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

Chapter 332: This Man, Once Belonged to Me 3

His tone was clearly indifferent, lightly spoken, yet it still pierced Dong Yingluo’s heart like the sharpest knife.

"Ji Yebai..." Dong Yingluo’s beautiful face was filled with hurt, "Am I really nothing to you?"

Ji Yebai laughed, a colder laugh than when he wore a stern face.

"To me, some people are unique. Others are just passersby."

He stood up. "I am grateful to you for what happened back then, but it does not serve as shackles to coerce me. If you wanted to catch up with me as a friend, I could welcome you back. But if it’s more than that, then, I have nothing to say to you."

Dong Yingluo’s heart plummeted from the peak to the valley like a roller coaster.

All those self-presumptive expectations she harbored were shattered to dust by Ji Yebai.

So this man could indeed be this resolute.

She thought she was special to him, but to him, she was merely a passerby.

Leaving those words behind, Ji Yebai walked away without looking back, leaving Dong Yingluo sitting pale-faced on the tall stool.

Xiao Xichen came over on eggshells to do damage control, "Well, Yingluo, it’s getting late. I’ll find someone to take you home."

Dong Yingluo glanced at him, her lips bitten tight.

Even Xiao Xichen treated her this way.

They clearly had a private room and a party, but Xiao Xichen clearly had no intention of inviting her to hang out.

Ji Yebai, too, just sat at the bar and did not invite her into the private room, almost as if he was avoiding her.

She had only been gone for a year, why had everything changed so drastically?

In a corner of the bar, Ma Yiqing’s eyes gleamed, toying with her phone.

She had received the news of Yingluo asking to meet Ji Yebai and arrived at the bar as fast as she could; sure enough, she saw Ji Yebai come.

The scene between the two at the bar had been captured on her phone!

She sent the video to a tech whiz to blur out the sound so that one could only hear the conversation between the two without making out what they were saying.

After editing the video, she sent it to Ning Xixi’s email, with a smug smile on her lips.

Ning Xixi, let’s see what you do this time!

...

Ji Yebai took his keys and opened the door, returning to the bedroom where only a night light was on, casting a soft yellow halo.

Ning Xixi was sound asleep on the bed, her tender little feet sticking out from the covers, her sleeping posture far from composed.

He shook his head, adjusted her position for her, tucked in the blanket, and then lay down beside her.

The early spring night was slightly cool, and feeling the heat source beside him, Ning Xixi naturally snuggled into his embrace.

"Mmm..." She mumbled a few incoherent words, her little head burrowing into Ji Yebai’s chest, comfortably continuing her sleep.

"Pig..." Ji Yebai muttered disdainfully, but his body honestly drew Ning Xixi tighter into his embrace.

Goodnight, my Ning little pig.

...

The next day.

Muying High School. Class S.

Ning Xixi had just put away her backpack when a sweet and clear voice sounded overhead, "Classmate, may I sit next to you?"

She looked up and was stunned.

Such a beautiful girl!

Perfect features, perfect figure, long hair cascading down her chest, her eyes forming crescents when she smiled.

"I’m sorry, I already have a deskmate."

"I see." The girl smiled sweetly and extended her hand to her, "Hello classmate, my name is Dong Yingluo. Please take good care of me!"
