Chapter 1217: Beautiful Music (14)

The ball stopped in front of Ming Shu. It hung in the air.

Yu Shen put his hand down. The ball seemed to have lost its energy and fell to the ground. It rolled toward Yu Shen.

He looked at Ming Shu. “Why didn’t you dodge?”

A dim light shone in through the window. Her entire body was engulfed in darkness. Yu Shen didn’t know what she was thinking.

He felt attracted to her. He wanted to peel the darkness away and see what was inside.

Was it heaven or was it hell?

“I’m just a normal person. How can I dodge an attack from a mutant?”

She didn’t move because she believed that he would not hurt her.Yu Shen retracted his gaze. “A normal person.”

The words were spoken lightly. If the room was not so quiet, Ming Shu would not be able to hear them.

Yu Shen ignored her and stared at the ball on the floor.

Ming Shu was too lazy to accompany him so she got down from the balcony.

The moment she got down, the noise started again.

Ming Shu: “…”

Lunatic!!

She covered her ears and tossed and turned in bed. In the end, she asked Little Beastie to form a globe of invulnerability around her to block out the noise.Console him?

Impossible.

She would never do something like that.

…

The next day…

Ming Shu saw Aunt Zhou when she went down. Aunt Zhou was carrying a plate of breakfast. Ming Shu made to take it. “Aunt Zhou, you came early today…”

“Young Miss…” Aunt Zhou stepped back. “This is not yours.”

Ming Shu’s smile got lighter.

Aunt Zhou felt awkward. Old Master asked them to take care of Young Master Yu first…Ming Shu laid on the table and sighed. When Old Master came back from his morning exercise and saw Ming Shu looking so tired, he got nervous. “What happened to you? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Hungry.”

“Oh, hungry…” Old Master Wen felt at ease. “Have some snacks first. I’ll go up and take a look at your Brother Yu Shen.”

“Hehe.” Who is his granddaughter!

Aunt Zhou came down and started preparing food for Ming Shu. The moment she took the food out, Old Master Wen came down with Yu Shen.

He had changed into casual clothes.

“Yinyin, have breakfast with your Brother Yu Shen.”

Old Master Wen smiled as he called Ming Shu. He asked Yu Shen to sit beside Ming Shu.

Ming Shu: “…”

Yu Shen looked up and greeted her softly. “Morning, Sister Sang Yin.”He looked at Ming Shu intently. His face was pale and there was no expression on it.

Ming Shu: “…”

Ming Shu bit her spoon and looked out of the window.

Did the sun rise from the west today?

Old Master Wen sat opposite them. “You two are young. You will have more in common. Spend more time together. Little Shen, if you are not used to staying here or if you need anything, you can tell Yinyin. Take this place as your own home.”

Yu Shen took the fork and knife on the table. “Okay.”

Ming Shu: “…” You agree so readily. Well, there is no difference anyway. I can tell from your attitude yesterday night.

“Yinyin is on holiday today. I’ll let her take you around later.”“Okay.”

Old Master Wen was satisfied with Yu Shen’s reply. Young people should stay with young people. They would be more energetic that way.

Ming Shu shook her head slightly. She quickly finished her breakfast. Why did this person come down and eat food with her when he could eat by himself in his room!

Is he stupid!

…

Ming Shu asked Aunt Zhou to bring breakfast up for Zhuang Mengmeng. Zhuang Mengmeng wanted to come down but when she saw the bodyguards standing below, she decided to stay in her room.

Old Master Wen left after handing Yu Shen over to her.

Ming Shu and Yu Shen looked at each other.

“Take me out?” Yu Shen spoke first.

“No mood. Let your bodyguards bring you.”

Yu Shen said, “You promised your grandfather.”

Ming Shu smiled. “I didn’t agree.”

She never acknowledged what her grandfather said.

Yu Shen was slightly disappointed. No one noticed his change in emotion.

Ming Shu remembered the day when he was running away.

Was he trying to run away again?

Ming Shu walked toward him with a sneaky smile. “If you satisfy me, I can take you out.”

“Satisfy you?” Yu Shen sounded seductive when he said the two words. “How do I curry favor with you?”

Ming Shu’s eyes landed on his body. She lifted her leg onto the table and said, “For example, with your body…”

Yu Shen glared at Ming Shu. He got up and made to go back to his room.

When Yu Shen heard laughter behind him, he realized that he was being teased.

He grabbed the railing and turned his head. The morning glow shone on her, making her look warm and gentle.

Ming Shu suddenly raised her head. In that instant, he saw love in her eyes.

It was enticing.

He wanted to get close to her and feel her.

Yu Shen blinked. Ming Shu got up slowly and said, “Come down. I’ll take you out.”

…

The bodyguards stayed vigilant when they learned that Yu Shen wanted to go out.

Because of Ming Shu’s identity, they didn’t dare to come too close. However, they were surrounded by bodyguards. Other people might feel that the leader of some country was here.

Ming Shu placed one hand in her pocket.

Yu Shen walked slowly. The wind blew past his hair and messed it up.

Yu Shen observed the surroundings. However, he was disappointed. There were bodyguards everywhere.

Yu Shen remained patient. Even if there was no chance today, there would be a chance in the future.

“Where do you want to run away to?”

A pleasant voice appeared beside him.

Yu Shen turned and saw the girl smiling at him. She was walking close to him. He could feel her hand touching his fingers.

Yu Shen said, “I just want to take a walk.”

Ming Shu moved her fingers and touched his hand. Yu Shen felt that she was looking at him so he didn’t move. His body tensed up. He wanted to pull his hand away but he didn’t.

He felt his fingers being taken. A soft hand slid into his palm and held his hand. “I can take you out but you can’t run away. If you do, my grandfather will kill me.”

By rights, Yu Shen should feel uncomfortable and fling her hand away. However, he didn’t.

He allowed her to hold his hand. He even… liked this feeling.

“Okay.”

He heard himself agreeing.

Ming Shu smiled at him and walked forward while holding his hand.

Yu Shen’s gaze landed on their hands. His heart was pounding furiously. He felt a sense of familiarity.

There were two paths ahead of them. The trees were flourishing in this area so he couldn’t see the bodyguards in front of him.

A gentle breeze blew past him.

Birds chirped.

Leaves rustled.

His hand was warm.

Yu Shen suddenly felt that he had found what he was looking for…
