Mei Shu’s whole body stiffened. She looked incredulously at the hands clasped between them and then at the innocent yet childish look in the man’s eyes.
“No way?” She dragged him under the shade of a tree, then grabbed the collar of his shirt and asked, “Who are you now?”
Lu Si innocently blinked his eyes. “Sister, what are you talking about?”
Mei Shu took a cold breath. “How did you suddenly change back? Don’t tell me it was an act?”
The man opposite tilted his head, obviously struggling to understand the meaning of her words.
“Sister, why are you looking at Xiao Bao like that?”
Mei Shu took a deep breath, slowly released her grip on his collar, and smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt.
“Nothing, let’s go play something else.”
Since he had inexplicably returned to normal, Mei Shu couldn’t just leave him alone, especially since she had an agreement with Lu Si before.
Lu Si had helped her a lot, and it wouldn’t be right to break the agreement now.
That would be too selfish.
So, with a sense of helplessness, Mei Shu took him to line up for another high-altitude attraction.
Listening to the deafening screams in the air, Lu Si shivered all over and held Mei Shu’s hand, trembling slightly. “Sister, shall we not play this? Xiao Bao is scared!”
“No, we’re playing,” Mei Shu said solemnly, squeezing his hand.
She didn’t believe that Lu Si’s sudden return to normal was a coincidence. She wanted to try again.
Mei Shu guessed that maybe when Xiao Bao was most afraid, Lu Si’s main personality could regain control.
So when the bungee jumping queue reached them, they staged a comical scene of a tough guy bursting into tears.
For a moment, everyone was staring at them.
Lu Si, with tears streaming down, clung to the staff and refused to let go.
“Sister, 1 don’t want to play this. Let’s choose another one, sister! Xiao Bao begs you!”
His tears and snot mixed and smeared on the staff member’s clothes.
Mei Shu could faintly see the speechless look on the staff member’s face and quickly dragged Lu Si to the edge of the cliff. “If you’re scared, you can hold on to Sister. Nothing will happen. Be good.”
Lu Si peeked down, then cried even louder, “No! Xiao Bao doesn’t want to play this!”
Mei Shu quickly covered his mouth. “Don’t shout! If you cry again, Sister won’t talk to you anymore.”
Lu Si, with a sniffling nose, said aggrievedly, “Sister, Xiao Bao doesn’t want to play this.”
It had to be said that a good-looking man tearfully begging a woman in public was quite touching.
Mei Shu felt that everyone around was touched by his tears.
But she still whispered, “Sister wants to play this. Xiao Bao will accompany Sister this time, okay?”
Lu Si pouted, his expression looking like he was about to cry again. However, he obediently hugged Mei Shu, resembling a giant pet dog that had been wronged.
Mei Shu couldn’t help but raise his hand and stroke his head. “Be good. It’ll finish soon.”
With that, she motioned to the staff that they could begin.
Looking at the ten-story-tall cliff in front of her, she was actually very afraid, but in order to verify her thoughts, she had no time to be afraid.
The safety ropes on her body had been tied up. Mei Shu took a deep breath and jumped down with Lu Si in her arms.
The intense weightlessness made her heart race. Even her hands that were holding Lu Si seemed to have no strength left.
Xiao Bao was already roaring in fear, but when they landed at the lowest point the safety rope could reach, the man’s roar suddenly stopped.
Mei Shu opened her eyes almost immediately and met Lu Si’s exceptionally calm eyes.
Mei Shu knew at a glance that Lu Si was back.
“You did it on purpose.” Lu Si’s voice melted into the wind, and the hands that were wrapped tightly around Mei Shu’s waist became cold.
Mei Shu slowly curled the corners of her mouth. She wanted to laugh out loud, but because the wind was too strong, she could only keep her mouth shut.
She had won the bet.
Lu Si should be recovering soon.
After a bungee jumping session, Mei Shu still held his hand without letting go.
She wanted to judge which personality was in control by the warmth in their palms.
“Do you remember what happened when you turned into Xiao Bao?” Mei Shu stared at him with dark and mysterious eyes.
Lu Si awkwardly cleared his throat, “Yes, but 1 only remember those two times. I didn’t remember before.”
Mei Shu thought for a moment. “How about trying a candy when you’re awake?”
Lu Si hesitated for a moment but agreed to her suggestion. He obediently took the lollipop she handed him, and the sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth. His eyes and eyebrows were also tainted with a sweet smile.
“Have you noticed that you’ve been laughing a lot lately?” Mei Shu pointed out the recent obvious changes in his personality.
Lu Si hadn’t thought about it. He carefully recalled and gave a negative answer, “No, I only laugh more in front of you.”
“Okay,” Mei Shu blushed and shifted her gaze away.
She was seriously discussing serious matters with him! How did this man learn to be so glib!
