CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 57: FOUR PEOPLE AT ONE TABLE PERFORM A DRAMA

Sui Yi grumbled, "Plain boiled water with dry tea leaves doesn’t require any tea ceremonies, right..."

Jiang Yunxiu: "..."

Do you really have to be so honest? Can’t you let me compliment you a bit?

The female assistant couldn’t help but laugh at her boss’s frustrated expression.

This was the first time the boss had been put in his place!

Though feeling aggrieved, Jiang Yunxiu honestly informed that Elder Jiang’s condition had been stabilized by medication, and she was now sleeping peacefully.

Sui Yi felt relieved, not hiding the relaxed look on his face, and sincerely said to the two, "Thank you for tonight, it’s been troubling..."

"Who are we to each other... No need to be so formal. Go ahead and have a look... I’ll have some tea that you brewed ’casually’ in a bit~~"

It seemed that Dr. Jiang held some grudges regarding this.

--------

After checking inside the house, Sui Yi indeed saw Elder Jiang lying peacefully on the bed, surrounded by the distinctive smell of Western medicine.

With a slight frown, she carefully checked, making sure that the elder’s breathing was stable before exhaling in relief.

She was finally saved...

But if she could be saved this time, what about the next?

--------------

After stepping out of the house, Sui Yi witnessed an extremely bizarre scene in the kitchen.

At the dining table, the handsome and gentle Dr. Jiang smiled like a breath of spring, and the cool and aloof A seemed to be smiling too, the two exchanging words in a discordant but amicable manner.

However, the content of their conversation...

"How old are you this year, little friend A?"

"Eighteen... What about you, uncle?"

"Hey, I’m only twenty-six, little brother, you really love to joke... I’m not an uncle. By the way, how do you know Sui Yi? You two seem to get along well... "

"Me and her, it’s fate~~"

"Fate, huh~~ You youngsters don’t know what fate is~~ You should focus on your studies... Speaking of fate, my encounter with Sui Yi is real fate~~ The first time I met her, I saw her lying on the bed, unconscious, with blood... "

The female assistant was going crazy, for God’s sake, what kind of fate is that, you have such a heavy taste!

"....Hehe," A could only answer with a chuckle that was neither cold nor anything else.

"Hehehe," Jiang Yunxiu was laughing too...

And then, Sui Yi watched as the two of them faced each other, chuckling away~~

As soon as she sat down, the chuckling stopped.

There were five dishes on the table, all tempting in sight and smell.

Sui Yi was somewhat surprised, looking at A, "Where did you find so many dishes..."

"Don’t you think that’s a weird question to ask from your standpoint as the homeowner?" A glanced at her, then smiled at Jiang Yunxiu and the others, "I just made a few dishes, all Sui Yi’s favorites... Not sure if you’ll like them, by the way, this fish is really good, I caught it with Sui Yi~~"

Indeed, A’s words were true because these plates were prepared by Elder Jiang for Sui Yi, naturally her favorite dishes.

And the fish had indeed been caught together...

So Sui Yi didn’t argue, just slightly furrowed her brow.

"Oh... Hehehe~~" Jiang Yunxiu let out another eerie chuckle.

The female assistant felt the temperature drop, and the atmosphere grew even weirder, her inner turmoil raging, dammit, it wasn’t easy coming all the way to this mountain hollow!

Can’t you let people eat in peace!

Finally, the weird atmosphere ended with Sui Yi’s light utterance of "Let’s eat."

After the meal, the female assistant stood next to her boss, watching Sui Yi washing the dishes with A helping alongside...

Clearly, Sui Yi was a very cool and detached person, who after failing to persuade A once, just let him be, her attitude not at all **, taking things as they came, not sweating the small stuff. Yet under the evening light, in the narrow kitchen, the sight of a young man and woman washing dishes together looked pretty...

She caught the proud look in the handsome youth’s eyes as he glanced over at them.

Proud~~

It was like she could hear the sound of teeth grinding.

Soon after, she saw her boss pat the wall in frustration and storm off.

As aggrieved as a little housewife.

Had he had a handkerchief, he could have dabbed at his eyes and sobbed as he leaned on the wall to leave~~

At that moment, all the grievances of being dragged to the mountains on a weekend instantly smoothed over.

Ha, you have your day too!

--------

"I’m telling you, Sui Yi is truly driving me insane! She’s actually so close to that brat who hasn’t even grown a full beard yet! Going back to her hometown together, catching fish together, and even letting him cook a whole table of dishes, all her favorites! Damn it!"

"Are you bullying him because he can’t cook? Doesn’t mean he can’t learn, he just hasn’t learned yet. That kid’s showing off like he’s something~~ Damn!"

"Why, why! I’m also very close to Sui Yi, all right..."

Babble, babble, babble~~

It took quite a while for the voice to come through the phone.

