Chapter 702: Twenty-six-year-old Pingping (Part 2)

Pingping came to Xixi's boudoir door and knocked twice.

"Come in."

Jin Xi thought it was her grandmother or mother coming to wake her up, so she hugged her sleeping doll and mumbled, "I want to sleep all morning today. I don't want to get up."

"Get up and have breakfast before going to bed."

Hearing the familiar male voice, Jin Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Why is it you?"

"Why are you here?"

Jin Xi was indescribably surprised to see him, but thinking that she was still angry with him, she tried hard to control the expression on her face and not let herself show happiness.

"Don't want to see me?"

"Then I'm leaving."

Pingping pretended to get up and leave, but Jinxi grabbed her wrist.

"It's obvious that you didn't want to see me. You knew I was going back home yesterday but you didn't come to pick me up."

Jin Xi felt a little aggrieved when he thought about not seeing him at the airport yesterday.

"You still dare to say that?"

"You were out for five whole years, and you only came back twice during those five years. Both times you came back when I was on a mission. You took advantage of the fact that I couldn't go abroad to catch you."

"I don't have any."

"We can bring Yan Baobao over to confront him, and then we'll know whether he has it or not."

The bag is the medium between the two people. If they want to know something about each other, they basically go through it.

"As soon as you came back, you brought a man to live in your house. Jin Xi, you are really great."

"He's just my classmate when I was studying abroad. He came to Beijing for an interview and he's unfamiliar with the place. I can't just leave him out there, and..."

"And what? And all the hotels at home and outside hotels are sold out, right?"

"It wasn't me who arranged this. My father made the decision. You can go talk to him!"

"So what if I let him live in my house? You are not my relative, so why do you control me?"

Jin Xi lay back on the bed and buried his face in the fluffy doll.

From the slight trembling of her body, Pingping knew that she was crying.

He was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Pingping stood by the bed, watching her trembling body, letting time stand still for two or three minutes. Finally, as if she had figured something out, she sat by the bed and helped Xixi, who was crying, to sit up.

I tore off two pieces of toilet paper from the bedside table and gently wiped her tears.

"You're already 25 or 26 years old, why are you still so crybaby like you were when you were a kid?"

"Never mind."

"Who do you want to be in charge of this? Your male classmate?"

"I want him to..."

The rest of the words were blocked in his mouth before he could finish them.

Both of them were inexperienced novices, and their kiss was completely based on instinct. When they separated, there was even a small cut on his flat lower lip, with blood dripping out.

"Jin Xiaoxi, are you a puppy? Why are you biting people?"

Jin Xi looked at his broken lips and felt so embarrassed that he wanted to run away.

"I...I'm going to wash up..."

She threw the tissue into Pingping's arms and hid in the bathroom without even having time to put on her slippers.

She stayed in there for a full half hour, and when she came out, Pingping was no longer in the room.

"You stinky man, you kissed me and then ran away!"

Pingping didn't run away. As soon as he went downstairs, Grandma Jin fed him a large bowl of wontons. After eating, he sat on the sofa in Jin's house and chatted with Yang Xiucheng.

"Comrade Yang, you also want to join the 973rd Hospital this time just like our Xixi, right?"

"Your family's Xixi? Who are you?"

Yang Xiucheng was not sure about his relationship with Jin Xi. He silently hoped that this person was Jin Xi's cousin who did not attend the party yesterday.

"I am Xixi's fiancé. This relationship has been determined since I was in the womb."

When Yang Xiucheng heard the word "fiancé", he felt like a piece of his heart was torn apart.

The man in front of me had a very strong aura, especially his eyes, which seemed to see through me.

He didn't know what the other person did for a living, but considering Jin Xi's family conditions and how much her family doted on her, the family that could arrange a marriage for her since she was young must be a good match.

"I often had dinner with Xixi when I was abroad, but I never heard her mention you."

"Maybe it's because you two aren't familiar with each other."

"......"

"What are you talking about?"

After packing up, Jin Xi came down from upstairs and saw Ping Ping chatting with Yang Xiucheng. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

From what she knew about Pingping, he was actually a very possessive and somewhat jealous person.

She still remembered that when they were little, they played house in the compound. Pingping never let anyone else be her groom. Once, her brother Tiaotiao had an argument with him over the position of groom, and he pinned the man to the ground and beat him up, so that her aunt took him to the Wu family to apologize.

"Just chatting."

"Jin Xi, we studied together abroad for five years, and I didn't even know you had such an outstanding fiancé."

"fiancé?"

"Yes, that's what the gentleman said, isn't it?"

Yang Xiucheng was eager to hear a negative answer from her.

"Pingping, you said you are my fiancé?"

The lie was known by the parties involved, but Pingping was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he stood up, put his arm around Xixi's shoulders and said with a smile: "Everyone in the compound, as well as our relatives and friends, have said that you are my wife since you were young. Uncle Kai also said a lot about the close relationship between our two families. So if you don't marry me, do you want to marry someone else?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to marry you if you haven't even proposed."

Xixi pulled his hand down from her shoulder, turned shyly and ran to the kitchen.

"Sorry, our Xixi is shy. By the way, where were we talking about just now?"

"Ah, never mind. I forgot where I was talking about."

When Yang Xiucheng saw Jin Xi's reaction, his heart completely sank.

He was deeply attracted to Jin Xi when he first saw her at the freshman orientation five years ago.

During the past five years, he had been silently protecting her. He had thought about confessing his love to her, but he was afraid of being rejected by her and that they wouldn't even be able to be friends.

It seems that before, now, and even in the future, their relationship will always remain at the level of friends.

"I hope you can bring her happiness."

"I will."

Pingping has also thought a lot during these five years.

Before, he was afraid that his job would make Xixi feel insecure, and that he would not be able to be with her when she needed him, so he did not dare to face his feelings for her and did not dare to take a step forward.

Just as Ms. Song said, he is an absolute coward.

It was not until yesterday when he received the text message from Bao Bao, in which he learned that she had brought a male classmate back home, that he lost his composure and wished he could return from the army immediately and drive away the man who had moved into her house.

When he thought that it would not be him standing by Xixi's side in the future, when he thought that her smiles in the future would be for others, when he thought that she would hug another man and call him husband, when he thought that she would give birth to children for someone else... when he thought about all the things that happened to her when she was with others, he couldn't control his urge to go crazy.

He admitted that he was selfish.

Because he found that he had no choice but to accept that Xixi was his, Yan Chengyao's wife.
