Chapter 102 — Little Shu Waving Her Undergarment

Hearing his father's words, Liu Tianyi had no choice but to drop it. And the crowd that had gathered to watch the show, seeing there was no more show to be seen, dispersed as well, chattering gleefully about Wei Zhao's miraculous cure...

Wei Zhao, too, left the place quickly along with the crowd.

"Hold on..." Wei Zhao had not gone more than a few steps when Wang Xinyan's voice sounded behind him.

"Ha... what is it?" Wei Zhao glanced at Wang Xinyan, then pointed at her car parked not far behind her. "Parking's forbidden here, you know. Aren't you afraid of getting a ticket?"

"Ah?" Wang Xinyan was taken aback—she had not expected him to bring that up—then burst out laughing. "Thank you for today... I really never would have guessed you knew medicine!"

"Just ordinary traditional Chinese massage. Buy a book at Xinhua Bookstore and you could do it too." Naturally, Wei Zhao was not about to reveal his own secrets, so he spoke offhandedly.

"Uh..." Wang Xinyan had not expected it to be that simple, but recalling the way Wei Zhao had worked just now, it truly did resemble Chinese massage, and she could not help nodding. "Well, no matter what, thank you for today! Otherwise it really would have been hard to get away..."

"That woman was being unreasonable to begin with." Wei Zhao smiled. "I never thought I would run into you here. I still haven't thanked you for last time, so I suppose this time we're even!"

"Even, is it..." Wang Xinyan frowned slightly. She had finally mustered the courage to invite Wei Zhao to have something to eat as a show of thanks, but now that Wei Zhao had put it this way, she, a girl, could hardly bring the matter up again.

"Be careful when you drive next time, and try to stay away from crowded places." Wei Zhao nodded to Wang Xinyan. "I came today with friends, so I'll be going on ahead."

"Ah... sure..." Wang Xinyan nodded, a little disappointed. Today her family was not with her, so she had no one to answer to, yet Wei Zhao happened to have other business—which left her somewhat forlorn.

Wang Xinyan was deeply curious about Wei Zhao. The incident on the train had puzzled her endlessly; she had gone home and thought about it for days without ever figuring out just when Wei Zhao had gotten the money back. He had been sitting beside her the whole time—had he made any move, she ought to have noticed—yet she had noticed nothing at all...

And today's affair had made Wei Zhao seem all the more remarkable to her. A young man who actually knew Chinese massage... and seemed rather skilled at it, too—otherwise the old man could never have recovered...

"What a strange person..." Watching Wei Zhao's receding figure, Wang Xinyan gave a faint sigh, then turned and walked toward her car.

Had Wei Zhao not come out to accompany Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, he really would have liked to spend a little more time with Wang Xinyan. But the situation was different now—if that little Miss Chu saw him strolling about with another pretty girl, would she not explode with fury?

He was here to carry her bags, after all. Wei Zhao still had a bit of self-awareness.

"Where are you?" Wei Zhao took out his phone and sent Shen Yushu a text message.

Before long, the reply came back: "Pengzhan Department Store, third floor, lingerie section."

"Uh..." Wei Zhao looked at the message in his hand and broke into a sweat. The lingerie section? Still—Pengzhan Department Store... could this not be Gu Pengzhan's own enterprise? Was the young lady paying a covert visit to her own domain?

Wei Zhao shook his head, glanced around, easily spotted the large sign reading "Pengzhan Department Store," and strode briskly toward it.

The department store was quite sizable. Judging by the directory board at the entrance, a good many brands had set up shop inside—international ones and domestic ones alike—but all of them were high-end brands; even mid-range ones were rarely to be seen.

Wei Zhao took the elevator to the third floor. Fortunately, the third floor was not devoted entirely to lingerie; there were bedding and similar goods as well. Wei Zhao sent Shen Yushu a text telling her he had arrived.

He waited a while and, seeing no reply from Shen Yushu, thought nothing of it, assuming she was trying something on—when suddenly he heard someone shout, "Hey, Arrow-Brand Bro—over here!"

Wei Zhao instinctively looked up and saw Shen Yushu not far off, waving at him... But in her hand... what was that? It looked like a black bra...

Wei Zhao broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. Only someone as brash as Shen Yushu, that quirky, wild-at-heart girl, could do something so utterly outrageous, could she not?

Under the startled gazes of everyone else, Wei Zhao walked toward Shen Yushu with not a shred of shame. His hide had grown thick enough that such things no longer bothered him; back in the day, to carry out a mission, he had even dressed up as a cross-dressing boy, so there was nothing left for Wei Zhao to fear.

Seeing Wei Zhao stride over just like that, Shen Yushu actually felt a little embarrassed. Noticing the strange looks from the others, she hurriedly stuffed the underwear she had just bought back out of sight.

Even Gu Mengyao hastily slipped off to one side, wearing an expression that said she had never met this person in her life.

Shen Yushu was mortified. She had not thought that far ahead before; she had only meant to tease Wei Zhao a little, never expecting it to cause such a stir.

"Xiao Shu, you're utterly shameless..." Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu with a dark face. "How could you do that..."

"Yao Yao, I didn't know everyone would look over either..." Shen Yushu wore an aggrieved look as well.

Fortunately, the people who came here to shop were not the sort of idlers who crowded around for a spectacle; after a couple of astonished glances, they each went back to their own business.

When Wei Zhao came over, Shen Yushu's face was still flushed red. Wei Zhao found it rather amusing. "Are you two done shopping? Is there anything you need me to carry?"

"We've barely started, it's still early!" Gu Mengyao, recalling how Wei Zhao had inexplicably run off to help a beauty deal with a car accident, felt her temper flare. "These underthings, you carry them for me!"

"Huh?" Wei Zhao froze on the spot. Asking him to carry underwear? Thick-skinned as Wei Zhao was, following two beauties around carrying their underwear would look a bit unseemly no matter how you sliced it.

Still, seeing that Gu Mengyao had already handed over the shopping bag in her hand, Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief; aside from a lingerie brand printed on it, there was nothing unusual about the bag to be seen.

"And yours?" Having taken Gu Mengyao's bag, Wei Zhao turned his head and asked Shen Yushu.

"Here..." Shen Yushu had already tucked the lingerie set from before into a shopping bag and handed it to Wei Zhao.

And so the great standard-bearer of the Lin family trailed behind the two girls at a distance as they browsed the mall. By the time the two were laden with their haul, Wei Zhao had more than a dozen bags in his hands, and only then did Gu Mengyao suddenly remember. "Wei Zhao, you haven't bought any clothes yet?"

"Me? Isn't this fine as it is?" Wei Zhao did not much care. "Buy or don't buy, either way works."

"You have to buy! You absolutely must! Dressed in that student uniform, people will be sure to think Xiao Shu and I are students too!" Gu Mengyao said firmly.

"Aren't you two students to begin with?" Wei Zhao nodded with a bitter smile.
