“Uncle, why are you here?” The words slipped out of Lu Yan’s mouth, and he quickly covered it with his hand.
Fortunately, Lu Si didn’t mind. “Just sit down. Mei Shu already knows everything.”
“Well…” Lu Yan scratched his head, slightly embarrassed. “Mei Shu, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”
“It’s okay. I understand.” Mei Shu never forced others to talk about things they didn’t want to.
On the other side of the table, Zhou Li saw Lu Yan’s appearance and became angry. Overwhelmed by jealousy, she said in a pitiful voice, “Brother Lu Yan, you’ve never spoken to me so gently before. Am I so annoying to you?”
“Can you pay attention to the occasion when you speak?” Lu Yan couldn’t bear it anymore and reprimanded her in a low voice.
Their commotion had attracted the attention of many people. Lu Yan had no interest in being watched like a monkey in a zoo!
Being scolded like this, Zhou Li’s eyes quickly filled with tears. “You always speak to me like this. Am I not worthy of your tenderness, unlike Mei Shu?”
At her words, Lu Si’s eyes flashed with displeasure.
Lu Yan could clearly feel his uncle’s anger and quickly tried to appease her, “Don’t cry now. Do you want to eat or not? You said you were hungry just now.” Zhou Li nodded pitifully, wiping her tears with a tissue. With a nasal voice, she said, “Then let’s order quickly.”
Lu Yan really couldn’t stand her.
When this young lady became annoying, anyone would find it unbearable. But he was forced by his mother to accompany her shopping for the whole day. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have left her and walked away.
Although he was supposed to accompany her, in reality, she spent the whole day following him around, studying and reading. She was so bored that she almost grew moldy. Now that they finally came to eat, she suppressed her impatience for the whole day and couldn’t help but become talkative.
Lu Yan looked visibly annoyed. Mei Shu found it amusing and teased him, “Your face is all dark.”
Lu Yan grumbled, “Do you think I like this?”
Mei Shu paused for a moment, glanced at Zhou Li who had turned pale, and sighed, “Well done.”
Zhou Li:”?”
She stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and arrogantly pointed at Mei Shu, “What do you mean?”
“Exactly what 1 said,” Mei Shu calmly sipped her tea.
Zhou Li wanted to continue arguing, but she caught a glimpse of a cold and intense gaze, causing her whole body to tremble. “I… I’ll talk to you later!”
Although Zhou Li didn’t recognize Lu Si, she felt scared by the cold look he gave her.
Moreover, this man was Lu Yan’s uncle. She should indeed show him respect.
The most boisterous person finally quieted down, and Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The dishes for both tables were quickly served.
Lu Yan suggested that they sit together, but Lu Si immediately refused without hesitation. Lu Yan had no choice but to bow his head and quietly eat his food.
Since Mei Shu was also present, Zhou Li kept using public chopsticks to pick dishes for Lu Yan.
As long as Lu Yan ate the dishes she served, she would give Mei Shu a smug look to show that she was receiving special treatment from Lu Yan.
Mei Shu found this rather speechless.
She couldn’t be bothered to look at Zhou Li and focused all her attention on the delicious food in front of her.
Although the dishes in this high-end restaurant were outrageously expensive, they were indeed much better than those in other places. Mei Shu had eaten a lot of the duck dish in front of her and still felt like she hadn’t had enough. As the plate was almost empty, she suddenly felt a bit regretful.
She did want to eat more, but ordering another plate would probably take some time.
It seemed like she could only come back alone next time.
As this thought crossed her mind, a plate of untouched duck meat was placed in front of her.
Mei Shu looked up in surprise, and Lu Si explained nonchalantly, “1 don’t like it, so you can have it.”
If you don’t like it, why did you order it?
All these dishes were personally chosen by Lu Si.
However, Mei Shu didn’t dwell on it too much. She thought he genuinely didn’t like the taste of duck, so she thanked him happily and then focused on savoring this delicious dish in front of her.
Lu Yan had been paying attention to the situation over here. After seeing Lu Si’s actions, he almost choked on the tea he was drinking!
Others might not understand Lu Si’s preferences, but he was well aware of them.
When his uncle had an episode, his second personality would shout that he wanted to eat duck meat. As a result, they always had duck meat prepared at home so that his uncle wouldn’t have to go outside to buy it when he wanted some.
But unexpectedly, today, in front of Mei Shu, his uncle said that he didn’t like duck meat?
When did his uncle become so caring?
Moreover, caring for a girl?
There was also one most important question he almost overlooked just now.
“Uncle, how did you two meet?” Lu Yan asked cautiously.
Lu Si elegantly wiped his mouth, put down the tissue, and replied, “We met at a piano competition.”
After saying that, he glanced at Mei Shu..
