Ye Qing stared in astonishment at Xi Quan's smug expression, then glanced at Liang Lu, who was shivering from the cold.
"Liang Lu is dressed a bit too thinly." Probably because he was cold, Ye Qing was also a little confused at the moment and didn't understand Xi Quan's meaning, so he told the truth about what he saw.
Hearing Ye Qing say that, Liang Lu gave Xi Quan a provocative look, reached out to him, and gestured for Xi Quan to give him his coat.
Xi Quan, who had been smug, changed his expression upon hearing Ye Qing's words. Liang Lu's provocation made Xi Quan's face even uglier: "Haven't you heard the story of the leather coat from your grandmother's house?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing was stunned, a little confused by Xi Quan's train of thought.
Seeing Ye Qing's bewildered expression, Xi Quan's Adam's apple bobbed. He turned around, bent over, and made a stance similar to a horse stance. He then turned to Ye Qing and said, "Come up."
"What are you doing?" Ye Qing subconsciously shrank back, watching Xi Quan's actions.
Not noticing Ye Qing's actions, Xi Quan turned back to look at Ye Qing again and said, "I'll carry you down the mountain, but your legs can't walk anymore, can they?"
"Wait until the snow lightens up, then let it fall slowly..."
"I'm freezing to death waiting." Xi Quan said without waiting for a reply, but Ye Qing seemed embarrassed and unmoved. Xi Quan sighed, took two steps back, pulled Ye Qing up and made her lie on his back. He then supported Ye Qing with his hands behind her back and turned to go down the mountain without giving her time to react.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xi Quan noticed Liang Lu still standing there shivering. He said, "You won't be cold if you walk down the mountain. Let's go."
Upon hearing Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing belatedly realized what Xi Quan meant by "grandmother's leather coat."
It's not that Xi Quan is wrong to use a children's story like this, but Xi Quan... Ye Qing finally realized, why is he jealous again?!
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Qing looked down at Xi Quan's coat and said, "This coat is for sale. Now that you've been wearing it like this in the snow, and carrying me on your back, it's all wrinkled and wet. It's not worth selling now."
"Then sell it to me." As Xi Quan said this, he was thinking about how he felt when he saw the clothes in Ye Qing's shop a couple of days ago.
Ye Qing wasn't there at the time; only Xi Yue and Xu Xiaoyue were present. Xi Quan casually asked, "Aren't you guys selling women's clothing? Why do you also have men's clothing?"
“There aren’t many men’s clothes; they were all designed by Ye Qing.” Xi Quan understood immediately after hearing this, but Xi Yue added, “Xi Quan, I think you should be happy to see the men’s clothes. After all, Ye Qing doesn’t have many male friends. When she designs men’s clothes, you are probably the model in her mind. Look, these clothes are practically tailor-made for you.”
Upon hearing Xi Yue's words, Xu Xiaoyue, regardless of whether they were true or not, joined in the teasing and chiming in.
Xi Yue and Xu Xiaoyue had the idea of bringing Xi Quan and Ye Qing to a closer point, and their words might not be unrelated to Ye Qing's own thoughts.
Regardless of what the two women meant, Xi Quan took it to heart and felt as if it were his own clothes.
Just as he was thinking about whether to try on the men's clothing, Ye Qing returned. Fearing that Ye Qing would reject him, Xi Quan didn't try it on.
However, Xi Quan kept Xi Yue and Xu Xiaoyue's words in mind.
So when Xi Quan saw Liang Lu wearing this coat, he felt a surge of jealousy.
He thought to himself that these clothes were tailor-made for him, and he hadn't even tried them on yet, but Liang Lu had already put them on. Even though Liang Lu was his brother, Xi Quan couldn't stand it.
Ye Qing's words gave Xi Quan an opportunity. He directly expressed his true feelings, bought the clothes, and made them his own.
Ye Qing might not understand the complexities in Xi Quan's mind, but she knew he was jealous. So when Xi Quan mentioned that he was going to buy clothes, Ye Qing deliberately teased him, "You're going to buy them?"
Xi Quan originally thought this was a win-win situation, the perfect solution. But Ye Qing seemed to have other intentions. Xi Quan was stunned. He had to be careful going down the mountain, and now it was snowing heavily. Xi Quan was already walking slowly while carrying Ye Qing on his back. When he heard Ye Qing's words, he stopped completely, twisted his neck and asked Ye Qing, "What's wrong? Is it not okay? I'll buy it. Whatever the original price, I won't haggle."
At first, Ye Qing was a little embarrassed when Xi Quan carried her, and her whole body was stiff. Now she gradually relaxed. At this moment, she leaned on Xi Quan's shoulder. Because she was not worried that Xi Quan would see her expression, Ye Qing was extremely relaxed, and her facial expressions were very rich. Hearing Xi Quan's anxious voice, Ye Qing's mouth almost stretched to her ears. She said, "I thought I should be the one to take you."
"Uh..." Ye Qing's words stunned Xi Quan. Perhaps it was too unexpected to be surprised. Xi Quan was too happy because in his relationship with Ye Qing, after all the ups and downs and arguments, he had taken the initiative more often.
Now that Ye Qing has suddenly become so proactive, showing what it means to be a "girlfriend," Xi Quan is afraid it's all a dream. He stammered for a moment and said, "Don't you want to make money? I still have enough money to buy a piece of clothing."
These words sounded a bit contemptuous at first glance, but Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan meant no harm. "I may be short of money, but I'm not stingy."
Actually, after Xi Quan finished speaking, he realized that it was a bit inappropriate and was afraid that Ye Qing would be unhappy again. But Ye Qing was not unhappy and even explained. Xi Quan quickly followed Ye Qing's words and said, "Then it's settled. I'll give you the clothes. When you get back, you can iron them for me and make them neat."
“I was originally thinking of designing another one for you, but since you like this one so much, let’s go with this one. When we get back, I’ll iron it for you and make it neat, just like you said.” Ye Qing raised an eyebrow and said, then leaned on Xi Quan’s shoulder and stared intently at his profile, not missing a single subtle change in his expression.
As expected, Xi Quan's smile froze, and his lips tightened into a line, as if he regretted speaking too quickly. Ye Qing smugly shifted her gaze elsewhere.
It felt incredibly good to make Xi Quan suffer.
Looking away, Ye Qing noticed Liang Lu following them. Belatedly realizing that she had ignored Liang Lu, which was quite impolite, Ye Qing greeted Liang Lu: "Won't you feel cold after walking around for a while?"
Liang Lu smiled and said, "It's not cold anymore."
Hearing their conversation, Xi Quan suddenly turned to look at Liang Lu: "Why are you still here?"
"If I'm not here, am I supposed to fly away?" Liang Lu said with a laugh. He had been keeping a distance from Xi Quan and the others, but after hearing what Xi Quan said, he simply walked alongside Xi Quan. "Although this place isn't exactly a desolate wilderness, there aren't many people around right now. If we're together, we can help each other out a little. For example, if you can't make it, I'll carry Ye Qing for you."
