Chapter 26

Lu Si sensed that since the last time, the time he had been transformed into another personality had begun to shorten greatly. He couldn’t help but guess what caused this sudden change. What he needed to do now was to know what had happened during this change.

Lu Si began to recall the scene he saw after waking up these two times.

Last time, he was lying by the roadside, surrounded by strangers. The girl standing closest to him had her back to him and was waving at the other side of the road. He didn’t see any useful information, so he left quickly after waking up. Later, he asked Jiang He to check the nearby surveillance cameras, but who knew that it was a blind spot and nothing was recorded.

When he woke up this time, he was in the grove. There was no one around him, but the candy in his mouth and a chain that had fallen by his feet indicated that someone had approached him. It was very likely that the other party was a girl.

Lu Si tried his best to recall and find clues, while Mei Shu and the security guards searched through every corner of the grove, but in the end they didn’t find Xiao Bao, and had to return empty-handed.

Mei Shu remembered how Xiao Bao seemed quite familiar with his surroundings in the grove and the security guards’ anxious mood when searching for Xiao Bao, realizing that Xiao Bao was probably not an ordinary person. She could only comfort herself that she had done everything she could and went back home.

When Mei Shu returned home, she happened to bump into Wang Yue bringing Mei Mu to learn the zither.

Mei Mu knew that Bai Ling had hired a teacher to teach Mei Shu how to play the zither, but she never touched it again since they drove her to the countryside. When she passed by Mei Shu, she couldn’t help but show off.

“Mom, Uncle said last time that I’m getting more and more proficient in playing the zither. He told me to practice harder. I’ll definitely get into the top three in this year’s Golden Reputation Competition.”

Wang Yue smiled and said, “Your father will definitely go to watch your game, no matter how busy he is at that time.”

The two of them put on a show of motherly love and filial piety. They didn’t forget to mention Mei Yun. It was as if they were the only family in the entire Mei family.

Unfortunately, these words had no effect on Mei Shu now.

Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh inwardly when she thought of Mei Mu’s accomplishments on the zither. How could a person without a heart play the zither well?

She couldn’t be bothered with the pretentious mother and daughter. At this time, the driver happened to deliver the things she had just bought, so Mei Shu took them and went straight upstairs.

Mei Shu carried the bag into her room and began to sort through it. When her gaze fell upon her wrist, she realized that the double chain bracelet had somehow lost the fine chain attached to the rabbit body, leaving only a big rabbit head on her wrist.

Mei Shu sat on the bed helplessly. “A branded one? What poor quality!”

Mei Shu didn’t want to spend a few thousand yuan in vain and wanted Little Eight to help him find it. However, Little Eight said that it was beyond its search range.

Mei Shu was a little discouraged, then immediately heard Little Eight start assigning a mission.

[Master, please obtain another 100,000 yuan from Mei Yun.]

Upon hearing this mission, Mei Shu frowned.

Now she had been away from home for five years, and she could count on one hand the number of times she had contacted her father during this time. She was not like Mei Mu, who could often meet Mei Yun and get what she wanted just by having her mother being a little coquettish with Mei Yun. This made her feel a little troubled.

[… I’ve only been back for half a month, and I’ve only met him four or five times. He has just given me money less than a week ago, and I still have almost half left. With our unfamiliar and fragile relationship, how can I ask him for money?]

Little Eight ignored Mei Shu.

Mei Shu narrowed her eyes. [You damn system, come out and answer me. How did you design these missions?!]

Little Eight’s mechanical voice sounded. [Insult System, points -5.]

Mei Shu clenched her fists and wanted to hit someone!

When Little Eight didn’t mention any time limit, it meant there was no time restriction. So, Mei Shu put the quest aside for now and went to Mei Yan’s room with the gift.

Mei Yan was diligently doing homework, while Mei Jing lay on the bed playing a game in silence, waiting for Mei Yan to ask for help. Mei Shu glanced at them casually, without saying anything, and took out a figurine of an anime character that Mei Yan liked from her bag and placed it on the desk.

Seeing the gift on the desk, Mei Yan asked excitedly, “Is this for me?”

Mei Shu nodded and sat at the head of the bed. “sat at the edge of the bed, saying, ‘You’ve been doing so well lately, so I have a reward for you. Keep up the good work!”

Mei Yan smiled so much that his eyes squinted. He eagerly nodded and reached out to take the figurine. Although he received many gifts every year, it was his first time receiving a gift from Mei Shu. He held it in his hand and touched it over and over again.”

Little Eight detected an emotional fluctuation. [Congratulations Master for being loved by your family, affinity +1]

Mei Jing saw Mei Yan’s actions from the corner of her eye and secretly cursed him for being ungrateful. That figurine was worth over 4,000 yuan, but he didn’t show this much excitement when he bought him a figurine for 26,000 yuan last year.
