As the two conversed, thinking their voices were too low to be heard, Mei Shu was fully aware of every word. The loneliness in her eyes became even more apparent.
Mei Yan watched as his sister's hand paused for quite a while without writing another word. He pushed the fruit towards her with some concern. "Sister, I just tasted these grapes; they're very sweet. Have one, sister."
"Okay." Mei Shu tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing a smile, and ate a grape as suggested. However, it was sour, causing her eyebrows to furrow.
Mei Yan quickly extended his hand to her mouth. "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. Spit it out, sister."
Mei Shu smiled and directly swallowed the grape. "It's okay, just a grape."
Mei Yan still had some lingering worries. Seeing the two older brothers return, he desperately signaled them with his eyes.
Throughout the afternoon, Lu Si didn't call.
