“Jing, you take your classmate downstairs first. I’ll talk to Xiao He for a while, and I’ll come over soon.” Mei Shu leaned against the door and instructed.

Mei Jing obediently nodded, “Sure, if you or Xiao He need anything, just call me anytime.”

After saying that, he took Chen Guo downstairs.

In the corridor, only Mei Shu and Mei He were left.

Mei He finally relaxed his tense shoulders, guiltily rubbing his fingers, “Sis, did I interrupt you two from talking?”

“What are you talking about? Sister volunteered to stay and accompany you. Let’s go inside and talk.” Mei Shu took his hand and led him into the room.

“What did Xiao He want to do when he went out just now?” Mei Shu asked as he comforted him.

Mei He hesitated, “1 heard Jing’s voice and wanted to find him.”

“Are you worried about him?” Mei Shu smiled knowingly, “He’s fine now. I will handle Mei Mu’s matter. You don’t need to worry about him.”

“No.” Mei He bit his lower lip, his eye corners turning red.

Mei Shu noticed that something was wrong with his expression. She sat in front of him, lowering her voice, “Then what is it? Can you tell Sis?”

Mei He nodded hesitantly, as if he had made a big decision. With uncertainty, he said, “Sister, on the day Jing had the accident, I seemed to see Uncle Chen Feng in the kitchen put the knife in Jing’s hand, but I’m not sure if I saw it correctly. So, I didn’t dare to speak out, afraid of accusing an innocent person.”

He also heard during dinner today about how his sister helped Uncle Chen Feng find his biological daughter. He thought that Mei Shu and the others might have a good relationship with Chen Feng, so he didn’t dare to speak out about this uncertain speculation.

The reason he wanted to ask Jing alone was to confirm this matter with him.

He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it before things were clear.

Mei Shu was momentarily stunned after hearing this, then she smiled, pulling his hand and saying, “Alright, sister knows about this. Sister has an idea about this matter. It’s brave of Xiao He to speak up. But next time, if you have something to tell your sister, don’t hesitate like this. Sister always believes in Xiao He.”

Mei He blushed and nodded obediently, “Xiao He knows.”

“Very good.” Mei Shu rubbed his head gently, looking at the empty dishes on the table. She couldn’t help but smile, “Does Xiao He want to try going downstairs to eat with everyone?”

Since being taken away by Chu Si, Mei He’s self-isolation had become more pronounced. Now, he only wanted to live alone in his room and dared not take a step outside the door.

Opening the door by himself today was already a great display of courage.

Mei He hesitated for a while, his hem already wrinkled from being clenched too tightly, but in the end, he shook his head and said, “Xiao He doesn’t want to go out. Xiao He wants to stay in the room. 1 don’t want to be deceived again!”

Mei Shu stood up, hugging his brother with a heartache, “Be good, Xiao He. Sister won’t bring people over casually anymore. Now, there’s only you in our house that can be trusted. Try to go out, okay? Sister will protect you well.”

Mei He’s eyes filled with tears, as if he had returned to the pouring rain that day. He walked alone in the rain, unable to find the way back, and his clothes were soaked by the rain.

He was afraid that his sister wouldn’t find him, leaving him wandering alone outside.

He wondered if his sister would think he was too stupid and easily deceived and taken away, and whether she would not bother to look for him, directly abandoning this troublesome burden.

He just really wanted to go home.

So much so that when he fell into the mud, he didn’t care to wipe the mud off his face first. He stubbornly kept moving his legs, walking in opposite directions when he changed directions.

He knew he was about to collapse. After a whole day, he was starving, the light rain gradually becoming heavy, completely overwhelming him.

Mei He felt his vision darken, but he didn’t want to fall like this.

The strong will to survive made him open his eyes again, shaking off the droplets on his eyelashes and moving to a corner to sit down and rest.

It was at this moment that the people Lu Si sent finally found him.

At first, Mei He was afraid that they were bad people, and no matter how they coaxed him, he refused to go with them. It was not until Lu Si personally called and showed him a picture of Mei Shu sleeping on a hospital bed that he believed they were here to help his sister find him. He was then brought back to the Mei family.

Since that day, he never left his room again.

Fortunately, there was a bathroom and a toilet in his room, so he could live quite well without leaving the room.

“Xiao He?”

Mei Shu wiped away the tears on her face. She realized that since waking up, she had only been concerned about confirming her own things and had overlooked Xiao He’s feelings.

Just hearing about that day from Lu Si’s mouth made her sad, let alone Xiao He. He was alone that day. How scared must he have been?

“It’s all because Sister is bad. Don’t cry. Sister apologizes to you. From now on, Sister will take good care of you.” Mei Shu wiped away his seemingly endless tears while her own eyes turned red as well..
