Chapter 297 — Guan Xin's Thoughts

"Oh, no need. Just take it and use it." Wei Zhao gave Kang Xiaofeng two hundred yuan. This little bit of money he could still spare.
"I was thinking of buying Xiaofen a cheap cell phone. Two hundred yuan should be enough," Kang Xiaofeng said. "Otherwise it is inconvenient for us to keep in touch."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. "Keep that two hundred for your own spending. I will cover the money for the phone. You are giving her a gift—you should at least buy something decent. You cannot just buy a two-hundred-yuan one, can you?"
"Hehe, then thank you, Boss. I will not stand on ceremony!" Kang Xiaofeng did not decline and took it straight away.
"I want to buy a cell phone too, and while I am at it, I will get one for Tang Zhi as well," Wei Zhao said. "Tomorrow at noon, then. We will go to the phone shop together tomorrow."
"All right... Oh, right, boss, let me have another look at your phone?" Kang Xiaofeng said in a low voice.
"What do you want to look at? Shen Yushu or Gu Mengyao?" Wei Zhao gave the little wretch a rap on the head. "You already have Xiaofen, so don't let your mind wander!"
"Ah... you saw right through me..." Kang Xiaofeng said, a little embarrassed. "Just a little eye candy, that's all! The three great beauties of the school are all out of my reach now. Tang Zhi is our big sister-in-law these days, so I don't dare let my eyes wander there either. I can only admire these two famous flowers with no owners..."
"You just study hard!" Wei Zhao smiled helplessly. "I won't let you look."
"Fine, fine, I won't look!" Kang Xiaofeng said, a little dejected. "Honestly, boss, whose phone is this anyway? Why does it look like a girl's? Can you give me a hint? And that Beetle from last time—you said it wasn't yours either, but it looked like a girl's car to me too..."
"Since you want to know so badly, I'll tell you." Wei Zhao glanced at Kang Xiaofeng. "The car and the phone actually both belong to Shen Yushu. She and I are already living together..."
"Huh?" Kang Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then let out a "Tch." "If you don't want to say, then don't! I'll stop asking, all right?"
Wei Zhao shrugged. Most of the time, telling the plain truth only meant no one believed you—but it was also a clean, permanent way to settle a nuisance. Kang Xiaofeng would not ask about this again, and even if he learned the truth later, Wei Zhao would not have lied to him.
He really was living with Shen Yushu. And, well, Gu Mengyao too! Though to be precise, it was really more of a shared residence.
That evening after school, Wei Zhao sent Gu Mengyao a text message telling her he had something to do and would be back a little late. Gu Mengyao was used to messages like this by now. She had hired this fellow herself—why did he have so much messy business to deal with?
Guan Xin was already a little helpless against her grandfather's praise. If that boy was so wonderful, why not take him as an adopted grandson or something? What was the point of telling her to spend more time with him?
There was already someone's shadow in Guan Xin's heart. How could she possibly accept anyone else at a time like this? But there was no way she could explain such a thing clearly to her grandfather, so she could only murmur her agreement and head to the kitchen, somewhat displeased.
Make me cook with care? And why should I? If I cook well and he takes a fancy to me, then what? Am I not just asking for trouble? Guan Xin thought. Better to make it taste awful—let him eat it once and never want to eat it again.
Yes, right, that's the way! Most men probably cared a great deal about their girlfriend's cooking. She would make a few dishes that could "poison" him to death, and then see whether he dared to pursue her any further!
