Chapter 117 - Chapter 117: Be With Me (2/2)

“Thank you.”

Xu Jiaojiao paused for a moment. She did not bring anything else, so she could not help but explain, “1 only found out too late at night… I didn’t know it was your birthday today, so I didn’t prepare any gifts for you. Don’t worry, 1 won’t forget your birthday next year.”

Xu Jiaojiao was very serious.

Instead of making up for the missed opportunity, it would be better for the two of them to look forward to next year’s birthday together.

Qi Shenbai put down his chopsticks and looked at her gently. “There’s no need for that.

“I’ve already received your gift.”

Xu Jiaojiao recalled the dance from earlier that night and felt a little embarrassed. “That dance was just to make you happy. It was embarrassing, wasn’t it? Why don’t you forget about it and pretend that it never happened? I…”

“I loved it very much.” Qi Shenbai interrupted her before she could finish.

“You did very well. You sang very well. 1 love everything about it.”

Qi Shenbai was not stingy with his praise at all. He gave her his heartfelt approval.

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head at his praise. Feeling a little embarrassed, she pursed her lips and smiled.

“Thank you. I hope you’ll always be this happy.”

“We both will.”

Qi Shenbai added, “I enjoyed your dance was very good, but don’t do it again.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s lips twitched as she stood rooted to the ground.

He did not like it at all, did he? Waah…

Qi Shenbai got up, picked up the bowl, and went to the kitchen to wash it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Jiaojiao lying on the sofa with a sad expression.

Qi Shenbai smiled gently and leaned over to whisper into her ear, “You were too illegally cute when you danced like that. Your boyfriend can’t hold himself back anymore.”

As the warm breath blew into her ear, Xu Jiaojiao felt her entire body go numb. She covered her head in embarrassment.

The next day, both of them went downstairs at the same time.

Xu Jiaojiao was wearing a white sweater and a coffee-colored dress.

Qi Shenbai frowned slightly. “Why are you wearing so little? Aren’t you cold?”

“Not at all.”

Qi Shenbai stared at her dress for the entire morning. In the end, he suggested that Xu Jiaojiao change into a pair of pants.

Initially, he did not want to interfere too much with her, but the weather today was really too cold. It was about to drop to zero degrees Celsius. Wouldn’t her legs freeze if she wore a dress?

“There’s no need to change it,” Xu Jiaojiao muttered softly, “Is it ugly?”

“It doesn’t matter if it looks good or not. Keeping warm is more important. You shouldn’t catch a cold.”

Xu Jiaojiao wanted to defend herself, “But I…”

“We’re running out of time. Change into your pants.”

After he finished speaking, Qi Shenbai did not give Xu Jiaojiao a chance to speak and pushed her upstairs..
