Chapter 100: Fang Qing's Allergy
  Seeing the boss and Tang Xiaoyu about to fight, Fang Qing quickly pulled Tang Xiaoyu aside and placed her behind him.

  "Excuse me, boss. My sister is young and doesn't know how to speak. She just had an argument with me and was angry, so she was rude. I apologize, but please don't take it personally."

  Seeing Fang Qing's sincere apology, the boss waved his fan, snorted, and turned away.

  Fang Qing felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and immediately paid for the boss to pick out some more peaches, preparing to send some to Wen Ning as well.

  Hearing that the girl was buying so many, the boss perked up and smiled. "Okay, okay, don't worry, girl. Enjoy our peaches! They get sweeter and sweeter with age. I guarantee you'll want more after one..."

  Fearing Fang Qing wouldn't be satisfied, the boss found a sturdy new bamboo basket, lined it with leaves, and then picked out the large, firm peaches to put into the basket.

  Seeing Fang Qing's large purchase, the classmates nearby were envious. "Fang Qing, I didn't realize you were so wealthy!"

  Fang Qing smiled embarrassedly, "My family is giving them away as gifts. How could I afford to buy so many to eat..."

  Seeing her like this, Tang Xiaoyu, who was standing by, suddenly wanted to tease Fang Qing. She rolled her eyes and pretended to be intimate with her and moved closer.

  "Qingqing, I love eating peaches the most. Can you buy me a basket too? It's just right. I don't have enough money with me today."

  Fang Qing was stunned for a moment. She hadn't heard Tang Xiaoyu call her like that for a long time. She didn't react for a moment. Seeing Tang Xiaoyu looking at her expectantly, she couldn't say anything to refuse. She nodded, covering her nose, "Okay, then pick a basket yourself. I'll pay later."

  But Tang Xiaoyu took a look at the remaining peaches and shook her head dissatisfiedly. "The good ones have been picked. Qingqing, I want to go to the orchard to pick them..."

  Pick them now? Fang Qing was a little embarrassed. This orchard is the lifeblood of the fruit farmers. How could they bear to let people go in and pick them themselves?
  The proprietress beside them was also a down-to-earth person. Seeing that the two of them bought a lot and the little girl was pretty and cute, she softened her heart for a moment.

  "Girl, if you are not satisfied, I will take you to the garden to pick peaches. I will pick whichever one you like. Is that okay with you?"

  Tang Xiaoyu was happy. This was really great! She glanced at Fang Qing beside her, put her arm around her and acted coquettishly, "Qingqing, come with me. I can't pick it myself~"

  Fang Qing was about to explain that she was allergic to peaches, but seeing that Tang Xiaoyu was rarely close to her, she couldn't bear to reject her expectations at this time. Thinking that as long as she didn't take off her handkerchief, there should be no problem, she nodded and followed them into the garden.

  The peach orchard was much larger than she had imagined. The proprietress walked in front with a basket on her back. The two of them followed behind her for a long way before finally stopping.

  The proprietress pointed to the peach orchard behind her and explained with a smile, "The peaches here are the best. You two can choose. Pick the ones you like. If you don't like them, don't touch them."

  Tang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, her smile very cute and sweet. "Don't worry, boss, we won't waste the fruit." After that, she pulled Fang Qing and carried the basket into the orchard. As

  soon as Tang Xiaoyu entered the peach orchard, the sweet smile on her face disappeared. She let go of Fang Qing's hand and shook it. "Ouch, Qingqing, my arm seems to be cramping and I can't lift it. Can you help me pick peaches? Sorry, I don't mean to be lazy, I just stretched my arm..."

  Fang Qing felt a little uncomfortable as soon as she entered the peach orchard. She felt itchy all over her body, but she endured it without saying a word.

  Seeing Tang Xiaoyu asking her to pick peaches, she felt even more worried. But thinking that as long as she didn't breathe, she should be fine, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

  "Then tell me which one you want, and I'll pick it."

  Tang Xiaoyu shuttled through the orchard, looking at this one for a while, then disliking that one. In the end, if the boss lady hadn't reminded her that the bus was about to leave, she would have continued to toss and turn.

  After picking a basket of big peaches, Fang Qing endured the pain and itchiness in her fingers, mouth and nose, and quickly left the peach orchard. Then she hurried to the well nearby, rinsed her hands with cold water several times, and wiped her mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief. Only then did she feel much better.

  Tang Xiaoyu didn't know that Fang Qing was allergic to peaches. Seeing her behavior, she thought she was being pretentious. She crossed her arms and couldn't help rolling her eyes, "How long are you going to wash? Everyone is waiting for you!"

  Fang Qing hurriedly got up, took out the money to pay, shook off the water on her hands, and got on the bus with everyone.

  After the bus left, the boss and the other two looked at the money in their hands and were happy.

  "Hey, this girl is quite generous. Just now, that little girl dropped several fruits in the garden and complained that she was too young to take any. But the girl washing her hands actually gave her ten yuan more!"

  The boss was delighted. "This bus of students really bought a lot. They almost bought all the peaches we picked!"

  Then, looking at the departing car, he looked thoughtful. "Could that girl just now have an allergy? I saw that she looked like our eldest daughter, touching the peaches and then soaking them in water. I hope nothing happens. I just reminded her..."

  Fang Qing, sitting in the car, was already having an attack. She felt the pain and itchiness in her hands spreading to her arms and even her neck, causing her to scratch uncontrollably.

  Zhang Jiaqi, who was behind her, saw her squirming and thinking she was carsick. He patted her, and when Fang Qing turned around, he was startled.

  "Fang Qing, what's wrong with your face?"

  The students around him exclaimed, looking over. Fang Qing's once fair face was now covered in red and swollen patches, and she began to scratch anxiously.

  Zhang Liwen immediately understood that it was an allergy. She was allergic to pollen, so she always carried medicine with her. She immediately took out a few pills and asked Fang Qing to drink them.

  After drinking the medicine, Zhang Liwen asked Wang Nan to hold her hand until Fang Qing calmed down. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

  Wang Nan was startled, "What, what happened?"

  "It's probably an allergy." Zhang Liwen looked at Fang Qing sleeping, recalling everything that had happened during the trip. Fang Qing had started acting strangely since leaving the peach orchard. Could she be allergic to peaches?

  Zhang Liwen returned to her seat, ready to head back to school to warn her.

  Tang Xiaoyu, sitting nearby, was also startled by Fang Qing's behavior. She didn't understand what had gone wrong, but she was relieved to see Fang Qing quiet down.

  Thinking back to what Wang Nan and the others had just said, she frowned slightly. An allergy? What a joke! Fang Qing, with her tough skin and the ability to fight criminals and run a shop, how could she be allergic? Tsk, she must be upset that I had just ordered her to find peaches, so she's putting on an act for her!

  Tang Xiaoyu felt her suspicions were correct, and her disdain for Fang Qing's scheming grew even stronger. While it was satisfying to have her pick peaches, it was nothing compared to the humiliation of having her brother Ning taken away!
  So, when they returned to school, Tang Xiaoyu got out of the car, turned around, and smiled at Fang Qing as she unloaded her belongings.

  "Qingqing, I want some snacks. Please go shopping with me."
