Mei Shu nodded as a matter of course, “His mental age is younger than yours, so you are his big brother!”
Only now did Mei Yan react.
This man wasn’t pretending to be stupid; he was really that clueless!
In an instant, the disgusted look he had when he glanced at Lu Si turned into one of pity. He even took the initiative to grab a tissue and help him clean the rice grains that had fallen on his suit. “Chew your food slowly. Don’t make a mess.”
Lu Si stared blankly and listened obediently, stealing a glance at Mei Shu’s expression. He then nodded docilely and said, “Okay.”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but mess up Mei Yan’s hair playfully as she watched Mei Yan intentionally adopt a mature demeanor. “I didn’t expect you to be such a good big brother, Yanyan. You’re amazing!”
Mei Yan allowed her to touch his hair, and when she was satisfied, he straightened his hair with a straight face and asked, “So, sister, where did you find him?”
Mei Shu explained, “On the way to visit your third brother.”
When she mentioned the third brother, Mei Yan’s expression darkened. “Sister, can you take me with you next time you visit Third Brother?”
“Of course,” Mei Shu replied without hesitation.
Perhaps seeing more family members would help with Mei Yan’s recovery.
While they were talking, Lu Si had already finished his meal. He stared at Mei Yan’s messy hair with a sad expression, then pouted and burst into loud sobs, “I want Sister to touch my hair too! Sister, touch Xiao Bao as well! Xiao Bao is a good boy!”
Mei Shu quickly put down her chopsticks and comforted him, “Okay, okay, I’ll touch Xiao Bao too, but Xiao Bao mustn’t cry anymore. If you cry again, Sister won’t like you!”
“Then Xiao Bao won’t cry,” Lu Si quickly stopped crying and opened his mouth, waiting for Mei Shu to continue feeding him.
After waiting for him to eat his fill, Mei Shu gave both of them lollipops and instructed Mei Yan to watch over Xiao Bao while she went to take a shower.
As she lay in the bathtub, Mei Shu thought of Lu Si’s behavior earlier and couldn’t help but burst into laughter!
Who would have thought that the man who ruled the business world had such a childish side?
As Lu Si’s highly paid nanny, Mei Shu certainly didn’t mind. In fact, she was delighted to know that she would soon receive a substantial paycheck.
Worried that she had been away for too long and that the two kids might cause trouble, Mei Shu hurriedly finished her bath and put on her pajamas. To her surprise, when she came out, she saw the two of them huddled together, whispering to each other.
Mei Shu strained her ears to listen and heard Mei Yan sternly correcting, “You wrote it wrong again! It’s not written like this here!”
With that, Mei Yan snatched the pencil from Lu Si’s hand and carefully wrote the characters “Xiao Bao” on a piece of paper, showing it to him. “See, it should be written like this. Why are you so dumb?”
Lu Si sobbed, “Big brother, don’t be so mean. Xiao Bao can’t learn it! It’s too hard! Xiao Bao doesn’t want to learn to write anymore!”
Mei Yan looked at him with a troubled expression, suddenly understanding why his teachers had looked so frustrated when he was learning to write Chinese characters.
Mei Shu approached them with a smile and reached out to help Mei Yan comb his hair. “Alright, you should go back to your room and rest for the night. I’ll take care of it here.”
Mei Yan responded with an “Okay” and seemed to still be immersed in the painful memories of being forced to learn how to write characters.
However, as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned back. “Sister, is he going to sleep with you tonight? Are you two going to share a bed?”
Mei Shu was also troubled by this.
While Lu Si’s mental age was still younger than Mei Yan’s, he had the body of an adult male. If it were known that they were sharing a bed, it would be hard to explain.
Mei Yan saw his sister’s dilemma and volunteered, “You can let him sleep in my room!”
He had never had a little brother before, and he quite liked Lu Si. He didn’t mind sharing his big bed with him.
However, Lu Si was strongly against this arrangement.
He simply clung to Mei Shu’s arm and refused to let go. “I want to sleep with Sister! Go away. 1 don’t want you!”
Mei Yan’s anger flared up, and the veins on his forehead bulged. “She’s my sister! Why do you have the right to cling to her like this?”
Was that the real issue?
Mei Shu, caught between the two of them, massaged her temples.
She looked down at the stubbornly clinging Lu Si, whom no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn’t move.
At this moment, the only thing that set this man apart from a child was his physical strength.
On the other side, Mei Yan also glared at Lu Si with frustration, and their eyes met in the air, sparking a heated exchange.
Mei Shu intervened between the two, decisively gesturing toward Mei Yan, “You should go back for now and get some rest tonight. 1’11 handle this myself.”
Seeing Lu Si’s demeanor, if she forcibly sent him to Mu Yan’s room, she was afraid that the two of them would make a huge commotion. If Wang Yue and Mei Yun found out that she had hidden a man in her room, it wouldn’t be a trivial matter.
So, after much consideration, she believed it would be safer to keep Lu Si in her room, where she could keep an eye on him herself..
