Ye Zhiwei also acted strangely in front of Ye Yingying, but since Ye Zhiwei was in close contact with Ye Yingying, any abnormalities could be explained. However, Qin Manshu's abnormality seemed a bit strange, and this abnormality was somewhat similar to some of Ye Zhiwei's reactions when she first met Ye Yingying and Jiang Jianian.
Ye Zhiwei also had some guesses and premonitions in her heart. She was not sure and did not dare to risk alerting the enemy. Instead, she sent someone to investigate what was going on with the mental hospital where Jiang Shichu was one of the shareholders.
Qin Manshu did all these things very discreetly, and nothing could be found out. Even the connections Ye Zhiwei made only said that Qin Manshu was just helping with some psychological counseling, and would also help monitor the recovery of some mental illness patients regularly, and even help determine whether some patients could be considered to have mental illnesses.
Ye Zhiwei had a rough idea of Qin Manshu's situation. She simply asked relevant personnel to investigate whether there was any group of patients under Qin Manshu's care who were most likely to be under Qin Manshu's care.
After realizing that Qin Manshu's unusual behavior was not simply a matter of being abnormal, she had someone carefully observe Qin Manshu's movements. She had already begun to suspect Qin Manshu, but whenever she had any contact with Qin Manshu, Ye Zhiwei would act as if she knew nothing and did not even try to find out anything. She was now increasingly suspicious that Qin Manshu might have discovered something first.
Although she remained polite to Qin Manshu later on because Jiang Shichu helped Ye Qingcheng, she was still wary and couldn't possibly tell Qin Manshu everything. Whenever a sensitive topic came up, Ye Zhiwei would simply make a joke to gloss over it. However, she had a sixth sense that made her realize what she should and shouldn't say when facing Qin Manshu, something Ji Shuli didn't.
Ye Zhiwei also pushed Ji Shuli to Qin Manshu. What could the two of them possibly have to talk about? She would probably be the subject of seven out of ten sentences in any conversation. After Ye Zhiwei realized that Ji Shuli might have said something to Qin Manshu, she started harassing Ji Shuli in various ways before the final exams at Yanda University.
The final exams were stressful, so Ye Zhiwei had to give up a short period of time. But after the final exams, Ye Zhiwei abandoned Jiang Jianian, whose medical school exams were not scheduled for another three days, and returned to S City to continue bombarding Ji Shuli with all sorts of things while he was resting.
Ji Shuli was both amused and exasperated. He looked helplessly at Ye Zhiwei and asked, "My little cousin, how could I possibly remember what Qin Manshu and I talked about back then? Why are you so interested in my relationship with her? We haven't been in contact for a long time. Little cousin, you don't know that she's about to get engaged, do you?"
Ye Zhiwei, of course, also knew about Qin Manshu and Yu Jingchen's affair.
She always felt inexplicably uneasy. Although Qin Manshu seemed to have nothing to do with her, there seemed to be some kind of entanglement that made her realize something was wrong.
Ye Zhiwei's emotions were somewhat complicated. She looked towards Ji Shuli in a daze, her mind full of thoughts.
Seeing Ye Zhiwei shake her head like that, Ji Shuli said, "You're so concerned about my love life. Didn't I tell you long ago that I don't like Qin Manshu's type?"
"Oh really? Then what type of girl is Qin Manshu?"
"What type? I can't give an objective evaluation, I can only describe the feeling I get from her. I can sense that she's always holding back something. Maybe it's because the Qin family has many rules and her upbringing is quite strict. As for me, your cousin, I'm lazy and easygoing, and I would feel very restrained around a girl like that. It's not suitable for me." Ji Shuli found it difficult to evaluate what type of girl Qin Manshu was, but one thing was certain: Qin Manshu always seemed to be suppressing her emotions, and every move she made had a somewhat deliberate feel to it.
Ye Zhiwei had lost interest in getting anything out of Ji Shuli, and felt that she couldn't possibly know anything. Even if Ji Shuli had contact with Qin Manshu, he didn't care about Qin Manshu at all, so how could he possibly notice anything unusual about Qin Manshu?
When it comes to being meticulous, the "green tea sister" is definitely the best.
Ye Zhiwei shook her head as she looked at Ji Shuli. It didn't make sense that her cousin, a straight man, could be so popular with Qin Manshu.
She asked listlessly, "So what type do you like?"
"Cousin, I'm being pressured so much by your grandfather that I'm going crazy. I don't have the energy to think about girls."
Ye Zhiwei stared at Ji Shuli, her tone suddenly becoming rapid, "Do you prefer the innocent or the glamorous?"
"Pure." For some reason, when Ye Zhiwei asked him this, he didn't refute her and answered her question without thinking.
Ye Zhiwei understood and continued to ask, "Do you prefer someone who is smart and thoughtful, or someone who is a bit silly and beautiful?"
"clever."
"Long, straight black hair or big, wavy, bad girl hair?"
"Long, straight black hair".
"Do you prefer someone younger or older than yourself?"
"Younger."
"Is Ye Yingying pretty?"
"Beautiful—" Ji Shuli belatedly realized, "You little brat, you're still playing tricks!"
Ye Zhiwei pointed at Ji Shuli and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, some people look like proper gentlemen, but who knows what they're really thinking? You used to think Yingying was just a little sister, but now you realize she's pretty."
"Well, what I mean is, objectively speaking, she is indeed beautiful, and I can't just lie through my teeth," Ji Shuli said, feeling a headache coming on.
Ye Zhiwei sneered, "And what about me? Am I pretty? Objectively speaking, I'm a great beauty, but I haven't seen you—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Shuli looked away, "No, no, I can't look, my eyes hurt. My goodness, someone is even praising their own beauty now..."
Ye Zhiwei grabbed a pillow and started throwing it at Ji Shuli, yelling, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm not pretty?! I'll teach you to say I'm not pretty!"
"Just kidding, just kidding. Of course she's pretty. How could our little cousin not be pretty? I was just teasing you because you're praising yourself." Ji Shuli looked at Ye Zhiwei's "that's more like it" expression and was both amused and exasperated. But after joking around for a while, Ji Shuli seemed to remember something and pointed at Ye Zhiwei, saying, "Now that you mention it, I do remember something."
"Remembered what?"
"Back then, it seemed like Qin Manshu was also insisting on pairing me up with Ye Yingying, as if I had to be interested in a girl who was about to graduate from high school. I even jokingly asked her how she could think of the same thing as me." Ji Shuli fell into reminiscence, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "But I forgot what her reaction was when I mentioned it."
Ye Zhiwei paused for a moment, holding the pillow. She didn't know whether to say that Ji Shuli was naive or stupid. The biggest problem was that Qin Manshu clearly didn't understand the Ye family and had no contact with Ye Yingying, yet she always paired Ji Shuli and Ye Yingying together.
What exactly is Qin Manshu's situation? Was her deliberate approach to her really just because of Ji Shuli?
