Chapter 135 — Who Is Pestering Whom? Did She Really Think That After She Gave Him a Good Scolding He Would Straighten Out and Give Up on His Designs on Her?

But that should have been impossible. The key question was this: how had Wei Zhao ended up on a bus? Did he not have a private car and driver to ferry him about?
"You... are you deliberately riding the same bus as me?" Tang Yun voiced the doubt in her heart.
"Deliberately?" Wei Zhao smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose. "I got on first. How was I supposed to know you would board in the shantytown? Can I see the future?"
Hey, now that she mentioned it—Wei Zhao unconsciously touched the jade pendant at his chest again. He really could predict things... only the predictions were not much use. He never knew what exactly they meant. What could he do? He could not read the signal. He had no idea what on earth the jade pendant was trying to tell him.
Hearing his answer, Tang Yun was slightly taken aback. Yes—she had boarded after him. How could he possibly have known she would get on? Even if he knew she took Bus No. 87, there was no way he could have landed on the same bus by such coincidence. Besides, today she had been delayed a while in shaking off that little rogue's pestering...
Could it be that the little rogue had been hired by Wei Zhao, deliberately stalling for time, working with him to stage a fine scene of the hero saving the beauty? The moment the thought arose, Tang Yun herself found it laughable. It was plain that Wei Zhao was not such a bored person; the fellow was arrogant and would surely disdain such tricks. And that little rogue had been pestering her for a long time—back when Wei Zhao had not even transferred to the school. The possibility was next to nothing.
"Oh..." Tang Yun nodded, more or less accepting Wei Zhao's explanation. The two of them really had just run into each other by chance.
"Is there something else you need?" Wei Zhao saw Tang Yun standing before him, showing no sign of leaving, and could not tell what she wanted.
Tang Yun was stunned. She stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief, her mouth falling slightly open. "You're not going to... come after me?"
In her heart Tang Yun was still somewhat afraid of Wei Zhao. On the bus he had shielded her the whole way; now that they had gotten off, she had no idea whether he would keep pestering her—yet never had she expected him to ask whether she had anything else to do.
"What would I come after you for?" Wei Zhao was startled too, then smiled bitterly. "Say two more words and you'll be late..."
"Ah!" Tang Yun glanced at her watch, stamped her foot in anger, shot Wei Zhao a resentful glare, and ran off quickly toward the school... Her face, though, burned red as a sunset cloud. What he had just said made it sound as if she were the one pestering him! Was she not staying because she was afraid?
The faint good impression of Wei Zhao she had formed on the bus vanished without a trace, leaving only boundless annoyance.
Watching Tang Yun's ponytail sway in the wind, Wei Zhao smiled faintly. Youth—how wonderful it was!
Tang Yun ran breathlessly to the school gate and nearly collided head-on with someone just coming out. She hurriedly dodged aside—and saw that the person emerging was Zou Ruoming!
"Damn it all, who walks around without eyes? Nearly ran into me!" Zou Ruoming cursed on impulse. But once he had cursed, he got a clear look at Tang Yun standing by the gate, somewhat flustered, and his face broke into a grin at once. "Yunyun, my apologies, I thought it was someone else. Had I known it was you, I'd have welcomed you to bump into me! How about it—shall we bump?"
Hearing Zou Ruoming's indecent lewd talk, Tang Yun's face darkened. "Zou Ruoming, don't talk nonsense."
"Hey, what nonsense? I'm not talking nonsense!" Zou Ruoming's face was full of lecherous smiles. Usually, with so many people around, he would not go too far at school; but the bell time had passed and no one was coming or going at the gate, so Zou Ruoming could not quite hold himself back. "Yunyun, have you thought it over? Be my girl?"
