Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Si put down the book in his hands and looked up. He saw a girl happily running towards him with a sweet smile on her face.
His lips subconsciously wanted to lift into a smile, but he suppressed it firmly, adopting a cold and distant tone, “I’m not Xiao Bao. You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
Mei Shu stopped about a meter away from him, looking surprised as she scrutinized Lu Si up and down. Finally, her gaze fell on the untranslated English book in his hands, and suddenly she understood something.
“Is your illness cured?”
Lu Si pressed his lips tightly, ignoring her question. Instead, he asked, “What kind of candy did you give me last time?”
In the recent times when Lu Si had episodes, the duration had greatly shortened. Every time he woke up, he would find a lollipop in his mouth. What was most important was that he had never seen the packaging of that candy before, and he couldn’t buy it anywhere.
He felt that his improved condition might be related to that candy.
This time he specifically asked her to come for this reason.
Mei Shu hesitated for a moment, obviously not expecting that to be his concern. She quickly exchanged a lollipop with some points and handed it to him, saying, “I made this myself. Do you like it?”
Lu Si took it and carefully examined it in his hand for a while. Just as he was about to nod, he suddenly thought of something. When he raised his eyes, he indeed caught a flash of disbelief in Mei Shu’s eyes.
The words he was about to say got stuck in his throat, and he emotionlessly put the candy back into her hand. “Only kids like candy. I’m not Xiao Bao now, so you don’t need to give me candy.”
Was he implying that when he was Xiao Bao, she had to give him candy?
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow. This man seemed to have brought her here for the purpose of implying her to give him candy whenever he had an episode.
Mei Shu found it incredible, but there was nothing she couldn’t agree to. She nodded readily and said, “Alright, then I’ll give this candy to you when you need it. I’m very patient with patients. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you.” Lu Si sincerely thanked her and then pointed to an empty seat across from him. “Have a seat.”
Mei Shu sat down compliantly and asked, “Is there anything else?”
Lu Si said, “My assistant told me that during these episodes, I would insist on finding you. Why don’t we exchange contact information? This way, it’ll save us a lot of trouble in the future.”
Mei Shu felt a little troubled by this.
From what he was saying, it seemed like his assistant intended to leave him to her to take care of every time he had an episode.
Thinking this way, Mei Shu tactfully asked, “Is the interval between your episodes long? Isn’t there any other way to control your condition at home?”
Lu Si:”…” He seemed to sense a trace of reluctance in her words.
After a moment of silence, he explained, “The time of occurrence is not fixed, so there is no way to constantly keep watch. If you feel that it will bother you, I can pay you a fee.”
Huh? Paying money?
That could be negotiated.
Mei Shu coughed lightly and asked, “How much are you willing to pay?”
Lu Si’s eyes held a trace of amusement. “One hundred thousand each time, consider it a thank-you for taking care of me.”
“Deal!” Mei Shu was quite satisfied with his generosity.
In her eyes, this man was no longer a troublesome occasional patient. He had become her financier.
It was like he was rushing to give her money!
She quickly exchanged social media accounts with Lu Si.
Lu Si was content and said, “You can go now. I’ll have my assistant take you back.”
Mei Shu smiled brightly, “No need for that trouble. I can go back on my own! See you next time!”
Seeing her expectant expression, Lu Si’s mood inexplicably improved, “Alright, see you next time.”
Mei Shu happily returned to the class’ gathering spot.
Lu Yan had been looking for her for a while, and now he finally saw her return, relieved, “Where did you go? 1 looked everywhere for you, afraid you got lost in the woods.”
“Just strolling around.” Mei Shu smirked. By now, all the shady spots were already taken by others, and everyone had laid out their snacks on the tablecloth.
Lu Yan explained, “I’ve reserved a spot. Come with me.”
He led Mei Shu to a place under a tree, close to the cliff edge, but with good protective railings, so there was no need to worry about falling off. Instead, they had a better view of the unique scenery.
It was indeed a good place.
Lu Yan laid out the snacks he had just bought on the tablecloth and said, “You said you were hungry earlier, so go ahead and eat. They are all the snacks you used to love eating when you were young!”
Mei Shu’s eyes flickered slightly as distant memories with a hint of musty smell suddenly resurfaced in her mind.
She remembered that she used to love these snacks the most when she was little, but her mother, Bai Ling, always forbade her from eating them. So whenever she craved them, she would sneak into Lu Yan’s room, hide in his wardrobe, and secretly eat them.
Later, when Lu Yan found out that he had unknowingly raised a gluttonous hamster in his wardrobe, he burst into laughter and pulled her out, sitting her in front of the dining table and allowing her to eat openly.
“I won’t tell Aunt Bai.”
The petite boy solemnly promised her, then proceeded to eat most of her snacks, calling it a confidentiality fee..
