Chapter 17

Li Zhen and Mei Mu were not familiar with each other, but they were both ranked in the top ten of the grade. They were also publicly acknowledged as the school belle and the school hunk. They could still call each other by name.

Li Zhen quickly glanced at everyone and then greeted Mei Mu enthusiastically. “Beauty Mei, do you like to eat noodles too?”

Seeing that someone had helped her out, Mei Mu heaved a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, “Fortunately, I suddenly felt like eating noodles today.”

Mei Mu secretly glared at Mei Shu, who didn’t help her out, and then looked up at Lu Yan. In the end, she didn’t dare to speak to Lu Yan again. The students who came for lunch were all from the same school. If Lu Yan didn’t give her face, it would really be embarrassing.

[Master, there’s a mission! Please gain Li Zhen’s favor.]

Mei Shu frowned. She only wanted to give Li Zhen a hard time and didn’t want to win his favor at all!

However, thinking of the points, Mei Shu adjusted her mentality. She knew what Li Zhen liked to hear, so she looked up at Li Zhen and smiled. “Li Zhen, you’re the most handsome student in the First Middle School, right? I’ve heard your name from my classmates. This is the first time we’re meeting today. You’re indeed worthy of this title.”

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said humbly, “I’m flattered. I’m only slightly better-looking than ordinary boys.”

Just now, Mei Shu simply ignored him. Li Zhen was still wondering if he had offended her in any way. Otherwise, with his charm, how could he have gotten such a cold attitude from a girl? Now that he saw Mei Shu’s change in attitude, he thought that she was just being shy just now.

When Lu Yan heard their conversation, he looked up at Mei Shu with a strange expression.

At this moment, Mei Shu was waiting for the notification of her mission completion but there was still no sound after three seconds, so she asked silently, [Little Eight, have I not completed my mission?]

[Master, the system didn’t detect any improvement in Li Zhen’s favorability in you.]

Mei Shu scolded in her mind, [This scumbag. It’s actually so difficult to improve his favorability.]

Mei Shu didn’t look away after her conversation with Li Zhen. From Li Zhen’s perspective, he thought that Mei Shu had been looking at him.

Li Zhen was secretly delighted when he saw this. A trace of self-satisfaction flashed across his eyes. Although he didn’t like Mei Shu, it didn’t stop him from enjoying the feeling of being pursued by the opposite sex.

Mei Mu found that Mei Shu was staring straight at Li Zhen, while Lu Yan didn’t look too good. She secretly laughed at Mei Shu for being blind. Li Zhen’s family only owned a small company, but he had a likable face and a good personality. Compared to Lu Zhen, he was like a sesame seed to a watermelon.

However, when she thought about how Bai Ling had given up such a good family background and even cut ties with her family to help her poor father start a business, she suddenly felt that Mei Shu’s choice was normal. She was genetically blind.

Mei Mu rolled her eyes and felt that this was a good opportunity to sow discord between Mei Shu and Lu Yan. She chuckled and teased, “Mei Shu, looks like you fell in love with Li Zhen at first sight. You can’t even bear to blink.”

Mei Shu came back to her senses and saw Mei Mu’s teasing expression. She was just short of hinting that the two of them were a couple, and Li Zhen looked shy. Mei Shu felt like she had swallowed a fly that had just eaten sh*t.

Mei Shu didn’t want to let them have their way. She looked straight at Mei Mu and chuckled. “Everyone loves beauty. When we see a good-looking face, we will naturally take a few more glances. However, a beauty should be matched with a handsome man. No matter what, the school hunk should be matched by the school belle.”

Wang Yue and her daughter liked to climb up the social ladder. Although Mei Shu was blind in her previous life, she knew that their first target was Lu Yan. However, Lu Yan was not interested in Mei Mu. Coupled with the fact that he went overseas and Mei Mu was bent on snatching her things, she set her sights on Li Zhen. In the end, she really succeeded.

Mei Shu’s move was called giving him a taste of his own medicine. She wouldn’t feel guilty for spreading rumors like this. If Mei Mu had to blame someone, she could only blame herself for looking for trouble.

Mei Shu’s tone was natural, her attitude was graceful, and she showed no signs of embarrassment about the matter at hand. It was obvious at a glance that she was just looking at Li Zhen a few more times.

On the other hand, Mei Mu was very concerned about Lu Yan’s thoughts. When she heard that Mei Shu had paired her up with Li Zhen, she glared at her harshly. Her tone was a little exasperated. “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Mei Shu snorted sarcastically. “The next time you talk about others, think about these words yourself.”
