“Moreover, you said it yourself. They were invited by Lu Man, so it has nothing to do with you. Since they’re not invited by you, what do you have to be so smug about? As if it’s all thanks to you.” Wu Zilin scoffed.
Xu Chuansheng sneered in return.
See, that’s how Wu Zilin was.
Ignoring Xu Chuansheng, Wu Zilin turned to Lu Man imploringly, “Lu Man, I really wish to improve my acting skills. Can I listen in while Robert and Hayer are coaching you?
“I know I’m not in the competition and got no roles to play, so I can’t get any direct pointers from Robert and Hayer. So I’ll just be at the sidelines watching. Learning from their coaching of you guys is good too.”
Wu Zilin felt he was very sincere when he spoke to Lu Man.
“And I’ll just be watching from the side. I won’t be interrupting anything, and you all won’t be suffering any losses because of this. If it’ll affect you negatively, I won’t do it for sure,” Wu Zilin said.
Since Lu Man and the others won’t suffer losses and they were all classmates, what’s not to be allowed?
It’s only a matter of allowance, and they need not do anything for him.
If Lu Man wouldn’t agree, then she’s just petty, bad.
Hence, Wu Zilin believed that after he’d said those words in front of so many others, Lu Man wouldn’t reject him to protect her face.
Otherwise, how small-minded would she appear?
Just because she was so spiteful, she would reject such a simple request.
Then what authority would Lu Man have left in this team?
How could she lead others, then?
Wu Zilin was confident, feeling all clever for outsmarting Lu Man and forcing her hand.
“No way.” Lu Man’s voice rang out.
Wu Zilin thought he’d misheard. How could Lu Man reject him?
Fearing he’d indeed heard wrongly, Wu Zilin asked, “Wh-what did you say?”
“I said no.” Lu Man’s voice was clear and strong, with no trace of hesitation. “I refuse to let you listen in. We won’t bring you along.”
“Why!” Wu Zilin looked disbelievingly at Lu Man. “I’ll not be affecting anything, and you won’t be losing anything. Why can’t I join?!”
“Simply because I’d invited Robert and Hayer,” Lu Man replied. “You were picking on me, and now you want to attend lessons from teachers invited by me? What reason is there for you to enjoy advantages brought by me?”
“You…” Wu Zilin couldn’t even choke out a reply.
He never thought Lu Man would really reject him!
Wasn’t she afraid of others feeling she was someone petty who held grudges?
“Robert and Hayer might not have come because of your name,” Wu Zilin said, insistent.
“Oh?” Lu Man replied blandly. “Then invite someone if you’re capable.”
“That’s right, when we couldn’t get anyone yesterday, why didn’t you say anything about inviting Robert and Hayer?” Han Leilei couldn’t hold herself back.
“Lu Man, perhaps in your eyes, our previous interactions might not have been pleasant, but in my view, that wasn’t unpleasant. I wasn’t picking on you. I was thinking about the team, and there were some problems with how I communicated it. Do you really have to bear grudges?” Wu Zilin pressed.
“That’s right, I hold grudges,” Lu Man said blandly.. “I’m just that petty. If I didn’t hold grudges, would Yu Xingzhou and Bai Shuangshuang’s matters then even occur?”
