I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 722: Gave Him a Kick

Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Gave Him a Kick
Song Zhizhou withdrew his hand and declared proudly, "You were distracted, and my victory wouldn’t be honorable. Let’s call this one a draw."
Ning Xixi rushed over to Ji Yebai, who had been struck, her hands and feet all in a flurry, "Dabai, are you alright?"
An adorable and soft girl flung herself into his arms, and Ji Yebai patted her back gently, comforting her, "I’m fine, what’s wrong with you?"
Shyly, Ning Xixi admitted: "I accidentally took a fall... and landed on my butt..."
"Pig!" He teased with disdain, but his large hand kneaded her behind a couple of times, "Does it hurt much?"
Ning Xixi’s face flushed bright red, "It’s, it’s okay..."
Swoosh swoosh swoosh——
Several sharp glances like daggers were all pointed at Ji Yebai!
Ji Yebai cleared his throat and removed his hand from Ning Xixi’s bum.
Song Zhizhou approached with a cold face, and Ning Xixi hurriedly protected Ji Yebai behind her like a hen shielding her chick, nervously saying, "Brother Zhizhou, don’t hit Dabai anymore! He’s so smart, what if you hit him silly?"
Ji Yebai: "..." Honey, are you sure you’re not dissing me?
Song Zhizhou looked helplessly at Ning Xixi, "If you don’t like it, I won’t hit him again."
"Pinky promise! Let’s do a pinky promise!" Ning Xixi stretched out her delicate little hand.
Song Zhizhou raised an eyebrow, feeling slightly uncomfortable as he brought his pinky close to Ning Xixi.
"Pinky promise, hang a thousand-pound weight, don’t change for a hundred years..." Her voice, warm and sweet, almost melted his rugged heart.
Wow! My sister is holding my hand! Wow wow wow!
"I am returning to the military base." Song Zhizhou said tersely, pulling out a card from his wallet and placing it into Ning Xixi’s hand, his face stern, "Buy whatever you want, if it’s affordable, you can buy it, if not, your brother will work hard to earn money to buy it for you."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Ning Xixi, who never knew what it was like to have a brother, had tears brimming in her eyes, "Brother Zhizhou..."
"Take good care of her. If you dare to bully my precious sister, I will crush your bones one by one!" Song Zhizhou left these harsh words behind.
...
After Song Zhizhou left, Ning Xixi and the rest had lunch at the Song Family residence. After lunch, Ji Yebai played chess with Grandfather Song, and Ning Xixi learned traditional Chinese painting with Grandmother Song, while Song Zhiyang read quietly by their side.
Time leisurely passed, and with the company of family, everything was just perfect.
At night, when Ning Xixi and her companion were about to leave, Grandfather Song, concerned about keeping up appearances and not wanting others to see his reluctance, went back to his room with his cane.
"What’s wrong with Grandpa?" Ning Xixi asked puzzled.
With a kind smile and a hint of moisture in her eyes, Grandmother Song said, "He wants you to spend more time with him. All of you kids are constantly growing up, and we, the elderly... are constantly aging. Every time we meet, it may be the last."
A heavy feeling settled in her heart, and an inexplicable sadness.
Song Zhiyang said, "Alright, let’s not talk about such sad things. Come here, sister."
He handed a card to Ning Xixi, who was surprised and overwhelmed, "I’ve already taken one from Brother Zhizhou, I can’t take yours as well..."
Song Zhiyang gently smiled, "Can what he gives be the same as what I give? A girl needs money to feel confident. Remember, you are a child of the Song Family, you have family to back you up, don’t ever feel inferior!"
Casting a glance at Ji Yebai, he smiled as if basking in the warmth of spring, "Also, if this man doesn’t treat you well, feel free to kick him to the curb, your brother will take care of you."
