Chapter 129 — Get in My Way and I'll Kick You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Shen Yushu found Zhong Yongliang utterly annoying and could not shoo him away. Now that Wei Zhao had walked in, she naturally meant to borrow his hand to drive Zhong Yongliang off.
Wei Zhao gave a faint smile, nodded, and strode quickly toward Zhong Yongliang. Zhong Yongliang seemed to sense that Wei Zhao came with ill intent, but sitting there, he could not think of any reason Wei Zhao would have to move against him; besides, Zhong Yongliang told himself he had not offended Wei Zhao in the past few days.
What did Wei Zhao care what Zhong Yongliang thought? He walked over and kicked the leg of the chair Zhong Yongliang sat on, flipping it over outright and sending Zhong Yongliang sprawling onto his back.
"Don't sit here blocking the way!" Wei Zhao did not even glance at Zhong Yongliang; he simply stepped over him.
Silence!
A deathly silence!
Although the classroom had always been quiet during the midday break, with only the occasional whisper here and there, at this moment every head shot up, and everyone stared in astonishment at the scene unfolding before them.
Before Wei Zhao transferred in, Zhong Yongliang had been the bully of the class, but Wei Zhao's arrival had changed all that. The incident during the school's group exercises had already filled everyone with awe and respect for Wei Zhao, and today's affair made these people feel all the more keenly just how arrogant and domineering he could be.
Over a reason that was no reason at all, merely blocking his way, he had sent Zhong Yongliang sprawling flat on his back with a single kick. Who in the class, indeed who in the whole school, would dare to do such a thing?
Even Bu Ruoming, one of the other four notorious troublemakers, would not dare to be so brazen.
"Wei Zhao..." A flicker of venomous resentment crossed Zhong Yongliang's eyes. He was unwilling to accept it; he wanted to leap up and fight Wei Zhao for all he was worth. But he did not dare. Zhong Yongliang clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with humiliation and helplessness.
Wei Zhao, you just wait. Bu Ruoming will deal with you. Enjoy your few days of swagger while you can. Zhong Yongliang silently picked himself up off the floor, set his chair back in its place, and sat down again.
Gu Mengyao stared in astonishment at Wei Zhao's retreating figure. This guy really was a born thug; that kick had been fierce, but it had style. A man like that, she thought, did give a girl a fair sense of security.
"Yao Yao, haven't you noticed? Wrigley's Gum really is handsome." Shen Yushu gave a thumbs-up, a little starry-eyed with admiration.
"Xiao Shu, are you smitten with him?" Seeing the infatuated look on Shen Yushu's face, Gu Mengyao felt a faint discomfort in her heart.
"Hehe, maybe just a little. But don't worry, Yao Yao, I won't compete with you for him." Shen Yushu said with a giggle, "Your choice is my choice, after all..." "You!" This time Gu Mengyao really did not know whether to laugh or cry, and rapped Shen Yushu on the head with her knuckles. She could not figure out what Shen Yushu was thinking, why she was still so caught up in the old business. Was it because of Wei Zhao, or because of herself?
Gu Mengyao could not say. The feeling was very strange.
"Was it you who just gave Wei Zhao that signal, telling him to do that?" Gu Mengyao asked in a low voice.
"Ah? You saw that?" Shen Yushu was taken aback. "I did it for your sake... otherwise he'd just be sitting there smirking, and it was so annoying."
"You're hopeless, I give up. But Xiao Shu, you really ought to mind the consequences. If Wei Zhao keeps carrying on like this, he'll probably get expelled in a few days. Do you think he has deep connections like everyone else?" Gu Mengyao smiled bitterly.
"Wasn't he sent here by Uncle Qing? That ought to count as having connections, wouldn't it?" Shen Yushu had seen through to the essence of the matter. "Besides, it was Uncle Chu who arranged it, so I doubt there'll be any problem."
