Chapter 2015 — Quite Exaggerated
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Ahem..." Wei Zhao had just been thinking that Han Jingyi had finally stopped asking him why—and here she was, asking. He was speechless. "Nothing's wrong. Your approach to researching pill refining is certainly... unique..."
"Right, right? Brother Wei Zhao, I'm sure I can develop a method of pill refining that combines modern science with ancient herbal formulas, and become a really, really amazing pill refiner!" Han Jingyi said with a nod.
"Good, carry on with your research..." Wei Zhao did not know what else to say. Privately, he thought: this girl is either a genius or a lunatic—and judging by how she usually behaves, lunatic seems the likelier bet.
Wei Zhao sent Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu a text asking whether they would join them for dinner that evening, and of course they agreed without a moment's thought—a dinner with Xu Shilan present was not to be missed.
Seeing that reply, Wei Zhao felt inexplicably nervous. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had never seemed very friendly toward Wang Xinyan. At the table, the young lady would be fine, but little Shu might well blurt out something awkward again—and that would be rather embarrassing.
After all, this would be the first time Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu dined with the classmates from his own dorm and with Wang Xinyan. Wei Zhao had only asked out of courtesy, never expecting them to come; their own dorm was performing too, so it was likelier they would go out to dinner together that night.
He shook his head. There was nothing for it but to take things one step at a time.
At last, amid a roar of cheers, the freshman gala came to an end. The results of the award selection for the gala's acts would be posted on the campus BBS tomorrow.
Wei Zhao headed toward the parking lot with Bai Weituo, Zhao Shengji, Song Xiaodao, and Wang Xinyan, while Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi had long since slipped out of the school auditorium and were waiting quietly for Wei Zhao in the business van in the parking lot.
Otherwise, when the students all came pouring out together, anyone who caught sight of Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi would surely mob them. Even now, some students in the crowd were craning their necks, searching for Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi.
Just then, He Meiyue and Chai Xiaoling arrived at the parking lot as well—though Lan Xiaoru was not with them.
"Meiyue, where's Xiaoru?" Bai Weituo walked over and asked.
"Xiaoru had something to do with her boyfriend. She didn't even come to tonight's freshman gala," He Meiyue said.
"What could be so important that she would skip the freshman gala?" Bai Weituo was surprised.
