Chapter 2384 — What a Coincidence

"Brother Arrowhead really needs you right now. He can't hold on much longer—there's no time!" Shen Yushu had no idea why Wei Zhao was in such a desperate hurry to find Wang Xinyan, but to make her move faster she began spinning wild explanations of her own.

"Can't hold on?" Wang Xinyan was startled. "What do you mean, he can't hold on? What happened to him?"

"Oh, there's no time to explain it all in a few words—just come with us, quick!" Shen Yushu said, pushing at Wang Xinyan's back.

"At least let me put some clothes on!" Wang Xinyan said with a helpless smile.

"No time! Sister Yaoyao, give me a hand, quick!" Shen Yushu waved Gu Mengyao over.

Gu Mengyao had no wish to join Shen Yushu's nonsense, but getting Wang Xinyan dressed right now would waste a great deal of time. So she simply snatched up a cotton-padded coat from the rack that looked like it belonged to Wang Xinyan, draped it over her shoulders, and joined Shen Yushu in pushing her toward the door.

Wang Xinyan was completely at a loss. If she had not known that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu could not possibly be kidnappers, she would have thought she was being abducted again.

But seeing how frantic they were, Wei Zhao must truly have run into some kind of trouble. Wang Xinyan did not insist, and so—the coat flung over her shoulders and a bedsheet wrapped around her—she was pushed out of the dormitory by the two of them and down the stairs.

It was not as though she would be indecently exposed, for the bedsheet wrapped her from head to foot, tight and snug, but it still drew a great many strange looks from her fellow students. Yet there was no explaining it now. She left the women's dormitory with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu and climbed straight into the Grand Cherokee.

Wu Chengtian stared a moment at Wang Xinyan dressed as she was, but said nothing. He started the car and drove straight back to the villa in the Xueshang residential compound.

"Now will the two of you please tell me what on earth happened to Wei Zhao?" Wang Xinyan was thoroughly exasperated. What kind of spectacle was this—naked beneath a bedsheet? She felt like a mistress caught in the act and fleeing the scene.

"We don't know either..." Gu Mengyao shrugged apologetically.

"What?" Wang Xinyan was dumbstruck. If you don't know, she thought, then why drag me out here in such a hurry?

"Before this, Wei Zhao ran into an enemy and was badly hurt. After he got home he shut himself in his room to heal. But then he suddenly called Wu Chengtian in and said he needed you badly, that we were to fetch you at once," Gu Mengyao explained. "That is all we know. We have no idea what he wants with you, but he certainly sounded desperate."

"I see..." Wang Xinyan was slightly taken aback, and it seemed she had guessed something. Could it be that Wei Zhao's healing had failed and he needed the scent of her body to help him? At that thought her pretty face flushed crimson...

"Sister Xinyan, you had better be careful. Brother Arrowhead might be in heat," Shen Yushu said.

"Ah!" Wang Xinyan thought of what she was wearing, and her face burned even redder. Letting Wei Zhao inhale the fragrance of her body while he cultivated and healed was shameful enough; now she was wearing nothing at all...

Seeing her blush, Shen Yushu assumed Wang Xinyan had taken her words to heart, and a sly grin crept across her face. "Sister Xinyan, now that you are Brother Arrowhead's woman, you must get along with Sister Yaoyao. You can't bully her!"

"?" Wang Xinyan was only more baffled by Xiaoshu's muddled, nonsensical talk.

"Xiaoshu, stop talking nonsense. What does any of this have to do with me?" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu.

"I just don't want Sister Yaoyao to be bullied from now on... all alone against the world..." Shen Yushu muttered, and said no more.

Soon the car pulled up before the villa, and Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu hauled Wang Xinyan inside. Willing or not, they shoved her straight into Wei Zhao's bedroom. Xiaoshu, ever the mischief-maker, yanked the coat off Wang Xinyan's back, pushed her down onto Wei Zhao's bed, and then hurriedly shut the door behind herself and Gu Mengyao.

"Hehehe..." Shen Yushu gave a wicked little laugh. "Sister Yaoyao, your goal is accomplished."

"What do you mean, my goal?" Though Gu Mengyao had been working all along to bring Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan together, now that the moment had come she felt a little uncomfortable, as though something dear to her were being taken away. It was very complicated.

"Nothing..." Shen Yushu, strangely enough, did not keep up the teasing. "Sister Xinyan is a good person. She has no bad intentions. She will surely get along well with Sister Yaoyao in the future. Xiaoshu is very relieved..."

"What?" Gu Mengyao was slightly startled, not quite understanding what Shen Yushu meant.

"Nothing..." Shen Yushu shook her head, then her grin returned. "Detective Shu, 007, will now go investigate whether Brother Arrowhead has pushed Sister Xinyan down!"

With that, Shen Yushu pressed her ear to Wei Zhao's door.

Inside, Wei Zhao had been holding the energy bomb compressed all this while, waiting for Wang Xinyan to arrive so he could make one concerted charge at the barrier. Now that she was here, he naturally began his preparations for the breakthrough...

"Lin... Wei Zhao... you... I..." Wang Xinyan was badly frightened at the sight of the blood on Wei Zhao's body, and had no idea what she was supposed to do.

"Come closer to me..." Wei Zhao, seeing the state she was in, did not know whether to laugh or cry. Wang Xinyan was wrapped in a bedsheet, her hair still damp—plainly she had been in the middle of a bath, and Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had dragged her here by force. He truly did not know what to say. What a coincidence this was!

"Mm..." Wang Xinyan answered softly. Embarrassed as she was, one look at Wei Zhao's sorry state left her no room to hesitate. Trembling, she leaned her body toward him, her heart pounding, her face burning red.

It was not the first time she and Wei Zhao had been intimate, after all. Back during military training the two of them had slept together, and every day in class Wang Xinyan had worn as little as she could to sit close to him. But today was different. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were out in the living room—how could Wang Xinyan bear the shame?

They probably thought Wei Zhao had called her here to sleep with her, didn't they? At that thought Wang Xinyan's face flushed so red it seemed ready to drip blood...

The fragrance of Wang Xinyan's body poured into Wei Zhao like a shot of stimulant. Together with the true-qi bomb, the true qi within him instantly swelled to its absolute limit. Wei Zhao circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Riding Art at speed, and he could clearly feel that he was about to break through!

Yes—he was a hair's breadth from breaking through! RQ
