Chapter 24 — No Longer Pure
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Gu Mengyao was about to lose her mind. What the hell was going on? Hadn't Zhong Yongliang said nobody would be using the bathroom at this hour? Then what was Wei Zhao doing in there? Pressing both hands over her eyes, she shouted "Pervert!" and sprinted away.
As for Shen Yushu, although she also let out a shriek, she did not cover her eyes. Instead, she stole two more curious glances before running off after Gu Mengyao, muttering to herself as she went: "A man's thing really is just like the books say — it can swell up and shrink. This morning it looked so stiff and huge from outside, but now it's shrunk a lot. So bizarre."
"Xiao Shu, what are you talking about?" Gu Mengyao caught Shen Yushu's muttering and asked, not quite understanding.
"Nothing..." Shen Yushu blushed. If Gu Mengyao had heard what she just said, she would have lost all face.
"I can't take it. I'm going to have a breakdown." Gu Mengyao ran all the way back to the classroom without stopping, panting heavily. "How could that thing do this to me? How could it reveal something so disgusting right in front of me? I'm done for. I'm ruined. I'm not pure anymore."
Shen Yushu curled her lip and thought: If one glance makes you impure, then I had two looks — wouldn't that make me a slut? It's not like looking kills anyone. The unlucky one is Wei Zhao, the fellow who got stared at. With that in mind, she tried to console her: "Yaoyao, that's the men's bathroom, okay? We're the ones who went peeking."
"Ah." Gu Mengyao thought it over. Indeed, that was true. The man was just using the men's bathroom; he hadn't done anything wrong. The one at fault was her, for going to peek. She frowned, then suddenly thought of a point: "Oh, right — you're the one who dragged me there."
"No I didn't! Wasn't it that jerk Zhong Yongliang saying nobody would be using the bathroom at this hour, and calling us to come?" Shen Yushu, of course, pushed every bit of blame off herself and shoved Zhong Yongliang forward as the scapegoat.
"Ugh." Gu Mengyao sighed and had no choice but to chalk it up to bad luck. Though she felt her psyche had been gravely traumatized, having never seen such a foul sight in all her life, there was nothing she could do about it. Just as with yesterday, when she'd drunk from the cup Wei Zhao had used — she could hardly blame anyone else for that.
In any case, there was no way she was letting this Wei Zhao stay in her house. Her life had been perfectly peaceful before; nothing had gone right since this creature showed up. In just two days she had already become impure — not only had she lost her first kiss, her eyes had seen something that should never be seen. If she let him stay for two whole months, who knew what other consequences might follow.
Gu Mengyao decided that when Daddy came home from his business trip, she would speak to him in person. Even if she had to pay this bastard a penalty to break the contract, she could not keep him by her side any longer. He was just too dangerous.
Wei Zhao was not bothered by Zhong Yongliang's scream; in fact, it only made him feel better. What startled him badly were the screams from Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
"What the hell are these two girls doing running into the men's bathroom?" Wei Zhao frowned at the thought. "They peek at me while I'm taking a leak and then scream — they've got no peeping skills at all."
"Peeping calls for discretion. If you scare the person you're spying on, then it's not peeping anymore."
Wei Zhao pulled his pants up and swaggered toward the door.
"You're not going anywhere!" Zhang Naipao and Gao Xiaofu suddenly blocked Wei Zhao's path.
"Your boss is in that kind of state. I'd advise you to take him away and get him changed as fast as possible. In a minute all the students out for the exercises will be back, and if they see him like this, he'll lose all his face." Wei Zhao glanced at Zhong Yongliang, who was lying in a puddle of urine and groaning, and twisted his mouth.
