The streets were very quiet. The sound of her cries wasn't loud, but they traveled far.
Standing at a nearby tree, He Jichen heard the endless sound of crying. His fists were tightly clenched by his side.
Ji Yi cried for a long, long time until eventually, her voice became hoarse, yet her tears continued to flow.
She wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or if she cried too hard, but her head was lacking oxygen. When she reached out to wipe her tears away while trying to get up, she completely fainted to the ground all of sudden.
He Jichen, who had been staring at her all along, rushed out from behind the tree without the slightest hesitation.
He took big strides, daring to go over to her then he stopped just half a meter away from her.
