Chu Jingchen looked at Qiao Yiqing's outstretched hand in surprise, with confusion on his face.

"Why, don't you want to see me? You don't even want to shake my hand?" Qiao Yiqing teased with a smile.

Chu Jingchen was stunned for a long time, and then he came back to his senses, "Shake hands? What does shaking hands mean?"

When Qiao Yiqing heard this, she immediately remembered that people in this era were not allowed to shake hands. It was estimated that shaking hands between men and women would be considered obscene.

Immediately, she took back her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Invitation is worse than meeting by chance. Since you helped me out, I will treat you to a meal."

Chu Jingchen's stiff face was finally amused by her treat.

"Haha, okay, this is probably the only time in my life that I will have dinner with you."

"You want to have dinner with me so much, how about I invite you a few more times in the future?" Qiao Yiqing smiled after hearing this.

Chu Jingchen stared at Qiao Yiqing's rare smile, looking a little lost in thought.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Yiqing asked suspiciously when she saw that he didn't respond.

Chu Jingchen came back to his senses and took a sip of tea with some embarrassment: "Um, it's nothing-"

"It's nothing, your tea cup is empty, don't you even know?" Qiao Yiqing looked at the tea cup and said a little funny.

Only then did Chu Jingchen realize that it was an empty teacup, and he gave an embarrassed smile: "Haha, I was distracted for a while, and I really didn't pay attention."

Qiao Yiqing chuckled lightly and said jokingly: "What's wrong with you? It's been a long time since I last saw you. I feel like you're out of your mind. You can be so distracted. Are you thinking about some pretty girl?"

Chu Jingchen's heart skipped a beat when she hit the nail on the head, and he felt a little panicked.

"You actually asked me this, have you forgotten what I said before?" Chu Jingchen frowned in displeasure, a little angry at Qiao Yiqing for pretending to be crazy.

Qiao Yiqing looked confused: "What words? Why don't I remember? Oh, I forgot to tell you. I have lost my memory. Now I only have partial memory. Now my head hurts when I recall the past, so it is inconvenient to recall."

When Chu Jingchen heard this, he was startled and asked anxiously: "What happened? Why did I lose my memory? Does it still hurt now?"

"Haha, it won't hurt if you don't think about it. I don't know how I lost my memory, and there is always a thorn in my heart."

Chu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and looked at her with eyes full of love and affection.

"Tell me about you. Are you married?" Qiao Yiqing didn't want to dwell on the memory, so she immediately changed the subject.

"No." Chu Jingchen shook his head.

"No way, you're not young anymore, why aren't you married yet? Do you have a soft spot for me?"

Seeing his unnatural expression, Qiao Yiqing laughed even more: "Hahaha, I must have guessed it right."

Chu Jingchen glanced at her awkwardly and admitted helplessly: "Yes, you were right."

Qiao Yiqing raised her eyebrows and became interested: "Really, which girl is she from? Could it be the same Zhao Xixue?"

Chu Jingchen glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I like her?"

"Since you don't like her, then why did you keep her with you every day?" Qiao Yiqing didn't believe it.

"I had a good impression at first, but then I stopped." Chu Jingchen was a little uneasy by her sharp eyes.

"Oh? Did you fall in love with someone else?"

"You-" Chu Jingchen seemed at a loss when faced with such a direct question from Qiao Yiqing.

"It seems true. Then which girl did you fall in love with later?" Qiao Yiqing was so bored that she even started gossiping about Chu Jingchen's sex.

Chu Jingchen was depressed by her question, and it was hard to express his love for her. It was really torture.

He didn't know that he had thousands and tens of thousands of regrets.

What would have been the result if he had never insulted her, never kicked her out of the general's house, and never turned a blind eye to her advances?

If he could see his heart clearly earlier, he would be the one staying with her, not Prince Rong.

He hypothesized many what-ifs, each of which was ten thousand times better than the reality in front of him.

Whenever it was quiet at night, he would always stay up all night, thinking of the amazing glimpse on the flower boat, the scene where she was called a fairy by everyone, the cunning of her using him to escape from marriage, and her fluent repartee and brilliant intelligence at the palace banquet.

, thinking of her arrogance and arrogance in ridiculing him and destroying his arena. Thinking of her endless and varied methods, each one of which seemed to be magical, attracting people to come closer.

But she walked into his heart, but he withdrew from her life.

Such a miss is not a kind of sadness.

Thinking about it now, it's too late - too late -

Thinking about it, Chu Jingchen's face added a bit of sadness.

"What, you don't want to say it, or have you fallen in love with someone you shouldn't love?" Qiao Yiqing looked at his bitter face, as if he was hiding something.

Chu Jingchen smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, I fell in love with someone who no longer belongs to me."

"Oh, in that case, just forget about it. There are many women in the world." Qiao Yiqing saw that he was sad and kindly advised him.

"Forgetting is easier said than done. That kind of love has already taken root in my heart. Now it has grown into a towering tree. If I want to uproot it, my heart will probably be destroyed." Chu Jingchen shook his head with a wry smile.

.

When he said this, Qiao Yiqing opened her mouth in surprise: "The He family girl is so capable, she actually made the famously romantic General Chu submissive."

In the past, Chu Jingchen was a romantic figure who showed mercy everywhere. When did he become the seed of infatuation before his eyes?

Chu Jingchen couldn't help but laugh bitterly at her surprised expression. He really wanted to answer - It's you!

She had forgotten what he said before, and now there was no need for him to trouble her by saying it a second time.

Maybe this is fate.

"Okay, don't be downcast, you will definitely meet someone better in the future." Qiao Yiqing patted Chu Jingchen's shoulder proudly.

At this time, the waiter brought the wine and food, bowed to Chu Jingchen humbly, and then retreated.

Chu Jingchen was upset, so he grabbed the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine, muttering: "Haha, there is nothing better than her in this world."

"Cut the knife to cut off the water, the water will flow more, raise a cup to relieve the sorrow, the sorrow will become even more sorrowful." Qiao Yiqing sighed.

Hearing this, Chu Jingchen raised his head and nodded in agreement: "Yes, no matter how long you drink, she will still be in your heart. It will only get deeper and deeper."

Qiao Yiqing was also touched by his sadness. She didn't know what to say to persuade him, so she could only remain silent now.

Chu Jingchen raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Yiqing infatuatedly, "I'm really afraid that this meal will be our last meal together."

Qiao Yiqing was shocked when she heard this and looked at him with a serious expression: "Why do you say such sad things? I won't leave Donggao Kingdom for the time being. At worst, I will invite you a few more times."

After hearing this, Chu Jingchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bringing up a smile of satisfaction: "Haha, I am content and I don't dare to ask for too much."
