Chapter 1953 — Her Brother Is Me
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Her brother is me," Wei Zhao said with a faint smile as he walked over.
"You?" Zou Ruoming froze. He had not expected anyone to answer, but when he turned and saw who it was, his expression changed at once. He had not imagined the newcomer would be Wei Zhao. His legs went weak, and he nearly dropped to the ground right there.
Recalling what Ying Ziyu had said earlier — that her brother was nothing but a lapdog in front of his brother — he saw now that she had been absolutely right. Never mind Zou Ruoguang; even his own father, Zou Tiandi, was nothing but trash before the great Master Lin!
"Master Lin... Ziyu is your sister..." Only now did Zou Ruoming realize what a stupid thing he had done. Of all the girls to chase, he had to go after Ying Ziyu! His original target had been Chen Xi, the school beauty from an ordinary family, but he had been thoroughly humiliated by Wei Zhao for chasing Tang Zhi, another school beauty from a common background, and the experience had left him with some lingering fear. So he had set his sights on Ying Ziyu, the pretty school beauty — never suspecting that she was actually Wei Zhao's sister!
"Why haven't you graduated yet, kid? Can't you find something worthwhile to do? All you know is chasing girls!" Wei Zhao frowned. He could tell that Ying Ziyu had not come off badly, so he could not be bothered to hold a grudge against Zou Ruoming. With this little hoodlum around the school, he could actually be useful — he could help watch over Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi.
"Ah... Master Lin, I can't get into university anyway, so I'm just killing a few extra years here..." Zou Ruoming said awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Master Lin. I didn't know Ying Ziyu was your sister. If I had, you could have lent me a hundred times the courage and I still wouldn't have dared to court her... I'll throw these flowers away..."
"Forget it. No need to throw them away after buying them." Wei Zhao casually plucked the bouquet from Zou Ruoming's hands. "I'll borrow the flowers to make my offering. Ziyu, these are for you."
Ying Ziyu had already been overjoyed to see Wei Zhao, and when she saw him offer her flowers, her heart betrayed her with a frantic flutter, and her face flushed red at once. In front of others, Ying Ziyu was a fiery little beauty, but before Wei Zhao she was a docile child. She took the flowers and said shyly, "Thank you, Brother Wei Zhao..."
"Uh..." Zou Ruoming stared, dumbfounded. Ying Ziyu had a shy side like this? Then it suddenly struck him that Wei Zhao and Ying Ziyu did not even share the same surname — so these siblings... could they be that kind of siblings?
At the thought, Zou Ruoming's legs began to tremble. His eyes had truly been set at the soles of his feet. The two women he had chased were both Master Lin's women — he was courting death!
"Brother Wei Zhao!" Chen Xi had spotted Wei Zhao too by then. But when she saw him give flowers to Ying Ziyu, her expression dimmed — though she quickly recovered, and delight took its place again. "What are you doing here?"
Wei Zhao's perception was far too keen for him to miss Chen Xi's disappointment. With a faint smile, he split the bouquet in Ying Ziyu's hands into two bunches and handed one to Chen Xi. "These were meant for both of you anyway. I was just about to have Ziyu bring yours to you."
"Yes, yes, Chen Xi, Brother Wei Zhao was actually going to give all the flowers to you!" Ying Ziyu said, looking at Chen Xi with a teasing glint. She knew perfectly well what was in Chen Xi's heart; the two of them had teased each other often enough about Wei Zhao lately.
"Ah... really..." Chen Xi's heart leaped with joy, but then Ying Ziyu's look gave her a fright. Afraid she might blurt out something inappropriate in front of Wei Zhao, she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Wei Zhao. Let's... let's go outside to talk. It's not really suitable here at the classroom door..."
