The distance was too close, so close that she was a little unsure of her own thoughts.
Jiang Sui realized that Xiang Baiwei was deliberately keeping a distance from him, so he stepped on the uneven gravel road with a particularly bad intention, and Xiang Baiwei's back was bumpy, so he quickly hugged his neck.
Having achieved his goal, Jiang Sui smiled faintly and said, "Hold me tight. If you shake me loose, I'll throw you down."
Xiang Baiwei's heart was pounding. She held his shoulders with her hands and stared at the back of Jiang Sui's head with shame and annoyance.
Why do I feel like he did it on purpose? He can't be that bad, right?
When they got home, Jiang Sui carefully helped Xiang Baiwei sit down on a stool, then squatted down and took off the shoes and socks on Xiang Baiwei's sprained foot.
"What are you doing?"
The hot palm pressed against her ankle. Xiang Baiwei wanted to pull her foot back uncomfortably, but Jiang Sui was faster and grabbed her ankle.
"Your feet are a little swollen. Sit still for now. I'll get you some safflower oil."
After Jiang Sui finished speaking, he went into the house to look for safflower oil.
Xiang Baiwei sat on the stool and muttered quietly: "Why do you still hold my ankle tightly? It's so annoying."
"What's annoying?"
Jiang Sui came back with a bottle of safflower oil in his hand and squatted in front of Xiang Baiwei, "Did you just say that I'm annoying?"
“…”
How did he come back so quickly?
"No, you heard it wrong."
Of course, Xiang Baiwei couldn't admit that she had just said something bad about him behind his back. Then, when she saw Jiang Sui pouring the medicinal oil on her hand and preparing to apply it to her, she quickly reached out to stop him, "I can do this kind of thing myself. I don't need your help."
Jiang Sui slapped her hand away: "Be quiet, sit still, don't move around, your hand is too light, it won't achieve the best effect."
"I'm good at farm work and I'm very strong! Don't underestimate me." Xiang Baiwei stretched out her hand to grab it unconvincedly, but Jiang Sui suddenly looked up and gave her a strange smile.
Xiang Baiwei was bewildered by Jiang Sui's smile and was about to ask him what he was laughing at, but the next second, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle, making her scream out in surprise.
When she came back to her senses, Jiang Sui was helping her rub safflower oil with a calm look on his face.
A pungent smell lingered around the two people.
"You really know how to treat sprained ankles, then why didn't you just help me fix it on the mountain just now?" Xiang Baiwei didn't notice that there was a hint of accusation in her tone.
Jiang Sui rubbed her ankle calmly: "That won't work well. If you apply safflower oil directly to the affected area, the effect will be much better."
"Really? Why do I feel like you're kidding me?"
Xiang Baiwei looked at him half-believing and half-doubting.
Jiang Sui lowered his head to rub safflower oil on her. A strange color flashed in his eyes. Then he raised his head and looked at Xiang Baiwei casually: "How do you know I can cure sprained ankle?"
He asked in a calm tone, and Bai Wei's heart was alarmed.
It's bad, something was exposed accidentally.
In this life, Jiang Sui seemed to have never shown this skill before.
Xiang Baiwei's brain was spinning rapidly, her heart was in turmoil, but her expression was calm: "I heard someone say this when I was enjoying the cool breeze in the village. I don't remember who said it, but they said that all of you teachers have special abilities. I just remember that you can do this."
Jiang Sui withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to continue rubbing her ankle.
The number of people who know that he can do this can be counted on one hand.
Among the teachers who came to Xiangjia Village with him, no one knew that he could do this.
Xiang Baiwei is lying.
Now here comes the point, how did she know this?
But now is not a good time to ask, Jiang Sui buried his doubts deep in his heart, and calmly changed the subject: "Don't walk around these two days, rest well in the house, I will do the work if there is any, you rest well, so as not to leave any sequelae."
"No need, it's just a minor injury, it will heal after a good night's sleep, I'm not that delicate."
Xiang Baiwei reached for the hoe next to her with her other foot, grasped the handle of the hoe, used the hoe as a crutch, and stood up to go into the house.
Jiang Sui looked at Bai Wei and felt so awkward. He walked over and supported her. "I found that you have a stubborn personality. After all, we are still husband and wife. You insist on drawing a line between us every day. I have been reflecting on myself these past two days, wondering what I did wrong."
After he said that, Xiang Baiwei felt embarrassed to push away Jiang Sui who was holding her up: "We have already decided to divorce, so of course I can't dominate you anymore, otherwise, what kind of person would I be?"
"Whatever you say makes sense, I can't argue with you." Jiang Sui helped him to the bed and brought him two books. "Just sit here and read. I'll go cook. If you need anything, call me and I'll get it for you. Don't move."
He spoke so seriously that Xiang Baiwei didn't dare to express her opinion in front of him.
After everyone walked out of the house, Xiang Baiwei sighed helplessly, stretched out her foot and tentatively touched the ground, wanting to see if she could walk.
As a result, before his feet even touched the ground, Jiang Sui's head popped out of the doorway: "I knew you would do this, be honest, don't make me scold you like I would a little kid!"
Xiang Baiwei thought about that scene and was so scared that she rubbed the goose bumps on her arms. She obediently sat back on the bed cross-legged and looked through the book that Jiang Sui brought her.
…
At night, after taking a shower, Liu Mei sat on the bed and stared out the window in a daze.
From noon till now, the scene of Jiang Sui walking down the mountain with his back to Bai Wei had been repeating in her mind.
The look he gave Bai Wei when he looked back was full of complacency, and was like a knife stabbing into Liu Mei's heart.
But Xiang Baiwei was able to successfully marry Jiang Sui because of her idea, and Liu Mei regretted it every time she thought about it.
I should not have given this idea to Xiang Baiwei. She is so beautiful, it is possible that Jiang Sui will be tempted by her beauty and cannot control himself.
Now it seems that Jiang Sui really was captivated by Xiang Baiwei's seductive face.
Obviously, given his personality, it would be impossible for him to do the intimate gesture like what happened this afternoon.
At most, he just helped Xiang Baiwei down the mountain.
It would be absolutely impossible for him to carry her all the way back home from the mountain in such a grand manner like he did today.
This matter had spread throughout the village by the evening.
There were even some nosy people who ran to the village chief Xiang Laogen's house and praised his daughter for being lucky to marry a man who loved his wife.
When Liu Mei and her companions passed by Xiang Laogen's door in the afternoon, they heard the laughter of a group of people gathered at his door from a distance.
What do these country folk think of Jiang Sui ? He is a handsome and talented man! In his previous life, Jiang Sui was really a taciturn person, the kind who was honest and could not talk. Although he often felt that he should have a good talk with Weiwei, he did not know how to start the conversation until he lost Weiwei...
Now, he has paid a huge price for the chance to be reborn, and vowed to change himself!
