"Of course I called you — who else would I be calling? Get over here!" Kang Xiaofeng said viciously. "What were you going on about just now? Pointing and whispering about my boss, grinning like that — you think you're a sports commentator or something?"
"Um... brother, what did I do...?" The boy edged over cautiously.
"I'm asking you, what were you saying? Can't you understand plain words?" Kang Xiaofeng was getting annoyed. A moment ago this boy had been spitting all over the place with his big talk; how had he shriveled up so fast?
"I... I wasn't saying anything..." The boy shook his head frantically in fright.
"You looking to get beaten up?" Kang Xiaofeng glared. "Let me tell you, talking about people behind their backs is very impolite. If you come clean now, I'll let you off. Otherwise, I'll go ask those people behind you what you were just saying."
"Huh?" Kang Xiaofeng's words, it had to be said, carried real menace. The boy went pale the moment he heard them. He could tough it out and say nothing, but the classmates behind him who had just been listening to his performance would never cover for him. At that thought, his face went white, and he had no choice but to confess. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I only heard it from someone else..."
"Heard what from someone else?" Kang Xiaofeng was furious. This dawdling — a minute ago you were telling it so vividly, so why so slow now?
"Word is, Brother Wei Zhao and the The Blossom Guardian Tang Zhi are going out..." a boy said in a low voice. "Today Brother Wei Zhao confessed to Tang Zhi, gave her a love letter, and Tang Zhi accepted it all blushing and shy..." Wei Zhao stared, dumbfounded... What the hell! Who started spreading this? When did I ever hand Tang Zhi a love letter? Wei Zhao's first reaction was: do these people have nothing better to do?
All he had given Tang Zhi was a barbecue recipe, and it had turned into a love letter. He had to admire these people's imaginations!
Wei Zhao did not much care for himself, but Tang Zhi... Damn it, who was nasty enough to do this? Now Tang Zhi would surely steer clear of him next time, and his plan to get a little flirtation going with a girl was completely ruined.
And once the young lady found out, who knew how she would react. Hell, why was today so unlucky?
"Brother Wei Zhao, and you, brother... look, it's all just hearsay on my part--" The boy saw Wei Zhao's face shift unpredictably from dark to bright, and nearly jumped out of his skin; he hurriedly begged forgiveness...
"Enough, get out of here..." Wei Zhao was caught between laughter and tears. He would not truly hold a grudge against this boy; those words certainly had not started with him. He was merely curious enough to pass them along. This was one matter that really could not be traced to its source!
"Thank you, Brother Wei Zhao, thank you--" The boy bowed and scraped, then bolted.
"Boss, seems to me this is a good thing?" Once the boy had gone, Kang Xiaofeng winked at Wei Zhao. "Now everyone knows Tang Zhi is your girlfriend, so you've got a real chance, haven't you?"
"Chance my foot. You don't understand Tang Zhi!" Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. "This time, it's probably hopeless."
