Xie Rang had no choice but to run out on his own.
Yun Qing had expected that old grievances would be brought up, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. She said sincerely, "I didn't mean to."
That's the downside of growing up. Yun Qing doesn't practice martial arts, so she's not as strong as Xie Rang. Plus, the boy is tall, so once he restrains her, she can't make any small movements. Moreover, since her identity as a woman hasn't been revealed, Yun Qing always feels a strong sense of insecurity.

The sound of clothes rustling was soft. Noticing the touch on the back of her neck, Yun Qing shrank her shoulders slightly and hissed, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush with me."
"Originally, it was unwanted by others, but the Grand Tutor gave it to me."
