Chapter 1951 — What Am I Supposed to Do?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"I know. Don't worry — Zhang Duopan clearly hasn't a shred of artistic sense. I'm confident I can beat him." Bai Weituo thumped his chest as he spoke.
"Still, don't underestimate him. That kid has a nasty streak." Wei Zhao said. The business in the cafeteria had made it plain enough: Zhang Duopan was a schemer, full of tricks.
Soon Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi returned from the restroom. The two seemed a little more familiar with each other now, but Wang Xinyan, for reasons she could not quite name, still did not invite Han Jingyi to share her desk. Perhaps she did not want to disturb the ease and quiet she had with Wei Zhao during class.
She had grown used to sitting beside Wei Zhao. It gave her a feeling of solidity, of peace — as though this were simply how things were meant to be.
And so she did not want anyone else joining them, breaking a stillness whose duration she could not guess.
She had heard that Kang Jinglong was also pursuing a doctorate in pharmacy at Donghai Engineering University, and that she had been sent here precisely to create opportunities for contact with him... Once Kang Jinglong appeared, this quiet would surely be shattered.
At noon Wei Zhao sent the young miss a text message, telling her he needed to go back to Songshan City to see Sun Jingyan and compare her internal-energy method and true qi with the true qi in Granny Sun's head.
The young miss agreed without a moment's hesitation — but then handed Wei Zhao a difficult task: he was to go back to the villa and bring her all the underwear from her room on the second floor...
There was underwear for sale here too, of course, but some of it she had grown used to wearing and did not want to change.
Wei Zhao was speechless. He remembered how, when he first arrived, the young miss would not even let him go upstairs; now... she was sending him to fetch her underwear. And when had she become so bold and uninhibited? Had she not always been a reserved sort of person?
While Wei Zhao was puzzling over this, Gu Mengyao was about to explode with fury. "Xiaoshu, who told you to send that?"
"But Sister Yaoyao, didn't you say yourself that the new underwear and pajamas you bought don't feel right, and that you wanted everything from home in Songshan brought over? I saw Brother Arrow was going back, so I had him pick it up on the way..." Shen Yushu said, perfectly justified.
"In the cabinet? What thing?" Shen Yushu blinked, momentarily blank.
"You bought it yourself — you don't know what it is?" Gu Mengyao snapped. "That rotating whatsit you mail-ordered! You just had to buy that piece of junk out of curiosity!"
"Ah!" At Gu Mengyao's reminder, Shen Yushu remembered at once. There was a small box in the cabinet, and inside it were indeed some realistic female products. She had bought them online out of curiosity, but once they arrived she discovered they could damage the hymen, so she had not dared try them. After studying them for a while she had tossed them into the cabinet, and later forgotten all about them. She had never expected Gu Mengyao to remember.
"Don't 'ah' me — send a text right now and tell him not to take it!" Gu Mengyao was beside herself.
"But if I text him now, won't that just make it more obvious? What if Brother Arrow gets even more curious?" Shen Yushu said.
"You..." Gu Mengyao thought it over, and it was true. If she sent a message now stopping Wei Zhao from fetching the underwear, he would find it very strange, and then he might go through everything carefully, and the whole thing would blow up even bigger — as if she and Xiaoshu were a pair of lechers deliberately hiding something from him...
At that thought, Gu Mengyao sighed in defeat. "Forget it. You can explain tonight."
"Oh, it's fine, I'll explain it well. Don't worry, I won't drag Sister Yaoyao into it!" Shen Yushu promised, patting her chest.
"It had nothing to do with me in the first place!" Gu Mengyao shrieked, frantic with anger.
