He Jumped Off the Snow Cliff to Save a Child

I apologize for missing those Chinese words. Here is the complete properly translated chapter with ALL Chinese words translated:

—

Xie Yaoyao had deliberately taken Peng Fei a bit farther away, away from the other guests.

But that cameraman uncle was still following him.

What was this uncle doing?

Xie Yaoyao sighed maturely and ignored him.
So his conversation with Peng Fei was broadcast live.

[“Ultraman: Thank you. I never thought I’d be valued this highly. doge”]

[“Dying of laughter. So my little brother is worth billions.”]

[“CEO (x), CEO baby (√)”]

[“Help, I’m really going to die laughing. Should I say it or not, he really is the film emperor’s kid. I’m impressed by this acting.”]

Xie Yaoyao was acting exactly like the TV show from yesterday.
He even knew to take the person aside privately, so Ning Shixue wouldn’t hear.
But he didn’t imitate the evil mother-in-law’s tone.
He imitated the tone Big Daddy used in meetings.

The assistant director had been watching the live stream.
He almost laughed himself sick.
He quickly found someone to tell the director.

Xie Yaoyao the Great Demon King hadn’t finished negotiating with the little black pig monster yet.
The little black pig had taken his one billion and just stood there with a dark face, motionless.
He hadn’t agreed to leave the baby.

Then he looked up.
The director uncle, the other guests, and even Ning Shixue had all come over.

The director showed the guests the video.
He Lin, a famous director, laughed so hard he almost kneeled and pounded the floor.

Even Yan Ting laughed until tears came.
Then, feeling it wasn’t very reserved, he turned and hid a little behind Tang He’an.

Ning Shixue: “…”

Ning Shixue: “Pfft.”

Ning Shixue’s pale cheeks flushed slightly.
As the person involved, his toes curled with embarrassment.

But this was just too funny.

Ning Shixue couldn’t remember the last time he laughed until his stomach hurt.
He crouched down and hugged Xie Yaoyao.

Xie Yaoyao’s fair, tender cheeks puffed up like a little bun.
His little mouth was also pursed.
He had no idea what these people were laughing at.
The little black pig monster was trying to take the baby away.
This was so scary.

He felt they were all laughing at him.
Even the baby was laughing at him.
Why was it like this?

Xie Yaoyao’s little face looked wronged.

Ning Shixue was still crouching, holding him and gently rocking him.
“Xie Xingxing, what did you just say? Can you say it again?”

Although it was a bit mean, if he didn’t hear a live version, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Xie Yaoyao leaned crookedly in his arms.
His soft, little face was full of confusion.
The director and the others were all laughing.
He was a bit unhappy about that at first.
But the baby was also laughing.
And the baby was acting cute with him.

He wiggled his little bottom, his eyes sparkling.
He pattered over to Peng Fei, took out that Ultraman card, and slapped it into his palm again.
His milky voice was just as serious.
“Here’s one billion. Leave my baba!”

Peng Fei: “…”

Peng Fei’s face turned green.
Only he was hurt.
Everyone else was so happy.

[“Hahahahahahahahaha.”]

[“Dying of laughter. Encore.”]

[“Wait, isn’t this guy the captain of the ice hockey team? Why did Xie Yaoyao want him to leave the baby?”]

The original host had indeed been dramatic and wild.
Even some haters in the bullet comments started to suspect that Ning Shixue might cheat.

Until someone refuted them.

[“Even haters can’t be this ridiculous. Are you sure you’re not a plant? You’d leave Xie Zhaozhou for a guy like this? That would really make me question your mental state.”]

[“??? Did Ningning run into this guy when he went to the ice rink with Mu Yuan yesterday?”]

[“I’m from the northern city. I went to the same high school as Peng Fei. This guy is just a player. He also likes to get handsy.”]

Peng Fei had a decent face and was the captain of the ice hockey team.
He had even participated in international competitions several times.
His name was still on the school’s honor wall.
Many people knew him.

But many people also knew about his messy private life.

[“Holy crap, he didn’t try to hit on my wife, did he?! Do you believe I’ll drive a sleigh over right now and run you over???”]

[“Did wifey get bullied???”]

[“Help, can you spare me some of this confidence? How dare he try to hit on Ning Shixue?”]

What the bullet comments were saying wasn’t just rumors.
Although Peng Fei couldn’t see them, he was already embarrassed enough.
He cursed this little brat in his heart.

