Chapter 20 The Vase Being ‘Keeped’ (19)



I don’t know if it was out of shame or annoyance, but Ji Xianbai’s tone was particularly harsh.

"You're mean to me..."

Drunk people really can't be reasoned with.

The girl's beautiful eyes were like a floodgate that had been opened, filled with tears, and she was sobbing softly, looking so pitiful.

Ji Xianbai was no longer angry when she cried. He was very depressed and secretly made up his mind not to comfort her.

He wanted to let her know the importance of this matter, but the girl's suppressed crying like a kitten was like claws scratching his heart.

A small hand tentatively took one of his feet:

"If even you don't want me, then I really have no relatives, um-"

The girl cried for a long time and started to sob. No one could bear to be cruel. Ji Xianbai could only coax her softly:

"I'm not giving up on you, dear. Who would be willing to give up on Xiao Yu?"

Ji Xianbai had always seen Qiao Yu as proud and flamboyant. Even when she was scolded by the director, she hid secretly. He had never seen her look so pitiful.

When he thought of the person who bullied Qiao Yu, he couldn't help but tear that person to pieces.

Ji Xianbai suddenly felt that he was a little bit possessed, but he kept telling himself that he was just standing up for his friend, just a friend...

After coaxing the girl for a long time, she probably fell asleep again because she was tired from crying. Ji Xianbai looked at the windshield wipers on the car window. How could it be like this after just a few hours?

Without thinking, Ji Xianbai knew that Qiao Yu's unreliable father must have done something that disappointed Qiao Yu, which was why she was crying so sadly.

(Lin Unreliable Dad???)

When they arrived downstairs in the community, Ji Xianbai woke up Qiao Yu and asked her for the key.

The little girl smiled foolishly, looking very worthy of a beating:

"Keys? Oh~ I think I left them in that old man's car."

Old man? Ji Xianbai sighed helplessly. He didn't even call me dad anymore. This must be a big deal.

"Do you remember the password downstairs?"

“000000.”

Unexpectedly, the girl answered obediently, but the password was wrong, and Qiao Yu said that he missed a 0.

Ji Xianbai kept trying the wrong password over and over again, and his face was filled with black lines. As expected, the girl broke away from him, walked a few steps away, and started laughing breathlessly:

"Hahaha, Dabai is such a good liar!"

Qiao Yu's voice was quite loud and he had entered the password incorrectly several times just now. If this continued, he would have to call security over.

Seeing that the drunk Qiao Yu was about to run away, Ji Xianbai strode over and tried to cover her mouth. If the security guard was called in, he would be on the headlines in the community tomorrow.

Qiao Yu felt uncomfortable with being covered, and whimpering twice was of no avail, so she stuck out her tongue and licked Ji Xianbai's palm.

Ji Xianbai was so frightened that he almost pushed Qiao Yu away, but he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and his warning voice became a little hoarse:

"Lin Yu will wait until you wake up and then settle the score with you!"

I had no choice but to take her back home. I couldn't just leave a young girl downstairs. Luckily, her house was quite big, with three bedrooms and a living room. (One person living in a three-bedroom apartment, running?)

After saying that, Ji Xianbai lifted Qiao Yu onto his shoulders and stopped talking to the drunkard, reciting the Diamond Sutra in his mind.

Qiao Yu almost couldn't help vomiting during the bumpy ride. If she hadn't been so noisy, Ji Xianbai wouldn't have been so resistant to her.

It was difficult to put the girl in the guest room. The girl who stopped crying looked like an angel. Thinking that Qiao Yu should be asleep by now, he carefully closed the door and left.

Ji Xianbai had just finished taking a shower and came to the living room to get some water when he heard the faint suppressed crying. The room was so quiet that he wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.

"Xiao Yu...are you feeling unwell?"

He came in with some water and saw the girl curled up in the corner of the bed. Ji Xianbai walked over and just put the water on the bedside table when he was hugged by Qiao Yu.

Just as Ji Xianbai was about to push her away, he heard her sobbing pitifully:

"I thought I was alone again. Daddy loved Mommy so much. I even saw him secretly crying when Mommy passed away. How come a woman suddenly appeared and asked me to call her Mommy..."

(Dad Lin: No, I didn’t. I just asked you to call me Auntie.)

Ji Xianbai's hand froze in the air, and then he patted his shoulder comfortingly.

In the past, he was always surprised that many of Qiao Yu's hobbies were similar to his own, but in this case, he didn't want such a coincidence.

Perhaps it’s easy for people who are hurt to empathize with each other. Ji Xianbai felt even more sorry for Qiao Yu, and patted her back gently as if to coax his three-year-old nephew:

"I won't leave you."

It was unclear whether he was speaking to Qiao Yu or to himself.

Sure enough, Qiao Yu stopped sobbing after hearing this, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes. She stared at Ji Xianbai with her big eyes as if seeking confirmation.

Childishness is not cute, which made Ji Xianbai laugh and say again:

"Really, I won't leave..."

Before he could finish his words, he was blocked by the girl's tender red lips. The dragonfly-like kiss made Ji Xianbai's blood freeze. He was bewitched and couldn't help but deepen the kiss.

Ji Xianbai knew that Qiao Yu's love for him was simply that of a senior and a friend. Her love was more like a drowning person grabbing onto duckweed.

He knew it was wrong and that he should push Qiao Yu away, but he couldn't stop.

It was not until Ji Xianbai's hand unbuttoned the first button on Qiao Yu's chest that he suddenly realized it, pushed Qiao Yu away, and slapped himself hard.

Then he kept apologizing and helped Qiao Yu put on her clothes, and then fled in a hurry.

Qiao Yu, who was enjoying herself, was suddenly pushed away and left in the room. She was so angry that she thought Ji Xianbai might not be able to do it.

But on second thought, it made sense. She didn't want Ji Xianbai to succeed in the first place, but she didn't allow anyone to push her away in bed.
