Ye Qing saw the newspaper in the examination room. She was sitting in the first row, and the proctor was bored, so he picked up several newspapers to read to pass the time.
While the teacher was looking at other pages, the entertainment section happened to be in front of Ye Qing, and she saw it as soon as she looked up.
Because Ye Qing hadn't finished her exam paper, she glanced at the newspaper out of the corner of her eye while flipping through it. The first name she saw was Liang Youjie's. Ye Qing didn't take it seriously, since Liang Youjie was currently very popular and it was normal for him to appear in the entertainment section of the newspaper.
However, just as Ye Qing was about to continue writing the exam paper, she suddenly stopped, thinking about the picture she had just glanced at in the news, and the surrounding environment in the picture looked so familiar.
Ye Qing slowly raised her head and glanced at the newspaper again. When she saw what the familiar-looking picture was all about, she quickly skimmed through the news article.
When Ye Qing saw the news that she had become Liang Youjie's girlfriend, she almost broke the pen in her hand.
While still angry, Ye Qing heard the teacher say how long it would be before the exam was due. She could only suppress her anger and continue the exam. However, as she continued writing, she couldn't concentrate at all.
She glanced at what she had written, since today's exam was on the history of clothing development in various dynasties, which was something that required rote memorization. Ye Qing's writing was enough to pass, but she couldn't concentrate on the rest, so she simply stopped writing and handed in her paper.
The proctor was leisurely reading the newspaper when a test paper suddenly appeared in front of him. He was a little confused, but when he saw the name on the paper and remembered the news he had just seen, he subconsciously flipped the newspaper to the entertainment section.
Seeing the teacher's actions, Ye Qing became even angrier, not because she was angry with the teacher.
Since she had already handed in the test paper, Ye Qing left without caring what the teacher thought of her.
After leaving the examination room, Ye Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She found a public phone and called Liang Youjie.
On the other end of the phone, Liang Youjie felt very guilty and apologized for causing trouble for Ye Qing.
Ye Qing didn't want to hear this pointless talk, so she interrupted Liang Youjie's apologetic words: "Let's skip the apology for now, you need to clarify things."
At that time, the main medium for people to read the news was still newspapers. Although Ye Qing was praised to the skies in the news, she was still an unknown person in the end. She wanted to clarify, but no one paid any attention to her.
Therefore, we can only place our hopes on Liang Youjie.
However, Liang Youjie fell silent upon hearing Ye Qing's words.
The sudden silence on the phone made Ye Qing panic. She anxiously called out to Liang Youjie, "Say something!"
"I'll explain this to Xi Quan properly..."
Ye Qing was puzzled: "We need to explain to Xi Quan, but we also need to clarify that I'm not your girlfriend."
"Xi Quan is your boyfriend, that's enough for him to know. As for what others say..."
Compared to Ye Qing's anxiety, Liang Youjie seemed hesitant and indecisive. Ye Qing gradually realized something: "You're not doing this on purpose, are you?"
Liang Youjie had helped him before, and Ye Qing didn't want to speculate about Liang Youjie's intentions. But ever since that day, Liang Youjie had parked his car at the school gate as if he wanted everyone to see him, and even after Ye Qing had clearly indicated that he intended to move further away, he still honked his horn.
In addition, there's his stated purpose in searching for himself.
After putting things together, Ye Qing felt more and more that Liang Youjie must have done it on purpose.
With one hand gripping the phone tightly and the other twisting the phone cord, Ye Qing waited for Liang Youjie to say something, but there was only silence on the other end of the line.
In the end, Ye Qing hung up the phone without saying a word.
Although she disagreed with Liang Youjie's attitude, Liang Youjie was right about one thing: no matter what others thought, this matter should be explained to Xi Quan first.
So Ye Qing hung up Liang Youjie's call and called Xi Quan, but no one answered Xi Quan's mobile phone. He then paged him, and Ye Qing stood next to the public phone waiting for Xi Quan to call back.
Because Ye Qing left a pager message for Xi Quan, asking him to call back, the number on this public phone was the correct one. However, even after the exams were over and the campus returned to calm from its previous quiet and bustling state, Ye Qing still hadn't received Xi Quan's call.
Ye Qing realized that waiting like this wasn't a solution, so she decided to stop waiting and go find Xi Quan.
Who knew I'd run into Ye Shuang at the school gate?
Ye Qing paused for a moment, not stopping, but was stopped by Ye Shuang.
"I came here specifically to find you, isn't it unfair of you to avoid me like this?" Ye Shuang looked at Ye Qing with a half-smile.
Ye Qing was in a hurry to find Xi Quan, so she didn't want to talk to Ye Shuang anymore. Moreover, judging from Ye Shuang's attitude, it was clear that she hadn't come looking for anything good.
Since nothing good was coming out of it, Ye Qing felt there was no need for him to stay and listen to Ye Shuang say things that made him uncomfortable.
So Ye Qing merely glanced indifferently at Ye Shuang and prepared to leave, but since Ye Shuang had come specifically to find Ye Qing, how could she let Ye Qing leave so easily?
As soon as Ye Qing turned around, she heard Ye Shuang say, "Don't you want to know why you inexplicably became Liang Youjie's girlfriend and even made it into the entertainment news?"
Ye Qing slowed down because of Ye Shuang's words behind her. After taking a few steps, she stopped completely, then slowly turned around and stared at Ye Shuang.
Looking around at the people coming and going, Ye Shuang said, "You probably don't want to talk to me here, do you?"
Ye Qing blinked and walked forward first. When they reached a corner of the school playground, Ye Qing turned to look at Ye Shuang, who had been following her: "Speak."
"I don't know if Liang Youjie has a girlfriend, since the woman he's with isn't single, so he would never let anyone know about her. Whether he's thinking of her is hard to say, but from Liang Youjie's own perspective, he wouldn't let anyone know he's with a woman who isn't single."
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes, recalling what Liang Youjie had said when he came to see him that day, that he couldn't talk about his girlfriend. So that's how it was.
Although Ye Qing understood why Liang Youjie didn't want to clarify, she didn't quite understand why she was so unlucky as to be dragged into such a thing.
Ye Shuang seemed to sense Ye Qing's question and said, "Are you particularly curious about why you got involved?"
Ye Qing didn't deny it, but she didn't admit it either. Instead, she followed up on Ye Shuang's words and asked, "What I'm more curious about is, you came all this way to find me just to tell me this? Are you really that kind?"
While having a girlfriend is certainly unpleasant, Ye Qing has to be wary of Ye Shuang, who has schemed against him and whom he has also mocked.
With a smile, Ye Shuang said, "I really didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to see you lose everything."
