Chapter 363 – Distracted In Exams
Yu Mei halted in her tracks, ''Alright, If that's what you want,'' With that said, she walked out of the house. Even if the whole world was not talking to her, she was going to survive anyway.
She tilted her head upwards and blinked a few times before putting on her shades.
As the elevator opened, she saw Jun Boyan standing inside, ''You are back so soon?" She asked him.
''I took the first flight,'' Jun Boyan was not surprised to see here, ''Do you have a cold?"
''No, why do you ask?"
''Your voice sounds like that,'' Jun Boyan felt something was amiss but he could not point his finger on it, ''Why are you wearing shades at this time?' He asked.
''I think I probably got an eye infection,'' She hugged him, ''Gotta go. I will see you later,'' With that said, she stepped inside the elevator leaving Jun Boyan confused.
Why did she not look like her usual enthusiastic self?
He quickly checked back on his words to think whether he said something that made her upset but thinking about it, there have been nothing as such.
Sigh… His brother might have killed him if he did something to upset her for real.
He wiped an invisible layer of sweat from his forehead before walking towards Shi Luo's apartment.
''Luoluo, I am back,'' He tested the waters as he knocked the door, despite having spare keys, pin code and everything else.
Soon, the door was opened from inside, ''Don't call me that,'' She said as she stepped inside the living room while tying her hair in a high messy bun.
She seems to have eaten some gun powder. Jun Boyan raised an eyebrow, ''Senior, I am making dinner. Will you join me?" He asked her.
''I am not hungry…'' Her stomach made a protesting noise even before she could finish her words properly.
Jun Boyan smiled, ''How about a little to give me some company?'' He asked, ''I don't feel good if I eat alone.''
''Since you are insisting so much, then alright,'' She said with a straight face before walking towards the kitchen.
Jun Boyan threw his bag and phone to the couch before he said, ''Senior, you can wash the vegetables. I will be there in two minutes.''
''No worries, freshen up first,'' Her emotionless voice came from inside.
After freshening up, Jun Boyan rolled up the sleeves of his shirt as he entered the kitchen before putting on the apron.
Shi Luo, who was leaning back on the kitchen counter looked at him as he chopped the vegetables with expertise, ''How was your paper?"
''I will pass,'' He smiled at her, revealing his dimples.
This little lamb. Shi Luo shook her head to regain her focus, ''What do you mean by pass? Mu Shen told me that you are an outstanding student. By saying that you will get pass marks, are you trying to fool me?"
Jun Boyan tilted his head to the side. Why was she easily provoked today? Did something happen between her and Yu Mei? But since the day he has known them, he has never seen them in an argument or anything like that.
They are always in sync.
''Of course not. If I am saying it to you, I am speaking the truth…'' Jun Boyan took a step to his right before he leaned towards her.
Shi Luo froze at the sudden proximity, ''And why would you do bad in exam?" She asked when their faces were barely a few inches apart. Her back was entirely pressed on the kitchen counter and Jun Boyan placed one of his hands towards her right side.
''It was my Mathematics paper today,'' Jun Boyan whispered as he looked at her face up so close, he could see her dense lashes fluttering through her glasses.
''So, you are weak at it?" Shi Luo whispered back while he completely towered over her with his well-built body.
There were only the both of them in the kitchen but for some reason, she could only whisper back at him instead of raising her voice.
''No, I was distracted and got a few answers wrong,'' He grabbed a tomato from behind her before stepping back.
Shi Luo exhaled a breath she did not know she was holding, ''Oh, why were you distracted?"
''I was thinking about someone,'' He said.
''Girlfriend?" Shi Luo tilted her head to the side as she crossed her arms in front of his chest.
''Well….'' Jun Boyan glanced at the vegetables and meat, ''Senior, are you interested in my private life?" He asked.
Shi Luo paused before she slowly shook her head, ''Just curious,'' She straightened up, ''I will be there in the living room. Tell me if you need any help.''
Her face grew warm as soon as she turned around. She felt a bit guilty for no reason.
…
Yu Mei parked the car in front of Ren Mansion before she alighted the car.
As soon as she entered the Mansion, a delicious aroma assaulted her senses making her halt in her tracks.
She glanced at Steward Gu who was standing in the living room, ''Young Mistress,'' He bowed.
Yu Mei removed the shades from her eyes as she walked towards him, ''Has Mia left?"
''Young Miss and Master are cooking dinner,'' Steward Gu said while looking at the kitchen.
Young Miss? Yu Mei blinked, ''Mia is cooking?"
''Indeed.''
''Alright, I will come downstairs after freshening up. And you can go back to your room already,'' She sighed, ''You don't need to stand here, waiting for me to greet me.''
Steward Gu felt embarrassed, ''But that's my job.''
Yu Mei patted his shoulder, ''That's not your job. Just go and have some rest,'' Before he could say something, she added, ''You have to value my words a little since you call me Young Mistress. Or else I will feel like I am not taken seriously at all,'' She sighed dramatically.
Steward Gu was speechless but he also felt a warmth in his heart, ''Alright, Young Mistress,'' He bowed before he turned to walk towards his room.
