And so this strange trio set off together toward the school cafeteria. Wei Zhao held Tang Zhi's hand, while Feng Xiaoxiao walked on his other side. She wanted to take Wei Zhao's hand as well, but she was afraid he would simply shake her off, and that would be utterly humiliating!
Feng Xiaoxiao felt like such a third wheel. How was it that Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi got along so well?
It seemed that trying to come between Tang Zhi and Wei Zhao would not be so easy after all! Feng Xiaoxiao also knew that after Tang Zhi had seen through her last scheme, whatever she tried next, Tang Zhi might not react much at all. And to hope that Wei Zhao would fall for her and then cast Tang Zhi aside was an even more impossible task—at least, Feng Xiaoxiao felt that pulling it off within her lifetime was a long shot!
Should she change her tactics? Watching Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi, so inseparable, Feng Xiaoxiao's little head began to spin once more!
Hmm—maybe I shouldn't have Wei Zhao dump Tang Zhi after all. Instead, let him fall for me and Tang Zhi both at once. Then, when I die, Wei Zhao will probably grieve too, won't he? But then again, he'd still have Tang Zhi. If I die and he feels nothing, won't I have died for nothing?
Forget it. I'm going to die sooner or later anyway. If I can't get my revenge on Wei Zhao, I may as well use him to test out what love feels like—at least I won't have to worry about hurting him! Yes, that settles it, Feng Xiaoxiao told herself, consoling her own heart.
Once that thought crossed her mind, Feng Xiaoxiao actually felt relieved, and her hostility toward Tang Zhi diminished considerably.
The three of them arrived at the cafeteria. Wei Zhao went to buy the food. He knew what Tang Zhi usually ate, but had no idea what Feng Xiaoxiao liked, so he asked, "Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat?"
"I... whatever you two are having, I'll have the same. Are you treating me?" Feng Xiaoxiao perked up at once when she heard Wei Zhao was going to buy her a meal, happy for reasons she herself could not fathom. Sometimes the person one understands least is oneself!
Wei Zhao nodded. "You didn't even finish your beef noodles at noon, so consider this a second helping on me."
"Then whatever you two are eating, I'll just have a bit of the same!" Feng Xiaoxiao was not a picky eater, and said so outright.
"All right." Wei Zhao nodded and went off to buy the food. On his way out he glanced at Tang Zhi, and she gave him a reassuring look.
"Feng Xiaoxiao, what exactly are you playing at?" Once Wei Zhao had gone, Tang Zhi turned to Feng Xiaoxiao and asked coldly.
"I... I like Wei Zhao. What, is that not allowed? Does it bother you?" Feng Xiaoxiao hadn't expected Tang Zhi to come at her so suddenly, but she was no pushover either, and her answer came out sounding quite self-assured.
"Why would it bother me?" Tang Zhi curled her lip. "If some fool wants to be Wei Zhao's mistress, what's it to me? I'd be delighted—except I'm afraid Wei Zhao won't even look at you!"
"Huh?" Feng Xiaoxiao was stunned. She hadn't expected Tang Zhi's words to cut so sharply. She had assumed Tang Zhi would oppose her with all her might, never imagining she would say this! But Feng Xiaoxiao quickly recovered—Tang Zhi must be speaking out of anger!
