Chapter 155: Refuse Face to Face
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Shu was exhausted and simply turned off the lights, lying in her place, facing away from Lu Si, closing her eyes to sleep.
But suddenly, there was an unfamiliar breath beside her, and even if she tried to ignore it, she couldn’t deny that she was now wide awake.
Annoyed, she turned around, wanting to give the man sleeping next to her a stern look. However, when she turned her head, she found herself looking directly into his eyes that were so bright even in the darkness.
Mei Shu was startled, her heart beating faster. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Aren’t you awake too?” Lu Si’s expression was calm, and his black eyes stared at her without any restraint.
Mei Shu closed her eyes angrily. “I’m going to sleep now. Don’t stare at me like that. Your gaze makes it hard to sleep.”
“Close your eyes, and then you won’t feel anything,” Lu Si replied confidently.
Mei Shu said coldly, “I can close my eyes, but I’m not dead. If you can’t sleep, you can go back to your own home quietly while it’s late at night.”
Lu Si raised an eyebrow and said, “Aren’t you afraid of someone finding me?”
Mei Shu fell silent.
She was indeed afraid of that!
Forget it! If he wanted to watch, then let him watch! She wouldn’t lose anything anyway!
Thinking like this, Mei Shu actually relaxed and gradually fell asleep.
As Lu Si listened to her breathing becoming lighter, a faint smile appeared on his lips. “You relax your guard so easily, you silly girl.”
The next day, when Mei Shu woke up, the place next to her was already empty.
Lu Si had left Mei’s house at some point.
Well, it was better this way, so as not to cause her unnecessary trouble.
She got herself ready and went to school.
Today, the school was conducting a unified test before the final exams to assess the students’ current review status.
Mei Shu was confident about this exam. After all, she had been working hard for so long and was eager to see the results of her efforts.
However, just as she arrived at the classroom door, she unexpectedly bumped into Li Zhen, who was posing against the corridor wall.
Ignoring him, Mei Shu walked straight into the classroom, but her arm was suddenly grabbed by him.
“Let go.” Mei Shu glared at him with a bad expression.
Li Zhen was taken aback by her cold gaze and reluctantly let go, saying, “I didn’t mean anything. 1 just worry that you might be nervous for today’s exam, so 1 came to cheer you up.”
As if afraid that his reason was too weak, Li Zhen even performed a magic trick from behind and took out a bracelet. “This is a lucky charm that can ensure you get the desired good results in this exam. Would you like me to put it on for you?”
Mei Shu sneered and took a big step back, keeping some distance from him. She said coldly and indifferently, “Li Zhen, this trick won’t work on me, and I don’t need to rely on superstition to comfort myself. Goodbye.”
“Mei Shu!” Li Zhen hurriedly called out to her, looking at her figure that was now distant and unfriendly. His face turned ugly as he asked, “What have I done to offend you? Why do you get along so well with Lu Yan, while feeling annoyed just talking to me? If you really hate me so much, why did you come to provoke me in the first place?”
His voice was quite loud, echoing in the corridor. For a moment, all the students stopped and watched the scene.
Mei Shu turned around with a headache and said, “When did 1 provoke you? Li Zhen, you should have evidence for your words. Just because I don’t want your things, it doesn’t give you the right to insult me.”
Since Li Zhen wanted to make a big deal out of it and use public opinion to overpower her, Mei Shu decided to be straightforward about it.
In her previous life, she had been despised by everyone. How could she feel burdened by such a small scene in this life?
What a joke!
Li Zhen clearly didn’t expect her to really fall out with him. Feeling that his dignity was being trampled on by her, his face turned pale and ugly. “Okay, you said it! Let’s wait and see!”
This jerk finally gave up.
Mei Shu felt relieved.
She hadn’t forgotten how this man betrayed her in her previous life. She didn’t settle scores with him because she was too busy to do anything for the time being. If he knew his limits and retreated, she could ignore him.
But if he still caused her trouble, he could only be the next Mei Mu!
This little interlude before the exam didn’t affect the exam at all.
Mei Shu was a fast test-taker, leaving nearly half an hour of spare time in almost every exam.
It was boring to sit and daydream, so she simply lay on the desk and took a nap.
This action made the invigilators and fellow students in the same exam room shake their heads.
Of course, they wouldn’t think that Mei Shu had mastered everything before answering so quickly. They would only think that Mei Shu was so weak that he couldn’t even write blindly.
The teachers and students who had started to have a good opinion of Mei Shu were now showing signs of reduced favor.
After all, this was a prestigious high school where academic performance was paramount.
Even if she played the piano well, in the eyes of the students, she couldn’t compare to those who excelled academically.
This was also why Lu Yan was always treated like a god.
The day of exams came to an end.
Mei Shu stretched and walked out of the examination room when someone patted her shoulder..
