A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You

Chapter 367: A Thousand Bottles of Correction Fluid (7)

An intense smell of alcohol made He Jichen’s brows furrow as his gaze turned to the table.

There were five to six empty wine glasses and a third left in a big bottle of whiskey… She couldn’t have drunk them all by herself, right?

Chen Bai, who hadn’t yet seen Ji Yi’s condition, walked over. “Mr. He, Miss Ji’s probably…”

Before he could finish his sentence with “…alright”, he immediately turned silent from fear of He Jichen’s shooting cold glare.

“I told you to stay here to watch her. How the hell have you been watching her? How could you let her drink so much?!”

Chen Bai trembled at He Jichen’s roar and instinctively took a step back. Then he looked over at Ji Yi.

It was over. Her eyes were already far gone; she obviously drank a lot… Didn’t she just have an upset stomach so she stayed in the restroom for longer than usual? How come everything changed after she came out…

The next second, Chen Bai immediately replied with his incredible quick-wit, “Mr. He, I’ll go have someone whip up a drink to sober her up!”

After saying that, Chen Bai turned around, ready to head in the direction of the restaurant. However, he just took two steps before Ji Yi suddenly jumped up from the sofa. “Stop right there!”

By reflex, Chen Bai stopped walking, turned to look at Ji Yi, and said with a polished smile, “Miss Ji, what are your orders?”

He wasn’t sure whether Ji Yi actually heard what he said or if she could even recognize him after drinking so much. Anyhow, she stared at him for some time as she said, a little tongue-tied, “Have you seen He Jichen?”

“Mr. He is right next to you!” swiftly answered Chen Bai.

“Oh,” responded Ji Yi with a nod. Then she swept a look at He Jichen, who was standing right next to her, as she started to mumble to herself: “Why hasn’t he come downstairs yet… What the hell is he doing upstairs for so long? He couldn’t have been so tired that he fell asleep, right…”

Her voice was a little low, and since she’d been drinking, her words sounded slurred and unclear. He Jichen, who was standing next to her, couldn’t catch what she said, let alone Chen Bai.

“Mhm, he most probably fell asleep from exhaustion!” Ji Yi nodded to herself and confirmed her own thoughts. With a tilted head and stunned expression, she added after a minute of silence, “Mmmmm. How could I forget? He told me that I should contact him after I come out of the restroom…”

As she said this, Ji Yi started looking for her phone.

She rummaged around the table for a long time before she found her phone. She must’ve been truly drunk because she tapped the phone for a long time but still couldn’t manage to unlock it. Instead, she turned the screen dark. She handed He Jichen her phone. “Help me take a look. Is my phone broken…”

He Jichen stared at Ji Yi in a drunken mess, completely ignored what she said, and said, “I’ll take you back upstairs to get some rest.”

As he said this, he pulled on her arm.

He didn’t use his full strength, so with furrowed brows, Ji Yi was able to swing her wrist free and waved over at Chen Bai. “This person is so stupid! They can’t even tell if my phone is broken or not. Come here and help me take a look!”

Chen Bai almost lost it with Ji Yi’s line “This person is so stupid”. The corners of his lips twitched from holding in his laughter as he walked over to Ji Yi and helped her turn on her phone. “Miss Ji, your phone isn’t broken. It was just turned off.”

Chapter 368: A Thousand Bottles of Correction Fluid (8)

Ji Yi was obviously drunk beyond compare. She watched her phone screen light up and smiled foolishly. “Wah! This little brother, you’re awesome! Way better than this uncle on the side…”

Chen Bai is a little brother? I’m an uncle?

He Jichen almost blacked out from anger and he had the urge to call someone to throw a bucket of cold water over Ji Yi. He scowled ferociously at Chen Bai.

Chen Bai’s insides were writhing with laughter, but when he met He Jichen’s murderous glare, all he could do was put on an innocent and serious front while suppressing his smile.

Ji Yi had no idea that He Jichen was standing next to her. With an awful expression on her face, she tapped the “Home” button as she angled her thumb a few times before finally unlocking the screen.

She opened her contacts and stared at her recent call logs for a moment. Finally, she found the words “He Jichen” then clicked the dial button.

She didn’t raise the phone to her ear but tapped the loudspeaker function instead.

After making the call, the three of them heard the rings “Doot——”. The melodic sound of He Jichen’s phone started to ring in his pocket.

