The covers were a little cold. It was obvious He Jichen had been gone for some time.

Ji Yi instantly woke up and bolted up in bed. She picked up her phone to check the time. It was barely five in the morning.

It's so early in the morning. If He Jichen's not asleep, where did he go?

Could he be in the bathroom?

With that thought, Ji Yi removed the covers and immediately glanced at the bathroom. When she didn't see He Jichen, she walked out of the bedroom.

It wasn't bright out yet and not a single light was on in the hallway, so it was quite dark. Ji Yi instinctively wanted to reach out to hit the switch on the wall, but just as she raised her fingers, she caught a glimpse of some light from the study nearby.

Is He Jichen in the study?

Ji Yi withdrew her raised arm and walked towards the study.

The study door wasn't shut and the floor lamp was on. Ji Yi stood at the door and immediately saw He Jichen sitting at the desk.

She instinctively wanted to cry

"He Jichen

" and ask if he had urgent business to do, seeing as he came over to the study so early in the morning. However, the words hadn't reached her throat when she sensed that the atmosphere in the study was a little off.

Ji Yi gulped back the words she wanted to say and calmly stared at He Jichen.

The man looked very calm sitting at his desk in front of his bright laptop monitor. He looked like he was working, but there were obvious marks from him pursing his lips.

She had no idea what he was looking at on the laptop, but his fingers were trembling on the mouse as though he was mad. He also seemed upset. In the end, the pain entered his eyes and was evident in his brows.

Staring at He Jichen like this, Ji Yi felt a dull pain surfacing as though something had viciously clutched her heart.

She stood at the door of the study then took two steps back to the bedroom. After she composed herself a little, she cried,

"He Jichen?

"

As her voice fell, she pretended to look groggy, as though she had just woken up.

She walked to the door of the study, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

"He Jichen?

"

After she cried He Jichen's name again, Ji Yi headed back to the door of the study.

She clearly caught a glimpse of He Jichen, who looked like he was seriously caught off guard. He hurried raised his hands and closed the laptop then got up in a panic and walked over to the door.

When he walked up to her, the sense of panic he exhibited before completely disappeared when she suddenly showed up at the door of the study. It even didn't show in his voice, which sounded warm and low.

"Why are you up?

"

"Maybe last night's food was too salty since I'm really thirsty...

" replied Ji Yi weakly as she glanced into the study. She pretended she hadn't discovered anything and asked,

"...Why are you up so early? Do you have some kind of important business to attend to?

"

He Jichen lowered his gaze and didn't look into Ji Yi's eyes. He let out a soft

"Mhm.

"

It seemed like he didn't want to linger on this topic for too long, so he quickly said,

"I'll go downstairs and pour you some water. Head back to the bedroom. Don't catch a cold.

"

Ji Yi obediently nodded and cheerfully said

"Alright.

" Then she turned around and headed back to the bedroom.
