Following his father's voice, He Jichen turned his head and looked over.
The eyes of the two people collided unexpectedly.
Ji Yi's fingertips suddenly trembled. The next second, she tried her best to restrain herself and turned her eyes to her father in the most natural manner.
His father thought that Ji Yi was curious about why He Jichen showed up at home, so he explained the reason: "It's your mother. She met Ji Chen by chance a few days ago and found out that he was also in Beijing. When you were studying at your grandma's house in Suzhou, I'm sorry to bother you, Aunt He, I happen to be back today, and I will definitely invite Ji Chen to my house."
Ji Yi knew that Aunt He in his father's mouth was referring to He Jichen's mother, with whom she was a very good friend.
When she was studying in Su City, because her grandmother was old, He Jichen's mother went to hold parent-teacher conferences.
At that time, the relationship between the two families was still very close because of her.
Later, after she graduated from high school, she hurried back to Beijing because of He Jichen. Later, her grandmother passed away, and their family never returned to Suzhou. Their contact with the He family was limited to holidays. greeting.
The father who had talked a long time saw Ji Yi standing there stupidly without saying hello to He Jichen. He couldn't help but said again with a bit of reproach: "Xiao Yi, when we were in Su City, you were very good. Run to He's house, and if I remember correctly, you and Ji Chen are still classmates, why don't you even say hello now?"
Ji Yi was afraid that her father would find out that there was a problem between her and He Jichen. Even though she was reluctant in her heart, she still tried her best to remain calm after her father finished speaking, and said politely to He Jichen: "You Well, long time no see."
Perhaps because of his father's presence, He Jichen did not ignore her. His voice was polite and mixed with his unique calmness: "Long time no see."
He seemed to be afraid that he would have to chat with her next. As soon as he finished saying hello, he immediately turned to his father and started talking about the topic before she came downstairs.
The two of them had been apart for so many years, and it was normal for them to feel a little alienated. His father didn't pay much attention to it. He replied to He Jichen's words and continued chatting with him.
Ji Yi, who was left alone, lowered his eyes and did not stay in the living room too much. He went to the kitchen to help his mother.
While washing the vegetables, Ji Yi suddenly remembered that the greeting she had just given to He Jichen seemed to be the first conversation between him and her since their farewell four years ago.
She thought, if it weren't for her home, if her father hadn't been there, he might not have even spoken to her for the first time.
…
At dinner, Ji Yi and He Jichen sat side by side at the place arranged by their mother.
The two of them were very close. He Jichen's breath drifted into Ji Yi's nose from time to time, making her feel even more stressed. Her hand holding the chopsticks felt a little uncomfortable. She picked up the food several times without picking it up. .
Fortunately, her parents' attention was focused on He Jichen, and they chatted with him as many topics as possible, so no one noticed her gaffe.
One meal almost consumed all Ji Yi's energy. After the meal, she didn't want to stay at home for a second. She directly lied to her mother and said that something happened to her classmates and she needed her help, and hurriedly ran out of the house. .
When he arrived at the gate of the community, Ji Yigang was about to hail a taxi, but then he realized that he was in a hurry and didn't bring his coat or wallet.
