Ji Yi brought herself back to her senses as she said, a little absent-mindedly, "Nothing..."
"Is it really nothing? Why do I think something about you is off..." continued Tang Huahua with a worried expression on her face.
Ji Yi only heard the first part of what she said as her mind drifted again back to the five-second ring of the wishing bell...

Outside the hot pot restaurant.
He Jichen stood outside the tall windows in the rustling cold wind. Through the glass, he watched as Ji Yi was dragged up the stairs by Tang Huahua. After she disappeared completely, he reached to pull out his vibrating phone. He glanced at the incoming call - it was Han Zhifan who called him moments ago - he wanted to meet up to talk about business.
He Jichen took the call but didn't give Han Zhifan a chance to say anything and replied, "Be right there." He tapped the button to hang up the call.
