Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Hai’s pupils suddenly contracted, obviously shocked by her words.

When he was on the verge of death, he was saved by Lu Si, and he had secretly sworn to serve Master Si for the rest of his life, never considering his own life and death.

This was the first time someone had told him that his life was more important than anything else.

But as someone who should have died long ago, did he really have the right to think like this?

Jiang Hai snapped out of his daze and, pushing aside his unrealistic thoughts, solemnly said, “No, Miss Mei, your safety and Master Si’s safety should come first. Without you two, I wouldn’t even know what the meaning of living is, so…”

Mei Shu interrupted him somewhat surprisingly, “Don’t you have things you want to do or wishes you want to fulfill?”

Without hesitation, Jiang Hai shook his head. “No, my duty is to carry out the tasks assigned by Master Si. My current goal is to ensure your safety until we return to Lin City.”

Mei Shu was rendered speechless for a while. Then she patted his shoulder and said earnestly, “Then let me show you what real joy in life is.”

“Huh? How?” Jiang Hai asked puzzledly.

Three floors below the Luhuai Hotel, there was a bar.

Mei Shu sat in a booth, swaying her glass with a contented expression. The colorful lights around her kept changing, adding a mysterious charm to her stunning beauty.

Jiang Hai was restless. Amidst the deafening music, he leaned closer to Mei Shu and said, “Miss Mei, let’s go back to the room and rest. If Master Si finds out that you and I are in a place like this, he won’t let me off lightly.”

“Don’t worry. As long as you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, he won’t know. If he calls you, just say we’re resting in our respective rooms.”

Mei Shu waved off his concerns. “Relax, this is also an interesting experience in life!”

Jiang Hai broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He tried to persuade her, “Let’s go…”

Mei Shu clicked her tongue and signaled for a waiter. “Get him some drinks and find a pretty girl who sings well to come over and accompany us.”

“No, absolutely not!” Jiang Hai almost jumped off the couch. “Miss Mei, this is definitely not okay! Master Si will punish me severely.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got you!” Mei Shu pulled him back down. Soon enough, a girl in a short skirt with big wavy hair walked over.

Mei Shu’s eyes lit up as she patted Jiang Hai’s thigh. “Look, a beauty!”

Jiang Hai felt helpless. He gave a quick glance in her direction but quickly looked away. “Miss Mei, I’m not interested in this.”

“How do you know if you don’t try?” Mei Shu said mysteriously. “Hasn’t Master Si ever taken you to a place like this before?”

“Never! Master Si has always been clean-living and never comes to places like this!” Jiang Hai said, casting a disdainful glance at the crowd dancing on the dance floor. “Miss Mei, we can still leave now.”

“I’m not leaving. If you want to leave, go by yourself.” Mei Shu waved to the girl and had her sit between them.

“Hello, miss, sir, what song would you like to hear?” The girl gracefully poured drinks into Mei Shu’s and Jiang Hai’s glasses, then picked up the microphone. “Tonight, my time is all yours.”

Mei Shu smiled. “I don’t know what to listen to. You pick a song you’re good at singing. Oh, and my friend here is visiting for the first time and isn’t quite comfortable. Can you entertain him a bit more?”

As soon as she heard this, the girl’s ambiguous gaze immediately fell on Jiang Hai.

People who could come here were cither rich or noble. Which of those men wasn’t a regular at such places? It was rare to see a man as reserved as Jiang Hai here.

She suddenly became interested in Jiang Hai and deliberately moved closer to him. “Little brother, don’t be shy. We can just chat, sing, and drink. We won’t do anything else, okay?”

Jiang Hai hastily moved a considerable distance away, his voice cold and hard. “Don’t come near me. As long as you make Miss Mei happy, that’s enough.”

The woman covered her disappointment and looked back at Mei Shu. “Come on, let’s play dice while singing. I don’t know if this young lady knows how?”

Mei Shu smiled innocently. “I don’t. Sister, can you teach me?”

Her voice was sweet, and the woman softened immediately, eagerly showing her how to shake the dice cup and explaining the rules.

Mei Shu learned quickly and then remembered Jiang Hai. “Why are you sitting so far away? Come and play! This must be fun!”

Jiang Hai looked rather embarrassed. He was genuinely afraid of being punished by Lu Si later, but he also worried about Mei Shu’s safety. Reluctantly, he moved closer. “Miss Mei, let’s play for a bit and then go back, alright?”

Mei Shu’s eyes curved with a smile. “What’s the rush? The person we’re waiting for hasn’t arrived yet!”

Jiang Hai was surprised. “Who are you waiting for?”

Mei Shu just smiled and handed him the dice cup. “Try it..1‘
