Chapter 563: Between Life and Death

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Si turned his head to look at her seriously, “But 1 don’t want you to be on someone else’s mind, and 1 definitely won’t allow you to be taken away by someone else.”

“How could that be?” Mei Shu had just finished speaking when the glaring lights in the distance almost blinded her, and the deafening horn stole the oxygen from her brain in an instant, depriving her of her ability to react. All that was left was the will to survive.

Mei Shu exclaimed, “Be careful!”

Lu Si quickly regained his senses, swiftly turning the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding a collision with a truck.

That car just now was driving the wrong way on the highway. If they had collided, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Mei Shu was still trembling, her hands and feet ice-cold.

In the blink of an eye, they had narrowly escaped death.

Lu Si quickly parked the car in a safe place, holding Mei Shu’s hand, full of self-blame, “I’m sorry, Shu’er, are you okay?”

He tightly wrapped her hands in his palms, wanting to warm her with his body temperature, but his fingertips were always cold, and there wasn’t much of an effect.

Mei Shu finally came back to her senses, the fear in her eyes gradually receding like waves. She realized that she had been holding her breath instinctively the whole time.

“Are you feeling better?” Lu Si asked, still very concerned.

Mei Shu nodded, exhaling, “I’m okay now, it’s all right, let’s go back.”

Lu Si wanted to give himself a punch. If he hadn’t been in a bad mood just now, he wouldn’t have failed to notice the car driving the wrong way.

Seeing his lingering self-blame, Mei Shu forced a pale smile and said, “It’s really okay, let’s just go back.”

“Okay.” Lu Si let go of her hand and continued driving.

Mei Shu sat in the passenger seat, taking a deep breath. She quietly glanced at the screen next to Lu Si and saw the ending interface. Suddenly, something stirred in her heart.

Did her timely reaction just now count as rewriting her own ending? Had she already avoided the death ending?

Thinking this, she decided to unlock Lu Si’s ending to see.

[Master, viewing the other party’s ending will consume one year of the master’s lifespan. Does the master agree to continue?]

[Agree.]

Mei Shu affirmed.

The system quickly entered the loading interface.

Mei Shu held her breath until the screen once again displayed the warning that there was not enough lifespan to consume, her eyes widening suddenly.

How could this be?

What kind of events would she encounter in the future that would lead to her demise within a year?

Saying it was a year was actually too vague. She might die in six months, or even a month, or perhaps face the threat of death tomorrow.

It seemed she had to prepare early.

Lu Si noticed her shocked gaze from the corner of his eye and furrowed his brow, “Shu’er, are you really okay? Otherwise, I can find a bubble tea shop first, and we can take a break?”

“No.” Mei Shu really wanted to go back now.

If her life was about to end and she didn’t have a chance to start over again, she must cherish every day she spent with her brothers and also make plans for their future.

And there was Lu Si.

Mei Shu suddenly raised her head, “Can 1 go with you to see your grandfather tomorrow? 1’11 bring the tea with me.”

“Sure.” Lu Si couldn’t help but smile, allowing a hint of pleasure to curl up the corners of his mouth. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

Early the next morning, Mei Shu had just finished preparing the gift box and arranged the tea she personally made when Zhao Yan came to inform her that Lu Si was already waiting downstairs.

Mei Yan was yawning beside her, watching her sister busy, his face full of dissatisfaction, “Why is sister giving that old man a gift? He doesn’t want it anyway? Let him drink the northwest wind!”

Mei Shu rubbed his head helplessly, “Yanyan, I’ve told you, you have to be polite to your elders.”

Mei Yan said nonchalantly, “But you don’t have to be reasonable when it comes to biased elders. You just need to retort back. Sister said the same thing before.”

Mei Shu sighed deeply.

It seemed she inadvertently taught her brothers to be disobedient!

But with this personality that wouldn’t suffer losses, even if she wasn’t around, she should be able to rest assured.

“Okay, I’m going out.”

Feeling better, Mei Shu picked up the gift box and went out. As soon as she saw Lu Si, she naturally threw the things into his hands and let him carry them.

Lu Si also naturally accepted them, willingly taking on the task of carrying Mei Shu’s bag.

“I’ve prepared your favorite breakfast at home. Let’s have some together, and then we can go on a date. 1 handed all my work to Jiang Hai last night, so we can relax today.”

Mei Shu rarely slacked off and also handed her work over to Tang Mei, allowing herself to take a break. The refreshing feeling of relaxation even freshened up the surrounding air. She stretched lazily, “Okay, let’s do as you say.”

When they arrived at the Lu family’s house, Lu Ting was still sitting in his usual spot on the sofa, leisurely drinking tea. However, his eyes occasionally glanced towards the door.

Lu Si led Mei Shu over to greet him.

The old man’s expression was particularly indifferent. It wasn’t until Mei Shu spoke to him that he put down his teacup and, with the dignity befitting an elder, said, “You live so close but still let Si come to pick you up. Can’t you come over by yourself? Young people these days lack exercise.. Walking a few steps seems to be able to tire you people to death!”
