Chapter 1460 - You’re Ah Ze (3)

Mu Xiaoxiao said angrily, "You're still trying to lie to me right now! This is Ah Ze's birthmark! I remember this clearly! Don't tell me that there's someone else in this world who has the same birthmark in the same place!"

Jun Zeye looked into her eyes and said gravely, "To me, the Ah Ze of before has already died."

Mu Xiaoxiao paused. She could vaguely pick up on the emotion in his tone.

The two of them looked at each other. Silence hung in the air.

Suddenly, Jun Zeye's lips quirked, as though he was unable to get out of this one. "You recognized me after all. I was actually afraid this would happen from the start."

He should have left City A after Xiaoxiao asked him if he was Ah Ze.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little aggrieved. "Don't you want to hang out with me? I thought… we were really close in the past. Is it just me who cares about our childhood friendship?"

She thought about how she had cried for a long time when she was a kid after learning he had died in a car accident. She had cried for at least a month.

"You don't know how sad I was that time and how many tears I shed for you."

Her tone was indignant.

Jun Zeye looked at her. The distance earlier had dissolved, replaced with warmth and feeling.

However, he could never return to being the boy who always smiled gently at her.

"Sorry," he apologized.

Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose before harrumphing. "Tell me then. What happened that year? Why did you… fake your death?"

She could not comprehend why he had to fake his death. What was he trying to achieve?

Or was the accident that year merely a misunderstanding?

Jun Zeye was silent for a while before he said, "There was really a boy who got into an accident that year. He couldn't be saved and died. That boy wasn't me, but the people who wanted to take me away told everyone else that he was me."

Mu Xiaoxiao asked, "The people who wanted to take you away? Who are they?"

Jun Zeye looked into her eyes. He had no intention of hiding anything else and said frankly, "My parents."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked shocked. "Your parents? Don't you… Aren't you an orphan? What's going on?"

"It's really complicated. I can't tell you much." Jun Zeye paused, his gaze deep. He then said to her, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the less you know, the better."

The more he spoke, the more Mu Xiaoxiao's curiosity grew.

However, he seemed serious so she could not continue interrogating him.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. "I understand. I won't question you then."

Jun Zeye noticed her disappointed look and said again, "I'll tell you in the future when the opportunity arises. Now is not the right time."

"Okay!" Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him. It was a goofy smile. "Anyway, it's just great that you're alive!"

Jun Zeye met her smiling eyes and could not help but reach out to ruffle her hair.

There was someone who was genuinely happy that he was alive.

Mu Xiaoxiao held his hand as she said emotionally, "Ah Ze, I can't believe that we're meeting. I'm really, really happy."

It was wonderful that Ah Ze was still alive.

It was absolutely wonderful!

This made her happier than any good news.

She teared up again as she spoke.

Her friend, whom she thought had died, was alive and standing right in front of her.
