177 A Visit from An Old Acquaintance
i Shu couldn't help but frown.
Lu Si glanced in her direction and his smile disappeared instantly. "S, if you keep making noise, I'll declare you the loser and you won't need to compete with her."
Upon hearing this, the teacher and student, who had been arguing incessantly, finally noticed the two people standing at the door.
F, the hacker who had a stern look, instantly brightened up when he saw i Shu. His eyes were filled with longing for his beloved disciple. "Shu'er, you've finally co. Hurry up and help teach this brat a lesson; otherwise, he'll beco uncontrollable!"
i Shu walked into the room with an amused smile. She greeted F politely before curiously asking, "What were you all talking about just now?"
F said proudly, "I was telling this brat that in just a few days, your skills have already surpassed his. He didn't believe , so I called him here to compete against you. If you win, he'll have to work for for a month for free!"
S imdiately walked over, looking displeased. He glared at i Shu and said, "What if she loses?"
"Shu'er won't lose," F stated confidently about the outco of the upcoming competition.
This made S even more frustrated. "No, if we're going to compete, then you all should agree on a wager!"
i Shu smiled, "If I lose, I'll help you complete the project you're currently working on for free. How does that sound?"
"It's a deal!" S agreed enthusiastically, fearing that i Shu might change her mind later.
He had originally planned to teach i Shu this skill, but he hadn't expected his teacher to beat him to it.
Now, i Shu was offering herself willingly.
And he wasn't about to let this free labor opportunity slip away!
Lu Si had been calmly observing their argunt from the sidelines.
After i Shu and the others settled on the terms, she took the initiative to approach him. "So, this is what you urgently needed to discuss with ?"
"Not exactly," Lu Si replied casually, setting down his teacup. "There's another important reason."
"What is it?" i Shu asked, puzzled.
Lu Si lowered his gaze, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face. "I wanted to see you."
His voice was so soft that i Shu initially thought that the words that quickly dissipated into the air were just her illusion.
However, when she examined the emotions behind Lu Si's statent, she saw a big smile on his face.
i Shu's face instantly turned crimson, and she, who was usually articulate, suddenly found herself stamring. "Y-you, don't joke around. If you have sothing serious to discuss, just say it. I'll help if I can."
"This is a serious matter," Lu Si replied with conviction.
i Shu was left speechless.
In addition to the argunt between the master and disciple, she could hear her own heart beating like a drum in her ears.
Damn it, sotis having such good hearing was not a good thing!
She suddenly felt flustered, and just as she didn't know what to do, Jiang He entered the room and announced, "Mr. Si, Mr. Lu has requested your presence."
The two people who had been bickering inside imdiately fell silent.
Only soone as close as Master Si's older brother, Lu Li, could be addressed as "Mr. Lu" in front of him.
It seed that he had sothing very important to discuss with Master Si.
Lu Si stood up and said, "I'll be right back. Wait here and don't wander off."
i Shu blushed as she agreed.
Why did he sound like he was admonishing a mischievous child?
Lu Si continued to gaze at the flushed face of i Shu for quite a while, even after Jiang He urged him. Finally, he tore his gaze away from her face and resud his usual indifferent expression. "Let's go."
Jiang He felt like crying but had no tears.
He had a feeling that his earlier urging had made Master Si unhappy.
Lu Family's villa, living room.
Lin Chen was trying hard to flatter Lu Li. "Back when we were still studying together, I regarded you as my role model. Now, after so many years have passed, I can only look up to you from afar. It's clear that Mr. Lu's abilities are exceptional and beyond comparison to soone like ."
"You're too modest," Lu Li praised with a smile. "Miss Fu is so beautiful and is a talented student from a prestigious school. She undoubtedly has a bright future ahead."
Fu Niao blushed shyly and responded, "Uncle Lu, you're too kind. I have average abilities, but with your high expectations, I'll strive to study harder and not let you down."
"Mr. Lu, Master Si has arrived."
In the midst of the conversation, the butler happened to enter and report.
As the butler spoke, the confident Fu Niao suddenly beca tense. Even before Lu Si had arrived, she was already feeling uneasy.
Lin Chen gave her a reassuring look and smiled, "My niece treats Master Si as her idol. Now that she's about to et him in person, it's natural for her to feel a bit nervous."
"I can understand," Lu Li laughed heartily, but his heart grew colder.
The Lin family tried to get close to him, and it was one thing if they wanted to build a relationship. But they even dared to target Ah Si. It seed like they were determined and wouldn't give up easily.
