護花近衛 - 第30章 以暴制暴 - 墨香閣

"I'm not going." The moment Gu Mengyao heard Wei Zhao's name, the blushing scene from the morning flashed back into her mind. She frowned and kept her eyes on the English book in her hands, since she still had not memorized today's words.

"Come on," Shen Yushu was itching with curiosity. "There's nothing going on right now anyway."

"Go yourself if you want to go, I'm not going," Gu Mengyao said with a snort. "Xiao Shu, are you lovesick or something? Have you fallen for that country bumpkin?"

"Nonsense!" Shen Yushu flushed red and shot back. "Who would fall for him? I just want to go watch the excitement."

"Then go by yourself. I'm definitely not going anyway," Gu Mengyao said firmly.

"Come on, Sister Yaoyao, he is your study companion after all. To beat a dog you still have to respect its master. If Wei Zhao gets beaten up, you will lose face too," Shen Yushu clearly refused to give up and kept coaxing Gu Mengyao.

"Xiao Shu, why are you so annoying?" Gu Mengyao was so pestered she could not even read her book. "Fine, fine. I'll go have a look with you."

"Hee hee... let's go!" Shen Yushu grabbed Gu Mengyao's hand in high spirits, and the two ran off toward the rooftop together. "I hope we don't miss the best part!"

On the rooftop, Zhong Yongliang, Zhang Naipao and Gao Xiaofu were grinning wickedly and rubbing their fists together. Zhong Yongliang coolly held a cigarette between his lips, and the quick-eyed Gao Xiaofu snapped a lighter with a click and lit it for him.

Zhong Yongliang took a deep, satisfied drag, then blew the smoke right into Wei Zhao's face. "Damn, weren't you so tough? Go on, pull your trick out again? Splash me again?"

"If you are looking for trouble over yesterday, then fine, I admit it was my fault," Wei Zhao said with a calm expression. "But what happened today has nothing to do with me."

"Oh? Now you know how to admit you were wrong?" Zhong Yongliang savored the feeling of his rival backing down, but said arrogantly, "Too late, though. And today has nothing to do with you? Are you stupid or what? Still running your mouth at a time like this?"

"There were so many empty urinals, what were you doing standing behind me? You didn't have to wait in line, did you?" Wei Zhao said deadpan.

"Enough of that useless crap. Admitting fault won't save you now. Xiao Fu, show him some color," Zhong Yongliang waved his hand and said to Gao Xiaofu.

"Hehe, here I come!" Gao Xiaofu cackled and pulled a chair leg from behind his back as he walked toward Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao still felt a little guilty about inexplicably kicking Zhong Yongliang yesterday, and had meant to find a chance to explain himself, but looking at things now there was no need. To deal with this kind of man, you had to fight violence with violence.

"Kid, of all the people to offend, you just had to offend Brother Liang. I think you really don't want to get by here anymore," Gao Xiaofu said as he raised the chair leg in his hand and smashed it down at Wei Zhao.

Zhong Yongliang smoked smugly to one side, feeling wonderfully pleased with himself. Let you mess with me, he thought. If I don't crack your skull open today, my name isn't Zhong.

Zhong Yongliang already seemed to picture blood spraying from Wei Zhao's forehead, and he licked his lips in excitement.

"Smack!" Gao Xiaofu swung the chair leg out, but Zhong Yongliang never got to see blood fly from Wei Zhao. Looking closer, he realized the chair leg had already been caught tight in Wei Zhao's hand.

Gao Xiaofu frowned and yanked hard at the chair leg, only to find it would not move at all. He grew anxious at once and had to put even more strength into his hands.

"Xiao Fu, what the hell are you doing?" Zhong Yongliang had no idea of Gao Xiaofu's struggle, and seeing the two locked there in a tug of war, he barked out the question.

"Brother Liang, this kid has some brute strength!" Gao Xiaofu said.
