Chapter 179: A Visitor Arrives

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This was exactly what Fu Niao wanted.

She readily agreed and followed the butler to tend to her wound.

In the living room, Lin Chen continued to chat with Lu Li, buying time for his niece.

After applying the medicine, Fu Niao made an excuse to take a stroll in the garden, quietly heading in the direction Lu Si had left earlier.

The Lu family estate covered a vast area, and she wandered around inside like a headless fly, almost getting lost.

Coincidentally, as she passed by a villa, she heard a young woman’s hearty laughter coming from inside.

Fu Niao stopped in her tracks, leaned closer to the window, and eavesdropped.

Mei Shu’s ears perked up, hearing the footsteps stop beneath the window. She thought someone had come to visit the Lu family but didn’t pay much attention and continued to tease S. “You’re about to lose if you don’t speed up!”

S was even more anxious than her, and his fingers continued to fly across the keyboard. However, his progress on the screen was still slower than Mei Shu’s by quite a bit!

“Are you even human?” S grumbled in frustration. But in his pursuit of speed, he neglected the quality of his work, causing frequent errors that only slowed him down further.

F stood aside with a smile, hoping that S would lose so that he could have some free labor!

S knew exactly what his teacher was thinking, and his hands moved even faster.

But Mei Shu continued to work on her program leisurely, and she even found time to respond to him, “Of course, we’re all humans, but there are always differences between people. You’re already doing great!”

As soon as she said this, even Lu Si couldn’t hide a smile and laughed.

S was even more furious, “Don’t get too confident! The game is not over yet; 1 still have a chance!”

He had entered the field much earlier than Mei Shu, and now being spoken to like this by her made him lose face!

Moreover, if he lost to a woman in the field of computers, how would he ever live it down?

For a moment, there was no one speaking in the room, only the sound of keyboards clacking.

Fu Niao had been tense ever since she heard that low, restrained laughter.

Her hearing was excellent, and she could tell that the voice belonged to the man she had been thinking about day and night, Lu Si!

But she also sensed the affection in that laughter.

A woman’s keen sixth sense told her that Lu Si would not have a pure relationship with the woman he had been talking to just now.

She suppressed her calculating expression, appearing innocent instead, and knocked on the door.

F glanced at Lu Si, then came over to open the door. He was surprised to find a girl standing outside. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Fu Niao, mustering her courage, glanced inside.

From her perspective, she could only see the woman’s back and Lu Si sitting on the couch, revealing a pair of long legs.

She swallowed hard and hesitated, saying, “I came to visit the Lu family with my uncle. I got lost in the garden earlier while admiring the scenery. Could 1 come in for some tea?”

Sweat covered her forehead, and she genuinely looked like a tired girl who had lost her way.

F stepped aside to let her in and quietly warned her, “Master Si is inside, so please don’t disturb him.”

Fu Niao nodded timidly. “1’11 leave once I’ve rested.”

F sized her up and suddenly smiled with a hint of meaning. He turned to the bar and poured her a glass of iced tea. “Come and sit here. Master Si doesn’t like strangers getting too close.”

Fu Niao tightened her fist by her side, walked over obediently, and took the glass of tea Mei Shu handed her. She downed it in one gulp, and her flushed face seemed to cool down. “Thank you. I feel much better now!”

“That’s good,” F said without paying her any more attention. He walked behind his two students and asked, “How much longer?”

Mei Shu confidently tapped the final confirmation key and snapped her fingers. “Done!”

F followed closely behind, but he was a minute slower, dejectedly saying, “Okay, Teacher, please check it.”

“Sure, you two can take a break over there. I’ll check it right away,” F said as he sat in Mei Shu’s seat. He glanced at the program that Mei Shu had just completed and nodded in approval.

While Mei Shu was busy checking the program, Mei Shu, sitting on the nearby couch, stretched lazily. Before she could say anything, a cup of tea appeared in front of her.

The hand holding the teacup had clearly defined knuckles, and there was a jade thumb ring on the thumb. Following that hand upwards, she saw a man’s smiling face with rosy lips. He said to her, “You’ve worked hard.”

“Thank you.” Mei Shu accepted the teacup and took a sip. However, she sensed an unfriendly gaze from the side, focused squarely on her.

She remembered that there had been some commotion earlier.

Following that gaze, she unexpectedly met the envious eyes of Fu Niao.

But in an instant, the emotions in those eyes turned friendly, as if the earlier malice had been a misunderstanding on Mei Shu’s part.

She lowered her eyelids thoughtfully and took another sip of the tea that Lusi had personally handed her. The scorching gaze once again landed on her..
