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

Chapter 571: Love is Wanting to Touch Yet Retracting Your Hand 8

Yan Yichen mysteriously surveyed the surroundings before slipping a small knife into the pale palm of Ning Xixi’s hand.

The silver handle of the knife was engraved with exquisite patterns, quite suitable for a girl.

Ning Xixi drew the knife from its sheath and found that it was indeed sharpened.

"Hey, this is a controlled knife! Why are you giving this to me?" Ning Xixi exclaimed, jumping in shock.

"It’s for your protection," Yan Yichen explained gently, "A friend of mine brought it back from the R country. You can use it to slice fruit, but if you encounter real danger, it might come in handy."

So that was the case.

Ning Xixi understood, "Thank you."

"Don’t mention it. Is Ji Yebai being discharged from the hospital tomorrow?"

"Yep."

"Alright, then I’ll come over again tomorrow." Yan Yichen waved goodbye to her and left.

Ning Xixi returned to the ward and saw Ji Yebai, arms crossed, looking at her with an unhappy face.

"Miss Ning flirts around, and Mr. Ji seems very angry."

Ning Xixi made a face, "I did not. You’re the one with all the unwanted suitors!"

Ji Yebai touched his nose sullenly. That did seem to be true.

Thump thump.

A rhythmic knocking sound came from the door.

Ning Xixi sprightly went to open the door, poking her head out, "Who is it?"

Suddenly, she came face to face with a pair of moist, shining black eyes.

"Eh? Dong Jinseng? What are you doing here?" Ning Xixi asked in surprise.

Dong Jinseng nervously rubbed his hands, "I... I’m looking for you..."

"Looking for me? What for?"

Dong Jinseng looked down at his toes, silent.

Ning Xixi thought for a moment, "Let’s go outside to talk."

Ji Yebai frowned with black lines on his forehead; one visitor had just left, and here came another. Would this ever end?

He got out of bed and coolly followed them.

Even if it was Dong Jinseng, this kid, he wasn’t allowed! He had to keep his distance from his wife!

Ning Xixi followed Dong Jinseng to the stairwell, without any guard against him, she casually said, "Just talk, what’s the matter?"

Dong Jinseng looked directly at her, his eyes moist with a pain and struggle that Ning Xixi didn’t understand.

"Speak, are you hungry? How about I take you for some meat later?" Ning Xixi said with a cheery smile, sizing up Dong Jinseng, noticing that he looked healthier than before, wearing new sportswear from some brand, and his hair neatly cut short, giving him the appearance of a cute, innocent boy.

"You’ve gotten more handsome! Your new clothes look great!" Ning Xixi complimented him genuinely.

Dong Jinseng clenched his fists tightly.

"I’m sorry."

Ning Xixi asked with suspicion, "Sorry for what?"

Dong Jinseng’s shoulders twitched, his eyes turning red as if he had made up his mind, and with a low growl, he pushed Ning Xixi...

He had trained in sports for many years, and his strength was not to be underestimated.

If Ning Xixi were pushed by him, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Everything happened so suddenly, Ning Xixi had no chance to react, but a figure moved swiftly like the wind, pushed her away, and took Dong Jinseng’s shove himself.

Boom—

Ji Yebai tumbled down the stairs, hitting his head on a step, but fortunately, he was agile and quickly steadied himself.

"Dabai!" Ning Xixi cried out, "Dong Jinseng, what are you doing?"

Before she finished speaking, Ji Yebai shouted angrily, "You little scoundrel, stop right there! How dare you push her, I’ll kill you!"

Dong Jinseng got frightened, grasping Ning Xixi’s shoulder, she could feel his hand trembling.

"Don’t... don’t do that..."

Ji Yebai strode forward in a few steps, kicking Dong Jinseng away!

"Are you crazy?"
