Chapter 404 — Watch What You Say

"What can we do? Just ignore her. Since Wei Zhao wasn't out philandering, why should we bother with it?" Gu Mengyao said indifferently.
"Oh, right, right, right! We'll deal with it once Brother Arrow actually starts philandering!" Shen Yushu said, thoroughly convinced.
"Philandering has nothing to do with us anyway—he's not your boyfriend. What are you so anxious about?" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare.
"Oh, well, whether he's my boyfriend depends on what Yaoyao-jie thinks..." Shen Yushu said, sticking out her tongue.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Gu Mengyao snapped. "Open your mouth."
"?" Shen Yushu blinked in bewilderment, but obediently opened her mouth anyway. "Ah—"
Gu Mengyao reached her hand into Shen Yushu's mouth.
"Ow... that hurts... it really hurts! Sister Yaoyao, why are you pulling my tongue? It hurts so much, let go..." Shen Yushu cried out, her voice thick with tears.
"Hmph, I ought to pull your tongue right out, so you'll stop running your mouth all day long!" Of course Gu Mengyao had no intention of actually pulling out Shen Yushu's tongue; she only meant to scare her a little.
"I won't do it again... I'll stop talking nonsense, all right... it hurts so much, Sister Yaoyao, you really did it, it's killing me..." Shen Yushu covered her mouth, on the verge of tears...
Wei Zhao slipped his phone back into his pocket before turning to look at Feng Xiaoxiao. "What exactly are you trying to do? Do you have some kind of hyperactivity disorder?"
"Hey, is Gu Mengyao jealous?" Though Feng Xiaoxiao seemed violent on the surface, she was in fact a keen and subtle observer. After Wei Zhao sent his text, she had deliberately glanced over at Gu Mengyao and seen her lower her head, which told her Gu Mengyao was reading the message.
"No, she doesn't like me," Wei Zhao said flatly. "And you can forget about your little schemes and tricks. They won't work."
Watching Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes dart about, Wei Zhao guessed at once what she was thinking.
"Schemes and tricks, is it? Call them whatever you like. Teach me to drive, or I'll go around telling everyone about you and Gu Mengyao!" Feng Xiaoxiao paid no heed to Wei Zhao's threat; instead, she turned it right back on him.
"Do as you please. Whether others find out or not can only affect Gu Mengyao; it means nothing at all to me." Wei Zhao shrugged. "If you're willing to make an enemy who'll stand against you, that's fine by me. But don't imagine Gu Mengyao is easy to bully... She has someone at her side named Shen Yushu, who's more formidable than you. Don't end up dead without ever knowing how it happened."
"..." Feng Xiaoxiao shot Wei Zhao a venomous look. Her threat had failed, and she could only give up. As for Shen Yushu, though she had never met the girl in person, she had long since heard her name. Shen Yushu's brother was the foremost of the Four Young Masters of Songshan, far above the four infamous troublemakers of this First High School, herself included, by more grades than she could count. There was no deep grudge between them, and Feng Xiaoxiao had no desire to provoke someone like that of her own accord.
She had meant to frighten Wei Zhao into compliance, but he simply didn't care.
"Aren't you afraid Gu Mengyao will give you the sack?" Feng Xiaoxiao refused to give up.
