Mei Shu couldn’t help but frown.
Lu Si glanced in her direction and his smile disappeared instantly. “S, if you keep making noise, I’ll declare you the loser and you won’t need to compete with her.”
Upon hearing this, the teacher and student, who had been arguing incessantly, finally noticed the two people standing at the door.
F, the hacker who had a stern look, instantly brightened up when he saw Mei Shu. His eyes were filled with longing for his beloved disciple. “Shu’er, you’ve finally come. Hurry up and help me teach this brat a lesson; otherwise, he’ll become uncontrollable!”
Mei Shu walked into the room with an amused smile. She greeted F politely before curiously asking, “What were you all talking about just now?”
F said proudly, “I was telling this brat that in just a few days, your skills have already surpassed his. He didn’t believe me, so I called him here to compete against you. If you win, he’ll have to work for me for a month for free!”
S immediately walked over, looking displeased. He glared at Mei Shu and said, “What if she loses?”
“Shu’er won’t lose,” F stated confidently about the outcome of the upcoming competition.
This made S even more frustrated. “No, if we’re going to compete, then you all should agree on a wager!”
Mei Shu smiled, “If 1 lose, I’ll help you complete the project you’re currently working on for free. How does that sound?”
“It’s a deal!” S agreed enthusiastically, fearing that Mei Shu might change her mind later.
He had originally planned to teach Mei Shu this skill, but he hadn’t expected his teacher to beat him to it.
Now, Mei Shu was offering herself willingly.
And he wasn’t about to let this free labor opportunity slip away!
Lu Si had been calmly observing their argument from the sidelines.
After Mei Shu and the others settled on the terms, she took the initiative to approach him. “So, this is what you urgently needed to discuss with me?”
“Not exactly,” Lu Si replied casually, setting down his teacup. “There’s another important reason.”
“What is it?” Mei Shu asked, puzzled.
Lu Si lowered his gaze, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face. “1 wanted to see you.”
His voice was so soft that Mei Shu initially thought that the words that quickly dissipated into the air were just her illusion.
However, when she examined the emotions behind Lu Si’s statement, she saw a big smile on his face.
Mei Shu’s face instantly turned crimson, and she, who was usually articulate, suddenly found herself stammering. “Y-you, don’t joke around. If you have something serious to discuss, just say it. 1’11 help if 1 can.”
“This is a serious matter,” Lu Si replied with conviction.
Mei Shu was left speechless.
In addition to the argument between the master and disciple, she could hear her own heart beating like a drum in her ears.
Damn it, sometimes having such good hearing was not a good thing!
She suddenly felt flustered, and just as she didn’t know what to do, Jiang He entered the room and announced, “Mr. Si, Mr. Lu has requested your presence.”
The two people who had been bickering inside immediately fell silent.
Only someone as close as Master Si’s older brother, Lu Li, could be addressed as “Mr. Lu” in front of him.
It seemed that he had something very important to discuss with Master Si.
Lu Si stood up and said, “I’ll be right back. Wait here and don’t wander off.”
Mei Shu blushed as she agreed.
Why did he sound like he was admonishing a mischievous child?
Lu Si continued to gaze at the flushed face of Mei Shu for quite a while, even after Jiang He urged him. Finally, he tore his gaze away from her face and resumed his usual indifferent expression. “Let’s go.”
Jiang He felt like crying but had no tears.
He had a feeling that his earlier urging had made Master Si unhappy.
Lu Family’s villa, living room.
Lin Chen was trying hard to flatter Lu Li. “Back when we were still studying together, I regarded you as my role model. Now, after so many years have passed, 1 can only look up to you from afar. It’s clear that Mr. Lu’s abilities are exceptional and beyond comparison to someone like me.”
“You’re too modest,” Lu Li praised with a smile. “Miss Fu is so beautiful and is a talented student from a prestigious school. She undoubtedly has a bright future ahead.”
Fu Niao blushed shyly and responded, “Uncle Lu, you’re too kind. I have average abilities, but with your high expectations, 1’11 strive to study harder and not let you down.”
“Mr. Lu, Master Si has arrived.”
In the midst of the conversation, the butler happened to enter and report.
As the butler spoke, the confident Fu Niao suddenly became tense. Even before Lu Si had arrived, she was already feeling uneasy.
Lin Chen gave her a reassuring look and smiled, “My niece treats Master Si as her idol. Now that she’s about to meet him in person, it’s natural for her to feel a bit nervous.”
“I can understand,” Lu Li laughed heartily, but his heart grew colder.
The Lin family tried to get close to him, and it was one thing if they wanted to build a relationship. But they even dared to target All Si. It seemed like they were determined and wouldn’t give up easily..
