Chapter 387 — Then Why Did You Look?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
He had barely turned his head when he saw Gu Mengyao running toward him wrapped in a bath towel, its hem fluttering in the wind, a pair of long legs, smooth as jade, appearing and vanishing by turns. Though he could not see very clearly, Wei Zhao could not help swallowing.
Gu Mengyao's figure was tall and well proportioned. Though not as voluptuous as Shen Yushu, she was still one in a hundred. Wei Zhao would not go out of his way to peep at the young lady, but when it was delivered right to his eyes, there was no harm in looking.
Gu Mengyao suddenly realized where Wei Zhao's gaze was directed. Her face flushed at once, and she snatched the sachet from his hand, spitting furiously: "Shameless!"
Then she turned and hurried back into the villa — though this time she dared not run; fast as her steps were, she moved in small, careful strides.
Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. That was that — he had left a bad impression on the young lady. But by heaven and earth, she was the one who had run so fast and flashed herself at him; he had not gone looking on purpose.
He returned to the living room dejected, only to find that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had already gone upstairs. Wei Zhao was speechless. He had meant well and done ill? He dug up their treasure for them, and they called him shameless... Ah, even peeping was no easy job!
After a while, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu came back downstairs, now changed into proper, modest pajamas, so that Wei Zhao could see no spring scenery at all.
Yet Wei Zhao felt somewhat wronged. Sometimes Gu Mengyao even wore shorts — did that not reveal more? Just now he had merely found that hazy, indistinct quality a little thrilling; in truth he had seen nothing at all!
Seeing that Gu Mengyao wore the look of one about to deliver a lecture, Wei Zhao quickly sat up straight, feigned an air of complete innocence, and prepared to watch television.
"Ahem, ahem!" Seeing that this creature showed not the slightest remorse for his misdeeds, Gu Mengyao grew even more annoyed. She cleared her throat twice and glared at Wei Zhao.
"Ah, it's the young lady. Is something the matter?" Only then did Wei Zhao pretend to have just noticed her coming downstairs. He raised his head and looked at her warily.
What could he do? He had only himself to blame for having quick eyes and stealing a look at her.
"Brother Arrow, Sister Yaoyao is going to denounce you — you'd better watch out!" Shen Yushu winked at Wei Zhao.
Yet the solemn atmosphere Shen Yushu had stirred up vanished without a trace. Gu Mengyao was about to explode with rage. Shen Yushu was here purely to make trouble; the girl was probably sweet on Wei Zhao and was covering for him! But this creature Wei Zhao was truly shameless, and if he was not warned, it simply would not do.
So Gu Mengyao pretended not to have heard Shen Yushu, and glared sternly at Wei Zhao: "Wei Zhao, do you know how a follower ought to behave?"
"Uh... I know. Don't look at what you shouldn't look at..." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Then why did you look?" Gu Mengyao snorted, thinking: you knew, and you still looked? You did it on purpose, didn't you?