He knew she was calling him, but he didn’t pick up the phone. Instead, he called Ji Yi’s name, “Ji Yi.”

Ji Yi stared at her phone screen for a while in a drunken haze. Seeing as no one picked up, she tapped to hang up the call and called He Jichen again.

It was just the same as before – the phone rang a few times but no one picked up. Ji Yi couldn’t help but tense up her brows. “B*tch! Didn’t pick up my call!”

B*tch? Is she talking about He Jichen?

Chen Bai was afraid he was going to suddenly burst into laughter, so he tightened his lips and discreetly glanced over at He Jichen.

Besides the cold expression which surfaced in his eyes after seeing the drunk woman call him a “b*tch”, he didn’t reveal any other emotions. In fact, he even spoke softly and patiently to her as he said, “Ji Yi, I’m here. I’ll take you upstairs to get some rest.”

Perhaps the only person in this world who dares to call Mr. He a “b*tch” is Miss Ji?

While Miss Ji is maybe the only person in this world who dares to insult Mr. He, Mr. He can’t have no reaction at all, right?

Just as Chen Bai was mumbling to himself, Ji Yi called several more times but nobody picked up. All of a sudden, she slammed her phone on the table in anger. The next second, she spoke with a full alcoholic breath of air, “Don’t pick up my call?! Alright!! I’ll block you!”

As she said this, she really did tap the name “He Jichen” and moved it to her blocked list.

Chen Bai was dumbstruck for a good few seconds then he sneakily turned his head and glanced at He Jichen.

Having been dragged onto her blocked list, He Jichen still didn’t show any signs of anger. In fact, he crouched down and was eye-to-eye with her as he said, “Ji Yi? I’m here, I’m He Jichen…”

From the moment He Jichen and Chen Bai appeared, Ji Yi hadn’t really listened to what the two of them said. However, when He Jichen said the words “He Jichen,” she repeated them again with furrowed brows, “He Jichen? He’s next to me?”

With that, she turned her groggy head and looked all around her.

She was a drunken mess and couldn’t clearly see who it was; she looked dazed as her eyes swayed between He Jichen and Chen Bai for a moment. In the end, her gaze fell on Chen Bai.

Chapter 369: A Thousand Bottles of Correction Fluid (9)

She stared at Chen Bai firmly for a moment then all of a sudden, she burst into laughter. She then got up and walked around He Jichen while sashaying over to Chen Bai. “He Jichen, you’re finally here…”

Miss Ji is actually mistaking me for Mr. He?

Chen Bai instinctively glanced over at He Jichen when he heard those shocking words. After being practically torn apart by He Jichen’s glare, Chen Bai’s legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground.

To stay alive, Chen Bai instinctively wanted to explain himself, but since he was in such a hurry, he started to stammer, “M-Miss. Ji, I-I…”

Chen Bai hadn’t finished talking when Ji Yi’s footsteps started to stagger from drinking so much. All of a sudden, she started walking lopsidedly.

Instinctively, Chen Bai hurriedly reached his hands out to support Ji Yi.

Ji Yi leaned against Chen Bai’s body as he steadied her arm.

The atmosphere instantly dropped and the temperature plummeted to an icy chill.

Chen Bai’s whole body quivered as he looked towards He Jichen.

He Jichen’s eyes were just like knives, charging at Chen Bai, itching to pierce countless bloody holes into his body.

Chen Bai instinctively raised both his arms up in the air and took two quick steps back to put some distance between him and Ji Yi.

Since Chen Bai pulled away, the drunken Ji Yi fell to the ground from her unsteady footing.

If Miss Ji gets hurt from the fall because of me, won’t Mr. He skin me alive?

Chen Bai hastily reached his hands out, scared witless as he steadied Ji Yi again.

Chen Bai only cared about protecting Ji Yi, yet he realized too late that his actions were equivalent to embracing Ji Yi in his arms.

Chen Bai felt a faint pain the very second he caught Ji Yi.

Without even daring to glance at He Jichen, he made sure Ji Yi was steady before quickly withdrawing his arms.

But who knew that just as he removed his hands from Ji Yi, she would then cling to his body and start to sniff him like a dog?

Chen Bai was so frightened that he drew a breath of cold air. He wanted to push Ji Yi off him, but before he even touched Ji Yi’s skin or raised his hands, he felt an obvious menacing aura coming from He Jichen. Chen Bai was so frightened that he swiftly withdrew his hands and took a step back.

