She hummed softly, "You're going to strangle me to death, Auntie."
After saying that, Fang Bai grabbed Ji Yuning's arm and tried to pull the arm around her waist away, but to no avail.
She forgot that Ji Yuning was stronger than her.
As he did these things, Fang Bai once again felt the softness pressing against her chest.
Clearing his throat slightly awkwardly, Fang Bai looked at the person in front of him whose complexion wasn't very good and said with a gentle smile, "Oh dear, Auntie was just teasing you, why did you take it seriously?"
Fang Bai stretched again, but still couldn't break free from Ji Yuning.
Actually, Fang Bai wanted to create distance as quickly as possible, not because his waist was being constricted, but because—could you please stop sticking to me!
Fang Bai licked his lips and said to Ji Yuning in a serious tone, "Auntie only has you in her heart."
Without Ji Yuning even asking, Fang Bai confirmed, "It's true."
“I believe Auntie,” Ji Yuning said.
Fang Bai nodded haphazardly twice: "Just trust me."
He repeated the action from before, this time using only a little force, and she easily pulled her arms away from her waist.
“…”
childish!
Fang Bai took a step back, tidied his hair, and said, "I'm going to wash up first."
She didn't want to get entangled with Ji Yuning anymore.
Before Ji Yuning could respond, Fang Bai turned and walked out, but just as she was about to reach the door, she heard Ji Yuning call out to her, "Auntie."
Fang Bai stopped in his tracks and turned to ask, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yuning was in a good mood, her lips curled up, and her tone was also smiling as she asked, "Can I borrow Auntie's clothes?"
Looking at Ji Yuning's pajamas, Fang Bai said generously, "Wear whatever you like."
After saying that, Fang Bai left the bedroom.
The wardrobe was in the room. After Fang Bai left, Ji Yuning walked to the wardrobe.
Upon opening it, I found that there were mostly skirts inside, hanging on the upper layer along with short-sleeved shirts, while pants were neatly folded on the lower layer.
Ji Yuning's first choice was to pair a short-sleeved shirt with pants.
Fang Bai and her clothes were both to Ji Yuning's liking, so Ji Yuning didn't do much choosing. She casually picked up a short-sleeved shirt and then bent down to pick up her pants.
As she reached for the pants, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something bulging out of the corner of her eye, seemingly hidden among the pile of pants.
"..."
When Fang Bai went to the bathroom, he found that the toothpaste had already been squeezed out.
While brushing her teeth, Fang Bai's eyes were fixed on the disposable paper cup next to her toothbrush cup. There were only spare toothbrushes at home, not extra toothbrush cups, so Fang Bai had found this for Ji Yuning to use last night.
This would normally be a perfectly ordinary thing, but thinking about it, the other party is Ji Yuning.
The female lead is a future CEO worth hundreds of millions. It's quite strange that he made her brush her teeth with a paper cup and she even made him breakfast.
After washing up, Fang Bai came out of the bathroom and saw Ji Yuning sitting at the dining table, chatting with someone on her phone.
Hearing the noise, Ji Yuning turned to look at her and said, "The food is getting cold, come and eat."
"Okay." Fang Bai replied, glancing at Ji Yuning's clothes.
The light green long dress makes her skin look very fair.
Fang Bai rested her chin on her hand and said softly, "It fits you very well, and looks much better than what Auntie wears."
This was a sincere statement from Fang Bai; he wasn't deliberately flattering Ji Yuning.
Young people should wear brighter colors, but Ji Yuning usually only wears gray and white.
I changed the color today, and it's very pleasing to the eye.
Ji Yuning lowered her head and ate her food, saying, "No, you look good in it."
Fang Bai smiled.
After a few seconds of silence above the dining table, considering that Ji Yuning was changing clothes, Fang Bai tentatively asked, "Are you going out?"
"Okay," Ji Yuning said, "Let's go buy some daily necessities."
Daily necessities?
Are you planning to stay for a few more days or an extended stay?
