Chapter 144 — Tracking the Little Spy
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao stared in astonishment at the text Gu Mengyao had sent back. The first part, "You don't need to report to me where you go," was nothing surprising to him. It was exactly Gu Mengyao's way of doing things, nothing unusual at all.
But the line after that, "Still, watch out for fooling around with others, someone has already come knocking," was baffling. What did watch out for fooling around mean? What someone coming knocking? Who had he flirted with or provoked? Who had come?
Puzzled, Wei Zhao sent a text back: "Who came looking for me?"
Looking at the message Wei Zhao sent back, Gu Mengyao frowned. Was this guy playing dumb, or did he really not know? For Tang Yun, the great campus beauty, to come looking for him, such a big thing, how could it be possible unless they had arranged it beforehand?
Yet that was only what Gu Mengyao imagined. Looked at from another angle, if they really had an appointment, Wei Zhao could not have failed to tell Tang Yun that he would not be at school in the morning, so the two of them really did not look like they had planned it in advance.
So Gu Mengyao could not say much more, and could only reply: "Tang Yun came looking for you several times. Did you know she was looking for you? Who is Xiaohei?"
Only after her anger had passed did Gu Mengyao remember to ask who the "Xiaohei" mentioned in Wei Zhao's text was. Why did it sound like a dog's name?
Tang Yun? Wei Zhao froze. Tang Yun had come to find him? Judging by how furious she had looked that morning, as if she would never bother with him again, would she really take the initiative to come find him now?
Wei Zhao knitted his brows, unable to figure out why Tang Yun wanted him, and sent Gu Mengyao another text: "Xiaohei? That's Black Panther. What did Tang Yun want with me for?"
Looking at Wei Zhao's text, Gu Mengyao could not help being amused. Xiaohei... was Black Panther? She had heard something of Black Panther's reputation. Before, Zhong Yongliang had bragged in class to the skies, about ruling heaven and earth, leading the streets, taking on ten men alone and the like. And such an awesome figure had been kicked to the ground by Wei Zhao and stomped until his face was out of shape...
Ha... Gu Mengyao smiled faintly, but Wei Zhao's question afterward, "What did Tang Yun want with me," annoyed her a little. Did he not know himself?
"How would I know? Your own trouble, you deal with it yourself." Gu Mengyao sent that back, then put her phone away inside her desk, ready for class.
"Yao-yao jie, what did Arrow Brand Bro say?" Shen Yushu asked after Gu Mengyao had put the phone into her desk.
"You were peeking from the side just now, did you think I didn't know?" Gu Mengyao was speechless at Shen Yushu's deliberate question.
"Hehe..." Shen Yushu looked a little embarrassed. "I thought you could figure it out..."
"Do you take me for a fortune-teller or some great immortal? Figure it out?" Gu Mengyao snorted. "Besides, why would I analyze him?"
"Oh." Seeing Gu Mengyao's sharp tone, Shen Yushu said no more and obediently got ready for class.
After class, Wei Zhao left the classroom and walked toward Class Nine, Senior Year Three, where Tang Yun was. Tang Yun had no phone, so he could not call or text her, he could only go find her in person.
Watching Wei Zhao's back as he walked out of the classroom, Gu Mengyao knew he must be going to find Tang Yun, though the thought left her feeling distinctly annoyed.
"Yao-yao jie, want me to tail him?" Shen Yushu started offering rotten ideas again.
"Give me a break." Gu Mengyao nearly blacked out, black lines all but popping over her head. "You tail him? Don't you know how formidable that kid is? Could you even tail him? If he catches you, he'll think I sent you."
"Oh, then I'll follow him openly and say I was just curious myself." Shen Yushu said breezily, not caring at all.
Gu Mengyao was truly at a loss for words. "Then go yourself, but whatever you do, don't say I told you to."
