Shen Man stood outside the door with a book in her hand.

After a while, the door opened a gap, revealing a pair of proud apricot eyes.

"Why're you looking for me?" Lin Shu asked in annoyance.

Shen Man smiled gently and handed over the book, "I've finished copying notes. I'm returning your book."

Lin Shu frowned, pausing for two seconds, suddenly furious.

She forcefully opened the door and glared at Shen Man. Her pale and tender face turned red with anger. "Shen Man, you tricked me! Your books were never ruined."

"How could I find the courage to trick you?" Shen Man replied with a smile, bringing with her a cold gaze, followed by a sense of oppression, "Since the young lady wants to play, I am naturally willing to play along."

"You..." Lin Shu was stunned, her momentum weakening in an instant. She bit her lip and snatched her book back.

With a bang, she slammed the door hard, bringing about a sense of unreleased anger.

Shen Man stood outside, chuckling, before returning to her room.

Her original, undamaged book laid quietly on her desk.

A gust of wind blew past, flipping over a few pages to the notes she had just copied.

Shen Man sat down, slender fingers squeezing the corners of the page.

She stared at the notes written not long ago on it, frowning slightly.

Those water damaged magazines are not worth mentioning to Lin Shu.

She, on the other hand, copied the same notes twice and had her bag soaked.

In the end Shen Man was still the one who suffered.

In fact, she can play around with Lin Shu without paying a price.

However, she still chose this stupid method of 'hurting the enemy by 1000, but injuring yourself by 800'.

Shen Man chuckled and closed the book. She then got up and walked over to the balcony.

The cool breeze combed through her hair. She pinned her hair back and gazed at the green plants framing the various high-rise buildings.

Shen Man stood for a moment before feeling a sliver of coldness.

Then, she turned around and returned to her room.

The phone she left on her desk rang.

Shen Man walked over and saw that the call was from 'Tan Kai'.

Just before the last ring, she picked it up and asked in a faint voice, "What's wrong?"

"We're going to have a basketball game tomorrow afternoon. I was wondering if you have time to come and see." Tan Kai said with a smile, with a bit of nervousness evident in his voice.

"Sorry, I'm busy tomorrow." Shen Man replied.

"What are you going to do?" Tan Kai asked.

Shen Man was silent.

For a few moments, no one spoke.

Tan Kai summoned up his courage and persuaded her while laughing, "Class monitor, a basketball game isn't that long. Come cheer for us, and if you still don't like it, you can leave. Alright?"

The boy changed the way of calling her, pleading with nervous caution.

Shen Man frowned.

"Lin Shu and her other female classmates will come too," Tan Kai added.
