A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Chapter 112 Open and covert struggles all over jealousy

Some say the best way to deal with a man is to find a woman; and the best way to deal with a woman is to find another woman.

This is probably what is known as fighting poison with poison.

When Su Man'er and Peng Liangpei met, both wore polite smiles, but their thoughts were churning inside.

This is bad. This woman is so beautiful, and she lives under the same roof as Gu Feng. Sooner or later, she'll have the advantage of proximity.

Peng Jingpei's naturally sensitive nerves tightened immediately—Su Man'er was dangerous and could very well threaten this first serious relationship she had ever planned to have.

Su Man'er felt a deep sadness in her heart.

By her standards, Peng Liangpei was prettier than her, and since she and Gu Feng were deskmates, spending so much time together, it was hard to guarantee that nothing wouldn't happen. How could she nip this conspiracy in the bud?

The two women, each with their own thoughts, occasionally met each other's eyes, then gave each other a fake smile.

"Liangpei, you look familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?" Su Man'er broke the silence first.

"Yes, sister, have you forgotten?" Peng Liangpei replied.

"When? I really can't remember." Su Man'er looked puzzled.

"You're always busy hooking up with rich guys, of course you're forgetful." Peng Liangpei thought to herself, but smiled politely on her face: "That day on the bus, you forgot?"

"Ah? You're that girl from that day? No wonder you looked familiar when I saw you." Su Man'er was both surprised and delighted, but in reality, she was only surprised, not delighted.

She was there that day too. Although she always believed that Gu Feng's actions that day were purely meddling, that was just self-deception, and the fact that he saved the damsel in distress could not be erased.

With this incident as a foundation, and now that they're in the same class, and Gu Feng is so devastatingly handsome—it's easy for them to become a pair of adulterers.

I need to be more careful around this woman from now on, and I should keep a close eye on Gu Feng in my bed from time to time.

Once they arrived on Portland Street, Su Man'er and Peng Liangpei, who usually had little in common, finally found something in common – shopping.

This is probably just a woman's nature. When women go shopping, they seem to have endless energy and never get tired.

There's nothing in the shopping mall that a woman isn't interested in.

Whether expensive or cheap, inexpensive or attractive, useful or useless, they want to look at, touch, ask about, and try everything. If an item piques their interest, it's common for them to spend most of the day on it.

Fortunately, the two of them still retained some sense of reason. They knew that a group of grown men were waiting for them to come home and have dinner, so they only shopped for a little over an hour before heading straight into the supermarket.

When it comes to grocery shopping, Peng Liangpei's IQ of 100 and undergraduate education are completely useless.

Seeing Su Man'er picking and choosing with ease, she felt resentful and simply grabbed whatever looked good, throwing it into her shopping cart regardless of whether it was edible or tasty.

Su Man'er saw that she was acting recklessly, but did not scold her. She just smiled and remained silent.

Without her ignorance, how could her shrewdness be highlighted?

"Sister, the leaves of these vegetables you picked are all yellow. Why didn't you pick the green ones? Look at this bunch I picked, it's so fresh." Peng Liangpei held up a bunch of vegetables.

"Hehe, it's different." Su Man'er didn't argue, but insisted on putting the bunch of yellowed vegetables into the car.

"How can they be the same?" Peng Jingpei asked seriously, taking the yellow bunch out and putting it back on the shelf, then placing her own green bunch inside. She smugly thought to herself: "Old hag, hurry up and step down. Everyone prefers my fresh, tender little grass."

With a smug look still on her face, she couldn't resist teasing, "Sister, although vegetables aren't meant to be eaten raw, and they're all the same once cooked, fresher is always better."

That makes so much sense. While it's true that all women look the same with the lights off, can you really say the same thing if a woman is old, sallow-faced, wrinkled, has body odor, tetracycline-stained teeth, and bad breath?

You little vixen, you think you're so great?

Su Man'er finally got a little angry, cursing inwardly, but still smiling gently on her face: "Sister, you don't know this. The bunch you're holding is chives, which have a chewy texture and take a long time to release their flavor. The one I'm holding is called yellow chives. It's also chives, but it hasn't been exposed to sunlight since it sprouted, so it looks yellow. However, it's crisper, sweeter, and tastes better than regular chives, and its nutritional value is almost the same. If you want to buy regular chives, you'd really be better off buying yellow chives."

Su Man'er's long speech was actually quite simple: Don't be fooled by your youthful appearance; youthfulness is just a euphemism for immaturity. Older men might like your type, but strong, muscular men—especially young, virile men like Gu Feng—prefer someone like me who is mature, stable, and poised.

