Zhao Min felt a bit regretful, but didn’t want to give up. “Which class are you in? What’s your name?”

Mei Shu didn’t think too much and replied honestly, “My name is Mei Shu and I’m in the third year of high school, class six.”

Zhao Min was surprised to hear this. Mei Shu looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was almost time to meet with Lu Yan.

Mei Shu quickly picked up her backpack and said eagerly, “Teacher, I’m leaving now. Sorry for using your classroom.”

Mei Shu bowed slightly, then ran towards the library.

Zhao Min wanted to talk a little more, but seeing Mei Shu leaving in a hurry, she sighed lightly, “What a pity.”

Panting heavily, Mei Shu entered the library and searched for a long time before finally finding Lu Yan in a corner.She walked quickly towards him.

She sat down and apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry for being late!”

Lu Yan handed Mei Shu a tissue as he watched the sweat on her forehead, then replied in a low voice, “It’s okay. Don’t worry if you’re late next time. You might get a stomachache after running like that right after eating.”

Mei Shu wiped her sweat and nodded absent-mindedly. Lu Yan knew she wasn’t listening and shook his head helplessly.

After an hour of targeted tutoring from Lu Yan, Mei Shu felt that it equaled her own three-day study progress.

After leaving the library, Mei Shu was very grateful to Lu Yan. “Lu Yan, I’ll treat you to a big meal after I finish the college entrance examination!”

Lu Yan’s eyes were slightly narrowed, and a smile appeared on his lips. “That’s a deal. I’ll definitely make you treat me to a good meal.”

Mei Shu’s face lit up with a bright smile and she replied readily, “No problem. It’s my pleasure.”

Mei Shu and Lu Yan agreed to meet at that learning spot every day at 1 pm, then they returned to the classroom together.

Zhao Min didn’t see Mei Mu in the classroom and was worried that something had happened. She called several times before she finally reached Mei Mu.

Mei Mu didn’t plan to go to school this week. “Teacher, I don’t feel well. I won’t be going to school this week, but I’ll practice the piano at home.”

Zhao Min wondered about the feasibility of this and said with some concern, “Mei Mu, you may not notice your own problems, so why don’t we video chat while you practice? Since it’s a physical issue, I’ll accommodate it as much as I can, and we can practice for an hour after you finish school.”

Mei Mu was already frustrated with what happened today. She was just saying that to placate Zhao Min, but unexpectedly, the other party took it seriously.

Mei Mu’s face was full of impatience, but the tone of her words was very obedient. “Okay, thank you, teacher.”

After saying goodbye, Mei Mu rolled her eyes and hung up the phone.

Mei Mu felt that her piano skills were good enough and that she didn’t need to participate in the national piano competition for middle school students, let alone practice every day. She didn’t understand why Zhao Min insisted on tormenting her and kept saying that she had problems with empathy.

How could Zhao Min say that she played without emotions? She felt like she was immersed in the keys!

Mei Mu was still unwilling in her heart, but she had to pretend to be a good child.

However, at dinner time, when she saw Mei Shu, she thought about how she had caused her to be unable to return to school and stared at Mei Shu with resentment.

However, Mei Shu acted as if nothing had happened and took her two younger brothers upstairs to study after dinner.

Mei Mu watched Mei Shu disappear into the stairwell and frowned, shouting to Wang Yue, “Mom! Everyone in the class now knows about my bald head. She’s been doing great since she came back to the city, stealing all my good days!”

Wang Yue lightly tapped Mei Mu’s forehead with her index finger and said with frustration, “I told you not to act impulsively. You’re no match for that little b*tch. I miscalculated too. I never expected that sending her to the countryside for a few years wouldn’t have made her dull, but instead made her more cunning!”

Mei Mu was already annoyed, and being talked to this way by her mother, she sank onto the sofa impatiently and asked, “What’s your plan then? She made me look so bad. She must pay ten or a hundred times the price!”

Wang Yue hugged Mei Mu’s shoulder with distress and comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Mom won’t let her off. After the banquet, you will see her being despised by everyone and we can do whatever we want to her.”

Mei Mu felt much better after hearing her mother’s words and decided to stay at home and wait for Mei Shu’s scandal to break out. Then, she would be able to cover up her bald head.

Over the next few days, Mei Shu went to the Music Building to practice the piano again but didn’t encounter Zhao Min again. After several adjustments, Mei Shu and her musical skills had completely merged.
