I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Qin Yue: [Ah? Is there any misunderstanding between them? ]

As he spoke, Qin Yue looked up at Lord Xu.

Well, her face is as red as a monkey's butt. Judging from her appearance, she should be in her early twenties. So, by this calculation, Miss Wu Manyu should be almost twenty years old!

[Sister, judging from their ages, they should be quite old. Why haven’t they gotten married yet? They don’t want to follow in the footsteps of Minister Lin, do they?]

Minister Lin who was suddenly cueed said: It doesn’t matter… No matter what outsiders say, he now has a fiancée… A hundred times better than some single dogs!

Minister Lin thought so and glanced at Lord Xu with a bit of arrogance, and the disdain in his eyes was too obvious.

With just one glance, a certain single guy named Mr. Xu felt as if he had been hit by a thousand critical points!

Mr. Xu: My heart aches...

After hearing what Xiao Fuguan said, everyone finally realized that Lord Xu is already an adult, but why hasn't he taken any action in all these years?

How come this is not as good as Minister Lin? Minister Lin at least went on a blind date, but he just pissed the person off. But at least he took action, right?

Mr. Wu has such a good daughter, why doesn’t Mr. Xu try hard to marry her?

If they met such an outstanding girl, they would take Wu home even if it meant licking her face, and they would even be willing to let her marry!

Of course, this is just an analogy, a pure analogy, they have absolutely no other thoughts! It is impossible! How gentle and considerate the "beautiful wife" at home is...

System: [Didn’t I just say there was a misunderstanding between the two of them? ]

Qin Yue urged: [What misunderstanding? It's such a pity that we missed each other for so many years! Sister, please tell me more! ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin moved his buttocks forward, and Eunuch Li followed his gaze.

The court officials continued to sit and wait with their hands in their pockets...

Lord Xu continued to blush, trying to find clues to some misunderstanding in his mind...

System: [In the first two years, the two of them studied the art of mechanical engineering together. Since Master Xu had a certain foundation, although the two of them had different talents, Master Xu had experience to back them up. At the beginning, Master Xu's learning progress was faster than Miss Wu Manyu.]

[In order to catch up with Master Xu, Miss Wu Manyu worked even harder. She persisted in her studies regardless of the scorching heat or the cold winter.]

[The experienced Master Xu had already seen that Miss Wu Manyu's talent was much higher than his. As a young boy, he inevitably had a sense of inferiority. In order to maintain the appearance of a senior brother in front of Miss Wu Manyu, he worked very hard.]

[The two of them chased and were chased, year after year, and both of them temporarily put aside the throbbing feelings in their hearts for each other. Only when one day they are qualified enough to stand beside each other, will they regain that throbbing and bravely express the deep feelings in their hearts. ]

[However, under the crushing influence of Miss Wu Manyu's talent, within two years, Master Xu began to slowly fall behind, and Master Xu, who saw the gap clearly, felt extremely inferior.]

Qin Yue: [So Mr. Xu feels that he is not worthy of Miss Wu Manyu? And they are still missing each other until now? ]

[It feels like two top students who mistakenly believe that they must surpass each other in some aspect in order to feel qualified to like each other.]

[Of course, being evenly matched in a relationship is the best, but it doesn’t mean you have to fight to be the winner! It’s already very rare to support each other, accompany each other, move forward together, be together in heart, and work hard in the same direction. ]

[Besides, they are both outstanding in the same field, so they have more common language and can understand each other better. Isn't this more "close to each other" than other people? ]

[Sure enough, people who are too smart have a high attitude towards relationships. Rather than being inferior, it’s better to say that they can’t accept that they are not as good as the other person, especially Mr. Xu! ]

Qin Yue's words were like a wake-up call to Lord Xu, hitting his mind heavily, again and again!

So was he wrong?

Was what he thought was his inferiority complex actually due to his own self-esteem?

The more Lord Xu thought about it, the more he felt that he was wrong, so wrong!

Xiao Fuguan was right, the moments he and his junior sister spent together were the most precious, rather than trying to determine who was stronger and who was weaker.

Shouldn't he be proud of his junior sister's strength?

It’s actually not difficult to let go of the obsession in your heart!

Wouldn't it be better to make progress together? Why did he run away?!

It's all his fault, it's all his fault!

Everyone in the hall looked at Lord Xu's distraught look and shed tears of sympathy.

Poor two lovers, they missed so many years just because of their pitiful self-esteem...

System: [Yes, Lord Xu’s problem was indeed caused by his pride, and Miss Wu Manyu’s problem was caused by a misunderstanding.]

[After Lord Xu chose to escape and leave for the capital, intending to make a name for himself, he returned to confess his feelings to Wu Manyu. However, before he left, a conversation between him and Wu Zhixin caused Wu Manyu to misunderstand him.]

Qin Yue: [What did they talk about? ]

System: [As an experienced person, Wu Zhixin has long seen that the two care about each other, but it seems that the two of them use their attainments in mechanical arts as bargaining chips for their relationship.]

[When Wu Zhixin heard that Lord Xu was planning to go to the capital to display his talents, he guessed that Lord Xu was probably too shocked and wanted to escape because he didn't understand the situation, so he wanted to give him a little reminder.]

[He said at the time: "Qing'er, your skills were taught by your master. If you want to go to the capital, you will have a good chance. Your master can also write a letter of recommendation for you, and you can take it to the current Minister of Works."]

[“But if you leave, your sister will probably be lonely. I want to ask you, are you willing to take your sister with you to the capital? With her attainments in mechanical arts, she will definitely be able to help you. In this way, your sister can go to the capital to see the world and realize her own value.”]

Qin Yue: [It seems like Wu Zhixin is about to say the words “I’ll marry my granddaughter to you, are you willing?”! ]

[Master Xu, didn't you hear it? ? ? ]

Lord Xu was stunned when he heard this!

Ah? Is this what Master meant at that time? !

At that time, he only wanted to achieve something as soon as possible, without thinking deeply, and just thought that what the master said was really just for him to take his junior sister to the capital to see the world! !

Thinking of his answer at that time, I wanted to slap myself twice, it was really... Alas...

No wonder my junior sister misunderstood me...
