I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 982: I Don’t Like You

The word "husband" really startled Jian Yixue!

"Ahem... don’t scare me, Yan Yichen, didn’t I already explain everything to you?" she said with a headache.

Yan Yichen smirked: "Suppose there are a hundred steps between us. If you’re afraid to take even one step, I’ll take ninety-nine steps, leaving one for you to consider. Until I reach you, please don’t push me away, okay?"

Those eyes were clear and deep, and when he smiled, his eyes always curved, squinting in an attractive shape. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Faced with such eyes and sincere words, the words of rejection that Jian Yixue had prepared slowly and gradually got swallowed back down.

Oh... what should I do when the manipulative president loves me so much!

......

Hospital.

Ning Xixi rushed to the hospital, put on sterile clothes, and pushed open the door to Qiao Nancheng’s ward.

In front of the hospital bed, the vibrant girl they had seen during the day was feeding Qiao Nancheng water with a cup.

"Qiaoqiao, you’re awake." Ning Xixi was panting, followed by Ji Yebai, whose face turned darker.

Perhaps Ning Xixi herself didn’t realize how important Qiao Nancheng was to her.

Upon seeing her, Qiao Nancheng blinked, and the lifeless look in his eyes came alive, his thin lips moved, "Xixi..."

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

Ning Xixi was shocked, frozen where she stood.

Her eyes widened slowly.

This voice... is clearly...

Guessing something in her heart, her shoulders shook, her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and she managed to regain control and walked to the bedside, "Are you alright?"

Qiao Nancheng pulled at the corners of his mouth, responding with a hum.

When together with her, he was always smiling. Over time, Ning Xixi thought he was happy with her, but she had never seriously observed his expression.

It wasn’t until today that she discovered Qiao Nancheng’s smile was so bitter.

"As long as you’re okay... take good care of your injuries, the doctor said you’re in good shape, as long as you wake up, you’ll recover quickly..." Ning Xixi smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes filled with vitality, without a hint of anomaly on her face.

"You don’t even think about why he’s injured..." Yu Qiange muttered, unfortunately overheard by Ning Xixi.

Ning Xixi bit her lip, "I’m sorry..."

"Qiange..." Qiao Nancheng frowned, "You, don’t say nonsense."

Qiao Nancheng’s voice was rougher than usual, low, and hearing it made Ning Xixi’s nose tingle.

It was him... it turned out to be him...

The white-masked boy who sang to her that night was Qiaoqiao.

Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision, turning everything before her into indistinct shadows.

Yu Qiange became emotional, "Why can’t I say it? Brother Nancheng, it’s because of her that you were hurt! It’s a gunshot wound, okay! The bullet almost hit your heart! You like her, why don’t you tell her!"

Seeing Ning Xixi and Ji Yebai come together, Yu Qiange felt greatly aggrieved for Qiao Nancheng.

Yet because of her words, an awkward atmosphere enveloped the ward.

After a moment, Qiao Nancheng spoke with difficulty: "She, she’s young and immature, Xixi, I... I don’t like you, we... are just... good friends."

He never thought he would say "I like you" to Ning Xixi in his lifetime.

But before the "like you," there’s a "don’t."
