"Xiao Yi... did you and Brother He know each other back then?"
He Jichen suddenly stopped knocking on the door. It took several seconds before he heard what Ji Yi said. Her voice was very quiet and smooth without any fluctuation: "I don't know you."
…
Inside the dormitory.
Lin Ya's tone when she spoke was full of regret: "I thought you and Brother He would know each other. I really want to know what he was like in high school..."
Ji Yi didn't answer.
Lin Ya continued: "But, Xiaoyi, Brother He is so good that he must be a popular figure in school. Did you hear anything about him when you were in school?"
This time, Ji Yi didn't pause like before and replied very quickly: "I don't pay much attention to him."
"Oh, that's it..." Lin Ya probably could tell that she couldn't find out anything about He Jichen from Ji Yi, so she shut up in silence.
The room was quiet for a while. Lin Ya, who had finished putting on makeup, suddenly spoke again as if she thought of something before getting up: "By the way, Xiaoyi, Brother He called me two days ago and told me that today In the evening, a friend of his held an open-air party in Suyuan and invited many big names in the film and television industry. He said, we are all acting students. We can go there and meet people. It may be helpful in the future. You go ?"
She wished she would never have any more interactions with He Jichen in her life. How could she take the initiative to attend a party with him there
Ji Yi spoke almost reflexively and replied to Lin Ya's words: "No..."
After the words were settled, Ji Yi realized that he had lost his composure slightly, and hurriedly calmed down his tone and added: "... I have other things to do tonight."
Lin Ya: "Is the matter important? If it's not important, just push it away and come with me. We can finally get in touch with people in the circle. It's such a pity that we missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Thank you, Lin Ya, I appreciate your kindness, but I really want to go..." Before Ji Yi could say the next words, there was an orderly knock on the door of the dormitory.
Lin Ya, who was closer to the door, quickly stood up and opened the door. When she saw He Jichen standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Brother He, why are you coming up here?" Did you pick me up?"
He Jichen didn't say anything. He leaned against the door with a calm expression and did not enter the dormitory.
Ji Yi heard Lin Ya's words and knew that the person who came was He Jichen. She stared at the book intently, pretending to be so fascinated that she didn't notice anyone coming, and didn't even look at the door.
Lin Ya was afraid that He Jichen would be impatient with waiting, so she quickly packed up: "Brother He, let's go."
He Jichen still didn't speak, just nodded lightly and stood up straight. When he was about to turn around and leave, the corner of his eye drifted towards where Ji Yi was sitting. Before his eyes fell on the girl, he Attention was drawn to the trash can on her desk.
Although she used other garbage to cover it up, he could still clearly see the milk tea inside.
The seal was intact, as if he had just thrown it into the trash can without even taking a sip.
Lin Ya took two steps toward the door, stopped again, and turned to look at Ji Yi: "Xiao Yi, you really don't want to go with me..."
Before Lin Ya finished asking, He Jichen, who had never spoken since he was standing at the door of the dormitory, suddenly said in a cold tone: "Not everyone can go to the party tonight, don't make any mess. Hello everyone!”
