Chapter 16 — Caught in the Act
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao was rather helpless. Why was Shen Yushu giving him orders too? Wasn't the one he was serving Gu Mengyao? So he said, "Miss Chen, I was sent by Mr. Gu to accompany Miss Gu in her studies, not to be a nanny..."
"What's the difference? In the old society, a study companion was a page boy, a servant of the household, only a notch or so above a common footman. Whatever the young miss tells you to do, you do." Shen Yushu glared, speaking with perfect assurance.
"But... I'm Gu Mengyao's page boy..." Though Wei Zhao was long accustomed to cooking, he still ought to have his position made clear, oughtn't he? And though this Gu Mengyao smiled in a flirtatious, alluring way, Wei Zhao was no fool; if Gu Mengyao woke up in a moment and saw him cooking for Shen Yushu, wouldn't she find fault with him?
"What's the difference? Yao-yao and I are good friends; what I say is what she says..." Gu Mengyao saw that Wei Zhao still had not moved after she finished speaking, and grew annoyed. She had rather liked this Wei Zhao at first, but who knew he would be so blind to what was expected of him. Any other man would be eager to serve her and she would not even bother with him; this one, of all things, was putting on airs. She gave a cold snort. "Forget it. Go turn on the water dispenser for me; I'll just have instant noodles myself."
"Oh." This was a small favor. The water dispenser was right beside Wei Zhao, by the windowsill, so he reached out and flipped the switch.
While the water heated, Shen Yushu casually picked up the remote from the sofa and pressed the power button. Every morning at this hour, the entertainment channel ran a special of music videos by the big star Xu Shilan, and Shen Yushu watched it whenever she had the time.
"Wait—" Wei Zhao was alarmed and wanted to stop her, but it was already too late. The television flickered, and the porn channel he had been watching appeared. By now that girl called Hamasaki or whatever had finished the foreplay and was battling wildly with a hunky man...
"Ah—ah—" Shen Yushu cried out and clapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes wide, glaring at Wei Zhao with a murderous look...
"Uh..." At this moment Wei Zhao wished he could die. What kind of game was this? Was this any way to treat a man? He had barely watched a few glances before he was caught in the act; how unlucky could he be? If he had at least gotten a good eyeful, he would have accepted it, but what was this?
"It wasn't me..." Wei Zhao wanted to tough it out and refuse to admit it, so he said instinctively.
"Wei Zhao, you actually watch such filthy things!" Shen Yushu was about to explode with rage. This Wei Zhao was really too despicable, wasn't he? No wonder he had gotten up so early in the morning; he had come out to the living room to sneak a look at porn.
"I told you, it wasn't me..." Wei Zhao said innocently. He had stumbled onto this channel by accident in the first place. If you don't want people to watch it, then don't put the channel there; leaving it there is practically inviting people to watch, isn't it?
"Who would believe that? If it wasn't you, then was it Yao-yao and me? Last night we left the TV off on the children's channel," Shen Yushu said sternly and with certainty. "Besides, we were afraid that when we changed channels we might accidentally land on this one, so we put a password on the channel. If you don't enter the password, how did you get in?"
