Chapter 211 — Xiaoshu Confesses
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 2
Suddenly hearing Gu Mengyao cough, Shen Yushu snapped back to her senses and looked at Gu Mengyao sheepishly: "I... Sister Yaoyao! I've finished confessing, so this matter is over. You're not allowed to bring it up again!"
"Wei Zhao, don't you have anything to say?" Gu Mengyao was curious. Wei Zhao had been so worked up a moment ago—how had he gone back to normal in the blink of an eye?
"Say what?" Wei Zhao sat there looking at Gu Mengyao. "I did say something. She confessed, I accepted."
"As simple as that? Then why aren't you excited?" Gu Mengyao was taken aback.
"Excited about what? Who knows if she meant it." Wei Zhao shrugged. "She's always carrying on like a lunatic."
"Uh..." Gu Mengyao opened her mouth, but still said nothing... Wei Zhao knew Shen Yushu's confession was just a farce?
That disappointed Gu Mengyao somewhat, and yet—secretly, faintly—gladdened her... So Wei Zhao hadn't been accepting Xiaoshu's confession after all? Gu Mengyao felt her emotions were in complete disarray now, and that she was unfit to stay here any longer. She had to go back to her room and calm down!
"Xiaoshu, come with me!" Gu Mengyao pulled Shen Yushu up and headed for the second floor, leaving Wei Zhao in the dining room without a second thought...
Shen Yushu turned back and made a face at Wei Zhao, as if the confession had never happened at all.
Wei Zhao smiled. What were these two girls up to?
He put away the leftover saury and the small side dish, planning to make something like saury stewed with potatoes in the morning, and then went back to his room. He had been prepared for Shen Yushu's confession, so he didn't think much of it.
Gu Mengyao, though, once upstairs, found herself fretting over gains and losses... If it hadn't been Xiaoshu who got stuck today, but herself who lost—would she have gone and confessed? And if it had been her, would Wei Zhao have taken it seriously?
She wasn't like Xiaoshu, who never spoke or acted reliably. Wei Zhao might well have believed her... At that thought, Gu Mengyao suddenly felt a secret vexation at her own cleverness today. If only she had hidden in Wei Zhao's room and let Xiaoshu find her...
But why would she confess to Wei Zhao? She didn't even like him. Suddenly Gu Mengyao caught herself on that point, so she shook her head and shook away all those muddled thoughts.
"Sister Yaoyao, what are you doing..." Shen Yushu had followed Gu Mengyao up to the second floor, baffled by her reaction.
"Xiaoshu, why didn't he believe your confession?" Gu Mengyao didn't even know what she was saying; her feelings were simply a mess.
"Oh, maybe because people never quite believe what I say..." Shen Yushu scratched her little head. "I'm always doing silly things?"
"Maybe so..." Gu Mengyao nodded. "All right, Xiaoshu, I'm sorry. I went too far today. I really shouldn't have forced you to confess to Wei Zhao... It's bad for your reputation. Lucky Wei Zhao didn't believe it, or how would you ever find a boyfriend?"
"Uh..."