He had thought about having a one-night stand with Ning Shixue.
Ning Shixue had drunk a little last night.
What would it matter if they went to a hotel?
But once he knew Ning Shixue was married, he didn’t bother him anymore, right?

Although he was still a bit unwilling at the time.
It was Xie Yaoyao calling him ‘uncle’ that made him leave angrily.

The director’s palms were sweating.
He hadn’t expected to find someone like this.
He had actually harassed their guest.

This guy really knew how to pick them.
He went straight for the one not to be messed with.

He had just temporarily found Peng Fei, paying him for one day.
But there was no contract.
Now that Peng Fei wanted to leave, the director was very annoyed.
He didn’t want to keep him either and simply let him go.

It was too late to find anyone else now.
In the end, it was still just Mu Yuan taking them to the snowy mountain.

The program team had arranged a tour bus.
As soon as they got on, it started snowing again.

On the bus, Ning Shixue received a message from Xie Zhaozhou.
It said there was an emergency shareholder meeting he had to attend at the company.
He was at the airport now, flying to Yan City.

– [. : Should be back a bit later to find you.]

That was fine.
Anyway, he was so busy, he didn’t have to come.

But he pressed his lips together.
As soon as he said that, Xie Zhaozhou would probably…

Even though Xie Zhaozhou wasn’t there, his face was already heating up.
In the end, he just replied with an emoji.

After Ning Shixue replied, there was still over half an hour until they reached the foot of the snowy mountain.
Xie Yaoyao pulled the little blanket over himself, wanting to sleep some more.
Then he patted Ning Shixue.

Ning Shixue took out his phone and picked a bedtime story for him.

Ever since he started telling Xie Yaoyao bedtime stories, Xie Yaoyao would pester him for one every time before sleeping.
Ning Shixue really couldn’t think of any more, so he just downloaded an app.

He played it for him.

Xie Yaoyao lay on Ning Shixue’s arm, couldn’t help grumbling.

He wanted to hear the baby tell stories.
Not these strange uncles and aunties telling stories in high-pitched voices.

“Why you not tell me stories?”
Xie Yaoyao’s old bratty temper flared up again.
His little mouth puckered into a trumpet shape.

Who would have thought Ning Shixue also wrapped himself in a blanket and said with unassailable logic,
“I need to sleep too. If I tell you stories now, who will tell me a bedtime story?”

Huh, huh?

Xie Yaoyao’s little head was confused.
But he felt Ning Shixue seemed to have a point.

“Is there something wrong with what I said?”
Ning Shixue raised an eyebrow.

Xie Yaoyao was convinced.
Fine, let this auntie tell them stories.
He wanted to sleep with the baby.

[“I really want to know how he makes every unreasonable argument sound so reasonable. (just kidding)”]

[“What do you mean unreasonable argument? A twenty-something baby also needs bedtime stories!!!”]

When Ning Shixue and the others woke up, they were already at the snowy mountain.
Everything was white.
The director had the kids all wear brightly colored down jackets so they wouldn’t get lost.

This place was actually also a scenic area, adjacent to the ski resort.
But it was at a higher altitude.

There were also many entertainment facilities.
Cable cars for sightseeing, snow mobiles, and even several ski slopes.

Ski competitions were often held in the northern city.

Ning Shixue was wearing the most clothes and walked at the very back.
Xie Yaoyao and Ji Xiao walked hand in hand ahead of him.

Xie Yaoyao was soft and chubby, healthier than Ning Shixue.
The program team had come from Yan City to the northern city to film.
The temperature difference was too great.
He Miao had coughed a few times, but Xie Yaoyao had never gotten sick.

But Ji Xiao’s little face was pale from the cold.
His cotton shoes were stuck in the snow.
Xie Yaoyao was practically pulling him along.

Today, for some reason, his two little short legs were trembling.
He walked unsteadily.

“Little friends, there’s another task today,”
the director said, handing each kid a little bag.

They could be worn across the body.

Then he held a small red wild berry in his hand and said in a high-pitched voice,
“There are many of these little berries on the snowy mountain. Whoever picks the most gets a special reward today!”

This kind of berry grew low, so the kids could pick them too.
They were a bit sour to eat, but could be used in medicine.
Grandpa Mu often went to the snowy mountain to pick a bag and then sell them at the market.

