Upon hearing this, Ye Qing instinctively stiffened.
It gave her the feeling that she had gotten it without any effort. She had originally intended to test Xi Quan about this matter, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't have to ask him directly. Now that they had spoken, she didn't need to ask Xi Quan directly, although the method was somewhat questionable.
To hear more clearly, Ye Qing walked forward a little further, but accidentally bumped into the metal wall.
Although the sound wasn't particularly shrill, Xi Quan and Liang Lu noticed it.
Startled, Ye Qing was momentarily at a loss for what to do. She instinctively covered her mouth and then cautiously moved to the side, step by step. However, even as she moved in these small steps, Ye Qing still caught a glimpse of Xi Quan's trouser hem, which startled her so much that she quickly moved even further in.
Afterwards, Ye Qing stood there, patting her heart and still feeling shaken, trying to calm herself down. Once she had composed herself, Ye Qing had no intention of leaving. In her opinion, Xi Quan and Liang Lu probably wouldn't say anything more.
Just as she lifted her foot to leave, she heard Xi Quan's voice: "Why ask so many questions? What's it to you?"
“Originally, it didn’t have anything to do with me, but Ye Qing initially intended to use me for this. I later felt it wasn’t appropriate, so I told you. It’s somewhat related to me now, so tell me about it.”
Xi Quan said, "What would you do if you were in that situation?"
Ye Qing found their conversation frustrating; wouldn't it be better to just give the result directly?! Honestly! Ye Qing kept yawning, but while yawning, she heard Liang Lu speak up: "If this had happened before the divorce, I would have definitely killed them... So now, thinking about what Ye Qing said about you, you've really gotten carried away. Back then, you..."
Xi Quan quickly interrupted Liang Lu's reflections and addressed the question Liang Lu had asked at the beginning, the one that had piqued his curiosity.
Similarly, Ye Qing also got the answer she wanted, but was shocked by Xi Quan's answer!
Ye Qing stared in disbelief for a long time, his face expressionless except for surprise, until someone came from the iron sheet's side to call Liang Lu.
Liang Lu seemed to have been startled by Xi Quan's words. When he heard someone call him, he cursed under his breath and then left.
Because of the commotion on the other side of the metal sheet, Ye Qing finally came to his senses, still finding it hard to believe what he had just heard.
After Xu Xiaoyue finished shooting, she came to find Ye Qing: "Let's go. I thought Liang Lu would shoot it himself, but who knew he brought an apprentice with him. It seems like the magazine is out of the question."
Today, it was said that Liang Lu was the photographer, but when Liang Lu came, he also brought a photographer with him. Most of the photos were taken by the person Liang Lu brought, including Ye Qing's photos, which were not taken by Liang Lu.
That's why Ye Qing was able to overhear Liang Lu and Xi Quan's gossip.
Ye Qing didn't care who took the photos, as long as there was money involved. She and Xu Xiaoyue had different goals. She understood Xu Xiaoyue's feelings, but Ye Qing didn't know how to comfort her.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyue only complained once. She and Ye Qing went to remove their makeup together. After removing their makeup, Ye Qing was thinking about how to tell Xu Xiaoyue that she would not go back to the dormitory first.
Upon hearing Xi Quan mention Xu Ying's current location, Ye Qing felt compelled to go and see for herself, to teach Xu Ying the lesson of causing trouble for her.
Otherwise, what if Xu Ying doesn't know what's going on with her now, and she gets the chance to cause trouble for her again in the future?
Before Ye Qing could say much to Xu Xiaoyue, Xu Xiaoyue spoke up first: "Ye Qing, you should go back first. I have some things to do, so I won't go back to school with you."
"OK."
Although it was a bit of a surprise, Ye Qing didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own things to do, and Ye Qing happened to have his own things to do as well.
After removing her makeup and changing back into her own clothes, Xu Xiaoyue said goodbye to Ye Qing and left first.
Although Ye Qing had been studying in Nancheng for some time, she still didn't know much about many places in Nancheng. She walked to the platform and searched for a long time but couldn't find out how to take the bus to the place Xi Quan had mentioned.
Seeing a newsstand nearby, Ye Qing went over to ask for directions. Unexpectedly, the person in charge peeked out from the newsstand, glanced at Ye Qing, and then pointed to the map next to him: "The latest tourist map of Nancheng."
After glancing at the map, Ye Qing didn't really want to buy anything; she was just asking for directions. However, the place was a bit remote and there weren't many people around. Ye Qing had to ask a few people before she found the bus stop, and they couldn't give her any specific directions to the place Xi Quan had mentioned.
Standing there looking around, unable to find anyone to ask for directions, Ye Qing had no choice but to buy a map.
Before Ye Qing had gone far after making her purchase, she heard the shopkeeper say, "What were you doing in that place? Why didn't you say anything? It's getting dark, aren't you scared going there alone as a girl?"
Although the words sounded well-intentioned, Ye Qing couldn't express gratitude since the map had been paid for, so he simply smiled politely at the other person.
After staring at the map for a long time, Ye Qing still didn't quite understand it, but he did know how to take the bus. When the bus arrived, Ye Qing looked at the few people on the bus and thought about what the newsstand owner had said earlier, and Ye Qing felt uneasy.
After a few stops, when only Ye Qing and the driver were left on the bus, Ye Qing's unease reached its peak.
However, considering Xu Ying's current fate, Ye Qing felt there was nothing to be afraid of.
The ride was alright, but after getting off at her destination, Ye Qing became even more frightened. She had to walk quite a distance to get there, and the bus didn't go there. Taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Ye Qing continued walking.
Upon suddenly hearing the sound of a car, Ye Qing instinctively moved to the side.
But to everyone's surprise, the car slowed down.
Ye Qing paused for a moment, glanced at the road. Although the road conditions weren't great, she was already so close to the side that the car should be able to pass. Despite her doubts, Ye Qing thought that since she was alone, it was best not to cause trouble, so she moved even further to the side.
However, the driver didn't seem to appreciate it and continued to follow Ye Qing, driving a sedan at a speed even slower than a horse-drawn carriage.
The car's unusual speed made Ye Qing afraid to look back, and she subconsciously walked even faster. But as she sped up, the car seemed to increase its speed as well.
Thinking of a slightly scary story he had read at a storytelling event the night before, Ye Qing was so frightened that he ran away.
As Ye Qing ran faster and faster, her heart, which had been in her throat, calmed down a little because the place where Xi Quan had said Xu Ying was now was right in front of her, and the car that had been following her didn't seem to be following her anymore.
But whether it was still there or not, Ye Qing didn't dare to look back. She relied entirely on her senses, so she slowed down, thinking she could catch her breath since she had been running a bit too fast. But as she slowed down, the car that had been following her suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of her...
