75 Unusual Female Lead
On the way back to the dormitory with Su Tang on her back, Shi Man passed by the first dormitory facing the staircase and heard a commotion from inside.
Behind her, Su Tang gently patted Shi Man’s shoulder and whispered beside her, “It’s Shi Jing.”
Shi Man frowned and sent her back to the dormitory without stopping. She took off her coat and started to change.
Su Tang looked away and asked carefully, “Aren’t you going to take a look?”
“Why should I go?” Shi Man picked up the wet towel and wiped her body briefly before opening her backpack and taking out the pajamas Su Tang had prepared.
The soft and smooth pure white pajamas were pulled out from the bottom by Shi Man. She couldn’t help but rub it in her hand, and her eyebrows twitched unconsciously.
“Don’t you like it?” Su Tang probed. “If you don’t like it, I have another pink one here.”
“No need.” Shi Man didn’t hesitate anymore. She put on the comfortable pajamas before turning around to pour a cup of hot water.
Although there was no place to wash up in this dormitory building, there was still a hot water room that could provide the students with drinking water.
“Shi Jing treated you like that last time. It’s only right that you don’t go to see her.” Su Tang was a little shy to change in front of others, but she had fallen to the ground today and her clothes should have been changed and washed long ago. She could only find something to talk about with Shi Man to ease her embarrassment.
“I thought you would say that she’s my sister after all and ask me to help her.” Shi Man curled her lips and glanced at her mockingly. Her gaze met Su Tang’s fair and smooth skin and she looked away indifferently, as her gaze landed on her toes.
“I won’t say that.” Su Tang had changed and was fumbling with buttons, her face a faint pink. “She’s not good to you. You’re not obligated to help her.”
“You’re quite unusual as the female lead.” Shi Man raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Su Tang did not understand her words. She looked up and asked in a daze, “What female lead?”
Shi Man changed the topic expressionlessly. “Nothing. Your leg should be treated. Do you need help?”
“No need. I can do it myself.” Although it was very inconvenient for Su Tang to go up and down the stairs with her injured knee, she could still walk slowly in the dormitory. She didn’t want to trouble Shi Man over a small matter.
Since she had said so, Shi Man did not ask anymore and took out her phone to look at it for a while.
The rain outside became heavier and heavier, only stopping in the morning.
Because of Su Tang’s leg injury, she did not need to participate in many of the training sessions. She only found a place to sit and watch the other students train.
Due to Shi Man’s outstanding performance yesterday, she was appointed by Instructor Zhang as the acting class monitor of Class F to assist him in training students.
Training their physical fitness was a gradual process, but because this activity was only for a week, the instructors focused on training their leg muscles and limb coordination in the first five days to prepare for the highlight of the last two days.
After five days of baptism, the students of Cassel Academy visibly lost weight.
During these few days of training, not only did they eat simple and light food, but the intensity of the activities also made the students who already did not have much of an appetite even more unwilling to move their chopsticks. Even walking became a problem now, and their movements up and down the stairs became slow.
Only a few students with strong adaptability could still walk quickly and be in high spirits.
One of them was Shi Man.
She quickly scooped the food and found an empty seat to sit down. Even if it was just light stir-fried vegetables, the dish seemed to have become a delicacy in front of her. She ate without even frowning.
Su Tang, who was beside her, had almost recovered from her leg injury. She had participated in training normally today. Compared to the other girls who complained about being tired, Su Tang could already be considered a heroine.
She followed Shi Man to participate in high-intensity training and did not ASA complain that she was tired. She gritted her teeth and insisted on following her.
“Manman, I don’t like eggs. I’ll give this to you.” Su Tang was worried that Shi Man would not be full due to her intense exercise. She had to share some of the untouched dishes with Shi Man every time. This had already become a tacit understanding between the two of them.
Not only did Shi Man have to follow Class F for normal training, but she also had to be sent by the instructor to participate in other additional training. Every time she returned, it would be dark outside. Su Tang was very worried about her health.
“Thank you.” Shi Man took the egg and finished it in small bites. Then, she put down her chopsticks and stretched. “It’s comfortable. Eat slowly. I still have to go to the instructor’s office.”
“Alright, we just finished eating. Walk slower,” Su Tang instructed softly. Then, she lowered her head and continued eating quietly.
Fang Han stared at her for a long time. Finally, when Shi Man left the canteen, she sat in her seat with the plate and said coldly, “Are you on good terms with Shi Man? Then do you know what she’s busy with every day when she’s not training?”
“I don’t know.” Su Tang shook her head warily. Fang Han didn’t have a good relationship with her. Now that she suddenly asked her about Shi Man, she must be plotting something.
