"Well, you didn't come back over the weekend, so your aunt and uncle asked me to bring you some clothes. When is it convenient for you? I'll bring them to you." Wang Yi said somewhat apologetically over the phone.
Li Xiuyuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously asked, "Which uncle and aunt?"
"Didn't your parents tell you?"
Li Xiuyuan frowned upon hearing this. He really didn't know about this, and his parents hadn't told him about it either. What did it mean for Wang Yi to come and deliver the clothes?
If I needed it, I would just go back and get it. It wouldn't take long to drive there. Why would I bother others, let alone Wang Yi? When did my parents contact Wang Yi?
Li Xiuyuan was puzzled, but he didn't remain silent for long. Instead, he said directly, "Thank you, Teacher Wang. This is too much trouble for you. My parents didn't even tell me. I'm really sorry to trouble you with such a small matter. How about this, don't bother sending it to me. I'll go pick it up later. Thank you so much, Teacher Wang."
Li Xiuyuan spoke politely, but in his heart he was already thinking about avoiding suspicion. What would it look like if someone saw Wang Yi coming over to deliver clothes to him, and what would happen if rumors spread?
It's better to go pick it up yourself, since there are no classes at school on weekends and not many people around.
Wang Yi didn't understand the meaning behind Li Xiuyuan's words and thought that Li Xiuyuan simply didn't want to trouble her.
"It's alright. I heard from your aunt and uncle that you were quite busy this weekend and didn't have to work. I'm free too, so I'll bring it to you."
"I appreciate Teacher Wang's kindness, but I'm really sorry to trouble you. Let's just say I'll head over now." After saying that, Li Xiuyuan didn't give Wang Yi a chance to refuse. He hung up the phone, drove downstairs, and headed towards the town's middle school.
Actually, it wasn't far away. The reason Li Xiuyuan drove was that he didn't want to carry a bag of clothes on the street, as it would attract attention. To put it bluntly, he wanted to avoid suspicion.
The car stopped at the school gate. After Wang Yi came out of the school carrying a bundle, Li Xiuyuan got out of the car, his face full of smiles: "Teacher Wang, thank you so much, thank you so much. I didn't even know that, I'm so sorry to have troubled you..."
Li Xiuyuan's attitude was impeccable, yet his enthusiasm was tinged with a strong sense of distance.
After taking the bag from Wang Yi, Li Xiuyuan threw it directly into his trunk.
"Mayor Li, don't be so polite, I..." Wang Yi felt a little strange seeing Li Xiuyuan being so polite.
"Oh, this isn't just politeness, I'm really sorry. It's not far from the county, I can just drive there myself, so I'm troubling you, Teacher Wang."
"It's nothing, I just did it on the side."
"Well, I still want to thank Teacher Wang no matter what. But I already have plans for tonight, so let's do it another day. I'll treat Teacher Wang to dinner another day as a way of expressing my gratitude..."
"No need to trouble yourself, it's just a small matter, really no need..." Wang Yi was quite happy to hear that Li Xiuyuan wanted to treat her to a meal, but the implication in Li Xiuyuan's words was that since she was thanking him for bringing him clothes, she should at least be polite.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her polite words, Li Xiuyuan immediately changed his tune and said, "Alright then, if Teacher Wang needs any help in the future, just give me a call. Thank you. I have other things to do, so I won't chat any longer."
"Okay, then you can go back now. Goodbye." Wang Yi was a little taken aback as she watched Li Xiuyuan get into the car and leave.
