539 From Here on Out, You Are the Only One in My Heart (39)

He Jichen didn't understand what Ji Yi said. He turned his head and asked "Mhm?"

Ji Yi raised her chin and nodded at He Jichen's instant noodles. "I'm hungry too. You got any more cup noodles?"

"Oh," said He Jichen with realization. He pointed at the cabinet by the office desk and was just about to get up and help Ji Yi retrieve it when she walked over first and opened it herself. She chose her favorite flavor and headed out to boil some water.

He Jichen finished eating and put down his chopsticks. He sat back on the sofa and stared at Ji Yi taking small bites of her noodles. "I'll take you back home later?" he suggested in a flat tone.

Ji Yi came especially for He Jichen, but after she saw the family photo on his keyboard and spoke a white lie...

She never imagined that the white lie would be kind to He Jichen but would dig a hole for her.
