Chapter 181: Special Status

Before she could get up, her wrist was firmly gripped by a large hand.
Lu Si raised an eyebrow, his gaze seemingly amused as he stared at her. “Where are you going to sit?”
Mei Shu gestured to the nearby seat.
Right in front of everyone, Lu Si tugged Mei Shu forcefully towards him, drawing her closer. “You’ll sit here.”
An ambiguous atmosphere suddenly enveloped the two of them.
Mei Shu felt a bit uncomfortable and tried to free her wrist.
Fu Niao, on the other hand, was consumed by jealousy.
She had only witnessed Mei Shu’s efforts to please Lu Si earlier, but now she realized that Master Si was treating this woman differently as well.
However, it was evident that the two of them had not confirmed their relationship yet. Although she had arrived late, she still had a chance!
She cast a coy glance towards Lu Si, making a soft, pitiful sound that immediately drew everyone’s attention.
Mei Shu, the most concerned about her among the people present, immediately asked, “How do you feel? Are you feeling dizzy?”
Fu Niao clenched her teeth in secret, cursing Mei Shu for being so good at feigning kindness. While rubbing her forehead, her body swayed as she replied, “It seems like 1 am a bit dizzy. Can you come over and let me lean on you for a while?”
“Of course!”
Thinking that in front of so many people, Fu Niao wouldn’t simply lie down, Mei Shu quickly moved to sit beside her and generously allowed her to lean on her shoulder. “Don’t worry. I think your heatstroke isn’t too severe. Rest for a while, and you’ll be fine. If you need anything, just let me know.”
[Congratulations, your medical skill has advanced to the intermediate level, phase two.]
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected bonus?
Mei Shu realized that even if she didn’t practice medicine, simply caring for the sick could still improve her medical skill level.
This could save her a lot of trouble.
She didn’t aspire to become a renowned physician, but having an extra skill was always a good thing.
Who knew when it might come in handy?
Meanwhile, Lu Si’s gaze never left Mei Shu.
Fu Niao sat beside her and occasionally caught Lu Si’s eye.
This was Fu Niao’s goal.
Although she couldn’t compare to Mei Shu in Lu Si’s heart at the moment, as long as Master Si noticed her beauty, he would naturally pay more attention to her.
Men were visual creatures, and once they saw someone frequently, they would naturally have a place for them in their hearts. Then, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to take it to the next level.
For a moment, no one said anything.
F continued to type on the keyboard, but after a while, he suddenly slammed the table and smiled broadly. “S, you owe me a month’s work for free!”
With this statement, he declared victory.
S looked regretful. “I admit defeat; my skills aren’t on par.”
“What are you guys talking about?” Fu Niao curiously tried to join in on their conversation.
She could tell that these two men had a good relationship with Lu Si, so perhaps she could establish a connection with them first. Then, she could create more opportunities to get closer to Lu Si.
This might be a way to achieve her goals indirectly.
She had thought it through, but neither of the two men wanted to engage with her.
Most importantly, their identities were highly classified.
Only the members of the Lu family’s direct line knew their existence.
F and S were prominent figures in the hacker community, and they always kept their identities hidden in real life. It was even more true when they were faced with a woman with questionable intentions.
Earlier, F hadn’t elaborated on what had happened because of this.
Mei Shu quickly responded and tried to change the topic, “It’s nothing, just a small bet we made. Are you feeling better now?”
Does she fear that 1 would learn too much and encroach on her territory, so she wants to cut me out?
Fu Niao thought to herself with hatred, but on the surface, she smiled shyly. “Much better, thank you.”
She slowly lifted herself from Mei Shu’s shoulder. Before she could catch her breath, a glass of cold tea was brought to her lips.
Mei Shu smiled and said, “Drink up. It will help cool you down.”
“Thank you.” Fu Niao thanked her again and then glanced meaningfully at Lu
Si. “By the way, my name is Fu Niao, but you can call me Niaoniao.”
“Alright, I’ll remember that,” Mei Shu said as she watched Fu Niao’s face regain some color after she drank the tea.
However, her mental system didn’t give her another notification about a medical skill upgrade, indicating that not just any medical-related action would lead to a skill level increase.
Oh well, she thought, I’ll take it slow.
By now, it was getting dark outside, and Mei Shu was feeling a bit tired. She yawned and said, “I should head back now, Ah Si. No need to escort me. If you need anything, you can contact me anytime.”
“Okay,” Lu Si replied, standing up to see her off.
Little did he know that the other three people in the room were utterly shocked, unable to close their mouths.
What did Mei Shu call Master Si just now?
Ah Si?
Had they misheard?
Apart from Master Si’s elder brother, Lu Li, who had the privilege to address him informally, no one else had dared to be so presumptuous in front of Master Si for all these years.
But what was even more incredible was that Lu Si not only didn’t seem to mind but appeared to be enjoying it!
