“Because you are so good-looking! My parents will definitely like you as much as they like me.” Ye Shuang raised her proud little face, but she continued seriously, “And usually in the county government office, I guess Master Ma often helps my brother with his official duties. My parents must really want to know what my brother is like in the county government office.”
These words made Li Wenyi and Master Ma laugh together. Li Wenyi even pinched Ye Shuang's cheek and said, "You're such a little adult."
After laughing, Li Wenyi looked at Master Ma and said, "If Master Ma doesn't mind, please come to my house for a meal. My parents will be going back home in a few days after the Lantern Festival, and they will definitely want to see you."
Master Ma hesitated for a moment, then nodded and asked curiously, "Why don't your family members settle in the county?"
“I’m used to village life, and there are some things I can’t easily give up.” Li Wenyi gave a helpless bitter smile. “Then let’s go.”
“Then I shall respectfully accept your offer.” Master Ma smiled easily and followed behind Li Wenyi.
As they entered the courtyard, the food that Madam Li had prepared was just ready, and its aroma filled the air. Her gentle voice also rang out: "Oh, guests have arrived? Come in, come in quickly. I've even prepared some wine today; you're in for a treat."
"Thank you, Auntie." Before Master Ma could finish speaking, Li Wenyi pulled him into the main room and made him sit down.
“We’re all country folk, we don’t have many rules. We’ll eat whatever looks good and drink as much as we like.” Li Wenyi put the chopsticks in Master Ma’s hand and introduced him to Li Mantian sitting next to him, “Father, this is my master, Ma Cairen.”
Li Mantian nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's right. My Wenyi is absolutely right. In my house, we don't need to be so particular. Just do whatever makes you comfortable. If you were to be so particular, we wouldn't know what to do."
"Uncle is right, then I won't stand on ceremony." Ma Cairen smiled with relief. He had thought that with such a good-natured person as his father, how could his uncle and aunt be difficult to get along with?
After serving the last dish, Li sat down next to Ye Shuang, took out the wine she had bought, and poured a glass for each of them, but Ye Shuang's glass only contained plum juice.
Li Mantian raised his glass first and said, "A big event happened in our family this year. Wenyi became an official, and so smoothly, with people helping him. Although I don't say it, I am very gratified. I also want to thank this Master Ma. I imagine this kid has caused you a lot of trouble. I hope you will continue to be tolerant of him in the future."
Ma Cairen quickly raised his wine cup and said, "No, no, I'm grateful. You've taught me a lot and helped me understand many things. You've also been very tolerant of me. I want to thank you even more."
Li Wenyi also raised his glass: "From now on, we will learn from each other and support each other. I believe that with you by my side, no matter what difficulties we face, they will be resolved smoothly."
Ma Cairen blushed instantly, nodded repeatedly, slightly touched Li Wenyi's wine glass, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Ye Shuang glanced at Ma Cairen, whose face was flushed, and then at Li Wenyi, who was laughing happily. Wait a minute, is there something she doesn't know about these two? In the cultivation world, homosexuality is not a strange thing.
