A Billion Stars Can't Amount to You

Seeing as Ji Yi didn’t invite him in, He Jichen then looked down again at his phone.

He quickly deleted the sentence he started typing when she didn’t open the door immediately. Then, he started to type a few new words: “May I come in?”

Because it wasn’t a whiteboard, when He Jichen finished typing this, he casually sent it to Ji Yi.

The vibration in her palms brought Ji Yi back to her senses. She looked down at the phone and realized that it really was “He Yuguang” standing at her door. Where were her manners? She hadn’t invited him in yet.

Ji Yi hastily opened the door and said, slightly embarrassed, “Yuguang Ge, my bad. Please come in.”

Ji Yi shut the doors behind “He Yuguang” and was about to hop back to the bedroom when “He Yuguang” looked like he had a sudden thought. He stopped walking, put his phone in his pocket, reached over to lead Ji Yi by the arm, and walked her over to the sofa in the hotel room.

After Ji Yi sat down, she quickly pointed down at the empty space on the sofa. “Yuguang Ge, take a seat too.”

He Jichen gave a gentle nod and put down the two bags in his hands. Then, without any warning, he crouched in front of Ji Yi.

Ji Yi jumped in shock at his sudden movement and instinctively cried, “Yuguang Ge!”

He Jichen was as silent as ever when he reached his hand over and grabbed one of her ankles as if he hadn’t heard what she said.

He glanced down and realized that there were no scars on this slender, fair ankle, so he quickly reached for the other ankle.

When he grabbed the obviously red, swollen ankle, his handsome brows furrowed.

That was when Ji Yi realized “He Yuguang” was checking her injury.

Ji Yi’s heart warmed as she quickly explained, “Yuguang Ge, my ankle is fine now. When I woke up today, it was a lot less painful than yesterday.”

He Jichen glanced up at her and heard what Ji Yi said, but he didn’t let go of her ankle. He looked down and carefully examined all around her ankle. Even though he never studied medicine, he knew basic first aid. After he confirmed that she hadn’t injured her bones or muscles, he finally let go of her ankle. He glanced over at the scrapes on her lower leg, then got up and sat by Ji Yi on the sofa.

Ji Yi, who hadn’t eaten breakfast, was already hungry. She waited for “He Yuguang” to sit before she said, “Yuguang Ge, you haven’t had lunch yet, right? I’ll call to order some food...”

As Ji Yi said this, she grabbed the menu on the coffee table by the sofa and handed it to “He Yuguang.” “Yuguang Ge, take a look at what you want to eat!”

He Jichen took the menu, flipped through it a little, and tapped the “Stir-fried beef with flat rice noodles” twice.

Ji Yi picked up the phone and called the front desk to place her order.

Aside from what “He Yuguang” wanted, she also asked for soup, a cup of coffee, and a plate of fruit for him.

After she put the phone down, she turned to stare directly at one of the bags “He Yuguang” put down on the coffee table.

She wasn’t sure if she was seeing things, but she felt like the expression in “He Yuguang”‘s eyes was complex.
