nThe next day was the military school examination.

nShi Man applied for leave from the army in advance and the leader naturally approved it.

nEarly in the morning, Su Tang and Bai Xue were waiting outside happily.

nThe two of them had clearly just returned from a run. There were still a few drops of sweat on their foreheads.

nYi Zheng followed Shi Man downstairs and tried his best to reduce his presence so that Shi Man wouldn’t hate him.

nSeeing that the child was pitiful, Shen Xian gave him a look helplessly. “The car at home broke down today. Let Yi Zheng send you to school.”

nShi Man stopped in her tracks and turned to her worried mother expressionlessly. “Mom, we have so many cars. Have they all broken down?” Shen Xian opened her mouth awkwardly. For the sake of her son-in-law’s happiness, she made up her mind and said, “Yes, they have all broken down. The butler hasn’t had time to send them for repairs.”

nButler Qi was confused, but he still lowered his eyes and echoed, “It’s my fault for delaying the ladies’ school.”

n“Alright, there’s no need to act.” Shi Man turned around speechlessly and looked at Yi Zheng’s burning black eyes. “Let’s go. I don’t like to be late.”

nYi Zheng was so happy that a smile immediately appeared on his face. He took the initiative to help the three of them carry their school bags. After getting into the car, he waved at Shen Xian gratefully.

nShen Xian couldn’t help but laugh. She instructed them to be careful and watched them leave from the door.

nThe car was silent for a moment.

nYi Zheng chatted with Shi Man.

nSometimes, Shi Man would reply if she wanted to. When she didn’t want to speak, she would lean back in her chair and close her eyes.

nYi Zheng kept looking at her through the rearview mirror, wishing he could make up for what he couldn’t see next.

nAlthough he wanted to drive slowly, he stopped the car at the school gate in advance in order for Shi Man and the others to not be late for the exam.

nWhen they got out of the car, Yi Zheng was even faster than Shi Man. He walked around the car and carefully opened the car door for her. “Can 1 pick you up for dinner after the exam?”

n“No, I still have to return to the army. Just send the two of them back,” Shi Man replied coldly.

nYi Zheng pursed his lips aggrievedly. “Then when can 1 see you again?”

nShi Man suddenly looked up at him. “Are you very free?

nYi Zheng felt even more aggrieved. “Manman, 1 don’t ask you to forgive me immediately, but once 1 find evidence, you can’t be so cold to me anymore.”

nShi Man smiled gently. “That depends on how long it takes you to prove yourself.”

nWith that, without waiting for Yi Zheng to speak, she pulled out the their schoolbags from the backseat and entered the military academy with them.

nTong Su had long known that Shi Man was coming today, so she brought people to welcome her at the class door in advance. When she saw her, she immediately came up to ask about her.

nThe other students in the class were also very curious about Shi Man’s life in the army.

nThey had already heard that Shi Man had used only half a month to quickly improve the students’ results and almost forced back a top student. The instructor involved had yet to return to the army to work again!

nA group of people surrounded Shi Man and the other two and asked themselves questions.

nShi Man was annoyed. She couldn’t help but frown and say coldly, “Quiet.”

nEveryone immediately shut their mouths and only dared to look at her timidly. During this period of time, Shi Man did not come to school, so Bai Xue changed seats and sat beside Su Tang. Now that Shi Man was back, she naturally had to give up her seat.

nUnexpectedly, just as she was about to walk to the other side, Shi Man grabbed her arm. “Just sit here. 1 can sit anywhere.”

nBai Xue nodded obediently. She carefully looked at the students around her who were filled with thirst but did not dare to make a sound. She could not help but plead for them. “Manman, the students are also concerned about you and want to know your recent situation.”

nShi Man sighed softly and sat back in her seat with her long legs crossed. “Ask whatever you want, but you can take back the unnecessary flattery.”

nJoy appeared on the students’ faces as they looked at Bai Xue gratefully.

nOf course, Tong Su was at the front. When she saw Shi Man, she could not hide her admiration. “Manman, do you know? My father tells me every day that he wants me to learn from you, but you’re really improving too quickly. Do you have any secrets? You’re so skilled. Can you teach me?”

nShi Man held her forehead helplessly.

nShe still remembered that this girl seemed to have a huge grudge against her when she first saw her. She did not expect her to become enthusiastic and lively after changing her stance.

nShe had always been tolerant of girls, but this did not mean that this included Tong Su.

nShe would never forget what these people had done to Su Tang.

n“If you want to learn, sure. I’ve already taught it to Su Tang. If you want to learn, acknowledge her as your master.”

nTong Su did not expect Shi Man to throw the problem to others.

nEven Su Tang pointed at her nose in surprise and asked silently, “Me?”

nShi Man nodded gently. “Su Tang and Bai Xue are my best friends. Of course I’ll teach them what 1 know first. If you want to learn, you can beg them..”
