As for Wei Zhao, he was hardly in a position to explain his relationship with Wang Xinyan, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
That afternoon in the dorm, with nothing else to do, everyone broke out a deck of cards, and Wei Zhao joined in with gusto. But around four o'clock, his phone buzzed—a text from the young lady.
"Coming back or not?" Just four short words, and it was plain enough that the young lady was still simmering. Wei Zhao shook his head helplessly, though he did understand this abrupt question well enough: Gu Mengyao was asking whether he was coming back to the newly bought villa.
So Wei Zhao replied swiftly: "Coming back. Wait for me in the parking lot."
After sending it, he turned to his roommates with an apologetic look. "Sorry, I've got something to take care of this evening—heading out now, probably won't be back. See you in the morning. You all keep playing!"
"No way? Brother Lin, you're going to go book a room with Sister-in-law Xinyan?" Bai Weituo's eyes went wide with shock.
"That's a bit fast, isn't it? No—you two knew each other already. There must have been something going on long before this!" Song Xiaodao deduced.
"Huh? What're you all talking about?" Zhao Shengji had just polished off several cream buns and hadn't caught what Wei Zhao said.
"None of your business—just keep eating, you glutton!" Bai Weituo rolled his eyes, because he had noticed that Zhao Shengji's mouth practically never stopped. Ever since they got back from Cafeteria No. 4, this guy had gone down to the supermarket by the dorm and bought a mountain of snacks, eating while playing cards—who knew how his stomach could hold so much.
"Stop guessing. It's not her." Wei Zhao shrugged and said, a little helplessly, "If you don't believe me, you can call their dorm later."
At dinner earlier, though they hadn't grown close enough to exchange cell numbers, they had exchanged dorm numbers and agreed to keep in touch.
So hearing this, the others lost interest in digging further. Little did they know that Wei Zhao wasn't going out to spend the night with Wang Xinyan, but to "while away the night" with two other fine ladies.
Wei Zhao didn't use his true qi, but his speed was still beyond the reach of ordinary people. Though the girls' dorm was closer to the parking lot than the boys', Wei Zhao still got there first.
Which improved the expressions on the faces of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, who arrived after him.
"Chewing Gum Guy, hurry up and sweet-talk Sister Yaoyao—she got mad when she saw you treating other pretty girls to dinner!" Shen Yushu said to Wei Zhao once she got in the car.
"Ha... it's really nothing. A friend in my dorm said he wanted to set up a dorm-to-dorm matchmaking, but you two said you had plans, so I asked Wang Xinyan and the girls from her dorm to come out," Wei Zhao explained with a smile.
"No need to explain to me. I'm not your employer anymore." Gu Mengyao gave a light snort. "I'm only reminding you—you're a man with a girlfriend. Don't go around philandering all the time."
"A girlfriend... right..." Wei Zhao sometimes overlooked the fact that he had a girlfriend. Gu Mengyao's reminder made him think of Feng Xiaoxiao, but no matter how he tried to recall, his memories of Feng Xiaoxiao seemed to have a few gaps in them.
The process of meeting her, coming to know her, falling in love with her—it was somewhat disjointed, as though something were missing. So although thinking of Feng Xiaoxiao stirred a deep ache of longing in his heart, when he wasn't thinking of her, she was easy to overlook.
"Is Feng Xiaoxiao my only girlfriend?" Wei Zhao furrowed his brow, feeling as though he had forgotten something very important after his qi deviation, yet he had no impression of it at all. It was only an intuition—whether it was true or not, he couldn't be sure.
