But when it comes to brains, I'm second to none, but when it comes to physical strength, I'm really no match.
I can only manage to keep up with regular training, which is already my limit. I wouldn't even dare to push myself to the limit for more intensive training or elite training.
You don't know, when I went there, I was really hesitant. I was thinking that no matter what, I had to confess to you first. If I confessed, there would still be some hope, but if I didn't, there would be no hope at all.
But I was still feeling uneasy. I thought to myself, generally speaking, shouldn't girls admire strength? Don't they all hope to be protected by someone stronger than themselves?
But you yourself are so strong in combat, it feels like such a powerful girl has no weaknesses. I guess I don't have much hope.

“After saying goodbye to you, I was also unwilling. Brother Chao was at the garrison, but I wasn’t. I was on the border. If I just gave up like this, I probably wouldn’t even have a chance to see you again.”

"That's not necessarily true. To be honest, I don't know what you like about me. I don't think I have anything that would attract men. Don't guys like women who are gentle and weak?"
When you said you had your eye on me, I was quite beautiful, really.
"That's someone else. I just love your heroic spirit. I still remember how you protected me from the wolves and wild boars."
You agreed so readily, I was afraid you'd overthink it and regret it, and I was also worried Brother Chao would come after me, so I took a car back there that very day to clean up the house.
Simple laughed until tears streamed down her face.
"I saw it. You were running, and you were running really fast. I was wondering, how can you say you like me when I'm so scary?"
Qin Qinghuai straightened his face.
