I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 971: What’s for Dinner Today? Can I Eat You?

Qiaoqiao... likes her?

Ning Xixi was completely dumbfounded!

How could it be... how is it possible...

Seeing the genuine expression on Ning Xixi’s face, the young girl stuck out her tongue, "You really didn’t know, did you..."

She realized that if Ning Xixi didn’t know, wouldn’t that mean that Brother Nancheng had been keeping it from her all along?

And wouldn’t that mean she had just revealed Brother Nancheng’s secret?

The young girl quickly covered her mouth, trying to explain, "I didn’t say anything!"

Saying that, she shouldered her backpack and ran toward the elevator, looking back now and then, like she was afraid of being caught for doing something wrong.

"Hey hey..." Ning Xixi called out to her, but the young girl instantly sped up, running even faster!

At this speed... it would be a shame if she didn’t become a track athlete.

Ning Xixi helplessly opened her palm, "I was trying to give you this..."

A silver school badge shimmered in the sunlight, with a name printed in black on a white background: Yu Qiange.

The name was quite pleasant.

Thinking for a moment, Ning Xixi put the badge in her pocket, planning to return it to her later.

"Dabai, I’m hungry, let’s go eat." Ning Xixi acted as if nothing had happened, smiling like a cat.

Ji Yebai’s eyes flickered with a deep understanding, his long fingers stroking his chin as he teased her earnestly, "What do you want to eat today? Can you eat me?"

Ca...n... you... eat... me...

Stinky Dabai, do you have a disease where you’ll die if you don’t flirt with people?

Ning Xixi blushed, pinching his waist, "Let’s go!"

Ji Yebai’s eyebrows showed a touch of fondness, a warmth shown only to Ning Xixi.

...

Ji Yebai chose a restaurant that Ning Xixi loved. After the food was served, he found that Ning Xixi was eating absentmindedly.

When a foodie isn’t eating well, there’s only one possibility: she’s got something on her mind.

Thinking of Qiao Nancheng, his long fingers involuntarily tightened around the glass.

Yet he maintained a calm appearance, "Don’t like it? We can go somewhere else."

Ning Xixi snapped out of it, quickly shaking her head, "No need to trouble yourself, this place is quite good..."

"Eat more. You look so thin." Ji Yebai frowned, placing a few pieces of meat on her plate, "Don’t overthink things. Just eat obediently and get yourself nice and chubby, okay?"

Ning Xixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "I’m not a little pig..."

"Yes, you are! A silly little Ning pig!"

Accustomed to Dabai’s teasing, Ning Xixi wisely chose to ignore it—what else could she do? She couldn’t win in a verbal spar with Dabai, after all /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Just as they were eating, there was a commotion nearby—

"Hey, what kind of server are you? It’s bad enough you’re flirting with my boyfriend with your eyes, but you also spilled sauce on my skirt. Do you know how expensive this skirt is?"

A sharp female voice whined, completely out of place in the elegant and peaceful restaurant.

"I’m sorry, sorry... Can I wipe it for you?" a voice, tinged with sobs, repeatedly apologized.

The tables were separated by plants, so Ning Xixi couldn’t see the faces of the people involved, but she thought the voice sounded familiar. She stood up to see what was going on.

"Xiaoxue..." She paused, noticing that the customer was about to hit Jian Yixue. She immediately rushed over in anger, "Stop!"

"And who are you?" the heavily made-up female customer glared menacingly at Ning Xixi.
