129 Not Getting a Boyfriend

Su Tang was waiting for her in the classroom. When she saw her, she ran to her side happily and smiled. “Manman, the clothes I made for your third brother have been approved for use by the production team!”

Shi Man looked down at her design blueprint and commented with a smile, “Of course.”

Su Tang was instantly even happier. She smiled and took out another blueprint for her to see. “This is for your fourth brother. Help me bring it back and show it to him. If he’s not satisfied, he can mark it with a pencil. I’ll take it back and change it.”

“Okay.” Shi Man put away the blueprint. After sitting down, she turned to look at the girl who was still smiling secretly and suddenly asked, “What about mine?”

Shi Man only wanted to tease her, but she did not expect Su Tang to blink her eyes seriously and say guiltily, “I’m sorry. I’ve been too busy recently. I have only one idea for your clothes, but I can design them tonight. I’ll show you the design tomorrow, okay?”

“Why are you working so hard?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows and smiled. “It’s not like I don’t have clothes to wear. Take your time and don’t tire yourself out.”

“I know.” Su Tang smiled sweetly. When she saw the umbrella in her hand, she was stunned and asked in surprise, “Whose umbrella is this?”

“How do you know it’s not mine?” Shi Man stared at her playfully.

Su Tang couldn’t stand her teasing gaze the most. After looking at her, she felt her heart beat faster and she felt very uncomfortable. She quickly lowered her head and whispered, “It’s not your type.”

“You know me quite well.” Shi Man chuckled and did not comment.

In the past, she would definitely avoid letting others know her preferences, but it was different now. She was suddenly very happy that someone was working hard to be with her and remember her preferences.

This strange taste even gave her the illusion of happiness.

Su Tang looked up shyly and stole a glance at her. She asked tentatively, “So it’s your brother’s?”

“No,” Shi Man replied honestly. “It’s a boy’s. I don’t remember his name.”

Su Tang stared at her in confusion. Based on Su Tang’s understanding of Shi Man, she should not easily accept anything sent by someone she was unfamiliar with.

Could it be that this boy was special to Shi Man that made her break her usual style and be willing to accept his kindness?

Her thoughts drifted further and further away. Su Tang did not even hear Shi Man call her. It was only when Shi Man suddenly snapped her fingers in front of her that Su Tang came back to her senses and asked in a daze, “What’s wrong?”

“What are you thinking about? Why are you in a daze?” Shi Man pointed at her backpack. “Where are my notes?”

“Oh, oh, here it is.” She took her notebook out of her backpack. After half a semester of notes, she had used up half of the thick notebook and looked accomplished.

However, Su Tang did not have the mood to admire her results now. She thought of many things in an instant.

Shi Man’s help was always at the most critical moment, but she should be dispensable to Shi Man.

Her only use was probably to show Shi Man her daily class notes, but these were not necessary for Shi Man because Su Tang knew in her heart that even without her notes, Shi Man could still obtain her current score by virtue of her memory and simply listening to class.

The reason why Shi Man borrowed class notes from her every day was probably just a habit.

However, if she didn’t even have this last purpose, would she become less needed once Shi Man had someone else in her heart?

The more Su Tang thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. No wonder she was worried. Shi Man meant a lot to her and had long surpassed ordinary classmates and friends.

The more she valued Shi Man, the more she cared about who else she would date.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Su Tang felt.

Shi Man looked strangely at her deskmate’s melancholic expression. She suddenly reached out and knocked on her desk, calling her back from her daze. She said in amusement, “It’s just an umbrella. Is there a need? What are you thinking?”

Su Tang came back to her senses and blurted out, “Would you have a boyfriend?”

“Huh?” Shi Man frowned as if she had never thought of this question and was especially troubled. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I don’t have this thought for the time being. What about you?”

“Me?” Su Tang shook her head decisively and denied it. “No, I just want to study hard and design clothes now. I want to fulfill my aunt’s dream.”

When Shi Man heard this answer, she couldn’t tell what she was feeling.

The female protagonist’s current mentality had completely deviated. Shi Man did not know if her decision not to have a boyfriend would affect her fate of becoming the female protagonist. However, the only thing Shi Man knew very well was that she would never wrong her in order to protect her family and force her to be with the male protagonist according to the original plot.
