I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 782: Stop Being Overly Sentimental

In an instant, feelings of self-blame and guilt surged in his heart, causing Ji Yebai to unconsciously let go of Ning Xixi.

When he clearly saw the bruises that he had left on her body, Ji Yebai’s eyes darkened, and he cursed himself twice, then he untied the tie that was binding Ning Xixi.

"Sleep," he said briefly, and got out of bed to pick up his shirt and put it on.

"Qiaoqiao’s surgery isn’t over yet..." Ning Xixi didn’t understand why his attitude had changed.

Ji Yebai walked over, and she instinctively shrank back, an action that pained Ji Yebai’s eyes.

She was afraid of him.

Damn it!

Why couldn’t he control himself?

"Get some sleep, and I’ll tell you when the surgery is over," Ji Yebai said quietly, pulling over a blanket to cover Ning Xixi, "Behave, get some rest. You didn’t sleep well last night."

Remembering how he had tormented her last night, Ning Xixi pouted in annoyance, "And whose fault do you think it is that I didn’t sleep well?"

Ji Yebai, feeling guilty, chose to remain silent, tucked the blanket around her, and then walked out.

Ning Xixi was truly exhausted. As her mind relaxed, her eyelids grew heavy and soon she fell into a deep sleep.

...

The daylight was bright.

The curtains weren’t pulled tight, allowing streaks of mischievous sunlight to pierce through the window.

Ning Xixi mumbled and rolled over in bed, last night’s memories flooding back like a tide.

Qiaoqiao!

She jumped out of bed, only then realizing that her clothes had been ravaged by someone, leaving her stark naked...

The door creaked, and Ji Yebai happened to push it open.

Their eyes met.

"Ah!"

A few seconds later, a sharp scream came from the rest room, followed by the sound of the door slamming.

Ning Xixi returned to the bed embarrassed, covering her body with the blanket.

Ah, seen naked again!

Outside the door.

Ji Yebai put a finger to his lips and coughed, then made a phone call to his subordinate, ordering them to buy clothes for Ning Xixi.

...

Upon re-entering, Ji Yebai had a set of women’s clothes in his hand.

Putting the clothes beside the bed, Ji Yebai poked Ning Xixi, who had burrowed herself into a ball under the blankets, "I’ve put the clothes here."

Ning Xixi hesitantly poked her head out and asked softly, "How’s Qiaoqiao?"

"The surgery is over, his life is saved; for other conditions, we have to wait until he wakes up."

"Oh..."

"Get dressed, I’ll accompany you to see Grandpa Qiao."

"Eh?" Ning Xixi was stunned, not expecting Ji Yebai to offer help proactively, she muttered, "I could go by myself..."

"Ning Xixi! Are you a pig! Do you not consider me your man?" Ji Yebai roared.

Ning Xixi felt aggrieved, "I just didn’t want to trouble you, besides, I was afraid you’d be jealous."

She was used to being alone, solving problems by herself without relying on others.

Snap—

A flick on her forehead, Ning Xixi covered her head with her little paw and complained, "Why did you hit me?"

"Because you’re stupid!" Ji Yebai scolded frustratedly, "When have I ever complained about you being a bother? Dummy! Your issues are never a bother to me!"

Ning Xixi: "..."

She paused for two seconds, then slowly responded, "So, you’re angry because I didn’t let you help me?"

The young master turned his face away haughtily, "Don’t flatter yourself! Pig, hurry up!"

He walked out with one hand in his pocket, yet his steps staggered unnaturally.
