Chapter 58 - 58 Conspiracy at Night
58 Conspiracy at Night
Shi Man could tell from his expression that his dependence on the medicine was acting up again. She brushed his hand away unaccustomedly and brought him into the kitchen.
She took out the remaining seafood from the fridge and peeled the crab meat and prawn meat. After busying herself for a while, she made a bowl of fragrant and sweet seafood porridge.
Shi He had not eaten anything for the entire night. At this moment, the refreshing fragrance completely whet his appetite. He could not help but pounce forward to pick up the porridge bowl and eat heartily without caring about his image.
Shi Man sat quietly at the side and watched him eat. Although Shi Jing did not add a lot of the drug every time, he still had a dependency that was difficult to quit because he had taken it for a long time. In order to avoid big problems in the future, she still had to make time for him to eat more of her cooking these few days.
The fragrance of the kitchen soon attracted Shi Mu, who was sleeping at night.
His sense of smell was especially sensitive to the fragrance of food. When he smelled it, he realized that Shi He was secretly eating supper. After knowing that it was made by Shi Man, he immediately gritted his teeth and wished he could snatch the bowl of porridge away and bring it back to savor.
His sister had never cooked for him before. At this moment, Shi He had used some unknown method to trick his sister into personally cooking in the middle of the night. He was really jealous.
Shi Man watched them bicker with curved eyes. She got up and scooped another bowl of porridge from the pot and placed it on the table. “There’s more in the pot. Take your time to eat. I’ll go back and sleep first.”
“Sister.” Shi Mu was initially holding a bowl of fragrant porridge with a satisfied expression on his face. However, when his sister passed by him, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. “You went out just now.”
Shi Man stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him calmly. “No, why do you ask?”
“Maybe I was mistaken. It’s fine. Go back to sleep. I’ll send you to school tomorrow morning.” He blinked, and his handsome facial features looked even more lively. If it were an ordinary girl, she would have been infatuated with his youthful smile.
However, Shi Man was clearly not an ordinary girl. Not only did she not think that his facial features were lively, but she also thought that his facial features were cramping. Without saying a word, she turned around and returned to her room to take a shower.
Just now, she had been handling seafood in the kitchen and did not pay attention to the smell on her body from the outside. However, now that there was no additional scent around, she could easily smell the rust from the factory.
Unexpectedly, after only staying inside for a short while, even her hair was dyed with a smell.
Today, she thought that the man would not believe her easily, but when she simply proposed a verbal agreement, the man did not stop her.
She did not know if it was because he really trusted her from the bottom of his heart, or because he was too confident in his strength, so much so that he did not think that she could escape from him.
Shi Man, who had read the plot in the book, knew very well that the male protagonist, Yi Zheng, was not a fool who would trust others so easily. He did this because he felt that victory was in his grasp.
During the simple exchange in the library, she realized that Yi Zheng’s strength was actually on par with hers. This gave her a sense of urgency.
The male protagonist could still fight well under influence of the heat poison. If she cured him tomorrow night, it would be very difficult to deal with him in the future.
There was only one way.
Shi Man clenched the black pearl ring in her hand as a plan surfaced in her mind.
At the corner of the stairs, Shi Jing silently looked at the photo she had secretly taken of Shi Man on her phone. She sneered and turned to return to her room.
She posted the photo on a secret website. Soon, it attracted all sorts of flattery from men. Using Shi Man’s photo as the avatar, she chatted explicitly with these men and even agreed to meet them in the future.
After laying the groundwork, Shi Jing quietly erased all the records of this website on her phone and closed her eyes with a sinister smile.
No matter how many schemes and plots there were at night, the next morning would still arrive on time.
Shi Man finished the last bite of bread. When she picked up her backpack and walked out of the house, Shi Mu hurriedly ran down the stairs. When he saw his sister driving away again, leaving his face full of dust, Shi Mu hated himself so much that he gritted his teeth.
If not for the fact that he had eaten too much and could not sleep at night because he had snatched the seafood porridge from Shi He last night, he would not have woken up late this morning and missed the opportunity to send his sister to school again!
Shi Mu glared angrily and looked around for the culprit. However, that guy did not wake up early without benefits. He must be sleeping comfortably under the blanket at this time!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Shi Mu was no longer in the mood to eat breakfast. He picked up his backpack and walked out with a cold expression.
Behind him, Shi Jing called his name timidly. Seeing that he had only stopped in his tracks and had no intention of turning around to look at her, Shi Jing bit her lower lip awkwardly. Her eyes were red and swollen as she said weakly, “Fourth Brother, can you take me to school along the way? I’m going to be late soon.”
