I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 5 - 00 Demon’s Kiss Addiction 5

Ning Xixi casually shrugged off the advice: "Got it, got it."

Ji Yebai was about to continue lecturing her, but suddenly, Ning Xixi's phone rang.

"Red beans, big red beans! Taro, squish squish squish..."

Ning Xixi fished out the phone from her pocket, slid to answer, and an excited, exhilarated female voice came through: "Xixi! You have to hear this! I've met the Mr. Right of my life!"

The caller was her good friend: Cheng Youran.

Ning Xixi: "Which one is this now?"

Her friend was great in many aspects but such a hopeless romantic ╮(╯_╰)╭.

Cheng Youran said shyly, "No, not like that! The previous ones don't count, this time I'm serious, it was love at first sight! At a dinner party yesterday, I twisted my ankle wearing high heels, and he was my knight in shining armor, swooped in to support me..."

Cheng Youran vividly described the scene, and Ning Xixi could imagine her friend's lovestruck expression over the phone.

"I'll send you a photo! He's really handsome! So handsome you could feast on his looks, picture-perfect!"

Cheng Youran chattered on, sending over a photo.

Ning Xixi was stunned when she saw it.

The photo was obviously taken sneakily and was somewhat blurry, but the man in the picture had an upright posture and good looks, making the image look like a magazine feature.

But she never expected Cheng Youran was talking about Ji Yebai!

This was kind of awkward...

Cheng Youran, her classmate from Ying City No. 47 High School, didn't know about her family background or that Ji Yebai was her neighbor.

Cheng Youran rambled on: "The day he saved me, I fell for him! But my dad said he's a child of some big shot, advised me not to harbor inappropriate thoughts... Sigh, I just want his phone number, to personally say thank you."

Ning Xixi was biting her fingernails, sneaking a glance at Ji Yebai.

Ji Yebai, who was about to go downstairs to fetch water with a cup in hand, had a handsome face and a tall figure. If only he weren't so sarcastic, he would be the perfect man.

Come Monday, she was transferring to Muying High School, meaning she and Cheng Youran would hardly meet in the future.

Should she... give Cheng Youran a hand?

"Cough cough, Youran, I need to hang up!"

She hung up the phone, following Ji Yebai in her bunny slippers, pretending to cough: "Nice weather today, huh!"

Ji Yebai glanced back at her, his face screaming "are you sick?"

"Um, Ji Yebai, do you think it's going to snow soon?"

"Spit it out."

Ning Xixi took out her mobile phone and handed it over to Ji Yebai.

"Look with a guy's point of view, which girl's lipstick color looks the best!"

Scrolling to Cheng Youran's photo, she intentionally paused, complimenting: "This one isn't bad, right... Hmm?"

"It's not bad." Ji Yebai sneered, grabbing Ning Xixi's chin sharply, his eyes suddenly becoming dangerous: "But... Ning Xixi, what are you implying?! Does this young master look like I need you to find me a woman?"

Ning Xixi got scared and quickly denied: "What are you talking about... what finding a woman..."

Unexpectedly, the slender white fingers on her chin pressed even harder, painfully enough she suspected it would leave an imprint!

"Mind your own business!" Ji Yebai's gaze was piercing with a hint of menace.

Ning Xixi bit her lip: "Let go first..."

Ji Yebai didn't let go; instead, he curled up his lips, his smile somewhat wicked: "Beg for mercy, ask for forgiveness, and I'll let you go. How about that?"
