When she heard He Jichen's voice, Ji Yi realized just how deeply his one line affected her. She hastily gulped and pushed down the surging emotions in her chest. As she forced herself to come back to her senses, she looked at He Jichen and said, "Although it wasn't your fault that night, I'm really grateful you said you'll take responsibility. But I'm sorry..."
Before Ji Yi could finish speaking, she felt like something was forcefully clutching her heart as a ravaging, raw pain started to creep into her chest.
Her fingers instinctively grasped the table, and she struggled to look and sound calm. She continued to say, "...He Jichen, I can't accept it."
Yes... I can't accept it, nor can I accept it...
This is obviously how I feel, but why does my heart hurt even more intensely after I said it?
It hurts even more than last night when I decided to end things with He Yuguang...
