Chapter 286 — Brother Liang Writes a Blood Letter
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Well..." Gao Xiaofu hesitated a moment, then said, "Brother Liang, Gu Mengyao isn't an ordinary girl—her family background is excellent too. So I'm afraid ordinary methods won't work on her. If you want to move her, you'll have to use something a bit more special."
"What would that be? Xiaofu, do you have any good ideas?" Zhong Yongliang's eyes lit up; what Gao Xiaofu said seemed to make some sense.
"This... a few days ago I read a book. In it, the male lead, when courting his girlfriend, wrote a blood letter—written in his own blood. And when the female lead saw it, she was so moved she was beside herself, and then she became his girlfriend. I think that method packs a real punch, Brother Liang. If you've got the guts for it, you might give it a try."
"A blood letter? Now that's a good idea." Zhong Yongliang thought it over and nodded. "It really is something that would move a person. I think if I were Gu Mengyao, I'd surely be moved by my sincerity."
"That's right, Brother Liang. Write a few powerful lines too, and I think once Gu Mengyao's heart is swayed, she'll say yes to you," Gao Xiaofu nodded and said.
"Good, I've got it. Here's what you do—after class, go spread the word that I'm going to write Gu Mengyao a blood letter. Let it get around the classroom. Build up some momentum for me first," Zhong Yongliang said. "That will make my sincerity all the more evident."
"No problem at all." Gao Xiaofu nodded. He would not dare go up against Wei Zhao, but when it came to doing other things around the class, Gao Xiaofu knew the ropes like the back of his hand.
So it happened that when the first period ended, thanks to Gao Xiaofu's deliberate fanning of the flames, word began to spread through the classroom: Zhong Yongliang, Gu Mengyao's diehard suitor, was preparing to write a letter in blood to declare his love.
What sensational, romance-soaked news it was! On campus, senior year life was a grind—every day nothing but tests, review, and exam prep. The slightest trifle stirred up a ripple...
Of course, the ripple rose fast and died fast, because most students were only in it for the novelty, for a bit of fun—something to switch their brains off and unwind from the relentless studying before plunging back into the sea of problems.
Just like before: Wei Zhao beating up Brother Black Panther, Wei Zhao slipping a love letter to Tang Zhi, Wei Zhao slapping Zou Ruoming across the face right in front of the academic director. Those things spread fast too, but they faded just as fast.
Within a few days, no one paid the matter any attention anymore.
And Zhong Yongliang's blood-letter affair lasted a mere two class breaks before people stopped mentioning it... Perhaps when he actually handed the blood letter to Gu Mengyao, it might draw some notice again?
Gu Mengyao was rather angered. Writing her a blood letter? What was that supposed to mean—trying to scare her? So what if it was a blood letter? Did a blood letter mean she had to say yes?
"Xiaoshu, don't you think Zhong Yongliang is going too far? He's actually going to write me a blood letter—wouldn't you say he's threatening me?" Gu Mengyao said indignantly. "What's so impressive about shedding a little blood?"
"Yeah, Yao-Yao, you and I shed blood every month, nothing impressive about it," Shen Yushu nodded.
"..." Gu Mengyao stared at her best friend, and truly wanted to pry open her skull and see just how her brain was wired. What an imagination! To leap from Zhong Yongliang's blood letter straight to a woman's monthly period...
