Chapter 122 — The Beautiful Campus Days

When it was within reach, Wei Zhao wanted to throw himself into it with all his might. There was no toil as in his hometown, no tension and peril of the battlefield, no heart-stopping thrills of carrying out a mission. Everything, absolutely everything, was so peaceful and easy. And so Wei Zhao had come to rather like his present life.

Why has that girl from the next class still not passed by my window? Snacks in my mouth, comics in my hand, first love in my heart, childhood...

When he had listened to this song in the past, Wei Zhao had always felt that such a life was very far from him, that he and the characters in the song belonged to two entirely different worlds. Just think... the girl from the next class passing by his window... and then a little flirtation growing between them... that would surely feel wonderful, would it not?

That was why Wei Zhao had always read rebirth novels to indulge in a little nostalgia. There was one, for instance, written by a man called Yu Ren Er Dai, titled Rebirth: Chasing the Beauties, which contained exactly this sort of pure campus life, something Wei Zhao could look back upon with fond longing.

If Big Sister and his employer Gu Pengzhan did not object... he could actually try starting a pure romance... with Tang Yun, for instance... or with Shen Yushu... Hmm? Why had he thought of that wicked girl?

Wei Zhao glanced sideways at Shen Yushu. He had to admit that Shen Yushu was very pretty, and her figure was good too... But the key problem was that she was Big Sister's best friend. On second thought, better to forget it... otherwise Big Sister would truly blow up...

"Oh... whether you change or not, what does it have to do with me? What do you mean, I do not like it? Suit yourself..." Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Gu Mengyao felt rather angry. With any other boy, if she bought him a piece of clothing, he would be only too happy to wear it every single day. But Wei Zhao...

Gu Mengyao had meant to say, Of course I like you in what you wore yesterday, but when the words reached her lips, they turned into Big Sister's pride and self-respect. She sighed deeply in her heart. Gu Mengyao felt a little sorry for herself; she simply did not have Shu's boldness, the nerve to say anything at all.

"Heh, then I will wear it tomorrow."

Wei Zhao smiled.

"Mhm, mhm, Sister Yaoyao told me last night that you look really handsome in casual clothes!" Shen Yushu cut in.

"Shu!" Gu Mengyao was about to explode with anger. She had just been thinking that Shen Yushu was rather bold, but she had never expected this great blabbermouth to leak the contents of their conversation from last night...

Wei Zhao glanced at Gu Mengyao in some surprise; he had not expected that Big Sister also had her moments of honesty... As they were talking, Uncle Qing's car pulled up at the villa gate and honked twice. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu put down their chopsticks, picked up their schoolbags, and headed for the villa entrance.

Wei Zhao looked at the leftovers on the table. There was no need to clear them away at once; he trusted that Uncle Qing would come by at noon to deal with it. So Wei Zhao also picked up his schoolbag and left the villa with them.

This time Gu Pengzhan was not there, and Wei Zhao still sat in the front passenger seat. The car started slowly and drove off toward the school. When they neared the school, Wei Zhao was quite tactful about it; he had Uncle Qing stop the car and got out.

Watching Wei Zhao's retreating back, Shen Yushu said, "Sister Yaoyao, the way you are going about it, you will never get any use out of him as a shield!"

"Let me think about it a while longer... suddenly having an extra boyfriend out of nowhere, I cannot quite accept it." Gu Mengyao shook her head, a little embarrassed. "Even though it is fake, other people do not know that." "If other people knew it was fake, then what would be the point..." Shen Yushu was speechless.

Wei Zhao had not taken two steps after getting out of the car when he heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw Kang Xiaobo come flying toward him... Not far behind him — huh? Was that Tang Yun?

It looked like the two of them had come on the same bus?

"Boss, that car just now was...?" Kang Xiaobo had just seen Wei Zhao get out of a luxury car. Though he had been too far away to make out exactly what the car was, judging by its shape it had to be worth over a million...

"Oh, it belongs to a friend. He happened to be passing by, so he gave me a ride..." Wei Zhao said indifferently. Gu Mengyao had told him not to talk nonsense, and Wei Zhao was not one to wag his tongue either. This was even better; he was still thinking of starting a pure romance — if people knew he was Big Sister's errand boy, what romance could he possibly start?

"Oh, it seemed like quite an impressive car." Kang Xiaobo was a little envious. Suddenly he slapped the back of his head and lowered his voice mysteriously: "Boss, guess who I rode the same bus with today?"

"Tang Yun, I suppose," Wei Zhao said.

"Uh..." Kang Xiaobo was startled. "How did you know?"

"Is she not right there, not far behind you?" Wei Zhao smiled wryly. "I am not blind..."

"Ah, it was supposed to be such an exciting thing, but the way you put it, it sounds completely ordinary." Kang Xiaobo looked thoroughly dejected.

"It was not all that exciting to begin with," Wei Zhao said. "That girl Tang Yun is a prickly one; whoever touches her is out of luck." "Wei Zhao, what did you say?" Tang Yun had spotted Kang Xiaobo, Wei Zhao's little follower, the moment she boarded the bus, but she had paid him no attention. When he got off and she saw him run into Wei Zhao, she turned her attention to Wei Zhao.

The scene of Wei Zhao getting out of the luxury car had also been fully taken in by Tang Yun. As for his explanation to Kang Xiaobo about some friend's car, Tang Yun snorted in contempt. Was he not just a rich family's young master, coming to school pretending to be poor? Yesterday he had been wearing a set of very high-class casual clothes, and today he had changed into a school uniform... Hmph. Tang Yun thought Wei Zhao was a thorough hypocrite.

Suddenly hearing Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaobo talking about her, Tang Yun pricked up her ears. When Wei Zhao started making her out to be something bad, she blurted out without thinking... After she said it, she regretted it a little. She did not want to become too entangled with Wei Zhao. Tang Yun did not deny that Wei Zhao looked very manly — it was not that being handsome meant being manly; this kind of manliness was a very unique charm. Tang Yun, just awakening to love, was not blind either; he was many times better than Bu Ruoming. But Tang Yun also understood very well that this kind of rich young master, when it came to women, was basically just playing around... She had seen far too many examples... such as her own childhood playmate...

Whenever she thought of how her friend had been abandoned by the boyfriend who had used her and then cast her aside, Tang Yun felt a pang of bitterness and helplessness. Who told their two families to be the weaker party? She could hardly go to that young master's house to cry and make a scene, could she? Whether they would even open the door was another matter...

Wei Zhao had not expected Tang Yun, not far behind him, to be paying attention to his conversation with Kang Xiaobo. Startled, he turned around and said with an embarrassed smile, "I was saying you look pretty..." "You...!" Tang Yun flushed red with anger, shot Wei Zhao a venomous glare, strode over, and stamped hard on the instep of his foot. Then, ignoring Wei Zhao entirely, she walked on without once looking back...
