Huh?
He is going to tell her about his past with Dong Yingluo...
For some reason, a sense of panic overwhelms her heart, and Ning Xixi covers her ears with her hands, "I don’t want to listen, don’t talk to me about it!"
Such behavior akin to burying her head in the sand only prompts Ji Yebai to sigh.
His large hand grasps her small one.
"Erxi, let me finish speaking."
His tone is imperatively decisive, yet his touch is gentle, enveloping her hand warmly and securely in his palm.
Unwittingly, she lets down all her guards.
"Go ahead, I will... listen properly."
...
Time rewinds.
Muying Junior High School, tennis court.
A slightly immature Ji Yebai holds a tennis racket, practicing against the wall, sweat streaming down his chiseled handsome face, the fringe on his forehead soaked and provocatively sexy.
He appears tireless, having practiced for over an hour without stopping.
In his mind, the image of Ning Xixi chasing after Gong Xiu made him hit the tennis ball even harder.
Thump, thump—
"Are you Ji Yebai?" A boy’s voice rang out, Ji Yebai didn’t even glance at him, focusing intently on his practice.
"Hey, why are you ignoring me! I came to challenge you!"
Ji Yebai stops, gives him a sidelong glance.
Wearing washed-out white sports clothes, a buzz cut, silly and goofy, his height... not even reaching Ji’s chest.
A primary school student?
"I don’t bully kids, you can leave," Ji Yebai’s voice is cold.
"I’m not a kid! I’m a genius!" The boy touches his nose, "Don’t believe it? Let’s have a match!"
Ji Yebai, feeling idle, picks up his racket, "Alright, but don’t cry if you lose!"
"Of course!"
"Ji young master, this is my little brother Dong Jinseng, let me be the referee for you guys!" Dong Yingluo appears in pink sports attire.
Ji Yebai gives her a glance, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.
Ning Xixi looks so cute and bright in pink, why does it look so ugly on this woman?
Dong Yingluo, oblivious to his thoughts, kept trying to make conversation, yet Ji Yebai was curt and hardly uttered even simple responses like "hmm" or "ah."
The duel begins.
Dong Jinseng serves, his arm strength and skills are indeed impressive.
Unfortunately—his opponent is Ji Yebai!
That day became Dong Jinseng’s nightmare.
Termed as the "New Star Light" of the junior tennis world by his coach, he was catastrophically defeated by Ji Yebai!
Anyone else, having lost so miserably, would have been devastated.
But Dong Jinseng... was an exception.
His eyes shone brightly, a look of admiration for the strong, "You’re amazing! Can you be my big brother?"
"I don’t take on little brothers," Ji Yebai unscrews a bottle of mineral water and takes a few gulps.
After drinking, just as he was about to throw the bottle away, Dong Jinseng hurries over, "Big brother, let me throw it away for you!"
Ji Yebai: "..."
From that day on, wherever Ji went, Dong Jinseng would follow.
Through Dong Yingluo, Ji Yebai learned some facts about Dong Jinseng.
For instance, he had shown exceptional physical coordination from a young age; for instance, a fever in childhood treated with the wrong medication had delayed his cognitive abilities by several years...
Towards this little fan, Ji Yebai appeared indifferent on the surface but gradually took quite good care of him.
After all, the kid was truly endearing.
The accident happened on that day—
