Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Come Into My Heart, or, I’ll Come to Fetch You 9
Grandpa Ji: ...This dog food really caught me off guard!
"Umm..." Ning Xixi woke up, rubbing her eyes sleepily, almost falling to the ground.
Ji Yebai quickly extended his hand and embraced her into his arms.
Ning Xixi clung onto him like a koala, wrapping her arms around his lean and toned waist, and mumbled unclearly, "Did we... win?"
Ji Yebai raised an eyebrow, "Give me a kiss, and I’ll tell you."
Ning Xixi pouted, her silly temper tantrum appearance made Ji Yebai’s heart melt.
Smooch.
He kissed Ning Xixi’s flushed cheeks, "Fine, I’ll take a loss, kiss you instead and tell you. The answer is— I won."
Grandpa Ji: ...This dog food really is utterly unavoidable!
The old man clutched his chest, waving his hand, "Both of you go away."
Stop hurting this old man!
Only then did Ning Xixi realize Grandpa Ji was still there, she withdrew her hand, her face blushing in embarrassment.
Ahh! Would Grandpa Ji think she’s too frivolous, and have a bad impression of her?
Ji Yebai knew that Grandpa Ji was probably reminiscing about Grandma Ji.
Grandma Ji... is no longer with us...
He picked up Ning Xixi sideways, "Let’s go back to sleep."
Ning Xixi’s face turned beet-red!
I mean, couldn’t you phrase that less ambiguously? Anyone would think they were heading back to do something indescribable!
-
Bedroom.
Ji Yebai threw Ning Xixi onto the bed, letting the little girl roll into the blankets to continue sleeping. He lifted the corner of the blanket and raised his sharp chin, "Make some room for this young master."
Ning Xixi grumbled and shifted aside, and soon felt the mattress dip next to her as Ji Yebai lay down.
Warm golden sunlight streamed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, Ning Xixi nestled in his arms, squinting and sleeping sweetly like a cat.
Ji Yebai looked at her peaceful face, thinking the phrase "May the times be calm and the world be stable," probably like this.
With a slight smile curling on his lips, he poked Ning Xixi’s soft cheek repeatedly, never tiring of it.
If it weren’t for the phone ringing, Ji Yebai felt he could keep poking all afternoon.
Seeing the caller ID, Ji Yebai’s expression darkened.
He pressed the answer button, a man’s urgent voice came through, also with a sobbing tone.
The more Ji Yebai listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, suddenly sitting up!
His movement startled Ning Xixi, who looked at him half-asleep, "What’s wrong?"
The room went silent for a few seconds, filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Ji Yebai leaned over and whispered solemnly in her ear, "Erxi, something happened to my brother."
Ning Xixi’s eyes widened, her sleepiness vanished!
"What happened..."
"There was an incident in Jiangcheng. He had a car accident on the way to Jiangcheng; his life and death are uncertain now..." He rasped out these words, "I need to go to Jiangcheng, don’t tell anyone else about this, mom and grandpa are not in good health..."
Ning Xixi nodded her head, "Mm!"
Ji Yebai stroked her head, "Don’t worry unnecessarily, stay at home, eat well, sleep well."
"Mm... You also be careful, Brother Yemo... he will definitely be alright!"
Ji Yebai quietly instructed, "Wait for me to come back, before New Year’s Eve, I will definitely return!"
Because on that day, he had important matters to attend to!