Although Ji Yi was groggy, she could still feel “He Jichen” pulling away from her. The next second, she reached her hands out in a rage and clutched Chen Bai’s collar, pulling him towards her.

Chen Bai instinctively started to beg and his voice quivered, “M-Miss. Ji, y-you don’t…”

That’s weird. He Jichen should have Xia Yuan’s scent on his body. How come there’s no trace of it on him… Ji Yi widened her eyes in bewilderment then twitched her cute nose, clinging to Chen Bai’s sleeve. She tried hard to sniff him again.

Chen Bai’s legs trembled more and more out of control. He wanted to escape from Ji Yi’s grasp, but he didn’t dare touch Ji Yi, who was still clutching his collar. All he could do was helplessly stand there.

As Ji Yi’s nose started sniffing more areas of his body, Chen Bai clearly heard He Jichen’s knuckles starting to crack “Guh-chi guh-chi.” His heart instantly jumped as the sounds grew louder and louder until eventually, they sounded like claps of thunder.

Chapter 370: A Thousand Bottles of Correction Fluid (10)

Ji Yi’s nose shifted to Chen Bai’s chest and she buried her face in it completely.

Every hair on Chen Bai’s body stood up, and without thinking about it, he blurted out, “Mr. He, I was wrong…”

Speechless with rage, He Jichen pointed to the doors of the hall and forced out the words “Get out!” to Chen Bai.

“Yes!” replied Chen Bai, without any hesitation.

Chen Bai had worked for He Jichen for many years now, so he was very familiar with his temper, and he knew that He Jichen was on the verge of erupting into a fit of anger. He really was afraid that He Jichen’s fist would come hurling towards him, so Chen Bai now had no second thoughts about forcefully yanking Ji Yi off his body, even if it meant hurting her in the process. Without even thinking it through, he raised his hands, preparing to break away from Ji Yi’s grip. However, before his fingers even touched Ji Yi, she suddenly turned her drunken self and directed her words to He Jichen: “Why are you getting angry?! Who are you telling to get out? You get out!”

Chen Bai’s forehead started to sweat when he heard this.

Oh my god, I beg you stop talking. If you keep talking, I really won’t live past tonight…

But it felt like the heavens wanted to play with Chen Bai – just as he made a secret wish for Ji Yi to shut up, she gritted her teeth and spoke again. “You——Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go buy me some correction fluid!”

He Jichen’s face was already gloomy from Ji Yi’s antics; he now looked as though he was at his limit and couldn’t endure it any longer. He took big strides towards Ji Yi and yanked her fingers from Chen Bai’s collar. With complete disregard for the amount of force he was using, He Jichen pried off her fingers, one after another.

Chen Bai’s fingers hurt just from watching him do that; he couldn’t imagine how painful it must be for Ji Yi.

“I told you to go buy some correction fluid – why are you pulling my fingers off?! Are you listening to what I’m saying?!” Ji Yi squirmed to free herself, trying to escape from He Jichen’s hold.

With a calm and collected expression on his face, He Jichen ignored Ji Yi.

He violently pried off Ji Yi’s fingers from Chen Bai’s collar out of anger from her incessant antics. He reached his arm out and forcefully tugged on the corner of Chen Bai’s collar. With a “sssseeeet——” sound, he tore off the sleeve that Ji Yi had been clutching.

Chen Bai instinctively raised his hands and covered his chest.

He Jichen didn’t even shoot him a glance and clawed the little woman into his embrace.

Ji Yi squirmed but couldn’t escape He Jichen’s embrace. She was so angry that she raised her leg and frantically kicked He Jichen. “Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I said? Why are you standing there like a fool? Go buy me some correction fluid! I want a hundred bottles!”

To He Jichen’s surprise, he was kicked in the calf by Ji Yi’s sharp stilettos. The searing pain further fanned the angry flame brewing in his heart.

He shot a glance at Ji Yi, who was so drunk that she didn’t know what time or day it was, tempted to shout at her but he figured it’d be useless. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what she said? Why are you still standing there like a fool? Go buy some correction fluid!” demanded He Jichen, repeating Ji Yi’s orders to Chen Bai.

Those were clearly the words Miss Ji shouted at Mr. He. Why’s Mr. He shouting the exact same words back at me?

Chen Bai was suffering inside, but he didn’t dare show it on the outside. All he could do was nod violently. “Yes, Mr. He, I’m going!”

