Chapter 73: Chapter 073 The Moment Heart Fluttered 1

Cheng Youran’s eyes were moist, wiping away tears: "Ji Yebai... this is all my fault, I was the silly one, writing a love letter to the President, and asking Ning Xixi to pass it on, which led her to break the school rules. She’s innocent, please, help her!"

"Ah? So the love letter that sister-in-law passed on yesterday wasn’t for Yan Yichen?" Xiao Xichen leaned over with curiousity.

Ji Yebai slightly squinted his dark pupils, his handsome face remained expressionless, and his fingers under the desk were already clenched into fists.

Had he misunderstood Ning Xixi?

He had said such ugly words, not realizing that Ning Xixi was just helping a friend!

Damn it!

Seeing him silent, Cheng Youran thought he refused to help, biting her lip firmly: "I’ll confess the mistake! If anyone should run, it’s me!"

She was the one who made the mistake, how could she let Ning Xixi bear it for her?

"New girl, what are you doing?" Xiao Xichen watched in astonishment as Cheng Youran strode away, "Well... Ji brother, aren’t you worried about sister-in-law?"

Ji Yebai slightly tilted his chin up, looking a bit cold and unruly.

His memory drifted back to junior high, when Ning’s father was busy with his career, hardly taking care of Ning Xixi.

The Ning Family’s nanny was irresponsible too; during that time, Ning Xixi had developed a stomach illness, quietly going to the hospital for treatment alone. On the way home, probably overwhelmed by pain, she squatted on the roadside and cried alone.

At that time, he passed by on his bicycle, helplessly taking her home.

Her head resting against his back, she refused to say a word, just her tears soaking through his shirt.

Back then, Ji Yebai was naïve about feelings, but vaguely had only one thought: he didn’t want Ning Xixi to cry again.

Should he go or not?

She’s always been bad at sports, would she faint from exhaustion? Would her stomach illness flare up?

Hesitating, wavering, torn.

He was driving Xiao Xichen crazy: "Ji brother, are you going or not? If you don’t, I will!"

"This lord’s woman doesn’t need anyone else’s rescue!" With these words arrogantly leaving his lips, Ji Yebai strutted toward the classroom door.

But his steps were much faster than usual.

Xiao Xichen followed behind, grinning cheekily, "Hey, although your mouth says no rescue, your body is quite honest~"

He quickly followed.

...

Striding quickly to the sports field, the infatuated girls all started screaming—

"Ah! Young Master Ji is here!"

"Male god, male god! I love you!"

"Could Young Master Ji be here to stand up for the transfer student?"

"I think he’s just here to watch the show!"

Ji Yebai ignored everyone, walked up to Yan Yichen and grabbed his tie: "Where is she?"

"Cough cough..." Yan Yichen found it incredible, after all, he was almost a six-foot tall man, yet Ji Yebai’s single hand almost lifted him up, how strong was he?

Usually gentle as an angel, Yan Yichen’s face now looked extremely unpleasant: "She’s running."

Turning his head, his gaze swept around, a hint of perplexity appearing in his obsidian-like eyes.

Ning Xixi was indeed running, her expression serious, hair tied up in a ponytail, swinging as she moved.

But her running... could hardly compare to even a normal person’s brisk walk. Snail-paced and utterly embodying the true meaning of "jog slowly."

Ji Yebai let go of Yan Yichen, his thin lips curling up into a slightly pleased smile.

This little woman... really knows how not to suffer a loss.
