Mei Feng looked at his younger brother inquiringly.
Mei He weakly nodded at him, âBrother, 1 really like it.â
Mei Feng sighed, âWell, as long as you like it.â
Mei Mu was clearly happy too, âXiao He is very talented. He learned it in no time, and he has already cut out many patterns this afternoon!â
On the table were the results of Mei Heâs efforts in the afternoon.
He had cut out some small cats and dogs, as well as a few little people holding hands with smiling faces.
Mei Feng couldnât help but reach out to pick up a piece of cut paper. Seeing the vivid expressions on those little figures, the anger in his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by genuine joy. âXiao He, are these us?â
âYes!â Mei He joyfully introduced, âThis is sister, this is brother, and also Xiao Jing and Yanyan. 1 want to stick them by the bedside!â
âXiao He, youâre amazing.â Mei Feng affectionately rubbed his head. âYouâve been playing for so long, you must be tired. Take a break, and later, Iâll have the kitchen make your favorite dishes.â
âOkay.â Mei He obediently followed his suggestion. When Mei Feng told him to rest, he promptly lay down on the bed.
Mei Fengâs lips curved in a helpless smile. He temporarily set aside his school bag and bent down to help tidy up the unnecessary scraps of paper on the table.
Mei Mu also joined in.
Mei Feng glanced at her, his face darkening. âDonât think that doing one good thing will make me forget what you did to my sister before. Iâll be on guard against you.â
Mei Mu sighed. âi donât expect you to trust me in the short term. Just watch. 1 really donât have any malicious intentions now. Whether you believe it or not, Iâve figured it out. Contradicting you wonât end well. Rather than being driven away and becoming homeless, itâs better to try to repair our relationship before the situation gets worse. After all, we are half-siblings, arenât we?â
These words made Mei Feng couldnât help but look at her seriously.
But he had long passed the age of being easily fooled. He wouldnât easily believe pretty words spoken by others. If Mei Mu really wanted to change, he would leave it to time to judge.
For him, no matter what Mei Mu said, he would keep an eye on her and not give her a chance to harm the people he cherished.
After the two of them cooperated to clean up the rubbish in Mei Heâs room, they came out together. Unexpectedly, they ran into Mei Jing, who had just come back from school.
Mei Jing obviously didnât expect to see Mei Feng and Mei Mu together. She was stunned for a moment and looked at Mei Feng in a daze. âBig brother, why are you with her? Donât let her deceive you!â
Mei Feng, with a cold face, threw the garbage into the trash can before pulling Mei Jingâs arm and going to his room to explain.
Mei Mu wasnât interested in eavesdropping in the corner. She had a lot of things to do now that she didnât have to go to school.
She had thought it over very clearly. She had plenty of time to rebuild her prestige at home. However, Mei Shu was about to graduate from high school soon.
When she went to college, this home would return to its previous state. There would only be Mei Mu as the only miss in the family. When Mei Shu returned from college, she would once again become a guest in this home.
With this in mind, she walked into the kitchen for the first time, washed her hands, and was about to help Butler Zhao.
Even if Butler Zhao didnât like her, he wouldnât openly confront her. All he could do was advise her with a bitter face, âSecond Miss, why donât you go to the living room and rest? Dinner will be ready soon, and you donât need to do these things at home.â
Mei Mu, however, casually shook her head. âUncle Zhao, 1 was ignorant before, only knowing how to be domineering at home. But now that my mom is gone, I want to learn to take care of myself and try my best to take care of my younger brother. Donât worry; I wonât cause trouble for you. Iâll do whatever you ask me to do.â
Seeing this, Butler Zhao had no choice but to say with a bitter face, âWell, Second Miss, just help wash the vegetables. Other tasks are too tiring, and you donât need to do them.â
âOkay, Iâll learn bit by bit until the day you are willing to let me cook in the kitchen independently.â Mei Mu stayed in the kitchen until it got dark.
When Mei Yun returned from work, she saw Mei Mu tying an apron, smiling as she helped bring the dishes to the table. âDad, you came back just in time. Hurry up and wash your hands for dinner. The dishes are already done.â
Mei Yun couldnât help but be stunned.
His daughter, who had never touched a drop of water from the kitchen since she was a child, actually cooked today?
With doubts, Mei Yun went to wash his hands first and then sat at the dining table, frowning as he asked, âDid you make all of these?â
Mei Mu blushed and shook her head, âOnly the soup was made by me. I donât know how to make so many dishes yet. But 1 will learn seriously. As long as Dad is willing to eat, I am willing to try making anything..â
