I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 701 The Furious Demon 2

Chapter 701: Chapter 701 The Furious Demon 2
"Erxi——" Ji Yebai searched through each floor and each room, continuously calling out Ning Xixi’s name.
At last, when he passed by the equipment room door, he heard a faint sobbing from inside, and his footsteps abruptly halted.
"Erxi, are you in there?" Ji Yebai asked with a trembling voice, and after a long wait, he heard Ning Xixi’s timid reply, "Dabai, is that you?"
That sound was like a wronged little animal whimpering, a heavy blow that sank deep into Ji Yebai’s heartstrings.
With a strong pang of pain, Ji Yebai could no longer care about anything else and kicked the door open——
It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the light, but Ji Yebai’s gaze instantly locked onto Ning Xixi in the corner.
Her clear eyes were brimming with a watery shine, like a serene autumn pond, shimmering as if tears could spill out any second. Her delicate and small body curled up into a ball, hugging her knees, with her shoulders uncontrollably trembling.
Ji Yebai took large strides over to her, got down on one knee, and embraced her in his arms, "I’m here now, Erxi, don’t be afraid."
Feeling the warmth from his body, Ning Xixi truly believed: He had come!
Her little hands tightly clung to his lean waist, and Ning Xixi buried her face in his chest, sobbing, "I... I didn’t want to cry, but I couldn’t help it..."
She was scared of the dark, truly terrified of it.
Whenever darkness fell, she would always recall that car accident.
Song Weiyang’s beautiful yet tragic smile in a pool of blood; she kept crying as blood clotted before her eyes, Song Weiyang’s face blurring more and more...
When she woke up again, she was temporarily blinded for a few days due to a head injury from the impact.
During those days, the entire world was dark, a despairing kind of black.
Her mother’s death, her father’s blame, her own panic... All weaving together, tearing her apart, an everlasting shadow she could never shake off.
"It’s okay... It’s okay to cry, Erxi... I won’t laugh at you..."
With his soothing deep voice, Ji Yebai gently patted her back.
Once the little girl’s emotions settled a bit, Ji Yebai took off his coat, gently put it on Ning Xixi, and lifted her in a princess carry, holding her sideways in his arms.
As the two left the laboratory building, Yan Yichen arrived with Jian Yixue in tow.
"Quickly take Xixi to the hospital!"
Ji Yebai took a deep breath, suppressing the urge that almost made him want to kill someone, and coldly said, "Bring the biology teacher here!"
"I’ll arrange it now." Yan Yichen’s voice was smooth and warm.
...
The poor biology teacher, halfway through their meal, was forcibly dragged to the hospital by a group of men in black!
Leaning against the wall, Ji Yebai stood tall with an intimidating aura, imperiously asked, "Who used your phone today?"
"Only myself..." the biology teacher recalled, eyes widening, "Oh, right, Shi Manyu borrowed my phone!"
Ji Yebai let out a cold laugh, looking towards Yan Yichen, "Yan Yichen, I intend to punish her, you have no objections, right?"
Yan Yichen gave a wry smile, "If it’s really her, do as you wish, I have no objections."
...
Shi Family.
Shi Manyu was watching a variety show in the living room when a maid came to : "Miss, Young Master Yan and Young Master Ji have arrived!"
Shi Manyu was overjoyed and turned to the door, sweetly asking, "Brother Yichen, Young Master Ji, what brings you here?"
Ji Yebai wore a cold smirk, "I am here to teach you a lesson on what is called—digging your own grave!"