What the kids picked today would also be given to Grandpa Mu.

Xie Yaoyao put the little bag across his body.
Then he turned around and found Ning Shixue didn’t have one.
He quickly called out to the director uncle,
“Baby, no baggy!”

How could they forget the baby?
This uncle was just as bad as the little black pig.

Ning Shixue: “…”

Thanks, but no thanks.

Ning Shixue refused, so the director didn’t give him one.
He didn’t forget to remind the kids,
“The road is very slippery. Be careful. If you can’t reach one, ask your daddy to help.”

They went to play on the ice slide.
Xie Yaoyao got stuck on the slide and didn’t want to leave.
No little kid could resist the temptation of a slide.

Until Ning Shixue, freezing, scared him by saying,
“I’m leaving. I’m really leaving.”

Only then did Xie Yaoyao hurry down.
“Baby, wait for me!”

Ning Shixue ducked into the program team’s bus to warm his hands.

Xie Yaoyao’s bag already had three little berries in it.
He toddled on his short legs and continued looking.

He Miao and Tang Haohao crouched together.
They found a dozen or so fallen on the ground.
But they were all in the middle of the bushes, and their hands couldn’t reach in.
They wanted to use little sticks to get them out.

“What kind of berry is this?”
He Miao held one in her little hand, tilting her head in confusion.

Tang Haohao said firmly,
“It’s hawthorn!”

He had taken a bite just now.
It was so sour it made his teeth hurt.
He gave the rest to Big Daddy.

Another filial day.

Xie Yaoyao went over to them, blinking his big, dark eyes.
Pointing at the tree, he said,
“Little squirrel!”

A small, grey-brown shadow flashed by.

He Miao propped her chin in her hands.
“Are these the little squirrel’s food? Do little squirrels eat berries?”

Tang Haohao was shocked.
He never thought little squirrels weren’t afraid of sour things.

“Then maybe we shouldn’t take its food,”
He Miao hesitated.
“What if the little squirrel gets hungry?”

They all unanimously decided to bury the berries back.

Xie Yaoyao and Ji Xiao made a few little snowballs.
Ji Xiao, bracing his little hands on his knees, slowly crouched down.
His little face scrunched up as he did so.
Then he placed the snowballs next to the berries.

Ning Shixue got off the bus and went to find his kid.
He couldn’t help asking,
“What are you doing?”

Xie Yaoyao brushed the snow off his little hands and said in his milky voice,
“We leaving, little squirrel, a mark.”

Otherwise, how would the little squirrel find the berries?

Ning Shixue: “…”

The little squirrel would thank you for that.

After lunch, they continued up the mountain.
Further up, they couldn’t drive.
They had to climb themselves.
This peak wasn’t high, and it wasn’t too cold at the top.
But there was a very famous scenic spot overlooking the frozen lake.

The frozen lake and snowy mountain complemented each other.
Especially at night, set against the clear moonlight, it was especially moving.

But they couldn’t stay until night.
It was too cold.
They could only go up now and take a look.

Halfway up, Ning Shixue suddenly felt the cold was getting wrong.

Mu Yuan also looked up.
The sky was still clear, but he frowned, went over to the director, and said,
“Director Meng, we can’t go any further. We need to go down.”

The director hesitated.
After all, they only needed ten more minutes to reach the filming location.
It wasn’t easy to come up here.
If they went down now, they probably wouldn’t have time to come back before leaving the northern city.

But Mu Yuan’s attitude was very firm.
The director had asked a local to come precisely because they weren’t familiar with the local climate.

“Okay,”
the director decided.
“We’re going down now.”

Ning Shixue was about to collapse.
His breathing was heavy.
He was too tired to carry Xie Yaoyao.

He Lin put Miaomiao down and took her hand, letting her follow him.
Then he turned to Ning Shixue.
“Xiao Ning, let me carry him for a while.”

Ning Shixue was indeed tired and didn’t stand on ceremony.
Then he helped He Lin hold Miaomiao’s hand.

He Miao was more than willing.
She had hardly ever held Little Ning Gege’s hand.
Little Ning Gege was just too shy.

Xie Yaoyao also obediently wrapped his arms around He Lin’s neck.

The director considered this was a parenting show.
Whether going up or down, this path was almost not steep.
Little kids could walk on their own too.
He Lin carrying Xie Yaoyao wasn’t particularly strenuous for a short while.

