A Billion Stars Can't Amount to You

He Jichen averted his gaze as he glanced at Cheng Weiwan. “Sorry to trouble you.”

Cheng Weiwan wasn’t pushy with He Jichen like the secretary, but she gave a gentle nod and carried the medical kit with her on her way out of He Jichen’s suite.

When Cheng Weiwan arrived, Ji Yi had only just finished the dinner He Jichen bought her. She was just about to tidy it up when she heard a knock at the door.

She opened the door to see Cheng Weiwan. Ji Yi was stunned for a moment before she opened the door wider and welcomed Cheng Weiwan in.

As she gestured for Cheng Weiwan to take a seat, she walked over to the desk and prepared to tidy up her leftover food.

Cheng Weiwan put down the medical kit and saw Ji Yi moving around, so she walked over to her side and scrambled to clean up the table before she could.

With the wound on her waist, Ji Yi wasn’t as fast as Cheng Weiwan, so all she could do was say, “Thanks.”

Cheng Weiwan shot Ji Yi a smile but didn’t say a word. She took the bag of garbage, walked over to the door and placed it down on the floor. Then she walked into the bathroom and washed her hands. After she came out, she told Ji Yi, “I’m here to check on your wound again.”

“Oh,” responded Ji Yi as she hurriedly took off her top to reveal her waist that Cheng Weiwan bandaged up.

Cheng Weiwan got closer and carefully checked it to confirm that everything was okay. While she was at it, she reapplied some medicine for Ji Yi, bandaged it up, and reminded Ji Yi to not let it get wet for a few days. Then she started to pack up her medical kit.

Ji Yi knew this meant that Cheng Weiwan was about to leave.

Apart from the first time Cheng Weiwan called her to invite her to join the cast of “Three Thousand Lunatics,” they never really talked to one another. Since Cheng Weiwan already took care of the wound that evening, she should drop by the next day to change the bandage if Ji Yi remembered correctly, but Cheng Weiwan came to see her mere hours later...

Ji Yi pursed her lips. Seeing as Cheng Weiwan had already packed up her medical kit and was about to get up and leave, she hurriedly cried out, “Miss Cheng...”

Cheng Weiwan didn’t say anything but stared quietly at her and waited for her to finish.

Ji Yi bit her bottom lip and asked the question on her mind, “Did... he ask you to come?”

After a pause, Ji Yi was afraid Cheng Weiwan wouldn’t know who she meant by “he,” so she moved her lips about to say “He Jichen” when Cheng Weiwan nodded. “Yes, He Jichen asked me to come.”

It was just as I thought... Ji Yi’s fingers instinctively clutched onto her sleeve.

Seeing as Ji Yi didn’t say anything more, Cheng Weiwan spoke again, “Is there anything else?”

Ji Yi swiftly shook her head. “Nope.”

“Then I’ll be off.”

“Mhm...” Ji Yi got up and saw Cheng Weiwan to the door. She first gave her thanks before bidding her farewell. “Goodbye.”

After Cheng Weiwan walked off some distance, Ji Yi shut the door and leaned against the wooden door. She lost track of the time as her thoughts were in disarray.

...

Back in suite 1001, Cheng Weiwan headed to He Jichen’s side and opened the medical kit.

When she gestured for He Jichen to open his injured hand, she watched as the man stared firmly at her. That was when she realized something and quickly said, “There’s no real problem with her wound. I reapplied her medicine and changed her bandages. Tomorrow night, I’ll go over again to change it one more time. I’ll remove the stitches after seven days and she’ll be fine.”

At that thought, He Jichen still didn’t say a word as he brought his injured hand over to Cheng Weiwan.

Cheng Weiwan crouched on the ground and picked up the tweezers and scissors. Soon after, she picked out the remaining glass shards in He Jichen’s palms.
