I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 954: The Real Target 1

Ning Xixi sat on the steps in front of the tombstone, chattering away about the things that had recently happened around her.

Like going to eat something delicious with You Ran, funny things that happened with classmates in her class, who she liked, who she hated, who she complained about, everything covered in detail, her sweet and soft voice, pleasant and clear.

The person she talked about the most was Ji Yebai.

"Mom, Dabai is really bad... He’s loved bullying me since we were young, I’m not good with words, can win arguments with others, but I can never win against him... so annoying, huff... but, he does have his good points too..." Ning Xixi propped her chin, her eyes shimmering, smiling with crescent-shaped eyes, making Ji Yebai’s heart feel all soft and mushy.

His little girl was always so beautiful.

The phone buzzed twice in his pocket, Ji Yebai greeted Ning Xixi and walked away to answer the call.

As soon as he left, the smile on Ning Xixi’s face slowly faded, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her fingers clenched tightly around the blue stone of the tombstone, tears falling in big drops.

"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much..."

Her voice thick with sobs, accompanied by endless grievances, spilled out.

"Dad, Mom, I miss you taking me to school, attending my graduation ceremony, and wedding ceremony... I will definitely be obedient, not upset you, I will definitely earn money well, let you retire early, and then I’ll take care of you..."

There’s a saying: The tree longs to be still, but the wind won’t stop; the son longs to care, but the parents can’t wait.

Among the many painful things in this world, parting through death is the deepest pain.

Ning Xixi cried harder and harder, but she bit her lip tightly, not allowing herself to make a sound.

"I’m sorry... I’m such a greedy child..."

She had the love of the Ji Family and the Song Family, but she still had countless nightmares in the depths of the night.

In her dreams, her parents’ faces were covered in blood, retreating endlessly, and she ran desperately, chased after them, but could only grasp onto emptiness.

Every nightmare felt like her parents dying in front of her again. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She was scared, panicked, but never showed it, never let anyone know, including Dabai.

Unbeknownst to her, Ji Yebai stood behind her, watching as she hugged her knees, her shoulders shaking continuously, crying silently, like a child who suffered grievances but dared not tell anyone.

He hesitated, walked forward, his hand just about to rest on Ning Xixi’s head when a sinister mocking laughter rang out, "Ning Xixi, look, what is this?"

Ning Xixi looked up, found Ji Yebai behind her, instinctively wiped away the tears on her face, and then looked toward the source of the voice.

A woman in a black dress, hair reaching her waist, wearing a black veil, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Her gaze was sharp, venomous, like a heart-palpitating snake.

She took out a black-wrapped object from the backpack behind her, threw it onto the ground, the black cloth unfolded, revealing two exquisite, antiquated boxes inside.

Ning Xixi’s blood ran cold, her body trembled uncontrollably, "Dong Yingluo, what did you do!"

Dong Yingluo, whose identity had been guessed correctly, laughed softly, lifted the veil.

Her face was covered in pustules, her features distorted and twisted, with Xu Liuli’s shadow still faintly discernible.

"Ning Xixi, watching you talk to the air is really funny, your parents’ ashes are with me!"
