Chapter 49: Pocket Space
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Shu was pletely defeated by his pitiful look.
One had to admit that a good-looking man acting like a helpless child was quite impactful.
Naturally, she couldn’t sit in a stranger’s car with him, so she found a bench in a nearby park and sat down with him.
Lu Si immediately took advantage of the opportunity, resting his head on her lap and hugging her waist, pleading incessantly, “Sister, please tell me a story. Little baby will obediently go to sleep.”
His warm breath spread across her abdomen.
Considering it was summer and she was wearing thin clothes, the warmth infused with a distinctly masculine scent touched her body, causing Mei Shu to freeze momentarily. She quickly pushed him away and moved her body back a little.
Fortunately, Lu Si didn’t persist in clinging to her.
Mei Shu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly began to tell the stories her mother used to tell her before bedtime.
Even in this second life, she couldn’t prevent her mother’s death.
If only she could go back in time to before her mother was born, she would have protected Bai Ling and ensured she didn’t suffer any harm.
Lost in her thoughts, Mei Shu’s voice involuntarily became choked with emotion.
A clearly defined hand suddenly extended in front of her.
Mei Shu subconsciously held her breath and then saw the hand gently touch her cheek, wiping away her tears.
“Sister, don’t cry. Xiao Bao is very well-behaved! If anyone bullies you, Xiao Bao will teach them a lesson for you!”
Lu Si made her laugh, and the nostalgia and sadness in her heart were buried deep within as she playfully tapped his eyes with her hand, unable to conceal her joy in her tone. “Xiao Bao is not well-behaved at all. We agreed to sleep, so why are you still awake?”
“Xiao Bao will sleep right away!”
Seemingly sensing her dissatisfaction, Lu Si immediately closed his eyes, but his hand around her waist instinctively tightened.
Soon, the man in her arms began to emit long and steady breaths.
[Congratulations, Master, for pleting the mission. Reward: 10 points]
[Congratulations, Master, on pleting ten missions. You have received a random blind box. Would you like to open it immediately?]
“Open it.”
[Congratulations, master, on obtaining a Pocket Space. The space can only store inanimate objects and cannot acmodate plants or animals.]
Mei Shu’s eyes lit up. She didn’t expect her luck to be this good!
With the Pocket Space, she could store many things that were inconvenient to carry around!
“Miss, you’ve worked hard. Now that the young master is asleep, we’ll take him home first.” Jiang He and Jiang Hai walked over and smiled apologetically at Mei Shu.
Mei Shu readily agreed. Since the mission was pleted and his family was by his side, what reason did she have to continue staying with him?
She watched as the two carried the sleeping man into the car, and Mei Shu casually hailed a car to return to the Mei family.
As soon as she entered the house, Wang Yue stood expressionless in her way. “I underestimated you before.”
Mei Shu sneered, unwilling to show weakness. “Since both sides have revealed their cards, go ahead and use whatever means you have. Just don’t give me a chance to bite back.”
Wang Yue was itching with hatred, but at that moment, Mei Yun descended the stairs.
She heard the footsteps and immediately put on a kind smile. Turning around, she walked to Mei Yun’s side, linking her arm with his. “Honey, I just had the kitchen prepare a large table of dishes, mostly made according to your and Mei Shu’s tastes. I thought after the incident at the daytime banquet, you both probably didn’t eat well. Now that we’ve closed the door and it’s just our family, let’s celebrate Mei Shu properly.”
“You’ve thought of everything.”
Mei Yun was satisfied with her concern for Mei Shu and felt somewhat guilty towards his daughter. He rarely softened his tone and waved his hand towards her, saying, “Let’s go. Let’s see what delicious food Auntie prepared for you in the dining room.”
“Dad, where’s my eldest brother?”
After they separated at the banquet, Mei Shu didn’t have a chance to thank him.
In her previous life, when she was critically ill in the hospital, only this brother would secretly e to visit her.
Mei Feng was closest to her among her younger brothers. She really wanted to find an opportunity to sit down and have a good conversation with him.
“Mei Feng went back to school. He said he’s been busy with his studies lately, so he won’t be ing home for now. The other two are still upstairs doing their homework. Go and call them downstairs.”
When Mei Yun said this, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Since his daughter returned, both younger sons unexpectedly developed a love for studying, which made him, as a father who hoped for his children’s success, feel doubly pleased.
Although he didn’t know if Mei Jing would be able to catch up and get into a better high school now that he had started to work hard, there was always a glimmer of hope since he was willing to put in the effort.
Mei Shu nodded and said, “Okay, Dad, I’ll go call my brothers downstairs for dinner.”
After saying that, Mei Shu went straight upstairs and into Mei Yan’s room. As soon as she opened the door, she heard the little guy sighing.
“Brother, this problem is too difficult.. Can you explain it to me? Otherwise, Sister will definitely punish me when she es back!”
