Self-Reliance is Better than Seeking Help

"I can tell she has intentions towards me," Lu Si furrowed his brow. "What I'm asking is, why do you want me to have contact with her?"

Mei Shu was momentarily puzzled. "Well, she's very good-looking."

"So what?" Lu Si's tone carried a hint of frustration.

Mei Shu sensed it and decided to change her response. Instead of saying that Lu Si and Fu Niao's looks matched, she said, "I just wanted to see if you would like her type."

With that, the tension that had filled the car moments ago dissipated.

Lu Si, expressionless, asked, "Do you care so much about what type of girls I like?"

Mei Shu's survival instinct kicked in, and she quickly replied, "Of course, we're good friends!"

As she spoke the first half of her sentence, Lu Si's expression softened, but the second half caused him to let out a silent sigh.

"Never mind, I'll take you home for now."
