I thought we could never get back our lost years, but in the last two months on the production team...
The anxious look he had after I hurt herself to get revenge on Qian Ge...
He kicked out the people Qian Ge bribed and made it so that the entire production team pampered me...
On the night of my birthday, the birthday surprise he gave me...
All the special little things that happened in the past evidently came back little by little...
The people waiting for He Jichen were all impatiently grouped up nearby, but it seemed like he didn't even see them there. He had a blank expression on his face as he patiently waited for Ji Yi.
Beside them, Chen Bai looked at Ji Yi with a strange look on his face then furrowed his brows as he looked at He Jichen.
What's with these two? One called the other, but now they're just standing there stunned like that for half a day. After one turned around, the person who called didn't say anything further... It just doesn't make any sense...
Seeing as Ji Yi still hadn't made a sound, Chen Bai cleared his throat and broke the silence, "Miss Ji, did you call for Mr. He about something?"
After hearing Chen Bai's voice, Ji Yi turned to look at him then realized she must've been daydreaming for too long. She instinctively looked over at He Jichen and opened her mouth, ready to say something to him, but just as the words reached the corner of her mouth, she remembered that Chen Bai was still standing to one side. Then she swallowed the words back into her mouth and turned to look over at Chen Bai again.
He Jichen noticed Ji Yi was looking at Chen Bai, so he also looked over at him.
Chen Bai noticed that the two of them were now staring at him. He was so stunned that he looked down and started to check himself out up and down.
My clothes are normal; there's nothing wrong with me... Why're they looking at me? Before that thought could form in Chen Bai's mind, he heard He Jichen's voice. "You can leave first."
Stunned, Chen Bai reacted quickly when he realized that the two of them were only staring at him just now because he was in their way. Before he could reply with a "Yes," he ran far away and stopped the assistant director, who was just about to rush He Jichen.
He Jichen turned his head until he was satisfied that Chen Bai was far enough away that he wouldn't overhear their conversation. Then he slowly turned around and looked into Ji Yi's eyes.
When he met her eyes, Ji Yi's fingers bended slightly then she moved her lips. "He Jichen, on the night of my birthday, were you serious about what you said to me?"
What did I say? Is it the same question I've been anticipating the answer to?
He Jichen didn't dare take the risk, so he held his breath while looking over at Ji Yi.
As though she was fighting with herself internally, Ji Yi clutched tightly onto her sleeve.
In all these years, he did so many things for me, so does that mean he always cared for me, his friend?
He inflicted the most agonizing pain, but he's also given me the most wonderful warmth. He even helped pave a road for me into the entertainment industry...
At that thought, Ji Yi made up her mind about something and said, "What you said, 'Can we go back to how we were before?'... were you serious about that?"
So, she really did mean to ask about that...
He Jichen tried hard to pull himself together and gently nodded. He was afraid she would feel that he wasn't sincere enough, so he said, "Yeah, I was serious."
Ji Yi blinked at He Jichen and curved the corners of her lips into a smile. "If you were being serious, then let's go back to how things were."
"...as though nothing happened. Let's go back to how things were and continue to be best friends."
