Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
After He Jichen hung up, he put the cigarette in the corner of his mouth and took a drag. When he slowly blew out a cloud of smoke, he looked out his car window and stared at the tall building nearby. Through the smoke, his gaze fell on the illuminated window of his apartnt.
After staring for such a long ti, He Jichen only blinked when his phone rang. He slowly withdrew his gaze as his eyes swept over his phone screen. It was soone from the company calling – they were probably rushing him to co back. He didn’t pick up the call. He snapped the cigarette between his fingers and stepped on the gas as he slowly drove away.

When the door opened again, Ji Yi thought it was He Jichen returning from seeing Dr. Xia out. Her body instinctively tensed up before she heard Zhang Sao’s voice: “Miss Ji.”
Ji Yi was stunned for a mont but after two seconds, she raised her head to see that it was just Zhang Sao on her own.
She assud He Jichen was still talking to Dr. Xia outside. Ji Yi smiled back at her. “Zhang Sao.”
Before He Jichen left, he gave Zhang Sao many sets of instructions; she rembered each one by heart. She waited for Ji Yi to finish changing her shoes and step into the living room before she imdiately carried out what He Jichen asked her to do. “Miss Ji, are you hungry now? Shall I whip up so supper for you?”
Ji Yi shook her head.
Zhang Sao thought about what He Jichen said – if Ji Yi wasn’t hungry, make her a cup of hot milk to help her sleep instead. “Then Miss Ji, shall I prepare a hot cup of milk? After you drink it, you’ll sleep a little better.”
Ji Yi hesitated for a mont then gently nodded.
Zhang Sao smiled brightly and replied, “Miss Ji, please wait for a mont,” then she headed into the dining room.
After Zhang Sao erged from the dining room carrying a cup of hot milk, the apartnt door still showed no other signs of being pushed open.
Are He Jichen and Dr. Xia actually chatting outside for this long?
“Miss Ji, your milk.” Zhang Sao stopped at Ji Yi’s side and handed her the cup of milk.
Ji Yi ca back to her senses and thanked her. After she took the cup, she raised it to her lips and took a small sip. Seeing as the door still didn’t move in the slightest, Ji Yi couldn’t help but ask in bewildernt, “Is he... and Dr. Xia still chatting outside?”
Zhang Sao paused for a mont and realized that the “he” Ji Yi was referring to was He Jichen. Then she said, “When I ca in, Mr. He already left.”
So, He Jichen left long ago... then those two phone calls earlier... One was to Dr. Xia and the other was to Zhang Sao?
He specifically called Zhang Sao over to take care of ?
Ji Yi held the cup of milk silently while deep in thought. Beside her, Zhang Sao noticed that she didn’t react at all, so she added, “Mr. He said he had so work to do at the office, so he called over to take good care of you.”
Things really are as I thought... Ji Yi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat and her fingertips couldn’t help but tighten around the cup of milk. Then she felt her own heart start to race uncontrollably.
In the past, she was in the sa situation but at the ti, she didn’t understand that they were signs that she was emotionally touched by He Jichen. Now, she understood what they ant, but she was afraid... She was afraid she’d fall deeper, and that after making their relationship clear, this would make matters ssy again.
With that thought, Ji Yi took a hard gulp as she tried her best to suppress the pounding of her heart. Then she replied to Zhang Sao with an “Oh,” before raising the cup and downing the milk.
After putting the cup on the table, Ji Yi left Zhang Sao with the words: “I’m going to get so rest now.” Without waiting for a reply, she got up and walked into He Jichen’s bedroom.
