Chapter 39: Milk Candy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After a full meal, Huo Man looked at the watch.

Well, just in time. She could go to school now.

She had finished reading the company’s documents for the day and had nothing urgent to do in the afternoon. Since she had already signed up for school, it would be better to go.

“Where do you plan to go now? I’ll give you a ride.” Shen Bei suddenly asked as if he could read her mind.

“I’m going to school,” Huo Man said.

Shen Bei nodded. After he paid the bill, he brought her to the car and sent her to the entrance of Jiali High School.

When Huo Yan saw that they had arrived at their destination, she was about to get out of the car when Shen Bei called out to her.

She turned around and saw Shen Bei taking out a handful of milk candies from his pocket and placing them in her hand.

“If you ever go through bitter times, just have a milk candy.” Shen Bei let go of Huo Man’s hand. His tone was extremely calm, but it revealed gentleness.

Huo Man’s face was always cold and Shen Bei always wanted to see her smile.

Huo Man couldn’t help but feel stunned. She looked down at the milk candies on her palm and felt a layer of warmth cover her heart. The ice in her eyes also melted a little.

However, she quickly regained her senses and stuffed the milk candies into her pocket. She said nonchalantly, “Thank you.”

She then opened the car door and walked into the school.

Shen Bei stared at Huo Man’s back till she disappeared from his sight. He then said to Xu Feng, “Let’s go.”

Xu Feng didn’t dare to delay, so he immediately drove to the Shen Group.

Indeed, ever since Shen Bei had gotten to know Huo Man, Xu Feng’s understanding of Shen HhBei renewed every day.

Xu Feng had been by Shen Bei’s side for so many years, but he had never seen him eat candy. Rather, he had never seen a single milk candy in his possession.

In the end, Shen Bei took out a handful of milk candies from his pocket all for Huo Man! Moreover, he even said sweet words to her?

Xu Feng studied Shen Bei through the rearview mirror as he drove.

Shen Bei was looking out of the window with a rare gentleness in his eyes and a faint smile on his lips.

Seeing this, Xu Feng was very sure that Shen Bei had fallen in love with Huo Man.

Although she had rushed back to school, Huo Man was still late.

However, she didn’t care. She walked unhurriedly to Class C and even took out a milk candy with great interest and stuffed it into her mouth.

The fragrance of milk filled the air and Huo Man’s heart melted a bit.

Shen Bei’s calming words drove out the last trace of bitterness that remained in her heart.

But this sweetness stopped the moment she entered the classroom.

“Teacher, Huo Man is here!”

Class C was in a mess. Someone shouted, and the class quieted down. Everyone looked at Huo Man in unison.

Huo Man looked at their hostile gazes in confusion, and then looked at the class teacher on the podium.

When Huo Man saw Huo Yan crying next to the form teacher, she realized that Huo Yan was probably up to no good again.

“Huo Man, you didn’t come this morning. Don’t you feel guilty?” Huo Yi, who was clearly in his first year of high school, suddenly appeared in Class C. He rushed up to Huo Man and questioned her.

Huo Man was completely confused. What did this pair of siblings intend to say? Was this a double act?

“Huo Man, Huo Yan ran into a few hooligans when she came here this morning. They almost…” The form teacher’s face turned pale and she swallowed the second half of her sentence. “Fortunately, a few students from another class happened to see her and helped, so the tragedy was averted.”

Even after hearing those words, Huo Man still couldn’t figure out what any of it had to do with her. She asked coldly, “So what?”

Seeing how cold Huo Man was, the head teacher and many students in the class began to wonder if Huo Man and Huo Yan were actual sisters.

“Huo Yan said that she was beaten up by those gangsters a few days ago. They said that you sent them to her.”

The homeroom teacher’s words made Huo Man suddenly realize the truth.

It turned out that today’s incident was still the aftermath of what had transpired a few days ago.

“Where’s the evidence?” Huo Man asked indifferently.

Was he going to question her in front of so many people without any evidence? How ridiculous!
