However, the atmosphere between the two of them was slightly awkward.
There was a tacit understanding between them, but they had to play dumb and pretend that nothing had happened.
Wei Ziyao was a smart person. If she had to pretend that nothing had happened, she could have done it. However, Qi Xiaoze's current state made it impossible for her to keep up the act.
"I'm sorry, Junior Sister."
The two of them were silent for the time it took to burn a stick of incense before Qi Xiaoze said, "I will bury this matter in the bottom of my heart forever. Even if I die, I will bring it into my coffin. I won't implicate you or affect you. If it weren't for this damned Gu, I wouldn't have shown it at all. You … just pretend that you don't know. I'm still your Senior Brother."
When Qi Xiaoze said this, Wei Ziyao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She did not even know how to answer Qi Xiaoze.
"Senior Brother … you know that Ki Chien-chul and I are very loving. The two of us …"
"I know, of course I know. That's why I've never had any improper thoughts about you. I … maybe it's because I've been in the military all year round and have never had a woman by my side. I've just returned to Shenyang and have interacted with you a lot. You're so outstanding, that's why …"
His anxious manner of explaining made Wei Ziyao wonder if she was being too overbearing.
"Maybe, maybe when I've interacted with more women and realized that you're not the type of woman I like, I'll let it go. Give me some time. I won't disturb you. I really won't."
Qi Xiaoze looked serious as if he was making a vow.
Wei Ziyao's heart was in a mess. What should she say?
Should she say that she did not want Ki Chien-chul to know? This matter was nothing to begin with. If she said that, it would seem like something shameful had happened.
However, if he knew, it would more or less affect the relationship between them as brothers.
Besides, at this point, Wei Ziyao definitely could not pretend that nothing had happened.
She had been in this world for a long time and had encountered many troubles, but this was the most difficult one for her.
"Senior Brother, I've never encountered such a situation before, so I don't know what to say. I can only tell you that I only see you as a Senior Brother, an elder brother that I can rely on. Ki Chien-chul and I are aiming to grow old together, so I can't possibly have second thoughts about him, so … if you can, you should interact more with other girls, I … I'm not as good as you think."
Wei Ziyao subconsciously began to use honorifics.
Qi Xiaoze smiled bitterly and nodded. She could tell that his voice was tense.
"I know. Of course I know. The two of you should be happy for a long time. I don't have any improper thoughts. I don't even want you to know. Not only you, I can't let Sixth Brother know either. Back then, I was a man-made sin. You …"
He was about to say something when there was a sudden movement in the forest. Wei Ziyao looked over cautiously but did not find anything.
However, she still felt that it was better to be cautious. "Senior Brother, let's just leave it at that. I'll pretend that I didn't know. Don't mention it again."
With that, Wei Ziyao handed a small plastic bottle to Qi Xiaoze. "This is painkiller. You can take it when your Gu worm acts up, but you still need to control it. Don't reveal too many flaws."
"Okay, don't worry. I won't affect you."
Qi Xiaoze took the bottle and kept it in his pocket. He did not talk about this topic anymore.
Actually, he had deliberately exposed himself to test Wei Ziyao's attitude.
He thought that she would be very happy that he liked her, but he did not expect her to reject him so directly. She even wanted to draw a line between them.
Since this did not work, it seemed that he had to think of another way …
Along the way, the two did not speak much until they met up in the evening. When they met again, it was their group that hunted most of the time, so Ki Chien-chul and the rest had to send the prey back to the camp.
