I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 1046: Ning Xi, You’re Lying!

Ji Yebai: "..."

"Caw caw—"

It was as if a few molting black crows flew by in the air.

The awkward atmosphere lingered.

Ji Yebai nonchalantly played it off, "I got some strength back after eating."

Unfortunately, he underestimated Ning Xixi. The little girl turned things over in her mind and instantly understood that this guy was lying to her!

"You bastard! You actually tricked me into feeding you!" Ning Xixi was indignant, "Someone like you deserves to starve to death!"

"Hey, hey? Erxi, where are you going? My dear wife... Xixi Little Fairy..."

No matter what Ji Yebai said behind her, Ning Xixi completely turned a deaf ear, picked up the bowl, and left.

When she reached the living room, she ran headlong into the idle Song Zhiyang.

"Sister, why do you have a murderous look on your face?" Song Zhiyang said dramatically.

Ning Xixi gritted her teeth, "Don’t mind me, I just want to be alone."

Fuming, she went to the kitchen and poured out the remaining half of the noodles from the bowl.

Hmph! Stinky demon! Big liar!

She turned on the faucet and poured half a bottle of dish soap, venting her anger on the dishes...

...

After finishing the chores, she returned to her room and deliberately locked the door to prevent some shameless person from ambushing her!

She turned around and saw a lump on the bed, and she was shocked!

Who can tell her why Ji Yebai is lying on her bed and wrapped in her pink quilt?

"Ji Yebai, you pervert! Get off my bed!" Ning Xixi puffed her cheeks, furious.

Ji Yebai said faintly, "Erxi, I’m still injured. How can you bear to kick me out?"

"Go marry Anna, I don’t want to see you anymore!"

At the mention of Anna’s name, Ning Xixi felt a sting in her nose.

Ji Yebai sat up straight, looking at her tenderly. His long fingers pointed to the easel in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, "Ning Xi, stop being so contrary!"

This room was an ocean view room; outside the window was the sea, and on the windowsill sat several green plants.

Ning Xixi used this place as a studio. She had been painting by the bed for days, and except for the album cover she drew on the tablet for Ou Fengyi, everything else was done on paper.

At this moment, there was still a watercolor painting clipped to the easel.

Simple lines outlined two figures of different heights, the boy holding an umbrella while the girl held his arm.

The subtle and warm colors seemed to convey the artist’s longing.

This painting must have been filled with love to have such a vivid sense of déjà vu!

"It’s just a painting... I just drew it randomly. It’s not like it’s of you and me!" Ning Xixi stubbornly refused to admit that she drew herself and Ji Yebai.

Ji Yebai’s deep black eyes seemed to see through everything. He pulled out a sketchbook from beside the pillow, "Then what about this?"

"Give it back to me!" Ning Xixi rushed forward to snatch the sketchbook from him, but Ji Yebai naturally wouldn’t give it to her. In their struggle, the sketchbook fell onto the wooden floor.

The sea breeze blew in, flipping the pages one by one.

Whether standing or sitting, sleeping or reading... each depiction varied in posture, yet all bore the same face.

"If you don’t care about me, why draw so many sketches of this young master?" Ji Yebai seized Ning Xixi’s arm, staring intently at her.

Ning Xixi turned her face away, "I was just bored, drawing for fun, no special meaning."

"Liar!" Ji Yebai’s eyes were calm, yet incredibly certain, "Ning Xi, you’re lying!"
