I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 909: I Believe Him (2)

"Doctor Uncle..." Ning Xixi glanced in the direction of Ji Yebai. She kept her voice low while talking to the doctor, and Ji Yebai, engrossed in the medical check-up report, didn’t overhear. She felt relieved and gave the doctor a big smile, "Thank you for telling me this!"

The doctor smiled and said, "I’ve looked at your check-up results; your health has improved a lot. Make sure to exercise regularly and watch your diet. Also, your body is quite weak, so you must see a doctor promptly for minor illnesses; otherwise, they could develop into serious ones and become very troublesome."

"Okay," Ning Xixi nodded in agreement.

After checking the report, Ji Yebai chatted with the doctor for a while, only leaving after he was sure about Ning Xixi’s health condition.

They ran into a familiar figure head-on.

Xu Liuli.

She was holding some medicine, seemingly just back from the pharmacy. As expected, the medicine was for Wen Sinian—Dabai hadn’t held back at all, and that fall meant Wen Sinian would be in the hospital for at least two days.

Seeing Ning Xixi and Ji Yebai, a trace of awkwardness flashed across her face, quickly concealed. She gave a gracious smile, nodded slightly at them, and was about to continue walking.

"Miss Xu, please wait," Ji Yebai said.

Xu Liuli turned back, surprised, "Young Master Ji, is there something you need?"

That innocent expression—if someone unaware saw it, they would never guess that her boyfriend had just gotten into a fight with Ji Yebai.

Ji Yebai’s lips curled with a profound meaning, a smile in his eyes that was unfathomable, "Shall we talk?"

Xu Liuli hesitated for a moment but nodded, "Alright."

Ning Xixi wanted to follow, but Ji Yebai said, "You wait for me here."

"Hmm... okay." Ning Xixi obediently stayed put.

Xu Liuli’s heart suddenly began to race. What exactly did Ji Yebai want with her?

-

The stairwell was empty, with a gentle breeze flowing through.

Xu Liuli lowered her eyes, her voice soft, "About today’s incident, I’m really sorry... I’ve tried to persuade Sinian countless times, but..."

"Let’s not talk about that. Let’s discuss something else," Ji Yebai’s tone was lazy, deliberately slow and deep, his voice rich and alluring, like a master cellist playing a world-class piece.

Suddenly, his hand gently touched Xu Liuli’s hair.

Xu Liuli was startled, "You..."

"There was a leaf," Ji Yebai naturally plucked a leaf from her hair.

Xu Liuli realized and smiled back, "Thank you."

This man in front of her was so alluring... Just this unintentional action made her heart flutter, making her unable to resist, getting lost in it...

Ji Yebai took a step closer, and Xu Liuli bashfully retreated, bumping into the hard, cold wall.

She crossed her arms over her chest and twisted her fingers back and forth, "Young Master Ji, what are you doing? Don’t forget, you have a girlfriend..."

"I know. Don’t you have a boyfriend too?" His eyes, like a vast galaxy, focused steadily on her, as if she was his entire world.

Xu Liuli’s voice softened like a pool of water, "I know my limits. How can I compare to her..."

Ji Yebai responded with an "Oh," unhurriedly saying, "She, huh, isn’t as smart as you, just a fool."

Xu Liuli, thinking too much of herself, believed that Ji Yebai implied that he disliked Ning Xixi for being foolish and preferred her for her intelligence.

Heh, it seemed men indeed thought from below. Was it because Ning Xixi couldn’t satisfy Ji Yebai that he was interested in her now?
