A Billion Stars Can't Amount to You

Having personally seen how He Jichen treated Ji Yi when they were young, Fatty’s heart trembled for a moment and a sudden, unspeakable sense of pain came over him.

He placed the bottle of wine on the table. With alcohol in his system, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh. “Say, it’s so nice that you guys are like this. When I went down to line up for snacks, I thought back to the things that happened to us in senior high and realized that you guys are still on good terms like you were back then. Honestly speaking, I always thought that people were bound to part after meeting. Chen Ge and I would part ways, the other brothers and I would part ways, but I never imagined that you two would part ways, and...”

Fatty paused for a moment as though he was apologetic about something. He took a hard gulp of wine then continued to say, “...I never imagined that the first to part ways in our gang would be you two.”

“Till this day, I still don’t know why you, Ji Yi, left without saying goodbye as soon as you finished your college entrance exams four years ago. You left Sucheng and left Chen Ge?”

When Ji Yi heard this, she suddenly thought back to that night four years ago, and her face turned slightly pale.

“Fatty!” cried He Jichen as he realized what Fatty just said.

Fatty acted as though he hadn’t heard He Jichen tell him to stop and he continued to say, “If I remember correctly, it was four years ago today. It was the night of the class party before the college entrance exams when you both stopped talking. What the hell happened that night to make you both become strangers?!”

Ji Yi’s fingers clutched the table. No matter how hard she tried to stay calm, her body started to tremble gently.

“Fatty!” cried He Jichen again, but this time with a far sterner voice.

Fatty seemed to also be impatient as his tone of voice sounded heavier. “Chen Ge, why don’t you let me speak? Four years ago, I wanted to go find her, but you didn’t let me! Four years later, you guys meet up again, and you don’t even tell me? You treated her so well, and I don’t believe she wasn’t aware! Even if you did something wrong, how could she be so ruthless as to cut all ties?!”

As he said this, Fatty turned his head. “Ji Yi, did you know just how much I hated you back then? I thought you practically didn’t have a conscience! At school, you had everything going for you, and everyone respected you whenever they mentioned you. Who made that happen? Don’t you know? It was all because of Chen Ge, but what about you? You said you were going to toss aside Chen Ge and you did just that! Do you know how Chen Ge was after you left?! He was at the bar, drunk for a whole month. I saw, with my own eyes, how he lost five kilograms. I’ve known Chen Ge for so many years. I’ve seen him bleed, I’ve seen him break his bones, but I’ve never seen him cry!”

“Su Han!” He Jichen swiftly raised his hand and slammed the table. “I f*cking told you that I wronged her four years ago. I wronged her! I, He Jichen, wronged her!”

After He Jichen repeated “I wronged her” three times, he abruptly got up and kicked the chair behind him. He gritted his teeth and said “You f*cking got that?” at Fatty then stormed out of the room.

As the door slammed shut, the atmosphere in the room became incredibly awkward.

Neither Ji Yi and Fatty flinched as though their pressure points had been pressed.
