After asking the question, Su Ziying felt relieved, put her hands behind her back, and walked with light steps.
But just then, Li Xiuyuan quickened his pace, turned around and looked at Su Ziying: "Teacher Su, are you so concerned about my love life?"
"No, I was just asking casually. Can't we just chat?" Su Ziying pouted.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Okay, then I'll also inquire about Teacher Su's love life. What type of boy does Teacher Su like?"
Li Xiuyuan's question was also somewhat ambiguous, but since Su Ziying asked it first, Li Xiuyuan's question could be explained away as "casual conversation."
Looking at Li Xiuyuan's face, Su Ziying's heart beat slightly faster: "I never thought about it."
"Really?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Mayor Li, what type of girl do you like?" Su Ziying quickly asked back, afraid that Li Xiuyuan would press her for more information.
Li Xiuyuan paused for a moment upon hearing this before slowly speaking, his voice somewhat deep, yet carrying a hint of magnetism in the night: "I can't say for sure. Actually, someone has asked me this question before. I think before meeting this person, there might be various qualities—gentleness, cuteness, beauty—but after meeting that person, all of those things disappear."
That person is your type; whatever her type is, that's the type you like.
As Li Xiuyuan spoke, he glanced at Su Ziying, causing Su Ziying's heart to beat a few beats faster. It has to be said that Li Xiuyuan's words would be unremarkable twenty years later, but at this time, his views were still somewhat novel.
At least Su Ziying felt a strong connection to it. Su Ziying lowered her head slightly and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Me too."
"What did you say?" Li Xiuyuan asked curiously, clearly not having heard clearly.
"I didn't say anything, I've arrived." Su Ziying stood at the school gate with a smile and said to Li Xiuyuan.
"Shall I take you in?" Li Xiuyuan asked Su Ziying. Now that they were at the school gate, he let Su Ziying choose whether or not to take her in.
It's so late, and a boy is walking a girl home. If someone sees this, there will definitely be some rumors.
Su Ziying glanced at Li Xiuyuan, then said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble Mayor Li."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and followed Su Ziying into the school. The gatekeeper, Old Zhang, didn't recognize Li Xiuyuan at first and was about to say something, "If you're dropping someone off, hurry up and come out, it's getting late..."
It was so late, and besides the school teachers, Old Zhang naturally had to be extra careful when strangers came in. But in doing so, he spotted Mayor Li.
"Mayor Li..." Old Zhang rubbed his eyes.
"Okay, I'll see Teacher Su off for a bit, I'll be right out." Li Xiuyuan nodded. He wasn't afraid of any rumors about him and Su Ziying anymore. He wouldn't actively fuel the rumors, but if Su Ziying was willing to let him see her off and didn't mind, he certainly wouldn't care.
