Ye Qing bought the TV so that she could watch the interview program featuring Xi Quan and Liang Youjie on time, so when the time came, Ye Qing sat in front of the TV right on time.
The main purpose of this interview was to clarify the relationship between Liang Youjie and Ye Qing, so the host started by jokingly asking Liang Youjie about his girlfriend. Liang Youjie took the opportunity to clarify his relationship with Ye Qing and even steered the conversation towards Xi Quan.
Although Ye Qing never expected that Xi Quan would admit his relationship with her on television when she first learned about the show.
Even if we calculate the timeline, Ye Qing shouldn't have met Xi Quan when he was interviewed on TV, so the two hadn't broken up yet. However, Ye Qing felt that it would seem a bit deliberate for Xi Quan to say that she was his girlfriend.
Even though she had no expectations, Ye Qing still found it hard to accept what Xi Quan said on television.
After Liang Youjie clarified his relationship with Ye Qing, Xi Quan actually said that he and Ye Qing were merely acquaintances, and could not even be considered familiar.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing was stunned. He couldn't hear anything Xi Quan and Liang Youjie said afterward.
She was completely stunned.
"This..." Xu Xiaoyue had been staying at Ye Qing's shop for the past few days. She and Ye Qing watched TV together, and she was even thinking of taking the opportunity to get Ye Qing and Xi Quan back together.
Xu Xiaoyue was extremely surprised by Xi Quan's words and stammered, unsure of what to say. However, when she turned to see Ye Qing looking equally astonished, she didn't press the matter further.
Feeling Xu Xiaoyue's gaze, Ye Qing turned to look at her and said with a smile, "I'm fine."
She said she was fine, but Ye Qing sat up straight without moving. After glancing at Xu Xiaoyue, Ye Qing turned her gaze back to the television and stared at it intently, even after Xi Quan's interview program ended and commercials had started.
Even though the advertisements were all for treating gynecological diseases, prostate problems, or genital warts, rheumatoid arthritis, and so on—the kind of small ads that you see on telephone poles—Ye Qing still didn't look away and kept staring at the TV.
Xu Xiaoyue called Ye Qing several times during this time, but Ye Qing only glanced at her before turning his attention back to the television...
As the night drew to a close and the television began rebroadcasting the previous interview, Ye Qing's listless eyes brightened again, and he stared intently at it.
Having already seen it before, Xu Xiaoyue knew roughly where Xi Quan would mention Ye Qing. So, seeing that they were about to talk about their relationship with Ye Qing, Xu Xiaoyue walked to the TV, pressed the off button, and prepared to turn it off. But Ye Qing rushed over and grabbed Xu Xiaoyue, saying, "Don't turn it off."
Xu Xiaoyue, who was pulled away by Ye Qing, was not angry. She just didn't quite understand Ye Qing's actions and looked at Ye Qing with heartache.
Ye Qing didn't notice Xu Xiaoyue's gaze. After pulling Xu Xiaoyue away, he continued to stare at the TV without blinking, just like before. Then he turned to look at the mirror in the store where people were trying on clothes, opened his mouth in front of the mirror, said a few words, and then turned back to the TV.
Noticing Ye Qing talking to herself in front of the mirror, Xu Xiaoyue was startled, glanced at Ye Qing in fright, and then turned off the TV.
This time, Ye Qing didn't stop Xu Xiaoyue. Seeing Xu Xiaoyue's surprised look, Ye Qing smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's getting late, go to sleep early."
Ye Qing's attitude and expression were completely different before and after, and Xu Xiaoyue was very worried. "Ye Qing, are you really okay?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Ye Qing asked Xu Xiaoyue with amusement.
“Look…” Although Ye Qing seemed fine now, Xu Xiaoyue was really frightened by how Ye Qing had been talking to himself in the mirror just now. She organized her thoughts and came up with a more appropriate word to describe it: “You looked like you were possessed just now.”
Ye Qing was taken aback. She hadn't expected that her expression earlier had worried her friend. She explained, "I... I'm really fine. It's not because Xi Quan denied our relationship."
Xu Xiaoyue clearly didn't believe him, looking at Ye Qing with an attitude of "okay, whatever you say." Xu Xiaoyue felt that if she said a few more words, she might provoke Ye Qing.
Ye Qing wanted to explain, but found that Xu Xiaoyue didn't seem to believe him at all after he finished speaking, and it seemed like they were just talking to themselves, so Ye Qing stopped explaining.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't quite believe what Ye Qing said, so she didn't sleep well that night. The next day, she kept an eye on Ye Qing, afraid that he might do something rash.
However, Xu Xiaoyue's cautious attitude made Ye Qing a little uncomfortable.
When Xu Xiaoyue looked at him cautiously again, Ye Qing couldn't help but put down his pen and say, "Xiaoyue, I'm really fine, don't worry."
"I..." Xu Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed when Ye Qing noticed her attention: "I was just afraid you might do something rash."
Ye Qing said, "How could I possibly be so depressed? I've told you before, Xi Quan and I have already broken up, and I was the one who initiated the breakup. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who would be depressed. In my heart, nothing is more important than making money. Only with money can I feel secure."
That seems to be the case. Xu Xiaoyue wondered if she was overthinking it: "Really?"
"Of course, I..." Ye Qing nodded firmly to Xu Xiaoyue, wanting to say something more, but then a customer entered the shop. Ye Qing turned around and said, "Welcome..."
Upon seeing who it was, Ye Qing didn't even finish saying "Welcome."
"Why are you here?" Ye Qing asked, pulling herself together from her thoughts.
It was Liang Youjie who arrived. Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, he smiled and shrugged: "So you're saying you don't welcome me?"
Ye Qing shook her head: "No, I'm just a little curious. My shop mainly sells women's clothing."
“I know I didn’t come here to buy clothes, I just have something I want to talk to you about,” Liang Youjie said.
To be honest, Ye Qing was surprised to hear Liang Youjie say that. She glanced outside the shop and saw that no one was watching. Ye Qing thought that she couldn't let Liang Youjie stand at the door like that forever. If someone saw him, it might attract a crowd.
Ye Qing nodded and led Liang Youjie into the inner room.
“I don’t know what to say. Because of the news, you’ve had some trouble. Xi Quan came to me and said he would record a program to clarify his relationship with you. I thought Xi Quan didn’t care about the news and believed in you, but who knew that what was broadcast yesterday was…” Liang Youjie started before Ye Qing could ask, then sighed and said, “Xi Quan didn’t say that on the spot.”
