Chapter 373 Rejecting the Invitation
Xu Damao, who was originally going to refuse, thought for a moment after hearing Li Qin's words, and finally nodded with a smile.
"Thank you so much!"
Xu Damao and Li Qin had been in contact for quite some time.
He also gained some understanding of Li Qin's personality.
Although Li Qin's uncle was Li Huaide, he never abused his power to bully others.
Moreover, her personality is also very good.
Most importantly, Li Qin's idea was very correct.
Once a decision is made, it is rarely able to be changed.
Once something is given away, it certainly won't be taken back.
A smile flashed in Li Qin's eyes as he saw Xu Damao take the things.
Actually, Li Qin had originally planned to send Xu Damao a box of mooncakes that evening.
This item is not common on the market;
The raw materials for making mooncakes are countless in Li Qin's pagoda space, and the process of making them is also not difficult.
So he took some time to process a lot of mooncakes in the space.
Li Qin has made quite a few mooncakes, whether they are sweet mooncakes from the south, savory mooncakes from the north, or mooncakes with some unique flavors.
However, Xu Damao first sent him some things, although they were all common dried goods.
It was nothing to Li Qin, but what he cared about more was the other person's feelings.
That's why they packed some other things in addition to mooncakes.
Just then, Xu Damao suddenly seemed to have thought of something and spoke again;
"By the way, when I came here, my dad asked me to invite you to our house for lunch today to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."
Upon hearing this, Li Qin's face remained full of smiles, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, had met Li Qin many times, and each time the other party was very enthusiastic.
However, Li Qin could clearly sense that Xu Fugui had many schemes in mind.
In comparison, Xu Damao is much more "simple".
Therefore, Li Qin could get along very well with Xu Damao, but was not so willing to associate with Xu Fugui.
After a brief silence, Li Qin smiled and shook his head in refusal:
"No need, I'm going out in a bit and won't be back for lunch today, so I won't bother you. I hope you all enjoy your family reunion."
He declined Xu Damao's invitation not only because he didn't want to associate with that old fox Xu Fugui, but also because he really didn't plan to come back at noon.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a look of regret and disappointment flashed across Xu Damao's face.
He knew that since Li Qin had said that, he must have made a decision.
The key point is that Xu Damao only realized at this moment that Li Qin's clothes were indeed very neat today, and when he came earlier, he did see Li Qin seemingly about to go out.
So I didn't try to persuade them.
He simply nodded with a regretful expression;
"Oh well!"
After chatting for a few more minutes, Xu Damao took his leave.
"Since you're going out, I won't take up any more of your time. But if you come back at noon, remember to come to my house for lunch."
Although Xu Damao knew that the possibility was very small, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
This time, Li Qin did not give a definitive answer, but nodded slightly.
But Li Qin knew very well that he would not be able to come back at noon.
According to his plan, he would wander around Beijing this morning to experience the Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere.
At noon, he would either find a place to eat in Beijing or go to Hong Kong for lunch.
Neither of these options makes it possible to return to the courtyard house.
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he immediately got up and left. Li Qin saw him off and then checked the situation at home.
After confirming that there were no problems, I pushed my bicycle out the door.
As Li Qin pushed his bicycle out, many residents in the courtyard looked on with puzzled expressions.
"Li Qin, isn't today a holiday? Are you still going out?"
Li Qin smiled and nodded to the resident who had asked the question, then explained calmly.
"Today is indeed a holiday, but I'm all alone at home, so there's not much point in staying at home. Therefore, I plan to take this opportunity to explore Beijing properly."
As everyone knows, although I've been living in Beijing for two years, I've never had a proper chance to explore it.
As Li Qin explained, many people around him suddenly realized what was going on.
They had no doubt about Li Qin's words.
After all, Li Qin could barely make a living in Beijing before, and he had to worry about even eating every day, so he didn't have the energy to go sightseeing.
It's only now that my job is stable and my circumstances are gradually improving that I have the leisure to do so.
After explaining, Li Qin greeted everyone and continued pushing his bicycle outside.
The gazes of the people behind him as they looked at Li Qin's back were very complex.
Some felt envy, some jealousy, some pity, and some disdain;
There's no need to elaborate on those who are envious and jealous;
It must be because Li Qin doesn't have much financial pressure living alone that he has the leisure to wander around with his spare money.
As for those who felt pity, they felt that Li Qin was all alone in Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions.
He doesn't even have a single relative.
Those who were dismissive felt that although Li Qin's situation was slightly better now, he didn't even have an elder in his family.
Many things will become very difficult in the future.
For example, finding a partner.
During this period, having elders at home to help with the arrangements makes a huge difference compared to not having them.

As Li Qin pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard, he heard a series of prompts in his ears, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
He was genuinely confused about what had happened.
He clearly didn't do anything just now, so why are those people in the courtyard starting to cast emotional spells on him?
"Wow, these neighbors are so considerate! I'm starting to feel embarrassed if this continues!"
Although there was a hint of complaint in his words, Li Qin's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were brimming with laughter.
As Li Qin pushed his bicycle forward, he opened the information panel that he hadn't looked at in a long time.

Upon seeing the information on the panel, a hint of smugness flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
After this period of settling, the data on the panel has changed dramatically.