Chapter 80
Fang Bai raised his eyes slightly and looked at the person across the table.
Her undyed hair was jet black and straight, and the black hair and green dress made her skin appear even whiter.
His expression was aloof, devoid of any extra emotion, making him seem unapproachable.
Just minutes before, this unapproachable person was holding her and...acting coquettishly in her arms.
Fang Bai paused for a moment. "Could this be considered acting cute?"
Although Ji Yuning didn't use any coquettish tone when she spoke, the hands around her waist eventually tightened firmly, the only soft spot...
Fang Bai glanced down, then quickly looked away; it was best to forget about such things as soon as possible.
Whether or not she acts coquettishly is irrelevant; what matters more right now is what Ji Yuning is thinking.
Fang Bai silently took a sip of the porridge. The rice was cooked until it blossomed and was soft and sticky, and the consistency of the porridge was just right.
The key point is that the porridge is very sweet.
It seems like they added white sugar.
Her curled eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and a sweet taste blossomed in her mouth.
Once the sweetness had lessened, Fang Bai put down his spoon.
She looked up, wanting to speak to Ji Yuning, only to find that the other person was looking at her.
Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke for a long time.
Ji Yuning could tell that Fang Bai had something to ask, so she waited for him to speak. Fang Bai, however, was considering whether she should ask, his lips moving but the words stuck in his throat.
The chirping of birds was unusually loud in the quiet environment.
As if drawn by the birdsong, Fang Bai turned to look out the window.
As a result, her view was blocked by the building, and she could only see a little bit of blue sky, but no birds were in sight.
Fang Bai lowered her eyes, and when she lifted her eyelids again, she looked at Ji Yuning.
The birdsong stopped at that moment.
Ji Yuning asked proactively, "Is it sweet?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Bai asked at the same time, "When are you leaving?"
Another silence followed.
Fang Bai guessed that Ji Yuning had deliberately put the candy in for her, but she didn't expect Ji Yuning to ask her about it. Compared to her question, Fang Bai pulled her arm on the table closer together and said softly, "Sweet."
Licking his lips, Fang Bai added, "However, I've been controlling my sugar intake for a while now."
Before controlling her sugar intake, she had already been trying to avoid eating sugar or other sweet foods, fearing that quitting smoking would turn her into a sweet addict. However, she would occasionally eat a little when she was in a bad mood, using the sweetness to soothe her emotions.
But it's been a long time since I've had it.
"Um."
Ji Yuning kept her head down, not sure if it was because of Fang Bai's changed taste or because of Fang Bai himself, she wasn't very interested.
Seeing this, Fang Bai opened his mouth as if to say something, but his attention was drawn away by the continuous message notifications.
New WeChat messages kept popping up.
Fang Bai glanced at Ji Yuning, whose head was down and whose facial expression was not visible.
The notification sound was still ringing, even more chattering than the birdsong from before.
Fang Bai had no choice but to pick up his phone and check.
As expected, the message came from Hao Xiaoniao.
Hao Yingman: [Who is it?!]
Hao Yingman: [We agreed to stay single together, but you quietly found someone?]
Hao Yingman: [But if you're not leaving because of her, then I should thank her. When will you bring her out to meet us?]
Having received no reply from Fang Bai, Hao Yingman paved the way for herself.
Hao Yingman: [It's fine if we don't meet. To make up for my hurt feelings, come with me to a banquet in a few days, and I'll forgive you immediately.]
Hao Yingman: [It's from FJ. Their company will send someone over next week.]
Fang Bai: [We'll talk about it later.]
Fang Bai noticed that after she picked up her phone, the person who had been looking down raised their head and stared at her.
She wanted to sort things out with Ji Yuning first before returning to Hao Yingman.
Just as Fang Bai was about to exit the chat interface, Hao Yingman sent a new message.
The content forced Fang Bai to reply to her first.
Hao Yingman: [What? Didn't you do enough last night?]
Fang Bai: [...]
Fang Bai explained: [It's a friend's child.]
