Chapter 492 The Scumbag's Uncle is Hard to Win Over 20
If Ye Yunqing hadn't met Qi Shengzhi again, whether she would still have such a deep obsession with him when she grew up is anyone's guess.
But there was a tragic fate between the two of them.
After Ye Yunqing returned home, she became very quiet. She could barely say a few words all day. She would be startled by the slightest noise, and she would often wake up from nightmares after only a short nap. She would curl up in a ball and tremble, but she didn't even dare to cry out loud. Her condition was terrible.
Ye's parents were always very careful around her, never daring to mention anything about the kidnapping. She had even seen a psychologist, but her condition had not improved.
Later, having no other choice, we tried to change her environment, so the family moved to their current city.
As it happened, she ran into Qi Shengzhi again.
It's hard to say whether it was because of the change of environment or because of reuniting with Qi Shengzhi, but Ye Yunqing's condition began to slowly improve.
Ye's parents were almost overjoyed and cried tears of joy. Compared to Ye Yunqing's improved condition, her annoying habit of following Qi Shengzhi around was nothing. Let her do whatever she wants!
Ye Yunqing was happy to see Qi Shengzhi again, but also somewhat disappointed, because Qi Shengzhi didn't recognize her at all.
This is understandable, after all, when she met Qi Shengzhi in the mountains, she was disheveled and dirty, looking like a little beggar, and her true appearance was completely unrecognizable.
Qi Shengzhi thought she had rolled down the mountain.
At first, Ye Yunqing didn't directly mention what happened in the mountains because she wanted to wait for Qi Shengzhi to recognize her on his own. For this reason, she always hovered around Qi Shengzhi.
As a result, Qi Shengzhi became impatient with her pestering him, started to dislike her, and began to speak to her very rudely.
So when Ye Yunqing couldn't wait for him to recognize her on his own, and tentatively brought up a scene from a TV drama where someone repays a life-saving debt with their body, trying to subtly remind him, he retorted irritably:
"If you save someone and then get blamed, who would dare to save them? Is this repaying a debt of gratitude or repaying kindness with enmity?"
Ye Yunqing was stunned by his retort and immediately burst into tears.
This is why Ye Yunqing has never mentioned the life-saving grace to anyone over the years, nor has she mentioned the promise of repaying him with her body.
Even Ye's parents didn't know.
But she still stubbornly believed that she would marry Qi Shengzhi when she grew up.
She had pursued him for so many years, been committed to him for so many years, and chasing after Qi Shengzhi had become a habit. Marrying him had also become her obsession.
No one knows the source of her obsession.
These things were not mentioned in the original plot, not even the fact that Ye Yunqing was kidnapped when she was a child.
Because of Shen Shu's speculations about her, her obsession with Qi Shengzhi was defined as that of a willful young lady who could get whatever she wanted, and her resentment at meeting someone she couldn't have.
And now Yun Qing has spoken about this matter without any reservations.
In her current view, there's nothing wrong with talking about this. How could she be repaying kindness with enmity? Take the matter of whether Qi Shengzhi himself agreed to marry her! She had asked him very politely at the time.
If he goes back on his word now, she... she can't do anything about it.
She suddenly realized that constantly chasing after Qi Shengzhi without getting a response was quite tiring.
Rather than keeping the promise made to her alone, afraid to speak out yet still clinging to hope, it's better to make everything clear and give her a clean break.
Moreover, Qi Shengzhi was, after all, her savior. He kept bothering her, and she kept pestering him, which was indeed quite annoying.
Perhaps she shouldn't have taken what she said as a child seriously; she should have learned to let go...
Oh... but she really likes him so much!
If he still doesn't like her, can she dig a hole and bury them both together?
Yun Qing: !!!
Wait, why am I having such a terrible thought?!
Help! I think I'm being driven crazy by unrequited love!
While Yun Qing was stunned by her own thoughts, Qi Shengzhi finally remembered this experience from his childhood.
He still remembers the trip to the mountains to explore, because he got beaten up when he got back, so the memory is quite vivid.
However, he didn't have a deep impression of Yun Qing, especially her promise to marry him. If she hadn't mentioned it, he probably would never have remembered it in his entire life.
After all, he wasn't paying attention when he said it; he was just casually talking to the kids, so how could it leave a deep impression?
Qi Shengzhi is feeling very heavy-hearted right now.
It wasn't just because he felt more guilty towards Yun Qing, but also because he had doubts about whether Yun Qing truly loved him.
She kept mentioning the life-saving grace from when she was a child and the promise she made to marry him when she was a child. What if there were no such things?
He treated Yun Qing so badly before. If she hadn't been kind to him, she wouldn't be so clinging to him like this now, right? She's not a masochist.
So, does she really like someone as terrible as him?
Or is it simply because he happened to appear when she was at her most desperate and became her savior, so no matter how outrageous he is, he can be forgiven?
If she had met someone else instead of him, would she have liked that person just as much?
Qi Shengzhi was silent for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "If it weren't for the life-saving grace and the promise we made, would you still like me?"
"Imagine you've mistaken someone for someone else..."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
"Do you think I'm stupid?! I asked for your name and I remember what you look like, how could I possibly mistake you for someone else!"
They didn't meet again after they grew up; not much time had passed, and their appearances hadn't changed much.
Qi Shengzhi looked at her, his face serious, and said stubbornly, "Just imagine, if you really mistook someone for someone else... By the way, Qi Ze also came with me on that expedition. What if he had saved you?"
Qi Ze did indeed go.
Qi Shengzhi was beaten because he took Qi Ze, who was still young at the time, on the adventure. As a result, he got separated from the group, and Qi Ze couldn't find his uncle and cried until his voice was hoarse.
He cried as if his uncle had died, which frightened the other, more timid children, who also started crying, making a truly pitiful scene.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that he wasn't the only one who got lost, but the whole group!
Yun Qing was taken aback by his serious demeanor, and her heart skipped a beat. No... could it be? Could it be that the person who saved her really was Qi Ze?
When you're out and about, you give yourself your own identity? He's impersonating his uncle?
It's not impossible for an uncle and nephew to look remarkably alike when they were young.
Yun Qing felt a little flustered. She had forgotten how many years apart Qi Ze and Qi Shengzhi were. The difference between children can be quite significant.
The main reason was that in the years after she reunited with Qi Shengzhi, she hadn't seen Qi Ze. Qi Ze's father had gone to a branch office for a period of time to gain experience, and Qi Ze and his mother had also gone to another city with him.
How to do?How to do?
Seeing her grave expression and not knowing what she was thinking, Qi Shengzhi's heart sank. He asked again, "If there were no debt of gratitude for saving my life, and no promise to marry you, would you still..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qing suddenly said solemnly, "You! Say you'll marry me now! Say it right now!"
Qi Ze is already engaged. If they make up the agreement now, it's basically the same as before!
Yun Qing couldn't help but praise herself for her quick thinking.
