Chapter 538: Deeply in Love with Him, Meeting by Chance (11)

Although they were separated by the phone, He Jichen could feel that Ji Yi's mood was slowly improving, so he spoke again: "Besides, how can you compare with her? I can't find anything in her other than being mean. There are other characteristics, do you want to compete with her to see who is meaner?"

Ji Yi didn't expect that He Jichen would suddenly say such a thing, so she couldn't hold it back and chuckled: "I'm not so worried about it!"

"That's good, I'm really afraid you won't be able to think about it."

Ji Yi didn't say anything, but she could clearly feel her chest being filled with joy little by little.

After a while, He Jichen said, "Are you feeling better?"

"Um."

"I'm feeling better. Just follow my instructions and do something..."

"What's up?"

"Take a hot bath, blow dry your hair, drink a glass of milk, lie down on the bed, close your eyes, don't think about anything, and have a good sleep..." After a pause, He Jichen's voice came from the phone again: " ...You do as I say, I won’t hang up the phone, I’ll stay with you.”

I'll accompany you... Ji Yi never knew that such three simple words could have such infinite power. At this moment, she felt that as long as He Jichen was with her, even if the sky fell, she wouldn't be afraid!

Ji Yi endured the rolling emotions in her heart and said softly, "Yeah", then put down her phone and did as He Jichen said.

He Jichen, who had not yet returned home, knew that Ji Yi was no longer next to the phone, but he did not take the phone off his ear.

He looked out the car window at the night view of the city that was receding, and replayed the three words he just said in his mind.

I'll accompany you...

Four years ago, I couldn't be by your side when something happened to you. Four years later, no matter how big something happens, I will be by your side.

I have left you alone to face the ugliest side of the world once, and I will not leave you to face it a second time...

Ji Yi picked up the phone again, forty minutes later.

The phone is still open.

She lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt as He Jichen said. Then she put her ear to the screen of her mobile phone and chatted wordlessly with He Jichen.

"Are you home yet?"

"arrive."

"Have you taken a shower?"

"Washed."

"Are you hungry?"

"..."

After chatting like this for who knows how long, Ji Yi's eyelids gradually drooped as sleepiness set in.

He Jichen, who was on the other end of the phone, saw Ji Yi's reply getting slower and slower. Knowing that she was sleepy, he kept silent.

The night was very quiet, and through the receiver, he could hear the girl's breathing, which gradually became even and long.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the thousands of lights outside the window, lit a cigarette, and after taking a long puff, he seemed to remember something, and spoke to Ji Yi on the phone again: "Xiao Yi ?”

"Huh?" The girl's voice has become blurry.

"You have to remember what I told you."

Every word I say to you is a promise.

——Without YC, you still have me.

——Come here admiringly when it is no longer glorious, and turn away when it is no longer at its lowest point.

"……Um."

When Ji Yi woke up again, it was already noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Her mobile phone had automatically shut down due to low battery.

There was such a big fuss about her plagiarizing Qiange's ideas that even her parents knew about it.

Ji's mother was afraid that Ji Yi would fall ill while sitting at home, thinking wildly, so after lunch, she forced Ji Yi to go to the beauty salon for a spa treatment.
