Ji Yi remained quiet for some time before she realized what he said. She didn't say a word but gave him a gentle nod.
…
After Chen Bai left during dinner, he didn't return.
The car was parked in a nearby parking lot. He Jichen drove Ji Yi to the hotel.
The hotel Chen Bai booked was situated just by the West Lake.
It took only about ten minutes to drive there.
Perhaps they'd exhausted all possible conversation during their stroll by West Lake, so after they got into the car, they didn't say a single word to each other.
The radio was turned off in the car, so aside from the soft sounds of the air conditioning blowing, the atmosphere in the car was incredibly quiet. Ji Yi could even hear the faint sounds of He Jichen breathing.
When they reached a red light on the road, Ji Yi averted her eyes away from the window and gently trained them on He Jichen.
