Chapter 1156 — Wei Zhao Loses His Composure
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao was speechless for a moment. It seemed that no one is a sage; having spent so long with Yaoyao and Xiaoshu, he could hardly avoid certain thoughts — it was only natural that he should have feelings for them!
"You and Yaoyao are both outstanding!" Wei Zhao's expression returned to normal, and he spoke mildly.
Seeing Wei Zhao revert to his former self, Shen Yushu felt a little glum; but then she thought again — his attitude earlier had been clear enough, so he must still like her! Mm, Xiaoshu, you have to keep at it!
Gu Mengyao, Tang Zhi, and Feng Xiaoxiao had come out later, so naturally they had not seen that earlier scene, and Shen Yushu's face, blooming with smiles, puzzled them.
Only Gu Mengyao was thoroughly displeased: "Xiaoshu, is my chest being small really worth that much joy to you? You're about to die laughing! I say you're the one who ought to be named Chen Xiaoxiao — Chen Laughsalot!"
"No, it's not that... I wasn't laughing at that..." Shen Yushu scratched her head, a little embarrassed.
"Then what are you laughing at?" Gu Mengyao looked at her, puzzled.
"Oh, nothing much. I'm laughing at that idiot An Liwen going off to catch a shark!" Shen Yushu said.
Though Gu Mengyao did not quite believe her, she said no more.
An Liwen and Su Taizao were at that moment swimming in the sea. Seeing Gu Mengyao and the others come out, they at once waved both hands: "Yaoyao, come on in, quick! The water's lovely and cool!"
By now the sun was fully out; standing on the beach you would feel the fierce heat, but the seawater had not yet fully absorbed the sun's warmth and was still a little chilly. This was the most comfortable time to go in, with a pleasant coolness to it.
"Jianwen-ge, why aren't you off catching sharks?" Shen Yushu asked straightaway once she was in the water.
"Ha, I was thinking we'd all play a while first, no? Otherwise, with blood in the water, how would we play at all?" An Liwen gave a ha-ha. "Once we've had our fun, we'll catch the shark!"
"Is that so? Well, that's fine too!" Shen Yushu thought it over — they hadn't had their fill of fun yet, and luring a shark over would indeed be a bit of a downer. Anyway, with her there to prod and needle him, she wasn't worried An Liwen would get out of catching one.
Though the odds of a shark or other dangerous sea creature appearing in the shallows were very small, Wei Zhao still kept a wary eye on the surface of the sea, ready to act at any moment.
"Wow, there's abalone on this reef!" Feng Xiaoxiao pointed excitedly at a rock on the sea floor and cried out.
"Really? There's abalone here?" Shen Yushu's eyes darted about, and she called to An Liwen: "Jianwen-ge, there's abalone here! Come catch some quick, and add to our lunch!"
"No problem!" The moment he heard it was abalone, An Liwen agreed without a second thought! So long as it wasn't shark-catching, anything was fine. Abalone — he had eaten it before; it was just a shellfish, completely harmless! So he took Su Taizao and came running over, eager for the sport.