"From a medical and physiological standpoint, by eighteen, the hair has indeed grown in completely. Your remarks make me seriously doubt your medical expertise... And besides, you’ve only met Sui Yi twice,"

The other party’s rational and indifferent tone really irked Jiang Yunxiu!

Dammit, who the hell do you think I’m worried for?

He let out a cold snort of laughter and curled his lips, saying icily, "Yeah, that’s true... At that age, their hormones are really raging. Any opposite-sex individual within ten meters can make them howl. And Sui Yi, he’s quite the looker... Oh, right now, that guy is squeezing into a tiny kitchen with Sui Yi to wash dishes~~ The kitchen is so cramped, they can hardly stand~~"

Dead silence came from the other end.

He continued with a laugh, "By the way, there aren’t many beds in Sui Yi’s house... I heard that the kid is going to stay the night~~"

Click, the phone was hung up.

The person on the other end hung up.

Ha, ha, ha!

Dr. Jiang continued to chuckle ominously.

The female assistant shivered again, creeped out, thinking, Mama, I want to go home~~.

Originally, Dr. Jiang had decided to return to the countryside and find a hotel to stay in after sorting out this matter, but seeing the current situation, he turned glib, and after a debate with A that could rival the Tokyo Trials in intensity, he dragged A out of Sui Yi’s house, and the two staggered off to ask Auntie Wang next door for lodging.

And the female assistant shared a room with Sui Yi.

Before going to bed, the female assistant tentatively said, "Sui Yi, don’t you think that... Big Boss Jiang seems particularly unhappy about you being with A..."

Sui Yi turned and looked at her, "...What are you trying to say?"

Her tone was gentle, her expression amiable, but the female assistant felt a shiver in her heart and shuddered, "I mean, I just think... have you noticed anything? Like, why he’s acting that way..."

Big Boss, I’m really going through fire and water for the task you assigned me; you must give me a raise when we get back! A raise!

Sui Yi was silent for a while before he hesitantly said, "You mean..."

The female assistant’s face was full of anticipation.

"He likes A?"

"!!!!"

"No wonder... I thought he looked at A so strangely, he seemed quite annoyed with me too, and he even insisted on sleeping with A~~"

When Sui Yi had this epiphany, her eyes were serene, shining like the moon, and it seemed as if the moonlight from outside had spilled into the cold depths of her eyes.

The female assistant didn’t know whether to cry or laugh herself into a faint in the bathroom because of her boss...

Torn, she also heard Sui Yi hesitantly say, "Should I let A go with him then? Would that be like throwing him into a pit of fire?"

Sui Yi was genuinely worried because it seemed like A didn’t have that kind of feeling for Jiang Yunxiu~~

"...."

"Forget it, it’s just for one night, we’ll talk about it tomorrow."

"...." One night, well, that can change a lot of things~~

In that moment, the female assistant was probably captivated by the beautiful, pure, and gracefully reserved girl in front of her, who could occasionally be so adorably clueless.

Well then, Big Boss and the cool dude, you guys should just sleep together. Such a nice girl, how could we let you guys corrupt her!

------------

The next morning, whether it was Sui Yi or the female assistant, or the two men squeezed into a bed in the next room, they were all woken up by the commotion in the village.

The female assistant rubbed her eyes and saw Sui Yi handing her a clean towel and other bathing supplies, "Song Zi, you go wash up first, I’ll make breakfast..."

Last night, this assistant who was initially somewhat dismissive of her had already warmly and proactively told Sui Yi her name, and while she was at it, filled her in on her hometown and family situation...

If Sui Yi hadn’t advised her to go to sleep early, the girl might have even divulged her measurements~~.

Song Zi nodded cheerfully, thanking her without showing the slightest irritation of being woken up early, her tenderness enough to vex Mother Song in the distant city.

However, Song Zi was also puzzled, a big scene was clearly happening outside in the village, it seemed there was even a fight, so why was Sui Yi so unperturbed, not taking the situation outside seriously?

Could it be she hadn’t heard? "Um, Sui Yi, it seems like outside... Aren’t you going to check it out?"

"No rush," Sui Yi smiled at her and stepped outside, ready to head to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Song Zi paused for a moment before exclaiming, "Such poise".

Delicious poached eggs, fresh and aromatic milk, a bowl of vegetable porridge, along with Sui Yi’s timely and just-right smile—although simple, it still left Song Zi feeling quite refreshed.

Just then, A and another person also entered, both looking beaten with puffy eyes.

Sui Yi glanced at them and asked indifferently, "Didn’t sleep well last night?"

"...." Isn’t that obvious!

Jiang Yunxiu snorted coldly, plopping down onto the chair, and took a sip of milk, "Well... how could two people sleep well together?"

"I suppose not..." Sui Yi glanced at them thoughtfully.

A faint smile played on her lips.

The meaning was quite profound~~(To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com).
