Ji Yi held her breath hard, standing sluggishly like a statue.
In fact, she only stood there for a few seconds, but it felt as complicated and long as a century had passed.
She tried hard to control her emotions and prevent herself from losing control and collapsing. Little by little, she relaxed the grip on her clothes with her fingertips and slowly stood up straight.
She didn't cry or make any noise, or even leave a word. As if He Jichen in front of her didn't exist at all, she turned around and walked toward the entrance of the alley.
She desperately controlled her pace to prevent herself from walking so awkwardly, but she couldn't help but speed up. After she took a few steps, He Jichen behind her said again: "Also, if you can, I I hope you will never appear in front of me again."
Ji Yi's legs weakened and she almost fell to the ground. The next second, she rushed out of the alley.
After running far away in one breath, Ji Yi stopped. As if she didn't feel tired, she stood on the side of the road in a daze for a long time. It wasn't until she noticed someone passing by looking at her with strange eyes that she remembered what was wrong with her. His clothes were torn to pieces by He Jichen.
The words he said flashed through her ears again, and an indescribable pain spread from her heart to her whole body. Ji Yi lowered her eyes and hurried back to the school dormitory.
Because it was almost time to turn off the lights, the roommates had already returned to the dormitory, and when they saw her coming back, they immediately started talking.
"Ji Yi, you went to confess to your male god, did you succeed?"
"Ji Yi, are you officially in love now? Congratulations..."
"Eh? Ji Yi, what happened to your clothes?"
Ji Yi's eyes were sore, but without making a sound, she pushed open the bathroom door, rushed in, locked the door, and turned on the faucet. With the sound of running water, she squatted down and buried her face in her knees, as if she had lost all strength. He sobbed quietly.
Her first love, her innocence, was buried alive like this.
Her love, before it even started, was already defeated.

He Jichen asked Ji Yi never to appear in front of him again, and Ji Yi really never appeared in front of He Jichen again.
As soon as the college entrance examination was over, Ji Yi, who had lived at her grandmother's house since junior high school, did not stay too much in the city that had hosted her entire youth. She directly booked a plane ticket and flew to Beijing, where her parents were.
Time flies like a dog and years run like water. In the blink of an eye, Ji Yi has been in Beijing for four years.
Ji Yi and He Jichen had no contact with each other when they were in the same city. In the past four years, the two people and the two cities were separated by vast distances and there was no intersection at all.

It’s nearly October in Beijing, and the weather is still suffocatingly hot.
Ji Yi just went downstairs to pick up a courier. After standing outside for less than two minutes, he was already covered in sweat.
Ji Yi didn't like the feeling of being sweaty. When he returned to the dormitory, he didn't even unpack the package. He immediately took a bath towel and pajamas and entered the bathroom.
Several roommates were gone, and Ji Yi was the only one in the dormitory. Because she was bored, after she came out of the shower, she dried her hair, climbed into bed and continued to watch the movie she had just finished watching. When the movie ended, it was Ji Yi. When she felt sleepy, she saw no sign of her roommates coming back yet, so she simply put down her phone and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Because she didn't set the alarm clock, Ji Yi slept for a long time. She didn't wake up until her cell phone rang.
