Mei Shu shook her head and handed over the painting. She said, “1 just want to say that what you’re doing now isn’t making things difficult for me; you’re only making it difficult for Lu Si. You should understand his personality better than I do.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ting coldly took the painting from her hands. Tears suddenly welled up in his cloudy eyes, but he concealed them well, maintaining the last bit of dignity without letting Mei Shu notice.
“Return to the rightful owner. Then I’ll leave first,” Mei Shu said indifferently before directly walking away.
Lu Ting hadn’t expected this girl to say so much and then simply return the painting to him so easily.
Based on his understanding of those who were only interested in profit, she should have taken advantage of this opportunity to negotiate terms with him.
But Mei Shu did nothing.
However, Lu Ting wasn’t so easily swayed by her actions either.
He returned to wearing that sour expression and got into the car expressionlessly.
Jiang He didn’t come back to drive for quite some time,
and the old man was suddenly angry. He opened the car window and vented outside, “Jiang He! Are you dead? Hurry up and come over to drive us home!”
His shout made the people around, who were about to get into their cars, stop in their tracks. Subconsciously, they felt like the old man was scolding them.
When they realized that the old man was only venting his anger at their family driver, they breathed a sigh of relief.
What happened at the auction today was too unusual. Since the old man was in a bad mood now, they had to tread carefully.
It wasn’t until the Lu family’s car drove away that the oppressive atmosphere lingering over the parking lot finally dissipated.
Mei Shu and Lu Si didn’t rush to go back. They walked slowly along the path under the streetlights, hand in hand, allowing their shadows to grow longer behind them.
“Do you know a lot about Grandpa’s past?” Lu Si asked casually.
Mei Shu didn’t intend to hide it from him and nodded, saying, “1 know some, but not the details.”
Lu Si said, “Grandpa used to have a girl he really liked. 1 heard about it when I was very young, but he never talked about her to us. In my memory, he and Grandma have always been respectful to each other, a model couple in their circle. Later, Grandma found out about that person and had a big argument with Grandpa. After that, nobody dared to mention it again.”
He tightened his grip on Mei Shu’s hand, his eyes always fixed on the road ahead, as he continued in a calm tone, “So, how do you know so much? ”
Finally being asked this question, Mei Shu’s breath stalled, and she looked evasive, “I found out myself. You know, 1 learned a lot of hacking techniques from F.”
Lu Si stopped in his tracks, and his leather shoes made a crisp sound as they hit the ground. Then, the owner of those feet suddenly turned around. Under the dim streetlights, even the indistinct silhouette softened.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” Mei Shu also turned to look at him, meeting his deep, smiling eyes. She felt uneasy, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Shu’er,” Lu Si’s tone carried an indescribable joy, “when did you regain your memory?”
The gentle breeze of early summer swept by, lifting Mei Shu’s long hair, covering her face filled with astonishment.
Lu Si raised his hand and gently tucked her hair behind her ear, taking a step closer until they were almost touching. He asked again, “When did you regain your memory, hmm?”
Mei Shu opened her mouth to lie, but looking into Lu Si’s eyes, which had long seen through everything, she could only regretfully swallow her words.
Damn it, she was careless.
After losing her memory, Lu Si did take her to F once, but F didn’t teach her any hacking techniques at the time. She only did some system work. If she was still in a state of amnesia, she wouldn’t know that she had learned these techniques from F, nor would she confidently say, “Lu Si knows.” She wouldn’t have said that.
“Shu’er, you’ve learned to keep secrets from me, huh?” Lu Si held her face, making her meet his eyes, not letting go of any emotions hidden in her gaze.
Mei Shu pouted in dissatisfaction, “I didn’t deliberately hide it from you. I accidentally bumped my head at the coming-of-age ceremony, and my memory inexplicably returned. At that time, I couldn’t contact you, and later, 1 forgot to mention it.”
“Oh?” Lu Si deliberately dragged out his tone, “So, even though you’ve regained your memory, you still want me to be your boyfriend, right? Now isn’t the time when you were deceived by me.”
Mei Shu angrily pulled his hand down and glared at him, “You’re too cunning.”
Lu Si seemed pleased with himself, “It seems that my Shu’er really likes me.”
Mei Shu blushed and glared at him.
The atmosphere between the two was romantic, but Lu Si suddenly changed the subject, his face becoming more serious. “So, Shu’er, you’re a reincarnated person, right? You were killed by Mei Mu in your previous life, weren’t you?”
Mei Shu hadn’t expected him to care so much about this.. She couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Is the answer to this question really that important?”
