It was already past five in the afternoon when Ji Yuan stepped out of the research lab. His phone vibrated twice.
Ji Yuan answered the call. "Hello, brother~ have you thought carefully about whether you forgot to do something today?"
Based on his years of experience dealing with this Little Fairy, Ji Yuan knew he couldn't show any signs of guilt at this moment.
"No, the meeting at the company just dragged on, and I just got out. I was about to come pick you up," Ji Yuan said, trying to sound casual while quietly instructing his assistant nearby, ensuring the person on the other end could hear him. "Hey, Xiao Cen, can you help me deliver this to Room 314? Thanks a lot; I'll treat you to dinner next time."
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, just sit at the airport for a bit. If you're hungry, grab something to eat. I'll be there in half an hour."
Ji Xiao Xiao sensed her cousin's 'busyness' and pouted, deciding to be understanding for once. "Hmm, it's fine. If you're too busy, just give me your address and I'll take a taxi to your place."
Although Ji Xiao Xiao loved to joke around and tease people, she wasn't unreasonable. When it came to serious matters, she knew how to be considerate.
Of course, if she knew that Ji Yuan had completely forgotten about picking her up, she would probably want to beat him into a pulp…
Ji Yuan quickly replied, "No need! It's rare for you to come here; you should come to school instead. I promised to pick you up, so I will definitely keep my word. Alright, I'm driving now; I’ll hang up."
After hanging up the phone, he tossed it onto the seat and pressed down a little harder on the accelerator.
About twenty minutes later, Ji Yuan arrived at the location. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he spotted a girl standing at the exit. She had a messy ponytail, wore an orange baseball cap, a large white T-shirt, and extremely short sky-blue denim shorts, and she carried a backpack.
Her long, straight, and fair legs were fully exposed, catching the attention of several young men who couldn't help but steal glances at her from time to time. The girl slightly raised her hand and looked around, clearly searching for someone.
"Hey, girl!" Ji Yuan called out as he got out of the car, waving the Maybach key in his hand. "What are you looking at? Is your eyesight bad?"
"Brother~" The girl heard Ji Yuan's teasing and looked slightly annoyed. However, in front of so many people, she didn't bother to argue with him and quickly ran into his arms.
Indeed, this girl was Ji Yuan's troublesome cousin, Ji Xiao Xiao. To everyone else, she was a good girl; to him, she was a little fairy and a little devil!
"Have you been waiting long?" Although he felt guilty for forgetting about this meeting, Ji Yuan brushed it off and instead pinched her delicate face that seemed soft enough to squeeze water out of.
"Not really." Ji Xiao Xiao had initially felt a bit disappointed and wronged, but all those feelings vanished in an instant.
As the bystanders all looked over, Ji Yuan felt a bit uncomfortable and cleared her throat twice. "Where's your luggage?"
When going on a trip, one should at least bring a few changes of clothes, right?
But looking at her, it was as if she was just returning home.
While saying this, she gestured to indicate Ji Yuan's height, teasingly saying, "Why do you look like a little bean? Is that all you've got?"
"Ji Yuan!!"
Ji Xiao Xiao almost ground her teeth as she shouted those two words, her heels tapping on the ground repeatedly.
A girl who is 170 cm tall, and you call that a little bean? Do you have some misunderstanding about girls' heights?
"Aunt said it's fine to just move in with your bag." Ji Xiao Xiao shifted her body slightly, clearly a bit angry.
Ji Yuan stopped joking and said, "Alright, let's talk in the car."
The sun was quite harsh; even at five or six in the evening, it still made people's skin feel hot.
"Okay." The moment Ji Yuan opened the car door, Ji Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity and directly stood on her tiptoes to give Ji Yuan a kiss.
Ji Yuan felt a bit helpless, wiped the drool from her ear with a hint of disdain and said, "I mean, are you a little dog or something? Why are you licking people!"
