Chapter 1215: Beautiful Music (12)
“Young Miss, Old Master asked you to go over.” Aunt Zhou stood at the door and called her softly.
“Oh, okay.”
She looked at Zhuang Mengmeng. “Have a good rest. When you feel better, make some food for me.”
Zhuang Mengmeng: “???”
Ming Shu didn’t lock the room after she left. Zhuang Mengmeng could see the corridor outside.
Seemed like she was really safe.
Zhuang Mengmeng didn’t know if she should feel relieved.
…
Old Master Wen was in the study alone. The bodyguards had left.
“Yinyin, have a seat.”
Ming Shu sat beside Old Master Wen.
“Yinyin, I have something to tell you…”
Ming Shu made an X with her hand. “If you are going to tell me about some arranged marriage I’ve had since young, I will reject it!”
“Huh?” Old Master Wen was stunned. He started laughing. “It’s not about this.”
“???” If it’s not about an arranged marriage, what could it be?!
Old Master Wen turned serious. “From today onward, your Brother Yu Shen will be staying with us. You might meet some inconveniences. I have given him the third floor. You will not be affected.
“Also, you must be careful when you are outside. I’ll hire bodyguards for you.
“You two are same-aged childhood friends. if you can, accompany him more. He… is quite pitiful.”
Ming Shu retaliated. “Grandfather, if I remember correctly, we were just neighbors when we were young. That is not a childhood friend.”
Old Master Wen replied, “You two are childhood friends.”
“You are the old master. Anything you say is right. If there’s nothing else, I will go eat some food now.”
“Huh?” Old Master Wen stopped her. “Why are you eating so much recently. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me.”
Ming Shu found an excuse for herself. “Maybe I’m still growing.”
Ming Shu left the study and went to the dining hall.
Aunt Zhou hadn’t finished making food so Ming Shu went into the kitchen.
“Young Miss, this is Young Master Yu’s.”
Aunt Zhou stopped Ming Shu’s hand quickly.
Ming Shu: “…”
Ming Shu looked at another dish.
“Young Miss, that is Young Master Yu’s too.”
Ming Shu sighed. “Aunt Zhou, is there anything for me?”
s.n.a.t.c.hing my food at my house!
Don’t let me see this childhood friend of mine!
Aunt Zhou looked at her apologetically. “I’m still making your food. Why don’t you have some snacks first?”
Ming Shu hugged her snacks and went to Zhuang Mengmeng’s room.
“Zhuang Mengmeng, the organization has an important task for you!”
“Organ… organization?” Zhuang Mengmeng suddenly stammered. “What… what task?”
…
Zhuang Mengmeng took some time to understand the situation. She looked at the ap.r.o.n she was wearing. This was an important task?
Which organization needed such things!
“Miss Mengmeng, these are your ingredients.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Aunt Zhou waved her hand. “I have to thank you instead. I’m really busy today. I was afraid that Young Miss would be angry.”
Last time, there was only Young Miss and Old Master in the house. They were not picky about their food so she was able to cope.
However, the young man that came today had a special diet. Aunt Zhou felt tired from all the work.
Old Master had hired more servants; they would be coming tomorrow.
“Erm… is her temper bad?” Young Miss seemed like a friendly person, although she said some weird things sometimes.
“Young Miss’s temper is good.” Aunt Zhou smiled. “She’s just easily hungry these past few days. Maybe she is still growing so she needs to eat more.”
“Oh is it…”
“Yes. Young Miss never brought any friends home before.” Aunt Zhou smiled. “Young Miss seems happier recently. It must be due to her friends. This is good…”
Zhuang Mengmeng: “…”
She didn’t dare to say anything.
She was not her friend. She was just picked up from the street.
Zhuang Mengmeng cooked really quickly. The visual was not good, but the taste was delicious. You could tell how nice the food was when Ming Shu asked for another bowl.
“Are you interested in becoming a chef?”
Zhuang Mengmeng rejected the idea. “My dream is to become a teacher.”
“What is so good about being a teacher? A human should live to eat.”
“Humans should have ambition.”
“But if you don’t eat, you’ll die.”
“…” This makes sense.
Aunt Zhou came down with the food. Ming Shu glanced at the plate. None of the food was touched.
After that, Aunt Zhou continued working in the kitchen to remake the food.
“You house…” Zhuang Mengmeng looked at the bodyguards in the living room. “Is it always like this?”
“You might not believe it but when I left this morning, it was not like this. I only know that someone is living in our house after I came back. Look, Aunt Zhou can’t even cook for me now.”
Zhuang Mengmeng looked at Ming Shu.
Zhuang Mengmeng asked Ming Shu the question she always wanted to ask: “How did you save me?”
Ming Shu started engaging in wild talk. She exaggerated everything and made herself sound like an invincible hero.
After experiencing many hardships, she finally saved Zhuang Mengmeng.
Zhuang Mengmeng: “…”
She didn’t believe anything Ming Shu said.
It was hard to believe it.
Ming Shu was curious. “Why did that person want to abduct you?”
“Uhh…”
Ming Shu didn’t mention supernatural powers just now so Zhuang Mengmeng didn’t know where to start.
“Don’t worry, I know about supernatural powers.”
Zhuang Mengmeng blinked. “Are you a mutant too?”
If that was the case, it would not be difficult for Ming Shu to save her.
“No.” Ming Shu smiled. “I’m just a normal person.”
Zhuang Mengmeng was shocked. Wouldn’t normal people be wiped of their memory?
Most importantly…
How could a normal person save her?
Zhuang Mengmeng had a meal with Ming Shu so she felt more relaxed around her.
“I’m not sure, either. They said that… I can suck supernatural powers and told me that I’m special. This is my third time being abducted. I was saved by the Supernatural Power Administration the last two times.”
Zhuang Mengmeng felt depressed. “My life is a mess now. I don’t know why I’ve been involved in such things.”
Ming Shu patted her shoulders. “When G.o.d is about to grant a man great responsibility, he will first let him practice his cooking skills.”
“Huh?” Did she learn fake proverbs?
“You will only have the energy to struggle if you fill up your stomach.” Ming Shu smiled as she spoke.
Zhuang Mengmeng: “…” This actually made sense to her.
“I… I will cause trouble for you all,” Zhuang Mengmeng said. “Why don’t I leave this place first. I will definitely repay you in the future.”
“Don’t be afraid. There’s a bunch of bodyguards here. We can always run away first if something happens.”
Run… away first?
We can do this?
But…
Those are other people’s bodyguards.
Zhuang Mengmeng grabbed her hands tightly. “Those are mutants. If you saw their powers, you would know that normal people are not their match.”
