He Jichen instantly froze.

His mind was completely blank for half a minute before he realized what Ji Yi just said.

She took the morning after pill...

She took the morning after pill...

She took the morning after pill...

Those six simple words repeatedly echoed in his mind before he realized what they meant.

As there were too many risks related to the night they spent together, Ji Yi didn't want to face the same consequences as four years ago, so she took the pill right after they had sex... To her, that night really was a mistake, an accident...

He Jichen sat quietly in his chair, staring at the cold tea before him with a blank, unreadable expression on his face.

He could clearly see the radiant sky through the window, yet in that very moment, it felt like darkness was going to come crashing down on him.

In the tea house, there were no other sounds aside from the faint sound of singing.

After Ji Yi lost track of the number of times she heard the words "I would rather stay within your radius," she couldn't take it anymore. Her head bolted up, and without looking at He Jichen's face, she said, "I've said what I wanted to say. If you have nothing else to add, I'll be off then."

With his eyes lowered, He Jichen didn't move an inch and looked as though he hadn't heard anything she said.

Everything would've been alright if this particular song wasn't playing, but upon hearing this song, Ji Yi realized that she felt worse. She was afraid she was going to cry uncontrollably any moment, so she forced herself to hold it in for half a minute in her seat. Seeing as He Jichen wasn't going to say anything, she took this as his silent acceptance. She got up and left without turning around or saying goodbye. Ji Yi darted out of the tea house.

Chen Bai was sitting on a chair outside the tea house while playing on his phone. When he heard the sound of high heels coming from behind, he immediately turned his head. When he saw Ji Yi hurriedly coming out, he bolted up. "Miss Ji."

Ji Yi heard Chen Bai, but she didn't stop to reply. She didn't even glance at him and darted quickly towards the elevator. Without hesitation, she pressed the elevator button, stepped in, and headed downstairs.

The second after she left the Four Seasons Hotel, Ji Yi's vision was immediately blurred by her tears.

She hurriedly walked over to the side of the road and tried to hail a taxi.

It was only after she got into the car and told the driver her home address that she realized her voice sounded like she was crying.

She pretended as though she hadn't seen the odd look on the driver's face and tried hard to suppress the urge to cry. She raised her hands to wipe the tears from her eyes.

The Four Seasons Hotel was close to her home; the car reached the entrance about fifteen minutes later.

She paid the taxi fare and darted out of the car.

In one breath, she charged into her house, kicked off her shoes, pounced onto her bed and started to cry.

She cried and cried.

She felt like her heart was being brutally strangled by large hands; the pain was unbearable.

How could I have two people in my heart?

How could I be such a fickle woman?

I, like this, am unclean, imperfect, unbalanced. Just who could I ever be worthy of?

If Ji Yi hadn't reunited with He Yuguang, how great would that have been? Then the confused feelings she had from when she was younger would be long gone. If she hadn't met him again, then today, she could've agreed for He Jichen to take responsibility. Then she could go with what her heart wanted and like him, fall in love with him...
