Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Let Me Be Your Support 2

Cheng Youran had no idea about his "young man’s" thought process. Her face was beet red as she carried him with difficulty, trudging forward.

Fortunately, she was raised in a family running a Martial Arts Hall. She had always been strong since she was a child, and with Xiao Xichen being on the leaner side, she managed to carry him all the way back to Hot Spring Villa despite the struggle.

The two were in luck; as soon as they entered Hot Spring Villa, they bumped into Shi Nianchu.

In her urgency, Cheng Youran didn’t even have the presence of mind to call him teacher, and blurted out instinctively, "Uncle, Xixi and Ji Yebai are injured, you must hurry and bring a doctor over!"

Shi Nianchu, who was always gentle and refined, changed his demeanor instantly, quickly pulling out his phone to call the school doctor who had accompanied the group. He also contacted the owner of Hot Spring Villa to send a few people to follow them, to prevent any further accidents.

After sorting everything out, he cast a profound glance at Cheng Youran.

Exhausted, Cheng Youran slumped onto a sofa unmoving, while Xiao Xichen was tenderly massaging her shoulders and back. With coy shyness, he asked, "Youran, what would you like to eat? What would you like to drink? Shall we go soak in the hot springs later? Tell me if there’s anything you want..."

"There’s only one thing I want."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"Could you please shut up!"

"..."

Xiao Xichen, crestfallen from his bruised ego, scratched his head, stayed quiet for a few seconds but quickly began to cling again, "Youran, let’s play video games together, watch videos? You can even ask me to do a facial mask with you—please, together, together..."

"Mr. Shi, let’s get going." said the school doctor who had arrived in haste with a medical kit.

Shi Nianchu diverted his gaze and nodded slightly, his hand which hung by his side had unknowingly clenched into a fist.

...

In the forest.

Ning Xixi knelt on the ground, rummaging through her backpack to find pain-relief spray and plasters, tending to the wounds on Ji Yebai’s face first.

Ji Yebai couldn’t help but grimace.

"Hey, do you think the face is the most important?" the second young master asked discontentedly.

Ning Xixi blinked innocently, "Of course the face is important! Looks are justice, you know!"

Ji Yebai: "..." That was the first time he’d seen anyone champion the importance of looks in such a refined way.

"Besides, if you were ugly, I wouldn’t be your childhood friend." Ning Xixi pouted slightly, her dewy eyes gazing at him, "Does your head still feel dizzy? Do you want to lie down for a while?"

Ji Yebai crossed his arms and arrogantly ignored her.

Ning Xixi propped her chin, her imagination running wild, "I’ve heard that concussions can affect your IQ... and might even cause memory loss. If I cause you to lose your memory or turn stupid, what can I possibly offer to your Uncle, Aunt, and Miaomiao..."

Ji Yebai’s eyes narrowed, deceitfully pretending to have amnesia to tease her: "Who are you?"

"Ah?" Ning Xixi was visibly shocked, "You don’t remember me?"

Ji Yebai shook his head.

"Do you remember Uncle, Aunt, and Miaomiao?"

He shook his head again.

Ning Xixi was dumbfounded; her mouth agape, eyes wide and glistening, as if on the verge of tears.

"You’ve lost your memory..." Ning Xixi murmured under her breath, grabbing Ji Yebai’s hand in a panic, "Don’t be scared, medical technology is so advanced now, there must be a way to get you back to normal. My name is Ning Xixi, we grew up together... Don’t panic now, don’t be afraid, you still have me..."

Her thoughts were in such turmoil that it never crossed Ning Xixi’s mind that Ji Yebai could be tricking her.

"Ning Xixi?" Ji Yebai arched an eyebrow.

"Yes! Let me be your support," Ning Xixi sniffled, "I will protect you!"
