She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 238 Zero Point Mathematics
"I asked for the opera for Yuanxiao. Her voice is no longer suitable for singing opera."

Chi Mu thought that if he had a smoking addiction, he would have smoked several cigarettes.

Chi Mu spent a year preparing the lyrics and music for that play, which was tailor-made according to Shen Manzhi's situation.

"I told her that I wanted to promote a new artist, but actually, it was more of a selfish desire for her to perform on stage again."

Every time Shen Manzhi returned to the capital, all the rumors hiding in the gutter came out, digging up old grievances and harassing her, but she always acted as if she didn't care.

Chi Mu lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "But every time she came to the Liyuan to listen to opera in her spare time, the look in her eyes was really too deep."

How could she not care? That was the glory she had won with her own efforts. Why should she allow others to trample her into the mud again and again?
Qin Yanfeng said in a low voice, "Hasn't she ever refuted it once?"

Chi Mu was stunned. He had also asked Shen Manzhi this question at that time.

The man was lying on the stone steps of the rooftop, his face covered with a half-opened book to block out the faint light of early summer, and he responded to him in a lazy tone.

"At first I wanted to beat them up, but then I thought about it and realized that it was pointless to argue with a bunch of people whose brains haven't fully developed."

Chi Mu understood her well and would never talk if he could take action.

Just because she won first place in the final performance, those unfounded rumors came like a raging storm. Although she always acted indifferent and was too lazy to argue, she was not a saint and it was impossible for her not to be affected.

Chi Mu just thought that she was swallowing her grievances.

Shen Manzhi called his name again.

"Chi Mu, even if you are admired by thousands of people, you will never be able to stand on the top of the mountain. Only when you are surrounded by thorns can you fight your way out."

Chi Mu's heart was shocked. He tilted his head to look at her, and then he noticed that the book covering her face was called Fundamentals of Opera Directing.

Later, he encountered Shen Manzhi communicating with the director behind the scenes many times, and thought she was talking about her performance. Unexpectedly, her plan after stopping singing was to try to be a director.

Chi Mu realized then that even if she changed her path, she would not give up the things she loved because of those people and things.

After years of fighting against the dangers around her, she is still full of enthusiasm and fights in another way, climbing to the top of the mountain.

Qin Yanfeng listened to every word and remained silent for a long time.

What a positive and tenacious vitality Shen Manzhi must have had at that time.

"What about the college entrance examination application?"

"It's a long story."

Thanks to Shen Manzhi's rescue, Chi Mu was able to save his life. After successfully being promoted to the number one fan, he got to know Shen Manzhi's follower, White Tiger No. 1. Only then did he know that the rescue was a mission accepted by Shen Manzhi, and that he came alone in order not to alert the enemy, which led to the timely rescue later.

Chi Mu flattered Shen Manzhi in Baihu's ear all day long, and only then was he able to learn from Baihu some of his savior's past.

When Shen Manzhi was in high school, she didn't skip classes very often. Most of the time she stayed in the classroom and listened to the lectures obediently. But there were too many people who made trouble for her. The group of people who were promoted from junior high school said that she was pretending to be a noble student and wanted to be a good student. So it was common for her textbooks, homework and test papers to be thrown into the trash can, soaked in water or thrown away. She was also bound to get into fights and cause trouble, and she was a "frequent visitor" to the police station.

She fell behind in classes and gradually couldn't keep up, so she came less and less often. As you can imagine, her grades weren't very good.

As the third year of high school approached, that group of rich kids who were causing trouble chose to study arts and sports, so Shen Manzhi was able to complete a round of review in peace. He then took a break for a while and only returned to the classroom before the college entrance examination.

Shen Manzhi met that group of people at noon on the first day of the exam.

She was constantly bullied and even tried to ruin her college entrance exams.

When Shen Manzhi came out of the alley dizzy, fifteen minutes had passed since the exam started and she completely missed the math test.

She did not miss the exam the next day, but after the English exam, the gentle and kind head teacher stopped her from downstairs. Although she was wearing long sleeves and long pants, the bruises at the corners of her mouth were very obvious. The teacher looked at her with eyes that seemed to be distressed and sighed endlessly. In the end, he just took her hand and told her that she must come to the graduation dinner in the evening.

Shen Manzhi thought that this time the teacher would not be able to say that again: Tell the teacher if you are bullied, and don't fight alone next time.

Because after graduation, even the teacher could no longer protect her.