Ji Qing couldn’t carry Ji Xiao either.
He could only take his hand and let him follow.

They had only been going down for a few minutes when the sky clouded over.
It looked like it was going to snow.

The director had originally thought it would only take a few minutes to go up and film the frozen lake.
The guests could look at the scenery and come right down.
So he hadn’t brought many staff.

Otherwise, the road on the snowy mountain was hard to walk.
Too many people would just be a burden.

But now, going down with snow coming, the wind was biting.
Several people had to help carry the cameras.

There was no one to spare to help the guests carry the kids.

He Lin’s father couldn’t climb the mountain.
Yan Ting had gotten an urgent call and hadn’t come up with them either.

“Daddy, I can walk by myself,”
Tang Haohao said, watching He Miao stumble.

Tang He’an put him down, took his hand, and let him follow.
Then he went to help He Lin carry Miaomiao.

The sky was overcast now.
But the path wasn’t particularly hard to walk.
The kids were instead very excited.
They had never seen a snowy mountain like this.

He Miao, hugging Tang He’an’s neck, asked Xie Yaoyao,
“Yaoyao didi, how many berries did you pick?”

Xie Yaoyao spread his five soft, white fingers.
“I have, three oh.”

Ning Shixue couldn’t help folding two of them back.

He Miao also had three.
The rest they had left for the little squirrel.
Tang Haohao had the most, over a dozen.
Then Ji Xiao.
He had picked very diligently, only one less than Tang Haohao.

Ji Qing was freezing so hard he was shivering.
He had a spare pair of thick gloves.
He let go of Ji Xiao’s hand, letting him follow, and took out the gloves from his down jacket pocket to change into them.

Ji Xiao pressed his lips together.
He lowered his little head and touched his little bag.

If he had just a few more, they would be first.

Beside them was a snowy slope.
Several red little berries had rolled down onto the ground.
Ji Xiao stared at them for a few seconds and let go of Ji Qing’s clothes.

Ji Qing hadn’t finished putting on his gloves when he heard a sudden cry from the cameraman behind him.

He was stunned for a moment.
He turned his head sharply and saw Ji Xiao rolling down the snowy slope.

No one had time to react.
Ning Shixue had already bitten the fabric of his fingertips, taken off his gloves, and jumped down without hesitation.
He reached out and pulled Ji Xiao hard into his arms.
He protected his head and held him tight.
His feet desperately braced against the snow, trying to slow their fall.
Quickly, he grabbed onto a withered tree root on the slope.

Tang He’an had also been keeping an eye on the kids out of the corner of his eye.
But he had been a stunt double for so many years, and his physical reactions weren’t as fast as Ning Shixue’s.
By the time he was about to jump down, Ning Shixue had already caught Ji Xiao.

The sky grew darker and darker.
It started to snow lightly.
The director was so scared he shuddered, his legs instantly going weak.
He shouted angrily at the staff,
“Hurry up and go save them!”

A few hundred meters down this slope was the frozen lake.
People were ice fishing on it.
Many holes were drilled in the ice.
Whether they fell on the ice or into the lake, in temperatures tens of degrees below zero, it would be unimaginable.
People could really die.

The bullet comments were also shocked.

Actually, the slope wasn’t particularly steep.
With care, you could walk down slowly.
But rolling down would be very hard to stop.

Ning Shixue’s whole body was out of strength.
He could only ensure that he and Ji Xiao didn’t fall any further now.
Ji Xiao was motionless in his arms.
Ning Shixue frowned.

Tang He’an and a few staff members came down to get them.
Tang He’an firmly grabbed his wrist.
Only then did he let go.

His left hand had been hooked on the withered tree root.
Now, his fingers were cold and stiff, unable to bend at all.

Tang He’an had to pull him up completely.

Ji Xiao didn’t seem to have a head injury.
Just a scratch on his cheek.
Then he had been held tightly in Ning Shixue’s arms.
He had only fainted from the shock.

Several kids were scared and crying.
Xie Yaoyao was also shedding tears, reaching out his little hand wanting to hold him.

Ning Shixue put his left hand in his down jacket pocket.
He raised his right hand to wipe away Xie Yaoyao’s tears.
Then he told He Lin,
“Director He, can you hold him for me a bit longer?”

