I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 912: Have You Decided How to Punish Me?

Certainly, here is the translation of the Chinese novel excerpt you provided:

Ning Xixi grew up with Ji Yebai, couldn’t win an argument with him, and definitely couldn’t win against such a weakling?

With just a casual phrase, she left Xu Liuli and Wen Sinian looking visibly upset.

Their expressions were like a palette of colors, vibrant and varied.

"And, to correct you, it’s not Yebai staying away from your life, it’s you two staying away from us! Stop messing around, okay? No one cares about you." Ning Xixi stood with her hands on her hips, both proud and adorably stubborn, "Or else, I’ll have someone put you in a sack and beat you up."

As she spoke, she waved her small, porcelain-like fists.

Xu Liuli clenched her hand tightly, nails digging into her palm without her realizing it.

Ning Xixi grabbed Ji Yebai’s big hand and pouted, "I’ll settle things with you when we get home!"

The two left hand in hand.

Wen Sinian was still in a daze, only realizing afterwards that Ning Xixi had actually threatened him!

...

Ji Family.

Ning Xixi unconditionally defended Ji Yebai in front of others, but to say she had no grudge at all inside was impossible~

So as soon as she got home, she locked the bedroom door, arms crossed, glaring at Ji Yebai, "Washboard or durian, pick one!"

Ji Yebai couldn’t help but laugh, "Erxi, didn’t you say you trusted me?"

"That was just talk, hmph!" Ning Xixi stubbornly retorted, relenting her advantage, "Who allowed you to give her a leaf? Who allowed you to talk to her? Why didn’t you dodge when she fell down? You let her fall into your arms... Ji Yebai, you jerk!"

She waved her little claws, aiming to punch Ji Yebai’s chest, but when she got close, she clenched her claw and withdrew.

This small gesture made Ji Yebai’s deep eyes as gentle as spring water, lightly grasping her small hand, holding it in his palm, gently kneading, "Couldn’t bear to?"

"Who’s couldn’t bear to, I’m just worried that your thick skin will hurt my hand!"

Contrary Ning Little Pig... Ji Yebai’s heart softened utterly, throwing away dignity and pride far into the distance, coaxing, "Yes, yes, I’m just a jerk, I should only look at you, only talk to you, only hold you, only sleep with you..."

"Stop, stop!" Silly Dabai wouldn’t stop teasing her, interrupting, who knows what earth-shattering words he might continue to say!

Ji Yebai complied, with a mischievous smile tugging at his lips, "So tell me, how should I be punished to make you happy?"

This really stumped Ning Xixi, she pondered for a long time without coming up with anything, fiercely saying, "I’ll think about it and tell you later!"

...

The sound of rushing water gradually stopped, Ning Xixi dried her hair and changed into pajamas, coming out of the bathroom.

Ji Yebai lay on the side of the bed, casually flipping through a racing magazine, the side of his face bathed in orange light, softening his typically domineering and sharp features.

Bang—

Outside the window, a fierce storm erupted, thunder roared suddenly, crackling loudly, startling Ning Xixi into a flurry as she scrambled onto the bed.

Ji Yebai squinted his eyes, turning off the room’s only lamp.

Ning Xixi, who had night blindness, instantly turned into a half-blind person, fumbling for the light switch, "Hey, why did you turn off the light..."

Ji Yebai turned over, pressing her beneath him, his voice husky, "Have you thought about how to punish me yet?"

"No, no..." Ugh, what is he going to do?

"Don’t rush, take your time to think..."

After all, the night is still long.
