Chapter 239 — The Girl Under the Shade of the Trees
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After all, Wei Zhao was still, at heart, an eighteen-year-old boy. Thrown into the world where an eighteen-year-old ought to live, he found it fresh and hard to leave behind. That long-distant precocious maturity had already been buried deep in his heart...
Wei Zhao hurried toward the small grove at the edge of the sports field. Beneath the dappled shade stood a breathtakingly beautiful girl, bright with a touch of charm. A light breeze brushed her skirt, giving her quite the look of a heroine from a school manga.
Seeing Wei Zhao run over, the corners of the girl's mouth curved into a lovely arc, and then, a little shyly, she lowered her head.
Wei Zhao ran up before her. "Tang Yun, have you been here long? That fellow Kang Xiaobo kept pestering me and made me late."
"I just arrived too..." Tang Yun shook her head slightly, drew in a breath, and brought both hands out from behind her back, holding them toward him. "Your clothes. I already washed them yesterday..."
"Ha..." Wei Zhao had not expected Tang Yun had called him out to return his school uniform. "Why wash it? It was not dirty after you wore it, and it still carried your scent..."
"You are not allowed to say that..." Tang Yun raised her fist, blushing a little, and made as if to hit Wei Zhao. "Why are you never serious? I am leaving..."
"Let's go back together. I have to head back too." Wei Zhao pointed in the direction of the teaching building. Indeed, if the two of them were leaving, they would be going the same way.
Tang Yun hesitated faintly and said nothing, but she lightly stepped forward. Wei Zhao followed quietly at her side. There were not many people on the sports field, but there were some, and they had long heard rumors of the pair's 'romance.' They had not quite believed it before, but seeing them walk together now, they could not help thinking the earlier 'love letter incident' might be true.
The crowd sighed and marveled, yet none dared draw near! What sort of existence was Wei Zhao? He had beaten Zou Ruoming and Zhong Yongliang and still strutted about, one of the campus tyrants! With such a man, who would dare gossip to his face?
As they passed the basketball hoop, Wei Zhao saw Wang Zhifeng sternly berating Zou Ruoming and several other students, Zou Ruoming and his lackeys wearing looks of utter dejection. "You came to this school to cram for the college entrance exams, yet you play basketball all day and smoke. What are you here for? If you do not want to study, then get out at once. Places in the remedial class are limited, and plenty of people want in!"
The senior repeaters' cram class was under Wang Zhifeng's control, and he had the power to drive away any student as he pleased! These students were not regular students of the school in the first place, so there was no need at all to report to the school leadership or the education bureau.
Wei Zhao stopped in his tracks, while Tang Yun flinched a little, not daring to look at Zou Ruoming, and wanting to hurry away, only to have Wei Zhao seize her hand.
"Ah!" Tang Yun gave a startled cry, which drew the attention of Wang Zhifeng and Zou Ruoming.
Wang Zhifeng saw Wei Zhao and Tang Yun actually holding hands on the sports field, and felt suddenly awkward. Here he was, the dignified dean of instruction, in the middle of scolding students, catching other students in puppy love and openly holding hands... and he could do nothing about it...
Wang Zhifeng could only smile and nod at Wei Zhao, hoping he would quickly lead Tang Yun away and be affectionate wherever he pleased, so long as it was not right under his nose.
Yet Wei Zhao pointedly refused to grant his wish. He not only halted, but pulled Tang Yun along with him and walked toward Zou Ruoming.
