I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 796 I Am by Your Side

Chapter 796: Chapter 796 I Am by Your Side
Bathed in the serene moonlight, Ji Yebai saw her eyes reddened like a rabbit’s, and the flare that had just risen in him diminished instantly.
All pride, young master’s temper, and masculinity vanished in a second.
His voice softened: "Erxi, don’t sulk alone, you’ve said it before, two people should be honest with each other, let me explain it properly, don’t be mad, it pains me."
Ning Xixi rubbed her eyes, holding back all her tears.
"I won’t listen!"
Was the little girl throwing a tantrum at him? Ji Yebai felt a bit helpless, yet found this side of Ning Xixi foolishly cute.
"I really have no interest in her."
Ning Xixi covered her ears, "Not listening, not listening."
Ji Yebai pried her little hands away and held them in his palm, his dark, ink-like eyes gazed at her, seeming to be filled with stars.
"I must have been drugged, I had a constant headache, and when we returned to our tent, Xu Liuli was standing in front of it, telling me it was her and Wen Sinian’s tent. At that time, I wasn’t very lucid, so I went to another tent and fell asleep straight away. When I opened my eyes, I heard Xu Liuli crying underneath me. I swear to god, I didn’t even touch her!"
He patiently explained, Ning Xixi’s eyes widened in concern, "Are you alright? Does your head still hurt?"
Ji Yebai smiled: "Worried about me? Hmm?"
Ning Xixi realised, and with a swish, withdrew her hand, "Who’s worried about you! Humph."
"Do you believe me now?" he asked.
"Whether I believe or not, what does it matter." Ning Xixi tilted her delicate chin, "Anyway, I’m just a fool, a fool doesn’t understand much."
Ji Yebai couldn’t help but laugh, was it because he called her a fool that she got angry?
"You, you..." Raising his hand as if to tap her forehead, when he got close, he couldn’t bear to do it and ended up stroking her smooth, black hair instead.
"Let’s head back to the camp." Ning Xixi walked ahead, and suddenly, a pair of big hands clasped her small ones.
His deep voice, accompanied by the gentle night breeze, brushed over her.
"I am by your side."
Five words, striking directly into Ning Xixi’s heart, enveloped with warmth.
She had slight night blindness, in dim light, she couldn’t see clearly. Ji Yebai was the only person in the world who knew this.
Just now, when she ran over, it was dark all around, and she stumbled over in fear.
But now... she felt no fear at all. She lowered her gaze and saw Ji Yebai’s long, strong fingers, a slight smile forming on her lips.
...
When the two returned, Wen Sinian and Xu Liuli had left.
Apparently, Wen Sinian had called the Wen Family, and they sent a helicopter to pick them up.
In Ning Xixi’s heart, the suspicion towards Xu Liuli being Dong Yingluo began to germinate...
Everyone bid each other goodnight and returned to their tents.
To take care of Jian Yixue, Cheng Youran ignored Xiao Xichen, who was eagerly looking at her, and shared a tent with her.
Xiao Xichen, feeling downhearted, went to sleep in another tent with Yan Yichen.
Ning Xixi wanted to go sleep with Cheng Youran, but Ji Yebai forcibly pulled her into the tent, asserting dominantly, "You’re sleeping here!"
"What if I don’t?" she said defiantly.
Ji Yebai smiled, "Then I’ll have to personally make you understand the meaning of the phrase—drunken misconduct!"
