Chapter 7: Entrapping the God (7) (2/2)

There were often bursts of rain during the October evenings in Beijing. Ji Yi promptly got up and ran towards the dorms.

Just as she reached the front doors, Ji Yi saw Bo He. She wanted to call out to her, but then she saw a familiar silhouette.

It was He Jichen. He was holding an umbrella as he dropped Lin Ya off at the dorm.

Ji Yi ignored the increasingly heavy rain and suddenly stopped walking. She observed everything around her, took a few steps back, and hid behind a lamp post.

He Jichen and Lin Ya walked slowly. After Bo He and a few girls from that night's dinner said their goodbyes and ran upstairs, the two of them walked towards the dorm steps.

Both He Jichen and Lin Ya came to a stop.

Lin Ya didn't seem to be in a rush to go back to her dorm block, so she turned around, looked at He Jichen, and said something.

As she was quite a distance away and the sound of the rain was quite loud, Ji Yi couldn't hear what they were talking about. But from what she could see, they were happily chatting away, judging by Lin Ya's increasingly radiant smile.

Ji Yi's clothes were completely drenched. Since the incoming winds were so chilly, they made her whole body shiver.

Just when Ji Yi couldn't take it any longer, Lin Ya finally walked up the steps in front of the dorm.

After Lin Ya disappeared into the dorm, He Jichen continued to stand there for a while, holding his umbrella. Then, he turned around as though he was about to leave.
