Chapter 339 — Nobody Loses Out

"Oh..." Shen Yushu lowered her hand from her eyes again, and only then did it register. She hurriedly snatched up the blanket from the sofa and covered herself with it. Her face was crimson, like a boiled crayfish.

"Er... the sunlight outside is too glaring, the room too dim, I was briefly blinded, I didn't see a thing..." Wei Zhao raised both hands in a show of innocence.

"Wei Zhao, the streetlights outside are already lit!" Gu Mengyao was not so easily fooled.

"Uh... actually, I got flustered and said it backwards! The lamp inside was too bright, the outside too dim, I was briefly blinded, I didn't see a thing..." Wei Zhao said awkwardly. "I'll go back to my room... I need a shower..."

"Stop right there! You've seen every last inch of Xiaoshu, so tell me, how do you plan to make it up to her?" Gu Mengyao had no intention of letting Wei Zhao off so easily. She felt aggrieved, deeply uncomfortable. It was Shen Yushu who had been looked at, so why did it hurt her so much?

"Uh... we'll talk about it after my shower!" Wei Zhao did not want to provoke Gu Mengyao just now; once she calmed down a little, she would forget the whole thing.

"Brother Arrow... rushing off to shower like that, are you going to go jerk off?" Shen Yushu suddenly spoke up in a tiny voice...

The air, taut as drawn blades, was scattered in an instant by that single sentence. Gu Mengyao was about to explode. Here I am, standing up for you, and look at the question you ask: "Xiaoshu, what nonsense are you talking?"

"I... I only wanted to check whether what the book says is true..." Shen Yushu stuck out her tongue, silently cursing her own loose mouth. Didn't the book say that when boys see certain stimulating scenes, they react, they get those kinds of thoughts... And Brother Arrow rushing back to his room to shower, he must have some indecent idea in mind.

"Xiaoshu, is there a screw loose in your head?" Gu Mengyao was going mad. "If you keep quiet, no one will take you for a mute!"

"Uh... I'll be off, then..." Wei Zhao was embarrassed by Shen Yushu as well. He wanted a shower because he had been out on the road for two days, dusty and travel-worn, his body filthy long since; yet Shen Yushu had mistaken it for some sordid act, and the one he was supposedly fantasizing about was, of all people, her...

"Wei Zhao, don't you dare! You are not allowed to make Xiaoshu the object of your filthy thoughts!" Gu Mengyao glared at Wei Zhao.

"I won't... I won't. I really am drenched in sweat; I simply want to take a shower. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to come and observe!" At the end of that, Wei Zhao could not help but chuckle.

"Rascal!" Gu Mengyao snorted. "As if anyone would want to look at you!"

Wei Zhao shot back to his room like a streak of smoke and let out a long breath... That scene just now had been far too thrilling. Why couldn't time have stopped? Who knew how long he would have to wait for the next time.

Of course, Wei Zhao could perfectly well sneak upstairs in the dead of night and peek without anyone the wiser; the Mighty General was nothing but an ornament. But that would be utterly contemptible, and Wei Zhao disdained to do it.

If he was going to look, then naturally he would look openly and honorably. Even if Shen Yushu had not offered herself to his view, a few more accidents like this would still leave Wei Zhao feeling rather pleased...

"Xiaoshu, just look at you. A girl like you, seen all over by a man, how will you ever marry?" Gu Mengyao said, somewhat at a loss, after Wei Zhao had gone.

"Brother Arrow isn't an outsider, though. He's even kissed me..." Thinking back on the scene just now, Shen Yushu blushed as well.

"Kissed you?" Gu Mengyao was startled, discovering something she had not known. "When did he kiss you?"

Before this, she knew only that Wei Zhao had squeezed Shen Yushu's breasts; she had no idea he had kissed her too. What other secrets were these two keeping from her?

Shen Yushu also realized she had let something slip, and it was too late to take it back, so she covered it over: "No, it's not like that... actually, it was the time I fell into the water. Brother Arrow was afraid I would choke, so he pressed his mouth to mine..."

"You... why didn't you say so earlier?" Gu Mengyao was beside herself with anger. "Xiaoshu, you're a girl, and he's kissed you, groped you, looked at you. What are you going to do from now on? No, we have to make him take responsibility!"

"It's not that serious, surely..." Hearing Gu Mengyao's words, Shen Yushu was startled too. Without her even noticing, Wei Zhao had taken so many liberties with her?

"How is it not serious? No, I have to tell Daddy about this. He can't be allowed to stay here any longer, it's far too dangerous!" Gu Mengyao's words did not quite match her heart; her mind was all in a tangle.

"That's enough, Yaoyao-jie. We haven't really lost anything either. When Brother Arrow went to the toilet at school, didn't we see him too..." Shen Yushu said with perfect solemnity. "By my reckoning, we're even. He came out the loser too..."

"That counts as him losing out?" Gu Mengyao was speechless. Her friend's way of thinking simply could not be measured by common sense.

Still, Gu Mengyao found it strange. The old Xiaoshu had never been one to let herself be shortchanged. If she had told her brother Chen Yutian about this, he would have come storming over long ago to string Wei Zhao up and beat him...

But could Chen Yutian beat Wei Zhao? In Gu Mengyao's former impression, Chen Yutian was very formidable; apart from Qiu Lingshan, whom he could not best, he had taught everyone else a lesson and left them meek and submissive...

Yet from what Xiaoshu said, even Qiu Lingshan was kept firmly in hand by Wei Zhao. She had used her own phone to photograph Shen Yushu playing in the mud, and then had to send them back to Wei Zhao... Was that the sort of thing that girl Qiu Lingshan would have done before?

"How about... while he's in the shower, we sneak a look back at him?" Shen Yushu put forward a rather tempting suggestion.

To say Gu Mengyao was not curious would be impossible. But curiosity was one thing; if they ran off to watch Wei Zhao bathe, wouldn't they be a pair of perverts? So Gu Mengyao firmly refused Shen Yushu's proposal: "Xiaoshu, you seem to be getting more and more open-minded, and that is not a good sign! This is the first symptom of a girl turning into a ***!"

"Ah! Is it that serious?" Shen Yushu was startled as well, and then her face flushed faintly. She truly did not reject Wei Zhao. After he had touched her, held her, kissed her, apart from her heart beating very fast, she felt not a trace of complaint. Shen Yushu did not know whether that counted as having feelings for him, but hearing Gu Mengyao put it that way, it really did seem rather serious...

"Yes, very serious! So if you don't like Wei Zhao and don't want to marry him in the future, you had better keep your distance from him!" Gu Mengyao warned her solemnly.

"Oh. Then Yaoyao-jie, do you want to marry him?" Shen Yushu nodded and asked in return.
