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

Chapter 620 Silent Companionship

"Alright!" Miaomiao replied sweetly, hopping and skipping into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, the little girl only cared about the ice cream in the fridge, disregarding what Ning Xixi had told her.

...

As night fell, neon lights flickered.

Ning Xixi tied her hair up, making her look youthful and lively.

"Where are you going?" Qiao Nancheng asked anxiously.

"I’m not going to kill or set fires, don’t worry." Ning Xixi said nonchalantly, stopping in her tracks and patting Qiao Nancheng on the shoulder, "Qiaoqiao, are we good friends?"

Qiao Nancheng stared at her cautiously, "What, what are you going to do?"

"Just answer me!"

"...Yes." Qiao Nancheng awkwardly nodded.

Ning Xixi smirked slyly, "Then take me to do something I’ve always wanted to do but never dared to."

Qiao Nancheng: "..." He knew he was going to be tricked...

...

In the noisy internet café, filled with smoke everywhere.

In a double-room, Qiao Nancheng stared at Ning Xixi with a surprised face.

She was cheerfully eating a bucket of instant noodles and ordering him around, "Get me a pack of spicy strips! I want Weilong!"

Qiao Nancheng’s lips twitched, but as always obedient to Ning Xixi, he stood up.

Just as he reached the door, he heard the girl’s soft, glutinous voice adding, "Na-na, add two more marinated eggs!"

His usually stable footsteps staggered suddenly.

Having bought everything she wanted, Ning Xixi held the mouse in one hand and the keyboard in the other, fervently playing a game.

Bang, clang!

On the screen of the shooting game, an enemy was headshot by Ning Xixi!

"Wow, Qiaoqiao, come online, this game is so fun!"

Qiao Nancheng logged in silently and fought alongside her.

She attacked, he covered; he killed, she looted... amidst the intense game sound effects, Qiao Nancheng silently typed, "Aren’t you happy?"

"Hahaha, why would I be unhappy~\(≧▽≦)/~ come on and snipe the MVP on the other side!"

Qiao Nancheng swiftly sniped the opponent and typed, "You’re lying, you are."

Ning Xixi replied with a smiling emoji and ignored him, rushing alone into enemy grounds.

Qiao Nancheng watched as her character died over and over again, each time resurrecting and charging forward with no way for him to save her.

In the end, all he could do was die with her, then rush from the respawn point to the enemy camp...

In this not so beautiful night, he silently kept her company...

After a while, Qiao Nancheng realized Ning Xixi’s character hadn’t moved for several minutes, he looked up and saw Ning Xixi slumped on the sofa, asleep.

He sighed, took off his jacket, and gently covered her with it.

He stared at her, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the door of the room shook violently, and with a thunderous noise, the flimsy door panel crashed down!

A tall, upright figure slowly stepped in, wearing a pair of globally limited-edition sports shoes.

Qiao Nancheng glanced at Ning Xixi’s feet, hers and his were a matching pair.

Looking up, he met Ji Yebai’s somber eyes; Qiao Nancheng’s muscles tensed.

"You woke her up."

"Heh..." A cold laugh, thin lips spat out harshly, "Get lost."

With such a commotion, Ning Xixi was woken up, her eyes sleepy as she opened them.

Ji Yebai’s voice was cool, "Come with me."
