A picture he never dared to hope for in his dreams was becoming a reality.
A tinge of sadness surfaced in He Jichen's eyes, and he instinctively turned his head and looked far away.
He spent two seconds to force himself to calm the raging storm in his chest then he looked back at Ji Yi. He didn't reply with the simple "yeah" as he did before, but with a "How have you been recently?"
With just these five words, he knew what he wanted to say next. Ji Yi beat him to the punch by saying, "Let's not lie to each other."
How have you been recently? Let's not lie to each other.
Those were the words she said when she took the initiative to apologize during their first misunderstanding.
Later, they got into an argument. No matter if he was the one who went to look for her, or if she went to look for him, someone had to speak up first.
