Emotions were not as worthless as they are in later generations, reduced entirely to the exchange of money and interests.
Xiao Rui looked at Li Xiuyuan with admiration. Mayor Li was not only serious about his work, but also very serious about his relationships. He gave without expecting anything in return, which was truly magnanimous.
What he didn't know was that Mayor Li, while giving without expecting anything in return, would seek revenge.
"Alright, let's not dwell on these unpleasant things. Come on, everyone, let's have a drink." Li Xiuyuan greeted everyone with a smile, raising his glass, and everyone followed suit.
After drinking another glass, Wei Ke looked at Li Xiuyuan and comforted him, "Brother Li, don't be sad. You're so outstanding, you'll definitely meet someone even better in the future."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan wanted to explain that he wasn't sad, but he couldn't speak yet. Wei Ke's eyes darted around, her gaze shifting between Li Xiuyuan and Su Ziying, and she said, "Brother Li, actually I think you and Ziying are quite a good match. Our Ziying is so beautiful and has never been in a relationship, and you're so outstanding..."
Su Ziying's eyes widened in surprise. What was going on? How did this suddenly involve her? Being pretty was an advantage, but never having been in a relationship was now an advantage too? Li Xiuyuan had been in a relationship before, didn't he? Was this fair to me?
After drinking, her thoughts naturally became a bit muddled, and Su Ziying's mind was filled with random thoughts.
Li Xiuyuan secretly praised himself, thinking that coming to dinner tonight was indeed worthwhile, and that he hadn't helped Wei Ke for nothing. He and Su Ziying had been misunderstood by the owner of the steamed bun shop.
However, Wei Ke wasn't misunderstanding; she was trying to matchmake after understanding the situation. Although it wasn't a formal matchmaking, it was just a joke.
But he believed it would definitely leave a mark on Su Ziying's heart.
The two are a good match. Wei Ke's words were like a foreshadowing that might come into play at any time.
Xiao Rui, who was standing to the side, listened without saying a word. He admired Li Xiuyuan, but he still felt a little jealous that Li Xiuyuan was a good match for such a beautiful girl as Su Ziying.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Su Ziying, and Su Ziying also looked at Li Xiuyuan. Their eyes met, and Su Ziying's face immediately turned red.
Li Xiuyuan also kept a balance. It wasn't that he couldn't take the opportunity to go further, but the key was that it was useless. He and Su Ziying weren't at that level yet. Even though he had drunk too much tonight, Su Ziying was somewhat moved. If the two of them were really officially together, what about tomorrow?
What should they do when their relationship encounters pressure and setbacks in the future?
At the beginning, it was just because he was drunk, like child's play, so it will definitely be easier to end it. So at this time, it is possible to test the waters and leave a mark in Su Ziying's heart, but there is no need to go too far.
So he took the initiative to smile and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Teacher Su is so beautiful, how could I be worthy of her? Come on, let's drink. Teacher Su, please don't mind. I think Teacher Wei has had a bit too much to drink."
Li Xiuyuan's explanation was normal, but Su Ziying didn't feel the same way about it. It was as if Li Xiuyuan was eager to sever ties with her, especially now that he had been drinking, which amplified her emotions.
