Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Yan picked up the paper on the table and handed it to Mei Shu. “Sis, take a look at the last multiple-choice question. 1 don’t even know how to do it, and he managed to solve it. Don’t you think he’s pretending?”
Mei Shu lowered her head to glance at the question.
For her, this question required no thought, but for Lu Si, whose intelligence was only at a young child’s level, it should be relatively difficult.
“Xiao Bao, tell Sister, how did you manage to solve this question?” Mei Shu gently stroked his head, trying to comfort him.
She didn’t suspect that the current Lu Si was pretending. After all, the man wouldn’t do something as humiliating as crying because he was being bullied by a child.
Lu Si seemed genuinely comforted and hesitated as he explained, “Sis, Little Treasure has studied math questions before!”
Mei Shu was genuinely surprised by this. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help asking, “You’ve studied? Who taught you?”
“Grandpa taught me!” Lu Si proudly lifted his head.
“But, Xiao Bao hasn’t seen Grandpa for a long time…” He was referring to his grandfather in the capital. He indeed hadn’t seen his grandfather for a long time since he decided to come to Lin City for recuperation.
Mei Shu could see that he looked like he was about to cry, so she quickly handed him a lollipop. “Xiao Bao, let’s go have dinner now. After you finish eating, Sister will put you to bed.”
“Alright!” Lu Si obediently followed her. He held the candy in his hand, smiled sweetly, and was led out by Mei Shu.
Just before leaving, Lu Si’s eyes flickered as he suddenly turned around. He cast a sly smile toward Mei Yan, who was clearly being ignored behind him.
Mei Yan was furious. He gritted his teeth and stomped behind him. Then, as soon as the door closed, he angrily slammed the test paper on the table and continued to write.
Butler had already sent the food to Mei Shu’s room.
She led Lu Si in and asked him to wash his hands before asking him to sit at the table and feed him personally.
Lu Si chewed up the lollipop and swallowed it in one go. Just as he opened his mouth and stuck his head out to eat the food on the spoon, in the blink of an eye, his originally clear and clean eyes became deep and somber.
The flash of light in his mind faded away, and Lu Si suddenly woke up.
He looked at Mei Shu, who was now very close to him, not yet understanding the situation. However, he still ate the food she offered, seemingly unfazed.
“Xiao Bao is so well-behaved.” Mei Shu hadn’t noticed anything unusual yet. She patted his head and scooped up a spoonful of food to offer him, as gentle as a loving mother.
Lu Si was momentarily distracted but quickly covered it up. After swallowing a mouthful of food, he chewed slowly and smiled, “Sis, the food you feed is really delicious.”
Mei Shu looked at him indulgently. “Xiao Bao, eat more if you like it.”
Lu Si lowered his head in deep thought. When Mei Shu fed him again, he suddenly reached out and pushed the spoon away. In a low voice, he said, “Sis should eat too.”
Mei Shu wore a face of contentment and said, “Good boy, sister will wait for you to finish before eating!”
Lu Si stopped talking and lowered his eyes to eat every spoonful of food Mei Shu fed him seriously.
He chewed very slowly, because only in this way could he delay their rare warm time.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he coveted her gentleness, his bowl was gradually emptied.
A touch of regret flashed in his eyes. When he looked up again, Lu Si’s eyes were full of anticipation. “Sister, Xiao Bao wants to take a shower.”
Mei Shu didn’t feel anything wrong. After quickly finishing the meal, she took his hand and said, “I’ll take you to the little brother just now and ask him to take you to bathe.”
“No.” Lu Si stared at her with a serious expression, gently shaking his head. “Xiao Bao wants to bathe with Sister.”
“No, you can’t.” This time, Mei Shu was adamant. However, when she saw the sad expression on Lu Si’s face, she quickly explained, “Xiao Bao is a boy and can only bathe with boys.”
Lu Si blinked at her as if he didn’t understand. “Why?”
Mei Shu felt a headache coming on.
It was very important to popularize knowledge in this aspect. Mei Shu wouldn’t hesitate to teach the concept of gender differences to a little boy who knew nothing about it.
But the problem was, at this moment, she was facing an adult man’s body. This made her unable to say many things and had to put on a stern face, saying, “If I say no, it’s no. If you don’t listen, Xiao Bao, then Sister won’t like you anymore!”
“No, no, Xiao Bao will listen,” Lu Si quickly replied, trying to be compliant.
Mei Shu was finally satisfied and led him out.
The warmth of the large hand in her palm gradually increased, and Mei Shu had a moment of doubt, but she eventually brushed it aside.
Mei Yan, upon hearing the task given to him by his sister, had a grim expression, and someone who didn’t know might think Lu Si owed him money.
He cast a disdainful glance at Lu Si and reluctantly led him into his bathroom.
Mei Shu, temporarily free from Lu Si, returned to her room and immediately called Jiang He. She asked him to arrange for Lu Si to leave as soon as possible, but there was no response from the other end..
