Chapter 141 — A Little Bit of Liking? If the Liu family knew that, had they come a few minutes earlier, they would have seen the very person they had been searching for so desperately, who knows whether they would regret it? But there is no medicine for regret in this life, and the Liu family, having brushed right past the great physician Lin, had not yet realized a thing...

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had gone out during the break for some air, and the first thing they saw was Tang Yun. Gu Mengyao knew her: she was one of No. 1 High's campus beauties, ranked alongside herself and Xiao Shu, though she was a little more popular than the two of them, known as the commoner campus beauty.
Gu Mengyao did not mind such things, though. She did not care whether she was popular or not; she did not like those boys anyway, and it was better if they did not come bothering her.
Tang Yun was surprised too. She had not expected to run into the school's two other great campus beauties, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. She knew no one in Senior Class Five; apart from Wei Zhao, she had only heard of Zhong Yongliang's bad reputation. Seeing Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu now, she decided to ask them for help...
"Hello, could I trouble you with something?" Though Tang Yun was ranked alongside Gu Mengyao, that was only the outside world's assessment. In truth, before a heaven-favored girl like Gu Mengyao, Tang Yun still felt a great deal of pressure. Gu Mengyao was a princess; and she herself... was just a poor girl, a poor girl who happened to be a little prettier than most...
"Oh? What is it?" Gu Mengyao actually felt somewhat well-disposed toward Tang Yun. They were both beauties, after all, and pleasing to look at. Gu Mengyao herself was already outstanding in looks, so she was not about to go around doing the neurotic jealous thing over someone else's prettiness.
Seeing that Gu Mengyao had answered her so amiably, Tang Yun felt relieved. So Gu Mengyao was not as lofty and unapproachable as the rumors made her out to be...
"Could you help me find... Wei Zhao, in your class?" Tang Yun gritted her teeth and said Wei Zhao's name, a little embarrassed. A girl going on her own to another class to look for a boy was awkward, to say the least.
"Wei Zhao?" Gu Mengyao looked at the somewhat "shy" Tang Yun, and for some reason felt immediately uncomfortable. What was her relationship with Wei Zhao? How was it that this Wei Zhao had barely been at school a few days and had already hooked up with the commoner campus beauty Tang Yun?
Wasn't Qiu Lingshan and the tall girl from the commercial street enough? Now Tang Yun too?
Actually, Gu Mengyao had misunderstood. Tang Yun's shyness was not the kind of shyness she imagined; it was closer to shame and indignation.
Hearing Gu Mengyao's question, Tang Yun hurriedly nodded.
"Never heard of him." Gu Mengyao did not even know what had come over her. After those three words left her mouth, she stopped paying Tang Yun any attention and turned to walk away...
"Ah?" Tang Yun looked at Gu Mengyao, puzzled. What was going on? She had been perfectly fine a moment ago; why had she suddenly gotten angry?
Shen Yushu shrugged at Tang Yun and gave her a look that said there was nothing she could do, then hurried after Gu Mengyao. "Yao Yao, what's wrong? Are you jealous?"
"Jealous? I'm not." Gu Mengyao pursed her lips. Jealous? How could she possibly be jealous? Ridiculous, truly ridiculous, haha. But it really did hurt inside... like something that was clearly hers being coveted by someone else.
"Hehe, Yao Yao, have you started to like Arrow-Brand Bro?" Shen Yushu asked in a low voice.
"I have not," Gu Mengyao said firmly.
"Not even a little bit? Hmm?" Shen Yushu pressed on.
"No, Xiao Shu, why are you so gossipy?" Gu Mengyao said anxiously. "Say one more word and I won't talk to you."
"Hehe, then I won't say anything, so talk to me..." Shen Yushu shut her mouth, stole a glance at Gu Mengyao, and sighed inwardly. Yao Yao really did seem a little smitten?
