I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 741: Are You Having Fun?
Time ticked away, second by second.
Su Wanxia refreshed her email, and the one she had sent still showed as "unread."
She couldn’t keep her cool anymore and dialed Ji Yebai’s number, explaining her reason, "Ji Yebai, why aren’t you reading the email I sent you? Don’t you want to know where Ning Xixi went?"
"Why should I learn about my woman’s whereabouts through you?" Ji Yebai raised his brow, his fingers, distinct in their joint, rhythmically tapping on the desk.
He knew Ning Xixi had gone out with Qiao Nancheng, and there were always people he assigned to protect her secretly by her side.
He reckoned even a fool like Qiao wouldn’t dare to do anything to her, and knowing that Ning Xixi didn’t surpass Su Wanxia in the mock exam this time, he simply let those two fools go out to clear their minds.
Su Wanxia’s pretty face twisted in anger, "You really trust her that much!"
With a snap, the call was cut off.
Su Wanxia stared at the darkened phone screen and kicked a nearby tree.
Damn it! Ji Yebai just hung up on her!
...
In the arcade.
Qiao Nancheng bought game tokens and took Ning Xixi to play the claw machine.
"I’ll get it for you, which one do you want?" Ning Xixi said confidently.
Qiao Nancheng pointed at a pink rabbit.
"Wow, Qiaoqiao, your taste is so girly!"
Qiao Nancheng pursed his lips, as he thought the rabbit looked quite like Ning Xixi, especially cute.
Ning Xixi always liked to play the claw machine when she was in a bad mood. Though not skilled, she was quite lucky. After only three tries, she had clawed out the pink rabbit.
Qiao Nancheng, a tall and big guy, holding a pink rabbit, the contrast was just too cute!
They played basketball, shooting games, and motorcycle racing together... Watching the smile spread across Ning Xixi’s face, Qiao Nancheng’s lips curved upward too.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted in a corner of the arcade, and the crowd surged over like a tide.
Curious, Ning Xixi grabbed someone, "What are you all watching?"
The person, face flushed with excitement, exclaimed, "The two kings of our gaming center are having a PK match today!"
Ning Xixi wanted to watch too, but there were too many taller guys in front, and despite tiptoeing, she could only see the backs of their heads.
"Ugh..."
Suddenly, a strong, hot, and dry force gripped her waist and lifted her.
"Can you see now?"
Ning Xixi dumbly muttered an "Mhm."
Qiao Nancheng hoisted her a bit higher, and somehow, she ended up straddling his neck.
That kind of move... like a kid riding on their dad’s shoulders...
Suddenly, Ning Xixi was much taller than those around her, and she got excessively excited, "Qiaoqiao, you’re amazing!"
"Be careful not to fall," Qiao Nancheng reminded.
"Mhm!"
That day, she enjoyed the match thoroughly, while he, carrying a person, was drenched with sweat in the packed and hot arcade, with a goofy yet joyful smile showing his clean, neat teeth.
...
After the match ended, Ning Xixi bounced out joyfully, with Qiao Nancheng carefully following behind, afraid she might bump into someone.
But what he feared happened—thud! Ning Xixi bumped into someone and held her little head in pain.
From above, a cold, mocking laugh fell, "Had fun?"
She looked up, not surprised to meet Ji Yebai’s handsome face!
