Chapter 13 It's Impossible for Me and Him (3)
Accompanied by his father's voice, He Jichen turned his head and looked over.
The gazes of the two collided unexpectedly.
Ji Yi's fingertips trembled suddenly, and in the next second, she tried her best to restrain herself, and turned her gaze to her father in the most natural posture.
My father thought that Ji Yi was curious about why He Jichen appeared at home, so he explained the reason: "It's your mother. I met Ji Chen by chance a few days ago, and only then did I know that he was also in BJ. When you were studying at your grandmother's house in Sioux City, But I have troubled you, Auntie He, I just came back today, so I definitely want to invite Ji Chen to my house."
Ji Yi knew that Auntie He was referring to He Jichen's mother, and she was a very good friend with her mother.
Back when she was studying in Sucheng, because her grandmother was getting old, her parent meeting was held by He Jichen's mother.
At that time, because of her, the relationship between the two families was still very close.
After she graduated from high school, she returned to BJ in a hurry because of He Jichen, and after her grandmother passed away, the family never went back to Sucheng, and the contact with the He family was limited to the holidays. greeting.
The father who had said a long series of words, seeing Ji Yi standing there stupidly without saying hello to He Jichen, couldn't help but said again with a bit of reproach: "Xiao Yi, when you were in Sioux City, you didn't miss a lot. Run to He's house, and if I remember correctly, you and Ji Chen are still in the same class, why don't you even say hello now?"
Ji Yi was afraid that her father would find out that there was a problem between herself and He Jichen. Even though she was unwilling in every possible way, she still tried her best to remain calm after her father's words settled down, and politely said to He Jichen: "You Alright, long time no see."
Probably because of his father's presence, He Jichen didn't ignore her, his voice was polite, mixed with his unique calmness: "Long time no see."
He seemed to be afraid that he would have to greet her next time, and as soon as he finished greeting her, he immediately turned to his father and chatted about the topic before she went downstairs.
The two have been separated for so many years, it's normal to be a little alienated, my father didn't care too much, he replied to He Jichen's words, and continued to chat with him.
Ji Yi, who was left on the sidelines, lowered her eyes and didn't linger too much in the living room, she went to the kitchen to help her mother.
While washing the vegetables, Ji Yi suddenly remembered that the greeting she and He Jichen just now seemed to be the first time he and she had spoken since the farewell four years ago.
She thought, if it wasn't for her home, if it wasn't for her father, maybe he and her wouldn't even have the first conversation.
...
At dinner, Ji Yi and He Jichen sat side by side at the seat arranged by their mother.
The two of them were very close, and the breath from He Jichen's body drifted into Ji Yi's breath from time to time, which made her feel more stressed. The hands holding the chopsticks felt a little uncomfortable, and she picked up vegetables several times, but she didn't pick them up. .
Fortunately, her parents' attention was all on He Jichen, and they tried to chat with him after finding out what to talk about, so no one noticed her gaffe.
One meal almost used up all of Ji Yi's energy. After eating, she didn't want to stay at home for a second, and she lied to her mother that something happened to her classmate and she needed her help, so she hurried out of the house .
At the gate of the community, Ji Yi was just about to hail a taxi, only to realize that she was in a hurry to go out without her coat or wallet.
