In the main hall, the crystal chandelier cast a warm light on Shi Man, but the cold aura around her was incompatible with the warm atmosphere in the living room.
She turned to look at the man above the stairs. Her expression gradually turned from cold to shy. She subconsciously touched her swollen upper lip with her fingers, looking shy and flustered.
Shi Mu was stunned.
Ever since his sister had achieved success in her studies, she had always been calm and composed. It had been a long time since he had seen such a lively expression on her face!
If her sister in the past was like a snow lotus that had bloomed on a high mountain, then now, she was like a fairy who had walked down from the altar. However, she did not fall into the mortal world. Instead, she looked more lively and cute.
His sister was slowly getting better because of Yi Zheng.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, even Shi Mu was shocked. He quickly shook his head to expel this terrifying thought from his mind and made up his mind.
No matter if his sister wanted to be with Yi Zheng in the future, he would never let that bastard have the chance to bully his sister!
Shen Xian’s persuasion was indeed effective. At least Shi Mu did not try to chase Yi Zheng away during dinner.
The meal was quite peaceful, except for the occasional glares from Shi Mu and Yi Zheng.
The next day was the last examination day. Shi Man tidied up the examination equipment and brought Su Tang straight to the examination hall. As soon as she stepped into the school, many students recognized Shi Man and avoided her, automatically making way for her.
This was the dignity that Shi Man had accumulated from the battle with the Fang family.
Later on, that matter almost spread throughout the various families. Everyone knew how powerful Shi Man’s methods were. She actually made Fang Yu, who had been in the business world for many years, willingly give up the fat meat that was in his mouth.
After that, every family instructed their children not to provoke Shi Man in school. Otherwise, it was hard to guarantee that their family would not be the next to suffer.
Shi Man did not take these people seriously at all. She did not even look at the fear of the surrounding people. She pulled Su Tang to the classrooms to check the door signs and look for today’s examination hall.
Bai Yao narrowed her eyes and walked out from behind the corner of the wall. When she brushed past Shi Man, she suddenly twisted her ankle and tilted towards Shi Man.
She thought that Shi Man would catch her at least so that she could take the opportunity to attack. Unexpectedly, Shi Man took a step back and watched her fall to the ground, smacking her lips in disgust.
There were many students watching in the corridor, but no one dared to come forward to help Bai Yao. This was because the sudden drop in temperature around Shi Man made them unable to even move. They could only stand rooted to the ground.
Geng Hui happened to be the invigilator of this examination hall. When he heard the commotion outside, he hurriedly ran out of the podium. When he saw Bai Yao sitting on the ground with a painful expression, he looked at Shi Man, who had always been very obedient in class. He quickly reached out to help her up and said, “Why are you so careless? Did the corridor freeze and you lose your balance?”
Bai Yao looked up in disbelief. Wouldn’t normal people think that Shi Man had pushed her at this moment? Why did Geng Hui skip the steps of doubt and directly judge her to have fallen?
However, although she harbored the thought, Bai Yao did not intend to frame Shi Man this time. She was helped up by Geng Hui and apologized to him apologetically. “Thank you, Teacher. I might have slipped just now. I’m really sorry for disturbing you.”
“You’re welcome. You didn’t break anything, right?” After hearing from Bai Yao that this matter had nothing to do with Shi Man, he was still very happy, and the seriousness on his face faded.
Bai Yao shook her head gently and said weakly, “I’m fine. Thank you, Teacher.”
With that, her gaze swept across Shi Man and she smiled bitterly. “I’m really sorry for almost implicating Student Shi just now. Fortunately, you dodged quickly. Otherwise, I would have hit you.”
These words suited her personality.
Shi Man pursed her lips speechlessly. “Fortunately, you didn’t hit me.”
“Huh?” Bai Yao thought that she would feel guilty, but she didn’t expect her to be completely unpredictable. She was at a loss.
Shi Man looked at her expression coldly and said condescendingly, “If you hit me, you can’t afford it.”
This time, not only was Bai Yao petrified on the spot, but even Geng Hui did not know what to say.
The students nearby revealed shocked expressions and couldn’t help but sigh at how right their family’s decision was.
Now, in the entire school, only Su Tang dared to approach Shi Man openly. It was best for the others to hide as far as possible. Otherwise, if they really provoked her, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Without waiting for Bai Yao to react, Shi Man pulled Su Tang around them and walked into the classroom. She first found a seat for Su Tang. Shi Man patiently waited for her to sit down before handing her the bag she had helped carry all the way. “Don’t be nervous. I’ll bring you out to play after the exam.”
“Okay!” Su Tang smiled happily.
The surrounding students immediately felt their teeth ache.. Why did their interaction look so sweet?
