"ah!"
Ye Qing was so frightened that she raised her arms, covered her head, and screamed loudly.
"Alright, stop yelling. I thought you were so brave to come to such a remote place alone. Who knew you were so timid?"
Amidst her own screams, Ye Qing heard that familiar teasing voice, and her screams came to an abrupt halt. She slowly lowered the arm that was covering her head, and turned her body to the side, still looking warily at the person sitting in the car who had rolled down the window and was talking to her.
Once she confirmed that the person speaking was someone she knew, and that it was Xi Quan, Ye Qing was completely relieved. She composed herself slightly, stared at Xi Quan for a while, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she asked him incredulously, "You've been following me the whole time?!"
Xi Quan didn't answer Ye Qing's question directly, but said, "You're so eager to know where your cousin is. Now that you know, you definitely want to come and see her. It's not hard to guess what you're thinking."
At first glance, this statement seemed to not answer Ye Qing's question at all, but in fact it revealed a lot of things that Ye Qing didn't know.
Just as Ye Qing was thinking about what Xi Quan was going to say, Xi Quan honked the horn: "Get in the car."
Ignoring Xi Quan, Ye Qing angrily kicked the tire of Xi Quan's car: "Bastard, so when you told Liang Lu where Xu Ying was, it was on purpose?"
"Didn't you want to know?"
Seeing that Xi Quan answered his question with a rhetorical question, Ye Qing was furious. He thought he was very smart, but he didn't expect to be tricked.
It seemed as if he had accidentally found out where Xu Ying was, but in reality, it was Xi Quan who had given it to him!
hehe!
Ye Qing sneered and glanced at the gate in the distance. Xu Ying was inside. To be honest, if he hadn't heard Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing would never have thought of coming here.
Thinking back to when he overheard Liang Lu and Xi Quan talking, Liang Lu sighed, "I've actually failed." Ye Qing felt the same way now. He thought he was very clever, but in fact, his cleverness backfired.
She chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Now I understand how Liang Lu feels."
With his arm resting on the half-rolled-down car window and his fingers tapping the glass absentmindedly, Xi Quan appeared relaxed and at ease. Even though the courtyard not far from them was a place that might make one feel suffocated, it didn't seem to affect Xi Quan's good mood at all.
However, upon hearing Ye Qing say that she could understand Liang Lu's feelings, Xi Quan's hand, which was knocking on the car window, stopped instantly. He then immediately opened the car door, got out, walked up to Ye Qing, stared at her, and said with a very disdainful tone, "You? You understand Liang Lu's feelings? Understand what feelings he has?"
Before Xi Quan got out of the car and rushed to Ye Qing's side, Ye Qing had already become wary again. Hearing Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing glanced at him, puzzled. Just as she was about to leave, Xi Quan grabbed her arm: "Explain yourself. Do you understand Liang Lu's feelings?"
Ye Qing shook off Xi Quan and remained silent.
As it was getting dark, she needed to hurry and see Xu Ying, otherwise this place was too remote and she was a little scared to be alone.
But after walking a few steps, Ye Qing realized that Xi Quan was following her, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you following me?"
"Is there a rule that says I can't come?" Xi Quan asked.
Helpless, Ye Qing decided not to say anything more to Xi Quan. She glanced at him and walked quickly forward.
When they arrived at the courtyard gate, the old man standing there stared at Ye Qing for a long time through his reading glasses, as if to say, "What are you doing here so late?"
When Ye Qing started to feel uneasy under the old man's gaze, the old man waved him in.
Once inside the courtyard, you could hear sounds from within not far—screams, hysteria, or loud crying…
Thinking of the sign hanging at the entrance of the hospital that read "Nancheng Anding Hospital," Ye Qing swallowed hard, stood still for a moment to adjust to the environment, and then continued walking inside.
Upon arriving at the inpatient building, Ye Qing registered again who she was looking for, and then a nurse led Ye Qing to Xu Ying's ward.
Hearing the door open, Xu Ying quickly ran to the door: "I'm not sick."
The nurse looked at Ye Qing with pity and asked, "Are you sure you want someone else?"
Ye Qing glanced at Xu Ying, who had been glaring at him ever since she saw him, and said, "I'm not sure. How can I make her less aggressive?"
Before the nurse could do anything, Xu Ying tried to run away, but was quickly caught by the nurse.
The nurse, expressionless, dragged Xu Ying to the hospital bed, then took out a rope from somewhere and tied Xu Ying to the bed.
Ye Qing stared in disbelief at everything before her.
After doing all this, the nurse turned to Ye Qing expressionlessly and said, "Just lock the door from the outside when you leave. I've put the lock on the outside door."
Ye Qing nodded mechanically.
Are you satisfied now?
Hearing Xu Ying's gritted teeth, Ye Qing snapped out of her daze, looked at Xu Ying who was tied to the hospital bed by the nurse, and said calmly, "I'm very satisfied, so that's why I came to see you today. I wanted to ask you, do you still dare to mess with me in the future?"
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xu Ying was so angry that she wanted to tear Ye Qing apart, but she was tied up and unable to move, which made Xu Ying even angrier, and she started cursing at Ye Qing.
Interrupting Xu Ying's cursing, Ye Qing calmly said, "I advise you to save your energy. The way you are now, you look like you have a mental illness. It seems you really want to stay here permanently."
These words left Xu Ying feeling very uncomfortable.
If I continue to berate Ye Qing, it seems like I'm confirming that she's mentally ill; but if I don't, I can't swallow my anger.
In the end, all the words boiled down to one question: "What are you doing here?"
Faced with Xu Ying's questioning, Ye Qing laughed: "I didn't realize I came here to laugh at you."
"you……"
Ye Qing took a few steps forward, looking down at Xu Ying who was trying to break free of the ropes: "What did I do? I've been warning you not to cause me any more trouble, but you wouldn't listen. Let me tell you the truth: the Ye Qing who was forced to marry a fool by you is long dead. The current Ye Qing will not be bullied by you anymore, but you never took what I said seriously, thinking I was just bluffing you. Do you understand now?"
Xu Ying glared at Ye Qing with resentment. If looks could kill, Ye Qing would probably be dead tens of thousands of times over by now.
Ye Qing coldly shifted her gaze, rolled up her sleeve, and saw a scar the size of a one-yuan coin on her wrist, slightly above the elbow. She asked Xu Ying, "Do you still recognize this? You haven't forgotten what happened, have you?"
Xu Ying glanced at the scars on Ye Qing's arm, remained silent, and seemed rather dismissive.
Ye Qing chuckled lightly: "This is a burn... no, it's a scald. You burned my arm with a piece of firewood that was still glowing."
Xu Ying recognized the match, but didn't take it seriously. However, when she saw Ye Qing pull a match out of her pocket, Xu Ying became anxious: "What are you trying to do?"
