Xi Quan glanced at Liang Lu with a cold smile: "You can explain it."
Xi Quan said this because he noticed Liang Lu's hesitation, or rather, he did it on purpose to see what Liang Lu would say.
“A mistake is a mistake, there’s no point in explaining it,” Liang Lu said calmly.
To be honest, since Xi Quan's grandmother's incident, Liang Lu himself has argued with his mother several times. He himself can't accept his mother's actions, let alone Xi Quan.
After all, the direct consequence of this incident was the death of Xi Quan's grandmother.
Therefore, Liang Lu fully understood Xi Quan's anger.
Xi Quan was indeed angry, but the two had been friends for so long, and Liang Lu's attitude was a plus, so after a long silence, Xi Quan frowned and asked, "So what exactly is going on between you and Ye Shuang?"
After asking the question, Xi Quan realized that he had been a bit too gossipy. However, although he was gossipy, he still wanted to know, not because he wanted to pry into Liang Lu's love life. So, Xi Quan explained a little:
"If you're going to be with Ye Shuang, then you two should just focus on your relationship and not get involved in anything else. You know Ye Qing and Ye Shuang have been arguing for years. Although their relationship seems to have improved a little recently, that's just on the surface. If there are any conflicts in the future... I have to remind you, I will definitely stand up for my wife..."
There was another sentence at the end, which was the hope that "our current crumbling brotherhood will not be ruined by your feelings."
But in the end, Xi Quan swallowed his words; it was a bit pretentious for a man to say such a thing.
Moreover, he didn't want Liang Lu to realize that he still wanted to acknowledge him as a brother.
However, Liang Lu himself felt a little embarrassed because of Xi Quan's words, so he didn't notice Xi Quan's expression. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Ye Shuang and I are nothing."
"Heh." Xi Quan sneered and remained silent, because he no longer believed Liang Lu's words.
I never imagined that Liang Lu and Xi Yue would have any connection, but look how things have turned out now.
So Xi Quan remained noncommittal to Liang Lu's words. He glanced at Liang Lu, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tapped it against his hand, and then offered it to Liang Lu.
Liang Lu pulled out a cigarette from among the discarded cigarettes, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette with his hand over his hand, and then gave the lighter to Xi Quan.
After they both lit their cigarettes, they fell silent.
They sat silently on the curb smoking, their faces bearing injuries that made them look somewhat disheveled.
After finishing his cigarette, Liang Lu stood up and dusted himself off. "Although I know that saying sorry won't help, I still... I'm sorry..."
After saying that, Liang Lu glanced back at Xi Quan, who was sitting on the curb smoking, and left.
Not only did Xi Quan not want to lose Liang Lu as a friend, but Liang Lu also didn't want to lose Xi Quan as a brother.
Ye Qing, who had been standing in the corner watching, slowly walked out after Liang Lu left.
Xu Xiaoyue tactfully said, "I'll go check on Xi Yue."
Ye Qing nodded.
Ye Qing slowly walked to Xi Quan's side. Before she could speak, Xi Quan saw the figure on the ground, turned his head and glanced at Ye Qing. Then, Xi Quan quickly put the car away on the ground, stood up and helped Ye Qing up. "Why did you come here?"
Ye Qing raised her hand to touch Xi Quan's lips, but seeing the bruises, she was afraid he would be in pain, so she lowered her hand.
Having discerned Ye Qing's intention, Xi Quan grasped Ye Qing's hand and said calmly, "It's alright, it doesn't hurt."
Afterwards, Xi Quan looked at Ye Qing and remained silent, unsure of how to start a conversation. This was because Xi Quan had argued with Ye Qing after returning home from handling his grandmother's funeral.
However, Xi Quan acted very aggressively and was somewhat unreasonable.
Moreover, Xi Quan clearly saw something inexplicable in Ye Qing's eyes at that time, and Ye Qing felt that he was a bit inexplicable.
However, at that time, Xi Quan did indeed use the occasion to vent his inner grief that he didn't know how to express.
Although Xi Quan lost his temper at that time, he did not intend to take his anger out on Ye Qing because of his grandmother's matter. However, all of this was Xi Quan's so-called rationality.
In the moment Xi Quan lost his temper, he had already taken his anger out on Ye Qing to some extent because of his grandmother's death. He realized this, but because he still had some lingering resentment, the two of them had never had a proper conversation.
Now that he knows the truth, Xi Quan feels that there's no time like the present, and it's a good opportunity to speak out now.
Originally, Xi Quan had planned to sit with Ye Qing on the edge of the flower bed by the roadside, but the weather was gloomy and cold, and he was afraid that Ye Qing would catch a cold. So Xi Quan helped Ye Qing walk back and found a place to sit in the empty photography studio. He let Ye Qing sit down and pulled up a prop chair from the side to sit down as well.
"sorry."
Ye Qing was also thinking of taking this opportunity to have a good talk with Xi Quan. However, she was also thinking about how to start the conversation, but before she could speak, she heard Xi Quan apologize, and she was slightly taken aback.
Seeing Ye Qing's somewhat bewildered expression, Xi Quan explained, "It's because I lost my temper with you earlier."
At first, Ye Qing didn't quite understand what Xi Quan meant, but then she remembered. After hearing what Xi Quan said, Ye Qing was silent for a moment and then said, "Actually, if you are just upset because of your grandmother's death, I can understand. But you got angry because I was thinking of transferring the children to another school, and you blamed me for not discussing it with you. So I don't accept your apology now."
After speaking, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan calmly, because Ye Qing was angry because of this matter, not because of her grandmother.
Xi Quan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words back.
Ye Qing said, "Back then, you were handling Grandma's funeral arrangements. How could I discuss it with you? At that time, everyone thought that Grandma passed away because Aunt Zhang was too talkative. It's only natural that you had feelings. How could I have the nerve to talk to you about it? I didn't know if you were still angry with me. Besides, although I had those thoughts and even chose a school, I didn't actually take any action."
Xi Quan knew he was wrong to lose his temper back then, and now that Ye Qing had said that, he felt even more embarrassed.
His embarrassment and regret were so obvious that Ye Qing could see it, but even so, Ye Qing still deliberately asked, "So now you realize your own problem?"
Although Xi Quan was the one who apologized first, he was the one who held the initiative no matter what. Now that Ye Qing had suddenly taken the initiative, Xi Quan suddenly smiled.
Ye Qing asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
