Huang Fei pointed to a window on the second floor.
Looking in the direction Huang Fei was pointing, Ye Qing felt a little anxious: the second floor!
How can we let Xu Xiaoyue know that Huang Fei and I are having an affair?
Call her directly? Obviously not. Although we were far away, we could see that there were lights on on the first floor. Although the window with the lights on wasn't where Ye Qing and the others were, calling out to her was the worst possible option.
Because they were so close to the house, Huang Fei and the others didn't dare to speak loudly. They silently looked at Xu Xiaoyue's window and Huang Fei said, "Why don't we pick up a pebble and throw it at Xu Xiaoyue's room?"
Ye Qing glanced at it and whispered to Huang Fei, "What if we miss and alert the others in the house?"
This was indeed a problem. Huang Fei remained silent, observing his surroundings without answering Ye Qing's question.
Aunt Zhang has always been a timid person; otherwise, she wouldn't have given up on Ye Qing and Huang Fei at the first sign of trouble.
The reason I'm following Ye Qing now is because of a mother's instinct—a fear that something might happen to my child.
However, now that she had come with Ye Qing and looked at the surrounding environment, she felt it was too dangerous. So, when Ye Qing and Huang Fei were wondering what to do, she tugged at Ye Qing and Huang Fei with one hand each: "Why don't we leave? Xu Xiaoyue will be fine. Her mother-in-law won't let anything happen to her."
Huang Fei didn't want Ye Qing to take any risks, but since they were already here, leaving like this wasn't in Huang Fei's nature.
Knowing it would be difficult, and since I was already here, I figured I had to do something. After doing it, I realized my abilities were limited and there was nothing I could do. Although I felt a little apologetic for not being able to help Xu Xiaoyue much, I didn't have any major regrets.
So, with this mindset, Huang Fei was naturally unhappy to hear what Zhang Sao said. She glanced at Zhang Sao with slight impatience and said, "You can go now."
"But..." Aunt Zhang was still a little worried, so she looked at Ye Qing. She felt that if Ye Qing left at this time, Huang Fei would probably leave as well, so she placed her hopes on Ye Qing, hoping that Ye Qing could say something.
The friendship between Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue is truly unbreakable, so how could Ye Qing leave at this time?
She and Huang Fei shared similar thoughts: if they had no idea where Xu Xiaoyue was and she hadn't come, then they wouldn't think about it.
Therefore, Ye Qing disliked Zhang Sao's "backing down at the last minute" attitude and found it rather noisy.
Upon receiving a look from Aunt Zhang, Ye Qing spoke without hesitation: "If even your own mother can abandon her own child, to always trust your mother-in-law is too naive to me."
Although Aunt Zhang hoped Ye Qing would say something, she also knew that Ye Qing was most likely unwilling to leave, and her expectant gaze at Ye Qing seemed more like an instinct.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Qing would say such a thing.
Her face instantly stiffened and turned pale, and she retorted to Ye Qing's words from inside the room.
From Ye Qing's perspective, what she said made sense. After all, her own parents didn't want her, and now they were telling her to trust her mother-in-law.
Of course, if Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law were a kind person, Ye Qing might try to believe her, but Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law is not a kind person.
Humans are emotional beings, and emotions are complex.
Ye Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, but the moment the words left her mouth, she realized they were too sharp.
But words spoken cannot be taken back.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ye Qing noticed that Aunt Zhang stiffened because of her words. Ye Qing seemed even more remorseful. Although she still resented Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang had always had her share of minor flaws, she was still her biological mother after all, and the blood ties could not be severed. In addition, they had lived together for quite some time, so they had inevitably developed some feelings for each other.
Even though she was filled with regret, Ye Qing wasn't very good at comforting people, and after hesitating several times, she ultimately didn't say anything to comfort them.
Huang Fei heard Ye Qing's words and noticed Zhang Sao's expression, but he didn't say anything to ease the already tense and now very uncomfortable atmosphere.
Whether it's due to his upbringing or because he and Ye Qing are twins, Huang Fei, like Ye Qing, has a seemingly cold-blooded attitude towards Zhang Sao.
So he only glanced at Aunt Zhang before shifting his gaze away from her.
The already tense atmosphere became even more suffocating because of Ye Qing. In this place that looked a bit like a haunted house, everyone held their breath because of their own emotions, and the silence made people feel a bit like they were in a mass grave.
Since the atmosphere was because of Ye Qing, Ye Qing thought she would break it herself. She observed for a moment and said, "I'll stand a little further away and try to knock on the window of Xu Xiaoyue's room on the second floor. Although it may startle others, judging from the lights on, all the windows on her side except for her room are dark, which means no one lives there, so it should be fine."
As he spoke, Ye Qing bent down and struggled to pick up a stone from the ground.
Just as she was getting ready to throw the stones, Huang Fei grabbed her hand: "Let me do it."
Ye Qing turned his head and looked at her.
Huang Fei explained, "My film is a period drama, and the character I play knows a little bit of martial arts. For example, in scenes like throwing darts, although I wasn't required to throw them with perfect accuracy during filming, I still practiced a bit."
The implication was that it was better than what Ye Qing, a pregnant woman, had thrown.
Ye Qing didn't try to be stubborn after hearing Huang Fei's words. She moved to the side and handed the stone in her hand to Huang Fei.
She watched as Huang Fei tentatively gestured at an angle before smashing the glass towards Xu Xiaoyue's window.
Although only Xu Xiaoyue's room light was on, Ye Qing was still afraid that smashing the window would make too much noise and alert the enemy, so the pebbles she picked up were very small. In addition, they were still some distance away from the house, so they were not sure whether they had hit it or not.
So after Huang Fei threw the first stone, Ye Qing picked up a few more stones and handed them to Huang Fei, asking him to try again.
Just as Huang Fei was about to try again, there seemed to be some noise coming from the room. Even from some distance, Ye Qing and the others heard it, which startled them so much that they quickly hid.
There was a small clearing in the middle of the tall bushes, so they could just squat down. However, Ye Qing was heavily pregnant, and squatting, a simple action for most people, became very difficult. Huang Fei helped her sit on the ground, and at this point, there was no point in being picky.
Because Ye Qing's movements were difficult, the commotion became a little louder. Just as Ye Qing sat down on the ground, someone suddenly shone a flashlight at them.
