Who knew that Ji Yuning put the globe on the ground, then stood up. Perhaps her legs had gone numb from sitting for so long, because her legs even trembled a couple of times.
Fang Bai didn't dare blink. It was rare to see Ji Yuning lose her composure like this in real life, and she had to seize every second of the excitement.
Although Ji Yuning's expression remained indifferent, her every move was blank.
Fang Bai was secretly chuckling when she saw Ji Yuning reach out her hand and say, "Fang Bai, give me your hand."
Fang Bai's smile remained unchanged as he placed his hand on Ji Yuning's hand and asked softly, "What are you doing?"
As if afraid that Fang Bai would run away, Ji Yuning held her hand tightly. After making sure she had a firm grip, she said in a clear voice, "I'll take you on a round-the-world trip."
Chapter 98
Round-the-world travel?
Fang Bai stared blankly down at the globe at his feet, then his gaze shifted to the hands he was clasping with Ji Yuning's.
...Could it be what she's thinking?
The next second, Ji Yuning gave the answer.
She pulled Fang Bai along, taking small steps, and walked around the globe.
Round and round.
Fang Bai was being pulled along by Ji Yuning, and the flashlight beams swirled around the globe, making them appear like the moon in the dim, boundless space.
It wasn't until they had circled around three times that Fang Bai finally snapped out of this somewhat childish yet strangely romantic notion. Looking at Ji Yuning's profile, his expression was serious, even in the dim light.
A few seconds later, Fang Bai covered his mouth with his hand, and laughter leaked out from between his fingers.
His barely suppressed laughter was tinged with doting affection, and his voice was languid and gentle.
It makes people's hearts itch with excitement.
Ji Yuning paused, turning back to look at Fang Bai.
Fang Bai thought her laughter had disturbed Ji Yuning, so she smiled and said, "Sorry, Auntie just thinks it's a bit..."
For a moment, Fang Bai couldn't think of an adjective. When he met Ji Yuning's eyes, he said it himself: "Fun."
Fang Bai's eyes were curved in a smile, and Ji Yuning couldn't take her eyes off him.
Seeing that Ji Yuning was still staring at him, Fang Bai cleared his throat and said, "But this place is a bit small, we can't move around freely. Shall we go to a bigger place?"
Fang Bai softened his tone when speaking to Ji Yuning, who was drunk and behaving childishly.
Ji Yuning nodded obediently: "Mm."
With the little drunkard's permission, Fang Bai bent down to hug the globe, but someone else was faster and hugged it to their arms.
They held on tightly, as if afraid of being abandoned.
Fang Bai's smile faded slightly. She gripped Ji Yuning's hand and said as she stepped onto the stairs, "Watch your step."
As he spoke, Fang Bai shone most of the flashlight beam at Ji Yuning's feet.
She walked slowly, leading the people behind her to follow closely.
After Fang Bai unlocked the door, he opened it to let Ji Yuning go inside first, but Ji Yuning stood on the last step without moving.
The reason was easy to guess. Fang Bai's eyes flashed with helplessness as he recalled Ji Yuning's tightly clenched arms when she hugged the globe.
She snapped her fingers in front of Ji Yuning, "Didn't you say you forgave me?"
The voice was soft, completely different from the crisp sound of snapping fingers.
Ji Yuning relaxed her tightly pursed lips, stepped onto the stairs, looked at Fang Bai, and said, "Yes, I keep my word."
Who is being implied to be breaking their word?
Fang Bai knew that Ji Yuning did it unintentionally; it was just that she felt guilty and took the blame.
With a slightly awkward smile, Fang Bai said, "Xiao Ning is great."
What was meant to be a compliment turned Ji Yuning's beautiful face into a bitter expression upon hearing it.
Why did I think of bitter melon again?
Fang Bai was lost in thought when she heard Ji Yuning call her sternly, "Fang Bai."
"Hmm?" Fang Bai raised an eyelid and asked in confusion.
Ji Yuning frowned and said seriously, "Don't call me like a child!"
Why?
Was she being rejected?
When Fang Bai was puzzled, Ji Yuning said, "Call me Ji Yuning."
Fang Bai: "..."
Another gust of wind blew through the room. Fang Bai, holding onto the door, said patiently, "Okay, okay, Auntie understands."
The person in front of him remained unmoved.
Fang Bai waited two seconds, then said gently, "Ji Yuning, may I invite you into my home?"
The first three words sounded like magic, and the wooden stake moved upon hearing them.
Seeing that Ji Yuning knew to change her shoes after entering the house, Fang Bai became very curious about something and asked, "How much did you drink?"
