78 Rock Climbing Competition
“Huh?” Su Tang clearly did not expect to suddenly hear this name from her. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
There was suddenly silence in the dormitory. Su Tang pursed her thin lips and stared fixedly at Shi Man’s side profile, wanting to see her emotions. However, even if she stared at her face, she did not notice any difference in how Shi Man regarded Yi Zheng.
Su Tang asked worriedly, “Do you really not like him anymore?”
She still remembered what Shi Jing had said today. In her heart, she believed Shi Man, but there was always a thought lingering in her mind, making her so frustrated that she only wanted to hear Shi Man’s answer with her own ears.
!!
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and looked at her playfully as if she was facing a great enemy. She said in amusement, “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll snatch him from you?”
“Manman, Yi Zheng really took care of me because of my uncle.” Su Tang didn’t want her to misunderstand. Hearing that she was still misinterpreting her relationship with Yi Zheng, she quickly explained anxiously, “There’s really nothing between him and me, and we’re not very close.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Even if there was nothing now, there would always be something in the future. Yi Zheng must have suddenly come to practical training to develop the plot with the female protagonist.
Shi Man waved her hand perfunctorily and lay back on the bed to look at her phone, her thoughts slowly drifting away.
She remembered that the male protagonist should have had a lot of contact with the female protagonist at this point. The two of them were supposed to be in the ambiguous stage, but now, it seemed that the female protagonist was closer to her and did not seem to have much interaction with the male protagonist.
Shi Man pursed her lips disapprovingly. Anyway, her mission was only to protect the Shi family. It had nothing to do with her when the female protagonist and male protagonist started walking the emotional path.
She was here to experience a different life, not to be a matchmaker.
Su Tang could tell that Shi Man was being perfunctory, but she could only bite off the meat bun in her hand helplessly and vent her anger and helplessness on the innocent bun.
The faint fragrance of meat spread in the small dormitory. Su Tang quietly looked up at Shi Man, but she was caught off guard and met her playful eyes. She immediately said nervously, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Shi Man did not answer. She put away her playful smile, put on her coat, and went out with her toiletries.
Just now, she actually felt that Su Tang looked especially cute eating the bun as if she was venting her anger. Could it be that she had unintentionally taken the wrong script and had the male lead’s plot transferred to her?
Shi Man shook her head hard and waved away the messy thoughts in her mind. She regained her composure and washed up expressionlessly before returning to her room to sleep.
The next morning, after the school leaders organized an early morning lecture, the official rock climbing competition began.
This competition was a speed competition. The results of the competition were ranked according to the time of completion. In order to take care of the students of Cassel Academy, the rock climbing speed path had a height of ten meters and a tilt of five degrees. Everyone only had one chance to climb. In the end, the team would give the champion of this competition a certificate.
Before the competition began, there was a small interlude. Song Zhi from Class S looked for the instructor anxiously and said that she had lost an important bracelet. However, the competition was imminent and she did not have the time to help her find the bracelet. She could only report this matter to the Student Union, which was in charge of supervising the patrol.
When Shi Mu received the news, he reluctantly sent his Student Union members to help look for the bracelet.
This small interlude did not affect the official competition at all. As Shi Man’s name was at the back of the list, it was not her turn to go on stage until the end.
After putting on the protection equipment, Shi Man gently moved her limbs. As the command was given, she climbed up agilely. Even the professionally trained instructor was stunned by her speed.
Up until now, many students had lost midway because of insufficient arm strength or lack of technique. There were very few students who could reach the peak, let alone with such a deft movement technique.
For a moment, Shi Man immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Even Yi Zheng, who was sitting steadily on the rostrum, could not help but look over.
Shi Mu was on tenterhooks about his sister’s dangerous competition when he suddenly saw the man’s gaze from the corner of his eye. He immediately mocked him as if he was facing a great enemy. “My sister has long disliked you. For the sake of our families not falling out in the future, I advise you not to pester her.”
“Did I say I wanted to pester her?” Yi Zheng sneered. His expression suddenly darkened as he looked at the girl on the rock climbing wall.
Shi Mu was right about one thing. It was precisely because he did not want the two families to fall out that he rejected this girl coldly from the beginning.
However, recently, he accidentally discovered too many secrets about Shi Man. There were so many that the Shi family might not know Shi Man as well as he did.
The more he understood, the more shocked he was.
She was just a little girl who had yet to graduate, but she could wield control of Immaculate and had hundreds of mercenaries under her. What was even more mysterious was that she actually knew how to treat his heat poison.
