Chapter 286 — Brother Liang Writes a Blood Letter

"I'll ask her about it then." Wei Zhao would never make a decision for Tang Yun.

"Good, and if that fails I'll have Xiaofen go talk to her." Kang Xiaobo had finally settled a worry on his mind. If Wei Zhao did not go with him, he really would not dare take Xiaofen along alone. Heaven knew what trouble might crop up.

"By the way, I have something for you." As he spoke, Wei Zhao took one of the sealed food containers from his bag and handed it to Kang Xiaobo.

"What is this?" Kang Xiaobo took it and looked it over. It seemed to be something to eat.

"Shark meat and shark fin. Aren't you going to the hospital to see Xiaofen at noon? Take it with you, and eat it together." Wei Zhao said.

"Shark meat and shark fin? No way? Boss, where did you get this? This stuff seems pretty rare, doesn't it?" Kang Xiaobo stared with wide eyes.

"Bought it at the market." Wei Zhao would never say he had killed the shark himself. That would be too shocking.

"Hehe, I knew you were good to me, Boss. I'll enjoy it with Xiaofen at noon, cackle cackle." Kang Xiaobo happily put the container away.

Zhong Yongliang was seething today. This Wei Zhao seemed sent by heaven to oppose him. Why was Wei Zhao always getting in his way whenever he tried to do anything?

Mooching a ride? Damn it, he could actually mooch a ride? This kid really had some nerve, mooching a ride in Gu Mengyao's car? And most infuriating of all, Gu Mengyao had actually agreed to let him ride along? Had she got it all wrong?

Of course, Zhong Yongliang would never believe there was anything between Wei Zhao and Gu Mengyao. First, Gu Mengyao could never fancy Wei Zhao. Second, Wei Zhao already had a girlfriend, and his girlfriend was Tang Yun, the commoner campus belle. Everyone in the whole school knew that, and Gu Mengyao could not possibly not know it.

So if there was any connection between the two, it could only be what Wei Zhao had called mooching a ride. But as for why Wei Zhao was mooching a ride, Zhong Yongliang really had no way to ask. Ask Gu Mengyao, and Gu Mengyao would not bother with him. Ask Wei Zhao, and wouldn't that just be asking for a beating?

"Brother Liang, what's wrong? Why do you look so glum?" Gao Xiaofu asked carefully as he looked at the deeply wounded Zhong Yongliang. Now that Zhang Naipao was gone, he had become Zhong Yongliang's only lackey.

Zhong Yongliang was having a hard time now, and Gao Xiaofu's days were no better. Once they had swaggered and thrown their weight around, and no one dared provoke them. Now they had to tread carefully, terrified of offending Wei Zhao, that great god, and getting beaten up again.

How were they supposed to go on living like this?

"Who else but that bastard Wei Zhao? That bastard wanted... This morning I wanted to go chat up Gu Mengyao, but that kid just happened to show up there and drove me away." Zhong Yongliang was furious, yet he did not dare speak too loudly.

The moment he heard Wei Zhao was the cause, Gao Xiaofu wilted too. "Brother Liang, we are short on men and power now, and we are no match for him either way. This really needs long-term planning. If nothing else, let's endure it for now, endure until we graduate high school and get to college. I refuse to believe that kid Wei Zhao will still be with us then."

"Forget it, let's not mention him for now." Zhong Yongliang did not much want to bring up Wei Zhao, the man who had hurt him so badly. "The key question now is, how can I move Gu Mengyao? She doesn't seem to feel anything for me. I ask myself, haven't I already done well enough? Why isn't she moved?"

"Well..." Gao Xiaofu hesitated a moment, then said, "Brother Liang, Gu Mengyao is no ordinary person, and her family background is excellent too. So ordinary methods, I think, probably won't work on her. If you want to move her, you will have to use something a little special."

"What would that be? Xiaofu, do you have any good ideas?" Zhong Yongliang's eyes lit up, as if he felt Gao Xiaofu had a point.

"Well... I read a book a few days ago, and in it the hero wrote a blood letter when he was chasing his girlfriend, written in his own fresh blood. After the heroine saw it, she was moved to pieces, and then she became his girlfriend. I think that method is pretty powerful. Brother Liang, if you have the guts, you might use it as a reference."

"Write a blood letter? That is actually a good idea." Zhong Yongliang thought it over and nodded. "It really is something that moves people. I think if I were Gu Mengyao, I would definitely be moved by my sincerity."

"Yes, Brother Liang, if you add a few powerful lines, I think once Gu Mengyao's heart is stirred, she will agree to you." Gao Xiaofu nodded.

"Good, I understand. Do this, when class ends in a bit, go spread the news that I am going to write a blood letter to Gu Mengyao. Let it get around the classroom and build some momentum for me first." Zhong Yongliang said. "That will show my sincerity even more."

"No problem." Gao Xiaofu nodded. Asking him to go up against Wei Zhao, he would not dare, but asking him to handle other business in the class, Gao Xiaofu knew the ropes perfectly.

So when the first period ended, with Gao Xiaofu deliberately playing it up, word began to spread through the classroom: Gu Mengyao's die-hard admirer Zhong Yongliang was preparing to write a blood letter to declare his love.

What sensational and romantic news that was! On campus, in the dull life of senior year, with nothing but tests and review for exams every day, the tiniest matter could stir up a ripple...

Of course, this ripple rose fast and ended fast, because most classmates were only after a moment of novelty, just for fun, to clear their heads and relax amid tense studying, before throwing themselves back into the sea of questions.

Just like before, when Wei Zhao beat up Brother Black Panther, when Wei Zhao passed a love letter to Tang Yun, when Wei Zhao slapped Zou Ruoming in front of the dean, those stories spread fast but faded fast too.

After a few days, no one paid attention to them anymore.

And Zhong Yongliang's blood letter affair lasted only two breaks before no one mentioned it again... Perhaps when he handed the blood letter to Gu Mengyao, it might draw people's attention once more?

Gu Mengyao was a little angry. Writing her a blood letter? What did that mean, trying to frighten her? So what if it was a blood letter? Did writing a blood letter mean she had to say yes to him?

"Xiaoshu, tell me how outrageous this Zhong Yongliang is, actually wanting to write me a blood letter. Do you think he is threatening me?" Gu Mengyao said angrily. "What's so great about shedding a little blood?"

"Yeah, Yaoyao Sis and I bleed every month. Nothing great about that." Shen Yushu nodded.

"..." Gu Mengyao looked at her best friend and really wanted to pry open her head to see how her brain was put together. Wasn't that associative power a bit too strong? She could actually connect Zhong Yongliang's blood letter to a period...
