After asking the question, Ye Qing waited for Xi Quan's answer, but Xi Quan did not answer Ye Qing's question. Instead, he kept staring at Ye Qing.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time. Then Xi Quan pinched his chin and asked meaningfully, "What exactly did Liang Youjie say to you?"
Ye Qing paused, not expecting Xi Quan to be so insistent and still circling around this issue: "What he said doesn't matter, I won't agree anyway."
These words didn't seem to convince Xi Quan. He still squinted at Ye Qing and said, "You're avoiding the main point."
"It's really getting late, the dorms will be closing soon. If you're not busy, I'll go in first." Ye Qing felt a little guilty after Xi Quan's question.
After saying that, Ye Qing turned around, but before she could take a step, Xi Quan grabbed her.
"So what exactly do you want from me?" Ye Qing asked Xi Quan again, feeling helpless.
Previously, between Ye Qing and Xi Quan, Xi Quan was always the one who couldn't hold back. But this time, Xi Quan seemed to be particularly calm and collected, staring at Ye Qing intently, as if he wouldn't give up until Ye Qing spoke.
At first, although Xi Quan was jealous, he didn't insist on finding out what Ye Qing and Liang Youjie had talked about as much as he does now. He is petty, but he also knows that Ye Qing has the right and space to make friends.
Although Xi Quan asked casually, Ye Qing's extremely cautious demeanor heightened Xi Quan's curiosity and jealousy to the extreme, making him determined to get to the bottom of it.
So instead of answering Ye Qing's question, he asked a similar question: "So what did Liang Youjie want with you?"
Ye Qing was initially a little guilty, but when Xi Quan asked her this question in such a confrontational manner, Ye Qing got angry. She hadn't done anything wrong.
Admittedly, she is Xi Quan's girlfriend, but she is also an independent individual with friends. What's wrong with meeting up with friends?
She hadn't done anything shameful. Because Liang Youjie was so flamboyant, people who knew Ye Qing had already started gossiping. As her boyfriend, it was one thing for Xi Quan not to stand by her side, but he insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Shouldn't two people trust each other when they're together?
Ye Qing believed that Xi Quan did not trust her.
She spoke in a cool tone: "You insist on challenging me, don't you?"
"You think I'm being argumentative?" Xi Quan retorted, his tone nonchalant and inexplicably infuriating.
Ye Qing glared at Xi Quan for a moment, thinking to herself, "Fine, don't talk then." The instant Xi Quan lowered his head, Ye Qing turned around and ran quickly into the dormitory building.
After Xi Quan realized what was going on, he rushed to grab Ye Qing, but Ye Qing had already entered the dormitory. It was a girls' dormitory, and Xi Quan couldn't get in. He could only stand outside with his hands on his hips, angrily waiting for the dormitory building to open.
He kicked a stone on the ground one last time, cursed, and prepared to turn around.
After Ye Qing ran back to the dormitory, she pushed the door but couldn't open it, so she knocked on the door and asked Xu Xiaoyue to help her open it.
No one answered. Just then, someone passed by and said to Ye Qing, "I just saw Xu Xiaoyue going to visit someone?"
"Huh? Where did they go?" Ye Qing asked subconsciously.
"It seems she went to their class's dormitory."
"Thank you." Ye Qing frowned after thanking her. Xu Xiaoyue's class did not live in this dormitory building, and they probably wouldn't be back for a while.
She reached into her pocket to find her keys to open the door, thinking they were in her pocket because she hadn't changed her clothes after returning home when she received Liang Youjie's call and had to go out.
He reached into his pocket and found it was ripped open; the key was gone. Ye Qing instinctively grabbed his own pocket, wondering where the key might have fallen.
Actually, Ye Qing wasn't too worried about losing the dormitory key, but the lost key set included the shop key, and losing the key would be troublesome.
Although she was anxious, she still tried to recall that when she came back, because Xu Xiaoyue was there, the dormitory door was not closed properly, and Ye Qing just pushed the door open and went in without using a key.
So Ye Qing really couldn't say exactly when the key was lost, but it would be fine if it was in Liang Youjie's car or Xi Quan's car.
If you just leave it on the street, you probably won't be able to find it.
Just as Ye Qing was hesitating and anxiously wondering if she should get a new key made, she suddenly thought of Xi Quan. Could it be that he had returned because she had left her key in his car?
Otherwise, it would be strange if Xi Quan came to find him right after they parted ways. Even if Xi Quan wouldn't do that, it would still be a bit odd.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing quickly ran to the washroom, peered out the window to see if Xi Quan had left, and just then their eyes met.
Seeing that Xi Quan had looked away and was about to leave, Ye Qing instinctively wanted to call him back and ask him a question.
But thinking about how the two had parted on bad terms earlier, Ye Qing didn't exactly hesitate, but she did pause for a moment.
Although Xi Quan looked away, before he did, he saw Ye Qing's hesitant gaze. At first, he was a little puzzled, but when he caught a glimpse of Xu Xiaoyue's figure in the distance, Xi Quan seemed to understand why Ye Qing was doing this.
So Xi Quan took Ye Qing's key out of his pocket, swung it toward the window where Ye Qing was peering out, and then strode away.
Having confirmed that the key was in Xi Quan's hands, Ye Qing felt much more at ease. However, seeing Xi Quan's attitude, it didn't matter that Ye Qing couldn't enter the dormitory for the time being. What frustrated Ye Qing was that she still had to go to Xi Quan to get her key back.
Thinking about the unpleasant parting just now, Ye Qing felt that going to Xi Quan to get the key back was a really difficult task. In addition, she didn't know when Xu Xiaoyue would return, and she didn't know how much longer she would have to stand in the wind in the water room. Ye Qing was extremely melancholy for a moment.
Just as she turned to leave through the window, she saw Xu Xiaoyue walking over from around the corner.
No need to wait anymore, which finally brought a sliver of joy to the melancholy Ye Qing.
Gossip spreads the fastest, and although Xu Xiaoyue didn't go out with Ye Qing, she visited someone's house and already heard the gossip about Ye Qing at the school gate.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue's angry expression, Ye Qing couldn't help but tease her, "What's wrong with you? I went out without my keys and waited for you for so long, and I wasn't angry at all. Why are you angry?"
"You're so carefree!" Xu Xiaoyue said. "I'm not as carefree as you. I just had an argument with someone."
"What's wrong?" Ye Qing asked, then seemed to remember something: "It's about when I got into someone else's car at the school gate?"
"Yeah, why do you seem so unconcerned?" Xu Xiaoyue asked, puzzled.
Ye Qing blinked and said, "I guess it's because I've experienced so many angry things that I'm not surprised anymore. Besides, this is nothing, and I'm already angry. What if I encounter something even bigger?"
Ye Qing said this to comfort Xu Xiaoyue, but little did he expect it to come true.
