I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 1172: Side Story – Dabai and Erxi 23

Everyone inevitably gets nervous, especially Ning Xixi, who was in a terrible state two days before the exam.

Ji Yebai didn’t force her to do exercises or explain problems but instead accompanied her to the balcony to watch the stars.

"Erxi, have you ever regretted this year of hard work?"

Ning Xixi looked up at the starry sky and shook her head without hesitation.

"That’s enough." Ji Yebai gently patted her head, his voice unbelievably soft, "If you do well, we’ll go to PD University together. If you do okay, I’ll go to another university with you. If you do poorly, then we’ll repeat senior year together. With me around, no one would dare think we’re embarrassing!"

Those words were firm and left no room for anyone to refute!

Ning Xixi burst into laughter, and as she laughed, her eyes started to get a little misty.

"Dabai... I think meeting you must have used up all my luck in this life."

Ji Yebai softly replied, "No, meeting me is the start of your good luck, not the end. Erxi, keep it up, you’re the chubbiest."

At the first half of the sentence, Ning Xixi was touched, but the second half made her want to pick up a brick and hit someone!

"Ji Yebai! You’re the one who’s chubby!"

"Eh? Aren’t you the one with short legs and chubby legs?" Ji Yebai looked at her with a disdainful expression.

Ning Xixi felt wronged, "Do you think my legs are too short to keep up with your long strides? Can’t you wait for me?"

Ji Yebai understood her underlying meaning.

With both hands behind his head, he lazily said with a bit of roguish charm, "Little pig Ning, I won’t wait for you in place."

Ning Xixi bit her lip and, frustrated, picked at the railing, muttering: "If you won’t wait, then so be it... I’ll just run faster, and one day I’ll catch up to you..."

"Idiot!" Ji Yebai tapped her head, exasperatedly saying, "I won’t wait for you in place; I’ll turn back to get you! You’re my wife, I won’t let you get lost!"

Is that... what he meant?

Ning Xixi was stunned, staring blankly at Ji Yebai, her bright and clear eyes gradually misting over.

"Good night, Erxi."

He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead and eyes.

Ning Xixi blinked her eyes and nodded in a daze.

"Good night, Dabai."

Good night, whole world.

......

The next day.

The college entrance examination officially began.

Once on the exam field, Ning Xixi surprisingly calmed down; after all, it was just an exam! What was there to be afraid of?

Sometimes, perhaps belief and mentality are more important than ability.

After two days of exams, Ning Xixi and Ji Yebai compared their answers and unexpectedly discovered... she might have performed beyond her usual level.

Ji Yebai helped her calculate the score, and based on last year’s cut-off, if nothing unexpected happens, getting into FD University shouldn’t be a problem for her.

Ning Xixi, knowing this news, was overjoyed and jumped up to hug Ji Yebai’s neck.

"Whoo-hoo, see you at FD University!"

Ji Yebai wickedly smiled and said, "Actually, even if we don’t meet at FD University, it doesn’t matter; we’ll see each other in bed every day anyway."

Ning Xixi: ...!!

Breaking into innuendo out of nowhere, Dabai really is an old hand at this!

Three days after the college entrance examination ended, the school held a grand graduation ceremony for the senior students.

Everyone changed into the school uniforms they once despised. In the vast auditorium, which was always bustling and noisy, today was surprisingly quiet.

A melancholic atmosphere spread.
