295: Chapter 179: The Power of the Top Student 295: Chapter 179: The Power of the Top Student After finishing the conversation with Su Fu, it was already evening.
Zhang Xiao Man arranged for the anti-gravity car to take each of them back ho, until only Lin Sisi was left.
“Since you’re already out, let’s go have sothing to eat tonight, it’s very inconvenient for you to be alone.
Have you considered moving here after this base is established?
Compared to outside, it’s safer here with the Shield protection.”
The girl nodded obediently upon hearing this, as it was indeed a bit inconvenient living alone outside.
Although she had been living in this state for over a year, days like this were really tough and lonely.
For her, it wasn’t just about living; it was a matter of survival.
So Lin Sisi almost instinctively agreed to Zhang Xiao Man’s suggestion after hearing it.
On one hand, this would enhance her safety level; on the other hand, with the assistance of the Star Rank, her daily life would also beco much easier.
And most importantly, if she lived here, wouldn’t she be able to “see” Brother Xiao Man every day?
The girl’s heart suddenly felt a bit sweet.
Zhang Xiao Man wasn’t aware of the girl’s thoughts.
However, it was impossible to say he had no feelings for her.
What he couldn’t quite figure out was whether his feelings towards Lin Sisi were more of affection or sympathy.
Both of them were complete novices in this regard and tended to be more passive.
Although to others, they seed more like a young couple, that ubiquitous barrier had never been broken.
Their destination was a newly opened restaurant in Qionghua City, reputedly owned by a celebrity who had chains countrywide, and sotis there was even a chance of seeing the celebrity himself in the restaurant.
However, they didn’t encounter him this ti; instead, they t a magician performing live magic on the street.
It was a handso young man.
He likely noticed that Zhang Xiao Man and his company drew much attention, especially with Lin Sisi’s blindness, and he targeted them.
“Hello, I am Magician Chu Liang, you can also call by my English na, David.
We’re filming a show.
May I take a bit of your ti and perform so magic for you?”
Zhang Xiao Man saw that the other party was quite polite, and since they had nothing else to do, he nodded in agreent.
However, he was sowhat speechless that the young man had chosen a blind girl to perform magic, wondering how big his heart was.
“Thank you, please allow to borrow the tableware from your table.”
The magician nad Chu Liang then started his performance, accompanied by a young man with a cara filming behind him.
By this ti, a crowd had started to gather around, intrigued by the rare street performance.
Chu Liang was indeed young, but his techniques were practiced.
After a series of flashy moves, Zhang Xiao Man was astonished that he couldn’t figure out when the magician had slipped the fork into his shirt pocket.
“Thank you, I appreciate the cooperation of this gentleman and thank everyone for watching.”
Chu Liang took the fork from Zhang Xiao Man’s pocket, showed it to the audience, and then turned his gaze towards Lin Sisi, who was standing aside.
He mostly chose this pairing because of Lin Sisi; after all, such a delicate and beautiful young girl, who was also blind, naturally attracted a lot of attention and people.
“Oh?
Miss, are your eyes unable to see?”
Chu Liang naturally steered the conversation towards Lin Sisi, asking with so “surprise.”
The people around had actually already noticed the young girl’s condition, and when he brought it up, they all looked over.
Seeing Lin Sisi nod slightly, Chu Liang then said with so self-reproach,
“I’m really sorry, that was very presumptuous of , just thinking about how my performance missed such a beautiful audience mber makes truly regrettable.”
The onlookers also showed signs of pity, and so started whispering to each other, their words filled with sympathy.
Zhang Xiao Man frowned; how could he not see Chu Liang’s intentions?
Although the other party might not have had any ill intent, exploiting a blind person in such a manner really irritated him, especially since the one being exploited was Lin Sisi.
Moreover, with him setting the tone like this, the people around started discussing the young girl; though their words were full of well-intentioned sympathy, sotis this kind of pity could inadvertently hurt others.
The girl seed to sense the mood of the people around her, and she bit her lip lightly before speaking up ahead of Zhang Xiao Man.
“It’s okay, actually I did ‘see’ it in a way; your performance just now was indeed splendid, I felt the entire process.”
Lin Sisi’s voice was gentle, but her words left people a bit confused.
What does it an that she felt it?
Can you really feel it?
Are you just comforting him?
Ah, suddenly I find this young girl to be very kind.”
Lin Sisi didn’t care what the people were thinking.
After a brief pause, she continued,
“Initially, when you ca to us for the performance, to draw our attention, the gentleman standing on your right secretly slipped a dining knife into Brother Xiao Man’s pocket…”
Her startling revelation abruptly drew everyone’s eyes to a chubby middle-aged man in the inner circle, who then frantically waved his hands to indicate he had no idea what was going on.
“Then you used so close-up magic techniques to display your skills again, attracting the audience’s attention and earning their credibility…
Oh right, I’ve heard that this stage of performance is called ‘showing off’.”
The crowd showed their confusion.
“What?
Showing off?
What is that?”
They thought about it again and suddenly realized it seed to be true.
Just as the young girl had said, after Chu Liang had shown off his skills, they did indeed start to trust him a bit, feeling that this magician must be quite capable, so swapping a dining knife or such shouldn’t be an issue; many people unconsciously followed his lead.
“Next, you suddenly pointed at Brother Xiao Man, then said that the dining knife was in his pocket.
At that mont, because a preliminary trust had already developed, everyone unconsciously looked in the direction you pointed…
but actually, the knife was still hidden on you!”
