Mei Shu nodded, “There’s no need to refund the tuition fee. Just let us take Xiao He away today.”
A smile appeared on the principal’s face. “Sure. Once you’ve made the decision, you can go ahead.”
Handling the withdrawal procedures for Mei He didn’t take much time. The school cooperated well, allowing Mei Shu to take the child away.
Once in the car, Mei He curled up in a corner alone. Even when Mei Shu tried to approach, he trembled with fear.
This was the inevitable reaction after Mei He had been isolated from society for so long.
Seeing his distress, Mei Shu couldn’t bear to continue to torment him. She simply handed him a lollipop and whispered, “Don’t be afraid, sister will take you home.”
Mei He looked up at her with a blank expression, and finally, there was a reaction to the term “home.” Tears quickly filled his eyes.
He sniffled, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands, curling into a ball on the seat, preventing any sound from escaping.
Mei Shu sighed softly, knowing that her brother must have suffered a lot outside. She spoke even more gently, “Don’t be afraid. Sister won’t blame you. Do you miss home, Xiao He?”
Mei He still kept his hand over his mouth.
Afraid he might suffocate, Mei Shu tentatively reached out, gently placing her hand on his back.
Mei He, with fearful eyes, followed her hand.
When her ice-cold fingertips touched him, Mei He’s eyes widened for a moment. It seemed like he wanted to scream, but his mouth was firmly covered. He could only emit a muffled sob.
“Xiao He, as long as Sister is here, no one can bully you. You can make any sound you want. Don’t be afraid. Take your hand away, okay?”
As Mei Shu spoke, she gently pulled down his hand.
Initially, Mei He’s body resisted, but perhaps he was too scared. His fingers trembled violently, and after a brief struggle, he suddenly loosened his grip.
His mouth was finally freed.
As soon as Mei Shu let go, Mei He couldn’t help letting out a scream.
But maybe because Mei Shu’s gaze was too gentle, this time he wasn’t as afraid to the point of hurting himself.
Mei Shu touched his face that was pinched red by himself sympathetically, encouraging him, “That’s right, Xiao He. If you feel scared next time, just tell Sister. Don’t torment yourself, okay?”
Mei He nodded hesitantly, his eyes following her fingers as they continued to caress his hand. After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse and hesitant voice, “Sis, sister, I’m, I’m scared.”
Perhaps because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, Mei He spoke intermittently, pausing several times. Each time, he nervously swallowed saliva before continuing to speak.
But Mei Shu patiently listened, waiting for her brother to gradually become brave and not let him waste the courage he had finally gathered.
After he finished speaking, Mei Shu once again comforted him tirelessly, “Xiao He, you’re great. Don’t be afraid. Sister will definitely protect you. Everyone at home likes you a lot. If you want anything, just tell your brothers and sister, okay?”
Mei He tentatively nodded. Seeing that Mei Shu showed no intention of blaming him, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
But before this smile could grow into the light in his eyes, a sudden change occurred.
A silver-white car suddenly blocked the path of the Mei family’s car.
The driver reacted quickly, slamming on the brakes urgently. The rear of the car was driven by inertia, sliding to the right for a distance before finally stopping near the side of the other car.
“Scared me to death, Young Master, Miss, are you both okay?” The driver quickly inquired about the condition of the three of them as soon as he stopped the car.
Just as Mei He had become a little braver, he was scared again, huddling and covering his head.
Mei Shu comforted him while gently patting his head. She frowned and looked at Mei Feng in the front passenger seat, “What’s going on? Whose car is that?”
She couldn’t believe this was just an accident.
Mei Feng carefully identified the familiar license plate number and his eyes widened suddenly. “It’s Aunt Feng Wei’s car.”
Mei Shu squinted her eyes, remembering who this person was.
It seemed that after the last piano competition, Feng Wei hated her. She had disappeared for so long but didn’t forget to come out to make trouble for her again!
Mei Feng unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car. “Sister, you stay in the car with Xiao He. 1’11 go up front and find out what’s going on.”
“No need, you take care of Xiao He.”
If Feng Wei, who had cheated in the competition and lost her position as the president of the piano association because of Mei Shu, suddenly appeared like this, it probably wouldn’t be good news.
Mei Shu was afraid that Mei Feng would have difficulty handling it alone.
“Okay.” After hearing Mei Shu’s words, Mei Feng didn’t insist anymore. He got back into the car from the back and kept his eyes on the front to monitor the situation.
Mei Shu slowly walked to the car and knocked on the window without even bending down.
The window slowly lowered, gradually revealing Feng Wei’s mocking gaze..
