Chapter 134 — Bus Wall-Slam
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Hearing that, the would-be critic shrank back at once. No joke: with a man like that, best to provoke him as little as possible. If he could open up space, it was because he had the strength and the ability; what business was it of anyone else's?
Still, Wei Zhao's position with Tang Zhi was a little ambiguous. Setting aside this particular setting, anywhere else, Wei Zhao wrapping Tang Zhi up like that would have looked like nothing so much as a pack of hoodlum students harassing a schoolgirl.
Tang Zhi kept her head down, her heart far from calm, a little nervous and a little surprised too. Wei Zhao really had not taken further advantage of her. He was a far cry from the great villain she had imagined. With such a fine opportunity, why had he not seized it?
Any other time it might have been better, but yesterday she had laid her cards on the table with him, and he no longer needed to keep up the act. Yet today... At this thought, Tang Zhi silently cursed herself for a fool. Was it not just as well that he did not take advantage of her? Did this villain have to take advantage of her for things to be as they should?
As more and more people boarded at the later stops, Tang Zhi felt the bus growing ever more crowded, yet the little space Wei Zhao guarded for her had not changed in the least. Slightly astonished, she glanced over from the corner of her eye and saw that behind Wei Zhao the crush was about to squeeze the smoke out of him, and at his sides too, yet he kept the same posture as before, not shifting a hair...
She knew Wei Zhao was strong, but being sheltered with such care still left her uneasy. He was a rich young master just the same, and in the past... even Xiaofen's boyfriend would never have done such a thing...
At this, Tang Zhi suddenly felt that Wei Zhao did not seem so very bad after all... No, wrong, how could she think that? It must be that Wei Zhao was putting on an act on purpose, to make her let down her guard and slowly break through her defenses... Yes, that had to be it! She must not be fooled!
At this, Tang Zhi stopped looking at Wei Zhao, lowered her head, and her mind went blank...
"Songshan City No.1 High School is approaching. Passengers getting off, please prepare. the-next-station-is-singsh-no.1-middle-school."
The voice of the stop announcer came from within the carriage: the next stop was Songshan City No.1 High School.
"Time to get off. I'll shield you while we squeeze out," Wei Zhao said to Tang Zhi.
"Oh..." Tang Zhi gave the faintest nod, her long lashes quivering slightly. Clearly, her heart was anything but calm.
As before, Wei Zhao put his arm around Tang Zhi's waist and carefully shielded her as they pushed toward the exit. But without the support of the window wall, Tang Zhi was inevitably pressed against Wei Zhao's chest.
Breathing in the masculine scent that clung to Wei Zhao, Tang Zhi was so flustered with shyness that she scarcely knew what to do. Her body went stiff and taut, and she did not dare move, hopping along like a stiffened corpse as she followed Wei Zhao toward the door...
"Phew..." At last they reached the stop and got off. Wei Zhao released Tang Zhi and let out a breath of relief. This was far more exhausting than squeezing onto the bus himself.
Earlier, Tang Zhi had thought that the very first thing she would do once off the bus was make Wei Zhao let go of her. But when they got off, before she could say a word, Wei Zhao had voluntarily released her, which left her unexpectedly a little disappointed. What was he really thinking?
