...
Zou Ruoming was shaken just as badly. At the sight of Brother Black Panther, that ghastly wreck neither dead nor alive, neither man nor ghost, Zou Ruoming decided he would keep his distance from that monster Wei Zhao from now on. That thing was a lunatic, and Zou Ruoming had no wish to die young.
It was galling, of course. As the number two power in the school, to be afraid of a transfer student would cost him face if word got out. But Zou Ruoming told himself that he and Wei Zhao had always kept to their own sides of the river. As long as he did not go looking for trouble, it should not splash back on him.
At that thought, Zou Ruoming felt a secret glee. That Zhong Yongliang had nothing better to do than provoke some transfer student. He had not even checked the guy's background before picking a fight. He was simply tired of living.
"Hey, Yao Yao, do you think Wei Zhao will be all right? That Qiu Lingshan looked so overbearing, like she was deliberately out to make trouble for him," Shen Yushu whispered to Gu Mengyao, who was flipping through her English book.
"Who cares. It would be even better if they lock him up and sentence him, so he will stop pestering me." Gu Mengyao snorted. "Then my daddy can save on his salary too."
"You really do not care about him?" Shen Yushu looked at Gu Mengyao with a half smile.
"Xiao Shu, what is that look for?" Gu Mengyao frowned. "Why should I care about him? Enough about him. I still have to review my lessons."
"Oh, all right..." Shen Yushu smiled brightly and pointed at the English textbook in Gu Mengyao's hands, then said, "Sister Yao Yao, you are holding your English book upside down. You were staring at it for so long just now. That is really impressive."
"Ah!" Gu Mengyao flushed red. She glanced at the book in her hands, snapped it shut in a flustered hurry, shot a look at Shen Yushu beside her, then opened it again. Pouting, she said, "Fine, I just do not want him to get into trouble because of me. After all, this whole thing started with me. I am the one who told him to go after Zhong Yongliang. I already called Uncle Qing. He will take care of it."
"Hehe..." Shen Yushu smiled, but her expression was plainly full of doubt.
Gu Mengyao squirmed a little under Shen Yushu's smile. She shrank back, still uncomfortable, always feeling Shen Yushu's burning gaze fixed on her. Then, however, a thought struck her. "Speaking of which, classmate Xiao Shu, you seem even more worried about Wei Zhao than I am. Are you falling for him?"
"Me? Yes, I like him. So what?" Shen Yushu grinned at Gu Mengyao, not treating it as anything shameful at all. Hearing that Gu Mengyao had already contacted Uncle Qing, Shen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew well enough what Uncle Qing could do in Songshan City. She had been about to call her own grandfather...
"Huh?" Gu Mengyao's mouth fell open in shock as she stared at Shen Yushu in disbelief. "You... you like him?"
"Ha, I like him, so why are you getting so worked up? You can barely get your words out. Are you jealous?" Shen Yushu burst into giggles at the sight of her.
"What would I be jealous of? If you like him, then go chase him. I bet that kid will be so thrilled his snot will bubble with joy." Gu Mengyao put on a look of total indifference.
"Fine, then I will go after him. Just do not regret it later." Shen Yushu, however, spoke with a perfectly serious face.
"Who would regret it, haha..." Gu Mengyao shook her head as if she could not care less. Yet the moment the words left her mouth, her heart gave an uneasy twinge. She did not know why, but the feeling left her strangely unsettled.
"I was only teasing you, haha." Seeing she had failed to get a rise out of Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu found it boring and dropped it. "I just cannot stand Qiu Lingshan. If she wants to touch one of ours, no way."
