As dusk fell, Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui walked side by side, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
At a small intersection in the distance, Liu Mei was holding the clothes she had just sewn in her hands, looking at two figures that were getting farther and farther away, yet getting closer and closer.
The jealousy in her eyes was so full that it was about to overflow.
Xiang Baiwei had obviously used dishonorable means to marry Jiang Sui, so why did their relationship progress so quickly? How could Jiang Sui be willing to accept such a country girl? She was unwilling.
Liu Mei, who had lost her mind, stared at the two figures, and the idea that had been brewing in her mind for a long time came to her mind again.
She couldn't tolerate Jiang Sui and Xiang Baiwei continuing to be together like this for even a moment.
Wednesday morning.
Jiang Sui finished a meeting with several teachers in his simple office and got up to go to the bathroom.
When they came out of the toilet, Ma Fengcheng appeared out of nowhere, came to Jiang Sui's side, put his arm around his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "When you went to the toilet just now, do you know what I saw?"
Jiang Sui twisted his body to avoid Ma Fengcheng's movements, as if he was not used to him doing such an intimate thing with him. After the two of them were a fist away from each other, he spoke: "Tell me what you saw."
"Liu Mei, I saw her run into your office. When she entered, she was holding a book, saying that you had left something behind and she wanted to return it to you. When she came out, the book was still in her arms. I don't know what she wanted to do in your office. I think you should lock your office later."
Ma Fengcheng said this, motioning Jiang Sui to raise his head and look forward.
Under a big tree about ten meters away, Liu Mei was surrounded by several students, who were talking and laughing, but no one knew what they were talking about.
As if she felt the gaze coming from this side, Liu Mei, who was talking to a student, looked up. The moment her eyes met Jiang Sui's, Liu Mei immediately smiled gently and with a hint of sweetness, and nodded politely.
After she lowered her head again because of the students' pulling, Ma Fengcheng snorted twice: "I told you, Liu Mei must be interested in you. Her attitude towards you is very different."
"Is there?"
Jiang Sui replied calmly, without much reaction on his face.
What Ma Fengcheng didn't know was that Jiang Sui quickly recalled in his mind everything Liu Mei had done before.
If I remember correctly, Xiang Baiwei doesn't seem to be in contact with Liu Mei as frequently as before.
Ma Fengcheng, who was standing next to him, thought Jiang Sui didn't believe him, so he moved closer again, lowered his voice, and talked a lot.
It was nothing more than a series of different treatments such as how gentle Liu Mei was in front of him, how nice her voice was, how polite she was to others, etc.
Jiang Sui, who had never paid much attention to Liu Mei, naturally could not react to what Ma Fengcheng said.
But Ma Fengcheng's words were not in vain. At least Jiang Sui became more wary of Liu Mei.
Under the tree, after Liu Mei answered questions from a few children, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Sui entering the office and her heart began to beat fast.
She put a love letter in Jiang Sui's book. It was almost noon now. Jiang Sui had no classes on Wednesday afternoon, so he would take his books and other things home at noon and then go to the machinery factory or workshop to help.
If the book was at home, Xiang Baiwei would have seen it.
In today's book, there is a big gift for her.
Liu Mei was extremely looking forward to seeing what Xiang Baiwei's reaction would be when she saw the letter.
No normal person would be willing to tolerate the person next to him or her having an affair with someone of the opposite sex.
Liu Mei thought she understood Xiang Baiwei's temper quite well.
She would definitely make a big deal out of this matter. As long as it became a big deal, there would definitely be a rift between her and Jiang Sui, and the rift would be where she would make trouble in the future.
Liu Mei stood under the tree feeling nervous, looking towards the office from time to time.
There was someone standing by the office window, and she couldn't see clearly what Jiang Sui was doing inside. Just as she was hesitating whether to find an excuse to get closer to take a look at the specific contents, Jiang Sui came out with the book where he had put something.
He gave the book to another teacher. They talked about something and the teacher took the book and left. At first glance, it seemed that the teacher had asked him to borrow the book.
Liu Mei was shocked.
This book...can never be loaned out.
She quickly pushed aside the student in front of her, her face calm, but she hurriedly caught up with the teacher: "Teacher Chen, can you lend me this book? I'll return it to you later."
When Teacher Chen saw Liu Mei, he readily gave her the book: "Hurry up, I need it for my afternoon class. But what are you doing with this book? It seems like we don't teach the same grade."
"It's not me who wants to borrow it, it's someone who wants to borrow it. He doesn't have time to come here, and I don't know what he's going to do with it. It will probably take about ten minutes to return it to you. I will definitely send it to you before school is over at noon. Is that ok?"
Liu Mei had said so, so Teacher Chen, as a colleague, naturally felt embarrassed to refuse her: "Okay, then you have the book."
After getting the book, Liu Mei hurriedly ran to another office to find Zhang Wangming there.
Zhang Wangming, who knew nothing, saw Liu Mei running in and spoke very politely: "What's wrong, Teacher Liu?"
There were other people in the office. Liu Mei gave him a strange look, then secretly pointed at the book in her hand with the finger of her other hand.
Zhang Wangming, who didn't understand what was going on, quickly borrowed the book at her suggestion: "Oh, you helped me borrow this book, thank you so much."
Another teacher who was sitting nearby happened to have nothing to do, so he came over to ask, "What book is that? It sounds like it's hard to borrow!"
When the teacher saw that it was a textbook, he looked very puzzled: "I have this book! Why don't you ask me to borrow it?"
Zhang Wangming cursed Liu Mei in his heart, not knowing what she was up to, but he had to help her clean up the mess: "So you have it too. I heard someone say that few people in our school have this book. Teacher Liu happened to be there at the time, so she asked me to find it for her. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered her."
The teacher smiled and said, "It's okay. It's good that we can find it now. As long as it doesn't delay your work, everything else is fine. Oh, I have to go to class. I have to go quickly."
When no one else was in the office, Zhang Wangming patted the book with a half-smile and said, "Tell me, what's in it?"
