Random people... With her book in hand, Ji Yi's fingertips stiffened.
Deep down inside, she was glad to have a book to stare at. Before Lin Ya could say anything, she politely looked over at her. Had she not done so, she really wouldn't have known how else to react to He Jichen's words.
After he'd said his piece, He Jichen didn't linger for even a second. He turned around and strode out, leaving the room with a lingering awkwardness in the air.
Lin Ya stood there with a helpless expression on her face as she looked over at He Jichen's back and then at Ji Yi. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
He Jichen, who'd walked quite a distance away now, could sense that Lin Ya hadn't caught up. He said, "Let's go."
Lin Ya could hear the obvious impatience in his voice. She pursed her lips and left with a "Sorry Xiao Yi...". Then she darted out of the room, closed the door, and tried to catch up with He Jichen.
