Chapter 594 — Wei Zhao's Headache

Wei Zhao stretched languidly, taking stock of his body. Just moments ago he had been on the brink of death, yet now he had recovered to peak condition — brimming with energy, not a trace of abnormality in him. Only the bloodstains on his clothes were a ghastly sight.

Wei Zhao scrambled swiftly off the bed and flung open the door, only to freeze in his tracks.

For there, sitting in the living room, were both the Young Lady and Tang Zhi. How had they both gotten here?

"Wei Zhao, are you all right? How did it get this bad?" Gu Mengyao rose first and hurried to Wei Zhao's side, gazing up at him tenderly, her lovely eyes brimming with affection.

Wei Zhao couldn't suppress a shiver at the sound of Gu Mengyao's voice. Was this really the Young Lady? Why this tone? Had he not truly woken up after all — was he still dreaming?

For reasons she herself couldn't fathom, Gu Mengyao had slipped effortlessly into character in Tang Zhi's presence, behaving like a devoted wife anxious over her husband. Especially at the sight of the pool of blood on the front of Wei Zhao's clothes, her irritation toward Tang Zhi flared — Wei Zhao was only hurt because he went to avenge you!

"Wei Zhao, I'm sorry — if it weren't for me, you never would have been injured!" Tang Zhi, naturally unwilling to concede, rushed over and hooked her arm around his.

Gu Mengyao was not about to let her lay claim to him. She promptly seized his other arm, and Shen Yushu threw herself into his embrace: "Brother Arrow, we were so worried about you! Are you feeling all right? If you're fine, let's hurry home for a threesome!"

"What?!" Wei Zhao nearly jumped out of his skin at Shen Yushu's words. A threesome? Was Xiaoshu running a fever — or had she gone insane?

"Wei Zhao, she says she's your fiancée? That Gu Mengyao is the main wife and Shen Yushu the second wife?" Tang Zhi's mind was in a knot. Though she was worried about Wei Zhao's injuries, the questions gnawing at her demanded answers.

"Huh? Main wife, second wife?" Wei Zhao's eyes went even wider. What on earth were they talking about?

"It's true, Wei Zhao — tell her. Aren't you my personal bodyguard, the one who handles all those pesky flies that pester me?" Gu Mengyao spoke with a certain unease. Now that Wei Zhao was awake, her lie was about to be exposed, but she refused to capitulate before Tang Zhi — so she pressed on.

"Well..." Wei Zhao stared at Gu Mengyao, at a complete loss. What had gotten into her today? Why was she being so aggressive?

"They say you two are always kissing, and having threesomes?" Though Tang Zhi found the word "threesome" rather unladylike, she had no room for delicacy — she wanted the truth.

"Since when have I kissed anyone? A threesome? That's even more absurd!" Wei Zhao broke into a cold sweat, thinking to himself: I wouldn't mind a threesome — but who would be the second one?

"Brother Arrow, you dare say you've never kissed me or Sister Yayaoyao? You even kissed Sister Yayaoyao so much she got pregnant — she was throwing up and everything!" Shen Yushu declared. "And on the beach — didn't you kiss me too?"

"Is that true?" Tang Zhi gazed up at Wei Zhao with a wounded look.

Wei Zhao's head throbbed. He had no idea how Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had ended up at odds with Tang Zhi, but one thing was clear — the two of them had fed Tang Zhi a pile of outrageous fabrications.

"Good grief — that was an indirect kiss, okay? You drank from a cup I'd already sipped from, and that counts as kissing? If that could get someone pregnant, the whole street would be full of expectant mothers!" Wei Zhao was nearly speechless. "And Xiaoshu, I was giving you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation — how is that a kiss?"

Hearing Wei Zhao's explanation, a surge of joy washed over Tang Zhi. True, the explanation itself confirmed that Wei Zhao did indeed have some kind of relationship with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu — but at least he cared enough to explain himself to her. Whether true or false, Tang Zhi was happy.

Gu Mengyao reddened slightly as Wei Zhao exposed the truth, but Shen Yushu was utterly unfazed: "Brother Arrow, why couldn't you just play along with us a little?"

"Play along with what?" Wei Zhao offered a rueful smile. "How come you and Yayaoyao are here too?"

"Sister Yayaoyao heard you got hurt, so she brought me to see you! Sister Yayaoyao cares about you a lot — when are we going home for that threesome?" Shen Yushu said without so much as a blush.

"What threesome? How can you be so shameless? Wei Zhao just said he has nothing to do with you — can you please stop clinging to him?" Tang Zhi's patience was fraying. How could Shen Yushu be like this? Wasn't this just seduction?

Even if Wei Zhao wasn't interested, how long could this kind of flirting go on before something happened? Tang Zhi knew very well just how stunning Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were.

"Oh, so you're jealous? Just because you can't handle three yourself, you don't want the rest of us to?" Shen Yushu said with a giggle, looking at Tang Zhi.

"I... who says I can't handle it? I... I'm worth two of anyone!" Tang Zhi was flustered and spoke without thinking.

Wei Zhao's head was spinning. What day was this? What on earth had gotten into everyone? Tang Zhi, usually so meek and agreeable, had suddenly turned so fiery, and even the normally aloof young lady had joined the fray?

As for Shen Yushu, Wei Zhao saw nothing odd in her behavior — she was always like this, and he had long since grown used to it.

"Ah — my head is killing me —" Wei Zhao slapped his forehead and toppled stiffly to the ground. The headache was real enough, just not that severe; the fainting was pure performance.

But Wei Zhao's collapse gave Tang Zhi, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu a terrible fright. Only then did they remember that Wei Zhao had just woken from his injuries, and they had no idea whether he had recovered. And here they were, quarreling right in front of him — weren't they just upsetting him?

Tang Zhi and Gu Mengyao were just about to check on Wei Zhao when Shen Yushu spoke up: "Oh, Brother Arrow, why are your eyes moving? You're faking it!"

Wei Zhao had only meant to joke around with them, and he had faked it too hastily, so naturally it wasn't convincing. Found out by Shen Yushu, he simply gave up the act: "Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, you two stop stirring up trouble!"

"What? Am I getting on your nerves?" Gu Mengyao's face turned cold, clearly displeased. "Wei Zhao, you come home with us right now!"

Gu Mengyao really did feel humiliated. Telling them not to stir up trouble — didn't that mean not to stir up trouble between him and Tang Zhi? With the young lady's proud nature, how could she bear that?

"Oh, oh, oh, we're going home to play three!" Shen Yushu clapped her hands happily.

"Yaoyao, you all go on ahead — let me have a word with Tang Zhi?" Wei Zhao said at once with a bitter smile.

"Wei Zhao, who are they to you? Why do you have to do what they say?" Tang Zhi had thrown caution to the wind today too. "You steal other people's boyfriends — aren't you ashamed?"
