Before Liang Lu could finish speaking and before Xi Quan could say anything, Ye Qing spoke up first, sounding somewhat displeased: "I'd rather risk a limp and walk down the mountain myself than have you carry me."
Hearing this, Liang Lu felt a little embarrassed, because he meant no harm; he was just joking with Xi Quan and intentionally trying to annoy him.
Ye Qing wasn't unaware of this, but she wasn't very happy after hearing Liang Lu's words.
Seeing that Liang Lu wanted to explain, Ye Qing said, "I know you didn't mean any harm, you were just joking with Xi Quan, but some jokes are not appropriate. Xi Quan is my boyfriend, it's nothing if he does it behind my back. We're just acquaintances here, it's not a good thing to say this."
Actually, Ye Qing was thinking of Xu Ying. In the past, Ye Qing always tried to distance herself from Xi Quan and never shied away from talking about why Xi Quan and Xu Ying divorced.
Now that she's started dating Xi Quan, Ye Qing's mindset has gradually changed. She always doesn't want Xi Quan to suffer any injustices.
Even though she knew her strength was insignificant and she might not be able to help Xi Quan in any way, Ye Qing still couldn't help but speak up in defense of him.
Liang Lu was a little embarrassed after being rebuked by Ye Qing, but after hearing Ye Qing's explanation, Liang Lu realized the problem. He was used to speaking freely with Xi Quan, but he was not that familiar with Ye Qing. Moreover, there is a difference between men and women, and some things are inappropriate to say.
However, judging from Ye Qing's words, Liang Lu didn't seem to understand any hidden meaning in them, so he tacitly agreed with Ye Qing and didn't say anything more to avoid making things even more awkward.
Ye Qing didn't understand the meaning behind Liang Lu's words, but Xi Quan did. Ye Qing directly confronted Liang Lu, which naturally pleased Xi Quan. However, he didn't forget to defend himself, especially since his girlfriend was speaking up for him. Liang Lu had many girlfriends, but Xi Quan felt that none of them had ever received such treatment. So, before speaking, Xi Quan gave Liang Lu a smug and provocative look.
"I will never fail in front of my girlfriend!"
Ye Qing did not initially understand the underlying meaning in Liang Lu's words, but after Xi Quan said that, Ye Qing realized it.
Even if you've never eaten pork, you've still seen a pig run, haven't you?
After Ye Qing realized what had happened, her cheeks turned bright red and her ears burned. Fortunately, it was cold, and her face was already red from the cold, so no one noticed her embarrassment.
Liang Lu and Xi Quan had a good relationship. Men usually spoke very freely and without such subtlety. Liang Lu thought that Xi Quan had responded and hadn't mentioned Ye Qing, so it should be alright. Moreover, Liang Lu thought that Ye Qing probably hadn't understood the hidden meaning in their words, so Liang Lu quickly retorted.
"Since you've always been so capable, what about your ex-wife..."
Before Liang Lu could finish speaking, Xi Quan interrupted him: "I'm not as casual as you are. I don't just accept just anyone..."
This time, Xi Quan was interrupted before he could finish speaking. Not only was he interrupted, but he also let out a "howl"!
Hearing Xi Quan's shout, Liang Lu looked at Xi Quan in surprise and found that Ye Qing was lying on Xi Quan's shoulder, her face seemingly facing Xi Quan's neck.
Seemingly understanding what was going on, Liang Lu suppressed a laugh, looked away from them, and quickened his pace.
As Ye Qing listened to the two talking incessantly, she got impatient and bit Xi Quan.
I didn't realize anything when I bit her, but when I felt her body temperature on my lips, I belatedly realized what was going on.
The biting force instantly lessened considerably, but the person was too embarrassed to lift their head and remained lying down without moving.
Xi Quan never expected Ye Qing to bite him. So what if she bit him? But after she bit him, Ye Qing stayed on his neck without moving. The warm breath made Xi Quan feel unbearable, so he subconsciously shook his neck.
Feeling Xi Quan shaking his neck, Ye Qing felt even more embarrassed. She turned her head away and, trying to salvage the situation, couldn't help but mutter, "It's so cold, and you didn't even wear a scarf or anything."
This means that if Xi Quan had a scarf, he wouldn't have been bitten.
Xi Quan was embarrassed, but there was also a different kind of emotion that he couldn't suppress even in the cold weather, so his brain wasn't as active. Although it wasn't as active, what he said wasn't so stupid. He said, "I don't have a scarf."
After saying that, Xi Quan realized it was an opportunity and quickly added, "Nobody knits me a scarf."
Ye Qing awkwardly replied, "Okay."
Having said that, Ye Qing thought she had gotten away with it, but Xi Quan seemed determined to persist and asked, "What do you know?"
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Ye Qing became a bit stubborn after being asked by Xi Quan, and once again confronted Xi Quan: "I don't know anything."
Ye Qing's cold words made Xi Quan regret that he had said the wrong thing again, and he could also sense that Ye Qing didn't want to talk to him at the moment, so Xi Quan didn't continue.
The road was slippery, and carrying Ye Qing on his back, Xi Quan walked slowly. When he reached the foot of the mountain where he parked his car, Liang Lu was already waiting for him.
After returning to the city, Xi Quan first left Liang Lu behind, and then took Ye Qing to see a doctor about her foot.
The doctor said it was just a sprain, no bones were broken, and it wasn't a big problem. He prescribed some medicine to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis, as well as some topical medication.
After all that fuss, it was getting late, and the school dormitories were all locked. In the end, Xi Quan took Ye Qing to his place.
Although it wasn't Ye Qing's first time visiting Xi Quan's place, this was the first time she had come here while sober. The last time, she was drunk and didn't know anything.
This time, she was perfectly sober. Ye Qing felt very uncomfortable from the moment she entered the room because she had twisted her ankle and was wearing thick winter clothes, making it difficult for her to bend over and change her shoes.
However, it wasn't a big deal, and in Ye Qing's opinion, lingering a little longer would also avoid the awkwardness and discomfort of being alone with Xi Quan.
Her plan was quite clever, but Xi Quan didn't let her dawdle and immediately squatted down to help Ye Qing change her shoes.
Ye Qing was startled by Xi Quan's actions, hopping on one foot and leaning against the door, as if she was about to experience something unspeakable.
But when she jumped, Xi Quan followed her and eventually helped Ye Qing change her shoes.
This was the first time someone had shown such complete acceptance of her presence, which warmed Ye Qing's heart. However, all her emotions ultimately boiled down to one thought: thankfully, her feet didn't smell bad, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.
To ease the awkward situation, after her shoes were changed, Ye Qing said, "Do you have a dry towel? My hair is wet."
Xi Quan grabbed a dry towel and a hairdryer. "Let's dry our hair."
Ye Qing didn't refuse. Her hair was wet, so drying it would be comfortable. But while she was drying her hair, she saw Xi Quan laughing to himself as he dried his hair, so she asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
Xi Quan's answer made Ye Qing regret asking him that question.
