Chapter 181 — Secrets in the Computer
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao hurried up the stairs and, sure enough, found a concealed data box on the wall between the first and second floors. It had been pasted over with wallpaper; unless one looked closely, it was impossible to spot.
Wei Zhao opened the data box. Though he did not understand much about network matters, the labels inside were all clear and distinct. Clearly the people living in this villa district were wealthy, and few of them understood anything about wiring. The developer had taken this into account when building: the control switches in every room were plainly marked, and one needed only to follow the instructions to operate them.
Sure enough, his own room's phone and network ports had not been activated on the data box. Wei Zhao switched on the network; as for the telephone, never mind—he had a mobile phone and had no need of a landline.
This done, Wei Zhao closed the data box and went downstairs. Gu Mengyao merely glanced at him. Seeing him come down so quickly and Mighty General showing no particular reaction, she concluded that Wei Zhao had certainly not gone up to the second floor, and so paid him no more attention. Her gaze returned to the television, and she and Shen Yushu excitedly twisted their bodies in imitation of Xu Shilan on the screen...
Wei Zhao was not interested. He went back to his room and began examining Shen Yushu's computer.
It was a branded machine, good in both configuration and appearance, only a little feminine. The case and monitor were both in a vivid, flashy style, and even the mouse and keyboard were fashionable—the sort of thing girls liked.
Wei Zhao was not particular about such things; making do was good enough. He connected the computer to the power, switched it on, and quickly booted into the system.
Shen Yushu's desktop was very clean, with almost no software installed—only a few common programs like QQ, Feixin, and a video player. Nothing professional at all.
Wei Zhao opened the D drive. Inside were two folders: one labeled "Videos," the other "Photo Album."
Seeing these two folder names, Wei Zhao was suddenly a little excited. Could it be that Shen Yushu amused herself at home by making some kind of steamy self-shot videos? He turned his head to glance at the door, already locked, and with a trembling hand first clicked open the "Videos" folder.
Toward Shen Yushu, Wei Zhao had always felt a rather harmonious fondness. She was a girl who made it easy to like her: she seemed careless and scatterbrained, but was in fact quite shrewd.
Compared with Gu Mengyao's arrogance, Shen Yushu seemed far more approachable. She was basically the bridge of communication between him and the eldest daughter of the Chu family. Unconsciously, it was only natural that Wei Zhao had developed a bit of fondness for her.
Thinking of Shen Yushu's rather striking figure, Wei Zhao nearly drooled.
Heh heh, little Chen girl, who would have thought you'd leave a hold over me too?
Wei Zhao lewdly stole a look inside the opened "Videos" folder, and was immediately disappointed... Good grief—it was all downloaded music videos or concert footage of the big star Xu Shilan. Where were any self-shot videos?
His interest flagging, Wei Zhao randomly clicked a couple. They were exactly the same as the program on television just now. Though the girl singing was quite pretty, Wei Zhao had no intention of wasting his precious feelings on some intangible idol. With that time, he would rather do something of his own—for instance, tease Tang Zhi and exchange glances with Shen Yushu, bicker with Qiu Lingshan, or even watch the eldest daughter of the Chu family glare at him. Ha ha, at least that beat watching idol videos—at any rate, those were real people right in front of him...
