Chapter 432: Let Go of the Past
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The originally crowded and noisy corridor was unobstructed for Shi Man. She led the Student Union members behind her toward the office. Just as she was about to reach the door, she was suddenly stopped.
When Su Tang saw who it was, she subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of Shi Man. She said in an unfriendly tone, “Why are you here?”
Gao Wen knew that her appearance would not be welcomed , but she still braced herself and asked, “I want to speak to the President alone. Can 1?”
Shi Man gently grabbed Su Tang’s hand and pulled her behind her. She glanced at the paper bag in Gao Wen’s hand and said, “Sure, come with me to the empty classroom next door.”
Su Tang tugged at her hand worriedly. Bai Xue frowned and persuaded Su Tang. She whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry, Manman can deal with her.”
Only then did Su Tang retract her hand resentfully and glare at Gao Wen.
Shi Man let the others in the Student Union go in first to do their own things. She brought Gao Wen to the next room and found two empty chairs to sit down. She asked coldly and distantly, “What do you want to say? Just say it.”
Gao Wen bit her lower lip nervously. She suddenly made up her mind and stuffed the paper bag in her hand into her arms. “This is the outfit I made for you. See if you like it.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at the black and gray clothes in the paper bag. She looked at her calmly. “Why did you make clothes for me?”
Gao Wen’s face suddenly turned red. She unnaturally looked away, and her voice became weaker. “1 want to thank you.”
“Thank me for what?”
When Shi Man looked at Gao Wen, it was if she saw Su Tang, who was always especially nervous when she first interacted with her. At that time, Su Tang was also hemming and hawing when she spoke.
However, the current Su Tang would no longer be like this. Seeing how she had sensed danger and decisively blocked Gao Wen in front of her just now, Shi Man was inexplicably relieved.
Gao Wen knew how patient she was by being here, so she braced herself and closed her eyes. She made up her mind and blurted out, “I want to thank you for saving Xiao Zhi and his family after the explosion. Perhaps you don’t remember who he is, but I’m willing to repay this favor on behalf of Xiao Zhi!”
“Oh, 1 understand.” Shi Man reached out for the clothes calmly.
After Gao Wen finished speaking in one breath, she nervously observed Shi Man’s reaction.
The mockery and curiosity she had imagined did not appear. Shi Man only opened the paper bag with an indifferent expression and saw that Shi Man’s gaze did not flunctuate as she looked at the clothes she had spent a few months modifying countless times.
It would be a lie to say that Gao Wen was not disappointed. However, on second thought, Shi Man did not despise her because she was the one who gave it to her. Instead, she took the initiative to check the clothes. It was enough for her.
However, if she could see her put it on with her own eyes, Gao Wen would definitely be even happier.
After barely sorting out the sadness spreading in her chest, Gao Wen smiled bitterly. She tilted her head and said understandingly, “It’s okay. If you don’t like it, you can throw it away.”
She bit her lower lip and still did not receive Shi Man’s reaction. She forced a smile and said, “Oh, right! Xiao Zhi said that he wants to see you. If you’re willing, 1 can bring you over this weekend. Their family runs a restaurant and their cooking is very delicious! But if you’re unwilling, forget it. It’s okay!”
She said it calmly, but she still didn’t hide the grievance in her heart.
Shi Man saw the true emotions in her heart and smiled at Gao Wen for the first time. She put away her clothes and picked up the paper bag. She patted her shoulder and said gently and kindly, “Can I bring my friends with me?”
Gao Wen did not expect Shi Man to smile at her. She was stunned and even forgot to nod.
Shi Man looked at her expression and lowered her head to think for a moment. She said solemnly, “I’ll pay!”
Gao Wen couldn’t help but smile. She heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but beat faster. “You don’t have to pay. 1’11 treat you to a meal. See you this weekend. Can 1 add your contact number? I’ll send you the address then.”
“Okay.” Shi Man nodded in agreement. She took out her phone and added their contact details before smiling. “1 like the clothes very much. I’ll wear them to see you on the weekend.”
This could already be considered an unexpected surprise for Gao Wen!
She almost jumped up in joy but resisted this urge to embarrass herself in front of Shi Man.
Her excited heart clamored until the weekend. It was not until she saw Shi Man that she was completely relieved. She walked up calmly and greeted Shi Man and the others.
Initially, Su Tang did not want to interact with Gao Wen anymore, but when she saw that outfit, she completely changed her mind.
Designers could more or less communicate with each other. Moreover, Gao Wen and she had too many similar views in the design field. She could tell that Gao Wen really wanted to thank Shi Man, so she gradually let go of her initial grudge..
