After Ji Yi put her shoes on, she straightened up and said something completely unrelated to what He Jichen said, "I'm terribly sorry for troubling you last night."
He Jichen furrowed his brows. His voice didn't carry any emotion, and his voice remained calm as he said, "What's wrong? You don't feel like eating congee?"
Aside from the time he said harsh, mocking words to her at the hot spring resort, he either didn't talk to her at all or he'd say under ten words to her each time, ever since they bumped into each other that first day. To date, this was the first time he spoke calmly with her since they were reunited after four years.
Ji Yi still thought it was odd. She silently glanced at He Jichen for a moment but didn't reply. Instead, she continued with her own train of thought and said, "I'm much better, so I'll be leaving now."
