Chapter 1729 — You Ate It Too!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"It's called a 'big eagle roast,' haha, very famous — why don't you give it a try?" An Liwen explained with an evil grin. "Haha, doesn't it look just like a certain body part?"
"I don't want it — take it away!" Gu Mengyao shot An Liwen a glare. What on earth was he playing at, bringing something like that over? Was he trying to ruin her appetite?
An Liwen had not expected his cleverness to backfire. Was Gu Mengyao really this innocent? The last time he had come, he had brought Su Taizao and a bunch of girls along, and those girls had queued up scrambling to eat these, joking and laughing with him and Su Taizao in a way that was flirty beyond words. How was it that with a different girl, the effect was completely different?
"Xiaoshu, do you want one?" An Liwen asked Xiaoshu, a little awkwardly.
"Oh, I'll give it a try." Shen Yushu actually found the thing rather fun — she just wondered whether it tasted any good.
An Liwen handed the big eagle roast to Xiaoshu with a sense of relief. Xiaoshu did not stand on ceremony — she picked it up and took a bite.
Gu Mengyao felt her face redden. Honestly, this Xiaoshu — she would eat absolutely anything.
"Is it good?" An Liwen asked. The question had been meant for Gu Mengyao, so that the two of them could naturally slip into a few suggestive, flirtatious words — but since Shen Yushu had eaten it, An Liwen's interest had evaporated, and he asked only for form's sake.
"It's all right, but not as good as Brother Arrowbrand's!" Shen Yushu said.
"Huh?" An Liwen froze, and Wei Zhao nearly lost his footing and took a tumble, while Tang Zhi turned to look at Wei Zhao with undisguised suspicion and doubt.
"Xiaoshu, you've eaten... Wei Zhao's?" Gu Mengyao sensed this was getting serious. The real problem was that Shen Yushu, with her famously thick skin, had blurted out such a thing in public — how could she?
"I have!" Shen Yushu nodded, utterly deadpan.
"Cough, cough..." Wei Zhao was startled. Seeing the bewilderment filling the eyes of Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi, he hurriedly said, "Xiaoshu, when exactly did you eat it?"
"At home, of course?" Shen Yushu said.
"At home?" Gu Mengyao shot Wei Zhao a murderous glare, then asked Xiaoshu sternly, "Xiaoshu, explain yourself clearly — at home, when did you eat it? Where was I at the time? What was I doing?"
Gu Mengyao was actually turning it over in her mind: she and Xiaoshu were together almost every day, sometimes with Tang Zhi along too — so when could Xiaoshu and Wei Zhao possibly have had the chance to do anything? Could they have been sneaking around behind her back in the middle of the night?
"It was a few days ago — you were home too, and you ate it too!" Shen Yushu said.
"What? Me?" Gu Mengyao nearly dropped the plate in her hands. What kind of international joke was Xiaoshu playing? When had she ever eaten it?
This time, even Tang Zhi found it rather implausible. If she were told there was something going on between Xiaoshu and Wei Zhao, she might believe it — after all, Xiaoshu was bold, and she secretly harbored feelings for Wei Zhao, so naturally she would dare to do anything.
