After the waiter softly closed the door, the room instantly flipped into a wall of intense silence.
Ji Yi's eyes were glued to He Jichen's face as her tears couldn't stop flowing.
They continued to stare at one another for a while then Ji Yi finally said, "He Jichen..."
Ji Yi's crying made He Jichen's fingers quiver violently as a big chunk of ash burnt off. While it rustled to the floor, some ashes fell on the back of his hand and burned him slightly.
He Jichen hadn't moved an inch since he saw Ji Yi. He finally blinked gently and removed his hand from the corner of his lips.
After putting the cigarette out, he froze for two seconds before turning to look back at Ji Yi.
"You're finally back..." the tears in the corners of Ji Yi's eyes fell violently. "...Do you know that I've been looking for you non-stop for over a year now, and I've been waiting for you to come back all this time?"
