Ye Qing's words made Xi Quan suddenly realize that he had given himself away. His pent-up anger was instantly extinguished. He awkwardly scratched his head, then distanced himself from Ye Qing. He tried to say something several times, but he didn't know what to say.
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow, turned around, opened the door, and stood at the doorway, waiting for Xi Quan to leave on his own.
Just as Xi Quan was about to succeed in feigning drunkenness, Ye Qing suddenly discovered him and he faced the prospect of being kicked out. This was an embarrassing situation no matter how you looked at it. Although Xi Quan wasn't so desperate as to want to disappear into the ground, he knew that leaving quickly was the best way to avoid a fight between the two of them.
However, Xi Quan also knew that since Ye Qing had discovered his act of pretending to be drunk, she would probably avoid him like the plague from now on, whether he bumped into her intentionally or unintentionally.
Just thinking about it makes Xi Quan feel like he can't accept it, even though they're currently broken up.
Just as he was hesitating, his cell phone rang. Although he couldn't see the caller ID, Xi Quan answered it anyway, even though the timing was inconvenient.
After all, this was a way to avoid the awkwardness of staring at Ye Qing, and it also allowed him to linger in Ye Qing's shop a little longer. Otherwise, judging from Ye Qing's attitude, he would probably kick him out at any moment.
Ye Qing wanted to get rid of Xi Quan immediately, but seeing Xi Quan's expression change after answering the phone, Ye Qing hesitated in her attempt to shoo him away.
Because Xi Quan was very close to her, Ye Qing vaguely heard the contents of the phone call: "Hahaha, buddy, how did it go? Did it work?"
Ye Qing was surprised and instinctively glanced at Xi Quan. Xi Quan was too preoccupied with his own embarrassment to notice Ye Qing looking at him. He hesitated and did not answer, and even made a move to hang up the phone.
But before he could hang up, the voice on the other end was faster: "Let me tell you, the 'forced marriage' tactic really works every time, so you won't have to worry about Ye Qing nagging you to break up with her anymore..."
Before the person on the other end of the phone could finish speaking, Xi Quan hung up. After calming himself down a bit, he turned around and saw Ye Qing standing behind him, looking at him with a half-smile. Xi Quan nervously swallowed.
Ye Qing laughed: "Is that Liang Lu from the voice on the phone?"
The call was from Liang Lu, but Xi Quan neither nodded nor shook his head, and just silently looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was just asking casually; whether she answered or not wasn't important to her. "So, you've already made it a fait accompli? Wouldn't it be even better if we had a child? Have you all forgotten that I'm still in school? If I have a child, I won't be able to continue my studies, and I'll become even more dependent on you. Wouldn't that be great?"
Although Ye Qing was laughing, Xi Quan could tell that Ye Qing was angry, and from Ye Qing's words, he could also tell that Ye Qing must have heard what was happening on the phone.
Moreover, Ye Qing had already realized that he was faking being drunk, and Xi Quan knew that he could only stand at attention and take the beating now.
Actually, if standing at attention and taking a beating could appease Ye Qing, Xi Quan would be happy to do so.
So I kept quiet.
Ye Qing didn't seem to expect Xi Quan to say anything, so she wasn't disappointed to see Xi Quan's silence. She then continued, "But Xi Quan, we've known each other for more than just a day or two. Do you think I would have the child?"
"No way!" Before Xi Quan could even speak, Ye Qing gave a negative answer: "I grew up without a father, so I know all too well what that feels like. So even if I had a child, I wouldn't have it. So don't even think about any crooked ideas. You know, I've always been a cold-blooded person."
Xi Quan originally didn't want to speak, because he was afraid that it would turn into him defending himself, but he felt very uncomfortable with Ye Qing's words.
"You don't need to say that you're cold-blooded. I admit that it was a bit immoral of me to pretend to be drunk today, but you don't need to think of me as someone who is utterly wicked and would do something to you when you're still graduating."
After saying that, Xi Quan didn't linger in Ye Qing's shop and left immediately.
After he left, Ye Qing remained silent in the shop for a long time.
Even if Xi Quan didn't say it, she knew he wouldn't do anything today. Pretending to be drunk and staying was already the limit; it was all because he liked her.
Although they had separated, Ye Qing found that she seemed to see Xi Quan more often at the Huamao Hotel.
These past few days, Ye Qing has been seeing Xi Quan's figure at the entrance of Huamao Hotel from time to time. Although he always walks in a hurry, as if he is just passing by, Ye Qing's eyes always meet Xi Quan's unintentionally when he is about to look away.
Although his gaze wasn't lingering or tender, it was at least filled with longing.
If Xi Quan is like this, then Ye Qing is no different.
It wasn't that Ye Qing wasn't brave enough to try again with Xi Quan, but rather that she didn't want to wait until their feelings were so deep that they couldn't be separated, only to suffer every day.
After all, neither Quan Zhen nor Ye Shuwei are pushovers.
Quan Zhen clearly doesn't want her to be with Xi Quan, and who knows what methods she'll use.
As the saying goes, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
And no matter what, Ye Qing had a rather unforgettable New Year's Eve today!
This was the first time someone had set off fireworks specifically for her.
Since the shop was closed during the Chinese New Year, Ye Qing would draw clothing design sketches in her spare time and then figure out how to make them on her own.
Occasionally, Xu Xiaoyue would come to ask me to go out to parks or temple fairs. Until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I had a pleasant time and didn't have time to think about too many upsetting things.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the store reopened.
Xu Xiaoyue had nothing to do at home, so she came to the store to help out every day. Since it was right after the New Year, there weren't many people buying clothes, and business wasn't as good as before the New Year. But for Ye Qing, this was a good opportunity to design spring clothes and make them as soon as possible.
After such a busy time, the start of the school year arrived quickly.
After registering for the start of the semester, before classes even began, the department head had the counselor find Ye Qing.
Ye Qing initially thought it was about Liu Wei. After all, Liu Wei was still a student at the school, and the school would definitely have to take a stance on such matters. Moreover, it wasn't a secret that Ye Qing had a past conflict with Liu Wei, so he could imagine and understand why Liu Wei was asking him about the situation.
But unexpectedly, it wasn't about Liu Wei, but something Ye Qing had never imagined.
"Going abroad?" Ye Qing asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's a collaborative project between the school and the company."
Ye Qing wasn't unwilling to go out and learn more, but she was also aware of her own limitations: "But such projects should be for juniors and seniors, right? I'm only a freshman, so I probably don't meet the requirements."
Therefore, Ye Qing didn't quite understand why the department head wanted to talk to her.
The department head said, "Although you are only a freshman, our school is not so rigid. We will not artificially create such obstacles to deprive good students of this opportunity."
Hearing this made Ye Qing feel quite good, and she asked uncertainly, "So my name is on the list of people going abroad for this project?"
That's not what I meant.
