護花近衛 - 第238章 唐芷有約 - 翰墨軒

"It's a bit early to be thinking about all that." Wei Zhao naturally knew what was troubling Kang **. He patted him on the shoulder. "Right now the question isn't whether you and she are suited to each other — it's whether Xiaofen will even accept you!"

That was true! Wei Zhao's reminder made Kang ** suddenly realize that all of this was his own wishful thinking. He wanted to be with Xiaofen, but Xiaofen might not necessarily be able or willing to be with him!

"If you really have feelings for her, you can try getting close to her, spending some time together. In time, you'll naturally be able to confirm what your heart truly wants," Wei Zhao said. "But whatever decision you make, the one precondition is this: don't hurt Xiaofen again. You can take the hurt — she can't..."

"Don't worry, Boss! I understand. Until I'm absolutely certain of my own feelings, I won't say a word about this to Xiaofen!" Kang ** felt suddenly much clearer in his mind...

Tang Zhi hadn't slept well the whole night before. In the first half of the night her mother had dragged her into a chat... though "chat" was a stretch — every topic was Wei Zhao, leaving Tang Zhi dizzy and muddled, yet too afraid to say a single wrong word...

At long last her mother fell asleep, but Tang Zhi wasn't so sleepy anymore. Remembering that Wei Zhao's clothes were still at her place, she got up and washed them clean for him.

Returning some clothes — what was the big deal?

But then she thought of how, when she'd gone looking for Wei Zhao to ask for a formula, the whole school had been in an uproar. If she now delivered clothes to Wei Zhao, who knew what people would say? They might even decide that she and Wei Zhao were already sleeping together!

At that thought, Tang Zhi retreated a little. Right — she could ask Liu Xinlan for help. Tang Zhi suddenly thought of her best friend Liu Xinlan. She could have her arrange to meet Wei Zhao — after the next class, a meeting on the *** field, wouldn't that do nicely?

Tang Zhi set down the clothes in her hands and walked briskly out of the classroom, heading for Liu Xinlan's class...

She wanted to ask what the meeting with Wei Zhao was really about, but the ten minutes between classes were nowhere near enough. There was no help for it — Liu Xinlan could only hastily agree for now, planning to ask Tang Zhi for the details at noon or during evening self-study.

"Hey, could you get Wei Zhao from your class for me?" Liu Xinlan was rather brash and didn't care about appearances. She simply grabbed a student from Grade Twelve, Class Five and spoke to him directly.

"Oh, just a moment!" The student thought nothing of it and went straight into the classroom to call Wei Zhao out.

Wei Zhao wondered who could be looking for him. He stepped out of the classroom and found it was Liu Xinlan. "What's this about?"

"Wei Zhao, what exactly is the relationship between you and Yunyun?" Liu Xinlan couldn't very well interrogate Tang Zhi, so she had come to question Wei Zhao instead.

"Yunyun and me? You mean Tang Zhi. Ha..." Wei Zhao looked at Liu Xinlan's expression and found it rather amusing. "What relationship do we have? Isn't it right there for you to see?"

"So are you going out with her or not?" Liu Xinlan decided to just ask outright. She was not one for coyness — she said whatever was on her mind.

"Not exactly," Wei Zhao told her honestly. "What did you actually come here for? Just to ask me this? I don't think you're that much of a gossip. If you've got the energy for this, why not ask whether Kang ** is going out with Xiaofen?"

"Just asking casually!" Liu Xinlan pursed her lips. Wei Zhao's answer had actually set her mind at ease. In her view, Wei Zhao didn't seem like someone who liked to lie; he said it as it was and wouldn't deceive anyone over trifles like this.
