So Wei Zhao simply decided not to sign up for any singing competition.
"How about you, me, and Sister Tang Zhi form a singing trio?" Feng Xiaoxiao continued tempting Wei Zhao. "Think about it—you'd have two beauties, one older and one younger, at your side. How great is that?"
"Oh, then go ask Yunyun," Wei Zhao said. He figured he had refused enough; it was about time to compromise a little...
This business of posing as someone else's boyfriend really was no easy job! He could not let Feng Xiaoxiao find out he was a fake, and he had to accept her step by step. Honestly, for Wei Zhao, this was harder than training and leveling up.
Fortunately, Wei Zhao did not dislike Feng Xiaoxiao entirely. At the very least, his time in Yanjing had given him some new understanding of this somewhat quirky girl.
When Feng Xiaoxiao had shown him affection, Wei Zhao had given no response. Mostly, that was because he did not know her true purpose. He feared she might hurt Tang Zhi, so he had paid her no mind.
But now Tang Zhi knew the truth, and Wei Zhao was, so to speak, courting with official sanction. Looking back at Feng Xiaoxiao, he found her quite endearing. She was at least straightforward and willing to own her actions. Though she could be a bit wild at times, thinking of her pitiful background, Wei Zhao could understand her.
"I'll text her right now!" Hearing Wei Zhao agree, Feng Xiaoxiao happily pulled out her phone and prepared to text Tang Zhi.
But before her message went out, Wei Zhao's phone buzzed with an incoming text first.
Wei Zhao opened it and saw it was from Shen Yushu.
"Arrowhead Bro, Yaoyao and I are going to V to practice singing tonight. You coming to protect us? Family members welcome!"
Family members welcome? Wei Zhao couldn't help but smile at Shen Yushu's message. It was rare for the young lady and Xiaoshu to change their attitude toward Tang Zhi—at least they were no longer as hostile as before. That was a good thing.
Xiaoshu had asked politely, and Wei Zhao saw no reason to refuse. He replied directly: "Sure."
"Who's texting you?" Feng Xiaoxiao assumed it was Tang Zhi and paused her own message.
"Shen Yushu," Wei Zhao said. "She wants me to go with them to V to practice singing tonight."
"Then I'm coming too!" Feng Xiaoxiao said at once.
Wei Zhao thought it over. Since the young lady had agreed he could bring people along, one more Feng Xiaoxiao made little difference. He nodded. "All right. Could you text Tang Zhi?"
"Okay, I'll text her right now!" Feng Xiaoxiao said happily, seeing that Wei Zhao had agreed.
The singing competition was organized for the entire senior year, so while Teacher Liu was making the announcement in Wei Zhao's class, Tang Zhi's class was being notified as well.
When Tang Zhi received Feng Xiaoxiao's text saying she would go to V with Wei Zhao that evening to practice singing, she agreed without a second thought. After all, Tang Zhi now wanted to create more chances for Feng Xiaoxiao to get close to Wei Zhao. Who knew what her own tomorrow would look like?
"Wei Zhao, Sister Tang Zhi agreed—she's coming with us," Feng Xiaoxiao said excitedly. She hadn't expected Tang Zhi to accept her so easily. Now it seemed that as long as she worked at it, she needn't worry that Wei Zhao would never like her.
"What exactly did you say to Yunyun? Your relationship with her wasn't good before, was it?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Girl stuff. You wouldn't understand," Feng Xiaoxiao said evasively.
"..." Hearing that, Wei Zhao asked no more. How could he not know this was the result of Tang Zhi extending an olive branch? He could only feign ignorance—if he showed no curiosity at all, that would be suspicious!
After evening self-study let out, Wei Zhao was about to call the young lady to ask where they were going, when he saw that she and Shen Yushu had already packed their bags and turned to look at him.
