Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the cafeteria, after Shi Man and Su Tang finished eating, she let Su Tang return to the classroom first.
She did not know what urgent matter Chen Wei wanted to speak to her about. Now that she was free, Shi Man planned to go to the rooftop to meet him.
Su Tang was a little worried and insisted on following. However, Shi Man sent her back to the classroom and deliberately warned her to stay in her seat obediently and not run around.
Su Tang could not dissuade her and could only listen. She watched Shi Man walk up the stairs alone, but she kept feeling a little flustered.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a boy in a white shirt was standing at the door of the classroom. Su Tang recognized him and her eyes lit up as she told him her worries.
On the rooftop, Chen Wei was in a daze the entire afternoon. He had only taken two bites of his meal before sitting here. When he heard the iron door of the rooftop being pushed, he hurriedly stood up. He got up suddenly and felt a little dizzy.
“What is it?” Shi Man walked into the shadows and stood there, looking up at Chen Wei expressionlessly.
Chen Wei scratched his head. He was so nervous that even his breathing rhythm was disrupted. His chest was so stuffy that he could not breathe. “I, Sister Man, I wanted to ask you…”
“Huh?” Shi Man waited for a while more. Seeing that he was still hemming and hawing, she smacked her lips impatiently. “If you don’t tell me, 1’11 go back to sleep.”
“I’ll tell you, 1’11 tell you!” Chen Wei steeled his heart and suddenly closed his eyes. He threw caution to the wind and asked, “1 want to ask if you like anyone!”
The surrounding air seemed to have fallen silent in an instant. Chen Wei waited for a long time but did not receive a response. He carefully opened a crack and saw that Shi Man had quietly walked in front of him.
“Sister Man…” Chen Wei called out guiltily, then tactfully shut his mouth under her glare.
“Is this what you mean by important?” Shi Man smiled coldly. Her narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of mischief. “Why are you asking?”
“Because 1…” Chen Wei looked at the beautiful face that was suddenly magnified in front of him. He suddenly swallowed nervously and his throat tightened. “Because I like…”
“Manman!”
With a bang, the door to the rooftop was kicked open from the outside. Yuan Yi rushed in with sweat all over his face. When he saw Shi Man, who was extremely close to Chen Wei, his pupils constricted. He hurriedly ran over and hugged her shoulder. “Are you alright? Why did you suddenly come to such a dangerous place on the rooftop?”
“Who are you?” The ambiguous atmosphere that Chen Wei had just created was suddenly broken. The nervousness and joy in his heart turned into uncontrollable anger. “Who asked you to come here?”
Yuan Yi pulled Shi Man behind him and glared at Chen Wei expressionlessly. “I still want to ask who you are and why you called Man Man here.”
Chen Wei choked. Thinking of what he had almost said just now, his face burned. He asked Shi Man for help in a panic. “Sister Man, 1 really don’t have any ulterior motives! Hurry up and let this person go. I haven’t finished speaking!”
“There’s no need to say anything else.” Shi Man’s expression darkened as she pushed Yuan Yi away. “I’ll pretend not to hear what you said just now. Don’t say it again.”
“Sister Man! It’s not like that. Let me explain, okay?!” Chen Wei was anxious now. He had failed to probe and was even misunderstood by her. When he panicked, his mind turned blank again, and he couldn’t even think clearly about what he wanted to say.
Yuan Yi raised his hand to stop Chen Wei, who was about to follow him, and said coldly, “Didn’t you hear Manman clearly? She doesn’t want to hear you now. Please don’t pester Manman in the future.”
“No, who are you? What right do you have to order me around?” Chen Wei was indignant and glared at Yuan Yi angrily. “I’m warning you, don’t interfere in my relationship with Sister Man. Otherwise, 1’11 teach you a lesson!”
“Oh?” Even the usually gentle Yuan Yi was a little angry at this moment. “How do you want to teach me a lesson? Manman doesn’t like you. 1 advise you to stay away from her. She’s not someone you can provoke.”
“I’m her classmate! Don’t I know her better than you? Why are you so nosy? Who are you?”
Chen Wei rolled up his sleeves indignantly. Seeing that Shi Man had already disappeared around the corner of the stairs, he was no longer anxious. He stood rooted to the ground and confronted the man in front of him, wanting to compete with him.
Yuan Yi couldn’t be bothered to fight with someone like him. He said coldly, “I’m her fourth brother’s good friend. We’ve known each other since we were young. You’re just classmates. How can you compare to a childhood sweetheart?”
Chen Wei suddenly lost his confidence. He looked at Yuan Yi in a daze and sized him up. His aura weakened. “Then if you can stop me once, can you stop me a second time?”
“Go ahead and try,” Yuan Yi said calmly. Then, he left the rooftop without looking back and caught up with Shi Man..
