Chapter 180 — The Fretful Little Nurse

He went upstairs. This was the first time Wei Zhao had seen the upper floor of the villa, and Gu Mengyao's was presumably much the same. There were four rooms up there. In the spirit of "do not look upon what is improper," Wei Zhao found the study, carried the desktop computer down from the desk, then locked the villa door and left.
As for the other things in the villa, Wei Zhao did not touch them. That girl Chen was no one to fool with. If he moved anything of hers, would he not be handing her yet another hold over him?
By the time Wei Zhao returned to his villa, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were sitting in the living room watching television. For once, remarkably, the two of them were actually watching TV; ordinarily when they came home, they went straight upstairs.
Seeing Wei Zhao come in lugging a computer, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both glanced at him, then returned their eyes to the television screen.
Wei Zhao glanced at the screen. It was a celebrity concert, a rather pretty girl hopping and bouncing about on stage, except that she was wearing a bit too much clothing... Wei Zhao thought to himself that it would be better if she wore a little less...
"Hey, do you want to watch the concert with us? The big star Xu Shilan is on, you know!" Shen Yushu said without taking her eyes off the screen.
"Oh, no thanks, you two watch." Wei Zhao was not much interested in this sort of celebrity concert. There was too much negative news in the entertainment world, and it made Wei Zhao feel that the girl on television was plainly faking purity, good only for fooling young girls like Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
Since Wei Zhao did not watch, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu showed no particular displeasure. This was their idol, and whether Wei Zhao liked her or not was no concern of theirs.
Wei Zhao carried the computer back to his room. After hooking it up, he found that the indicator light on the computer's network card was not lit. The network port on the wall was fine, so the only possibility was that the line for this room had not been plugged into the network switch at the building's entry point.
Wei Zhao came out of his room again. "Yaoyao, where is the network switch for the building? The network port in my room has no signal."
"Go upstairs and fix it yourself. Don't bother me, I'm watching the concert." Gu Mengyao waved her hand with a hint of impatience. The room Wei Zhao now occupied had never been lived in before, so it was only natural that the network cable had not been plugged in properly.
"Me? Upstairs?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. Weren't they refusing to let him go up? And today they were allowing it? True, both of them were downstairs, but upstairs was, after all, their own private little world, wasn't it?
"You are not to enter Xiaoshu's room or mine. The network data box is in the middle of the staircase. General Weiwu, you follow him. If he wanders where he shouldn't, bite him!" Gu Mengyao was plainly engrossed in the concert on television, so much so that she paid no mind even to Wei Zhao going upstairs. Yet she was not foolish enough to leave it at that; she dispatched General Weiwu to follow him. But would that do any good?
General Weiwu let out a mournful growl and wagged its tail at Gu Mengyao's feet with some reluctance.
"What? You want to watch the concert too?" Gu Mengyao assumed General Weiwu was unwilling to leave the television. "You lecherous dog!"
"Woof-woo..." General Weiwu gave another dejected growl and ran off toward Wei Zhao.
Yet when it reached him, it dared not come too close, and merely trailed weakly behind Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao's mood at this moment was one of excitement and unease. He had been to Shen Yushu's home before, and had gone up to the second floor as well. But that place had stood empty for a long time, and Shen Yushu had only moved in recently. To visit a maiden's chamber devoid of any human warmth was nothing to get excited about.
