Mei Shu stopped in her tracks and turned around, only to see a girl who had blocked her way earlier in the morning.
“Why have you been following me?” Mei Shu asked.
The girl was caught on the spot but not scared. She just shyly stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head and showing a guilty smile. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to show you something.”
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and stood still. “What is it?”
The girl happily walked up to her and showed her a post on the school forum.
Mei Shu read through the nonsensical content of the post from beginning to end, her eyes filled with sarcasm. “Only Mei Mu could come up with such outrageous lies, and it’s amazing how many people actually believed it.”
The girl smiled and said, “Now, many people at school are speculating that you were the one who posted about Mei Mu’s identity. After Mei Mu clarified, a lot of people now have a negative opinion of you.”
“And what does that matter to me?” Mei Shu shrugged it off.
The girl put away her phone, opened her photo album, and showed Mei Shu a picture she had just taken of Mei Shu and Li Hua together. “If I were to post this picture in the comments of that post, how do you think others would gossip about you behind your back?”
“I don’t know you,” Mei Shu said, keeping her composure, showing none of the panic the girl wanted to see.
The girl was slightly surprised but then sweetly smiled and introduced herself, “Let me introduce myself. I am a new transfer student today, in the same class as Brother Lu Yan. My name is Fu Hui.”
Hearing her mention of Lu Yan, Mei Shu roughly understood the other party’s intentions.
“Are you trying to threaten me with this photo for a guy?” Mei Shu looked at her with a compassionate gaze as if she could see through everything.
Fu Hui’s heart tightened, and her confidence from before weakened a bit. “Aren’t you afraid?”
“Afraid of what?” Mei Shu chuckled and raised her lips in amusement. “You can go ahead and post it. I’m just worried that after Lu Yan knows about this, he won’t let you near him again.”
“But I’ve known Brother Lu Yan for many years!” Fu Hui smiled even more sweetly and then waved at someone behind Mei Shu. “Brother Lu Yan, I have something to tell you!”
Lu Yan, who was passing by, was suddenly called out and turned his head to see Mei Shu there as well.
He subconsciously stopped in his tracks, waiting for Fu Hui to skip over and finally stand in front of him.
Fu Hui lifted her small face and pouted, holding his arm with a spoiled look. “Brother Lu Yan, my mother said our whole family just arrived in the city and she wants you to be our guide and show us around the city.”
Lu Yan’s eyes met Fu Hui’s sparkling eyes, but he felt unusually calm inside. “When?”
“This weekend! My mom really wants to see you!” Fu Hui continued clinging to his arm.
Lu Yan gently freed his arm and shook his head. “I’m sorry, I already have other plans this weekend and can’t show you around.”
After saying that, he bypassed Fu Hui and walked straight to Mei Shu, saying, “This is Fu Hui, the young lady from the Fu family who moved next door to my family after your family moved away. Later, due to family business, she followed her parents to the capital city. I didn’t expect her to suddenly come back and transfer to our school.”
Mei Shu sensed his eagerness in explaining and blinked slightly in surprise. “It’s alright, you guys can go and have fun. I still have some vocabulary to memorize, so I won’t disturb you.”
“Wait.” Lu Yan grabbed her wrist, but his eyes were fixed on Fu Hui. “Could you please tell Auntie that I already have other plans for this weekend, so I won’t be able to take you around. Afterward, I will have the housekeeper bring a gift as an apology to your mother.”
“Brother Lu Yan…”
Fu Hui watched him hold Mei Shu’s hand and walk away. She wanted to call him back, but the words choked in her throat, and she couldn’t say anything. Could it be that Brother Lu Yan’s secret crush had always been Mei Shu?
Lu Yan and Mei Shu walked all the way into a small grove, and only then did Lu Yan let go of Mei Shu’s hand, blushing as he apologized, “I’m sorry, I used you as an excuse just now.”
“Do you have a bad relationship with her?” Mei Shu hadn’t met Fu Hui before, so she didn’t know anything about their relationship.
Lu Yan found a clean and shady spot in the grass and patted the spot beside him, inviting her to sit down. “It’s not good or bad. When she was younger, she always clung to me and wanted me to play with her. My mother liked her a lot and would always force me to accompany her. Later, she left with her family, and I was relieved.”
Mei Shu narrowed her eyes and teased him, “You do seem to easily win the affection of little sisters.”
Lu Yan’s face drooped, “I’m older than you, OK? Aren’t you also my little sister? So, do you like me?”
When this was said, not only Mei Shu was stunned, but even Lu Yan himself was also taken aback. After a while, he finally reacted and awkwardly waved his hand, saying, “Sorry, that’s not what I meant. I meant the kind of liking between childhood playmates, the liking for an older brother.”
Mei Shu didn’t think too much of it and playfully teased him, “You, an older brother? You were just a cute little crybaby when we were young.”
Lu Yan’s face turned even redder, and he even suddenly felt a little afraid to look at Mei Shu.. He turned his head away and said in a muffled voice, “Isn’t that because you always bullied me and made me cry?”
