Ji Yi instinctively turned to the source of the sound—it came from an Audi she hadn't realized had pulled up next to her.

Ji Yi was still afraid that her mom would call He Jichen's mom, so as she curiously looked over at the Audi with its windows down, she continued to emphasize over the phone, ”Ma, I'm serious. I'd rather be stuck with anyone but him!”

Just before Ji Yi caught a glimpse of the silhouette in the driver's seat—she had no time to tell if it was a man or woman—the car suddenly sped off with a jump. A cold gust of wind whistled by, forcing her to take two steps back.

The Audi was so fast that she couldn't even catch the license plate before it disappeared from sight.

Ji Yi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but that Audi seemed awfully familiar...

Ji Yi furrowed her brows. All of a sudden, a sense of familiarity came over her.

Over the phone, her mother kept rambling on. Seeing as Ji Yi wasn't responding, she spoke a little louder, ”Xiao Yi?”

Ji Yi hurriedly snapped back to her senses and continued to chat with her mum for a while before hanging up.

As she got into the taxi she booked, she stared out at the glistening night through the window. All of a sudden, Ji Yi realized how that Audi made her feel. It was the same way she felt four years ago when she confessed to He Jichen that night before he abruptly dragged her into the alleyway.

...

The Audi sped really far off before it came to an emergency stop by the side of the road.

A car coming from the opposite direction turned on its headlights as it drove closer to him. The eye-piercing headlights coincidentally flashed across the Audi's windshield and illuminated He Jichen's face.

He barely showed any emotions on his face as he silently leaned back into his seat. He stared dead straight at the road ahead with a dull expression in his eyes when a light momentarily flickered in his eyes. It was as if he thought of something, then reverted to thinking about nothing at all.
