Chapter 811 — Mischievous Shen Yushu

Seeing Wei Zhao come out, Gu Mengyao nudged Shen Yushu with her finger.

"Oh, Arrow Bro, Sister Yaoyao made a love-filled breakfast bento for you, go eat it!" Shen Yushu caught the hint and said to Wei Zhao.

"Xiao Shu, what nonsense are you talking about? What love-filled breakfast?" Gu Mengyao was a little angry. She had plainly just called in a KFC breakfast herself, so how had it turned into a love-filled breakfast?

"I don't know, I don't know anything. You nudged me with your finger, so I assumed you were hinting for me to say that," Shen Yushu said with an air of innocence.

"*Cough cough!*" Gu Mengyao had no choice but to look up at Wei Zhao. "I saw you hadn't gotten up this morning, so Xiao Shu and I ordered KFC breakfast delivery. There's still some left, go ahead and eat."

In truth, Gu Mengyao had wanted to cook herself, but after recalling last time's fiasco, she had given up on the idea this time around. Otherwise, the popcorn porridge and mushy eggs she produced would be completely inedible.

"Thanks." Wei Zhao nodded at Gu Mengyao, knowing full well she was tough on the outside, soft on the inside. The leftover delivery food on the dining table was obviously still sealed, clearly ordered for him alone, not at all like she claimed, just "some leftovers."

Wei Zhao went to eat, leaving only Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in the living room.

"Sister Yaoyao, you ordered it for Arrow Bro yourself, so why won't you tell him?" Shen Yushu felt that what Gu Mengyao was doing was wrong; all effort, no reward.

"It was just a small thing, it all came in the same order anyway," Gu Mengyao said, not seeing anything wrong with it.

"Oh... Sister Yaoyao, this won't do. Once Arrow Bro leaves, we won't have anything fun to do anymore." Shen Yushu was a little disappointed; Gu Mengyao's attitude left her somewhat baffled.

Gu Mengyao shrugged without a word and went back to watching TV.

"TV shows are getting more and more boring these days. A lot of cartoons are getting more and more adult-oriented, I can barely understand them anymore." Shen Yushu flipped through several channels without finding anything she liked. "Are Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf not on today?"

"Beats me." Gu Mengyao found it just as dull. She wondered how she had ever gotten through weekends before Wei Zhao showed up.

"Sister Yaoyao, should we go shopping or stay home today? We haven't played at home in ages. How about we play some games?" Shen Yushu turned off the TV and suggested.

"Play games? What kind of games? Got any good ideas?" Gu Mengyao asked.

"Uh..." Shen Yushu couldn't think of anything fun for the moment. Just then she spotted Wei Zhao finishing breakfast and walking over.

Wei Zhao ate at breakneck speed, especially since breakfast wasn't exactly a huge spread.

"Arrow Bro, it's so boring. Got any fun suggestions?" Shen Yushu looked at Wei Zhao.

"What to play? Labor Day is just around the corner, so how about we play at being laborers?" Wei Zhao glanced at the villa's windows and said, "The windows are filthy. If we've got the time, let's give the whole villa a good cleaning."

"Oh, Sister Yaoyao, then let's play labor! That actually sounds like fun?" Shen Yushu felt that doing anything alongside Wei Zhao was bound to be a blast.

"Alright." Gu Mengyao nodded in agreement. Previously, Uncle Qing had always hired professional cleaners to do the housekeeping; she herself had never done it with her own hands. But Gu Mengyao had heard that a proper, virtuous woman should be capable of housework, so doing some real labor wouldn't be a bad idea after all.

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both headed upstairs to change into casual sportswear, while Wei Zhao went to the storage room behind the villa and came out with two water guns used for watering plants and washing cars. They weren't the high-pressure professional kind, but for cleaning up around the house they would be more than sufficient.

"Arrow Bro, what do you need us to do?" Shen Yushu was practically bouncing with anticipation; she had never scrubbed down a building herself before.

"I'll go pull weeds. You two, one water gun each, just blast the villa with a good scrubbing." Wei Zhao handed the two girls easy tasks and sent them off. Honestly, if he'd asked them to weed, he wouldn't have trusted them at all; more likely they'd rip up the good lawn right along with the weeds!

"Oh, neat!" Shen Yushu gave it a try and found it genuinely fun, just like the squirt guns she'd played with as a kid. "Sister Yaoyao, washing the house is so much fun!"

"Less talking, more working!" Gu Mengyao thought it was fun too, as if she'd been transported back to childhood—she and Shen Yushu each armed with a water gun, soaking each other until they were both drenched to the bone and had no choice but to go home and wash off in a hot bath.

Back then the two of them had bathed together in one tub, and somehow, midway through, they'd started fooling around again, flooding the whole bathroom—and neither of them cleaned it up, so that when Gu Pengzhan came home that evening, he slipped and took a spectacular tumble on his way to the toilet...

"I'm a little painter, my skill is grand, I'm going to paint that new house even prettier, first the ceiling then the walls..." Shen Yushu sang merrily, and in her excitement her water gun veered off course; the stream hit the villa wall and ricocheted straight back, splashing Gu Mengyao full in the face.

"Xiaoshu!" Soaked from head to face, Gu Mengyao flared up at once. "What are you doing? Why are you squirting me?"

"Oh, Sister Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Shen Yushu looked at Gu Mengyao's water-streaked face and found it a little funny, but she held back her laughter and apologized meekly all the same.

"Be more careful next time!" Gu Mengyao shot her a glare and went back to washing the house with her water gun.

Shen Yushu turned away as well and set to work in earnest, but after a moment she glanced at Gu Mengyao out of the corner of her eye and saw her concentrating hard on a pane of glass. A sly grin crept across her face; feigning carelessness, she tilted her hand, and the rebounding stream caught Gu Mengyao full in the face and hair again, as if a downpour had just broken over her...

"Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao was about to explode. "Have you got eyes or not? What do you think you're doing?"

"Uh... sorry, Sister Yaoyao, I didn't mean it..." Shen Yushu hurriedly set down her water gun and looked at Gu Mengyao with an innocent expression. "I really didn't mean it, Sister Yaoyao. How about you spray me back once..."

"Forget it. Just be more careful next time!" Seeing Shen Yushu like that, Gu Mengyao had no way to scold her further; she could only glare at her once more, wipe the water from her face, and go back to washing the house.

Fortunately the weather was hot, and the water on her head evaporated in no time—otherwise Gu Mengyao would have had no choice but to go back for a towel to dry herself off.
