Ji Yi didn't think too much and walked toward him calmly and naturally on her high heels. However, when she was about to walk in front of him, she saw someone she didn't want to see.
Her steps suddenly stopped, and her fingertips subconsciously tightened the wine glass in her palm.
One second He Jichen called Ji Yi over, and the next second he was distracted by what Mr. Li standing next to him said.
He held the wine glass in one hand and tilted his head slightly. While listening to Mr. Li's words carefully, he said "hmm" to him from time to time to show respect.
After about a minute, he realized that the girl who was only twenty meters away from him had not yet appeared beside him, so he turned his head slightly and looked in the direction where Ji Yi was standing.
The girl stopped about seven or eight meters away from him, staring straight at a place on his right, motionless.
What's wrong with her
He Jichen frowned slightly. He was about to turn around and say "Sorry" to Mr. Li who was still chattering to her, and walked towards Ji Yi. However, before his eyes returned, she seemed to notice that someone was looking at her. She moved her gaze to his face and met his gaze. She was stunned for a few seconds before she seemed to wake up and raised her feet again and walked towards him.
It's just that her steps didn't have the calmness when he first called her over, and her speed also seemed a bit slow and hesitant.
She obviously has something on her mind...
Although He Jichen was still chatting with Mr. Li, his thoughts became a little absent-minded, and his attention drifted to Ji Yi from time to time.
When the girl was about to walk up to him, He Jichen politely stopped talking to Mr. Li and introduced Ji Yi one by one to the circle of people standing around.
The people who can stand side by side with He Jichen and allow him to patiently socialize are all extraordinary characters. On weekdays, most of them are surrounded by others, but when these people greeted He Jichen after introducing Ji Yi, His attitude seemed very natural and friendly.
Ji Yi knew that they only paid attention to her because of He Jichen's sake. She kept her best smile and clinked glasses with each of them and exchanged greetings.
However, when He Jichen finally introduced Mr. Sun, who was standing on his right, Ji Yi did not look at the introduced person politely like before, but gently lowered his eyelids.
After He Jichen finished introducing Mr. Sun, Ji Yi waited for a few seconds before raising his eyelids and curling his lips at Mr. Sun.
She had laughed countless times in her life, but this time it was the most uncomfortable for her.
"Hello." Ji Yi managed to speak with great effort. She only said hello, but she didn't add a polite greeting like she just said hello to others.
"Hello, Ji Yi, long time no see." Mr. Sun's tone was much more familiar than Ji Yi's.
Someone beside him couldn't help but said: "Mr. Sun, it turns out you know Miss Ji."
"Not only do we know each other, but we were also very familiar with each other..." Mr. Sun replied, looking at Ji Yi with a smile: "... Tell me, is it Ji Yi?"
Ji Yi clearly felt that her smile was a little stiff. She actually didn't want to take Mr. Sun's words, but she was afraid of losing He Jichen's face, so she could only hold back the displeasure in her heart and reluctantly said: "Yes."
"This world is really small, you should have a good drink!" Mr. Sun said, passing the wine glass in front of Ji Yi.
