Chapter 36: Dinner Together
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Since Mei Shu had the ability to remember things at a glance, she could read books very efficiently and had no problem memorizing more than ten to twenty pages in one class. In order to make money, Mei Shu planned to go to the bookstore after school to buy some chapter exercises to practice.
In order to receive the system’s money reward, Mei Shu not only had to complete every question on the exercise paper but also achieve a passing score.
Since she hadn’t finished reading all the textbooks, Mei Shu couldn’t do comprehensive papers, so she could only do chapter exercises. Although the money earned wasn’t much, the important thing was to accumulate, right?
After reviewing all the subjects for three years, Mei Shu could finally do the comprehensive papers and receive higher monetary rewards.
Mei Shu was full of ambition at the thought of it!
There were many coaching exercises in the bookstore, and Mei Shu was a bit overwhelmed. She compared several famous exercise books.
Coincidentally, Li Zhen also came to the bookstore to buy books. Seeing Mei Shu, he approached her. “Mei Shu, are you picking out exercise books?”
Mei Shu turned her head and saw Li Zhen. “Hmm.”
Mei Shu replied softly before turning back to continue picking.
Mei Shu’s cold attitude made Li Zhen more curious. He couldn’t help but wonder if she was playing “hard to get” to attract his attention again, as she had acted coldly before showing interest.
Li Zhen enjoyed it when girls played these little tricks for him, and he found himself entranced by Mei Shu’s profile. Although everyone said that Mei Mu was the most beautiful girl in the school, it was Mei Shu’s appearance that made him see what perfect bone structure meant.
Li Zhen was confident that as Mei Shu grew older, her facial advantages would become more apparent. But for now, not many people had discovered this gem wrapped in stone, and he was proud of his keen eye for beauty. He also had the urge to claim her as his own before anyone else.
Mei Shu knew Li Zhen was looking at her, and she impatiently frowned and turned to ask, “Have you seen enough?”
Li Zhen was taken aback. Mei Shu was about to scold him.
[Master, new mission! Let Li Zhen invite you to dinner!]
Mei Shu swallowed the words that were already on her lips and forced herself to calm down. [Can’t you release the mission earlier next time? I almost died of choking back my words!]
Mei Shu adjusted his emotions and smiled. “Do I look good?”
Since most of the girls he had encountered before blushed when they saw him, this was the first time Li Zhen had been asked so directly by the opposite sex. He found it a bit novel and slightly tilted the corner of his mouth to reveal his most charming smile, “Yes.”
Not everyone was suited to this way of smiling, and Mei Shu couldn’t help but shiver when she saw Li Zhen’s greasy appearance.
[Li Zhen wasn’t like this in his past life! I really want to slap him and balance his mouth.]
[Uh… maybe in this life, you have a different attitude towards him, so his desire to show off is a bit excessive.]
Mei Shu thought Little Eight had figured out the truth. After all, even though Li Zhen had taken the initiative in their past life, Mei Shu was very insecure at the time and felt that she wasn’t good enough for him. So whenever she was around him, she unconsciously tried to please him.
Mei Shu saw that Li Zhen had a book in his hand, so she changed the subject and asked, “What book do you want to buy?”
Li Zhen held up the book and said, “I also came to choose exercise books. Have you picked yours yet? Do you need my help?”
“No need,” Mei Shu instinctively wanted to refuse, but she remembered her quest just now and had to force a smile and ask, “Are you hungry? I suddenly feel very hungry.”
Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment but quickly responded, “A little. Let me treat you to something to eat.”
Seeing that Li Zhen was so thoughtful, Mei Shu gave him a rare genuine smile and said, “Sure, it’s my pleasure.”
Mei Shu picked out exercise books and exam papers for each subject and went to the cashier. She didn’t want to owe Li Zhen any favors, so she voluntarily paid for his book as well, thus making it even.
But in Li Zhen’s eyes, Mei Shu was intentionally trying to please him by letting him treat her to something to eat, so she could help him buy the exercise book.
Thinking that Mei Shu might want him to think of her whenever he saw the exercise book, Li Zhen found Mei Shu very cute.
There was a cake shop next to the bookstore, so they turned left and went in.
Meishu didn’t want to let the scumbag take advantage of her, so she deliberately chose several sweets that were similarly priced to that exercise book.
