When they arrived at the special school, it was dinner time inside.
Many children sat at the cafeteria tables, holding their bowls and quietly eating their food.
Only Mei He sat alone in a corner, staring at his bowl with a fixed gaze, but he didn’t make a move to eat.
Mei Shu felt sorry for him and couldn’t help but walk over, crouching down beside him and patting his head. “Mei He, why aren’t you eating?”
Mei He turned his head slightly and looked at her with a puzzled expression for a while. Then, his pitch-black eyes suddenly lit up. “Sis… sister?”
“It’s me, Mei He, you’re such a good boy.” She gently stroked his hair and, with his consent, picked up his bowl, feeding him herself.
Mei He only opened his mouth to eat when she offered him food.
Lu Si watched quietly from the side and pulled up a chair to sit down. He asked, “The first time we met, you came to see him, right?”
“Yes,” Mei Shu lowered her gaze, concealing the tears that welled up in her eyes. “My younger brother has autism. Last time when 1 came to see him, the school’s teachers told me he had run away on his own. On my way to find him, 1 unexpectedly met you.”
Lu Si nodded. “I know quite a few experts who specialize in this field. If you’re willing, 1 can arrange for you to meet them.”
“Really?” Mei Shu raised her head suddenly, looking at Lu Si with disbelief. “If there’s a chance to cure my younger brother, I’m willing to spend any amount of money.”
Lu Si smiled, “You don’t need to worry about the cost. I can help you make the arrangements, and when the time is set, you can bring your brother over.” “That’s wonderful, Ah Si. You’re doing me a huge favor!” AAei Shu was genuinely grateful.
From the moment she met this person until now, he had been helping her. Even if it was to entrust her with taking care of his second personality, he would pay her extra afterward.
He never owed her anything.
But she had already been helped by him too much.
“All Si, even though i don’t know why you’re so kind to me, I believe that people should treat each other equally. You’ve helped me so much; let me take care of Xiao Bao from now on in return. I won’t take your money anymore. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask,” Mei Shu said sincerely.
Lu Si was momentarily stunned by her words, and he found himself inexplicably lost in thought, staring at her face.
She asked him why he was being so good to her.
But he asked himself, and even he didn’t know why.
He wasn’t a good person by nature, but when faced with Mei Shu’s distressed expression, he couldn’t help but want to do something.
At first, he attributed his attention to her as a form of bribery.
He had to keep the secret of his second personality from leaking out at all costs.
He was willing to use money to silence her, so when he discovered that her candy had a soothing effect on his condition, he chose without hesitation to buy her off with money, making it impossible for her to reveal the truth to the outside world.
But gradually, things had changed.
His repeated actions had made him form a habit.
Whenever he saw that she needed help, he couldn’t stand idly by.
But he wasn’t fundamentally a warm-hearted person.
Seeing that Lu Si hadn’t spoken for a long time, Mei Shu thought he might find her insincere, so she added, “We are friends now. As long as you need my help, 1 won’t refuse.”
“Alright.” Lu Si regained his composure and looked at her firmly. “I’ll remember your promise. If there’s a chance in the future, 1’11 let you repay the favor.”
Hearing him say that, Mei Shu sighed in relief. “That’s great. You probably haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Let me treat you to a meal.”
The two of them first finished Mei He’s meal. After sending Mei He to the dormitory, they left the school.
They went to the same club as before, ordered their dishes, and then Mei Shu suddenly remembered something. “How is the police investigation going? Have they found any evidence related to Mei Mu?”
Lu Si poured tea for himself and her, and said, “Didn’t the Lin family come to me for help last time?”
He was referring to the incident when Fu Niao and Lin Chen came to visit the Lu family.
Mei Shu nodded. “I remember. I guess Uncle Lu didn’t agree, did he?”
“With me around, how could my brother possibly agree?” Lu Si smiled triumphantly. “Don’t worry, Lin Feng is recovering well now. Although he can’t be discharged yet, he can answer questions normally. As long as Lin Feng isn’t a fool, he will definitely reveal that Mei Mu was behind his actions. Otherwise, his crimes would be too great.”
Mei Shu smiled knowingly. “It looks like the video we recorded will soon come in handy.”
Lu Si nodded, “You can send me that video, and i’ll have Jiang He handle it. After all, you’re a girl, and you shouldn’t be involved in these matters. If it really gets traced back to you, it could affect your reputation.”
“Don’t worry, my skills are even beyond F’s expectations!” Mei Shu was confident that she could disseminate the video online without anyone discovering her involvement..
