Chapter 85
“Where could I possibly go?”
Ji Yuning couldn’t say.
Anyway, not to her side.
The expression on Ji Yuning’s face was faint, the heat in her eyes receding. She said softly, “It’s good you didn’t leave.”
Fang Bai sniffed, not knowing how to coax a child. Her brown eyes swiveled. “How about I give you my passport?”
Knowing it was impossible, Ji Yuning’s arms still loosened slightly. “Can you?”
Fang Bai tapped Ji Yuning’s forehead again. “Just kidding.”
Then she withdrew her hand and said softly, “Just like you tricked me last night.”
Although she had been tricked, Ji Yuning’s mood inexplicably improved.
Looking at the triumphant smile on Fang Bai’s face, she deliberately asked, “Does Auntie mean that as long as I call, you’ll give me your passport?”
Fang Bai paused, thinking, what kind of idea is that? Then she shook her head and said, “Missed is missed, I won’t agree.”
Her tone was soft, like a child haggling over a price.
A faint smile appeared on Ji Yuning’s lips, her heart almost melting.
She slowly leaned towards Fang Bai and murmured in her ear like a spoiled child, “Then wait for me to come back.”
Fang Bai gently patted Ji Yuning’s back. “Still coming?”
The atmosphere stopped there.
Ji Yuning straightened up, meeting Fang Bai’s eyes. “Mmm.”
Her tone was slightly cold, but the smile on her lips didn’t diminish.
After a few seconds, Ji Yuning said clearly to Fang Bai, “Auntie, close your eyes.”
Fang Bai scrutinized her, unable to discern Ji Yuning’s intentions.
Sunlight shone through the glass onto Fang Bai, warm.
Fang Bai didn’t ask Ji Yuning what she wanted her to close her eyes for, just met Ji Yuning’s bottomless gaze before slowly closing her eyelids.
The warmth around her waist disappeared the moment her eyes closed.
But the person standing in front of her didn’t move. Fang Bai didn’t hear the sound of shoes rubbing against the floor.
After closing her eyes, her hearing seemed to sharpen. She could still hear the birds chirping, the sound of people talking downstairs, and… Ji Yuning’s breathing.
Ji Yuning’s face seemed to have gotten closer to her, because that breathing was right by her ear.
Very clear.
Fang Bai’s eyelashes trembled.
The next second, a coolness came from her neck, contrasting with the warmth given by the sunlight.
Icy cold, Fang Bai subconsciously opened her eyes.
Ji Yuning wasn’t by her face, but in the position she had been in before Fang Bai closed her eyes.
Fang Bai glanced at Ji Yuning and then looked down at the thing that had appeared on her neck.
It was a silver necklace.
A small ring pendant hung at her collarbone, the silver chain passing through the ring and hanging around her neck.
Fang Bai pinched the ring and murmured, “This is?”
Ji Yuning said, “A gift.”
Fang Bai reacted immediately, raising her eyes to look at Ji Yuning and asking, “Did you go out to buy this?”
Ji Yuning nodded. “Mmm.”
The old man’s stall was mobile. She had looked for a while near the scenic area, which was why it took a bit longer.
Warmth flowed through her heart. Fang Bai thought for a moment, this seemed to be the first time Ji Yuning had given her a gift?
The sunlight seemed to pass through her skin, warming Fang Bai’s heart as well.
Fang Bai couldn’t help but look down at the pendant in her hand. She examined it carefully and said casually, “Can this ring also be worn as a ring?”
As she spoke, Fang Bai’s finger passed through the ring.
After comparing, she found that without the silver chain, the size of the ring fit her finger perfectly.
The moment she saw Fang Bai’s finger pass through the ring, Ji Yuning’s breath hitched.
A few seconds later, Ji Yuning asked, holding her breath, “Do you like it?”
Fang Bai had already withdrawn her finger from the ring. The ring really looked like a ring. Although the workmanship wasn’t very exquisite, its style was pretty good, the kind Fang Bai liked.
Fang Bai nodded, smiling gently. “It’s very beautiful.”
Ji Yuning’s brow smoothed out, and she said faintly, “While I’m gone these few days, will Auntie wear it?”
Fang Bai raised an eyebrow. “Guardian charm?”
Ji Yuning didn’t understand what Fang Bai was saying, but she understood the first two words.
Then let the ring protect her in her stead.
Ji Yuning said in a deep voice, “Mmm.”
Fang Bai took her hand away from the necklace and said, “Okay.”
The two came out of the kitchen. Fang Bai asked Ji Yuning as they walked, “Do you need to pack your luggage? Auntie will help you.”
Ji Yuning shook her head. She didn’t have much luggage. Besides some daily necessities, she wore Fang Bai’s clothes, and since she would be back, there was no need to take them.
Fang Bai also thought of this situation and paused for a moment before suggesting, “Then you rest for a while?”
The journey was too long; it was best to maintain a good mental state.
Ji Yuning hummed in agreement and took Fang Bai’s hand, saying softly, “Auntie, will you accompany me?”
Fang Bai didn’t think too much. “Sure.”
