Chapter 143 — They've Come Knocking at the Door
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao's mischievous streak stirred, and he composed a text: "Went to the police station this morning. About Xiaohei."
But this text was not sent to Shen Yushu. It was sent to Gu Mengyao.
After Shen Yushu sent her message and Wei Zhao received it, Gu Mengyao stared fixedly at Shen Yushu's phone. But after waiting a long while, Shen Yushu's phone showed no reaction at all; her own phone, however, buzzed twice.
Gu Mengyao took out her phone, puzzled, and found it was a text message. She had assumed it was spam, some swindler after her money, but when she opened it, her face immediately darkened.
The message was actually from Wei Zhao — and he was actually telling her his whereabouts...
Was Wei Zhao ever so obedient as to report his whereabouts to her on his own? Of course Gu Mengyao didn't believe Wei Zhao was that kind of person, so there could be only one explanation... which was... Shen Yushu's earlier message had been tampered with. Otherwise, why would Wei Zhao not reply to her message, but reply to Gu Mengyao's instead?
"Xiaoshu." Gu Mengyao held the phone up in front of Shen Yushu's eyes: "What's going on here?"
"Uh... I don't know either?" Shen Yushu blinked innocently, like a little loli who understood nothing at all.
"Let me see your phone." Gu Mengyao stopped questioning her. She and Shen Yushu had played together since childhood; she knew her temperament inside out. When she put on that innocent act, she could pass for an actress.
"My phone... what's there to see..." Shen Yushu pretended not to understand: "Didn't we buy them together...? Have you forgotten? That time we went shopping, there was a China Mobile outlet running a promotion, and the poster was recommending Yu Ren Er Dai's 'Very Pure, Very Ambiguous: The Prequel'. We thought it looked fun, so we went in, and then we joined a promotion where you pay for phone credit and get a free phone..."
"Xiaoshu." Gu Mengyao heard her rambling on and on, off into the weeds entirely, and glared at her in anger: "Don't change the subject. Give me the phone."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu was actually rather afraid of Gu Mengyao. Once she got angry, Shen Yushu didn't dare make mischief, and obediently handed over the phone.
Gu Mengyao snatched it and, among the sent messages, found the one Shen Yushu had just sent. She was so angry her nose went crooked: "Xiaoshu, why did you send it to me?"
"Didn't you tell me to ask..." Shen Yushu still looked innocent.
"You..." Gu Mengyao was speechless. It was true she had told her to ask, but who asks like that? No, wait — hadn't she just said "suit yourself"?
"Xiaoshu, when did I tell you to ask? What I said was suit yourself." Gu Mengyao said angrily: "Aren't you treating a chicken feather like a general's arrow token?"
"Oh, then I'll text Arrow Brand Bro back and explain, say it was my own idea and has nothing to do with you..." Shen Yushu said.
"Forget it, I might as well say it myself..." Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a look, picked up her phone, and replied: "You don't need to report to me where you go, but be careful about fooling around with girls — they've already come knocking at the door."
