Chapter 5030 — Go Pursue Someone Else

"Yes. You don't think that's it?" Wei Zhao glanced at her.
"I don't really understand such things." The tall woman shook her head. From her look she was plainly curious, but she did not voice a question.
Wei Zhao nodded inwardly. That one exchange was enough to show that she could not be from the secular world; otherwise she could not possibly be ignorant of something as basic as voltage. Her reaction was much the same as that of the natives on Yunjie Island.
Seeing her curiosity, Wei Zhao meant to seize the chance for a good long chat, but the tall woman simply said, "Then hurry up and change it."
"All right." The words already on his lips had to be swallowed. Wei Zhao could only smile wryly. The little ice queen truly had no wish to exchange another word with him.
Once the bulb was in, the room lit up again. Wei Zhao turned to look at the little ice queen and caught a rare flicker of delight on her face, though the moment she noticed his gaze it froze back into frost and snow.
"There, that should do it." Wei Zhao smiled.
"Thank you." The tall woman's expression had eased considerably compared with before—at least she no longer eyed Wei Zhao as some pervert who snapped photos up girls' skirts—but that was as far as it went. It was still a hundred thousand li from the quick intimacy Wei Zhao had envisioned, the kind that would let him pump her for information.
"It's nothing, only what I ought to do." Wei Zhao felt a little embarrassed. Of course it was what he ought to do—he was the one who had broken the bulb on purpose. If he did not change it, was he to make her go find someone else?
But his words only led the tall woman astray. Recalling the string of chance encounters these past days, her face, which had just softened a touch, hardened back into the impatient look of one who keeps strangers at bay. "Then I won't see you out," she said at once.
"Huh?" Wei Zhao stared, regarding her with a strange expression. This little ice queen burned the bridge fast—she had just had her bulb changed and was already shooing him off, not even offering him a sip of water. If he really left now, he would not have exchanged two words with her, and as for drawing closer, that was nonsense. Had all his effort been for nothing?
The tall woman simply watched him coldly, showing not the least intention of asking him to stay. Never mind that this was her icy nature to begin with—even if it were not, no girl could keep a man lingering in her room late at night, especially when she was about to go on soaking in her medicinal bath.
"Actually, this..." Wei Zhao could only force himself to try and explain the matter from last time. Even if he could not draw closer, he had at least to clear up the misunderstanding about the skirt photos; otherwise he would never get a word in with the little ice queen.
"You needn't say more. Go pursue someone else. You and I are not the same kind, so don't waste your scheming, or you'll live to regret it!" the tall woman said flatly.
Now Wei Zhao was utterly dumbstruck. All he had done was try to get close to her so he could pump her for information later—he had never once thought of pursuing her!
While Wei Zhao was still frozen in shock, she finished speaking, shoved him straight out the door, and shut it behind him.
