I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 926: Let Me Help You, Okay?

Ning Xixi’s body trembled, tears welling up but unable to fall.

So that’s what the hidden ailment means...in this context!

You, Youran, are leading me to my doom!

"Will you still doubt this young master in the future?" Ji Yebai continued to tease her, gently toying with her lips, entwining them with his own.

"Mmm...no..."

Ning Xixi couldn’t even form a complete sentence.

Her shy and innocent demeanor only deepened Ji Yebai’s gaze, dark and intense as if soaked in ink, shimmering with fluid light.

In his mind, Angel Dabai and Demon Dabai started their battle again.

Demon Dabai shouted: Eat, eat, the little pig is plump enough to eat!

Angel Dabai, full of compassion: Goodness, goodness, impulse is the devil!

Demon Dabai spat in Angel Dabai’s face: Ning Little Pig is my woman, why can’t I eat?

Angel Dabai crouched in the corner drawing circles in silence...

Demon Dabai laughed with hands on hips: Hurry and eat! Braised, steamed, fried, pickled...a fragrant little pig is the best!

Just when it thought it was going to get its way, Ji Yebai suddenly released Ning Xixi and retreated slightly.

Demon Dabai roared "Are you a man or not," getting smacked ten thousand miles away.

"Looks like we’ll have to sleep separately." Ji Yebai touched his nose, laughed at himself a bit—he had indeed overestimated his self-control...

If this continued, he feared he really wouldn’t be able to control himself.

It’s not that he didn’t want to; rather, his love for Ning Xixi far outweighed physical desire.

Ning Xixi bit her finger, feeling lost, "Why do we have to sleep separately?"

"Because you’re a little rascal."

"I... I’m not!"

He knocked her smooth forehead lightly, lowering his eyes to gaze down, "You’ve teased this young master and won’t take responsibility. What are you if not a little rascal?"

Ning Xixi followed his gaze, and her face turned so red it seemed it could drip blood.

"I don’t want this either..." She was full of remorse, glancing at Ji Yebai’s handsome face. He furrowed his brow slightly, seeming as if he was enduring great discomfort.

Unconsciously, her delicate fingers caressed his brows, her voice soft and tender:

"Is it really that uncomfortable?"

That voice was warm enough to melt the snow-covered plains for miles.

Ji Yebai brushed it off with a light remark, "It’s nothing. Go to sleep. I’ll go back to my room tonight."

Saying this, he kissed Ning Xixi’s forehead, "Goodnight, Erxi."

He got out of bed, just stepping into his slippers, and a pair of small hands tugged at the hem of his pajama shirt.

With the gentlest touch and a shy tone:

"I can’t sleep if you’re not here."

Ji Yebai almost used all his self-control to stop himself from turning into a wolf.

This girl...does she know how lethal her words are!

"Erxi, stop fooling around. You should know, if the gun accidentally goes off, it’ll be you who suffers." He turned back and patted Ning Xixi’s head, speaking like coaxing a child.

Ning Xixi’s bright eyes blinked, her tone earnest: "Can you not leave..."

There was too much of a spoiled tone to ignore.

Ji Yebai’s eyes were like deep ancient wells, with a hint of warning in his tone: "Erxi, if you keep going on like this, I really won’t be able to leave."

Ning Xixi sniffed, the corners of her eyes reddening, her glass-like eyes misty, "Can I help you...like before..."

These words were so hard for her to say, yet she still managed to voice them.

Ji Yebai’s Adam’s apple moved, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Do you understand what you’re saying?"
