"What's wrong?"
"I heard someone say that Li Xiuyuan brought you home one night last week?" Wang Yi asked directly.
Facing Wang Yi's gaze, Su Ziying nodded: "Yes, isn't Teacher Wei from Meilin Village leaving? Mayor Li helped a lot. Teacher Wei treated Teacher Xiao Rui, Mayor Li, and me. Later, Teacher Wei and Teacher Xiao drank quite a bit and rested at a hotel in the county town. Mayor Li happened to be back in town and saw me off."
Su Ziying's explanation was perfectly reasonable. Wang Yi listened with a sudden realization and said with a smile, "Oh, I see. I thought..."
"What did you think?" Su Ziying pressed.
"I thought you had some kind of relationship with him," Wang Yi said. Su Ziying didn't say anything, but just looked at Wang Yi with a condescending look in her eyes. Did she have any relationship with Li Xiuyuan, and what did that have to do with Wang Yi?
She didn't say it aloud, but Su Ziying's eyes clearly conveyed it. Normally, Su Ziying is indeed quite easygoing and has no airs, but when it comes to her own interests, Su Ziying is the daughter of a high-ranking official, how could she not have her own personality?
Wang Yi felt uncomfortable under Su Ziying's gaze, so she said, "Ziying, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. It's impossible for me and Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan has already made his position clear."
As Wang Yi said this, there was still a bitter feeling in her heart. After she delivered the clothes to Li Xiuyuan last time, the next day Li Xiuyuan's aunt, Li Simin, told her mother that Li Xiuyuan had no such intention.
Wang Yi was very upset for a while. Before, she thought that she was not with Li Xiuyuan because she had a boyfriend, but now that they had broken up, she realized that he didn't like her either.
"And what is this?" Su Ziying asked, her voice somewhat cold.
“I don’t think you’re a good fit. You volunteer teachers will eventually have to go back home,” Wang Yi said. She didn’t know what her motivation was, but she just felt she had to say something.
Perhaps it was jealousy, or some other reason, but she was rejected by Li Xiuyuan, and then her dormitory teacher got together with Li Xiuyuan. Just thinking about it made her feel bad.
Wang Yi's words made Su Ziying feel a little uncomfortable. She could roughly guess Wang Yi's purpose; it was definitely not simply for her own good. But the problem was, lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
After my teaching stint ends, I will definitely go back home. It's impossible for me to stay in the central town forever, especially considering the difference in our family backgrounds.
Girls from ordinary families might still be a bit love-struck and naive at this point, but Su Ziying grew up in a high-ranking family and wouldn't simply view marriage as a matter between two people.
Having seen so much, she knew what was going on. She wondered if her parents would feel pressured, and if Li Xiuyuan would feel pressured. These were all things she was thinking about. However, things hadn't reached that point between her and Li Xiuyuan yet.
These thoughts flashed through her mind for only a moment before Su Ziying said, "Thank you, I've thought about these things. Also, I've applied to Meilin Village Primary School. We should be going to Meilin Village after May Day."
Today is already the last week of April. After Labor Day, I will be going to Meilin Village Primary School. I only have this one week left to spend with Wang Yi.
Wang Yi listened, somewhat dazed. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Su Ziying had already turned her head away and was busy with her own things, showing no intention of saying anything more. Wang Yi sighed inwardly, knowing that her relationship with Su Ziying could never go back to what it was before.
