Chapter 21
A Rare Helplessness
The four young masters of the Shi family appeared at the entrance of the academy at the same time, causing quite a commotion. Especially Shi He, who was wearing a casual work suit with a vest on his upper body and a jacket tied around his waist. He was fashionable and casual, and he exuded a hint of sexy handsomeness, attracting many fans.
Before Shi Man reached the school gate, she heard everyone discussing.
“Come quickly, come quickly. Shi He is here!”
“Really?”
“It’s really at the school gate!”
“The president is here today! Ah! The president is really handsome.”
Why did these four come together today? Shi Man raised her eyebrows and thought. In order not to cause a traffic jam at the entrance of the academy, Shi Man quickened her pace and arrived at the school gate.
“Xiao Man!” Shi He was the first to see her. He took off his sunglasses and waved at her.
Shi Man walked to the four of them. “Brother, why are you all here?”
“You’re still talking!” Shi Mu tapped the tip of Shi Man’s nose dotingly. “Are you not supposed to know how to drive? Why didn’t you say anything before driving to school alone today!”
Shi Man was a little embarrassed to be treated like this by Shi Mu. After all, Shi Mu was only 18 years old this year, even younger than she was. Touching the tip of her nose, Shi Man smiled slyly and said coquettishly, “Hehe, in the past, I wanted my brothers to send me off more, so I pretended that I didn’t know how to drive. But after this incident, I feel that I still have to grow up.”
Shi Man’s sudden maturity caught her brothers off guard, and they felt mixed emotions in their hearts. On the one hand, they were relieved that their sister had grown up and become sensible, but on the other hand, they were filled with heartache and pity for her.
“Xiao Man, you can always be insensible in front of your brothers and be a child forever. Do you understand?” Shi Ke touched Shi Man’s head. “Go home with us first. Mom is waiting for you at home.”
“Waiting for me?”
“That’s right. Mom said that she’s bringing you to the CBD to buy clothes today. Butler Qi has already gone over to clear the area.” Shi Mu pulled Shi Man to his car. “Xiao Man, take Little Brother’s car back.”
Shi Man was about to take out her car keys to show that she had driven when she realized that the wild silver sports car had disappeared.
Where was her car?
Shi Jue could tell what Shi Man was thinking and explained, “In order to bring you home, we’ve already gotten someone to tow your car back.”
This was really unexpectedly domineering.
Shi Man looked at the expectant people in front of her and finally chose to take Shi Jue’s car back.
Shi Mu was too noisy. It was easy for fans to chase after Shi He’s car. Shi Ke’s black business car looked dull.
“Please get in, my little princess.” Shi Jue opened the door for Shi Man. His car was a blue-green convertible with a warm and bright interior. There was a bouquet of roses on the inside of the passenger seat and snacks on the table.
Shi Man smiled and nodded as she got into Shi Jue’s car.
If not for the fact that the Shi family was too famous, the two of them would definitely be thought of as a perfect couple.
The reason why Shi Man chose this car was not only because of Shi Jue but also because it was a convertible.
She had just come to this world and did not have the chance to appreciate the scenery.
Of course, she didn’t have much of a chance to admire the scenery in her original world.
Therefore, she wanted to take this opportunity to relax.
G City was very romantic at dusk. The car was driven over a bridge and she looked at the waves in the sea. The warm yellow light of the setting sun shone on the city, seeming to cast a golden shall over it.
Shi Man leaned back in her chair and looked at the scenery outside with the rose. The pastry was put back after a few bites. She didn’t like sweet things.
Shi Jue seemed to have noticed Shi Man’s fatigue and turned on the central control to play a song.
Broken walls intersect with broken bones
I hold fast to this moment of peace.
Just for you
I will eventually meet what is mine.
Embrace the thunder…
Shi Man’s thoughts drifted to the sky with the music.
For the first time, Shi Man felt a sense of nothingness without purpose. She had been an agent for too long and had long been used to the life arranged for her.
Would she meet the beauty that belonged to her just like in the song? Would she be able to live again in this world for herself?