He Lin quickly agreed.
Ning Shixue’s face was extremely pale.
He Lin asked worriedly,
“Are you okay?”

Ning Shixue shook his head.

The director was busy calling an ambulance to send Ji Xiao to the hospital.
Seeing Ning Shixue, he also frantically asked,
“Teacher Ning, are you hurt?!”

He was still shaken.

If Ning Shixue got hurt, how would he explain it to Xie Zhaozhou?
He didn’t even dare think about it.

Ning Shixue shook his head again.
But he held out his left hand, which had been hidden in his down jacket pocket.
It was as pale as snow.
His knuckles were even a bit frostbitten and blue.
His palm was covered in blood, tracing down the bends of his fingers onto the snow.
Contrasted with his overly pale skin, it was a shocking sight.

A staff member nearby came over to help.
A scream got stuck in his throat.

Ning Shixue had been wearing a very thick pair of full-fingered gloves today.
They had no grip.
He had taken them off when he jumped.

But in this freezing place, the tree bark was cold and hard.
His palm and fingers were covered in wounds.

Now, there was no way to clean it.
The director could only quickly find someone to bandage Ning Shixue’s hand simply and then rush to the hospital.

Luckily, there was a hospital near the ski resort.
By the time they arrived, Ji Xiao had already woken up.
The doctors examined him and confirmed he only had a scratch on his face.
Nothing else was injured.

Ning Shixue was still in the operating room.
The nurse was cleaning his wounds.
He had Xie Yaoyao wait for him outside.

After the incident, the director had urgently paused the live stream.
After Ji Qing finished getting Ji Xiao checked out, Ji Xiao sat with He Lin and the others.
Ji Qing hurried off to call his agent.

His mind was blank.
He didn’t know why he was suddenly gripped by this immense panic.

This hospital wasn’t busy.
The corridor was quiet now.

Xie Yaoyao had stopped crying.
But Ji Xiao’s face was bandaged, and he was still crying.
Tears splashed onto the back of his hand.

“You also, stop crying,”
Xie Yaoyao found some tissues in his down jacket pocket and handed them to him.

If Little Mantou cried, he would become plain flour.
This was way too scary.
He wouldn’t even be edible anymore.

Xie Yaoyao stuffed the tissue into his hand.
Then he stuck out his little bottom and got off the chair.
He pressed himself against the operating room door, waiting for Ning Shixue.

Ning Shixue hadn’t let him see his hand.
Xie Yaoyao didn’t know he was hurt.
He thought he was inside getting checked out.

He would go for checkups with the butler grandpa too.
Several times a year.
He still remembered.

But why wouldn’t the baby let him in?

Ning Shixue’s hands were pale and slender.
It seemed fate wasn’t unkind to him.
No matter how bad his health was, having gotten sick several times on the show, he hadn’t wasted away to nothing.

But when you touched him, you felt nothing but bones.

The flesh of his palm was torn and turned outward.
By the time he reached the hospital, the bandage was already soaked with blood.
The nurse cleaned his wound and couldn’t help saying,
“It must hurt a bit. Bear with it.”

Ning Shixue was cold all over.
Half his face was buried in his scarf.
He looked a bit obedient.

He hummed in agreement.

Only then did the nurse start cleaning.
The deepest cut was almost down to the bone.
It would definitely need a few stitches.
His fingertips were also covered in small, dense cuts.
The nurse’s forehead was sweating.
But Ning Shixue remained completely silent.

His long, thick eyelashes drooped.
His pale, beautiful face had no color at all.

Only the corners of his eyes were red from the cold.

“If it hurts, you can say so,”
the nurse couldn’t help telling him.
“Then I’ll be gentler.”

She hadn’t been a nurse for long.
It was her first time dealing with this kind of wound.

“It’s fine,”
Ning Shixue’s tone was very light.
It calmed her nerves.

Her movements became more steady.

Actually, Ning Shixue did feel pain.
Outside, in the freezing cold, his hands had been numb.
He didn’t feel anything.
When he got to the hospital, as his blood started flowing, even his bones hurt.

But he was very used to this level of injury.
He couldn’t bring himself to be scared.
In the past, if bleeding weren’t such a bother, he wouldn’t even bother with a bandage.

After the cleaning, the doctor put two stitches in his palm.

The director arranged for a hospital room.
Ning Shixue and Ji Xiao would both stay overnight for observation.

