Chapter 456 — Beyond Endurance

At peak hours the cafeteria grew crowded, so a few spare folding chairs were kept along the wall for extra seating when the place filled up. Wei Zhao had not expected Feng Xiaoxiao to haul one over herself.
"Wei Zhao, I bought you braised chicken legs. They're delicious! Here." As she spoke, Feng Xiaoxiao set the plate of braised chicken legs from her tray in front of Wei Zhao.
"Huh?" Wei Zhao had not expected Feng Xiaoxiao to buy him a plate of braised chicken legs. Was this not deliberately making him uncomfortable? Tang Yun had already been a little jealous; what on earth was this girl playing at?
"Eat up, they're so good!" Feng Xiaoxiao watched Wei Zhao with a smile. "I heard from Zhong Yongliang that the cafeteria's braised chicken legs and roast lamb chops are both delicious, but the lamb chops are made to order—I've ordered a portion, it'll take a while. You start with the chicken legs!"
At last Wei Zhao had reached the end of his patience. Before, because Feng Xiaoxiao was a girl, he had never really done anything to her. But now, with Feng Xiaoxiao doing one strange thing after another, he finally could not hold back.
"Feng Xiaoxiao, are you ever going to stop?" Wei Zhao glared at her.
"You—you're so mean to me." Feng Xiaoxiao was badly startled by Wei Zhao. Her eyes reddened and she shed tears of grievance. "Woo... why are you so mean to me? I just admire you, I just want to please you so you'll teach me to drive. What's wrong with that... woo..."
"!" Wei Zhao stared in shock at the pitiful Feng Xiaoxiao, scarcely believing his eyes. Was this the same Feng Xiaoxiao who had ground her teeth and plotted to secretly photograph him and blow him up with firecrackers?
She had not cried when the firecrackers went off, and now she cried just because he had shouted at her a couple of times?
Tang Yun had been annoyed that Feng Xiaoxiao had no sense of when to make herself scarce—she and Wei Zhao had finally gotten a little time alone, and here she was playing the third wheel. But now, seeing Feng Xiaoxiao so aggrieved, Tang Yun softened again. Did she really just admire Wei Zhao? Or did she have other ideas?
But admiration was a hard thing to pin down; it turned into fondness all too easily. That was why Tang Yun had been so hostile toward Feng Xiaoxiao. Yet now she felt a little sorry for her. "Wei Zhao, say something to her, get her to stop crying. Or—why don't you just teach her?"
"Don't let her fool you. This girl loves to put on a show." Wei Zhao curled his lip, hardened his heart, and ignored Feng Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Wei Zhao say that, Tang Yun could hardly press further. Fortunately Feng Xiaoxiao only wiped her tears in silence, without crying loudly enough to draw attention; otherwise people might well have gotten the wrong idea.
