Chapter 1604 — In Trouble
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Although the activity center offered many forms of entertainment, the number of actual guests was small — a single glance revealed it to be quite empty! But this was to be expected: the activity center was open only to resort guests and did not operate commercially. Just how many guests could there be?
Wei Zhao and the other two found a spot and sat down. Noticing that Gu Mengyao looked a little pale and weak, Wei Zhao turned to Shen Yushu and said, "What would you like to play? Shall I take you?"
"Sure!" Shen Yushu too had noticed that Gu Mengyao was unwell, so she didn't insist. "Yao-yao jie, you just watch us from here, okay?"
"Mm..." Gu Mengyao nodded.
Most of the time, in her heart, Gu Mengyao still wished Xiao Shu well, hoping she would find a good home! And as for Wei Zhao — judged purely on character and ability, he was indeed a fine choice. But the crux of the matter was that Wei Zhao already had a girlfriend, and not just one.
Was there still a chance for Shen Yushu and him? Even if Xiao Shu said she didn't care on the surface, did she truly not care deep down? And then there was that absurd agreement between them — a main wife and a side wife? Sometimes Gu Mengyao found it very difficult to truly understand Shen Yushu's real thoughts.
Sometimes she seemed simple-minded, always playing the fool. But Gu Mengyao felt that more often than not, Shen Yushu was not pretending to be dumb — perhaps everything she said was perfectly true.
Having grown up alongside Shen Yushu since childhood, no one knew her better than Gu Mengyao. But even so, Gu Mengyao truly did not understand her — this seemingly carefree, even "happy little airhead" of a girl seemed, somehow, not to be living happily at all.
But in many situations, even though they were as close as sisters, whatever secrets Shen Yushu held in her heart and was unwilling to share, Gu Mengyao would never deliberately pry. No matter what, she was Xiao Shu's Yao-yao jie, and she would be good to her for the rest of her life!
Gu Mengyao sighed, quietly resting her head on the table, watching Wei Zhao and Xiao Shu walk away...
Wei Zhao kept Shen Yushu company through a few amusement rides, but Shen Yushu seemed rather subdued, not nearly as lively as before. It was presumably because Gu Mengyao couldn't come along. Wei Zhao found it rather amusing — these two sisters were something else.
"I don't feel like playing anymore, Brother Arrow. Let's go back and keep Yao-yao company!" Shen Yushu said, her enthusiasm flagging.
"Heh, sure." Wei Zhao nodded, went to the nearby beverage counter and bought three bottles of drinks, then headed toward Gu Mengyao's spot with Xiao Shu. But after just two steps, Wei Zhao's face darkened into a scowl!
Because Wei Zhao saw that beside Gu Mengyao's seat sat a bald man in dark sunglasses, chattering away nonstop at her. And standing beside the bald man were several young thugs who plainly looked like nothing but trouble!
