Chapter 524 From Now on, I Have You in My Heart (37)

The mother sitting in the living room heard the noise, raised her head and looked at Ji Yi. She found that she had changed into her home clothes, and immediately asked in confusion: "Xiao Yi, are you going out?"

"Yeah." Ji Yi responded, walked to the entrance and opened the shoe cabinet.

Ji's mother got up and walked towards Ji Yi: "It's New Year's Eve, what are you doing out there?"

"I have something to do. I'll be back in a moment." Ji Yi changed her shoes, waved to Ji's mother who walked in front of her, and quickly opened the door without giving her mother a chance to ask further questions. He hurried into the elevator.

The streets on New Year's Eve seemed particularly empty, and the ground was covered with spent fireworks.

Ji Yi wrapped herself in clothes and shivered for a long time under the cold north wind before finally waiting for a taxi.

Ji Yi first went to He Jichen's home near Shadow B.

Before going upstairs, Ji Yi saw He Jichen's home was completely dark.

Ji Yi knew in her heart that He Jichen might not be at home, but she still said hello to the taxi driver, asked him to wait for her for a while, and then went upstairs.

After ringing the doorbell for a long time but no one answered, Ji Yi turned back and asked the taxi driver to take him to YC.

Before the car stopped, Ji Yi saw through the car window that the lights on the top of the company building were on.

After paying the fare, Ji Yi stepped on the steps and ran into the company building.

During holidays on weekdays, the company still has security guards on duty. On New Year's Eve, the company was empty with no one around.

Wherever Ji Yi stepped on her high heels, there were voice-activated lights that lit up one by one.

He took the elevator and went straight to the top floor. When he came out, Ji Yi saw He Jichen standing with his back to him in the tea room with lights on.

Ji Yi's steps subconsciously stopped in place.

Apart from her and him, there was no third person in the whole building.

The sound of boiling water in the tea room was particularly clear.

A light burned on the tip of He Jichen's finger, and he would lift it up from time to time and bring it to his mouth.

Ji Yi knew that he was smoking.

The water boiled and the rolling sound stopped. He Jichen picked up the kettle and poured it in front of him.

As the sound of running water reached Ji Yi's ears, she came back to her senses. As she walked to the tea room, she said, "He Jichen."

He Jichen thought it was an auditory hallucination and did not look back. The fingertips holding the kettle slightly weakened.

Ji Yi took two more steps towards him: "He Jichen."

As she finished speaking for the second time, she clearly saw He Jichen's back stiffen, and even the sound of water flowing stopped for a moment.

After about two seconds, He Jichen turned around and met Ji Yi's eyes.

Ji Yi stopped again.

As if he had seen an incredible scene, He Jichen opened the corners of his lips slightly, and the half of the cigarette in his mouth slipped from his lips and fell to the ground.

The two looked at each other for a while. He Jichen came back to his senses and hurriedly stamped out the burning cigarette at his feet. Then he put the kettle in his hand on the marble countertop and then asked: "Why are you here?" Already?"

When Ji Yi heard He Jichen's voice, she fluttered her eyelashes, raised her feet again, and walked into the tea room.

As she got closer, she could see clearly that there was a box of instant noodles in front of He Jichen, with steam rising from it.

So, just now, he boiled water for instant noodles? Is this his New Year’s Eve dinner?

Ji Yi frowned.

"Xiaoyi?" He Jichen said again.