Peng Liangpei blushed. She only knew how to eat; she didn't know the difference between leeks and yellow leeks. But she clearly heard the veiled barb in Su Man'er's words.

Seeing that the college students were blushing from her words, Su Man'er became even more boastful: "Chives are very nutritious. In addition to protein, fat, and carbohydrates, they also contain carotene and vitamin C, plus many minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron."

"Is that so?" Peng Jingpei was somewhat ignorant; she only knew that chive dumplings were very fragrant.

When Su Man'er started talking about chives, she spoke eloquently like an expert, leaving Peng Liangpei stunned and even attracting the attention of shoppers on both sides.

"Furthermore, chives, also known as 'yang-raising grass,' belong to the lily family and are perennial herbaceous plants. They have the effects of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, consolidating essence and nourishing the body. They are a kind of invigorating and strengthening medicine, and can be called the 'Viagra' of vegetables. They are especially effective for men."

"This..." Peng Jingpei was completely unable to keep up with her leaping thoughts. Wasn't she talking about leeks? How did it suddenly turn into talking about aphrodisiacs?

"Liangpei, do you know? Gu Feng loves eating leek sprouts the most. He can't live without them." Su Man'er casually mentioned.

"Is...really?" Peng Jingpei blushed even more. Eating so much of this stuff, his abilities...wouldn't they be as terrifying as a wild boar?

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Su Man'er glanced at her, then pretended to be deep in thought. "But, I think he's so young and full of vigor, even if he doesn't eat, it's perfectly fine for him."

"What if we ate it? Wouldn't that be even more amazing?" Su Man'er added quietly at the end.

"Sister, please stop..." Peng Jingpei's face was flushed red, and she tugged at Su Man'er's sleeve, pleading in a low voice. The gazes from those around them had already taken on a completely different meaning; if they were allowed to continue, others would probably think they were all monsters.

Su Man'er also noticed the gazes of those around her, and her face flushed as well.

This method of winning is really bad; it hurts the enemy 800 but also inflicts 1000 damage on yourself.

The two had just pushed their shopping cart away from the vegetable shelf when, in the blink of an eye, all the chives, leek sprouts, and even chive blossoms on the shelf were miraculously snatched up.

Passing by the scallion, ginger, and garlic stall, Su Man'er casually picked up a few cloves of garlic.

"Sister, do you like garlic?" Peng Jingpei asked tentatively. If it's true, she'd better stay away from it in the future to avoid getting hurt by its smell.

"I don't like it." Su Man'er shook her head, but her hands didn't stop; she put several more pieces into the car. Meeting Peng Liangpei's puzzled look, she smiled and said, "Although I don't like it, Gu Feng loves to eat it."

Peng Jingpei's expression changed slightly. She really hadn't expected Gu Feng to have this kind of hobby.

"Hehe, a lot of people can't stand garlic, they complain about the bad breath it leaves behind." Su Man'er chuckled, then continued her leisurely conversation, "But I've done my research, and garlic is actually a great thing. It can boost your energy. The creatine in garlic is an important component involved in muscle activity; the allicin in it combines with vitamin B1 to produce thiamine, which can eliminate fatigue, enhance physical strength, promote metabolism, and also lower cholesterol, blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar..."

Peng Jingpei's eyes were getting wider and wider.

"Liangpei, garlic is really good. Not only does it kill bacteria, but most importantly—like leeks, it also has aphrodisiac properties." Su Man'er's tone was casual, as if she were stating a very common piece of scientific knowledge. "It's well-documented that garlic can stimulate the secretion of male hormones. For men diagnosed with oligospermia, eating one or two cloves a day, only once a day, for two or three months, will result in a significant increase in sperm count when they go to the hospital for a checkup."

Peng Liangpei was once again dumbfounded.

If that's the case, then she'll have to encourage Gu Feng to eat more garlic in the future.

At worst, I'll just carry two boxes of chewing gum with me.

So, as soon as the two of them left, more than half of the garlic on the garlic stand disappeared.

The two strolled around and ended up at the cilantro stall.

Su Man'er picked up a small bunch of cilantro, about to speak, when Peng Liangpei interrupted, "Sister, you don't need to say anything. I know you're going to say again that cilantro can also... you know, have aphrodisiac properties, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Su Man'er shook her head and casually put the bunch of vegetables back on the shelf: "No. Don't be fooled by how fresh and tender these vegetables look, like they were just pulled from the ground, and how delicious they are. But you don't know—these vegetables kill sperm, which is bad for men. We're not buying them."

After saying that, she pushed the cart and walked away leisurely, leaving Peng Liangpei standing there in a daze, looking depressed.
