After Shi Rongrong hid in the bathroom to discuss the next plan with Gu Liang, she came out and saw Su Man sitting by the window drawing the design for the competition.
She wanted to go over and take a look, but Su Man had placed the drawing board at a very clever angle, right in the gap between the bed and the window sill wall. If she wanted to see it, she would have to squeeze past Su Man, but that would be too deliberate.
So Shi Rongrong could only stretch her neck and ask, "The manuscript is due in a few days. When do you plan to submit it?"
"I've already finalized the design. I estimate it will take about two days."
Shi Rongrong asked with concern, "Then you'll be busy drawing the design draft these two days, so let me take care of the food and other things."
Su Man raised her head from behind the drawing board, staring at her intently, the corners of her lips curled up, "Rongrong, you are so kind to me."
Shi Rongrong's expression was a little unnatural. "Yes, you are my best friend."
...
late at night
After Qin Man's breathing stabilized, Shi Rongrong tiptoed down from the bed, came to Qin Man's drawing board, and shone it with the flashlight on her mobile phone.
At this moment, the drawing board was covered by a dust cloth. She placed her mobile phone on the windowsill and carefully lifted the cloth.
The design above is almost complete. It is a bracelet with a strong sense of design. A thin ring is used to string together multiple metal patterns of different shapes, and some crystal particles are added in the middle, making the whole bracelet both smart and exquisite.
Shi Rongrong looked jealous. If Qin Man were to enter this work into the competition, she would most likely win a prize.
She glanced at Qin Man's bed and, seeing she showed no sign of waking up, quietly turned on the flashlight and took a picture of the design. She then put the dust sheet back on as it was.
Just as she passed Qin Man's bed holding her breath, Qin Man suddenly spoke.
"Don't go."
Shi Rongrong stood frozen in place, sweating profusely. She didn't even dare to turn her head, and her calves were cramped.
However, Qin Man turned over and muttered, "Senior, don't leave."
It turned out to be a dream.
Shi Rongrong breathed deeply as if she had just survived a disaster. She smoothed her chest and cursed with lingering fear, "You're talking in your sleep! It's so scary."
She climbed back into bed, pressed the phone to her chest, and fell asleep peacefully.
-
For the next two days, Su Man spent her time attending classes and drawing designs in her dormitory.
That day, Shi Rongrong came back from nowhere and as soon as she entered the house, she hurriedly asked, "Xiaoman, have you read the forum?"
"No." Su Man didn't even raise her head.
"Hurry up and take a look. I don't know who's on top of this, but they're saying that the senior has been playing with you, spending your money, and always asking you to buy him gifts."
After hearing what Shi Rongrong said, Su Man quickly opened the forum. She had to see who was so perceptive and insightful. With just a quick glance, she guessed who it was: Bai Dachuan, who had been paying her so much attention lately. She had only given him a slight hint, and he had already created this thread. He was a real professional.
Shi Rongrong was still adding fuel to the fire, "Senior didn't even have dinner after seeing this post. Aren't you going to try and persuade him?"
Su Man said in embarrassment, "But there are so many people coming and going in school, I'm afraid of being discovered."
"Then go in the middle of the night. Senior has been unable to eat or sleep these past few days because of all the public opinion. He needs comfort right now. Besides, it's been several days. Don't you miss me?"
Su Man seemed to be persuaded and said, "Okay then, ask him to wait for me in the small garden of the school at 12 o'clock at night. We will meet there."
Seeing her agreement, Shi Rongrong's face lit up with joy. "I've already told the dormitory aunt that you'll be catching a flight tonight to attend an event. When the time comes, just tell her and you can come out."
"What about you?"
"Me?" Shi Rongrong made up a story. "Well, isn't tonight Friday? Li Meng from the next door dorm said her roommate went home and there's no one in the room, so she asked me to go keep her company."
"So that's how it is. Then it's settled." Su Man smiled innocently.
early morning
In the school's small garden sat a boy shivering from the cold. He couldn't stand the cold any more and said to the girl in the bushes, who was holding her phone and waiting to record the video, "Why hasn't Qin Man come yet?"
Who else could it be if it wasn't Shi Rongrong in the bushes? She was also freezing cold and said unhappily, "How should I know?"
The two had originally planned to make it a done deal tonight and then record a video. This would not only resolve Gu Liang's current predicament, but also free them from worrying about their future. However, the trap had been set, but the prey hadn't arrived yet.
Gu Liang stamped his feet and called Su Man again, but there was only a cold female voice on the phone.
"The number you dialed is powered off or out of service..."
At this moment, Su Man was lying on the bed with a facial mask on, swinging her little feet comfortably.
Figuring that the time was almost up, she took out her phone and dialed a number she had checked in advance, "Hello, is this the school security office? I want to report..."
The cold night wind swirled past my feet, giving me goose bumps all over my body.
Gu Liang was so cold that he rubbed his arms and said, "I can't get through to Qin Man's phone. Let's go back first."
Shi Rongrong had also reached her limit. In order to hide, she had been squatting in the grass. Now her legs were numb and felt like they were not her own.
She tried to get up, but her legs had no strength at all, so she reached out to Gu Liang and said, "Pull me up."
Gu Liang's hands and feet were stiff from the cold, and he lost his strength just as he pulled her up halfway.
The feeling of weightlessness came over Shi Rongrong, and she screamed "Oh my God" and fell backwards, with Gu Liang also falling on her.
