Chapter 407: I Want to Be Friends with Miss
In the backyard, in a small pavilion.
Shi Yi took out his handkerchief and wiped the stone stool. “Miss Yu, please sit.”
“Thank you!”
Yu Mingyue smiled and thanked him.
“Miss Yu, actually, I…”
“You invited me here today, right?”
The two of them sat silently for a while. Shi Yi was about to explain when Yu Mingyue spoke with a faint smile.
Shi Yi was surprised. “You know everything?”
“I guessed so.”
Yu Mingyue smiled faintly.
Lu Sheng said that she had something to discuss with her, but she found an excuse to avoid it like Chu Sihan and Yun Ting did. Then, she got Shi Yi to take care of her. As such, Yu Mingyue could vaguely guess it.
“Young Master Shi, may I know why you’re looking for Mingyue?”
“Nothing much.”
Shi Yi scratched his head and smiled foolishly. “I just think that you have a good personality and want to be friends with you.”
“Young Master Shi, you’re too kind.” Yu Mingyue lowered her eyes slightly, her cheeks blushing.
When Shi Yi heard that, he hurriedly said, “I’m not being polite. I do think that you have a good personality.”
Yu Mingyue glanced at him and smiled.
Shi Yi thought that he had surprised Yu Mingyue and hurriedly explained, “I’ve always been a straightforward person. If I’m rash, please forgive me!”
Yu Mingyue looked up slightly and met his gaze. Then, she hurriedly lowered her head and said softly, “It’s my honor that Young Master Shi wants to befriend me.”
“You… have agreed?”
Shi Yi could not believe it.
“We’re just becoming friends. Why wouldn’t I dare to agree?”
Yu Mingyue tucked her hair behind her ear and finally looked up at him.
“That’s great!”
Shi Yi shouted happily. He realized that he had been rude and hurriedly coughed to hide his embarrassment.
Yu Mingyue chuckled.
“Hehe—”
Shi Yi laughed foolishly and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “Can I call you by your name?”
“Of course.”
Yu Mingyue did not care much about these. She felt that names were meant for others to use.
“It’s quite cold outside. Shall we go back and have some hot tea?”
Seeing Yu Mingyue rubbing her wrist, Shi Yi hurriedly suggested.
“Okay.”
When the two of them returned to the room, they saw that the Third Prince, Shangguan Dian, and the rest had disappeared. Lu Sheng was left sitting alone.
“You’re back? Sit down and drink some hot tea to warm yourselves up.”
Lu Sheng stood up and smiled at the two of them.
“Where’s the rest?” Shi Yi asked softly.
“They’ve just left.”
Lu Sheng let the two of them sit down and got someone to make a pot of tea.
“Miss Yu, do you have anything you want to eat? I’ll get someone to cook for you.”
Lu Sheng asked with a smile as she wiped the table.
Yu Mingyue shook her head. “No need. I came over after my meal.”
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng smiled and looked at the two of them. “Please take a seat. If you need anything, just let me know.”
She even winked at the two of them before returning to the counter.
Recently, Lu Ran and He Lai had returned to the academy. Hence, there were two fewer helpers.
“Lu Sheng!”
Lu Sheng had just brought out the account book and was about to check it when she saw Liang Ping and Mdm Chen rush in.
“Brother Liang, sister-in-law, why are you here?”
Lu Sheng hurried out of the counter and asked the duo, “Have you eaten?”
“Yes!”
After replying, Mdm Chen hurriedly pulled her aside.
“What’s wrong, sister-in-law? Did something happen at home?”
Mdm Chen looked a bit anxious. Lu Sheng hurriedly asked in a low voice.
