Chapter 689: Yousre the Joy of my Adolescence and the Adolescent Who I Liked (29) (2/2)

It was just a shame he didn't understand it...

Ji Yi silently stared at He Jichen.

It wasn't clear how long the silence lasted in the room. The alcohol had completely taken over Ji Yi, but before her mind became even hazier, He Jichen suddenly broke the silence in the room. ”Xiao Yi, then if I had to describe you with one phrase, do you know what I would use?”

Ji Yi didn't say anything but stared unwaveringly at He Jichen's profile.

As he stared out the window, He Jichen's eyelids fluttered lightly then moved his lips. ”My name has your surname in it.”

My name has your surname in it... Such a beautiful line. It sounded so similar to what people said during proposals - ”With my name, I'll give you your surname.”

Why did I only find out about these words today? Why did I only just learn how he's been secretly protecting me before we even got close...?

Ji Yi's eyes started to ache and it felt like something was lodged in her throat. After a lot of effort, she was able to speak again. ”He Jichen, no matter where you go, I hope you're happy.”

He Jichen's fingers trembled gently for a moment and an indescribable pain churned in the depths of his heart.

It was time to say goodbye...

Like before, he stared out the window and said with a soft voice, ”You too. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you get what you want and let go of what you can't have.”

Tears started to well up in Ji Yi's eyes. She naturally shut her eyes and downed the full bottle of beer in her hand.

When she put the bottle down, she spoke again. ”He Jichen.”

When he heard her voice, He Jichen tore his gaze from the window, turned his head and looked at Ji Yi.
