Chapter 387 — So You're Still Watching
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
He had barely turned his head when he saw Gu Mengyao running toward him wrapped in a bath towel, its hem fluttering in the wind, a pair of long legs smooth as jade now hidden, now revealed. Though he could not see very clearly, Wei Zhao could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva...
Gu Mengyao had a tall, well-proportioned figure. Though not as full-figured as Shen Yushu, her shape was still one in a hundred. Wei Zhao would not go out of his way to peep at the young lady, but when it was delivered right before his eyes, a look did no harm.
Gu Mengyao suddenly realized where Wei Zhao's gaze was directed, and her face flushed at once. She snatched the sachet from his hand and cursed resentfully: "Shameless!"
Then she turned and went quickly back into the villa. This time, though, she dared not run — fast as she walked, she still moved in small, shuffling steps.
Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. That was that — he had left a bad impression on the young lady. But heaven and earth bear witness, it was she who had run so fast and let him see; it was not as though he had gone looking on purpose!
He slunk back into the living room in low spirits, only to find that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had already gone upstairs. Wei Zhao was somewhat speechless. He had meant well and done badly? He helped them dig for treasure, and they called him shameless... Ai, peeping was no easy job either!
After a while, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu came down from upstairs. By then the two of them had changed into proper, fully covering pajamas, so Wei Zhao could see no spring scenery at all.
Still, Wei Zhao felt somewhat wronged. Sometimes Gu Mengyao even wore shorts — didn't that expose more? Just now he had only found that hazy sense a little exciting; in truth he had seen nothing at all!
Seeing that Gu Mengyao wore a face that said she was about to deliver a critique, Wei Zhao hurriedly sat up straight, put on an air of having nothing to do with any of it, and made ready to watch television.
"Ahem, ahem!" Seeing that this creature showed not the slightest awareness of having done wrong, Gu Mengyao grew even more furious. She coughed twice and glared at Wei Zhao.
"Oh, it's the young lady. Is something the matter?" Only then did Wei Zhao pretend to have just noticed Gu Mengyao coming downstairs. He raised his head and looked at her cautiously.
What could he do? It was his own quick eyes that had stolen a look at someone.
"Brother Jianpai, Sister Yaoyao is going to criticize you — you'd better be careful!" Shen Yushu winked at Wei Zhao.
Yet this solemn atmosphere, stirred up by Shen Yushu, vanished without a trace. Gu Mengyao was about to explode with anger. Shen Yushu had come purely to make trouble; the girl was most likely sweet on Wei Zhao in her heart and was helping him out of a tight spot! But this creature Wei Zhao really was shameless, and not warning him was simply not an option.
So Gu Mengyao pretended not to have heard Shen Yushu's words and glared sternly at Wei Zhao. "Wei Zhao, do you know how a follower ought to behave?"
"Uh... I know. Don't look at what you shouldn't look at..." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Then why did you still look?" Gu Mengyao gave a humph, thinking to herself, you knew, and yet you still went and looked? Doing it on purpose, weren't you?
