The two people kept their silence for a good while.
She could not bear this, however.
For a long time, there was doubt in her heart, and she always wanted to verify it with him, but there had been no chance to do so.
She pondered on this for a while and decided that she still wanted to clarify things.
"Mu Yazhe, may I ask you a question?"
She voiced out abruptly.
"Okay. Shoot your question."
She sat ramrod straight and faced him calmly. "You probably know by now of my identity."
He was startled but soon figured out what she meant.
After much deliberation, he decided to confess. "I found out about your identity seven years ago."
She was shocked.
It had not occurred to her that he would know of her identity for that long.
"How did you learn of my identity?"
"DNA."
