160 Eavesdropping

After Shi Man explained her plan, she got up to return to school.

Sean and the others sent her off reluctantly. Then, they continued to stay in the hotel to enjoy their “retirement”.

In the school, during the lunch break after Shi Man left, the school had already posted an important message on the school notice in front of the teaching building.

The annual student union recruitment and club recruitment event was about to begin.

This year’s Student Union Bureau was about to graduate, so not only could newcomers enter the Student Union to build a good relationship with the old members in advance, but they could also take the opportunity to try to run for president. Those who were capable might be chosen by the president to be nurtured as his successor.

Shi Man had heard Shi Mu talk about this more than once, so it was not news to her. She only glanced at it briefly before walking into the classroom.

The originally noisy class instantly fell silent because of Shi Man’s arrival. The students who wanted to continue discussing the Student Union and club could only secretly communicate through messages on their phones.

Seeing that she had finally returned, Su Tang warmly handed her the food she had specially brought back from the canteen. She smiled and said, “Eat it while it’s hot. They’re all your favorite dishes.”

In a short period of time, Su Tang actually figured out most of her preferences. The dishes in the lunch box were indeed her favorites.

Shi Man couldn’t help but smile and tease, “If it were in the past, you would really be my greatest weakness.”

Su Tang didn’t understand what she meant and thought that the dishes she picked today didn’t suit her taste. She hurriedly said guiltily, “If you don’t like them, don’t eat them. I’ll buy you something else.”

Their voices were neither loud nor soft, so the students who were closer could hear them. The students who were further away saw the shocked gazes of the others and scratched their hearts and lungs curiously. They quickly created a new group and pulled those people into the group to ask, “What are they talking about? Tell me quickly!”

“That’s right, that’s right. I’m really curious about how Su Tang usually interacts with Shi Man. Their relationship looks super good!”

The student who heard the conversation couldn’t help but reply in the group chat in disdain, “What kind of relationship do you have? Isn’t Su Tang just Shi Man’s sidekick? I’ll broadcast what they’re talking about here.”

Seeing Su Tang say that she wanted to buy a new meal for Shi Man, many students revealed disdain. Their fingers quickly typed on the screen, “I knew it. What kind of identity does Shi Man have? Why is she willing to be friends with Su Tang? So Su Tang had earned it through bootlicking! She’s so attentive! Why isn’t anyone willing to run errands for me and buy me food?”

Shi Man turned her head slightly and glanced at the students who were behaving abnormally. Her expression turned cold as she said softly and coldly, “No need. It’s not that I don’t like it.”

“That’s good.” Su Tang was relieved and poured her another cup of hot tea. She smiled and said, “This is freshly brewed tea. Try it. I’m not used to drinking tea usually, but you seem to like it very much, so I tried it. The tea leaves are also newly bought. If you drink it, I’ll make tea for you every day in the future.”

The student sitting at the table in front of the two of them wished she could stuff her head into the stomach of the table. She lowered her head and quickly typed in every word Su Tang said in the chat box. Then, she heaved a long sigh and said proudly, “See, I told you she’s bootlicking, right? She’s used to being a nanny!”

Shi Man glanced coldly at the expressions of the people around her and narrowed her eyes. Her tone couldn’t help but become cold. “Don’t you feel tired doing this?”

Her original intention was to let Su Tang not worry about doing so much for her, but perhaps because her tone was not good, it sounded like she despised her.

Su Tang’s face turned pale. Her deliberately low voice suddenly sounded as soft as a mosquito. “If you don’t like it, I won’t do it anymore. However, if you need anything, you can tell me at any time.”

The student in the front seat typed even more enthusiastically. Why hadn’t she realized that Su Tang had such a bootlicking side in the past?

In the past, Su Tang’s academic results were very good and she was the class monitor. She always prioritized the interests of the entire class. Usually, even if she was deliberately bullied, she would swallow her anger. She was strangely obedient, but she looked very dignified and principled.

But now, she had accidentally overheard another side of Su Tang. She immediately typed excitedly in the group and sent Su Tang’s words to the group. She wished she could tell everyone about her discovery so that she could take the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being at the center of attention.

The girl sitting in front of Su Tang, who was excitedly bitching to her classmates in the group, did not notice that there had been no sound behind her for a long time. It was only when her deskmate gently pushed her arm that she suddenly got up.

She followed her deskmate’s horrified gaze and realized that an arm had been placed on her shoulder. She immediately turned around and met Shi Man’s faint smile.
