A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You

I can’t help but want to kiss him and get intimate with him...

That thought just crossed Ji Yi’s mind when a ”ding dong!” notification came from her phone.

The elevator doors opened, stopping all of Ji Yi’s wild thoughts. She rushed over to the door, fumbled to open the door and headed back to her own room.

That’s so weird. I’m clearly not a perverted person. Why am I having such X-rated thoughts after I realized I’m in love with He Jichen?

After she took a shower and went through her skincare routine, she laid in bed but she couldn’t help but grab her phone and send He Jichen a text: ”Home yet?”

”Yeah,” replied He Jichen within seconds.

”It’s late. Get some rest.”

”You too.”

”Mhm, night!”

”Goodnight.”

Not knowing what to say next, Ji Yi replied with a ”goodnight” emoji.

He Jichen replied to her with a smiling face emoji.

Ji Yi sent another emoji.

Not long after, the two of them covered the screen with emojis. Ji Yi couldn’t help but burst out laughing. ”Alright!! I really have to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow. Bye, goodnight!”

”Sweet dreams.”

This time, Ji Yi didn’t reply to He Jichen’s message and turned off the bedroom lights. She put down the phone and shut her eyes.

-

Outside, He Jichen quietly smoked while leaning on the hood of his car. When he saw the lights in Ji Yi’s room turned off, he put out the cigarette between his fingers then chucked the butt into the trash and got into the car.

In the car, he sat there staring at his phone. Having just texted Ji Yi, the corners of his lips curved into a smile then he tossed his phone aside, started up the car and left.

At seven o’clock, Ji Yi climbed out of bed, ate breakfast and freshened up. Then she picked up the suitcase she packed the day before and headed downstairs.

As she came out of the elevator and left her apartment building, Ji Yi was about to call a taxi to get to school when she heard someone calling her, ”Miss Ji!”

Ji Yi turned her head and saw Chen Bai in a blue suit. He was standing by a car as she shot him a smile.

Through the car window, Ji Yi noticed that He Jichen was sitting inside, staring at his laptop and typing away on the keyboard.

He Jichen probably heard Chen Bai’s voice, so when his fingers were done typing, he turned his head and noticed Ji Yi looking at him. When their eyes met, he waved at her to come over.

Seeing He Jichen do so, Ji Yi felt excited. Her legs made a run for it as she rushed over to He Jichen’s car.

”Good morning, Miss Ji.” Chen Bai waited for Ji Yi to come closer then took her suitcase for her. ”Miss Ji, are you going to school? Mr. He and I were just about to head to the office. We can drop you off on the way.”

With that, Chen Bai pulled the car door open for Ji Yi.

”Thank you.” Ji Yi then got into the car. She looked over at He Jichen who was typing away at his laptop again. ”Good morning.”

”Good morning.” He Jichen stared unwaveringly at the computer screen.

Chen Bai got into the car himself.

Ji Yi couldn’t help but ask, ’Why did you guys come by and not give me a heads up?”

”It was Mr. He who called me and asked that I drive here to pick him up,” answered Chen Bai honestly.

He Jichen asked Chen Bai to come over but there’s only one car, so how did He Jichen get from his place to mine?

Ji Yi turned to look at He Jichen in confusion.
