Chapter 2043 — There Must Be Something Wrong
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In truth, Shen Yushu did not much mind how many girlfriends Wei Zhao took. What worried her was Gu Mengyao's interests—and as for herself... whenever she thought of her own affairs, Shen Yushu was reluctant to follow the thought any further.
So, once she understood Gu Mengyao's intentions, she too meant to lend Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan a hand. But for the moment, Wang Xinyan had a rather tiresome suitor, and that this fellow should spoil the good thing between Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan left Shen Yushu rather displeased. She meant to find a chance to teach Fan Ganhe a lesson.
And now, here was an excellent chance.
Otherwise, Shen Yushu would never have been so bored as to get out of the car and play with the Lion King.
"Fan Ganhe, what are you doing up there in the car? Why don't you come down? I hear Wang Xinyan likes brave men! You are simply too cowardly. Look at Brother Arrowbrand—he isn't afraid of the lion at all!" Shen Yushu made a gesture of contempt at Fan Ganhe in the car.
"Pfft..." At Shen Yushu's words, Wei Zhao nearly burst out laughing. That trick again? Brave men? Earlier it had been that Gu Mengyao liked brave men, hadn't it? When had it become Wang Xinyan?
"I..." Fan Ganhe had been puzzled to begin with, and now that Shen Yushu had poured scorn on him he grew anxious at once. "Who says I'm not brave? How is any of this bravery? There is something strange about this lion—it doesn't attack people at all!"
"That's right, there is obviously something wrong with this lion!" Zhang Duopan chimed in. "What kind of lion king is this? Uncle Yan, did you make a mistake?"
"This..." Uncle Yan found it rather eerie too. The lion was plainly docile—it did not bite at all. Even with its ear being pulled, it looked delighted. What a foolish lion!
"Isn't this a contest of bravery? Can a sports student like me be weaker than you?" Fan Ganhe made up his mind almost without hesitation. Since nothing had happened to Wei Zhao and Shen Yushu, then surely nothing would happen to him either if he went down!
And Wei Zhao and Shen Yushu had probably known all along that something was wrong with this lion king—that was why they had dared get out of the car. It was just like earlier, when Zhang Duopan and the tamers had agreed beforehand not to fear the tiger: they all knew the inside story!
They had cheated themselves, and so naturally they assumed Wei Zhao was cheating too.
With that, Fan Ganhe jumped down from the car. And in the instant he leaped, Shen Yushu lowered her voice and muttered a few words to the lion, which nodded hurriedly to show it understood.
But hardly anyone paid attention to this. A person talking with a lion? To them, that was impossible.
In the car, Wang Xinyan was somewhat taken aback to hear Shen Yushu say that she liked brave men. Since when did she like brave men? Wei Zhao was brave, certainly, but...
Gu Mengyao only smiled faintly. "Xiaoshu wants to help you shake off that suitor, Fan Ganhe."
"Ah?" Wang Xinyan started, then saw that Fan Ganhe had already gotten out of the car, and more or less understood.
"Hey, you mangy lion, there must be something wrong with you. Out with it—have you been tamed?" The moment Fan Ganhe was out of the car, he pointed at the lion and demanded.
