After he finished speaking, Qin Ze stopped talking and fell silent.

The girl knew what he was thinking, so she felt even more guilty. After a brief silence, she finally spoke with a heart full of apology:

"sorry."

This meaningless apology made the girl feel ashamed, but apart from saying "I'm sorry", she knew she could not make any compensation.

"It has nothing to do with you." At this time, Qin Ze took a deep breath, rubbed his face, straightened his back and looked at Jin Changge and said.

"But..." Feeling his gaze, the girl avoided it.

"What's the matter?"

"If he could appear in my dreams at night, he would never say anything bad about you. I can see it clearly, so why can't he?" Qin Ze waved his hands, and his expression gradually returned to normal.

These words made the girl's guilt lessen a lot, so she lowered her head and hummed softly.

"I'll be back in Beijing tomorrow, you know." Qin Ze repeated the purpose of his trip.

"Okay." The girl didn't look up, but she agreed straightforwardly.

Qin Ze looked at the girl who lowered her head, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment. The girl buried her head and did not speak, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

After a while, Qin Ze leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice:

"After returning to Beijing, you..."

The girl suddenly looked up and spoke at this moment:

"Do you still remember..."

Both of them spoke at this moment, and their words overlapped, so they both stopped what they were about to say.

"You speak first." Qin Ze pursed his lips.

"Do you remember that I once went to your house? It was one night when I was ten years old." The girl asked with bright eyes.

Qin Ze was stunned, thought for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

"I remember it clearly. You came here to compete so late at night."

Hearing this, the girl's face flushed: "Nonsense, what kind of competition is this?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. You insisted on fighting me, and you punched me in the face." Qin Ze touched his left cheek, as if presenting evidence.

"That doesn't count. It was just for fun. You only knew a little bit of kung fu back then." The girl retorted.

Qin Ze didn't care and asked, "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"

Seeing him asking, the girl hesitated and said, "Didn't you lose face when I punched you in front of everyone, and then you had a quarrel with your father and went back to your room angrily?"

Qin Ze's brows began to frown, and he began to organize his words to refute in his mind.

But the girl continued, "After you went back to the house, I didn't leave. General Hu Wei and I talked alone in the garden for a long time. Before I left, he wanted me to take a few words back, but he thought about it and didn't say it."

"I want to ask, did he say anything to you afterwards?"

After hearing this, Qin Ze finally understood why the girl wanted to talk about this past event.

Then the already forgotten memories began to emerge more and more clearly in my mind.

In fact, he almost forgot what happened that night. After all, Jin Changge punched him in the face in front of several good friends. Because of this, they often teased him about it afterwards, so it left a deep impression on him.

He clearly remembered that after returning to the room that night, he did not go to sleep but took a shower.

Then I heard from the servant that Zhang Ran's two siblings had gone back, but I was starving after taking a bath. After all, I was only ten years old at that time and was in the period of growth. When I was hungry, I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. After eating, my stomach was full and I was no longer sleepy. I tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep, so I went out for a walk to digest the food and happened to run into my father returning to the backyard.

After asking, I learned that he had just sent Jin Changge and his sister back, and then...

Qin Ze was thinking and gradually recalled what his father said after they met.

At this moment, seeing Qin Ze remained silent, Jin Changge couldn't help but ask, "Is there any? If not, forget it. I'm just asking casually."

"Haha." At this time, Qin Ze suddenly chuckled.

"Huh?" The girl looked at him curiously, not understanding why he was laughing.

Qin Ze smiled but said nothing. Instead, he shook his head, as if he remembered something interesting.

"What are you laughing at?" The two sat face to face. The curious and confused girl pushed Qin Ze and began to question him.

Qin Ze remained silent, with an ambiguous smile on his face.

"Have you remembered it? You must have said something, right? Why don't you say something?" The girl's impatience made her urge him on. She shook Qin Ze's body hard and almost pushed him off the chair.

"Well, he did speak."

At this moment, there was a crisp "click" sound.

The sword fell to the ground, the girl was stunned, and her pushing hands stopped.

Qin Ze bent down and picked up the sword that fell from his body.

Then, he stood up, restrained his smile, and said solemnly to the girl:

"But there is one thing I feel I need to make clear to you."

Facing Qin Ze who suddenly stopped smiling and became solemn, the girl's heart skipped a beat. Thinking that it must be something extremely important, she was suddenly at a loss: "What...what?"

"That night you came to fight me and punched me. It wasn't because I was incompetent. It was because my father suddenly shouted and distracted me, so you punched me in the face."

As soon as these words fell, the girl's bewilderment immediately disappeared. She thought it was some big deal, but it turned out that what Qin Ze wanted to talk about was just this insignificant little thing.

She immediately said angrily: "So what? Why didn't I get distracted? It's all because you're not good enough."

Hearing this, Qin Ze's solemn face showed a smile again: "Really?"

"Of course." The girl stood up and refused to give in. Even though she was no longer a princess, she still retained her stubborn and straightforward personality.

"Have you almost recovered in these days?" Qin Ze looked Jin Changge up and down and suddenly changed the subject.

The girl was confused, but then she said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

As soon as she said this, she suddenly realized something.

As expected, Qin Ze continued, "Well, let's have another match."

"Competition is a competition."

Without any hesitation, Jin Changge agreed.

"Right now." Qin Ze continued.

"Okay! But first, tell me what he said."

"I can tell you, but you have to beat me first."

"Okay!" The girl agreed readily.

"But if I win, I have to ask for a prize."

The girl frowned: "That's fine, but what's the prize?"

Qin Ze looked at Jin Changge and said slowly, "I heard that anyone who wants to marry you must defeat you first. Is that true?"

In an instant, the girl's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It turns out that this is what he was trying to say in so many roundabout ways, haha, man!

After two breaths of silence, she blushed and replied, "Yes!"

"Then let's take this as a prize. Let's go downstairs." Without giving the girl a chance to refuse, Qin Ze turned and left.

The girl hesitated for a moment, but soon she grabbed the sword on the table and walked out.