Chapter 371: Their Second Time (1)

After he said this, Chen Bai turned right around and headed for the elevators.

After taking just two steps forward, Chen Bai stopped again. “Mr. He, Miss Ji said a hundred bottles of correction fluid. You really want me to buy a hundred bottles?”

“A thousand bottles!” replied He Jichen through gritted teeth. He then bent down and carried the crazy woman in his arms, taking his leave first.

As he passed Chen Bai, He Jichen’s footsteps slowed down slightly. “Don’t come back if you’re one bottle short!”

With that, He Jichen sped up and entered the elevator.

–

With Ji Yi in his arms, He Jichen stepped out of the elevator onto the first floor. He Jichen couldn’t find Ji Yi’s room key on her person, so he carried her into his own room.

He Jichen set Ji Yi down on the bed then immediately called the front desk with the phone by his bedside table, ordering a cocktail to help Ji Yi sober up.

As soon as the drunken Ji Yi touched the bed, he shut his eyes.

After He Jichen put the phone down, he glanced over at Ji Yi. He was afraid she would catch a cold sleeping like that, so he walked up to her and pulled the covers over her body.

Groggy and woozy, Ji Yi smelled a waft of his cologne as he moved.

She furrowed her brows and sniffed harder. When the scent of his cologne intensified, her eyelids slowly opened.

So, the scent I was looking for earlier is here after all…

With that thought, Ji Yi pulled on He Jichen’s shirt and looked up at him.

Her gaze happened to land on his shoulder area. Her soft breaths and the sweet scent of alcohol gently sprayed across his neck area.

He Jichen’s back suddenly tightened up and his voice sounded low, but also a little flat, as he said, “Xiao Yi, stop playing.”

She ignored what he said and continued to rub her little face up and down his clothes.

Her nose slid from his neck down to his chest, then stopped.

Through the covers and his clothes, He Jichen could feel the heat of her lips.

His breathing became a little unsteady as his hand naturally clutched onto the bedsheet.

“Xiao Yi…” He spoke again with an unbelievably hoarse voice.

He Jichen only said two words when the tip of Ji Yi’s nose rubbed against his chest. The sensation made him feel numb and limp, and he let out a grunt.

He held his breath and his whole body tightened up as the desire in his body was suppressed after two seconds of silence.

He Jichen gulped and was about to open his mouth to finish what he was going to say. However, before his tender voice could come out, Ji Yi mumbled the word, “Stinks…”

Stinks? Is she talking about me?

He Jichen furrowed his brows, lowered his head and sniffed his own clothes.

There are no weird smells. Why’d she call me stinky?

Just as He Jichen puzzled over this, Ji Yi moved her nose from He Jichen’s chest to his arm. Then it stopped at a certain spot and she lingered there quietly for a moment. Her delicate brows started to furrow tightly, full of dislike, and she said, “…Stinks so bad…”

With that, Ji Yi reached both her hands out, planning to push He Jichen’s chest away.

The alcohol probably came over her, because she was as flexible as a cat. He Jichen didn’t move an inch however.

Her eyebrows tightened fiercely as she pushed harder. Seeing as he wasn’t moving, she mumbled, “Go away… Stay away from me. You stink… Suffocating me to death…”

Chapter 372: Their Second Time (2)

The more she rambled on, the more hurried her tone of voice sounded. In the very end, she sounded like she was going to cry.

Even if she was drunk, He Jichen was afraid Ji Yi’s eyes would turn red. Without any hesitation, He Jichen gave in. “Alright, alright. I’ll go away, I’ll go away…”

He only managed to say half the things he wanted, yet he still moved away from the bed.

He was already moving away, but Ji Yi still felt like she could sense Xia Yuan’s perfume penetrating her nostrils. Her heart felt stifled and unusually hurt.

With that thought, she wanted He Jichen even farther away. She pointed out the door and said, “Leave, you!”

He Jichen furrowed his brows dejectedly and didn’t move.

The next second, Ji Yi grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him. “Leave!”

“I’ll leave, I’ll leave…” yielded He Jichen, when he saw her throwing a tantrum.

Just as he retreated back to the bedroom, the doorbell rang.

He Jichen figured it was the staff delivering the cocktail he ordered, so he quickly passed through the living room, walked over to the door, and opened it.

It wasn’t the hotel attendant; it was Chen Bai.

