護花近衛 - 第127章 唐韻哭了 - 墨香閣

Could those words really have come from Director Wang? Had he not always loathed any closeness between boys and girls? Why was today so different...

Ah, Tang Yun gave a soft sigh. Was all of this only because of who Wei Zhao was?

She walked back to her classroom in a daze and did nothing else, only settling into her own seat and quietly turning over everything that had happened these past few days, her heart knotted with irritation... She had no idea whether Wei Zhao truly liked her or not!

She secretly raised her head and looked out through the window set in the classroom wall, and saw Wei Zhao and Wang Zhifeng chatting away like old friends. Tang Yun curled her lip. If you were not some rich young master, would he even give you the time of day?

Toward Wei Zhao, Tang Yun felt both fear and anger in her heart. If he cared about keeping up appearances, that was still manageable, and she could throw a little temper before him and make things difficult for him... But if one day he threw all restraint aside, what might he do? Tang Yun did not dare to imagine it.

She had heard plenty about those reckless young masters who answered to no one. If the discipline at Songshan No.1 High School had not been so strict, she feared she herself could hardly have escaped calamity! Fortunately, Songshan No.1 High School was a star private school in the city and even in the province, its promotion rate always among the very best, and the backgrounds of its board members beyond reach. Wild and unruly as those young masters were, they did not dare go too far inside the school, for no matter their connections, the school would expel them without mercy.

She thought of the playmate from childhood, her closest girlhood friend, now crippled in both legs and sitting gloomily at home day after day... Once, just like her, that girl had been full of dreams and hopes for the future, but now... People say the children of poor families grow up early, and Tang Yun was even more so. She was not ignorant of the cold warmth of human feeling, and what had happened to her father had taught her all too well how weak and helpless her family was. Yet Tang Yun did not believe that even if she let those young masters have their way with her, they would pity her and lend her family a hand... Had not her best friend's boyfriend once said the same, promising to lift her family out of poverty and move them out of the shantytown, even boasting before Tang Yun that he would take care of the Tang family's troubles as well? But what came of it in the end?

Without quite realizing it, little Tang Yun had grown wary and guarded toward young masters like Wei Zhao. Perhaps it was because she feared Wei Zhao too much that she made such extreme moves to protect herself, yet Tang Yun also understood clearly that if one day Wei Zhao cast off his disguise, her petty tricks would do nothing to him at all, and would only provoke him instead...

Thinking of this, Tang Yun half regretted why she had ever provoked him, even going so far as to step on his foot. If he ever lost patience... Her mind was in chaos until suddenly she heard a tapping at the window beside her ear. It startled her, and she looked up in panic toward the outside of the window, only to find Wei Zhao standing there with his hand still on the glass. Clearly it was he who had knocked.

"You... What are you doing?" Tang Yun was frightened, for she had just been wondering whether Wei Zhao might cast aside all decency and force himself upon her, and there he was.

Wei Zhao pointed at the plastic-steel handle on the window. Though he could tell from the shape of Tang Yun's lips what she was saying, she certainly could not hear a word he said, for the soundproofing of the plastic-steel window was excellent.

"Oh..." Only then did Tang Yun realize the window was shut, and that Wei Zhao certainly could not hear her. Trembling, she opened the window.
