Ye Qing slowly opened her eyes, glanced at her surroundings, and suddenly sat up. She threw off the blanket and was about to get out of bed when her sudden movement startled Xu Xiaoyue, who was lying on the other side of the hospital bed.
"Ye Qing, you're awake!"
Ye Qing glanced at Xu Xiaoyue, then got out of bed and asked, "Why am I in the hospital again? Is the fire at the knitting factory out? Was the damage significant?"
Xu Xiaoyue didn't rush to answer Ye Qing's question. She quickly walked to the side of the hospital bed, helped Ye Qing sit down again, and said, "Don't worry, the people at the knitting factory are more nervous than you. After all, it was a fire in their workshop. You should rest well. The doctor said you were affected by the smoke and need to be checked to see if there are any other problems."
"Other problems?" Ye Qing looked at Xu Xiaoyue with suspicion.
"The doctor said you were exposed to carbon dioxide, so we'll just have to observe you for a while," Xu Xiaoyue comforted Ye Qing.
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, Ye Qing shook her head. She didn't feel dizzy or lightheaded, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she still wanted to go and see, Xu Xiaoyue strictly forbade her from doing so.
"You should get some rest, otherwise if Xi Quan finds out, he won't let me off the hook. Before he left, he said that if I didn't keep an eye on you, I shouldn't even think about making money as a model anymore. He's going to cut off my source of income," Xu Xiaoyue said quietly.
Although her tone was quite resentful, Ye Qing could tell that Xu Xiaoyue didn't actually mean to complain; she was just concerned about her. However, Ye Qing hesitated a bit when Xi Quan made such a threatening statement. She asked in confusion, "Xi Quan?"
Xu Xiaoyue poured Ye Qing a glass of water and handed it to her, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, it was your boyfriend who threatened me."
Although Xi Quan threatened Xu Xiaoyue, he still showed concern for Ye Qing. So it would be a lie to say that Ye Qing felt nothing at all; she was touched.
However, upon hearing Xu Xiaoyue's description of Xi Quan, Ye Qing's lips, which were about to curve into a smile, froze instantly. After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said, "Xi Quan and I have already broken up."
Xu Xiaoyue was slightly taken aback by Ye Qing's words. She didn't comfort her or ask for the specific reason. After a moment of silence, she said, "I called you because a customer came to the store and needed clothes altered. I wanted you to come back as soon as possible. At first, I called the workshop of the knitting factory but no one answered. Later, someone answered and I learned that the workshop was on fire, so I had to go there immediately. I met Xi Quan at the entrance of Huamao Hotel and told him. You didn't see his expression at that time."
Ye Qing listened quietly without saying a word. To be honest, although she didn't see it, since Xu Xiaoyue had mentioned it, she could guess that Xi Quan must have seemed very anxious at the time.
However, even though she could guess, Ye Qing still hoped to hear Xi Quan's specific performance. Humans are such contradictory auditory creatures, especially when it comes to emotions.
I hope to hear people say things like "I like you" and "I love you".
It's not vanity; it's a manifestation of gaining a strong sense of security. Especially for someone like Ye Qing, who has grown up with a sense of security, this is something she has always lacked. So, it's extremely important who can give her that sense of security.
So when Xu Xiaoyue stopped halfway through her sentence, Ye Qing became a little anxious, but he didn't want to urge or press her. So he subconsciously glanced at Xu Xiaoyue.
As if waiting for Ye Qing's questioning gaze, Xu Xiaoyue continued after receiving Ye Qing's look: "I've never been in a relationship, and I don't know what Xi Quan's attitude was when you two were together."
But after I told him that there was a fire where you were and that you were trapped inside, he immediately turned around to look for his car, but after taking two steps he stumbled and fell.
Can you imagine?
Right at the entrance of the Huamao Hotel, he fell and tried to get up, but perhaps his legs were too weak, he just couldn't stand up.
The staff at the Huamao Hotel saw him and quickly came over to help him up.
After we got in the car, he started driving, but his hands were shaking so badly he couldn't hold the steering wheel. So he called the driver from Huamao Hotel to take us to the knitting factory.
When he arrived at the knitting factory, the fire was still burning. Upon learning that you were inside, he staggered as he got out of the car and ran into the still-burning workshop, then carried you out, who had already fainted…
Xu Xiaoyue's voice was very calm, with almost no emotional fluctuations, but Ye Qing was deeply shocked, to the point that simple emotion could not be expressed.
From Xu Xiaoyue's words, the relationship between Ye Qing and Xi Quan is like that of fish and water.
Ye Qing was like water, and when Xi Quan heard that Ye Qing was in danger, he was like a fish stranded on the shore by a giant wave. Without the water that nourished him to survive, Xi Quan's hands and feet went numb, and he even felt like he was about to suffocate.
As soon as he got close to Ye Qing, it was as if he could smell the seawater, and he instantly came back to life.
Ye Qing was utterly shocked by this kind of emotion, feeling that she had no right to have such an important place in Xi Quan's heart.
"So Ye Qing, I think that no matter what the reason for your breakup was before, after this incident, you should think carefully about whether the decision to break up was the right one. If it was wrong, do you want to correct your mistake?"
It was rare for Xu Xiaoyue to be so reserved; she spoke with such earnestness. Ye Qing remained silent for a long time before returning Xu Xiaoyue's smile: "Thank you."
Not hearing a direct answer from Ye Qing, Xu Xiaoyue knew that Ye Qing probably had other thoughts in mind. As a friend, it wasn't appropriate to say too much, since outsiders couldn't see the whole picture of matters of the heart, and only the person experiencing it truly knew the joys and sorrows.
Therefore, in this situation, telling your friends what you saw truthfully is the greatest help you can give them.
At this moment, Ye Qing wasn't thinking about breaking up with Xi Quan; she was thinking about how to say she wouldn't break up.
After all, it was she who initiated the breakup.
Looking out the window, it was getting dark. Ye Qing suddenly remembered something and asked Xu Xiaoyue, "I was unconscious for a few days?"
"Are you trying to scare me? What do you mean by being unconscious for days? It was only a few hours! It happened in the afternoon, and it's evening now."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The interview program with Xi Quan and Liang Youjie was not scheduled to air yet; it was scheduled for tomorrow night.
Seeing Ye Qing's startled reaction, Xu Xiaoyue was just about to suggest going to the doctor to ask when the ward door was pushed open and two strangers entered.
Ye Qing asked, "Who are you...?"
"Police, we need to speak with you about the fire at the knitting factory."
Upon hearing the visitor's self-introduction, both Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue were somewhat surprised. They exchanged glances, and Ye Qing's heart sank. If the fire was an accident, the police shouldn't have come looking for her.
Now that they've come looking for me, does that mean the fire was really arson?
