Chapter 461 — The Shark Is Coming
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao did not rush off to change into his swimsuit the way the others did; he sat down on the sand instead, quietly watching the tiny creatures in the water. Clear seawater like this had grown rare in the cities and on the tourist trails, and Wei Zhao felt as though he had returned to his hometown.
As a boy, he and Ergoudan had often played by the sea. Most of the time, of course, Wei Zhao had been forced by the old man to practice his martial arts in the water, while Ergoudan—Wei Zhao truly doubted the makeup of that boy's body; he himself could scarcely keep his footing in the surging waves, yet the little wretch stood there like an iron tower, unshaken.
"Why aren't you going to change into your swimsuit?" Feng Xiaoxiao, seeing that Wei Zhao had planted himself on the sand and drifted off into a daze the moment he arrived, came over, puzzled.
"I can't swim, so what would I change for?" Wei Zhao said flatly. "And you?"
"Because I want to stay by your side!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
Wei Zhao shook his head. His train of thought had been broken, so he turned his attention to the girls who had already changed into their swimsuits. Eighteen-year-old girls, their slender, delicate figures now in full bloom—this was a fine chance to feast his eyes. What would the young mistress and Shen Yushu look like in swimsuits? Compared with Gu Mengyao, Wei Zhao was in fact more eager to see Shen Yushu in a swimsuit... He had seen photographs of the two of them in swimwear, but photographs were no match for the visual effect of the real thing.
What disappointed Wei Zhao, however, was that neither Gu Mengyao nor Shen Yushu had changed into swimsuits. Instead, they set up a sun umbrella by the water and, seated beneath it, began to unpack the snacks from their backpacks... So these two girls had come for a picnic?
Come to think of it, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had plenty of chances to visit the seaside; on the hard drive of his own computer there was next to nothing but photographs of the two of them traveling, many of them taken by the sea.
"There don't seem to be any sharks here?" Shen Yushu said, gazing at the placid water with some disappointment.
"This is a tourist area. Naturally there wouldn't be any sharks," said Gu Mengyao.
"That little Liangzi—how dare he lie to me, saying he'd roast shark meat for me to eat! I'm never trusting him again!" Shen Yushu said indignantly.
"Even if there were, would you dare to eat the shark meat he roasted?" Gu Mengyao curled her lip.
"Uh—" The memory of Zhong Yongliang soiling his pants on the plane made Shen Yushu queasy. If Zhong Yongliang really did roast her shark meat, she probably wouldn't dare eat it either.
Gao Xiaofu saw that most of the class had gone into the water, so he strapped a shark fin to his back and slipped quietly into the sea. Yet after paddling a few circles, he found that not a single classmate was paying him any attention, and he grew a little anxious.
He dared not come too near the other students, either, for the water in the shallows was very clear, and if he went over, someone was bound to notice that this shark was a fake.
And yet he could hardly shout, "I'm a shark—the shark is coming!"
Zhong Yongliang was anxious as well. He was to play the hero who fought the shark, so the shark must not be discovered by him first. Best of all, someone else would spot it first and frighten all the other students up onto the shore, and only then would Zhong Yongliang step forward to display his prowess and "finish off" the shark!
Just when the two of them were both frantic with worry, Shen Yushu suddenly leapt up in excitement: "Yaoyao, it's a shark! The shark is coming!"
