Chapter 137: Having Dinner Together
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The competition naturally ended with Mei Shu winning the championship.
Lu Si personally accompanied her back to the Mei family.
On the way, he couldn’t help but catch a glimpse of the girl’s cold side profile. He had never encountered someone colder than him, and for some reason, he wanted to provoke her.
“Did you gain anything from studying with F?” Lu Si initiated a conversation with her.
Mei Shu, of course, thanked him for that, “F is a great teacher, and I have learned a lot of basic skills. Thank you, Lu Si.”
This was the first time she called him by his full name.
He knew his identity could no longer be hidden, but he didn’t plan on hiding it anymore.
“That’s good. It’s more troublesome when my second personality appears, so consider these as my thanks to you,” Lu Si replied.
“This gesture of thanks is very sincere,” Mei Shu expressed her gratitude from the heart. “Don’t worry, when you have another episode, I will take good care of you.”
“That would be nice of you,” Lu Si answered with a smile.
The car fell into silence once again.
Jiang He was driving in front, and his palms on the steering wheel were sweating profusely. Through the rearview mirror, he unexpectedly saw Lu Si’s gloomy face. In a panic, he pulled over and said, “I’m sorry, Master Lu Si, Miss Mei, I need to use the restroom!”
“Go ahead,” Lu Si was satisfied with the excuse he found.
Finally, there were only the two of them in the car.
Lu Si said lightly, “Do you think this gesture of thanks is a bit too heavy?” If you find it too heavy, you can treat me to a meal.
He had prepared the second half of the sentence, but Mei Shu looked at him with innocence and said, “Not at all. This is your kind gesture. How could I find it heavy?”
Lu Si:”…” She seemed to have a point.
But he was not convinced and continued to persuade her, “F is a renowned hacker worldwide, and Elder Wen and Elder Wu who were invited here for the competition, are piano industry giants. I’ve arranged them for you, so no one will easily target you in the future.”
“These three teachers have indeed been very helpful to me,” Mei Shu sighed with emotion. “I hope I can learn real skills from them. I will work hard and not waste your sincere efforts, Master Lu Si.”
Was that it?
Lu Si opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words. He pursed his lips and his expression became obviously dark.
Mei Shu finally sensed the change in atmosphere.
She turned to look at the man’s tense profile. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind and she said, “Of course, I won’t forget your help either, Master Si. If you have time, why don’t we have dinner together tonight? I’ll treat you.”
With this system, making money had become quite easy for her. Even if Lu Si’s status was high, she should be able to afford treating him to a meal.
Hearing her suggestion, Lu Si’s gloomy face instantly brightened. He narrowed his eyes, his expression deep and unfathomable. “Since you’ve invited me, then let’s do it. You can choose the place.”
After he finished speaking, he knocked on the car window.
Jiang He, who was hiding nearby, spying on their movements, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, Miss Mei finally grasped Master Lu Si’s intention before his face turned sour. Now, he dared to return and continue driving the two of them.
Mei Shu didn’t know which restaurants were good in Lin City, so she had the system rank a high-end restaurant with good popularity.
However, when they arrived, she found that all the private rooms were booked.
Lu Si noticed her hesitation and casually walked over to a vacant seat. “It’s okay. Just sit here.”
As long as he didn’t mind, it was fine.
Mei Shu felt relieved.
Since she was the one treating, she should prioritize the guest’s preferences. If Lu Si didn’t mind not having a private room, then it was fine.
The waitress soon brought the menu, and Mei Shu gestured for her to hand it directly to Lu Si. “Master Si, order whatever you like, and don’t worry about my wallet.”
In a good mood, Lu Si picked a few dishes he liked and then considered Mei Shu’s taste, ordering some dishes that girls usually enjoyed. After that, he handed the menu back to the waitress. “That should be enough.”
“Okay, sir, miss, please wait a moment.” When she was taking the order, the waitress had been staring at Lu Si’s handsome face, seemingly enamored. She walked back and forth as if she couldn’t get enough of looking at him. After handing the menu to the kitchen, she casually picked up a cloth and wiped the empty table next to them.
“Welcome.” The voice of the greeter sounded again at the entrance of the restaurant.
A young man and a young woman walked in together.
The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was cute and lovely. The two looked very pleasing together, but for some reason, the man’s face looked terrible, as if they were a couple who had just had a big fight.
The two were led by the waitress and seated at the only available table in the restaurant.
As soon as they sat down, the girl couldn’t stop complaining, “Brother Lu Yan, why did you walk so fast? My feet are all blistered, and you didn’t even wait for me!”
“I didn’t ask you to follow me,” Lu Yan replied coldly, then turned his head to the side and, unexpectedly, saw Lu Si and Mei Shu at the neighboring table. He was so frightened that he stood up immediately..
