"Xie Wei," Su Miaomiao called out to Xie Wei. Xie Wei snapped out of his daze and looked at Su Miaomiao with a puzzled expression.

"Who are you looking at through this shop? Or are you reminiscing about someone through this street?" Before Xie Wei could answer.

"Is it someone in your heart?" Su Miaomiao asked in a questioning tone, but her expression was one of complete understanding.

Xie Wei did not deny it and nodded.

"Is Teacher Xie trying to persuade me in this way?"

"However, it doesn't seem to have much effect." Xie Wei looked at the expression on the girl's face, who seemed unaffected by it.

Su Miaomiao smiled. Actually, she had already guessed what was going on when Xie Wei led her into this street. Su Miaomiao wasn't unaffected, but seeing Xie Wei hand her an apron just now made her heart beat even faster.

"Miaomiao, there are still two people like this. We're not a good match, and I don't like you either," Xie Wei said calmly, fiddling with his chopsticks.

The word "still" and the words "currently" reveal a lot. The two people Xie Wei was referring to were Xu Daiwei and Mu Qingcheng.

When Xie Wei first met Su Miaomiao, Su Miaomiao said she didn't like arranged marriages, and Xie Wei understood that Su Miaomiao had expectations and fantasies about love.

Just as Xie Wei said before, he may have only fulfilled all of Su Miaomiao's expectations for love, and pursuing him may have been just a passing fancy. This sense of novelty will not last long.

Xie Wei didn't want to shatter Su Miaomiao's illusions about love, so the object of her affections shouldn't be him.

“How do you know we’re not compatible if we’ve never been together?” Su Miaomiao argued. “What you said earlier doesn’t constitute a reason for you to reject me. I’ve already said I don’t care.”

Xie Wei didn't say anything more. Just then, the owner brought out their food. Su Miaomiao got a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xie Wei. The two ate without saying anything more.

Xie Wei thought it would end badly, but Su Miaomiao didn't seem to think so.

Xie Wei escorted Su Miaomiao back to school. Before leaving, Su Miaomiao said to Xie Wei, "Teacher Xie, I've learned a little more about you today. Does that mean I'm one step closer to winning you over?"

"This doesn't really count as a date, it's just me helping you reminisce about the past. So let's have a date next time, Teacher Xie."
