He Jichen went straight to the point: "Did Ji Yi contact you?"
"No..." Tang Huahua paused for a moment then replied with more detail: "... Three nights ago, when we chatted over WeChat, she told me she'd be going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow. In the past two days, we haven't been in contact."
"Oh..." He Jichen didn't say anything further.
Tang Huahua waited for more, but seeing as He Jichen didn't say anything else, she asked curiously, "He Xuezhang, did something happen?"
He Jichen came back to his senses and replied flatly, "No."
"Oh..." Tang Huahua wasn't stupid - she knew He Jichen wasn't going to tell her the truth, so she didn't bother probing anymore.
After two seconds, Tang Huahua said again, "... He Xuezhang, how about this... I'll try to contact Xiao Yi. If I'm able to get through to her, I'll contact you right away."
"Thank you," He Jichen politely replied and hung up the phone.
