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

Chapter 514: Reunion in the Rain 2

A deep and husky voice, distant like something from a dream.

Ning Xixi thought she was hallucinating, but then she heard that voice again, "Are you a pig? Sitting here in the rain?"

What an idiot! What on earth happened!

Wasn’t she supposed to be happily playing overseas? Why... Why did she end up in such a sorry state?

Ning Xixi stared blankly and looked up. There was a warm yellow light at the door, dispelling the darkness of the night, illuminating Ji Yebai’s handsome features.

Is it a dream?

—It must be.

Otherwise, why would Ji Yebai appear here?

He was dressed in a black coat, his figure tall and straight, standing tall, those eyes darker than the night staring unblinkingly at her.

"Dabai..." Her voice was soft, with a crybaby tone, filled with endless grievances.

She reached out to him, trembling, hesitant, as if afraid the scene before her was an illusion.

Her slender, fair hand, full of scars, grabbed onto him!

Ning Xixi’s eyes widened in shock. It was him! It really was him!

"Dabai... Dabai..." She repeated his name over and over, stubborn and uneasy.

"What’s wrong with you?" Ji Yebai asked in a deep voice.

Before he could finish speaking, the little girl suddenly stood up and flung herself into his arms, burying her little head against his warm chest, crying so hard she could not make a sound.

The pitter-patter of the rain couldn’t drown out her crying.

Ji Yebai held the umbrella with one hand, gently patting her back with the other, his lips pressed tight.

Her crying almost broke his heart.

"Stop crying," he said softly, clumsy and unsure of how to comfort her.

Ning Xixi cried even harder, as if to vent all the grievances she had suffered these days.

Ji Yebai said fiercely, "No crying!"

Fool! Who had bullied her? Speak up! So he could avenge her!

Just knows how to sniffle! As dumb as when she was little!

Ning Xixi couldn’t stop her tears, holding onto Ji Yebai’s lean waist, rubbing her tears and snot on his clothes, sobbing softly.

Ji Yebai was at his wit’s end, so he resorted to his trump card, "If you keep crying, I’ll leave!"

Ning Xixi was so frightened that her crying stopped abruptly, and she looked up at him with a timid glance.

"Don’t leave me alone, okay... Dabai..."

With a sweet and soft voice, accompanied by her tear-streaked face, how could Ji Yebai truly bear to leave?

Not so gently wiping her tears away, his tone was as domineering as ever, "If you obey, I won’t leave you. Do you hear me?"

"Uh-huh..."

Ning Xixi sniffled, memories of the recent past flashing by like fleeting light. She suddenly pushed Ji Yebai away, "You... you should go..."

Ji Yebai stumbled, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

Pushing him away?

Did she really not want to see him that much?

If someone else did this to him, he’d be unable to resist tearing them apart, but this person was Ning Xixi. He clenched his teeth, holding back for a long time before saying, "Even if the Ji Family goes bankrupt, I have more than enough to support you! You don’t have to worry about suffering if you’re with me!"

Such humility, even before his parents or elder brother, Ji Yebai had never shown.

But he was afraid of losing Ning Xixi.

Ning Xixi was dumbfounded, how could he think of her like that? Even if he wasn’t the young master of the Ji Family, she liked him all the same.
