Chapter 24

Under Mei Shu’s high-pressure gaze, Mei Yan, who thought he had a decent brain and could self-study, could only helplessly comply and say, “Second brother, just help me out.”

Mei Jing and Mei Yan were very close. Seeing that Mei Yan was so eager to learn, Mei Jing could only agree. “Okay, but only for 2 hours every day! Even if it goes over by a minute, I’ll resist even if I’m beaten to death!”

Mei Jing looked at Mei Shu meaningfully. Mei Shu raised her eyebrows nonchalantly. Mei Jing had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. With two hours, was three hours still far away?

In the following period of time, Mei Shu used the excuse that Mei Yan didn’t always have problems to persuade Mei Jing to pass the time by reading history books as novels.

With Mei Jing’s help, Mei Shu could finally focus all her attention on her studies and finish copying all the notes by Saturday.

On Sunday, Mei Shu was exploring various functions on the Mango phone. In her previous life, she used a miscellaneous brand phone that would get extremely laggy if she installed a couple of extra apps, and its features were naturally very basic. Therefore, Mei Shu was still quite unfamiliar with this high-end model.

[Master, there’s a mission! Because you’ve been studying too hard previously and exhaustion is not good for your health, so today’s mission is to buy, buy, buy!]

Mei Shu’s eyes lit up. [This mission is not bad!]

Usually, completing missions would trigger related events or characters. Mei Shu thought that she would encounter someone provoking her and then having a big fight with her when she was shopping, but nothing happened to her from the morning until the afternoon.

Actually, Mei Shu didn’t buy much. She only bought a few sets of clothes and a unique double-chain bracelet for herself. She also bought a small gift for each of her four younger brothers.

Due to the lack of exercise from sitting all the time, Mei Shu got out of the car at the entrance of the community and had the driver take the things back first. She then walked around the community.

The community was very large, with a building area of only 30%, and the rest was designed with greenery. The design style was Chinese garden, emphasizing the concept of “a scene within a scene”.

Mei Shu had just turned a corner when he saw a person leaning against the back of a big tree. He was sitting on the grass and looking up at the sky in a daze.

Mei Shu was stunned when she saw that familiar face. She walked forward and called out softly, “Xiao Bao?”

Xiao Bao turned around and beamed when he saw Mei Shu. “Sister!”

He still had the appearance of a teenage boy and a soft voice.

Mei Shu looked at Xiao Bao’s outfit today. He was still wearing casual clothes of an unknown brand, but this time, he was wearing a Vacheron Constantin watch.

The management of the district was very strict. Usually, strangers would not be allowed to enter alone. Mei Shu suspected that he also lived in this district.

Mei Shu squatted down and smiled. “Does Xiao Bao live here too?”

Xiao Bao frowned upon hearing the question, and spoke with a somewhat dejected tone, “I don’t know this place. I woke up here just now, and I saw some men in black clothes. They were so scary, so Xiao Bao hid.”

When Mei Shu heard this, she wasn’t sure if those people were looking for Xiao Bao. She thought for a moment and sat down as well. “Your family should be here soon. I’ll wait with you.”

Xiao Bao nodded obediently and started to look up at the sky again.

Mei Shu propped up her head and curiously looked at Xiao Bao. She sighed softly and said with regret, “Alas, such a good-looking boy. It’s such a pity. Even if he has a handsome face, with an IQ of a five-year-old kid, he definitely won’t be able to find a wife!”

Mei Shu thought of how he had left without saying goodbye last time and asked curiously, “Xiao Bao, why did you disappear when I turned around last time?”

Xiao Bao was not angry that his thoughts had been interrupted. He turned around and thought for a moment before replying seriously, “I didn’t disappear. Sister disappeared.”

Mei Shu was briefly stunned, but considering that the other party had the intelligence of only a five-year-old child, she no longer dwelled on the issue.

Mei Shu accompanied him for half an hour, but no one came to look for Xiao Bao. Just as she was hesitating if she should call the police, she suddenly heard a shout in the distance. She wanted to focus and listen carefully.

“Sister, danger! Let’s leave quickly!” Xiao Bao suddenly stood up and pulled Mei Shu towards a dense grove.

Mei Shu followed behind with a dumbfounded expression. Seeing that Xiao Bao was anxious like last time, she comforted him. “Xiao Bao, it’s very safe here. Don’t worry, I’m strong enough to protect you!”

Xiao Bao said anxiously as he walked, “They’re very powerful.”
