Ji Yi said that out of nowhere, so Chen Bai and Zhuang Yi had no idea what she was saying. Zhuang Yi stopped in her tracks, glanced at Chen Bai then said, ”Xiao Yi...”
Perhaps it was Zhuang Yi who brought her back to her senses or perhaps it was herself. However, before Zhuang Yi could finish, Ji Yi withdrew her gaze from the window, looked over at Chen Bai and Zhuang Yi then calmly said, ”I'm getting out of the car here.”
”Here?” asked Zhuang Yi in bewilderment. Without thinking, she shook her head in disagreement. ”This is quite some distance from your place. You only just got out of the hospital, so it's best if you don't go running off on your own.”
”I'm fine and I don't want to run off. I just want to eat at that restaurant.” Ji Yi pointed at the Thai restaurant out the window.
It's half-past ten, yet she wants to have lunch?
Although Zhuang Yi was confused, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she was still worried so she said, ”Then I'll come with.”
”No thanks. I can go by myself,” replied Ji Yi.
”But...” Zhuang Yi wasn't done talking but Chen Bai, who knew she dined at that restaurant with He Jichen before, stopped her. ”Then Miss Ji, you be careful on your own. If you need anything, call us at any time.”
”Mhm,” replied Ji Yi as she shot a smile at Chen Bai. She then picked up her handbag and reached her hand out to open the car door.
”Xiao Yi...” said Zhuang Yi anxiously. She didn't understand, but Chen Bai shook his head at her and stopped her. In the end, she gave in to Chen Bai and let Ji Yi walk into the Thai restaurant.

It was too early. There wasn't a single customer in the restaurant as Ji Yi entered and was greeted by the waiting staff. She was free to sit wherever she liked, so she chose to sit at the window seat where she and He Jichen sat last time.
The restaurant would start serving food at half-past eleven. Ji Yi wasn't in a hurry, so she silently sat there on her own, waiting.
Since she came so early and waited for so long, the restaurant took particular care with her. At twenty past eleven, the waiter picked up a menu and walked over to her.
