Chapter 3027 — The Peculiar Little Shu (Part Two)
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Shen Yushu held not the slightest fondness for the Fiery Flame Mountain sect. Had it not been for that sect, her parents would never have been captured, nor held hostage by the Yu family. So even though Fiery Cloud seemed entirely innocent, she still disliked him.
"This..." Fiery Cloud was truly at a loss for words. He looked to Gu Mengyao and Wu Chengtian. "I mean no harm. I have only come to call on Brother Lin, the young hero Lin..."
"Little Shu, come now, the man is Wei Zhao's guest. If he is not to stay in the house, are you really going to forbid him from staying outside as well?" Gu Mengyao felt this was getting rather unreasonable. If you would not let him stay outside, surely there had to be a reason? This was simply making a fuss over nothing.
Fiery Cloud was, after all, the young sect master of an ancient sect, and by this point he felt thoroughly wronged. He had only come to visit Wei Zhao. He was not staying in their house—was even lodging at the gate not permitted? Even a clay figure has a bit of temper; did Fiery Cloud have none? Of course, he dared not actually show any anger. He could plainly sense that if he simply left, Shen Yushu might well fail to inform him when Wei Zhao returned. So he resorted to sheer stubbornness: "This gateway is public space, not part of your house. If I stay here, what business is it of yours? I am making camp right here!"
With that, Fiery Cloud drove his car to the communal parking area of the villa compound, then set up a tent directly in the grass beside it, paying Shen Yushu no further attention.
Gu Mengyao shrugged helplessly. She herself did not much mind Fiery Cloud; the crux of the matter was Shen Yushu. Why on earth had she reacted so violently?
"All right, Little Shu, let us go back. Leave him be. He is staying outside, so he cannot affect us," Gu Mengyao said, tugging at Shen Yushu.
"Oh, fine. But what if he carries Little Shu off? Then Sister Yaoyao will never see Little Shu again..." Shen Yushu muttered under her breath.
"What kind of nonsense is that? Why would he carry you off? He is here to see Wei Zhao, is he not?" Gu Mengyao found Little Shu's behavior today rather strange as well. Only once they were inside the villa did she ask, "Little Shu, what is the matter with you today? You seem so odd. Is this man your enemy?"
"I do not know. Little Shu just cannot stand the sight of him, and does not want him staying here!" Shen Yushu said.
"But we should at least tell Wei Zhao about it, should we not? How about you call Wei Zhao, tell him what has happened, and see what he says?" Gu Mengyao saw no other way. If Little Shu would not talk, questioning her was useless—but they ought to inform the person concerned, at the very least.
"All right. I will call Brother Arrow-Brand." Shen Yushu hesitated, then nodded.
With that, Shen Yushu picked up the phone and started upstairs. Gu Mengyao was puzzled. "Little Shu, why are you going upstairs to make a call? Could you not just call from downstairs? Why put yourself to all this trouble?"
"Oh... well... it is like this. I miss Brother Arrow-Brand quite a lot, and I want to whisper sweet nothings to him. Wu Chengtian is downstairs, so I would be embarrassed..." Shen Yushu said.
"...You, embarrassed?" Gu Mengyao found it all the more peculiar. (Summoning [Monthly] tickets) (To be continued.
