Chapter 9 — General Mighty
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Hearing Shen Yushu's suggestion, Gu Mengyao felt it was the only way, and nodded reluctantly. "Fine, we will do it that way then."
Shen Yushu often stayed over with Gu Mengyao, so she walked in as if she knew the place by heart. Wei Zhao, lugging his baggage, trailed slowly behind.
Wei Zhao could naturally see Gu Mengyao's hostility toward him, but when he thought of the old man's solemn instructions when he left home, and of Uncle Chu's trusting eyes, he did not take it to heart. After all, Gu Mengyao was a girl, so it was only natural that she did not wish to live with him.
"Hey, what is your name?" Gu Mengyao sat on the sofa, stretching her long slender legs onto the chaise lounge, and asked as she looked at Wei Zhao.
"My name is Lin..." Wei Zhao spoke as he moved to sit on the sofa. He had stood at the door for ages and was tired enough, but before his backside could touch the cushions, a sharp cry rang out and gave him a terrible fright.
"Stop! Do not sit!" Gu Mengyao shouted, her eyes wide as she pointed at Wei Zhao.
"What is wrong?" Wei Zhao jumped, his backside suspended in midair as he asked in bewilderment.
"Your trousers are so dirty. Do not dirty my sofa. Xiaoshu is always lying on it naked." Gu Mengyao said with a frown.
Shen Yushu rolled her eyes in exasperation, thinking, Yaoyao, how can you be like this? Just now you told me to watch my words before an outsider, and now you are saying such things yourself.
Wei Zhao was not angry. His clothes were indeed none too clean. He had sat on the train for half the day and rushed about covered in dust for most of the day. Dirtying the sofa was a small matter, but if he gave this pretty young lady some skin ailment, that would be the end of him.
"All right, you may go on." Gu Mengyao said, relieved to see Wei Zhao stand back up.
"My name is Wei Zhao." Wei Zhao said.
"Good, Wei Zhao, at night you will sleep in the guest room over there, but remember, upstairs are Xiaoshu's and my rooms. You are not allowed up there, or I will have Daddy dismiss you at once." Even Gu Mengyao herself did not sound very confident as she said this. For some reason, she always felt her father had been bewitched by this Wei Zhao, so she had to add, "If you dare come up, I will have General Mighty bite you to death!"
"Oh." Wei Zhao nodded indifferently, but puzzled by the second half of her threat, he asked, "General Mighty? What is that?"
Hearing his question, Gu Mengyao called triumphantly upstairs, "General Mighty, come down!"
"Woof! Woof!" A burst of barking came, and a fierce Rottweiler dashed down from upstairs, planting itself beside Gu Mengyao with a menacing glare and fixing Wei Zhao with a wary stare.
