Chapter 623: Chapter 623 Carving You into My Heart 1
An unprecedented struggle, the turmoil in Ji Yebai’s heart is incomprehensible to others.
This has been his childhood sweetheart since he was a kid.
This is the girl he has loved and cherished for so many years.
Pushing her away, would he really remain indifferent to her hurt?
Erxi, don’t come any closer...
Don’t get near me anymore...
Ji Yebai lowered his eyelids, his thick lashes hiding the surging emotions.
The hand hanging by his side was already clenched into a fist, knuckles pale.
Yet—
Ning Xixi threw herself into his arms, her small head rubbing against his chest, clinging to his waist, her voice muffled and sleepy, "Dabai, I had a nightmare..."
In an instant, sunlight bathed the shoulders of the two.
In an instant, Ji Yebai’s heartbeat seemed to skip several beats.
Fireworks exploded in his mind, noisy, tumultuous, vibrant, surrounding him...
His thin lips parted slightly, but he could no longer utter words of rejection.
He couldn’t bear it.
Couldn’t bear to hurt her.
Couldn’t bear to leave her.
"Erxi..." His hoarse voice was beyond consolation, all his deep affection and loyalty transformed into a sigh.
Seeing her bare, tender feet, he tapped her little buttock lightly, "You never learn! The ground is cold, if you freeze and have painful periods, I won’t care for you then!"
Ning Xixi softly murmured, her delicate tone striking Ji Yebai’s heart.
He lifted her onto the bed, "It’s still early, sleep a bit more."
Ning Xixi clung to him, her eyes too sleepy to open, murmured, "But I’m scared..."
She was so afraid that once she let go, Ji Yebai would be gone.
"Silly aren’t you, let go, I smell of smoke."
"No... I won’t let go..."
"Are you a kangaroo? Still so clingy at this age, don’t you feel embarrassed?"
While complaining, Ji Yebai still held Ning Xixi tightly, patting her back like comforting a child, "Sleep, Erxi."
Ning Xixi drifted into a drowsy sleep, her little hand clinging to Ji Yebai’s shirt, refusing to let go.
Ji Yebai was helpless against her and let her be.
Pretending to sleep for a while, the door creaked, followed by a series of tiptoeing footsteps.
Ji Yebai sat up, Miaomiao tiptoed to the bedside, finger poking, looking guilty.
"What’s wrong?"
"Brother... I did something wrong..." Miaomiao confessed timidly, "Yesterday Sister Xixi said she wouldn’t come back to stay and told me to inform you and mom, but... I forgot to say..."
After speaking, she fearfully closed her eyes, "Brother, don’t hit Miaomiao, woo woo woo..."
Ji Yebai froze, thoughtfully looking at Ning Xixi.
So, she wasn’t missing yesterday? It was just Miaomiao’s little confusion causing trouble?
He had actually confronted her angrily...
"I’m sorry..."
"Knowing your mistake and correcting it still makes you a good child." Ji Yebai said in a low voice, "Go back to your room... you’re not the only one who should say sorry..."
Miaomiao showed a relieved expression, twisting her chubby body to run away quickly.
Ji Yebai, feeling complicated, smoothed Ning Xixi’s scattered hair behind her ear, the little girl murmured softly, slowly waking up.
Her shirt buttons were already pulled open by her, revealing much of his fair and robust chest.
Ning Xixi, sharp-eyed, spotted the tattoo on his chest—
"NX? What are you doing with this tattooed over your heart?" she yawned suddenly realizing something, her eyes slowly widening...
