Xu Xiuxiu was unable to go to the market with her because she had something to do, but she told Liu Mei yesterday to bring back a small bag of peach cakes for her when she went to town.

Liu Mei remembered this, so she rushed to deliver the gift to her as soon as she came back.

Xu Xiuxiu, who hadn't eaten it for a long time and had been craving for it for a long time, took the peach cake and immediately opened it and started eating. After eating a few bites, she remembered something, looked around, and approached Liu Mei, saying mysteriously: "I heard that Principal Jiang is sick."

"Who did you say is sick?" Liu Mei's face changed immediately, "Jiang Sui? What happened? Tell me in detail."

"I don't know the details. In the morning, I saw Xiang Baiwei riding a bicycle and bringing Doctor Chen from the clinic to their home. Doctor Chen stayed for a long time before leaving. Later, I heard people chatting and saying that Principal Jiang was sick. If you want to know the details, you can go to the clinic and ask Doctor Chen."

After hearing this, Liu Mei immediately put down the half-eaten peach cake in her hand and said, "I'll go see what's going on."

Xu Xiuxiu curiously held her hand and said, "No, are you going directly to Principal Jiang's house?"

"No, I'll go to the health center first and find out the situation."

Ten minutes later, Doctor Chen, who was taking a nap and had nothing to do, looked up and saw Liu Mei. He greeted her with a smile: "Isn't this Teacher Liu? You're here."

Liu Mei smiled at him and said, "I have had a bit of indigestion these past two days. I would like to get some digestive medicine."

"No problem, I'll get it for you right away."

Doctor Chen stood up and went to the back to get medicine for her.

Liu Mei stood there waiting. After getting the medicine, she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she chatted with Dr. Chen about the recent weather.

As they chatted, Doctor Chen was successfully led into her trap: "You young people from the city are still a little weak in physical fitness. It's been very cold at night recently, so you must make sure to cover yourself with a blanket. I just went to Principal Jiang's house this morning to see him. He caught a cold and had a very high fever, but he got better after a small injection. Anyway, you have to be careful in your daily life."

"Okay, you have to pay attention. Doctor Chen, please continue with your work. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Liu Mei left the clinic with a smile on her face.

After leaving, she ran to the agency store, bought two pounds of eggs and a can of malt extract, and went straight to Jiang Sui's home.

In the bedroom, Jiang Sui was sitting alone, feeling bored, so he called Xiang Baiwei to the kang and asked her to read to him.

Xiang Baiwei understood that he was a patient, so she didn't argue with him and just did what he wanted.

But when Xiang Baiwei really started reading to him, Jiang Sui couldn't help but deliberately make trouble.

After several times, Xiang Baiwei became a little anxious. She put down the book and looked at Jiang Sui with a stern face: "What do you want to do?"

"No, I just feel that the sentence you just read... the emotions, yes, the emotions are not full enough, which is not conducive to your memory. Why don't you read it again?"

Jiang Sui looked at Bai Wei, who was on the verge of getting angry, and quickly made up an excuse to explain.

Xiang Baiwei sneered: "You have so many things to do. If you weren't a patient now, I would have punched you."

"It's okay. I'm strong. You can hit me if you want." Jiang Sui patted his chest proudly and said, "Hit me here and you'll calm down."

"You really are such a person," Xiang Baiwei made him laugh in anger, punching the quilt, "You are neither this nor that, you don't look like a teacher at all."

"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you anyway," Xiang Baiwei was too lazy to argue with him any further, "So do you still want to listen to me read? If you do, I'll continue reading, if not, I'll shut up."

"Of course I will. Keep reading." Jiang Sui didn't want to miss any opportunity to get closer to her. "In fact, I think you acted very well. Your pronunciation is standard and fluent. It's really a pleasure to listen to you read."

"Stop flattering me. I won't fall for it." Xiang Baiwei retorted to him mercilessly, opened the book, and continued reading from where she had just been reading.

As a result, after he had just read a few sentences, the big dog in the yard suddenly started barking.

"Someone is coming. You sit down first. I'll go see who it is." Xiang Baiwei threw the book into Jiang Sui's arms and trotted outside to open the door.

"Who is it?" Xiang Baiwei asked as she ran towards the door.

Liu Mei, who was standing at the door carrying something, opened her mouth but didn't respond.

The person who came to open the door was Xiang Baiwei. She was afraid that the other party would know her identity as soon as she opened her mouth, so she did not open the door.

Xiang Baiwei was a spoiled child at home, so she was definitely capable of doing something like this.

So Liu Mei stood silently at the door, waiting for her to open the door and then discover herself.

By that time, she won't be able to shut herself out.

Xiang Baiwei who was inside the door was also very puzzled. Who was outside? Why did no one answer after she shouted for such a long time?

Xiang Baiwei understood immediately after opening the door. She looked at what Liu Mei was holding and smiled meaningfully, "No one comes here for no reason. What are you doing here?"

Liu Mei didn't want to pay attention to her and wanted to push the door open and rush in, but Xiang Baiwei had guessed what she would do in advance and held the door frame tightly with both hands: "Let me ask you, what do you want to do?"

As the two were confronting each other, several villagers suddenly walked by and asked, "What are you two doing standing here?"

"You can't even tell. One of you is carrying a gift and wants to go in, while the other one is trying to stop you and doesn't want to accept it. If I were to say that neither of you wants it, then just give me the eggs and malt extract. I haven't eaten these two for a long time."

As he said this, all the villagers burst into laughter.

Liu Mei looked at Xiang Baiwei who was secretly trying not to let her in and said, "If you try to stop me again, I will embarrass you in front of the villagers."

"If I don't stop you, you'll be embarrassed in front of Jiang Sui." Xiang Baiwei deliberately poked her in the spot she cared about the most. "You're an intellectual, but you have to rush to hook up with a married man. Aren't you ashamed? What do you think of your face?"

Liu Mei was embarrassed, but she didn't show it on her face: "I just came to visit Principal Jiang in the name of a friend. Can you please stop thinking about those dirty thoughts in your head? You are so jealous, so will he not be able to be your friend anymore?"

Yes, it’s this tone, this condescending attitude.

In her previous life, Liu Mei had spoken to her in this tone more than once. Later, Liu Mei instigated many people around Jiang Sui, causing Jiang Sui's friends to think that Xiang Baiwei was a jealous, suspicious, and stupid woman with dirty thoughts in her head.

"Okay, you're so good at sweet talk that I can't beat you. Then come in and let's see for ourselves whether Jiang Sui really likes you, his so-called friend."
