Ji Yi looked down to mask the disappointment in her eyes.

After her reluctance to leave and sadness cleared up, she looked up again and smiled at He Jichen.

"Alright." Ji Yi nodded with her reply with practically no hesitation.

After her voice fell, she realized she replied a little quickly and wasn't the least bit reserved. "I'm a little thirsty," she added hastily.

He Jichen moved aside to let her in.
