The bespectacled man, after hearing Shu Li addressing Shu Yan as âLittle Sisterâ, quickly greeted Shu Yan.
âHi, how are you? I am a teacher at the grade school nearby. Iâm just about to pick up some materials for my class.â His smile was a bit shy.
âHi.â Shu Yan nodded at him politely. She glanced over at the man. He was decent looking, had good temperament, and was a teacher at the grade school next door. Shu Yan couldnât help but wonder whether her speculation was wrong.
âThen...... thank you so much, Boss Shu. When do you think the material will be in?â asked the teacher as he pushed his spectacles up a little.
âIt will be here the day after tomorrow. You can come in the afternoon.â Shu Li saw the man out politely and quickly explained to Shu Yan. âHe came frequently to order test papers and school materials. We donât talk a lot with each other.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIsnât it normal that youâd talk to him? Why do you need to explain to me?â asked Shu Yan, finding that amusing.
âI...... I didnât want you to get the wrong idea.â Seeing that Shu Yan didnât say anything else, Shu Li let out a small sigh.
Shu Yan recognized where the problem lied. The male teacher might really just be a regular customer, which was why he acted like he had nothing to hide. Shu Li probably didnât have any thoughts about him either. She only felt awkward because she didnât want Shu Yan to misunderstand.
The divorce had, after all, negatively impacted Shu Li. Her inferiority complex, for example. She felt ashamed of the fact that she was a divorcee.
âSecond Sister, we are in City Nan, not our hometown. Getting a divorce when a relationship fails is normal. And itâs also normal to get remarried when you meet someone else. You donât need to worry so much. I have been divorced and remarried myself and now I am pregnant. We are in the same boat. I still live my life normally. Did you see anyone gossiping about me? Push comes to shove, they can badmouth me behind closed doors. I donât care what they say about me if I canât hear them.
âI just got a divorce and worry about how it looks.â Mainly she didnât want her children affected.
Those were the same thoughts that Shu Yan had before. An adult could handle some crazy words, but what about the children?
âYou had been divorced for over 6 months. There are no problems. Besides, who in City Nan knows about your past? That was part of the reason that I left City Xi with my children back then. Besides, divorces are common here and nobody would think much of it even when they find out. You can consider another relationship if you meet the right person. I am not rushing you. I am just saying that itâs normal to get a divorce when things have gotten to a certain point. And it is also okay to get married again if you meet the right person. But donât get married for the sake of getting married. You donât need to get married. If you are more comfortable being by yourself, then just stay single. Itâs your life and you make your own calls. Donât listen to other people. At this point in our life, we can just do as we please.â
Shu Li looked at Shu Yan, dazed. âYou think that I donât need to get remarried?â
âOf course.â Shu Yan gave Shu Li a strange look. âI feel that as long as one can take care of oneself, they donât need to get married at all. Who said one must get married by a certain age? Getting married meant one must have children? Getting a divorce means you must get remarried? You are in City Nan now. Nobody knows you nor are there our friends and families who had nothing better to do. Of course you should do as you please.â
Had she not met Feng Zeyu, Shu Yan didnât think sheâd get remarried so soon. Or that if she never met the right person, she wouldnât even get remarried again at all. She had a son, a daughter, and money. She was comfortable being by herself. Had she not met someone that she liked and liked her and was nice to her, what was the purpose of getting remarried? Did she find her days too comfortable?
