Lee Yueqing hummed in acknowledgement, saying, "I remember."
Li Zhongnan asked again, "Do you want to know what I was thinking back then?"
Lee Yueqing looked at him and said, "I do."
Li Zhongnan smiled and said, "When I got into the carriage and saw you for the first time, I was incredibly excited, thinking I was so lucky to encounter such a stunning beauty even on a simple train journey. It took me a while to muster the courage to strike up a conversation with you."
Lee Yueqing lifted her head and asked, "A toad dreaming of eating swan meat?"
Li Zhongnan laughed soothingly and replied, "Not quite, I was very aware of myself then, or you could say I lacked confidence. I thought to myself, I'm just bored anyway, so having a chat with you, teasing you a little, would be great."
Lee Yueqing said, "But I didn't want to talk to you. I felt that it would degrade me."
