Chapter 1573 — Destined to Meet
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The relationship between Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan was somewhat peculiar - a bit like that feeling of a gentleman's friendship, as clear as water, yet warmer than ordinary friendship, though without too much romantic feeling mixed in. There was no passionate spark between them, but there was a wordless understanding.
"The Xiao family and the Kang family fell out, so my engagement naturally lost its meaning..." Wang Xinyan gave a self-deprecating shrug. "I was merely a tool for their political marriage - picked up when needed, and naturally forgotten when not."
"But isn't that a good thing? At least you don't have to marry someone you don't like." Hearing the bitterness in Wang Xinyan's words, Wei Zhao could not help but offer some comfort.
"Yes, it is a good thing!" Wang Xinyan smiled. "This way, I can come back and study in peace..."
The two walked out of the teaching building together. Wei Zhao said to Wang Xinyan, "I need to wait for someone here. Go on ahead, or wait a while and we can leave together?"
"Your girlfriend?" Wang Xinyan asked unconsciously. She had seen Feng Xiaoxiao when she was in Yanjing, so she naturally assumed it was Feng Xiaoxiao.
"Mm..." Wei Zhao replied noncommittally.
"I'll go on ahead then, won't bother you." Wang Xinyan smiled, gave Wei Zhao a wave, and hurried off toward the school gate.
At this point, Purple-Hair and Blue-Hair had already joined Young Master You and Yellow-Hair, waiting outside the examination gate, glaring at the students streaming out of the school. To students, anyone who looked unmistakably like a bad egg was someone to give a wide berth.
After walking out of the school, Wang Xinyan saw them too and started in fright. Without needing to think twice, she knew these people had come for Wei Zhao. She turned and ran back inside the school!
"Young Master You, that little girl is over there!" Young Master You had his eyes fixed on Wei Zhao, while Yellow-Hair had been watching Wang Xinyan the whole time - he had not forgotten the task Young Master You had entrusted to him.
"Why is she running?" Young Master You caught sight of Wang Xinyan at that moment, furrowed his brow, and barked, "Go catch her and bring her back!"
Yellow-Hair nodded and was about to give chase when a school security guard blocked him at the gate. Right now, the examination grounds operated on an exit-only basis. Yellow-Hair frowned, ready to fly into a rage, but then remembered this was the site of the national college entrance examination. If a real scene were made, he wouldn't be afraid of anything himself - it was the old master back home he feared would blame him!
After all, the old master held learning and scholarly families in the highest regard. If he got wind of such an uproar at the examination, there would surely be no pleasant end for Young Master You!
So after a moment's hesitation, Yellow-Hair turned back and said to Young Master You, "Young Master You, security guards are blocking the entrance - they won't let anyone into the school! This is an examination site; if we cause trouble, it won't go well for us..."
"Mm, no need to chase her. I refuse to believe she can hide in there forever - she has to come out sometime! We'll wait right here." Young Master You was no fool either, and naturally understood what Yellow-Hair was wary of.
