Chapter 2886 — Reunion After Long Parting

"Earlier, when I grilled clay fish for you, I thought you had remembered—remembered the things from our childhood, on the deserted island..." Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"You... you're Brother Ah Yi?!" Yang Qiqi stared at Wei Zhao in utter shock. When Wei Zhao had said those things before, it was not that she had never considered that he might be her Brother Ah Yi, but all along, Wei Zhao's image had differed far too greatly from Brother Ah Yi's, and added to that her poor first impression of him, she had simply overlooked the possibility. But now, thinking carefully, Wei Zhao... was indeed that very person!
Only that person knew all these things about her. Only that person knew the memories on the deserted island that belonged to just the two of them... And only that person, upon seeing her, would call her Little Seven and embrace her!
"Heh, I never imagined either that you would turn out to be little sister Little Seven..." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. He had to admit, this way of recognizing each other was rather clichéd, but childhood playmates could look so utterly different—who could have expected such a coincidence?
"You... why didn't you say so earlier!" Yang Qiqi leaped up from the bed and threw herself into Wei Zhao's arms. Feeling the warmth of his embrace, she wept with joy: "Wonderful—now I finally don't have to kill you..."
"Pff..." Hearing this, Wei Zhao nearly burst out laughing. What was this cool girl thinking about now? Still the matter of killing him?
"I'm sorry, Brother Ah Yi, I didn't know you were Wei Zhao... That's why I wanted to kill you... I treated you so horribly before, yet you were so good to me... Little Seven is truly awful..." Yang Qiqi sobbed against Wei Zhao's chest.
"Awful? I never imagined you were trying to kill me because of me... Now that you've figured it out, of course I won't blame you..." Wei Zhao's sentence looked like a grammatical error, but both of them understood what he meant.
Yet Wei Zhao was somewhat shocked inside as well, and there were some things he did not say. He truly had not expected that his childhood sweetheart harbored that kind of romantic feeling for him! All along, Wei Zhao had regarded Little Seven as a younger sister and had not thought much about it—he only wanted to protect her and care for her. But at this moment, Wei Zhao did not voice this either.
At a reunion after so long apart, Wei Zhao would not say anything to spoil the mood. As for Yang Qiqi's feelings for him, in Wei Zhao's view they were probably a stubborn sort of dependence—when they could not meet, she would keep thinking of him and missing him, but once they truly met, she would gradually discover that the Wei Zhao of today and the Brother Ah Yi of the past were two entirely different people...
