Xi Quan was somewhat surprised the moment Ye Qing opened his mouth to tell him what had happened.
However, in Xi Quan's mind, Ye Qing did not know that Chu Xun might like Ye Qing, so Xi Quan's surprise was only momentary. He quickly composed himself and listened calmly to Ye Qing finish speaking.
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he asked for Xi Quan's opinion, and Xi Quan answered decisively: "Impossible."
"Huh?" Ye Qing uttered a particle.
Xi Quan thought that perhaps his words were unclear, so he repeated what he meant: "What I mean is that Huang Fei and Chu Xun are impossible."
Because Ye Qing had guessed Chu Xun's thoughts, she understood the implied meaning behind Xi Quan's explanation. Since she was talking to Xi Quan, Ye Qing wanted to hear his opinion. So, after understanding what Xi Quan meant, Ye Qing asked, "Right now, it's possible that Huang Fei has feelings for Chu Xun, but the two haven't even spent time together. How can you be so sure that there's no possibility between them?"
After asking the question, Ye Qing pretended to be busy, sat in front of the dressing table, and patted something on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Xi Quan.
Since Xi Quan didn't realize that Ye Qing had already guessed something, he went along with Ye Qing's words and casually said, "Feelings are two-way. Chu Xun doesn't like Huang Fei, and if Huang Fei had nothing to do with you, Chu Xun might not mind spending time with Huang Fei. But I don't think Chu Xun would be so inconsiderate about your relationship with Huang Fei."
"Does my relationship with Huang Fei have anything to do with whether Chu Xun will get along with Huang Fei?" Ye Qing asked casually.
Without thinking twice, Xi Quan blurted out, "How could there be no contact? Chu Xun likes..."
He realized something halfway through his sentence and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.
Xi Quan believed he had taken his words back quickly, and Ye Qing probably didn't understand what he meant. However, even though he thought Ye Qing probably didn't know, he still glanced at Ye Qing cautiously.
But he found Ye Qing looking at him with a half-smile.
Ye Qing's expression was unexpected by Xi Quan. He wondered what Ye Qing's expression meant, because there was so much hidden in Ye Qing's smile. Xi Quan subconsciously felt a little guilty.
"you……"
Seeing Xi Quan's hesitant expression, Ye Qing knew that her previous guess was true, otherwise Xi Quan wouldn't be acting like this. So Ye Qing asked, "From what you're saying, you know who Chu Xun likes?"
Although Ye Qing already knew about it, she hadn't brought it up before. This was mainly because Ye Qing felt that if she had to meet and interact with Chu Xun, she would just need to be careful and know her limits. She didn't need to hesitate about who she liked.
Not only women need security, but men do too. As long as she clearly lets Xi Quan know her attitude, Xi Quan shouldn't get jealous or anything like that.
This was Ye Qing's idea beforehand, so she hadn't told Xi Quan anything about Chu Xun.
The reason Ye Qing is bringing this up with Xi Quan again is because Huang Fei might like Chu Xun, and Huang Fei and Ye Qing are twins.
Ye Qing didn't want these issues, which shouldn't even be problems, to create a rift between herself and Huang Fei.
It seems like this is Huang Fei's and his own business, but first and foremost, Xi Quan must know his stance.
Xi Quan was unaware of Ye Qing's inner thoughts. Already feeling a little guilty, he instinctively became even more nervous upon hearing Ye Qing's words.
After calming down, Xi Quan vaguely sensed something from Ye Qing's expression. He stared at Ye Qing for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Do you know who Chu Xun likes?"
Ye Qing didn't answer immediately, but her expression told Xi Quan that Ye Qing actually knew.
Upon realizing that Ye Qing knew about this, Xi Quan suddenly felt a nameless anger rise in his heart and shook off Ye Qing's hand that was holding him.
Seeing that Xi Quan was angry, Ye Qing grabbed Xi Quan's hand again, hoping that he would listen to her.
But Xi Quan shook off Ye Qing's hand again.
He was indeed angry, but in Ye Qing's eyes, Xi Quan's behavior was more like throwing a tantrum. Although Ye Qing was smiling, she insisted on holding Xi Quan's hand.
Xi Quan struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so Ye Qing held him.
Seeing that Xi Quan was no longer resistant to talking to her, Ye Qing's smile faded, and she looked at Xi Quan seriously: "You saw through Chu Xun's feelings a long time ago, but you didn't tell me..."
Upon hearing this, Xi Quan, who had gradually calmed down and resolved to listen to Ye Qing, was angered again and tried to shake off Ye Qing's hand once more.
Although it would have been easy for Xi Quan to shake off Ye Qing's hand if he had really decided to ignore her, he didn't. In any case, Ye Qing held his hand tightly the whole time, giving the impression that he was all bark and no bite.
Perhaps Xi Quan himself realized that his anger was all bark and no bite, so in order to make himself seem more imposing, he stubbornly asked Ye Qing, "So you mean it was my fault for not telling you that Chu Xun might like you?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Ye Qing immediately denied Xi Quan's words. In fact, Ye Qing really didn't mean it that way: "You didn't say it before, and I guessed why you were angry but didn't say it either. You thought that it was enough for us to understand each other's feelings. But now Huang Fei might like Chu Xun, and my relationship with Huang Fei... I'm afraid that someone will try to sow discord between us. In the end, maybe Huang Fei and I won't have any grudges, but someone will gossip about us in front of you, causing a rift between us. That's what I'm most afraid of."
Although Ye Qing and Huang Fei are twin sisters, Xi Quan doesn't really care about Huang Fei. This is because Xi Quan isn't the type of person who cares too much about strangers. Plus, Huang Fei is a woman, so to avoid suspicion, Xi Quan naturally wouldn't show much concern. So when Ye Qing mentioned Huang Fei, Xi Quan simply said "I heard it" and "I know." If it weren't for his connection with Chu Xun, Xi Quan wouldn't have said anything at all.
Realizing he had made a mistake, Xi Quan became nervous and stopped thinking about what Ye Qing meant by saying those things.
Now, after hearing Ye Qing's explanation, Xi Quan finally understood why Ye Qing had been telling him all this.
So Xi Quan put aside his discomfort, pulled Ye Qing into his arms, and put his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, we've been through so much together, how could someone else's words possibly cause us to fall apart?"
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I won't listen to others' attempts to sow discord, but you might be a bit of a jerk. You might be narrow-minded and not believe what others say, but it could make people watch your face..."
Before Ye Qing could finish his teasing remark, Xi Quan silenced him with a kiss.
