I gave him the band-aids, but he's not asking me to come in and sit. It's the middle of the night and I'm a woman, so it's probably not okay for me to take the initiative and go in. Should I suggest to He Jichen that I leave early?
I just arrived and only just exchanged a few words with him though...
Ji Yi looked down to mask the disappointment in her eyes.
After her reluctance to leave and sadness cleared up, she looked up again and smiled at He Jichen.
But before she could apologize, she noticed He Jichen's whole demeanor softening under the hallway lights and heard his gentle voice saying, "Do you want to come in for a drink?"
"Alright." Ji Yi nodded with her reply with practically no hesitation.
After her voice fell, she realized she replied a little quickly and wasn't the least bit reserved. "I'm a little thirsty," she added hastily.
He Jichen moved aside to let her in.
