At first, Ji Yi didn't pay attention to what He Jichen riting on the , but just as she got up to fish out the beef balls from the hot pot, she saw hi fingers Out of utter curiosity, she looked over at his slender fingers as she sat down

He looked unusually serious as he slorote stroke by stroke until he wrote the word "love" By then, the first as already covered by condensation

Did He Jichen want to write "I love you"?

Before that thought could settle, she caught sight of the third word He Jichen wrote
