Zhuang Nainai was worried that Si Zhengting was unconvinced by her lie and hurriedly added, "Right, the weather is changing and the seasonal flu is pretty bad. Besides, I get so tired whenever I am down with a fever."
Zhuang Nainai praised herself for her quick wit for coming up with the best excuse.
She then drooped her eyelids and feigned a look of fatigue. "My head feels so heavy, I want to go back to sleep."
She looked at Si Zhengting again with a look of concern. "But your mother…"
Si Zhengting looked at her and was convinced. "We will go another day, you have a good rest."
Zhuang Nainai nodded immediately and ducked into the blanket.
Si Zhengting turned and fished around in a drawer. He then handed her a thermometer. "Measure your temperature."
Zhuang Nainai was dumbstruck.
She stared at the thermometer, internally berating herself for claiming that she was running a fever.