He Jichen’s eyes instantly became cold.

Chen Bai smiled while carrying dozens of bags in his hands and raised them with some effort. “Mr. He, here are the thousand bottles of correction fluid Miss Ji wanted.”

He Jichen didn’t make a sound but glanced into the room as if to tell Chen Bai to put the things down then get out.

Chen Bai didn’t dare bring up He Jichen’s coldness, so instead, he smiled politely.

As he entered the room, Chen Bai hadn’t put down the bags yet when Ji Yi stumbled out of the bedroom, hearing the words “correction fluid.” “Where’s the correction fluid?” she cried.

As soon as Chen Bai heard Ji Yi’s voice, his back became numb.

Chen Bai was afraid she would be the same as she was downstairs in the hall just now and cling onto him again. His fingers shivered in fear, so he carelessly tossed the bags onto the floor then swiftly retreated to the door, behind He Jichen.

The bags had no fastening, so with Chen Bai’s toss, the correction fluid sprayed across the floor.

When Ji Yi saw this, she stared at the correction fluid on the floor for a while as though she was trying to figure something out. Then she stumbled over to the mess.

When He Jichen pulled the covers over Ji Yi, he took off her high heels.

She also wasn’t wearing shoes when she ran out of the bedroom.

He Jichen furrowed his brows as he stared at her bare feet on the ice-cold floorboards. Then he walked over to the wardrobe, grabbed a pair of room slippers and rushed over to the woman crouched on the ground in front of the pile of correction fluid.

“Xiao Yi, put on the slippers,” said He Jichen as he crouched down, grabbed Ji Yi’s ankles and put the slippers on for her.

Ji Yi’s full attention was on the correction fluid, so she didn’t even notice there was now a pair of slippers on her feet.

She casually picked up two bottles of correction fluid, removed the lids, and shook them forcefully for a moment. Then she tilted her head and looked over at He Jichen.

About five minutes later, she charged into his body just like she did on the bed earlier.

It seemed like she was looking for something as she sniffed around his body for some time. Then she stopped at his left arm. “Mhm, it’s here…”

He Jichen let out an “Mhm?” He was just about to ask her what she meant when Ji Yi raised the correction fluid and squeezed some onto He Jichen’s arm.

Chen Bai stood at the door with his eyes wide open.

That was an extremely expensive, handmade suit… ruined just like that by Miss Ji…

With no clue just how much money she wasted by ruining the suit, Ji Yi stared at the white patch on He Jichen’s arm and cracked a smile. “If you just fix it… things will be like before…”

Chapter 373: Their Second Time (3)

He Jichen had a tinge of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so when Ji Yi put the correction fluid on his clothes, he suddenly furrowed his brows. The thought of taking off his clothes came to mind.

But before he could move, he saw her smile like a child as she stared at the correction fluid on his arm.

Even though he didn’t understand what she meant by her drunken shenanigans, he could feel that she was truly happy. Without any hesitation, he gave up taking his clothes off.

Her gaze was still fixated on his arm. She stared and stared as the smile faded from her lips. “It doesn’t seem like it’s enough, I can still smell it…”

As she said this, she raised the correction fluid and applied it to his arm again.

Even though He Jichen didn’t understand why she was doing this, he figured that he might as well leave her be since she was playing so happily and his clothes were already ruined.

Ji Yi used about a dozen bottles of correction fluid and painted He Jichen’s entire sleeve white before she finally stopped. She lowered her head and put her nose to He Jichen’s arm.

The correction fluid hadn’t dried yet, so the tip of her nose was smeared with the white fluid. She didn’t notice it in the slightest but kept trying her hardest to sniff the sleeve. After she confirmed that she could no longer smell the perfume on He Jichen, she smiled foolishly. “This time, it’s really fixed…”

She spoke so incoherently and He Jichen tried to listen on in confusion, but when he saw her smile, he felt more at ease.

But her happiness only lasted three seconds as a gloominess crept up to her brows. “That’s not right. I can still smell it…”

“What can you smell?” asked He Jichen curiously.

Ji Yi didn’t bother answering He Jichen because she was completely lost in her own thoughts. Then she directed her nose towards other areas of his body and sniffed.

“It’s here and here… It’s here too…”

Every time she smelled the scent of Xia Yuan’s perfume on He Jichen’s body, she tried to cover up the spot using correction fluid.

Soon after, He Jichen’s black suit was entirely covered in white correction fluid.

