“Just now, did Lu Yan also not leave through the main gate?” Lu Si asked with a gloomy expression.

Jiang He pondered for a moment and replied, “Indeed, that’s the case. This school has a back gate, and Young Master Yan might have already left with Miss Mei through the back gate.”

Lu Si’s eyes showed urgency, and he decisively said, “Go to the Mei family.”

Half an hour later.

Lu Si got out of the car, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Butler Zhao waiting at the door with a smiling face.

“Young Master Si, you’ve arrived.” Zhao Yan smiled and said, “Miss specifically instructed that the house won’t receive any guests today. Please go back.”

Lu Si’s eyes already showed anger. “Did she specifically instruct you to block me here? Does she not want to see me so much?”

Zhao Yan continued to smile politely, “Master Si, please don’t misunderstand. It’s Miss who’s been busy with her studies these past few days. She’s about to take another mock exam soon, so she’s in a hurry to review and doesn’t want to think about anything other than her studies.”

“Okay, very well.” Lu Si sneered, as if he could hear something breaking in his chest. “Since she’s busy, I won’t disturb her.”

After saying that, he turned around coldly and walked away.

Upstairs, Mei Shu leaned against the window and saw Lu Si leaving in large strides. Her long eyelashes drooped with a sense of desolation.

Lu Yan tried playing a few notes on the piano and smiled, inviting her over. “Come and listen, see if I made any mistakes?”

“Sure, go ahead.” Mei Shu adjusted her mood, looking at Lu Yan with renewed smiles.

In her memory, although she didn’t remember the part of getting to know him after returning to the city, the childhood friendship was deeply rooted in her heart.

For her, Lu Yan was a good friend for a lifetime.

Originally, Chu Rui was too, but he did something to hurt Xiao He. She only wished to avoid him in the future and never see him again.

Although Lu Yan had just started learning the piano seriously, he had a foundation from childhood, and he progressed quickly in learning. He could already independently play a complete piece.

His music was melodious and long, and the feelings in it were reserved and sour that she didn’t understand.

As the piece ended, Mei Shu looked at him seriously and asked, “Do you have someone you like?”

Lu Yan didn’t expect her to ask like this. The clear eyes were filled with restraint and control. “Yes.”

Mei Shu sincerely felt happy for him. “Is it Zhou Li from our class? She seems to really like you. Now, you two are mutually attracted to each other.”

Although she didn’t understand why Zhou Li seemed hostile every time she saw her, since it was someone Lu Yan liked, she would try her best to get along with Zhou Li in the future.

“No, it’s not her.” Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said lightly, “It’s someone I’ve known for many years. Unfortunately, she only sees me as her best friend.”

These words made Mei Shu’s face blush.

Why did she feel that Lu Yan was indirectly implying that this person was her?

But Lu Yan didn’t show much closeness to her at school. He just came to her class door these past two days and waited for her to finish school.

Could it be someone he met after she was sent to the countryside?

Mei Shu didn’t ask further, lowered her head, and explained the parts he played wrong, note by note.

Unconsciously, Mei Shu and Lu Yan got closer and closer.

Unfortunately, Mei Shu herself didn’t notice and was deeply immersed in the melody he had just played.

“Mei Shu.”

Lu Yan’s low voice sounded by her ear.

His warm breath sprayed all over her face, making her heart beat wildly.

The distance between the two was so close that if she moved slightly, her cheek would brush against his lips.

Mei Shu was stunned for a moment, quickly straightened up, and blushing, said, “Sorry, I didn’t pay attention.”

“It’s okay.” Lu Yan smiled gently. When he stood up, he was no longer the chubby little boy from before. Now, he was taller than Mei Shu by almost half a head. “Shu’er.”

His voice was different from what she remembered.

Hearing her nickname from his mouth, Mei Shu inexplicably blushed even more, subconsciously moved backward.

However, Lu Yan seemed to intentionally follow, continuing until he pushed her into the corner against the wall.

“All Yan, why did you suddenly get so close?” Mei Shu was not used to it, avoiding the topic as if avoiding the scorching temperature on his chest.

Lu Yan lowered his head, stopped at the distance of an inch, and his voice became lower, “Actually, the person I like is…”

“Mei Shu!”

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Lu Yan turned his head in panic, only to see Lu Si glaring at his hand on Mei Shu’s shoulder.

“Uncle?” Lu Yan instinctively released Mei Shu from his grasp.

Lu Si strode over aggressively, pulling Mei Shu behind him. “Lu Yan, what did you want to say just now?”

“Lu Si, let go of me!” Mei Shu desperately shook off his hand, staring at him with dissatisfaction.. “Who let you in? Didn’t you already leave?”
