Ever since Chinese New Year when he used He Yuguang's identity and stayed a whole night and day in Lijiang, "He Yuguang" and Ji Yi had grown quite close. "He Yuguang" and Ji Yi practically messaged each other every day.
The phone had been left on the bed only because they exchanged messages on WeChat till late the night before. Before going to sleep, he just tossed it to one side.
When he unlocked the screen, he noticed there were notifications for several unread WeChat messages. He Jichen casually opened WeChat and saw that those messages were from Ji Yi, but he didn't open to read them as another notification popped up. His phone was running out of battery.
As he sat up against the headboard, He Jichen found the charging cable and plugged in the phone. With one hand raising a cigarette to his mouth, he tapped Ji Yi's name and read her message. "Yuguang Ge, last night, I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep. So sorry."
