Chapter 459 — The Seat Was Taken
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Shen Yushu naturally did not want Zhong Yongliang sitting up front either; she wanted to see what would happen between Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao. So she had seized on any excuse to send him packing.
"I-is that so?" At Shen Yushu's words, Zhong Yongliang found his way down from the ledge at once. "Xiaofu, then let's sit at the very back. The first row is only for cowards!"
Seeing that Wei Zhao seemed to have no intention of making trouble for him, Zhong Yongliang breathed a sigh of relief. He and Gao Xiaofu hurried to the rear of the cabin and sat down in the last seats.
Since it was a private low-altitude aircraft, it would not come into much conflict with commercial airliners; not long after boarding, the plane lifted off slowly.
Neither Zhong Yongliang nor Gao Xiaofu had ever been on a small private plane before, and they had assumed the rear of the cabin would be much like that of an ordinary airliner. But the moment they were airborne, Zhong Yongliang realized how miserable it was.
The spot was as bumpy as bumpy could be. Zhong Yongliang's face turned a frightful white, and Gao Xiaofu beside him was not much better...
"Liang, why don't we move up a few rows? This is just too much to bear," said Gao Xiaofu, at the end of his patience.
"If you want to go, go by yourself. If I go, what will Gu Mengyao think of me? That I'm a coward?" Miserable as he was, Zhong Yongliang set his teeth and held on. He had already made his declaration; to back down now would make him a laughingstock.
Laughingstock or not, he was one often enough already, and he certainly did not want to become one more times than necessary. Since he could still grit his teeth and endure, endure he would. Zhong Yongliang only wished the plane would hurry up and reach the seaside bathing beach in Binfen City.
If Zhong Yongliang would not move, Gao Xiaofu could hardly move alone; he could only sit there and bear it. It was his first flight, and he had no experience; naturally he fared even worse than Zhong Yongliang.
Wei Zhao paid Feng Xiaoxiao no mind either. Whatever she said, his answers were "Oh," "Is that so?" and other such empty words, which left Feng Xiaoxiao thoroughly vexed.
"Xiaoshu, what do you suppose Feng Xiaoxiao is really after?" Gu Mengyao had noticed too that Feng Xiaoxiao had been acting strangely these past few days.
"No idea. But I think she's fallen for Brother Shield—otherwise why would she keep cozying up to him?" Shen Yushu said around a mouthful of snacks, her words coming out indistinct.
"Sweet on Wei Zhao? How could that be? Isn't she out to make trouble for him?" Gu Mengyao frowned and gave an inward sniff. Wei Zhao was no prize pastry that just anyone would take a fancy to.
"Sister Yao, are you jealous?" Shen Yushu asked, grinning.
"Me? Jealous of what? What has it to do with me?" Gu Mengyao gave a little huff, speaking as if it were of no consequence.
"Nothing to do with you? And here I was thinking of creeping over to eavesdrop on the two of them. Since that's the case, never mind." With that, Shen Yushu went back to her snacks.
