His suspicion made Ning Xixi feel humiliated; her eyes reddened with grievance, "Is it wrong to like you? Is liking you a crime? Is it an unforgivable sin? I just like you and want to be with you, even pretending to be your girlfriend makes me silly with joy. What's wrong with liking you? What's wrong?!"
She tilted her chin up, her delicate and bright face stubborn, her eyes moist as if washed with water, pure and untainted.
Ji Yebai stared at her blankly, his mind emptied, a void filled only with Ning Xixi's "I like you" echoing repeatedly in his ears!
I like you...
I like you!!
She actually said, I like you!!!
In a moment of stupor, overtaken by ecstatic joy, his lips parted slightly and he called softly, "Ning Xi..."
Ning Xixi pouted, "I did kiss you! Because I like you, I wanted to kiss you! And because I wanted to, I did kiss you!"
Her frankness was truly adorable.
