Ye Qing ignored their argument and hurriedly tried to push the door open, but the dormitory door opened from the inside and Liu Wei came out.
Just as Ye Qing was about to greet Liu Wei, she only received a glare from Liu Wei, who then snorted and slammed the door shut as she left.
Ye Qing glanced at Liu Wei, then quickly pushed open the door and went in, where he saw Xu Xiaoyue sitting at the table, wiping away tears.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qing handed Xu Xiaoyue the towel and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you two get into a fight?"
“You’re saying the dorm isn’t her place alone. If she wants to study, she should go to the library or the classroom. Because if she’s studying in the dorm, no one can make a sound,” Xu Xiaoyue couldn’t help but start nagging Ye Qing after hearing her words.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said, "You know Liu Wei's personality, you..."
Ye Qing didn't intend to stir up trouble, nor was she against Xu Xiaoyue's side; she just felt that joining Xu Xiaoyue in criticizing Liu Wei would only exacerbate the conflict.
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoyue interrupted Ye Qing: "So now I don't even have the right to cry, right? I also want to study hard, but if I study hard, who will earn money?"
Xu Xiaoyue left first after the photo shoot today. Ye Qing was also thinking about how to beat up Xu Ying when she was down, so she didn't ask Xu Xiaoyue any questions. Now that she heard Xu Xiaoyue say this, Ye Qing realized that Xu Xiaoyue must have something on her mind.
She washed Xu Xiaoyue's towel again in the water, then handed it to Xu Xiaoyue to wipe her tears: "Are you short of money? If you're having any difficulties, I..."
Before Ye Qing could finish speaking, seeing Xu Xiaoyue's tears flowing down her face again, he stopped asking and held her hand to offer her silent comfort.
Perhaps she had been bearing it all alone for too long, Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but express all the emotions that had been building up inside her.
Ye Qing then learned that Xu Xiaoyue had a younger brother who hadn't started elementary school yet and usually lived with her grandparents. She had come home today because her grandfather was sick. Although it wasn't a major problem, he needed surgery, which required money.
Although Xu Xiaoyue has an uncle, he doesn't plan to contribute a single penny when her grandfather has surgery. His reason is that her grandparents are supporting Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother.
But in reality, Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother is almost entirely supported by Xu Xiaoyue herself.
Xu Xiaoyue went home and had a fight. She couldn't cry in front of her grandparents, but she couldn't hold back when she got back to her dorm. Who knew that Liu Wei would pick a fight with her again? Xu Xiaoyue couldn't hold back and started arguing with Liu Wei.
Ye Qing usually saw Xu Xiaoyue as carefree and cheerful, but she never expected that Xu Xiaoyue's life wasn't easy. It's true that every family has its own troubles.
After Xu Xiaoyue finished speaking, Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, "What about your parents?"
"My mother died during childbirth while giving birth to my brother... My father... died in a car accident after drinking too much..."
Before Xu Xiaoyue could finish speaking, Ye Qing grabbed her hand and stopped her from saying anything more.
Xu Xiaoyue felt she was about to vomit if she didn't say it out loud: "The family planning policy doesn't allow for second children, but my mom accidentally got pregnant with my brother. She didn't plan to keep it, but all the relatives said that the baby looked like a boy. My dad is sexist and insisted on having the baby even if it meant paying a fine. And so..." Xu Xiaoyue wiped away her tears and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "And that's how it turned out."
Ye Qing didn't want to comment on other people's business, but seeing that Xu Xiaoyue, despite her terrible mood, still wouldn't abandon her grandfather, Ye Qing said, "Don't worry about the surgery money, I'll take care of it..."
Xu Xiaoyue interrupted Ye Qing: "I still have some. I'll just find more work lately. Calendar photography is very profitable, you know, one shoot is four hundred, so..."
Shooting calendars is profitable, but Xu Xiaoyue needs a lot of money right now. Although she can quickly earn 400 yuan at a time, it's too passive. After all, if no one asks her to shoot calendars, she won't have any money.
To turn passivity into a slightly more proactive position, one needs to be famous… Ye Qing suddenly thought of something.
She patted Xu Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Zita Fashion is going to hold a new season's fashion show, and they will definitely need a lot of models. Why don't you give it a try? If you can participate in their fashion show, you won't have to worry about making money in the future. There will be many people asking you to take photos."
Xu Xiaoyue sniffed, clearly intrigued by Ye Qing's words: "Posture Fashion?"
"Yeah, you don't know, do you? They're really famous."
"No, of course I know. I mean, how did you know they were going to have a fashion show?"
Ye Qing took out the invitation card from her bag, which was given to her by the attendee. "There are still two weeks left."
Xu Xiaoyue looked at the invitation card, then put it down: "The press conference is in half a month, they must have found their models, I..."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Ye Qing said, "Large-scale fashion shows like these usually have a registration system. Even if you can't walk the main show, even if you're a backup model, that's still an advantage. Other calendar models are about the same height as me, and they can't walk the runway because of their height. You have a height advantage. After you walk the runway, fashion brands will definitely want to hire you for calendar shoots. And some clothing brands also need models when they do advertising, right? These are all your advantages. Although calendar shoots can make money now, it's not a long-term solution."
Ye Qing did want to help Xu Xiaoyue, but Ye Qing also had his own selfish motives.
She is studying fashion design. Although she is only a freshman, there is a saying that "prevention is better than cure." She hopes to accumulate more experience. Such a large-scale fashion show is a good learning opportunity. She is happy to be able to go to the show, but she also wants to know how things are done behind the scenes.
Xu Xiaoyue went to apply for a modeling job, and it would be good for Ye Qing to go along and broaden her horizons.
Some things can't be learned from books.
Xu Xiaoyue was intrigued by Ye Qing's words and said, "But I don't quite understand how they find models."
That is a problem. Ye Qing wondered if she was being too hasty. Hesitantly, she looked at the invitation letter over and over again. Suddenly, Ye Qing had an idea: "Look here."
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at where Ye Qing was pointing and said, "This is the location of the fashion show."
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, once the models are selected, shouldn't they rehearse or something to familiarize themselves with the venue? Since the press conference is at the Nancheng Huamao Hotel, will they select the models there?"
Xu Xiaoyue replied to Ye Qing's words, "That's possible. I'll ask Brother Li. He usually introduces models and things like that."
Ye Qing urged Xu Xiaoyue to call Brother Li. Unexpectedly, Ye Qing guessed it by accident. Moreover, Brother Li said that Xu Xiaoyue was really well-informed, as Taizi Fashion was selecting models over there these past two days.
After receiving a definite answer, Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue went there the next day, only to unexpectedly run into someone they didn't want to see. What a small world!
