Ye Qing nodded after Liang Youjie finished speaking: "I know."
"You know?" Liang Youjie was extremely surprised to see Ye Qing's calm demeanor.
Xu Xiaoyue hadn't intended to listen to what Liang Youjie and Ye Qing were saying; she was just being polite by pouring Liang Youjie a glass of water. She had barely placed the glass down and handed it to him when she heard Ye Qing's reply.
Xu Xiaoyue was also taken aback by Ye Qing's words, and she and Liang Youjie looked at Ye Qing in surprise.
Ye Qing looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "When I first heard Xi Quan say that on TV yesterday, I was indeed a little shocked. I was afraid that Xi Quan and I had indeed broken up, but Xi Quan didn't seem like the kind of person who would kick someone after they've served their purpose. I realized that when I watched the rebroadcast later."
"Huh?" Xu Xiaoyue and Liang Youjie both showed the same surprised expression.
Ye Qing looked at Xu Xiaoyue with amusement: "Didn't you say I was obsessed yesterday? I'm not obsessed. I just suddenly thought of a possibility and practiced in front of the mirror."
"What do you mean?" Xu Xiaoyue asked.
Ye Qing said, "The lip movements of Xi Quan on TV are different from what people hear when it is broadcast. What people hear when it is broadcast on TV is probably dubbed in post-production."
Her words made Liang Youjie and Xu Xiaoyue suddenly realize the truth.
Liang Youjie, in particular, belatedly snapped his fingers and said, "I knew it! I was right next to Xi Quan at the time, and I heard everything he said clearly. How come it was different when it was broadcast? It turns out it was dubbed. How come I didn't think of that?"
After belatedly realizing his mistake, Liang Youjie was still puzzled: "But this doesn't make sense either. When I participated in the interview, it was Xi Quan who contacted me. He seemed very angry that the news linked me with you. Although it's been clarified now, his attitude was still..."
After Xu Xiaoyue learned why Ye Qing had seemed "obsessed" last night, she left without staying to listen to what Ye Qing and Liang Youjie were saying.
Therefore, Ye Qing spoke to Liang Youjie without any reservations, and didn't need to ask Liang Youjie if he was afraid of people knowing certain things. So Ye Qing asked directly, "Are you aware of the complicated relationship between your girlfriend Su Mei and Xi Quan?"
Liang Youjie was a little surprised when he first heard Ye Qing's words, but when he thought of Xi Quan, he was not surprised and nodded: "I know, Su Mei is also from our hometown, but she is from the provincial capital. I met her because of Xi Quan."
Ye Qing didn't expect to know more. She mentioned Su Mei to explain Xi Quan's possible thoughts to Liang Youjie.
So Ye Qing didn't press Liang Youjie's questions after hearing his words, and continued along her own train of thought: "Since you know about the complicated relationship between Su Mei and Xi Quan, you should know what kind of person Xi Quan's mother, Quan Zhen, is. I think the reason Xi Quan re-dubbed the voice later was probably because he was afraid that his mother would cause me trouble."
I had previously heard Xi Yue talk about the complicated relationship involved. Ye Qing had gone to Xi Quan, hoping that the show would not be broadcast, but Xi Quan refused.
Ye Qing could tell that Xi Quan's refusal at that time was genuine.
As for why he changed his attitude so suddenly, it's probably because he almost got burned by the fire.
Ye Shuang came to find Ye Qing. Although she didn't say anything, Ye Qing could tell from Ye Shuang's fear that Ye Shuwei must have been involved in the fire.
Judging from Xi Quan's attitude, Quan Zhen should also be involved!
Thinking back to when she first saw Xi Quan, and how Xi Quan pretended not to recognize her, and then to Xi Quan's attitude on TV, Ye Qing felt more and more certain that she had guessed correctly.
Xi Quan probably didn't want to cause trouble for himself, and Ye Qing was naturally touched.
However, unlike the characters in romance novels who are head over heels in love, she is determined to stay with Xi Quan even after all this.
Ye Qing is pragmatic and would not give up everything for love.
Her mother's experience served as a stark warning to Ye Qing.
So since Quan Zhen went so far as to set a fire to prevent Ye Qing from being with Xi Quan, Ye Qing will definitely not continue her relationship with Xi Quan.
It wasn't because Ye Qing was scared, but because in Ye Qing's heart, feelings didn't hold such an important place. The reason she got together with Xi Quan in the first place wasn't because of feelings.
So when Ye Qing saw the rebroadcast on TV yesterday and learned about Xi Quan's attitude, she felt relieved.
She would cherish Xi Quan's kindness to her deeply, but as for being together... Ye Qing admitted that she didn't have the decisive courage of Romeo and Juliet.
Liang Youjie was unaware of the fire, so even after Ye Qing explained why Xi Quan had acted that way, he still felt a little apologetic: "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."
When Ye Qing first saw the news, she was indeed a little annoyed with Liang Youjie. Later, when she called Liang Youjie, his attitude was the same, which made Ye Qing angry and furious.
But after learning more, Ye Qing wasn't so angry anymore. She also realized that Liang Youjie was actually acting passively. "Actually, it's not your fault. You were probably acting passively too."
Liang Youjie smiled but didn't say anything. "Anyway, it's already like this, so let's just accept it."
After saying that, Liang Youjie looked around Ye Qing's shop and said, "Your business seems pretty good."
"It's alright. You know I live alone. I'm all alone, so I don't have to worry about anyone else," Ye Qing said.
"If you're not too busy, let's have lunch together. Consider it my way of apologizing."
Hearing Liang Youjie say this, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Apologizing is too serious. Let's skip the meal. What if someone sees us again... I've broken up with Xi Quan, so I'm not worried, but you have a girlfriend."
"They broke up too."
Even though Ye Qing's smile was formulaic, it froze on her face when she heard Liang Youjie's words: "When...when?"
“Yesterday,” Liang Youjie chuckled self-deprecatingly, “I guess it was the same attitude Xi Quan had towards you. Su Mei was afraid that Quan Zhen might do something else that would implicate me, so she broke up with me. I only found out after the breakup that she had completed the procedures for going abroad and even bought her plane ticket. Although I was angry, I thought about it again and realized that it was for the best. After all, no one knows what Xi Quan’s mother might do next. Besides, it’s always a good thing for her to go abroad, so I have no reason to interfere, right?”
His thoughts were similar to Ye Qing's, and it was because they were similar that Ye Qing understood Liang Youjie.
But despite her understanding, Ye Qing still refused to have dinner with him.
Liang Youjie wasn't disappointed. He had said everything he needed to say to Ye Qing and apologized, which was enough. Just before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, there's something I just heard about. Although I think it's unlikely, you should still be careful."
