nIn the kitchen, when He Jichen turned around to get a spoon, he saw Ji Yi standing at the door.

nHe moved his lips, preparing to say

"You're up

" before he realized that in this very moment, he was supposed to be He Yuguang. He swiftly turned his head, turned down the heat for the congee, then walked over to Ji Yi.

nJi Yi snapped back to her senses and cried,

"Yuguang Ge.

"

nHe Jichen didn't say anything but reached his hand out and touched Ji Yi's forehead. When he was certain that her temperature was back to normal, he pulled out his phone from his pocket, typed some words, and handed the phone to Ji Yi.

"Food is almost done. Go freshen up.

"

nJi Yi shot him a smile and replied with a

"Mm.

" She stood there for a while before heading back to the bedroom.

nAfter she freshened up and returned, the food was already sitting neatly on the dining table.

nSince He Yuguang couldn't speak, Ji Yi practically never spoke during meals ever since they started eating together when they were young. Till this day, she still kept the same habit.

nThe dining room was unusually quiet. Besides the crisp sound of the chopsticks touching the bowls, there was barely any other noise.

nAfter the meal, Ji Yi got up and was just about to clean up when

"He Yuguang

" stopped her. He typed a string of words into his phone:

"You don't need to tidy up. I hired a worker to come over; they'll be here soon.

"

nHe Jichen showed the phone to Ji Yi then pulled it back and deleted the previous message. He started to write another message:

"Go get some rest first, then take the medicine.

"

n...

nEven though Ji Yi no longer had a high temperature, she hadn't completely recovered from her cold, so she obediently took the medicine as instructed. It kicked in quickly so she felt drowsy and fell asleep again.

nWhen she woke up, it was already evening.

nJi Yi stepped out of the bedroom, but instead of seeing He Yugugang, she stumbled on the worker he hired.

nThe worker saw her come out and immediately smiled,

"Miss, you're up?

"

nJi Yi let out a

"mm,

" then scanned her surroundings.

nThe worker probably guessed what she was looking for, so before she could speak, the worker said,

"Miss, mister is not at home. He left in the afternoon, but before he left, he told me he had some business to attend to, so he had to step out. He won't be having dinner at home, but please wait for him.

"

nJi Yi let out an

"Oh

" to signal that she understood but she didn't say anything further.

n...

nAfter dinner, Ji Yi, who stayed at home the entire day, went downstairs and took a walk around the neighborhood. When she came back and changed into a pair of slippers at the entrance, Ji Yi saw He Yuguang's shoes.

nHaving changed into slippers, Ji Yi walked into the living room to coincidentally find the worker coming out of the kitchen with a cup of hot tea. Ji Yi asked,

"Has Yuguang Ge come back?

"

nThe worker replied,

"Yes. He's in the study.

"

nJi Yi's eyes were drawn to the tray in the worker's hands. Remembering that she hadn't thanked He Yuguang since she woke up, she then said,

"Give it to me.

"

nThe worker hurriedly handed Ji Yi the tray.

nJi Yi waited for the worker to enter the kitchen before she turned around and headed for the study.

nSince He Yuguang couldn't speak, Ji Yi politely knocked on the door and pushed it open. She glanced over at

"He Yuguang

" and cried,

"Yuguang Ge.

"

n

"He Yuguang

" sat behind the big, wide desk and stared unwaveringly at the computer screen with no response as though he hadn't heard Ji Yi.

nJi Yi thought he was concentrating hard on important work, so she didn't say anything to disturb him. She quietly walked over and put down the hot tea while incidentally catching a glimpse of He Yuguang's computer screen from the corner of her eye.
