"It's snowing, and our heads are covered in snowflakes from when we were soaked. Isn't this what people mean by growing old together?"
Ye Qing was drying her hair, the hairdryer was on, and the sound of it blowing made it difficult to hear anything else. However, Ye Qing could hear Xi Quan's words very clearly.
Ye Qing could guess where a comma and a period should be placed, word by word, even according to Xi Quan's punctuation.
However, Xi Quan's words were a bit too distant for Ye Qing.
First of all, she was still a student, and secondly, she had never thought about getting married.
Although in this era, it seems a bit too unconventional for someone to say they don't want to get married, Ye Qing's upbringing and her reborn identity have given her a very open-minded perspective; marriage really isn't necessary.
Ye Qing bit her lip in annoyance, deeply regretting asking Xi Quan that question.
Faced with Xi Quan's expectant gaze, Ye Qing didn't know what to say. To tell the truth would obviously hurt Xi Quan, but not to tell the truth would put a lot of pressure on Ye Qing because of Xi Quan's expectant gaze.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Qing turned the hairdryer back on, using the sound as a cover, and said, "I haven't thought about getting married."
Xi Quan said that growing old together is just a beautiful expectation. Of course, marriage is the final result, but at the moment Xi Quan said "growing old together", he did not think about marriage. Ye Qing's answer was obviously a misunderstanding.
However, Ye Qing's misunderstanding made Xi Quan realize one thing: Ye Qing had never thought about the future, while he himself was looking forward to it.
This inevitably made Xi Quan a little angry and sad, feeling like he was being snubbed.
In his relationship with Ye Qing, Xi Quan had always been proactive and somewhat shameless, but Ye Qing still didn't seem to be fully engaged, which Xi Quan felt made him lose face.
So, in response to Ye Qing's answer, Xi Quan said directly, "You're overthinking it. I was just casually remarking that it's too early to get married. Besides, I got married once before, and the result was so disastrous. How could I easily get married again?"
Ye Qing slowed down her hair drying process.
Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward just now, there was a sense of warmth or coziness flowing through it, but now it has completely cooled down.
Ye Qing knew that this was actually his own fault.
Although her hair was wet, it wasn't too bad because she was wearing a hat, except for her bangs. So she had dried it almost completely. Ye Qing turned off the hairdryer again and put it on the table: "It's getting late, let's rest."
Xi Quan gave Ye Qing a disgruntled look, stood up and said, "Go to your bedroom."
Ye Qing quickly waved her hand, wanting to say that she would sleep on the sofa, but just as she was about to speak, seeing Xi Quan's cold and stern expression, she swallowed her words and obediently went to the bedroom as Xi Quan arranged.
To be honest, Ye Qing was nervous before coming here. After all, being in the same room with Xi Quan while sober always made her feel nervous, uneasy, and anxious, or some other emotions that Ye Qing herself couldn't explain.
Now that the tension and anxiety have subsided, Ye Qing still can't fall asleep.
She kept thinking about her relationship with Xi Quan.
In the past, Ye Qing would never have acted this way; feelings were never within the scope of Ye Qing's dilemmas.
Ye Qing finally drifted off to sleep just before dawn.
But when she woke up, she didn't see Xi Quan. She only saw a note left by Xi Quan saying that he had to go to a meeting and had left first.
Compared to the last time when they even prepared breakfast for Ye Qing, this was far too indifferent.
Ye Qing read the note several times, then sighed deeply, knowing that Xi Quan was angry.
It wasn't too difficult for Ye Qing to coax Xi Quan. Before they were even a couple, and their relationship wasn't even fake, Xi Quan was often angered by Ye Qing. Ye Qing could easily coax Xi Quan with just a few words.
This time, it's not that Ye Qing lacked confidence, but rather that she didn't want to go against her conscience.
Ye Qing probably understood what Xi Quan was angry about. Whether or not to get married wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that feelings weren't part of Ye Qing's plans at all, so she passively accepted everything and took things one step at a time.
Xi Quan may not have thought too much about the future, but he was much more devoted to his feelings than Ye Qing.
Although she was conflicted, Ye Qing's own shop was about to open, and it was also the end of the semester, so she was very busy and didn't think too much about it.
After Ye Qing finished her final exams, and the new menswear design started production, Xi Yue chatted with Ye Qing and asked, "Didn't we already have a menswear design? Why did you design another one? Although the store hasn't been open for long, it's clear that the womenswear is selling better."
We've been open for half a month, and although we haven't made any money yet, judging by the momentum over these past two weeks, we're not far from making money.
Ye Qing is very ambitious, and her shop is positioned as a custom-made store. With the Chinese New Year approaching, everyone needs to change into new clothes and doesn't want to wear the same clothes as everyone else when visiting relatives. Custom-made clothes are a great option if your financial situation allows.
With Xi Yue promoting the business among her friends, who then brought others along, Ye Qing's shop gradually gained a good reputation and business became much easier.
Moreover, the clothing item they collaborated on with Zitai Fashion sold very well; it was a limited edition, which made it even more valuable due to its rarity.
Since Zitai Fashion has stopped production, people have discovered that the independent designer who collaborated with Zitai Fashion has opened his own store, so many people have come to visit.
Since most of the clothing is women's wear, and the tailors in the store are clearly too busy, it would be a waste to make men's wear as well.
Ye Qing knew this, of course, but it was something she had promised Xi Quan. Moreover, when Ye Qing had some free time, she had thought about how to coax Xi Quan. In the end, Ye Qing decided to go with the plan and send him clothes and a scarf.
So although this increased the workload, Ye Qing felt it was okay. Therefore, when faced with Xi Yue's question, Ye Qing just smiled and didn't explain further.
Although Ye Qing didn't say it, Xi Yue guessed what it was from Ye Qing's attitude: "You didn't design this specifically for Xi Quan, did you?"
Xi Yue's bluntness made Ye Qing a little embarrassed, but she just smiled.
But that was enough for Xi Yue. She was just about to tease Ye Qing a bit and ask him some gossip when someone came into the shop, so Xi Yue temporarily put aside her gossip and said, "Welcome..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw who it was and was very excited to see who it was. Xi Yue quickly went to greet them: "Why are you here?"
Hearing Xi Yue's excited voice, Ye Qing also looked over. When she saw who it was, she wasn't as happy as Xi Yue, and her expression changed instantly.
Since there was no one in the shop at the moment, Ye Qing thought she would leave first. But as soon as she stood up, she heard Ye Shuwei say, "I came to see you."
