I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 996: Ning the Little Pig, You Need a Lesson Again, Don’t You?

Looking at Ning Xixi’s warm and sweet smile, Ji Yebai couldn’t help but gently brush the edge of his phone with his fingers.

He wished he could immediately appear by her side, wished he could hold her as she fell asleep.

But things in Country E were still unresolved, and no matter how eager he was to return, he couldn’t go back to China yet.

Suppressing his longing, he opened his lips and asked in return, "So, what did you see, huh?"

"I saw a Dabai who’s handsome, tall, and with a great body~" Ning Xixi said softly, cupping her small face, her eyes bright, looking very sincere.

Ji Yebai calmly said, "I think so too."

Pfft...

Could you be any more shameless, Ji Yebai! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Ning Xixi made a face at him, "Shameless!"

"Oh, Ning Little Pig, do you need a lesson again?" Ji Yebai toyed with an exquisite matchbox, raising an eyebrow with a hint of roguishness, appearing more charming than usual!

Ning Xixi noticed his movement, pouted, "Are you smoking again?"

Ji Yebai’s gaze was deep, as if it could penetrate through the screen into one’s heart, "I only smoke when I miss you."

Ahhh! Don’t look at her like that, she can’t handle it!

"Then don’t miss me, and don’t smoke, it’s bad for your health." Ning Xixi said pretending to be serious, her heart pounding like a little deer, thumping quickly.

Ji Yebai squinted and smiled, "Ning Little Pig, did you know, there’s a saying: ’Yearning for you becomes a disease, incurable with medicine.’ Smoking is bad for health, but do you think missing you is any better?"

Under his onslaught of sweet words, Ning Xixi let out a howl, covering herself with the blanket, only peeking out a blushing little face after a while, "You’re not allowed to tease me!"

Ji Yebai’s eyebrows and eyes were filled with tenderness, saying in a low, joyful voice, "Erxi, wait for me to come back."

By then, I’ll have a big surprise for you.

"I’ll wait for you, come back soon."

They were lovey-dovey for a while, and Ning Xixi started yawning, Ji Yebai reminded, "You should go to sleep."

"I’m not sleepy." As she said this, she yawned again, embarrassedly covering her face.

She just wanted to chat a little more with Dabai~ Why is her body not cooperating?

"Be good, sleeping early helps you grow taller." Ji Yebai coaxed, "Don’t you want to reach 160 soon?"

With stars in her eyes, Ning Xixi reported her height, always telling people she’s 160, when in fact she just recently grew to 159.5...

Yes, that’s right, such a heart-wrenching number...

"I’m going to sleep, goodnight!" Ning Xixi hung up the video call full of energy, burrowed into her bed, closed her eyes, come on Ning Xixi, you can grow taller!

Across the ocean, Ji Yebai looked at the now dark screen, his lips curving into a gentle smile.

Jacks, who came in to deliver some documents, saw this scene and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! Allen, this is the first time I’ve seen you smile so tenderly!"

"Really?" Ji Yebai raised an eyebrow.

Jacks was full of astonishment again, and then asked in broken Chinese, "Girlfriend?"

"No, my soon-to-be wife for life."

Jacks looked at him in confusion, obviously not understanding, so Ji Yebai repeated it, and Jacks said in surprise, "But, there’s a woman outside claiming to be your fiancée..."

Fiancée? Ji Yebai’s narrow black eyes suddenly narrowed.
