Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan sighed, "So you hate him, and only upon knowing I am his fiancée do you now say you are willing to marry me?"
Ji Qingyu shook his head repeatedly, "No, before today, I had no idea who you were!"
Leng Yu Yan gave a light smile, "But your heart already has her, how can there be space for another?"
Ji Qingyu said anxiously, "I knew, I knew once I spoke of this, you would say so. That was a childhood thing; at that time I had no concept of love between a man and a woman. Nowadays, thinking about it, she was just a good playmate."
Leng Yu Yan sighed, "The Crown Prince did not intentionally harm others, your anger towards him is also understandable."
"I know the reasoning, but the impression is already imprinted in my heart," Ji Qingyu prodded the campfire with a stick, watching the light reflect on the face of the girl opposite him; suddenly, he thought her mottled face was quite endearing.
