Chapter 525 From Now on, I Have You in My Heart (38)

Hearing this, Ji Yi turned her eyes from instant noodles to He Jichen's face. He knew that he was waiting for her to answer his question, but when she spoke, it was also a question: "You eat instant noodles during the Chinese New Year?"

Ji Yi brought up the instant noodles, and He Jichen thought of the New Year's Eve dinner he had made. He turned around, closed the lid of the instant noodles, held it in one hand, and walked towards the office first.

Ji Yi followed quietly.

As soon as she took a step into He Jichen's office, she almost left immediately.

The smell of cigarettes was very strong inside, and the sofa and coffee table were littered with empty cigarette boxes.

The papers on the desk were scattered in a mess, and the ashtray next to the open computer was filled with cigarette butts of different lengths.

He Jichen put the instant noodles on the table, walked to the window and opened it.

The cold wind outside was a bit strong and blew in. It quickly blew away most of the smoke smell in the room, and also blew several documents on the table to the ground.

When Ji Yi bent down and picked up the document, he saw many traces of black pen circles on it.

The picture on the paper looked familiar, very much like the scene where she woke up many years ago and saw the key points drawn in the textbook.

Ji Yi couldn't help but take a second look. Before he could find out what was going on, He Jichen, who had opened the window, had already turned back, leaning on the desk, and said in a calm tone: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Hearing He Jichen's voice, Ji Yi suddenly interrupted the thoughts in her mind, raised her head and glanced at He Jichen, then walked up to him and put the file on the desk. She was about to reply that he was a fat man and he didn't reply. Su Cheng, she just came here to find him, but as she spoke, she caught sight of a photo thrown on the keyboard of He Jichen's computer.

She knew everyone inside.

That was a family photo of the He family.

The words he wanted to say suddenly choked in his throat, and an indescribable depression instantly filled Ji Yi's heart.

The reason why he worked overtime alone in the company on New Year's Eve was because he wanted to use work to distract from his homesickness?

But even so, he couldn't hide the sadness in his heart. That's why he smoked so many cigarettes, right?

As Ji Yi thought about it, his eyes scanned around the cigarette butts and empty cigarette boxes everywhere in the room. The more he looked at them, the more he felt in his heart.

He was already feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. If she mentioned that he had not returned to Su City at this time, it would be tantamount to uncovering his scars...

Thinking about it, Ji Yi swallowed hard and pushed back the words that had reached her lips. Then she curled her lips towards He Jichen and made up a white lie: "You just gave it to me." Mom went to her friend's place to play mahjong, and when she came back, she happened to pass by the company and saw that the lights were on, so she came up to take a look."

If it had been before, Ji Yi would definitely ask He Jichen why he was still working overtime in the company on New Year's Eve.

Knowing the truth, she chose to avoid talking about it. Before He Jichen could speak, she shook her head from side to side, looked around the office again, then stared at the instant noodles that He Jichen casually placed on the table, and changed the topic: "The instant noodles seem to be ready."

He Jichen said "hmm" and opened the lid of the instant noodles.

The fragrance instantly spreads to every corner of the office.

On New Year's Eve, there were restaurants open, but they only served customers who had booked their reservations half a month in advance. It was unreliable for two people to go out to eat now, but others went home for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, but He Jichen did. Eating alone... Ji Yi paused for a few seconds and said, "Are there any more?"
