Chapter 83 - 83 Uninvited Guest
83 Uninvited Guest
The farce finally ended and the rock climbing competition came to a close. Shi Man was naturally the undisputed champion.
Holding the useless certificate, she and Su Tang walked into the canteen to eat.
After personally witnessing Shi Man’s attitude towards Yi Zheng, almost no students in Cassel Academy dared to provoke her anymore. Putting aside the fact that she had once chased after a man, what they knew of Shi Man’s family background, appearance, and ruthless deeds in Class F was enough for them to completely recognize reality.
Shi Man was someone none of them could afford to offend. Even Song Zhi, who had always considered herself Yi Zheng’s cousin, had to apologize to her in public. It could be seen what the consequences would be if this matter fell on them.
Shi Man stood at the end of the line with a tray with a cold expression. The students in front immediately avoided her and Su Tang.
The students of Class F seemed to be avoiding the plague. They wished they could get as far away from her as possible so that she wouldn’t remember the times when they rolled their eyes at her and seek trouble with them.
Chen Wei used to follow Fang Han. Now that he saw Shi Man, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Thinking that he was still going against her during the past few days of training, he immediately braced himself and leaned in front of her. “Sister Man, what do you want to eat? I’ll get you food. Just sit here and wait.”
“Oh?” Shi Man’s lips twitched with a fake smile. She turned around and looked down at Su Tang. “Are you willing to let him get you food?”
Su Tang glanced at Chen Wei, who was always bullying her. She pouted and shook her head reluctantly.
Shi Man immediately looked at Chen Wei in disgust. “Get lost.”
Chen Wei was stunned for a moment. He looked at Su Tang and hurriedly ran away with his plate, as he refreshed his impression of Su Tang. It seemed that if he wanted to build a good relationship with Shi Man in the future, he had to please Su Tang first.
Shi Man and Su Tang had just sat down after scooping the food when the uninvited guest strode over and sat in the empty seat opposite.
Shi Man ignored him and couldn’t even be bothered to look up. It was Su Tang who timidly called him “Brother Yi”, preventing his face from turning as dark as the bottom of a pot.
“I haven’t had the chance to ask you where you learned your skills.” Yi Zheng didn’t waste his breath on her and went straight to the point.
Shi Man slowly took a sip of soup before looking up and asking curiously, “Why should I tell you?”
Yi Zheng smiled instead of being angry. Seeing her put the egg in Su Tang’s bowl into her mouth, he frowned and said unhappily, “The two of you are very close.”
Shi Man chewed the egg in her mouth speechlessly, wishing she could pry open the male protagonist’s brain and see what was inside!
Why had she gained favorability with the female protagonist for no reason? Wasn’t it because he was too incompetent as the male protagonist? He always disappeared at the critical moment, making her to save his woman again and again.
Now, she had only eaten an egg from Su Tang, but he was still being sarcastic! How ridiculous.
Shi Man rolled her eyes and swallowed the egg. She deliberately mocked, “Not bad. Not as close as the two of you.”
“Manman, Brother Yi and I are really not what you think.” Su Tang was about to explain when Shi Man picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
“You don’t have to explain. I don’t want to hear it.”
Yi Zheng stopped smiling and stared at her coldly and distantly. “Even if you don’t want to hear it, I have to say that the engagement between the two of us hasn’t been annulled. Before that, I won’t engage in anything I shouldn’t do with any woman. This is my duty.”
Shi Man did not want to get involved in the relationship between the male and female leads. It was not easy for the two of them to appear at the same time. They should take the opportunity to develop their relationship. Why did they run to her and were in a hurry to cut ties between each other?
“As you please.” Shi Man ate the food in a few bites before putting down her chopsticks and looking at him seriously. “If this marriage contract that was wrong from the beginning has already caused such a huge obstacle to your search for happiness, I think we should cancel it as soon as possible.”
The families of both parties did not say anything about this matter and it was delayed until now. Moreover, the male lead had personally come to her to hint at her. She could take advantage of the situation. It would be best if she could finalize the date of the annulment now so that they could relax.
Yi Zheng’s expression darkened. He looked at the face opposite him, which was no longer filled with a fawning smile. Now, she only knew how to treat him with a distant and repulsed expression. She kept saying that she wanted to cut ties with him.
But the more she acted like this, the more he wanted to investigate her feelings for him.
Moreover, she was filled with mysteries now. If he could not figure out her secret, he would not cancel the marriage so easily.
“I don’t have time now. We’ll talk about this later.” Yi Zheng left the canteen with a straight face as if he didn’t want to discuss it anymore.
