Bab 346: Ji Yi, Will You Trust Me? (6)

Will you trust me?

He Jichen's voice sounded distant in both time and space; the words didn't reach Ji Yi until a long while after.

She kept her gaze on his body until the second he finished speaking. With an obviously blank look, she fluttered her eyelashes then returned to her frozen state. Her mind was blank, and aside from staring right at him, she had no other reaction.

He didn't say another word and neither did she. He stood unflinchingly on the spot, gazing at her.

The room was overwhelmingly silent and the overcast weather outside started to gradually brighten. The skies in the east glowed red.

It wasn't clear how long the two of them stared quietly at each other like that; Ji Yi stood there until her legs were numb. When the rims of her eyes became a little sore, her pitch-black pupils pulsed gently. Her thoughts started to circle around what He Jichen said.
