Chapter 151 — You Cannot Drink, Though Wei Zhao Was Inside the Room He Heard Everything Outside Clearly, From Gu Mengyao Losing Her Temper to Uncle Qing Arriving and Their Talk at the Dinner Table

Wei Zhao stretched lazily. These were extraordinary times, and with the two girls heading out so late at night, he could hardly just sit by and do nothing, even though they had said nothing about taking him along. He would follow them from a distance and that would be that.

With that in mind, Wei Zhao prepared to get out of his school uniform and into something else. His First High uniform was far too conspicuous, and out on the street at night it was bound to draw stares. If Gu Mengyao spotted him, that would be awkward.

He dug out a casual outfit he had bought cheap from a street stall over the weekend and stripped off his school clothes until only his underwear was left. He was just about to dress when the bedroom door was pushed open. "Ah!" Shen Yushu had never expected to find Wei Zhao naked in his room, and she jumped in fright, nearly screaming out loud. Luckily her hand was quick, clamping over her mouth, while her other hand flew up to cover her eyes, though through the cracks between her fingers she sized up Wei Zhao's build. Not bad, he even had abs... Well, she told herself, she had already seen everything down there anyway, so another look now hardly mattered. Still, she could not let Wei Zhao catch her peeking, so keeping her eyes covered was necessary.

"You... how did you get in here?" Wei Zhao was startled too. He was right in the middle of changing when the door was pushed open. If he had not known there was no danger in this villa, he would have lashed out with a kick the moment the door moved.

He hurriedly snatched up a pair of pants to shield himself. Thick-skinned as Wei Zhao could be, having Shen Yushu stare at him like that was embarrassing.

"I came because I have something to tell you, of course!" Shen Yushu said with a red face. "Put your pants on, quick! Are you running around naked indoors?"

"No, I heard you were going out, so I thought I would change and follow behind at a distance." Wei Zhao hid nothing from Shen Yushu. This girl loved a commotion at times, but in most matters she knew right from wrong and would not act recklessly.

"Ah? You know we are going out?" Shen Yushu was a little surprised, and she even dropped the hand covering her eyes. By then, however, Wei Zhao had already pulled his pants on quickly and was only bare-chested.

Even so, it was a mortifying sight, and though Shen Yushu was curious, she was too embarrassed to stare. She thought to herself, well, once Sister Yao marries him, I can look all I want. Hee hee, ha ha...

"I caught some of what you were saying just now." Wei Zhao nodded and pulled a cheap T-shirt over his head. He still had too few clothes of his own, and he ought to buy a few more when he had time.

"Oh, then I won't bother explaining!" Shen Yushu said, pressing a bunch of keys into Wei Zhao's hand. "Here, this is the garage key to my villa, and this is my car key. Sister Yao is sure to drive in a bit, and without a car, what do you think you are, Superman, that you could keep up on foot!"

"Oh? All right, thanks." Wei Zhao had not expected Shen Yushu to hand him her car keys.

"I am afraid Sister Yao will go crazy and run off somewhere dangerous..." Shen Yushu said, a little embarrassed. "Then you will have to step in as our fighter!"

"..." Wei Zhao broke out in a sweat. It seemed this girl was still just in it for the excitement, afraid she would have nowhere to show off...

"I'm off. Sister Yao is picking out clothes, and I slipped out while I could. Go get the car first!" With that, Shen Yushu left the room.

Wei Zhao finished dressing by then, took the keys Shen Yushu had given him, and hurried out of the villa, striding quickly toward Shen Yushu's villa. Shen Yushu's villa was easy to recognize, standing right across from Gu Mengyao's, separated by only a single street.

He opened the outer iron gate of the villa and found Shen Yushu's garage, where to his surprise a yellow Beetle was parked. Wei Zhao smiled wryly and rubbed his nose. It was a rather feminine car. Men drove them too, of course, but this color was really flashy.

Wei Zhao opened the door and got in, drove the car out of Shen Yushu's villa, and parked it by the roadside. If he drove straight out of the villa later, he might arouse Gu Mengyao's suspicion, but out on the road it did not matter. There were plenty of cars just like it, and this late at night Gu Mengyao would never look closely enough to check the license plate.

He switched off the headlights and waited quietly for Gu Mengyao's car to come out.

After a while, Gu Mengyao's Audi S5 rolled slowly out of the villa, and as it turned the corner it gave a honk of the horn, as if deliberately signaling to Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback, then understood. It was probably Shen Yushu driving, giving him a little reminder.

Wei Zhao turned on his headlights, started the engine, and followed slowly behind. Since it was Shen Yushu driving, Wei Zhao felt all the more at ease. As a rule only the driver pays attention to the road, while passengers rarely keep looking around, so he was not afraid Gu Mengyao would notice him tailing them.

Wei Zhao had guessed right. It was indeed Shen Yushu driving. Using Gu Mengyao's bad mood as an excuse, she had volunteered to be the driver for once, which left Gu Mengyao quite surprised.

Shen Yushu hated driving most, street racing aside. She felt a car could never really get going on city streets, all that stopping and starting, and it drove her mad.

After wheedling her with a few cries of "Sister Yao," Gu Mengyao reluctantly let her drive. As for her own Beetle, left in the garage it would hardly be taken out once in a year and a half.

"Sister Yao, where are we going?" Shen Yushu glanced at the rearview mirror, saw her yellow Beetle following behind, and felt relieved.

In the past, no matter how late they went out, Uncle Qing would follow them. But ever since Wei Zhao arrived, apart from driving them to school and looking after their meals, everything else had fallen on Wei Zhao's shoulders.

Shen Yushu had been puzzled before, but after the bank incident she realized Wei Zhao really had some ability in him, and was not just good at beating up petty thugs.

That was why she had called on Wei Zhao for this outing. Shen Yushu was no fool. With the two of them rated the beauties of the school, she knew very well what they looked like. Their background might be powerful, but strangers would not know that. So it was far safer to bring their shield brother along.

"Let's go to a bar? I want a drink. How about you?" Gu Mengyao was in a foul mood as she gazed at the night view outside the window.

"I want a drink too." Shen Yushu nodded excitedly. "I have never had one before. With Uncle Qing following us, I never dared. This time I can drink all I want! Oh, wonderful!"

With Uncle Qing at their side, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu naturally behaved themselves and could not do anything too outrageous. After all, Uncle Qing was Gu Pengzhan's trusted man, and he could report everything happening here back at any time.

"Xiao Shu, no, you can only have juice." Gu Mengyao pointed at the steering wheel. "If you drink, who is going to drive?"
