"So that's all? Then I'm heading back!" Wei Zhao rolled his eyes. Was this girl sick in the head? Coming all the way over between classes to ask about this? Even Tang Zhi's mother wasn't this nosy.
"Wait — Yunyun wants you to wait for her after fourth period, under the shade of the trees on the left side of the *** field!" Having said that, Liu Xinlan turned and left without waiting for Wei Zhao's reply.
Under the shade of the trees on the left side of the *** field? Wei Zhao rubbed his nose. Did this count as the first time Tang Zhi had ever asked him to meet her on her own initiative?
Back in the classroom, Kang ** asked eagerly, "Boss, I saw Liu Xinlan looking for you just now — what was it about?"
"Relax, Xiaofen's fine. It's about me." How could Wei Zhao fail to guess what Kang ** was thinking? A single sentence set his mind at ease.
Hearing that it had nothing to do with Xiaofen, Kang ** nodded and asked no more.
During the break, Wei Zhao caught sight of Zou Ruoming sitting under the basketball hoop with a miserable look on his face. The "high fours" were not required to take part in the break, so the school made no particular effort to keep these students in line.
The so-called "high four" was in fact a college entrance exam prep class. To boost their revenues, a number of key high schools ran such classes, and they took in not only their own failed seniors who had missed the university cut but also dropouts from other schools and from society at large. Pay the fee, and one could go on attending "high four" here forever.
Wei Zhao gave Zou Ruoming a flat glance. In Wei Zhao's mind this fellow had already been marked for death; anyone who dared to lay a hand on those close to him was not someone Wei Zhao would let off lightly.
A few classrooms away, Wei Zhao spotted Tang Zhi and waved to her, but she glared back at him, turned away shyly, and would not look his way again.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were forever the focus of most of the boys, and during the break they drew many stares, though the two of them had long since grown used to such looks.
Zhong Yongliang stood by the window in the teaching building corridor, his gaze sliding from Gu Mengyao to Wei Zhao. Ever since Wei Zhao had appeared, nothing had gone smoothly for him! This man had to be erased from his sight!
As Zhong Yongliang seethed, the phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed. He pulled it out and saw that it was his father, Zhong Fabai, calling.
"Dad?" Zhong Yongliang was a little puzzled; normally, while he was at school, Zhong Fabai rarely called him.
"Pinliang, Black Panther has found me through his lawyer from the detention center. He says he wants to see you. What do you think..." Zhong Fabai had no idea why Black Panther wanted to see Zhong Yongliang, but he did not dare refuse offhand. After all, Black Panther was taking the fall for Zhong Yongliang, and if Zhong Yongliang refused to see him, Black Panther might harbor a grudge and turn on them at the last moment, which would be troublesome.