But Ji Yi had no intention of giving up. Her nose dove at He Jichen’s neck, ear, face, and hair.

After applying so much correction fluid, how can I still smell that woman’s perfume?

Annoyed, Ji Yi pouted, grabbed a few bottles and directed them at He Jichen with no concept of right and wrong.

Chen Bai stood at the door and drew a cold breath of air as he said meekly, “Mr…”

Before Chen Bai could finish saying “He,” He Jichen swept him a threatening look to shut him up.

Chen Bai was so frightened that he swiftly shut up, and all he could do was stare blankly at He Jichen affectionately indulging Ji Yi. He let Ji Yi apply correction fluid little by little on his handsome hair and refined face.

If Chen Bai didn’t treasure his life, he would’ve pulled out his phone and taken a photo that second. He wanted to take a photo for YC Corp and all their business partners to see Mr. He, who they deeply respected, actually looking like this in front of a woman!

Ji Yi finally stopped when He Jichen’s entire face was covered in correction fluid.

She turned her head and sniffed He Jichen left and right, front and back, and all around, just to confirm that she couldn’t smell the perfume anymore. That was when she gave a satisfied smile. “This time, it’s really fixed…”

Chapter 374: Their Second Time (4)

After she said that, Ji Yi seemed tired and done with messing around, so she instantly calmed down.

The smile didn’t disappear from her lips though, and a tinge of warmth came over He Jichen’s eyes, watching her smiling face.

He stared at her for a while, but seeing that she stopped acting up, he turned his head. “Call a female attendant to help her get into the shower,” said He Jichen to Chen Bai, who was standing at the door.

…

After the attendant helped Ji Yi into the bathroom, He Jichen grabbed his bathrobe from the wardrobe and entered the other bathroom in the living room.

His head and face were completely covered in correction fluid which wasn’t easy to wash off. After he cleaned himself up with much difficulty, he casually wrapped himself in a bathrobe and stood in front of the sink. He grabbed a towel and was just about to dry his hair when he heard the attendant’s restless voice through the locked bathroom doors. “Miss Ji, don’t run. Miss Ji, be careful…”

After using so much effort to get her to take a shower and quiet down, she can’t possibly be acting up again, right?

He Jichen’s fingers trembled and without thinking twice, he tossed the towel into the sink. He pulled the door open and rushed out after hastily tying up his bathrobe.

A trail of correction fluid was scattered from the coffee table all the way to the bedroom.

Why did she grab the correction fluid again?

Just as He Jichen furrowed his brows in curiosity, he heard the sound of the attendant in the restroom. “Miss Ji, be careful not to fall over!”

As the attendant’s voice rang out, a “bang!” was heard as though something had slid to the ground.

He Jichen shivered violently for a second. He couldn’t care less about whether Ji Yi was wearing any clothes as he leaped into the bedroom and pushed the bathroom door open with one hand.

“Xiao——” He Jichen cried out just that word when he caught sight of the woman crouched in a drenched bathrobe.

She had her back to him, so he couldn’t see her expression clearly. “The correction fluid can obviously fix some mistakes, but after using so much of it in the bathroom, how is the stench still in this room…” mumbled Ji Yi endlessly.

The anxious attendant stood to one side. Just as she was flustered trying to figure out what to do, she noticed He Jichen from the corner of her eye then ran over to him like he was her savior. “Mr. He, Miss Ji was well-behaved when I started to help her take a shower just now, but for some reason, she suddenly started to act up. She grabbed a bunch of correction fluid and covered the entire bathroom with it…”

He Jichen didn’t wait for the attendant to finish talking but pointed at the door as if to tell her to leave first.

After the attendant left, He Jichen walked over to Ji Yi.

Before he could reach her, he heard her mutter his name. “He Jichen, do you know that you upset me…”

He Jichen’s footsteps came to a sudden stop.

He wasn’t stupid. When she drank so much, he knew she must’ve had a lot on her mind. He just never imagined that he was the one who upset her.

He Jichen silently stared at Ji Yi’s curled-up body for some time with no clue how he upset her. In the end, he figured there was no use thinking about it as he snuck out of the bathroom. He looked for his cell phone and gave Chen Bai a call.

After he hung up, He Jichen returned to the bathroom.

Ji Yi must’ve been tired out from acting up for so long because when he carried her out of the bathroom, she merely fought back for a moment then stopped struggling altogether.
