“Xiao Bao loves Sister’s candy the most. Sister, can you give Xiao Bao some candy? It’s been a long time since I had any candy!”
As Lu Si spoke, he even tugged at Mei Shu’s sleeve, his long, narrow eyes shining as if they were filled with tiny specks of light.
His lips turned downwards, looking pitiful, a stark contrast to his domineering attitude when they were alone just moments ago.
The soft and sweet touch of his lips made Mei Shu belatedly realize that this man had probably secretly eaten candy before coming to the bar to find her.
Otherwise, how could his mouth be so sweet?
“Sister?” Xiao Bao approached with confusion, peering into her complex eyes.
Mei Shu quickly pushed all inappropriate thoughts out of her mind, and as he got closer, she even felt that intrusive scent again. She deliberately pushed him away forcefully and, before he could start crying, she stuffed a peeled lollipop into his mouth.
The sweet taste instantly melted in his mouth.
Lu Si’s eyes narrowed into slits in delight.
When Jiang He returned and saw Lu Si clinging to Mei Shu’s hand in the car, he sighed deeply, “Thank goodness Miss Mei was here tonight. Otherwise, 1 would have had a headache trying to bring him back from the police station.”
“You’re a bad person!” As soon as Lu Si saw him, he tensed up and kept hiding behind Mei Shu, avoiding Jiang He.
Jiang He gave a helpless smile, “The second personality of Master Si really doesn’t like me, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“Have you not received specific training on how to treat patients from a professional doctor?” Mei Shu looked disapprovingly at Jiang He, who had already sat in the driver’s seat, preparing to drive.
He scratched his head and said, “I’ve been trained, but Mr. Si just won’t listen to me. So, sometimes, in order to avoid exposing Mr. Si’s condition, I have to use some unconventional methods.”
Fortunately, ever since Mr. Si met Miss Mei, the frequency of his illness onset had decreased significantly, and as long as Mei Shu was there, he became exceptionally well-behaved, so Jiang He didn’t have to worry too much.
However, given the situation tonight, it seemed that Miss Mei might not want to deal with Mr. Si’s affairs anymore.
So, what had happened between them?
Jiang He wanted to ask but didn’t dare to, so he continued driving while softening his tone. He subtly advised, “It seems that Master Si is still most attentive to Miss Mei. Miss Mei, you may not know this, but ever since Master Si met you, he has been very concerned about your affairs, whether he’s unwell or not. If you ever need any assistance, Master Si will make time to help you, no matter how busy he may be.”
Mei Shu understood everything he said.
But what she had done tonight was hardly about repaying his kindness.
Mei Shu sighed and said, “You don’t need to say any more. Tonight, I will definitely take good care of him. As for tomorrow, after he regains consciousness, I hope you’ll honor the agreement between us.”
Jiang He fell silent at her resolute words. He swiftly drove the car to Mei’s home, ensuring that both of them had entered the house before departing.
The commotion caused that evening was significant, and he had to ensure that certain people kept quiet.
Once inside the house, a small figure rushed into Mei Shu’s arms, saying, “Sister, you’re finally back! Dad won’t be coming home tonight. There’s a math problem I can’t solve, but Brother refused to explain it to me!”
Mei Shu was speechless, wondering if her two younger brothers had gotten into another argument. To her surprise, she found out that after returning from the bar tonight, Mei Jing had locked himself in his room and hadn’t even had dinner.
Mei Shu was concerned and temporarily entrusted Lu Si to Mei Yan’s care. “Take him to your room for now. Don’t let him wander around, and don’t let him eat anything. I’ll go upstairs to check on your brother.”
“Big sister, why did you bring this swindler home again?” Mei Yan looked somewhat troubled as soon as he saw Lu Si.
The last time, this person had insisted on staying in her sister’s room and even wanted to sleep with her. What was her sister doing with such a shameless con artist?
“He has mental issues. Yanyan, you’re older than him. You should take good care of this younger brother.” Mei Shu soothingly touched his head and hurriedly went upstairs.
Upon entering her bedroom, it was quiet, with only the sound of a pen scratching against paper.
The young man sitting under the desk lamp heard the noise and furrowed his brows. “Mei Yan, didn’t I tell you not to disturb me? 1 have to finish this set of test papers today, or I won’t sleep tonight!”
“Why the sudden motivation?” Mei Shu smiled with warmth.
Her voice was gentle and calm, but it somehow made Mei Jing feel uneasy, causing him to write a wrong character.
He put down the pen, looked over, and said with resignation, “Sis, didn’t I promise to be a real man for you? So, I’ve decided to start studying seriously from now on.. The teacher assigned a lot of homework today, and I wasted some time at the bar, so I need to make the most of every second now!”
