"Then, Mr. Li, I'll take you there," Wang Zhitao said, offering his own opinion since he didn't feel comfortable letting Li Xiuyuan drive.
Li Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. However, after starting the car, Wang Zhitao hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "Brother Li, you're going to sleep at the Meilin Village post, probably not just because the village is quiet, right?"
The change in address made Li Xiuyuan guess what Wang Zhitao wanted to say. His relationship with Su Ziying was currently ambiguous, and it was definitely not a purely working relationship.
They call themselves friends? An unmarried young man and an unmarried young woman, who would believe they're just friends?
But to call them lovers, they haven't reached that level yet.
In short, everyone can see that Li Xiuyuan and Su Ziying have an unusual relationship. However, this is only in the village, and not many people in the town know about it. But Wang Zhitao, as a member of the guidance group, often goes to Meilin Village and must have heard about it.
So Li Xiuyuan nodded directly: "Yes, it's not just for the village to be quiet and free from noise when we sleep, but also for the work. The fact that I live and eat in Meilin Village shows the government's emphasis on the Meilin Village project."
Wang Zhitao choked for a moment, but still wouldn't give up, and continued to ask, "Brother Li, I heard from someone that you and Teacher Su, who's teaching in a rural area, are..."
The reason why the matter between Li Xiuyuan and Su Ziying did not spread in the town government was mainly because most of the people who went to Meilin Village were members of the guidance team. The members of the guidance team respected Li Xiuyuan and would not spread rumors about him.
"It's not easy for Teacher Su to come all this way to teach in Meilin Village. I've been quite concerned about her, but our friendship is purely platonic. She's dedicated to the education of Meilin Village, and I'm dedicated to the development of Meilin Village..." Li Xiuyuan said righteously.
He didn't care too much about the gossip and rumors about him and Su Ziying, nor was he afraid of being talked about. They were both unmarried, so what was wrong with having a little romance?
However, he certainly won't admit it directly until he and Su Ziying have reached that point.
Wang Zhitao smiled and said, "Brother Li, this revolutionary friendship can be taken to the next level!"
Li Xiuyuan was caught off guard by Wang Zhitao's words, and then said sarcastically, "Looks like having a girlfriend makes a difference. You've started talking like a pro. Lu Ting must have taught you a lot."
"Haha." Wang Zhitao was now quite shameless, laughing as he said, "Brother Li, I always have to improve by working alongside you. But I must say, Teacher Su is indeed quite beautiful. When you two stand together, you're a perfect couple. Brother Li, you'd better hurry up and make your move."
Damn it, Li Xiuyuan didn't want to say any more. This engagement guy is really something. Before, when it came to this kind of thing, Wang Zhitao's face would turn red after just a couple of sentences. Now he's joking around and doesn't care at all. He's even started lecturing me.
The car's headlights pierced the darkness of the village committee compound. Su Ziying hadn't rested yet. It had rained all day, and the rain only stopped in the afternoon. Li Xiuyuan hadn't been around all day, and she thought he wouldn't be coming back today. But it was so late, and Li Xiuyuan's car had actually returned.
Li Xiuyuan got out of the car, waved to Wang Zhitao, and then walked towards his office. Seeing that Su Ziying's room light was still on, Li Xiuyuan went inside and took out his phone to send a message to Su Ziying.
"I'm back."
These four simple words can evoke a lot of thoughts. If you're just friends, sending this message seems a bit redundant. Whether you come back or not, what does it have to do with them?