After the college entrance examination, Shen Manzhi almost disappeared. People only heard about her at occasional gatherings and saw her singing in some bars. They laughed and sneered at her.

On the day the results came out, Shen Manzhi was not upset at all, as he had already expected to get a zero in math and a score of 500 that was less than the key line.

But no one had ever thought about how important it was that she could still get such a score even though she had missed so many classes and missed the 150-point math test.

After Shen Duanwen learned about her grades, his face turned grim and he remained silent. Xie Yulan gently warned Shen Luo to study hard and not to perform poorly like her sister.

Shen Manzhi stared at Shen Duanwen for a long time, but he didn't ask why he got zero points in math.

Then comes the time to fill in the application form.

Chi Mu recalled this and seemed to feel that he had gone off topic. His tone unconsciously quickened. "She found out that her application was changed from what her annoying stepsister said." Chi Mu frowned and asked Qin Yanfeng, "Shen what?"

Qin Yanfeng pursed his lips, "Shen Luo."

"Oh yes, Shen Luo, what a coincidence, on the day the admission letter was delivered, she invited a group of friends in the circle to hold a birthday party at home, so the news that Sister Zhi was admitted to an unknown opera academy spread like wildfire."

Of course, no matter how much coldness and ridicule there is, others naturally cannot empathize with it.

Shen Manzhi filled out the application form himself, so how could he not know which schools were included? Moreover, Shen Luo's gloating look was too obvious. Shen Manzhi only needed to scare her a little and she would instantly understand.

But there was no evidence, and how could someone who was paid to do the job easily reveal the boss's secrets?

Shen Duanwen was naturally furious. Shen Manzhi said that someone had tampered with her application, but in return he called her a liar at such a young age.

Oh, it refers to the time when Shen Luo got lost at the age of ten, and Shen Duanwen used family rules to question her why she didn't hold her sister's hand.

Because Shen Luo didn't let her hold his hand, Shen Duanwen said this to her in return.

"She can actually repeat the year. She is a habitual truant and she still managed to get such a high score despite missing the math test. She is a good candidate for study."

As Chi Mu was talking, he started to become rude, and he treated it as a joke because he felt uncomfortable talking about these things.

Qin Yanfeng lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Chi Mu restrained his words again and sighed, "It's hard to tell whether she finally decided to go to the capital to study because she really wanted to escape from here, or because she still had some hope for her father, so she left in anger."

After all, in this family, Shen Duanwen was once a father who treated her like the apple of his eye.

Chi Mu came back to his senses and there was no trace of the person next to him in his peripheral vision.

He turned around and saw Qin Yanfeng walked to the side door and reached out from the car window to take his coat. "Where are you going?"

"Go find her."

Chi Mu quickly got in the car and said, "I'm going too."

Qin Yanfeng glanced at him, "What do you want from her?"

Chi Mu looked back, "Then what did you do?"

"Do couples need a reason to meet?"

"."

Oh no! Chi Mu turned his head away. It was all because his ancestors had left such a deep impression of him as a “flirtatious woman” that he forgot that he actually had feelings for her husband.

Qin Yanfeng sat back in the car and called Shen Manzhi.

What reason do I need to meet her? I just miss her.

Shen Manzhi did not hide it from him and said that he had some business to do in the capital.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Manzhi threw the phone aside, continued to dip the pen in ink, and wrote on the rice paper.

Stacks of rice paper filled with writing were spread out on the ground. The little monk held the brush in one hand and supported his chin with the other hand and said helplessly, "Sister, how much is left?"

Shen Manzhi glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on a pile of papers and books in front of the low table. "Not much left, it will be finished in an hour."

The little monk curled his lips and continued to copy resignedly, "Why on earth did the master punish me?"

Shen Manzhi responded, "You just don't listen."

"Ah?" The little monk tilted his head to look at her, "Then why are you asking me to copy for you? Won't the master be even angrier?"

Shen Manzhi opened another book and said lazily, "Master only looks at how much I have written, not how well I have written it."

The little monk looked downcast, "Sister, were the scriptures you asked me to copy before written as punishment for you?"

Shen Manzhi touched his head and said with a smile, "You are so smart."

The little monk was furious, "Senior Sister!"

There were footsteps at the door. Shen Manzhi looked up and saw Si Qi standing with his hands behind his back.

She slowly stopped smiling, put down her pen and stood up, "You write first, I'll get you something delicious."
