After Mei He got out of the car, Mei Yan and Mei Jing rushed over eagerly.
Mei He was so frightened that he shrank behind Mei Shu.
Mei Feng frowned and instinctively scolded them, “Don’t be so excited; you’ll scare Mei He. Stand back!”
Mei Yan obediently said, “Oh,” and reluctantly took small steps backward.
Mei Jing sneered disdainfully but obediently moved to the side as well.
Once again, only Mei Shu was left around Mei He.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the grip on Mei Shu’s clothes loosened slightly.
Wrinkles appeared in the area he had held, and Mei He, feeling guilty, glanced at it several times. Then, he timidly grabbed the sleeve of Mei Shu’s clothes and whispered, “Sister, I’m sorry. I damaged your clothes.”
Mei Shu was momentarily stunned, then soothingly touched his head, “Don’t worry. Sister won’t blame you. Let’s go inside and take a look, alright?”
Mei He, hearing that she wasn’t blaming him and there was no intention of hitting him, immediately showed an innocent smile, “Thank you, sister.”
Butler Zhao knew that Mei He would be living at home from today onwards. So last night, he had arranged for people to tidy up his room, placing every item almost exactly where it was before he fell ill.
This significantly lowered Mei He’s guard.
He looked almost infatuatedly at every carefully arranged detail in the room, reminiscent of when his mother used to arrange things for him.
Mei Shu patted his shoulder and asked in a soft voice, “Xiao He, from now on, you’ll be living here. This is your room, and if you don’t want us to come in without your permission, no one will. Okay?”
Mei He’s eyes lit up with joy.
It had been a long time since he had shown such a lively expression.
In school, Mei He was like a gloomy teenager, rarely showing a smile. He also disliked teachers using concern as a reason to enter his room without permission.
This made him feel very insecure.
But now, things were different. His sister said that this room belonged only to him!
Seeing Mei He happy, Mei Shu was also pleased.
“Mei He, do you remember what our rooms look like?”
Mei He fell silent for a moment, his eyes filled with loneliness. “I, I don’t remember.”
“It’s okay if you don’t remember. Mei He, we can take you to see them. You can come to my room anytime you want!” This time, Mei Jing took the initiative to speak before Mei Shu.
He also cared about his younger brother and wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him.
But Mei He was still unfamiliar with him.
Hearing him suddenly speak so loudly, Mei He was frightened, shivering all over with fear.
Mei Feng disapprovingly furrowed his brows and scolded him, “Xiao Jing, you need to be careful with your words at home. Don’t scare Xiao He; he’s not fully recovered yet.”
“Oh, 1 know.” Mei Jing scratched his head apologetically. This time, he lowered his voice and continued to speak gently to Mei He, “Xiao He, I’m sorry. 1 made a mistake. Don’t be afraid. I’ll take good care of you. There are many fun toys in my room. Shall we go take a look now?”
Mei He, after all, was still a child. In school, he had seen other children receiving fun toys from their families, but he never had any. There was an inexplicable envy in his heart.
Now, hearing Mei Jing say this, he gathered the courage to ask, “Really? Can I play with them?”
“Of course!” Mei Jing, once again, spoke loudly without thinking. However, he quickly realized his mistake and lowered his voice to speak softly and coaxingly to Mei He, “As long as you like them, I can give them all to you! Let me tell you a secret: there are many toys that I don’t even let Yanyan touch!”
Mei Yan, on the side, snorted coldly. Talcing advantage of his short stature, he squeezed in front of Mei He, showing a sweet smile on his face. “Brother, I also have many toys to give you. You can go to my room first!”
“Brother?” Mei He felt very unfamiliar with this address, but perhaps because of the blood connection, he looked at Mei Yan with less wariness, and a hint of affection even appeared in his eyes.
He nodded heavily to Mei Yan and said, “Okay!”
Mei Yan happily grabbed Mei He’s hand and walked out.
Mei Jing was left behind, looking dumbfounded. He glared at Mei Feng resentfully, “Why is Xiao He so close to that brat Yanyan? Am 1 that intimidating as an older brother?”
Mei Feng glanced at him, too lazy to deal with his childish behavior. Worried that Mei He might not adapt well to the new environment, she hurriedly followed him.
Mei Jing could only turn his injured gaze to his sister.
Mei Shu sighed and said, “Xiao Jing, you have to admit that sometimes Yanyan is indeed more approachable than you. Work harder.”
After speaking, she patted Mei Jing’s shoulder with a deep meaning and left with Mei Feng.
In the room, Mei Jing was left alone, overwhelmed by a sense of frustration and self-doubt..
