Both looked at her with disbelief. Qin Youbei cleared her throat and said, "Actually, we're not even friends, otherwise why treat to a meal, and..."
She thought for a moment, then fibbed shamelessly against her better judgement, "...it's a girl."
Ouyang Xiaojun and Lin Jiujiu both scoffed in unison, "We thought you got yourself a boyfriend."
"That night, Xie Xiaoyan said you left with a man, we thought you were going to have a meal with him today."
Qin Youbei laughed nervously, "No, I took a taxi straight to the hospital. I used Didi, so that's why there was a misunderstanding. Afterwards, I called my cousin, and she picked me up from the hospital!"
Neither of them believed this explanation very much.
Lin Jiujiu said mysteriously, "Are you sure you went to the hospital and not to meet some handsome guy?"
Her eyes gleaming with the light of gossip, prodding as if trying to hook out every little detail about what had happened to Qin Youbei that night!
