After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Tyrants Beloved (28)

If he directly revealed his identity, it might raise suspicions. Qi Mingxuan might have some feelings for him now, but who knows how long that affection will last? Human emotions have always been cheap. He had lived for so long, was there anything he hadn't seen?

When in love, everything is good, but once love fades, seemingly insignificant matters become magnified. There have been many examples of lovers turning into enemies throughout history. Li Shu had seen such a situation with his own eyes. The lovers who were once deeply affectionate fought against each other for profit, so it was better not to have too much hope in something like love.

Although 1314 didn't want its host to be abducted by another man, it couldn't help but silently light a row of candles for the male protagonist after hearing what he was thinking.

[What are you thinking? Before, you were infuriated by the male protagonist's ill intentions, but now you're sympathizing with him?] Sensing the system's mood change, Li Shu raised an eyebrow. The little thing's thoughts change too quickly.

[Hehe,] 1314 chuckled twice, then quickly resumed a serious tone. [Regarding the male protagonist, what does the host plan to do?]

Thinking about this matter, Li Shu had a headache. Recently, Qi Mingxuan's behavior in front of him became increasingly unreserved, just one sentence away from piercing the window paper. He initially planned to pretend not to know, thinking that if he ignored him for a while, the male protagonist's enthusiasm for him would decrease during this time. It might take a long time, but that was fine; time was something he had in abundance.

[Let it be for now. Otherwise, what do you suggest we do?] As long as Qi Mingxuan didn't make things explicit, he will continue playing dumb. It's a matter of who loses patience first.

He can't directly reveal the truth when Qi Mingxuan hasn't said anything. In the current situation, whoever speaks first loses the advantage.

Anyway, it wasn't him who should be anxious.

Li Shu's steadfast attitude was tormenting Qi Mingxuan. No matter how he probed, the response remained the same. From being confident initially, he had become increasingly uneasy. However, the affairs in the court had reached a critical point, so he had to put aside his personal feelings and focus on matters in court.

Finally, Li Shu was freed from Qi Mingxuan's attempts to boost favorability. Seeing the male protagonist get busy with official matters, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been tempted to express his attitude directly to Qi Mingxuan several times.

This couldn't go on. Li Shu decided to visit the Left Prime Minister's residence to shift his attention.

The scenery at the Left Prime Minister's residence was still the same—pavilions were scattered, flowers bloomed beautifully, and servants moved in an orderly manner. Looking at the high-ranking officials and noble families in the capital, one couldn't imagine that beneath this façade, the common people were suffering.

As the saying goes, "Behind rich gates, the smell of wine and meat is pungent; on the road, bones freeze to death." How could those living in luxury understand the hardships of the lower-class people? Due to ignorance and greed, even the money meant for saving lives isn't spared. Those people only cared about themselves, oblivious to the countless hardships of those beneath them

Just like the current Left Prime Minister's residence, the Left Prime Minister, a man above ten thousand others, has a newly crowned top scholar in his family—what an honor. What? You say the top scholar moved out of the Left Prime Minister's residence, writes very few characters with the surname Li, and doesn't interact much with the Left Prime Minister's residence? Even if he didn't interact with them, as long as his surname was Li, he'd forever be tied to the Li family's big ship.
