Chapter 314 — Zhong Yongliang's Frustration
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh? Student Wei Zhao, what can I do for you?" A smile squeezed itself onto Wang Zhifeng's face the moment he turned around. He was already scarred by psychological baggage. Every time he was sleeping with that female teacher, he could not help but think that Wei Zhao knew all about it. So the moment Wei Zhao called his name, Wang Zhifeng was involuntarily reminded of the affair again.
It was a vicious circle, an endless loop of cause and effect. And yet Wang Zhifeng also felt a twinge of fear. This kid was always doing things that put him in an awkward position—surely he was not about to cause more trouble now?
"It's like this. I might have some things to take care of over the next couple of days. I need to request leave for a few days—any problem with that?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Ah, well, of course that's no problem. Go ahead and take care of your business. I'll let your homeroom teacher know." Wang Zhifeng relaxed instantly. This kind of small matter was nothing at all—and besides, Wei Zhao had skipped class more times than anyone could count.
Wang Zhifeng walked off, and Kang Xiaofeng turned curious. "Boss, you need to take leave? What for? Please tell me it's not going to clash with my second grandpa's birthday banquet this weekend."
Tang Zhi also widened her eyes, staring fixedly at Wei Zhao. She wanted to ask as well, but Kang Xiaofeng beat her to it.
Only Liu Xinlan was uninterested; whether Wei Zhao went to school or not made little difference to her.
"Ha, I've been invited to treat a patient." Naturally, Wei Zhao could not mention the matter of going abroad, so he spoke in half-truths.
"Treat a patient? You can treat patients? Oh, right... you know acupuncture..." Liu Xinlan was rather surprised, but then she suddenly recalled the business with Xiaofen that day and nodded.
"I'm only going to help out," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"That's still quite something..." Kang Xiaofeng gave a thumbs-up in admiration. "Boss, you'd better improve your medical skills quickly—if only you could cure Xiaofen..."
"Ha, I'll do my best..." Wei Zhao nodded.
Both Kang Xiaofeng and Tang Zhi knew that Wei Zhao had some skill in medicine, so they were not particularly surprised that he was going to see a patient. The last time Wei Zhao had spoken with Tang Zhi, he had said he had a way to cure Xiaofen's illness, only not at present; so naturally Tang Zhi and Kang Xiaofeng took this to mean that his current medical skills were not yet sufficient.
Tang Zhi had wanted to ask Wei Zhao whether he might take a look at her father's illness, but then she thought of how Wei Zhao was helpless even in the face of Xiaofen's case, and so she did not bring it up...
When they entered the classroom, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were already seated. As Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaofeng walked in, both of them glanced up once, then lowered their heads and went on with their own affairs.
Zhong Yongliang was thoroughly depressed. Yesterday he had already made his grand declaration and prepared to write Gu Mengyao a blood letter to declare his love, but the affair had ended in the farce of his bleeding without stopping!
Although no one brought the matter up today, Zhong Yongliang felt that everyone's eyes on him were strange, seeming to carry a hint of mockery and derision. He did not know whether it was just his own imagination, but in any case he felt somewhat ill at ease.
When Gao Xiaofu arrived, Zhong Yongliang hurriedly pulled him over and asked, "Xiaofu, tell me—do you think I should go on and write Gu Mengyao another blood letter to declare my love?"
