Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 426 - 420 Fair Competition (Part 2)

Watching Ji Anning flee, Ji Mingyue scolded Ji Chicheng, "This girl, you scared her badly last night."

"You were the one who hit her." Ji Chicheng still resented Ji Mingyue for hitting Ji Anning last night, his tone icy cold.

Ji Mingyue frowned and retorted confidently, "Sometimes verbal abuse is more frightening than physical violence."

Ji Chicheng gave her a cold look, "You should leave now, or no amount of incense you burn for Old Lady Ji will help."

"You..." Ji Mingyue, pointing at Ji Chicheng’s indifferent face, was so angry she couldn’t speak a word. Finally, she clenched her fists, withdrew her hand, and turned to get into her car.

As she opened the car door, she thought of something and looked toward Xiang Yiqing in the car next to her, giving a friendly warning, "Kid, be careful whom you befriend."

After she spoke, she got into her car, and immediately the door shut with a ’bang’.

Ji Chicheng’s car was behind hers, she stuck her head out the window and shouted back, "Ji Chicheng, move."

Once Ji Mingyue drove away, Ji Chicheng pulled his car forward, stopping when parallel to Xiang Yiqing’s car, glanced at Xiang Yiqing.

Xiang Yiqing, pointing in the direction Ji Mingyue disappeared, looked amusingly at Ji Chicheng and asked, "Your family’s Saint Fighter?"

"Didn’t expect you to be interested in such a woman." Ji Chicheng gave Xiang Yiqing a look of disgust and, not paying him any more attention, slowly drove away.

Dr. Xiang was left alone on the spot, sighing, "Ha... these siblings really are close."

The old man didn’t call her again, and Ji Anning didn’t go home anymore, just attended classes and slept.

Life went on, outwardly calm.

The entire girls’ dormitory building, as the night grew dark, fell into silence. Her stomach ached a bit, calculating, her period was probably due in a few days since it came every thirty-four or thirty-five days; thus, it was hard to pinpoint the exact date.

Still the same insomnia, unable to sleep.

Ji Anning held a cup of hot brown sugar water in her hands, leaning against the window, looking down at the familiar figure below, who hadn’t appeared for several days now.

’Missing is a kind of deep and silent thing...’

Her phone endlessly looped this song, becoming sadder the more she listened, feeling more heartache, and wanting to listen more as the heartache deepened.

’I am willing for you, I am willing for you to exile myself...’

Her other hand reached out, blocked by the glass, gently touching her reflection on the glass, her lips slightly curling upward.

Uncle, I really wish the cup in my hands now was filled with alcohol. If I were drunk, could I recklessly miss you?

’Even if we no longer meet...’

Suddenly, the music changed, her ringtone for incoming calls.

Ji Anning snapped back to reality, walked over to the bed, bent down and picked up her phone, caller ID showing Ji Jingfeng.

Why would Jingfeng call her at this hour?

Ji Anning, puzzled, answered the phone and held it to her ear, "Hello."

"Ji Anning, come outside."

On the other side of the phone, Ji Jingfeng’s tone was drunken, his temper seemingly not small.

Ji Anning frowned, "What for?"

She had never seen Ji Jingfeng drunk before, so she couldn’t imagine what he was like right now.

This late, she definitely was not going to heed his words and go outside.

"If you don’t come down, I’ll come up to find you, you choose," Ji Jingfeng started clamoring on the other end, "Girls’ dormitory building, I’m right at your dormitory’s entrance now."

Startled by his words, Ji Anning hurried to the window, pulled it open, and peered down below.
