Although Ye Qing didn't have high hopes when she asked Xu Xiaoyue, she couldn't help but feel disappointed when she saw Xu Xiaoyue's expression.
In particular, Xu Xiaoyue's hesitant expression told Ye Qing that everyone had probably seen the newspaper and there were likely rumors circulating at school.
It's better to hear the gossip from Xiaoyue than from other people.
After mentally preparing herself, Ye Qing asked, "Are there many rumors about me at school?"
Xu Xiaoyue had already turned to do something else when she heard Ye Qing's words. She paused, turned slightly, and looked at Ye Qing: "Actually, the rumors at school aren't too bad. After all, nobody knows about your relationship with Xi Quan. Once the news came out that you were Liang Youjie's girlfriend, some people were envious, some were jealous... After all, Liang Youjie is so popular right now, but..."
Just as Xu Xiaoyue said, if the news about her at school was just about envy or jealousy, that would be fine. Seeing Xu Xiaoyue become hesitant again, Ye Qing could guess what Xu Xiaoyue wanted to say: "You mean to talk about Xi Quan, right?"
"Yes, I didn't see Xi Quan, but the two young ladies in the store said that Xi Quan left the keys and left. His attitude was completely different from when I went to the store before. Did he misunderstand something? Didn't you explain it to Xi Quan?"
Xu Xiaoyue was genuinely worried about Ye Qing.
Ye Qing sighed deeply: "I called and paged Xi Quan as soon as I saw the news, but he hasn't replied or seen me yet."
After saying that, Ye Qing gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Ye Qing had never placed much importance on relationships, but since spending time with Xi Quan, relationships, while not the most important thing, had gradually become indispensable.
Otherwise, why would I feel so sad right now?
But just when feelings were slowly becoming indispensable to her, Xi Quan... Ye Qing covered her face with her hands and remained silent for a while. When she put her hands down again, there was no emotion in her eyes, only calmness.
Ye Qing thought to herself that it seemed her previous idea was right; feelings were completely unnecessary, and making money was the most practical thing to do.
Thinking about the orders from Xi Quan's company, Ye Qing took a deep breath: "Get some rest, we'll be busy tomorrow. We've already agreed with the knitting factory to design the uniforms, but we need to finalize the fabric as soon as possible, otherwise we'll have to wait until after the New Year holiday, which will waste time."
In the past, Ye Qing might not have taken this order, but now Ye Qing wouldn't be so fussy. Why not make money when there's money to be made?
Moreover, the contract had already been signed, and if Ye Qing went back on his word now, he wouldn't have enough money to pay compensation.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xu Xiaoyue said, "By the way, have all the students in your department finished their exams?"
"Yes, all the exams are over this afternoon." Ye Qing nodded. Because she saw the news and left the exam hall immediately, Ye Qing had almost forgotten about it. Hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, Ye Qing guessed what she meant: "I don't have much stuff. I'll pack up tomorrow and move into the shop to live."
Winter break is different from summer break. Usually, there's no one in the dorm during winter break. Xu Xiaoyue originally wanted to suggest that Ye Qing stay at her house for the Chinese New Year, but after hearing Ye Qing's arrangements, Xu Xiaoyue knew that Ye Qing had already made up her mind, so she didn't say anything.
Ye Qing was essentially on vacation, but she still got up early the next day, quickly packed her things, and went to the shop. After putting her things in the shop and waiting for the young lady she had hired to arrive, Ye Qing went to the wholesale market that specializes in selling fabrics to look at some fabrics.
After everything was settled and agreed upon, Ye Qing returned to the shop in the afternoon. She had just sat down and taken a sip of water, and before she could even put down her glass, she saw Xi Quan.
Startled for a moment, Ye Qing put down her water glass, quickly pushed open the door and went out, calling after Xi Quan.
Xi Quan was about to start the car when he saw Ye Qing standing in front of it, so he stopped.
Seeing this, Ye Qing opened the car door and got in. She glanced at Xi Quan and asked, "I called you yesterday and left you a pager message. Did you see it?"
Xi Quan's fingers, which were tapping the steering wheel, stopped abruptly at Ye Qing's words. After a moment of silence, he said, "Busy."
Ye Qing swallowed hard, looking at Xi Quan who hadn't turned to look at her, and said, "So you saw it, right?"
Xi Quan was stunned again by Ye Qing's words. He blinked and was just thinking about what to say when he heard Ye Qing say, "I understand."
The calm "I understand" sent a sudden, inexplicable shiver down Xi Quan's spine. He abruptly turned to Ye Qing: "What do you know? What do you mean?"
"Since you saw my message to you, but you didn't make a single phone call, even though I've never been in a relationship before, I know that for someone who is in a relationship, this represents a certain attitude."
"Ye Qing!" Xi Quan called out angrily upon hearing Ye Qing's words, his restrained emotions rising. He said, "Now you're blaming me. That day, when Liang Youjie came to see you, I repeatedly asked you what he wanted, but you wouldn't tell the truth. Now that it's in the news, I only found out. Shouldn't I have some feelings about this?"
Ye Qing nodded: "You should indeed have feelings. I didn't tell you why Liang Youjie came to me back then. At that time, I felt I was very open and had nothing to say, but I didn't expect things to turn out this way. No matter what I thought back then, I do bear responsibility for this. I understand that you have feelings, but I'm talking about your attitude."
"What was my attitude?" Xi Quan asked subconsciously.
Ye Qing said, "Even after you saw my message, you still left the key in the store and refused to see me. This attitude shows that you don't want to see me. Moreover, I was indeed in the wrong in the news, so let's break up."
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan clicked his tongue and laughed angrily, "Ye Qing, you're really something. You didn't even tell me before I became your boyfriend, and now you're breaking up with me without giving me a chance to speak. Do you think I'm completely under your control and have to do whatever you say?"
"At first, we were in a fake boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but later..." Ye Qing tried to clarify the relationship between the two, but when she saw Xi Quan's gloomy and angry expression, she swallowed the rest of her words.
Seeing that Ye Qing was no longer talking, Xi Quan said what was on his mind: "You said I was ignoring you, so why didn't you come looking for me? Oh, no, you did come looking for me, but the first thing you did was question me. It seems like I wasn't the one who did something wrong."
