Watching her own childhood sweetheart act all cute and foolish, Ji Yebai's lips slightly curled into an imperceptible smile.
This little dummy...
She blurts everything out and then tells people "not to listen"?
He raised an eyebrow: "Since you like me so much, I don't mind turning our pretend play into the real deal."
What?
Ning Xixi took a few steps back as if she had been startled, her shock, questioning, and unease hiding a tiny bit of joy.
But that joy felt so unreal to her, before the bubbles of happiness could rise, she slapped them down herself.
"I'm sorry, the like I was talking about is the like for a friend, for childhood friends, you didn't misunderstand me, right?" Ning Xixi explained bashfully, her gaze flitting about.
Her face was tinged pink as she poked her fingertips together, inching awkwardly toward Ji Yebai and asked timidly, "You're not mad, are you?"
"Do you want me to be mad?" Ji Yebai retorted haughtily.
