Chapter 14
Mei Shu replied confidently, “If I lose, I’ll agree to one of your requests. As long as it doesn’t violate the laws and morals, I’ll do as you say.”
Mei Yan was also very straightforward. “No problem. If I lose, I also promise you such a request!”
After reaching an agreement, they solemnly created a written document, with two identical copies, and signed it with their handprints.
The more formal the agreement appeared, the more seriously Mei Yan would take it. Mei Shu smiled triumphantly.
With this incident, Mei Yan became much more active in his homework. If he didn’t know how to do it, he would even take the initiative to flip through the textbooks and try to self-learn.
Mei Shu had too many notes to copy. In the two days of the weekend, she only spent a total of eight hours eating, washing up, and sleeping. The rest of the time, she was in Mei Yan’s room, copying the notes.
Due to the existence of the bet and Mei Shu’s subtle influence, Mei Yan suddenly felt pressured when he saw Mei Shu studying non-stop. He shortened the time he spent watching cartoons. He was not even that interested in the comic books that Wang Yue had specially gotten someone to buy for him.
After all, Mei Yan was also a person who cared about his face. If both of them lost the bet, he didn’t care. However, if Mei Shu won, where would his dignity as a man be?!
After thinking for a long time, Mei Yan decided to fight for his dignity and try his best to keep up with Mei Shu’s learning pace.
Mei Shu successfully finished copying at half past eleven on Sunday. The siblings yawned and said goodbye to each other.
The system was also very sensible and didn’t accept any missions on the weekends.
Mei Shu returned Chen Hao’s books on Monday and made an appointment with him to borrow the notes for the remaining three subjects during lunch break and after school every day.
“Wow, Mei Mu, you have eyebrows tattooed?!”
“Oh my god, you’re wearing fake eyelashes? They’re so long and perky. They’re so beautiful!”
Lincheng No. 1 High School was a key school in the city.Although there was no explicit prohibition on female students’ behaviors such as perming, dyeing, and makeup, students who could get admitted here would consciously focus on their studies. Moreover, most parents had strict management over their underage children and regarded dressing up as an adult behavior.
Eyebrow tattooing and wearing fake eyelashes belonged to this category. Children always yearned for the world of adults. The essence of yearning for maturity was to yearn for the freedom to make their own decisions.
Therefore, when Mei Mu was discovered by the three lackeys, she immediately attracted the attention of many students.
“Mei Mu, it’s only been a few days since we last met. Why do I feel that you’ve become much prettier? Did you get your hair done? I remember that your hair is naturally curly.”
Mei Mu enjoyed the feeling of being watched by everyone, but she was also worried that her wig would be noticed or accidentally knocked off. When she saw a classmate curiously picking up a strand of her hair and examining it closely, her heart was pounding. She gently took it back and said, “There’s nothing special about it. I just straightened my hair. It’s still my original hair.”
“Mei Mu, with this outfit, your position as the school belle is even more solidified! But you’re really bold. Do your parents know about this?”
Mei Mu raised her head proudly. “Of course, my parents always fulfill my requests and spoil me. I originally planned to do this after the college entrance exam, but when they found out, they said it wouldn’t make much of a difference to wait a few months. My thoughts are the most important, so they arranged for someone to come over and do these things for me on the weekend.””
As soon as these words were spoken, some people who couldn’t stand Mei Mu’s bragging rolled their eyes and ignored her, while others expressed their envy. Mei Mu even received appreciative glances from many male classmates.
“Your parents are too good. I’m so envious!”
“Mei Mu, look at you. You’re beautiful, your family is well-off, and your parents dote on you. You’re simply a little princess in reality!”
Mei Mu looked at Mei Shu, who had just entered, and hatred flashed across her eyes.
Mei Mu was quite pretty, but compared to Mei Shu, she fell short by a lot. Even though Mei Shu was abandoned in the countryside for so many years, she still outshined her by far.
Mei Shu thought about how they were only two months apart in age, yet Mei Shu had enjoyed the life of a young lady of the Mei family for 12 years. While Mei Shu was thriving in high society, she and her mother had to hide in the luxurious apartment her father had purchased and dared not show their faces in public. Mei Mu had long made up her mind that the first thing she would do upon entering the Mei family was to take away everything from Mei Shu.
Mei Shu noticed that someone was looking at him. She looked up and saw Mei Mu, who was complacently standing in the crowd. The corners of Mei Shu’s mouth curled up slightly. She hoped that Mei Mu could set up the scene more securely so that the contrast caused by her exposure would be more significant!
After all, fish were fattened before being killed. Mei Shu decided to let Mei Mu wear these props for a few more days.
