When he was about to speak, he realized that his voice was so hoarse that he could not speak.

“You don’t often dress like this.”

Shi Man looked puzzled. “Do i have to wear long pants when playing basketball?”

Yi Zheng laughed foolishly, before shaking his head helplessly. “That’s not what I meant. I just want to say that you look very good in this, but 1 want you to only wear it for me to see.”

Shi Man pursed her lips speechlessly. “Why are you looking for me here?”

Yi Zheng suddenly lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the grievance in his eyes. “I came to discuss a collaboration with your leader. I can’t leave before the collaboration is successful.”

Shi Man nodded in understanding. “Then go quickly. 1 wish you a happy cooperation.”

“Don’t go.” Yi Zheng tightened his grip on her wrist reluctantly. His usually cold eyes were like a pool of spring water in front of Shi Man, gentle and clingy. “We haven’t seen each other for almost a week, and you haven’t replied to my messages.”

Shi Man waved his hand away and asked him, “Can you prove your innocence?”

Yi Zheng suddenly felt even more aggrieved. “You don’t believe me?”

Of course she believed him.

However, Shi Man wanted him to remember his lesson and see if he still dared to keep anyone by his side in the future. She simply turned cold and said in an especially cold tone, “Yi Zheng, if you can’t prove your innocence, please don’t waste your time with me. I don’t want a man who has been touched by others.”

These words seemed to have stabbed Yi Zheng’s heart deeply, causing his eyes to turn red from the pain. “Manman, I don’t like any woman other than you. If I, Yi Zheng, am that kind of person, I wouldn’t have stayed clean for so many years. When I was in G City, did you hear about me being involved with any woman?”

Of course, Shi Man knew this, but she still deliberately stabbed him with words. “That’s in G City. People are fickle. Your status in the capital is unstable, so you might not know your limits for a moment. If you want to reconcile, you should think of a way to prove your innocence as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” Yi Zheng endured the dull pain in his chest and suddenly turned his head away from her. “I understand. Before I can prove myself, I won’t disturb you again, but we’re still engaged. You can’t look for anyone else!”

“Which eye of yours saw me looking for someone else?” Shi Man criticized in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. “That depends on how long it takes for you to prove yourself. You can’t make me wait endlessly!”

Yi Zheng suddenly grabbed her wrist and stared into her eyes. “I can do anything you want me to do. I can also understand if you push me away with your words, but if you dare to give up on me and look for someone else, no matter who it is, I’ll break his legs!”

“That’s your own business.” Shi Man shook off his hold coldly and turned to leave without hesitation.

Yi Zheng stayed outside the changing room for a long time until his legs were a little numb. Only then did he leave with a self-deprecating smile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a panicking girl.

Gao Shu had never seen such a good-looking man before, especially when the man’s eyes were still filled with love. It made her heart race.

She came late and did not see him arguing with Shi Man. She only saw Shi Man leave. Now that the handsome man looked at her so affectionately for a moment, she was so nervous that she did not know where to put her hands and feet. She could only raise her hand and greet him carefully.

Unexpectedly, the handsome man didn’t even look at her and walked around her.

After being completely ignored by the handsome man, Gao Shu chased after him indignantly. “Are you here to look for Instructor Shi?”

Yi Zheng stopped in his tracks when he heard this person mention Shi Man. “What’s the matter?”

Seeing that he was paying attention to her, Gao Shu hurriedly said in a coquettish voice, “I was on the same field as Instructor Shi in that match just now, but my basketball skills are not as good as Instructor Shi’s. Did you… notice me just now?”

Yi Zheng frowned and looked down at the girl’s basketball jersey.

It seemed that the team that had just competed with Shi Man was wearing this.

He had been looking at Shi Man and did not notice anyone else.

Gao Shu saw him looking at her figure and immediately puffed out her chest and raised her hips. She deliberately put on a gentle and charming posture to show off her graceful figure. “I have a good relationship with Instructor Shi. You’re Instructor Shi’s friend, so you’re my friend. Can I add your contact number?”

Yi Zheng looked away indifferently and left.

Gao Shu quickly reached out to grab his wrist. Before she could touch him, Yi Zheng shouted at her angrily, “Get lost!”

Gao Shu did not expect such a handsome man to be so fierce. She immediately cried aggrievedly. “Why are you shouting? 1 just want to add your contact number. 1 don’t mean anything else.”

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became. She was still immersed in her own world and did not notice Yi Zheng’s changed expression.

When she realized it, she felt a chill down her spine, as if she had been targeted by a poisonous snake. She couldn’t help but shiver..
