Liu Mei's careful idea of ​​retreating in order to advance could not be hidden from Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui patted the handlebars again and looked back.

I was in a hurry to go home, so I rode faster, but judging from the speed of the remaining few people... they should be catching up with me soon.

So, Jiang Sui planned to delay time and wait for the villagers behind him.

"What should I do? My car is running low on gas, so I'm afraid it won't be possible to take you with me."

Jiang Sui's tone was very awkward. He lowered his head and glanced at Liu Mei's foot. "Is your foot seriously injured? I noticed that your walking posture is very strange. Do you want me to send you to the health center later? It would be bad if your bones were injured."

"It's definitely not a broken bone, it's just a slight twist, it's not serious, don't worry. The most troublesome thing now is that this place is a bit too far from where I live. I'm a little worried about how to get there. I'm mainly afraid that if I walk there, the injury will get worse, and it would be bad if I miss tomorrow's class."

Liu Mei said this, pretending that she couldn't hold on and held on to Jiang Sui's bicycle.

Jiang Sui moved aside unnoticeably so that when the villagers caught up with them, they would not think that they were standing close to each other.

His marriage was in jeopardy and he could not tolerate any suspicion.

Liu Mei, who was concentrating on thinking of an excuse to force Jiang Sui to agree to take her home, did not notice Jiang Sui's little action.

About five minutes passed.

Seeing that Jiang Sui still didn't say anything, Liu Mei couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

What is going on?

How could Jiang Sui sit still? It was already so dark, why was he still delaying? At this time, the sound of a few men riding bicycles and laughing could be heard in the distance.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Sui and Liu Mei were both delighted.

But Jiang Sui was happy that reinforcements finally arrived, while Liu Mei was happy that her private contact with Jiang Sui was seen by others.

Less than a minute after the sound appeared, the four or five villagers who had gone to the town with Jiang Sui during the day came up on their bikes.

Jiang Sui held the car with one hand, took a step to the right, and stretched out his arm to stop the four or five people who were coming over.

The person in the front noticed that it was Jiang Sui and stopped the car immediately: "Principal Jiang? What's wrong?"

Before he finished speaking, he spotted Liu Mei standing opposite Jiang Sui.

Liu Mei was about to say something in her favor when Jiang Sui immediately took the lead: "Teacher Liu's foot seems to be injured. My car can't take anyone, so I'm waiting here for a while to see if anyone's car is still running and can help take her back to where she lives."

In a village, strictly speaking, Liu Mei lives not too far from here.

As soon as Jiang Sui opened his mouth, someone agreed: "Let me do it. My car is fully gassed, and I have nothing else to do. Principal Jiang, aren't you in a hurry to go home? Leave Teacher Liu's matter to me."

Liu Mei was anxious and was about to refuse, but Jiang Sui, who was standing opposite her, did not give her the chance at all: "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Liu. They are all kind-hearted. Don't be embarrassed. Let them take you back. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

After saying that, Jiang Sui nodded politely to the people behind him, stepped onto the bike, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liu Mei, who had come to nothing, turned off the flashlight in her hand, got into the villager's car reluctantly, sat in the back without saying a word, and followed them to their residence.

Jiang Sui, who had already disappeared on his bike, couldn't help laughing out loud when he was almost home.

He felt the hope of winning Xiang Baiwei back.

Based on his daily observations and tests, Xiang Baiwei did not have a good impression of Liu Mei.

And his intuition told him that what he had done tonight had successfully avoided a huge risk.

This made Jiang Sui so happy that he still had a smile on his face when he pushed the cart into the yard.

After locking the door, Xiang Baiwei turned her head and saw the smile on his face under the light: "What are you laughing at? Did you find money?"

"I didn't find any money, but I finally got home. Isn't it okay for me to be happy?"

Jiang Sui couldn't help but spoke sweetly once again.

Xiang Baiwei particularly disliked the tone he used in front of her: "Please tone down your slick talk. You are still a role model for the principal. How can a principal behave like this?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong," Jiang Sui admitted his mistake very quickly. "Weiwei, let me tell you, I was chatting with the director of the machinery factory today, and he said that I helped their factory meet the production target ahead of schedule, and he would give me a bonus. I plan to use the bonus to buy you some cloth to make clothes."

"You're exaggerating!" Xiang Baiwei couldn't help laughing. When she walked past Jiang Sui, she suddenly smelled the alcohol on him. "How much did you drink today? I happen to have a small jar of honey at home. Would you like a glass of honey water?"

"Okay, I just felt sick from drinking. The only people at the table were the director and the deputy director. I had to give them face, so I had to bite the bullet and drink. I guess I drank less than a pound of baijiu."

Jiang Sui's alcohol tolerance is actually quite good, but in front of Xiang Baiwei, he doesn't mind showing weakness.

"My head still hurts."

As he spoke, Jiang Sui supported his forehead with his hand and sat at the table feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Xiang Baiwei wanted to teach him a lesson and tell him not to drink so much in the future, but she swallowed the words back and turned around to go to the kitchen to make him some honey water.

Jiang Sui was very disappointed that he didn't get taught a lesson.

Xiang Baiwei didn't teach me a lesson. Did it mean that I wasn't important enough in her heart? If Xiang Baiwei cared about me enough, she would definitely tell me not to drink so much.

Unfortunately not.

"Half cold water and half hot water, specially mixed and ready to drink."

Xiang Baiwei placed a large porcelain bowl in front of him, which was filled with honey water.

Jiang Sui smiled helplessly: "You have such a big bowl of water, are you feeding it to cows or giving it to people to drink?"

"What are you talking about? How can a cow be so lucky as to drink honey water? Drink it quickly, wash your face, clean up and go to bed. You still have to raise the national flag at school tomorrow morning. Go to bed early, otherwise you will look ugly tomorrow."

Jiang Sui nodded, feeling particularly pleased: "Okay."

Liu Mei was supported by someone and walked into the courtyard.

Xu Xiuxiu, who was collecting clothes in the yard, noticed that there was something wrong with her walking posture and ran over to ask what was going on.

Liu Mei was in a bad mood and had no time to pay attention to her. Concerned about her image, she politely thanked the villagers who had sent her back, watched them walk away, then turned around and walked quickly into the house.

Xu Xiuxiu, who was standing behind him, was a little confused: "Liu Mei, I saw you walking very unsteadily just now, how come you are fine now? Is your foot okay?"
