122 Scholarship

Cassel Academy quickly welcomed another midterm exam.

Without any suspense, Shi Man got first place in the cohort this time. From then on, she became famous and made a name for herself in the entire school.

Su Tang was very happy for Shi Man. However, the results of this mid-term examination would be factored into the scholarship evaluation at the end of the year. Sometimes, she would not be able to get it.

In the classroom, Shi Mu was surrounding Shi Man with the report card in his hand. “Sister, you’ve become the focus of the entire school this time. What other reward do you want? As long as you tell me, I’ll get it for you immediately.”

“No need.” Shi Man’s results were just for fun. She wasn’t thinking of any rewards.

Shi Mu lingered around her. “Good sister, make a request. Otherwise, Brother will feel empty.”

The students of Class F looked at the president of the Student Council, who had always been high and mighty, speechlessly. At this moment, he had completely changed into a different person. They could not help but click their tongues in their hearts.

When Su Tang returned, she looked a little listless. However, when she saw Shi Mu and Shi Man playing, her eyes were filled with smiles.

Shi Man pushed Shi Mu out of the classroom helplessly. “Go back quickly. See you after school.”

Shi Mu was reluctantly pushed out of the classroom. Coincidentally, the class bell rang, so he didn’t enter the classroom again. He just stood at the door and whispered, “Then I’ll wait for you at the door of the class after school. Don’t forget.”

“Okay.” Shi Man nodded. After returning to the classroom, she sat down and finally made time to ask Su Tang, “What happened to you just now?”

“Nothing.” Su Tang subconsciously denied it. Seeing the dissatisfaction in Shi Man’s eyes, she hesitated for a while before choosing to tell the truth. “I’m worried about the end-of-term scholarship.”

After being familiar with Shi Man for so long, Su Tang knew Shi Man’s personality. She knew that she liked to be straightforward, so she did not intend to hide it.

She did not have a good family background like Shi Man. Ever since she stopped working, her only income was the scholarship every semester. If she could not get enough money this time, she would probably have to rely more on the Yi family to survive next year.

“So that’s what happened.” Shi Man raised her eyebrows and nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t snatch it from you. I’ll voluntarily give up my right to receive the scholarship.”

“What?” Su Tang widened her eyes in disbelief and quickly dissuaded her. “Don’t do this. Manman, no matter how short of money I am, I know the logic of earning money with my ability. I don’t need you to give in to me. This is a reward you deserve. Even if you don’t need it, you should take it.”

“Who’s giving in to you?” Shi Man smiled mockingly. “I don’t care about the scholarship, to begin with. I don’t intend to ask for the school’s money at all. If you have the ability, get second place yourself. This way, the scholarship will naturally fall to you.”

“Manman…” Su Tang still couldn’t agree with her. To a student, not only was a scholarship a usable sum of money, but it was also the highest honor of one’s academic life. She didn’t want Shi Man to give up the honor because of her.

However, Shi Man had already made up her mind. She waved her hand impatiently, not wanting to dwell on this matter with Su Tang. She changed the topic and asked, “How’s the costume design for my third brother? I heard that he’s going to wrap up filming soon. Before the production team finishes filming, he’ll apply to the director to reshoot that scene. There doesn’t seem to be much time left.”

“It’s almost done.” In order to complete this mission, Su Tang did not have time to revise these few days even on the eve of the exam. She had been busy with that costume. As long as she finished this set, she could calm down and design the next set of clothes for Shi Man.

“That’s good.” Shi Man casually stuffed the report card into the trash can and said calmly, “Remember to collect more money from him. You’re a fool to not earn money.”

Su Tang couldn’t help but laugh. She nodded obediently and said, “Okay, I understand.”

Seeing that Su Tang could finally listen to her, Shi Man was very relieved. However, when she thought of the male lead who never followed the original plot, Shi Man could not help but have a headache.

This person should either develop a relationship with the female lead obediently or find someone else. Why was he always hanging around in front of her?

When she returned to the Shi family after school these few days, Shi Man could always see the things Yi Zheng had sent over. She really didn’t know what he was thinking.

At night, it suddenly rained heavily outside.

Shi Man received a message from Shi Mu. He said that he still had some finishing work to do in the Student Union and could only come over to pick her up later.

In the past, Shi Man would definitely not stay and wait for him. However, thinking that she had already agreed today, she could only sit in her seat and look through her notes in boredom.

The students of Class F would only be in high spirits after school. When the bell rang, the students ran off.
