Chapter 303 Can We Go Back to the Past? (8)

Countless incomprehensions and doubts poured into Ji Yi's heart, rolling and colliding in her chest, making her originally calm inner lake extremely messy.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out why He Jichen had changed so much. Her mood gradually began to become irritable. She couldn't help but stand up from the sofa and walked towards the balcony not far away, wanting to go outside for some fresh air.

Chen Bai saw Ji Yi move and followed suit, but he did not affect Ji Yi and always kept a comfortable distance from her.

When he saw her reaching the balcony entrance, he didn't go forward again. Instead, he found a nearby place to stay and stopped.

Ji Yi stretched out her hand to push the balcony door, but as soon as she raised her fingertips, she saw He Jichen standing through the glass door with his back to the room.

There was no light on the balcony, and the light refracted from the room was a little dim, making the outline of his figure somewhat blurry.

As if something was bothering him, he lit a cigarette on his fingertips.

Ji Yi's movements suddenly froze in place. She stared at He Jichen intently for a while through the glass. She looked away. Just as she was about to pretend that she hadn't been there, she turned around and left. He Jichen on the balcony suddenly saw someone. He turned sideways and flicked the cigarette from his fingertips twice into the ashtray on the round table beside him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ji Yi. He thought he was hallucinating. He paused for a second, then raised his head and looked up. Then he met Ji Yi's eyes before he could retract them. Together.

He Jichen was backlit, so Ji Yi couldn't see his eyes clearly, but she knew he was looking at her, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Because He Jichen spotted him on the spot, Ji Yi hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​leaving and push the door open with gentle force.

Her movement disturbed He Jichen who was staring at her. He blinked his eyes and hurriedly put out his cigarette in the ashtray.

Ji Yi stepped onto the balcony, closed the door behind her, and said to He Jichen in a somewhat reserved tone: "Why are you here alone?"

"I've been in the room for a long time and it's a bit stuffy. Let's come out and get some air." He Jichen, who was standing in the middle of the balcony, moved to the side and gave half of the place in front of the railing to Ji Yi.

When Ji Yi came over and stood still, he said again: "What about you? Why are you coming out too?"

"Me too, come out and get some air." Ji Yi turned around and glanced at He Jichen.

He Jichen nodded lightly but said nothing.

Ji Yi didn't know what to talk to He Jichen for a moment, and the balcony fell into silence.

After about a minute, both of them seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, and they spoke in unison at the same time.

He Jichen: "Today..."

Ji Yi: "This..."

The two men heard each other's voice and stopped again.

She wanted to ask him to continue talking, and he wanted to ask her to continue talking. There was another long silent scene.

"Today..." The moment He Jichen opened his mouth to break the deadlock, Ji Yi had the same thought: "This..."

The two of them shut up at the same time again. This time He Jichen did not remain silent and continued: "You speak first."

Ji Yi didn't give in. Even though he knew the truth, he asked again: "Did you prepare all of this?"

He Jichen knew that Ji Yi was referring to her birthday surprise, so he did not object. He nodded lightly and said "hmm". Then after about three seconds, he asked again: "Do you like it?"
