The indigo light spilled over her shoulder, Ji Yemo raised his hand to wipe away the wine stain from the corner of her mouth, his voice rough like sandpaper.

"Xixia, really don’t want it anymore?"

Drunk Ruan Xixia didn’t know how difficult that question was for Ji Yemo.

She said indifferently, "Yes, don’t want it anymore!"

Ji Yemo’s gaze deepened instantly.

After a while, he moved his mouth, striving to squeeze out a smile, "Alright, whatever you say."

Everything is well-deserved for him.

Ten years, he has to pay the price.

"Let me take you back." He held Ruan Xixia’s wrist, and she hung onto him like a koala, tugging on his shirt and questioning, "Tell me, did you ever have a crush on me in high school?"

In high school...

Ji Yemo’s memories flowed back to eleven years ago.

That year, he and Ruan Xixia were freshmen, she appeared in his life like a brilliant summer flower.

Back then, Ruan Xixia, though young, was already quite beautiful, a bit vain, never wearing her school uniform properly.

On the first day of school, Liang Qianli fell in love at first sight with her, pursuing her throughout high school.

As Ji Yemo’s good brother, naturally he’d have no thoughts about a woman his brother liked.

So, throughout high school, he ignored her, even if occasionally a faint ripple stirred inside him, he ruthlessly ended it himself.

He didn’t want to deceive her, so he calmly replied, "No."

Ruan Xixia was momentarily stunned.

Her eyes reddened little by little, her aggrieved appearance made one’s heart ache fiercely.

"You won’t even lie to me a little! Bastard!"

Ji Yemo’s voice was hoarse, "I’m sorry."

"Who wants to hear you say sorry!" Ruan Xixia’s temper flared, she kicked his calf, "Hmph, you don’t like me, so I won’t like you either!"

A drunk person doesn’t know their strength, yet Ji Yemo didn’t even frown, he gently rubbed Ruan Xixia’s hair, softly murmured, "Alright, whatever you say is okay."

No matter how unreasonable she became, he would indulge her unconditionally.

Ruan Xixia felt unsatisfied, her beautiful eyes glared at him, "Then I’m at a loss, how will you compensate me?"

"Compensate?"

"Yes, you need to compensate for my youth!"

Ji Yemo remained silent, Ruan Xixia pouted her red lips, "Liar! You just said whatever I say is okay, now you’re going back on your word, sure enough, men’s words can’t be trusted!"

As her words fell, Ji Yemo laughed, deeply, as she leaned close, she could even feel the vibration in his chest.

"I’ll compensate you with the rest of my life, okay?"

Ruan Xixia blinked, sleepiness overcame her, she yawned and asked drowsily, "What do you mean?"

Vaguely, she saw Ji Yemo’s lips opening and closing, but she was too sleepy, collapsing into his arms, closing her eyes, not hearing Ji Yemo’s words afterward, "I will never marry or have children."

Owe you youth, repay with the rest of my life.

Looking at the small woman asleep in his arms, Ji Yemo sighed helplessly.

She’s drunk, definitely can’t go back to the Ruan Family; taking her to his place also seems inappropriate. After consideration, Ji Yemo took her back to the Ji Family.

Ji Yebai and Ning Xixi had moved out, Ji Dad and Ji Mom were traveling the world, only Miaomiao and Han Naisen were home.
