With Mei Mengzhen's injury came a flood of gossip and rumors.
Just like that injured girl in her previous life, at first all the talk was about pitying the girl who got hurt. But as the rumors kept spreading, they twisted and got out of hand—soon the whole senior year knew about it.
And in those days when the rumors were at their peak, Mei Mengzhen had no clue, she was fully focused on resting at home and growing vegetables. When she finally returned to school, well, hoo boy—but that's for later.
Right now, Mei Mengzhen was still lying in the School Infirmary, waiting for Dr. Chen to come back after lunch and check her tongue.
She'd replaced the cotton wool in her mouth twice, and finally the bleeding on her tongue had more or less stopped. Dr. Chen gave Mei Mengzhen two painkillers. "You take one a day. I'm worried your tongue will really hurt after eating. Two pills should be just about enough," he said—any more, the School Infirmary couldn't really hand out.
