Ji Yi didn't wait for He Jichen to speak before she blurted out, "I'm going to shower."
After she said this, she brushed by He Jichen and rushed into the bathroom.
Ji Yi dawdled in the bathroom for a long time and didn't come out until she was certain she wouldn't awkwardly embarrass herself in front of He Jichen over the "kiss."
She didn't glance at the bed where He Jichen was lying, but she walked over to the other empty bed and said, "It's late. Get some sleep." Then she turned the lights off in the patient room, climbed into bed, and pulled the covers over her head.
Ji Yi laid silently in the darkness for a long long time - so long, in fact, that she only emerged from under the covers when He Jichen had fallen asleep.
Ji Yi stared up at the ceiling, breathing carefully for a while until the stifling discomfort in her chest subsided. Then she gently turned her head and looked over at He Jichen.
