Although Ye Qing knew that her smile might not look so natural, she was unusually flustered in the face of Xi Quan's coldness.
Even though they had broken up, they were still people she liked, and she never thought of never seeing them again.
Xi Quan's attitude now reminded Ye Qing of the phrase "never to speak with each other again," and the thought made his heart ache.
However, just as Ye Qing was anxiously waiting for Xi Quan's response, Xi Quan merely glanced at her, then walked away expressionlessly, heading straight for his grandparents.
Admittedly, Quan Zhen didn't get a good look from Xi Quan, but seeing Xi Quan also giving Ye Qing a cold shoulder, Quan Zhen felt less angry.
Quan Zhen gave Ye Qing a forced smile, then turned and left.
Originally, she wanted to go to Xi Quan's grandparents' house to express her "condolences" to Xi Yue.
However, now that Xi Quan has gone, Quan Zhen won't go, to avoid arguing with Xi Quan. Although Quan Zhen isn't exactly popular with Xi Quan's grandparents, she doesn't think it's necessary to go out of her way and make a fool of herself.
After Quan Zhen left, Ye Qing stood there and looked in Xi Quan's direction until Xi Quan's figure was no longer visible before Ye Qing turned and left.
Previously, when there were no classes at school, Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue would stay at the shop. Now that Xi Yue has vandalized the shop, it's temporarily uninhabitable, so Ye Qing has gone back to her school dormitory.
When she returned, Xu Xiaoyue was already back, and had finished washing up. She was curled up reading a novel. When she saw Ye Qing return, Xu Xiaoyue put down her book and asked, "How did it go? Did Xi Yue's grandparents give you any more trouble?"
Ye Qing shook her head: "No."
She drank a glass of water, held it in both hands, and remained silent for a while. After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qing said, "Actually, they are quite pitiful too."
There are only Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue in the dormitory now, so there's no need to hide anything from others. Therefore, when Xu Xiaoyue heard Ye Qing say this, she didn't hide her attitude.
"There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Didn't they say that Xi Yue was raised by those two? Who can they blame for raising her like this? Besides, Xi Yue even wrecked the shop!" Xu Xiaoyue smacked her lips and said. Then, she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what did the police say about Xi Yue?"
"I didn't know Xi Quan went with him. I just took his grandparents back and came back." Ye Qing felt a pang of sadness when she recalled Xi Quan's attitude when she met him.
"Then you didn't see Xi Quan?"
Ye Qing wanted to shake his head, but he had indeed seen them. However, he didn't say anything. Ever since the two of them worked together to get rid of Xiaoyao Village, they had never been so... cold to each other!
Even right after a breakup.
Although they haven't gotten back together yet, Xi Quan has always acted like he's determined to cling to Ye Qing. Now that he's suddenly so cold, Ye Qing doesn't know if she's feeling uncomfortable or if she senses that Xi Quan doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. Anyway, Ye Qing suddenly feels a little panicked.
If the two hadn't broken up yet, Ye Qing wouldn't have been so upset. The problem is that they've been broken up for a while now, and she's actually feeling reluctant to let go, which is a bit awkward.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaoyue asked, seeing Ye Qing looking preoccupied. She thought Ye Qing was worried about the shop. She said, "After you saw Xi Yue's grandparents off, and after the shop was cleaned up, I took a quick look. Only the glass door was broken. Everything else was fine. The finished clothes were still good. When I came back, the two ladies and I ironed all the clothes, whether they were hanging or on the mannequins, and checked them again. There were no problems."
Ye Qing was naturally worried about her shop, but she hadn't had time to think about it before. Now, hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, she felt much more at ease, after all, those clothes were her hard work.
"Didn't Xi Yue's grandparents say they would compensate for the losses? So don't worry," Xu Xiaoyue reassured Ye Qing again.
Ye Qing put aside her thoughts and temporarily stopped thinking about Xi Quan. She said, "Xi Yue's grandparents have already paid the compensation."
"Xi Yue is really..." Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but say again, she was really too angry. After all, Xu Xiaoyue had put a lot of effort into Qingye store.
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that, Ye Qing recalled the topic she had been hesitant to mention earlier: "Actually, given Xi Yue's current state, I don't think I have any right to blame her..."
"Hey, Ye Qing, what are you thinking about?" Xu Xiaoyue didn't understand the whole story, and when she heard Ye Qing say this, she wanted to comfort her.
Ye Qing shook her head, explained Xi Yue's illness to Xu Xiaoyue, and then said, "Although I know I didn't know Ye Shuwei was my biological father before that, just thinking about how awful he is makes me..."
“He’s gotten what he deserved,” Xu Xiaoyue said.
That's true. You can't get too hung up on things, or you'll really go crazy.
Ye Qing sat by herself for a while, then went to wash up.
The next day, Ye Qing had two long classes in the morning, so she didn't get up that early. Before she even left the dormitory, Xu Xiaoyue, who had attended the first two classes, came back in a huff.
Ye Qing had just finished washing her face and came back. She glanced at Xu Xiaoyue's appearance, put down the basin and towel, and asked, "What's wrong? get out of class isn't over yet."
When Xu Xiaoyue returned to the dormitory and didn't see Ye Qing, she assumed Ye Qing had already left. So she didn't hide her emotions and became a little nervous when she saw Ye Qing. When she heard Ye Qing's words, Xu Xiaoyue's eyes became even more evasive: "It's nothing, I just had a fight with someone."
"Why? And with whom?" Ye Qing asked.
Xu Xiaoyue downplayed the issue, saying, "It's nothing serious, just about reserving seats in class."
Arguing with someone over this is indeed making a mountain out of a molehill, but Ye Qing also knows Xu Xiaoyue. Although she is usually carefree, she is definitely not the kind of person who would actively seek trouble. If she can argue with someone over such a small matter, it means that the other party may have really gone too far.
Although Ye Qing wanted to ask Xu Xiaoyue what was wrong and offer her some comfort, class had already ended while they were talking, and Ye Qing had to hurry to class or she would be late, so she didn't say much to Xu Xiaoyue and left with her textbooks.
Hearing the dormitory door close, Xu Xiaoyue belatedly realized what was happening and wanted to call Ye Qing, but Ye Qing had already left the dormitory building. Moreover, the first two large classes had ended, and the quiet dormitory building had begun to become briefly noisy. If she were to shout to stop Ye Qing at this time, it would seem too deliberate, so Xu Xiaoyue gave up.
Ye Qing found the classroom, but before she could find a seat, she felt people pointing and staring at her. Ye Qing slowed her pace and her eyes were filled with wariness. Just as she was about to pull someone aside to ask what was going on, Liu Yuliang quietly beckoned to her and asked her to sit next to him.
Ye Qing hesitated for a moment. Could it be that someone had misunderstood her and Liu Yuliang?
