Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Wen Tang nodded, "I knew it!"

As she spoke, her eyes darted around, "To be honest, I don't think that Manman is a good person."

Su Xiuxiu was amused by her appearance. "To be honest, Manman is the most popular person in our group."

Wen Tang covered her mouth, "Then I won't say that again."

Su Xiuxiu was overjoyed. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

She scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, feeling the coolness in her mouth, and said, "To be honest, many times, many of the things Manman says and does make me very uncomfortable."

"But I can't say anything yet, because she always says it's for my own good. If I react too strongly, it will seem like I don't appreciate her kindness."

"Like today, it was a small thing. I didn't want to get entangled with you at the hospital, but she ignored me and insisted on seeking justice for me. Even though I don't need that kind of justice, I can't blame her afterwards, otherwise I'd be ungrateful."

"Do you know what she calls this?" Wen Tang asked, biting her spoon.

"Ok?"

"PUA!"

"what?"

“Brainwashing, brainwashing,” Wen Tang quickly corrected herself.

But Su Xiuxiu still didn't quite understand.

"It's about using verbal suggestion to control your thoughts."

"At first you might just feel uncomfortable, but if she keeps saying 'I'm doing this for your own good,' you'll start to doubt yourself and feel like you're not appreciating her kindness."

Su Xiuxiu immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, the more she talks, the more I reflect on myself."

Wen Tang winked at her and said, "I have a brilliant idea for you."

Su Xiuxiu listened attentively.

Wen Tang then offered words of self-reflection: "Examine yourself three times a day. Was I too polite? Did I give him too much face? Should I have taken action?"

“And another thing,” Wen Tang took a sip of coffee and continued, “ask yourself why less, and ask others why more.”

"Don't be afraid of what others say about you behind your back. If one person says something bad about me, it's that person's fault. But if a group of people say something bad about me, then they must have planned it together."

"Furthermore, instead of reflecting on oneself, one should blame others."

Wen Tang's matter-of-fact words made Su Xiuxiu's eyes widen.

Wen Tang patted her shoulder across the table, "As a person, you should be strict with others and lenient with yourself!"

Su Xiuxiu wanted to say that you seem to have misspoken, because the original version is: Be strict with yourself and lenient with others.

But judging from Wen Tang's expression, it was clear that this was the version Wen Tang had in mind.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying, "I examine myself three times a day: Am I being too polite? Am I giving him too much face? Should I have taken action?"

Wen Tang withdrew her hand and began to eat the small cake. "Eat, eat until you're full, and then I'll forgive the whole world."

Su Xiuxiu "..."

But listening to Wen Tang's words...it really felt good!

“Okay, next time you won’t reflect on yourself and will blame others more,” she said, picking up her coffee.

Wen Tang, in perfect unison, clinked glasses with her and said, "Cheers!"

After finishing the cake, coffee, and ice cream, Wen Tang packed another portion before parting ways with Su Xiuxiu.

Su Xiuxiu returned to the cultural troupe; she returned to the military family compound.

Carrying the small cake, Wen Tang happily went home.

Thinking that she would be coming to collect the remaining 1,900 yuan tomorrow, Wen Tang felt she should pack two more small cakes.

The little cakes are delicious; she loves them.

Strawberry, mango, chocolate, and even matcha flavors—she can eat them all cleanly.

When Wen Tang finally made it back, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was setting.

Wen Tang had just washed her hands and face when Gu Yanli returned.

Looking at the small cakes on the table, and then at Gu Yanli, she didn't even have time to dispose of the stolen goods.

"husband?"

"You're back?"

Her smiling eyes and curved eyebrows were captivating.

Then she took small steps to the table, pointed to the small cakes on it, and said, "Honey, these are the small cakes I bought for you. Do you like them?"

Gu Yanli followed her to the table; he wasn't particularly fond of sweets.

But you could tell from Wen Tang's expression that she liked it very much.

So Gu Yanli decided to tease him, "Did you bring this for me?"

"Mmm!" Wen Tang nodded with a smile.

"My wife is so good to me, I was just hungry."

Wen Tang: Sigh, I should have bought two. Although I spent a bit too much today.

How can the food that pretty young girls love be considered consumption?

Gu Yanli picked up a fork and scooped out a piece.

Wen Tang's eyes followed the cake on the fork.

At last……

The silky, sweet cake filled her mouth, and Wen Tang's eyes lit up. She mumbled, "Why did you hurt me?"

Gu Yanli: ? ? ?

Did he really see it wrong?

This girl isn't that greedy for such a small cake?

And they misunderstood; the cake was actually meant for him to eat?

But Wen Tang quickly said, "You've made me like you so much."

"Waaah, I like you even more today than I did yesterday."

Gu Yanli: That really gave me a fright.

Although Wen Tang really wanted the cake, she and Gu Yanli ate it together, taking turns eating it.

Even the things that Wen Tang accidentally dropped on her were eaten by Gu Yanli.

Wen Tang woke up at eight o'clock and hurriedly got up, washed up, grabbed her bag and rushed to catch the bus.

We finally managed to eat something to fill our stomachs once we got to the city.

After we finished eating, it was already past ten o'clock.

Fortunately, she had arranged to meet Feng Jiao quite late yesterday, so she still had plenty of time.

Wen Tang strolled around and bought some fruit before heading to the hospital.

I arrived at the same place half an hour early.

Just as Wen Tang was getting sleepy, Feng Jiao arrived carrying a thermos lunchbox.

There was another person with her today.

This person looked older than Feng Jiao, but judging from their appearances, the age difference between them was no more than ten years.

The two have about 60% similar facial features.

Wen Tang guessed that the two must be sisters.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party is Feng Jiao's aunt or great-aunt.

Many girls look like their aunts or great-aunts, and in terms of age, this can be quite significant.

Therefore, Wen Tang decided to keep her mouth shut and not say anything carelessly.

When Wen Tang saw Feng Jiao, he quickly stood up.

Upon seeing Wen Tang, Feng Jiao smiled at the person beside her and said, "Look, that's the girl I told you about, the one who sold me He Shou Wu."

"I must say, she is indeed a very pretty girl, and she looks very pure," Feng Wei said with a smile beside her.

Then he tugged at his handbag and asked Feng Jiao, "Is it safe to give her all this money later?"

Feng Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Let's ask her. If that doesn't work, let the guard take her back."

"Her husband is also in the military."

"Yes, he's under my brother-in-law's management. I think his surname is Gu, and his name is Yan Li."

Feng Wei exclaimed in surprise, "What a coincidence!"

She looked down at the money in her hand and said, "If you hadn't asked me to bring this money, I would have suspected that she was after our family."

Feng Jiao shook her head. "No, she's a very innocent girl. When she came into Dad's ward yesterday, she was incredibly well-behaved. I was in the inner room, and she sat in the outer room like a child who had done something wrong, timid and hesitant, not looking around at all."