He looks like he's drunk, but he doesn't quite seem so.
Ji Yuning stopped changing her shoes, thought for a few seconds, and said, "I don't know."
Only after saying that did he continue changing his shoes.
After changing her shoes, Ji Yuning stood upright in place, holding the globe.
Fang Bai stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, indicating that she should follow him.
The two walked to the sofa one after the other, and Fang Bai asked, "What did you drink?"
Ji Yuning thought for a moment: "Baijiu (Chinese liquor)."
When Fang Bai turned to look at her, Ji Yuning added, "It's very spicy."
Fang Bai pulled Ji Yuning to sit on the sofa, "Still drinking spicy food?"
Ji Yuning frowned again, this time out of doubt. She asked Fang Bai, "You don't like it?"
Fang Bai was pouring water for Ji Yuning. Not thinking about why Ji Yuning asked her, she said directly, "Of course, I can't drink it. I only like it sweet."
Fang Bai found the hangover medicine that Ji Yuning had bought for her before, and handed it to Ji Yuning along with water, saying, "Take this."
Ji Yuning looked down at the medicine in Fang Bai's hand and did not take it.
Fang Bai thought Ji Yuning didn't want to eat, so he raised his hand and gently persuaded, "Eating this will make you feel better, otherwise tomorrow..."
My head hurts.
The conversation abruptly stopped.
Fang Bai's lips parted slightly, looking at Ji Yuning with a hint of surprise. (H Wen Daily Update 871683155)
Ji Yuning didn't reach out to take the medicine, because she lowered her head and used Fang Bai's hand to swallow the hangover medicine.
Fang Bai first felt Ji Yuning's nose touch her hand, followed by Ji Yuning's lips. Her soft lips pressed against her skin, like rose petals falling on the water.
There were two pills, and Ji Yuning took them one by one. For the first pill, Ji Yuning put the pill into her mouth with her lips. As her lips opened and closed, Fang Bai felt a tickling sensation in his palm.
As she ate the second one, Ji Yuning suddenly lifted her eyelids and stared intently at Fang Bai.
Fang Bai was watching Ji Yuning take her medicine, and as Ji Yuning did so, their eyes met.
After making eye contact for two seconds, Ji Yuning looked away.
Fang Bai's gaze fell on the top of Ji Yuning's head. Looking at her dark hair, Fang Bai wondered why Ji Yuning was suddenly looking at her.
Before long, she was forced to divert her attention, the itching in her palms intensified, and even her body felt a tingling sensation.
Fang Bai lowered his eyes and saw—
Ji Yuning used the tip of her tongue to lick the medicine.
A moist tongue brushed across her palm, leaving barely visible watermarks. Fang Bai instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but Ji Yuning hadn't taken her medicine yet. She could only endure the tingling sensation in her chest and say in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Ning, open your mouth and I'll feed you."
Ji Yuning refused, saying, "I can eat it."
On her third attempt, Ji Yuning licked the medicine with her tongue and pressed it against her lips, successfully putting the medicine in her mouth. She glanced at Fang Bai and whispered, "I got it."
The girl's eyes were clear, and her brows were full of seriousness, as if she were playing a game when she took the medicine. The moment she successfully took it, a smile appeared in her calm eyes.
Fang Baixin jumped suddenly, the tingling sensation continuing to disturb her nerves, causing her cheeks to feel faintly hot.
Somewhat flustered, Fang Bai pushed the water towards Ji Yuning, licked his lips, and turned to pour himself a glass of water.
After drinking the cool water, the restlessness in his body was calmed down. Fang Bai glanced at Ji Yuning and saw that she was holding a cup. Because she was holding a globe in her arms, it was not very convenient for her to drink water. She was leaning forward and taking small sips.
It doesn't look right no matter how you look at it.
Fang Bai said, "Put it down."
Ji Yuning put down her cup.
"..." Fang Bai pointed to the blue sphere in her arms and said, "I'm talking about this."
Ji Yuning looked down at the object she was holding, then looked at Fang Bai, "Aren't you going on your trip?"
There was a certain expectation in her dark eyes, but Fang Bai didn't notice it; she thought Ji Yuning wanted to continue.
Fang Bai's first reaction was to stop the activity, but the thought vanished in an instant.
She said she wouldn't lie to Ji Yuning.
She managed to coax Ji Yuning back by finding a larger venue, and she couldn't break her promise.
Moreover, this side of Ji Yuning is truly rare, and she wanted to spend more time with her.
