Chapter 22: Chapter 022: Not Convinced? Bite Me~

"Ouch..." Ning Xixi clutched her forehead, crying out pitifully.

Qiao Nancheng, looking as if he had committed a grave sin, quickly took a step back and sneaked a glance at Ning Xixi, apologizing uneasily, "I’m... I’m... sorry..."

"I’m telling you, you better go on a diet! Look at you, all muscles, as burly as an ox..." Ning Xixi poked his robust chest muscles hard, "Even bigger than a girl’s chest!"

Qiao Nancheng pursed his lips, his handsome face turning visibly red at a rapid pace.

"Don’t... don’t talk like... that..." he struggled to say.

"Hmph!" Ning Xixi made a face at him, "No fighting! No causing trouble! Don’t just come looking for me whenever! Otherwise, I’ll beat you up!"

She waved her little fist threateningly.

From afar, the scene looked rather comical.

A petite figure daring to flaunt power before a hulking figure.

Yet, that hulking figure actually shrunk his neck in fear, obediently nodding.

"Here, this... for... for you..." Qiao Nancheng tried to make his voice sound normal and fished out a big handful of starry lollipops from his pocket, his eyes dark and moist.

Ning Xixi took them and stuffed them into her pocket, looking like a landlady exploiting a poor farmhand, "Any more? Turn them all in."

Qiao Nancheng shook his head.

"That’s being good." Ning Xixi jumped up and patted his head, "I’m off, bye~"

After she walked away, Qiao Nancheng touched the top of his head and a slight smile curved up his lips.

...

Ning Xixi, eating the lollipop, returned to the playground to face Ji Yebai’s blunt accusatory tone, "Why run around with such short legs! Silly girl, you’re now this young master’s girlfriend, who allowed you to talk to other boys!"

...This guy is acting up again.

Wasn’t it just to tease her that he announced that she was his girlfriend in front of the whole school! Now he’s pretending to be worried; that’s overacting!

"I can do whatever I want, none of your business." Ning Xixi stuck out her tongue, "If you don’t like it, bite me~"

Ji Yebai narrowed his long, deep-set eyes, his gaze resting on her tender pink tongue tip, inexplicably turning heated...

He really did feel like giving her a "bite," to see if he could shut up this endlessly chattering girl!

With such a thought, yet unable to fulfill it, made Ji Yebai’s temper flare up.

He grabbed Ning Xixi’s arm and started walking forward wordlessly.

Ning Xixi was scared, "Hey... what are you doing? Trying to hide a body? Ji Yebai, I knew you were unrefined! But this is too much! Ah..."

A big hand looped around her waist, the other lifting her legs, bending his knees, heaving up—Ji Yebai picked her up in a standard princess carry!

Girls around envied, jealous and hateful eyes could almost kill Ning Xixi, while the boys were all dumbstruck.

Ji Yebai carried her in front of the PE teacher, expressionless, "Teacher, Miss Ning is feeling unwell, I’m taking her to the hospital."

The PE teacher stuttered, "Go... go..."

Amidst Ning Xixi’s roaring, Ji Yebai calmly and composedly carried her to the parking lot, opened the car door, stuffed Ning Xixi into the passenger seat, and securely fastened her seatbelt!

"I’m not sick, okay!" Ning Xixi yelled at him.

"Behave yourself!" Ji Yebai leaned over, his warm breath spraying on Ning Xixi’s face, his domineering command tinged with an unspeakable hint of ambiguity...