This incident was serious.
No matter how much he wanted the show to be popular, he knew his limits.
The guests absolutely could not get hurt.

As Ning Shixue walked towards the hospital room, Xie Yaoyao rushed over and hugged his leg.
Seeing the bandage on his hand, his face instantly filled with grievance, on the verge of tears.
“Baby, what wrong?”

His big baby went to see the doctor perfectly fine and came out like this.

“You don’t know, do you?”
Ning Shixue wiggled his hand, making it up on the spot.
“This is Bandage Bunny.”

Bandage Bunny was a villain character in *Forest Bunny Police*.

Xie Yaoyao’s chubby face went blank again.

Ji Xiao followed behind them.

He didn’t dare walk next to Ning Shixue.
He just followed far behind them.

Ning Shixue waved to Ji Xiao.
Then he had Xie Yaoyao stay with He Lin and the others outside for a while.
He called Ji Xiao into the hospital room.

Ji Xiao’s eyes were still red.
He lowered his head, and tears fell again.
He raised his little hand to wipe them, but they wouldn’t stop.

Ning Shixue crouched down and asked him.
When he wasn’t cold, those peach blossom eyes seemed naturally very gentle.
It was quite deceptive.
“Can you tell me why you went over there just now?”

Ji Xiao wasn’t a bratty kid.
And he was really timid.
Sometimes, being timid was also a protection.
He would avoid a lot of danger by himself.

He also didn’t think Ji Xiao did it just for those few little berries.

Ji Xiao looked up.
His little face was tear-streaked.
He finally managed to stop crying.
His voice was a bit hoarse.

He clutched his clothes and said very quietly,
“…The little rabbit grew fangs, the swan’s song turned hoarse, the flowers in the forest withered. Do you still love it?”

Ning Shixue was stunned.

It was the first time Ji Xiao had spoken such a long sentence.

Ning Shixue remembered this seemed to be a line from *Forest Bunny Police*.
When he first started filming the show, he had watched this episode with Xie Yaoyao and the others.
It was called “The Black Forest.”

Suddenly, a black wind blew through the forest.
It made the bad guy Black Soil Wolf even worse.
He bit many small animals.
The originally very lazy pig became even lazier.
The originally very deceitful little fox became even more deceitful.

Even the bunny officer started doing bad things.

Every animal that did bad things turned black.
Until the lop-eared bunny police chief risked his life to save a little bunny who had committed a crime.
The little bunny shed tears and turned white again.
Its fangs disappeared too.

Everyone in the forest gradually changed back.

This episode was actually about how everyone has a little black bunny inside.
You mustn’t let it out.
But if it does come out, as long as you recognize your mistakes and correct them, you’re still a good kid.

Ji Xiao could remember things from a very, very long time ago.
Before he was one year old, before his uncle knew that brother surnamed Xie, his uncle wasn’t like this.

He remembered his uncle coaxing him to sleep at night, reading scripts beside him.
That embrace was incredibly warm.

Even later, in his vast and jumbled memories, the most frequent were of his uncle taking him to the hospital, accompanying him to see doctors, and sleeping beside his hospital bed at night.

He knew his uncle had turned into a little black bunny.
No matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find his original uncle.
But he still loved him very much.
More than anything in the world.

Then even he had changed.

Actually, he knew that snowy slope was very dangerous.
Doing something this dangerous made him a bad kid too.
Although he didn’t mean to fall, he hadn’t been scared when he walked over.

Because even if he fell, it would be okay.
Then his uncle wouldn’t be so tired, right?

Before, when the director arranged the task, he had drawn a picture for his uncle.
In a forest, there were two little black bunnies, one big and one small, holding hands.

Even as little black bunnies, it was okay.
He could stay with him in this forest.

But he hadn’t expected to get Little Ning Gege hurt.

He just had a memory overload.
But he was still a very young child.
To him, the thick bandage on Ning Shixue’s hand was a very serious thing.
He couldn’t control the tears falling again.

“Sorry, Little Ning Gege,”
Ji Xiao sobbed.

He was a bad kid too.
No one would like him.
His uncle didn’t like him either.
Where should he go?

Ning Shixue felt this probably wasn’t something he should say.
But right now, someone needed to answer Ji Xiao’s question.

He looked up, pulled Ji Xiao into his arms, curved his eyes, and said softly,
“I still love you.”
