He Jichen's back tightened as his entire body froze on the spot.
He felt like it was all a dream; a surreal illusion.
He didn't dare move as he was afraid her arms would disappear from around his waist.
Ji Yi didn't know what had gotten into her either. She just suddenly really wanted to hug him.
She buried her face in his chest where she felt the warmth of his body through his clothes.
That warmth made her feel oddly at peace as the complex and raging emotions she had all day gradually settled down.
It was silent in the office. Ji Yi kept up her one-sided hug for a long time. The tears in her eyes gradually disappeared.
Because she had cried so violently, she hiccupped every now and then.
She was a little uncomfortable from holding that pose for so long, so she shifted slightly as she adjusted her position.
Her shifting alarmed He Jichen, who hadn't moved an inch from the very start.
