Ji Yi, Will You Trust Me? (9)

Before He Jichen could take two steps, Ji Yi suddenly cried out to him, "He Jichen!"

She's calling me with the same desperation from when we were younger...

Heaven knew just how many times he envisioned her crying his name like that over the past few years.

Every time he stopped to look for her, he turned his head in bewilderment only to see face after face of strangers.

He Jichen's fingers trembled but he didn't stop walking.

He was afraid that this time was a hallucination like every other time, even if she really was behind him.

Ji Yi stared at He Jichen walking further and further away. Then Ji Yi cried even louder, "He Jichen!"

Chen Bai, who was just two steps behind He Jichen, heard Ji Yi's two consecutive cries. Seeing as He Jichen didn't stop, Chen Bai figured that he hadn't heard her and nudged him. "Mr. He, Miss Ji is calling you."
