Su Tang ignored Shi Man for the entire afternoon. Even after school, she was still throwing a tantrum.
Shi Man was puzzled, not understanding why she was so angry over this small matter. However, she could only coax her patiently. “Don’t be unhappy, okay? 1 was wrong.” “You!” Su Tang glared at her and took a bite of the straw.
“Why are you still drinking this milk tea for the entire afternoon? Let’s go, I’ll buy you a new one!” Shi Man raised her arm slightly and hugged her shoulder before dragging her to the canteen.
The cafeteria after school was especially deserted. Only a few classmates would come here to buy things. Most of them had been picked up by their drivers from home early on. No matter how good the things in school were, they could not compare to the things outside.
However, Shi Man did not think so. She quite liked the milk tea in this shop and felt that it was even better than the one she had drunk in the mall last time.
She asked Su Tang to wait at her seat while she went to the bar to order two cups of warm milk tea. Then, she swiped her cell phone in boredom and waited.
Sensing the footsteps gradually approaching behind her, Shi Man turned off her phone screen vigilantly. She narrowed her eyes dangerously and turned around with an imposing aura. “Who is it?”
…..
Yuan Yi was shocked by her sudden action and couldn’t help but exclaim. Then, he deliberately patted his chest aggrievedly and said, “You scared me to death. Manman, why are you so nervous?”
“Nothing.” Shi Man had been watching the people on the school forum discussing Shi Jing. It was said that she had not come to school all day. Even the police had not found her.
Shi Man did not care about this. She was just inexplicably worried that Shi Jing would hide in the dark. If she could not deal with her, she would transfer her anger to the people around her. That way, she might not be able to guard against her, so she paid special attention to the movements around her.
Yuan Yi took two cups of milk tea for her with a smile. “1 saw that your brother was not waiting for you at the school gate, so 1 came back to look for him. I didn’t expect to really meet you here. Hey, why did you buy two cups? Is the other cup for me?”
“It’s for Su Tang.” Shi Man snatched the milk tea from his hand without hesitation, but when she turned around, she didn’t see Su Tang in the same position. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked around the dining room in panic.
“What’s wrong?” Yuan Yi had never seen her so nervous before. A bad feeling arose in his heart, and he could not help but ask, “What are you looking for? Shall 1 help you look?”
“Su Tang! Did you see her when you came over the last time? I asked her to sit there and wait for me!” Shi Man pointed at a table very close to the door, but there was no one there now.
“No, there was no one there when I came in!” Yuan Yi looked at his watch in confusion. “Could she have gone home at this time?”
“No! She lives at my house. She won’t leave alone without waiting for me!” Shi Man threw the milk tea to Yuan Yi and ran out of the cafeteria to look at the empty campus.
At this moment, there were not many students in the school. If Su Tang was taken away, she would probably not be discovered.
She cursed her carelessness in her heart and took out her phone to call Shi Mu. “Brother, are you at the school gate? Did you see Su Tang?”
“Su Tang? No? Third Brother and I have been waiting for you at the door. Why aren’t you here yet? Oh right, Yuan Yi went over to look for you. Did you see him?” Shi Mu held a leaf from the tree in his mouth casually and subconsciously looked at the crowd walking past.
“Yes, but Su Tang is gone!” Shi Man pursed her lips. The more critical the situation was, the calmer she became.
Since she couldn’t get any useful information from Shi Mu, she hung up.
Fortunately, there were cameras installed on the corridor pillar opposite the cafeteria. She hurriedly used her phone to hack into the surveillance cameras system. Just as she was about to pull up the recent surveillance cameras records, someone suddenly patted her shoulder.
Su Tang stood behind her with a blank expression. Looking at her empty hands, she asked in a daze, “Is the milk tea not ready?”
Shi Man turned around in disbelief and saw the innocent-looking Su Tang. While her heart fell back into her stomach, her anger surged. “Where did you go?”
At this moment, she was feeling frustrated. She did not control her tone well and her attitude was fierce, scaring Su Tang.
Su Tang took out a tissue to wipe the water off her hands. She lowered her head aggrievedly and said, “1 suddenly wanted to go to the washroom just now…”
Her voice was so weak that it was almost indistinct. She looked so pitiful that tears were about to fall.
However, Shi Man still glared at her angrily and said in a harsh tone, “Didn’t I tell you not to run around? Why didn’t you listen to me?”
Su Tang shed an aggrieved tear and nervously stirred the tissue in her hand. Her voice was muffled and sobbing. “I’m sorry. I just wanted to go to the washroom. I didn’t run around..”
