Chapter 444 Becoming Famous Overnight (6)

He Jichen paused for a second before speaking again, to Dr. Xia: "Sorry, wait a moment..."

Then Ji Yi clearly felt that his voice was much clearer. She thought it was probably because he held the phone to her ear: "Huh?"

"My wound is fine. I'm looking for you..." Ji Yi's voice was very soft. She only said half of what she said before He Jichen interrupted her: "Wait for me first."

Then Ji Yi heard He Jichen's words of apology and goodbye to Dr. Xia. After pressing the phone, He Jichen's voice became clear again in her ears: "You said..."

"I..." Ji Yi's call to He Jichen was so sudden that she didn't even think about what to say to him. She only said one word and then paused. He was very patient and didn't rush her. After a long time, Ji Yi moved his lips and said, "...I saw the hot search on Weibo."

"Huh?" Ji Yi said in a vague way. He Jichen didn't react for a while. He responded in confusion before he understood, and then said again: "Oh."

Oh...what answer is this?

Ji Yi made the call subconsciously without thinking about what to talk to He Jichen. Now that she heard his answer, she didn't know what to say.

Both ends of the phone fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Yi finally thought of saying "thank you" to He Jichen first. She swallowed, but before she could speak, a "dong" sound came from the phone.

Like something fell to the ground?

Ji Yi frowned and instinctively said, "What's wrong?"

She was met with silence.

"He Jichen?" Ji Yi spoke again.

There was finally a response from the other end of the phone, but what came was Chen Bai's voice: "Mr. He?!"

His tone was filled with anxiety, and Ji Yi's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. Just as she was about to raise her voice and call out the words "Assistant Chen," she heard the sound of cluttered footsteps coming from the phone, followed by Chen Bai's tight voice. Then it sounded: "Hello, hello, 120? Someone has fainted here, the address is..." Chen Bai's voice: "Mr. He? Mr. He?!"

faint?

Does this mean that the "dong" she heard just now was the sound of He Jichen falling?

Ji Yi sat up from the bed like a conditioned reflex. Even the polite call "Assistant Chen" that he wanted to call out became: "Chen Bai! Chen Bai!"

Ji Yi shouted several times. After hanging up the phone, Chen Bai probably heard the noise coming from He Jichen's phone. He picked up the phone and responded to her: "Miss Ji?"

"What happened to He Jichen?"

"Mr. He's physical condition has not been good recently. I don't know what happened in the past two days. He didn't go home and stayed in the company to work overtime. I just entered the office to deliver breakfast to him and saw that he collapsed. On the ground..."

Stay in the company and work overtime? Didn't he ask her to come over because he was going on a business trip and no one was staying at home?

In just a moment, Ji Yi suddenly understood everything.

He Jichen knew that she was worried that her parents would see her in such a mess and didn't want to go home, but he didn't trust her to stay in the hotel alone, so he lied and said he was going on a business trip and took her back to his home...

In the past two days, she had been taken care of by Mrs. Zhang meticulously, but he was working overtime in the company...
