Being scolded, Jiang He shut his mouth aggrievedly, but he couldn’t help sneaking glances at Lu Si.
That gaze was too blatant. It was difficult for Mei Shu not to notice it.
She followed Jiang He’s gaze and saw Lu Si’s red ears at a glance.
Was Lu Si angry because Jiang He had touched his sour spot?
Seeing that Lu Si’s gaze at Jiang He was getting more and more dangerous, Mei Shu couldn’t bear to let Jiang He, who had kindly reminded her, be targeted. Her brain cramped, and she immediately grabbed Lu Si’s hand and said, “Are you really worried about me? I’m very happy. Thank you for letting me know that there are still people who really care about me, Ah Si.”
In the silent car, someone’s heart was beating wildly.
Lu Si’s face turned red in an instant, like a boiling kettle. Steam could be vaguely seen above his head.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense.” He retracted his hand from Mei Shu’s palm and hid it in his sleeve. His fingertips subconsciously rubbed the place where Mei Shu had just touched.
Mei Shu didn’t expect the famous Master Si to have such an innocent side.
Mei Shu seemed to have discovered a new continent and continued to tease him curiously. “Then do you mean that you weren’t worried about me just now?” contemporary romance
She pretended to be disappointed and turned to look out of the car window, looking lonely and pitiful.
Lu Si felt his heart skip a beat, and his throat was dry. He hurriedly coughed and said, “It’s not like that. I actually…”
“Actually what?” Mei Shu pouted and looked at him pitifully.
Lu Si quickly averted their gaze and said awkwardly, “It’s good you’re okay. Don’t ask about anything else.”
Mei Shu was almost amused by his uneasy expression and had to hold back from laughing. “Huh? Why can’t I ask? I really want to know if what Jiang He said just now is true.”
Lu Si’s gaze was flustered, and they shot a fierce glare at Jiang He, who seemed to be taking pleasure in their discomfort, saying, ‘We are friends, and when you go to meet other guys on your own, of course, I’ll be concerned. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. 1’11 take you out for dinner first.”
“Jiang He, drive.”
“Okay!” Jiang He’s evil plan succeeded, and he was so happy that he almost wanted to give himself a grand prize.
The name of the award was “Master Si’s exclusive matchmaker!”
Along the way, the temperature in the car soared.
Mei Shu was so hot that she couldn’t breathe. She could only open the car window to take a breath, but there was a furnace that kept emitting heat next to her. Even so, she couldn’t help but take off her school uniform.
“What are you doing?” Lu Si suddenly held her hand and stared at her gloomily.
Mei Shu blinked innocently. “Take off your clothes. Don’t you think it’s very hot today?”
Lu Si took a deep breath. “It’s windy outside. Put on your clothes. I’ll ask Jiang He to turn on the air conditioner.”
“Okay.” Mei Shu re-zipped her dress.
Lu Si sat uneasily, enduring it until they reached the restaurant’s entrance.
As soon as the car stopped, he opened the door as if he were escaping.
Even without Mei Shu saying it, he himself felt that his current appearance was quite pitiful.
Having dominated the business world for so many years, he had seen all kinds of beauties.
No matter how scantily clad women flaunted themselves in front of him, they had never stirred any ripples in the depths of his heart.
But for some reason, Mei Shu only took off her coat in front of him, and he felt his mouth go dry.
It took Lu Si a long time to calm down.
Mei Shu stared at his anxious back for a long time. Suddenly, he leaned close to Jiang He’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Has your Master Si ever had a girlfriend?”
“Never!” Jiang He assured her proudly.
Mei Shu saw something from it and said, “No wonder. You should help your Master Si find a girlfriend!”
Jiang He immediately looked horrified. “Why do you say that? Be careful or Master Si will be angry if he hears it!”
Master Si hated it when others meddled in his private affairs!
Mei Shu, however, didn’t mind. “He’s already this old. Without a girlfriend, his mental state must be abnormal. For the sake of Mr. Si’s physical and mental well-being, you should find him an emotional outlet. Maybe it would even be beneficial for his condition.”
“You have a recommendation?” Jiang He still looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Mei Shu shook his head regretfully. “No, but I will start to pay attention. After all, as his good friend, 1 certainly hope to see him happy.”
Jiang He thought to himself, Don’t let Master Si hear this.
He quickly changed the topic to her. “Miss Mei, how about you?”
“Me?” Mei Shu pointed at herself in surprise.
At the same time, Lu Si, whose back was facing them, instantly stiffened and subconsciously turned his head to eavesdrop on the two of them.
Jiang He nodded at her firmly.
Mei Shu waved his hand quickly. “I can’t. I’m still so young and haven’t even thought about dating yet!”
Did she think he was old?
In the distance, Lu Si’s face immediately sank, and he interrupted their whispering.. “Since you like to chat so much, Jiang He, you might as well quit your job and become a voice chat companion!”
