Ye Junqing kept a grim expression on his face and said nothing.

After a while, Xiao Yun who was engrossed in checking the database, said: “I found it. There are eighty people named Qin Junye who died ten years ago. But only three of them died exactly ten years ago from today. Miss Ye, could you identify which one is your friend?”

The name was too common for Xiao Yun to determine the right person, so he handed his laptop to Ye Xingguang who was sitting in the front row.

Ye Xingguang turned to look, and instantly recognized the boy with ordinary features. Her heart ached again: “It’s him.”

Xiao Yun nodded and clicked open the details of Qin Junye’s life.

“Yeah, Miss Ye did not lie. Ten years ago, a boy named Qin Junye did indeed die in a maritime accident. Take a look.”

Ye Junqing looked slightly surprised as he took the laptop from Xiao Yun and glanced at Qin Junye’s details on the screen.

He’s not good-looking at all—a judgement made by a man with a natural hostility towards any potential male rival.

Then he looked at his background: Hmm… his family has been farming for three generations!

Then his education: Hmm… he didn’t even finish primary school!

Then his occupations: Hmm… working in clothing factories, car repair shops, electric factories, and delivery jobs!

Then his cause of death: a maritime accident.

Ye Junqing pressed his lips together tightly and hesitated for a long time, could it be that he had misunderstood her all these years?

“What did he do to save your life?” Ye Junqing asked.

Ye Junqing thought, I also saved your life, but you didn’t seem to pay much attention to that. Besides, when I saved you, you were so ungrateful. You didn’t appreciate my help at all. Why are you still harboring thoughts about him?

He slightly resented this unknown factor.

Ye Xingguang suppressed her grief of losing her friend: “When I was in trouble, he stepped forward and saved my life.”

“When was that?”

“I’ve told you already. It was ten years ago, at sea. He died saving me.”

Ye Junqing said nothing more. The time and place were right. She indeed encountered an assassination attempt at sea ten years ago in summer.

At that time, he was also dealing with a crisis. He was injured and his blood attracted a school of sharks. He was unable to escape. It was only her timely intervention during her escape that saved him from becoming food for the sharks.

Likewise, during their joint escape, he witnessed the assassins’ determination to kill her.

Thinking about it, Ye Junqing could feel his veins throbbing with rage.

Still, with irritation in his voice, Ye Junqing persisted: “Why didn’t you explain to me?”

Ye Xingguang was exasperated: “Didn’t I explain to you? I only mentioned my friend!”

Ye Junqing fell silent. His demand for an explanation referred not to the previous night, but to the past. Why didn’t she communicate properly with him and mislead him by burning paper and making curses? Why did she let him misunderstand her?

Remembering how their relations suffered over the years because of burning paper rituals, Ye Junqing felt a strong sense of guilt and regret. If they had communicated effectively at that time, would their relationship have been different now?

There wasn’t a Xiao Yun back then!

Back then, all he had was Fu Zhuo who only added fuel to the fire!

Comparing the two, Ye Junqing felt betrayed by Fu Zhuo and held a grudge against him.

“Seems like I misunderstood you,” Ye Junqing said, his tone half-apologetic.

But he wasn’t entirely sincere. He felt a sour taste in his mouth.

He too had saved her life. Why can’t she just spend a happy birthday with him? Did she think that he wasn’t as dedicated as Qin Junye because he didn’t die for her?

Had he not been… then he might already have been six feet under. Could he have also had a place in her heart forever then?
