Actually, when Su Ziying asked this question, she had some expectations in her mind. She knew that Li Xiuyuan would definitely not let her in. He would most likely make her wait at the door while he went in and drove out.
That night, Li Xiuyuan escorted him back to his dormitory. One reason was that Li Xiuyuan had been drinking, so he was naturally more daring in his speech and actions. Another reason was that it was, after all, a town middle school, so even if there were some rumors, they wouldn't reach the town government, and even if they did, it would take time.
But if Li Xiuyuan were to take me to the town government today, things would be different. This is where Li Xiuyuan works, and the gossip and rumors would probably spread like wildfire all weekend.
Given Li Xiuyuan's cautious nature, how could he possibly take me inside? The most likely explanation is that he'll find a very plausible reason to have me wait at the door.
This reason is certainly one that no one can find fault with, and one might even say that it's for one's own good.
As Su Ziying was thinking, Li Xiuyuan slowly spoke up: "Teacher Su, what are you saying? This is the town government, not some shady place. Are you afraid to let Teacher Su in? Teacher Su, please."
Upon hearing this, Su Ziying's face showed a hint of surprise, which Li Xiuyuan noticed. The issues Su Ziying was considering were actually only the first level. If he didn't want Su Ziying to enter the unit and was afraid of being seen by others, he would have parked the car in front of the town government in advance.
Or when I go to the town's middle school playground for exercise in the morning, I can just drive there directly, so I don't have to face this dilemma at all.
Because when faced with Su Ziying's question, as long as one is unwilling to take Su Ziying to the town government, no matter how one answers, it will leave Su Ziying with resentment. In that case, it's better to nip it in the bud and prevent Su Ziying from having the opportunity to ask the question at all.
Now that he had brought Su Ziying with him, Li Xiuyuan was already prepared.
So what if there are gossips and rumors? He's unmarried and single, and Su Ziying is also unmarried and single. There are some rumors that the two are dating. Does Li Xiuyuan care? Does this involve matters of personal conduct? No.
Being unmarried and single is the strongest source of confidence. No matter which girl he dates, no one will bring up his lifestyle issues.
The reason I was hesitant about certain influences before was because I wasn't prepared. But things are different now. Now that I've made up my mind to pursue Su Ziying and be with her, there's no need to worry about those influences anymore.
Su Ziying looked at Li Xiuyuan with bright eyes. She hadn't expected that Li Xiuyuan would be willing to take her to the town government so early in the morning. Didn't he care about the impact?
Although Li Xiuyuan's words were open and aboveboard, such as "This is the town government, not some shady place. Why would we be afraid of Teacher Su coming in?", Su Ziying didn't believe that Li Xiuyuan was completely unaware of the impact that a young male town mayor would have if he brought a girl into the town government early in the morning, got into a car, and left together.
Li Xiuyuan took her to school late at night, as rumors had started circulating at the school these past two days.
This was still within my own school. Although I was pretty, I was well-known within the school because I was a volunteer teacher, but I wasn't the center of attention. Li Xiuyuan, on the other hand, was a leader in the town, so he naturally became the center of attention in the town.
If Li Xiuyuan really takes me in, it will have a significant impact on Li Xiuyuan.
"Really?" Su Ziying asked again, uncertainly.
“Really, Ms. Su, please.” Li Xiuyuan looked intently at Su Ziying without flinching.
