Chapter 425 — Let's Go Shark Fishing
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I think Xiaofu's idea is good!" Zhong Yongliang naturally loathed Wei Zhao to the bone, so the moment he heard a plan that could humiliate him, he immediately urged Feng Xiaoxiao to go through with it.
"Well... let me think it over..." Feng Xiaoxiao was not as quick to assume as Zhong Yongliang; she wanted to study the plan's feasibility carefully.
"Sister Yaoyao, are we going to plant trees tomorrow too?" Shen Yushu was quite looking forward to the tree-planting. In fact, she looked forward to anything novel.
"Of course we're going. Years from now, after we've all graduated, married, and had children, we'll bring them to visit our alma mater and tell them this is where their mother went to school — that ought to be very educational!" Gu Mengyao nodded and said this solemnly.
"Oh — then will our children have the same daddy?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu, wishing she could crack open her best friend's skull and see what peculiar structure lay inside. How could she turn something so serious into a farce with such a straight face?
"Hm?" Shen Yushu blinked.
"Open your mouth," Gu Mengyao ordered.
"No, absolutely not!" Shen Yushu shook her head.
"Why?" Gu Mengyao was taken aback. Shen Yushu had always done exactly as she was told.
"If you pull out my tongue, it'll hurt," Shen Yushu said.
"You knew it would hurt, and you still went and spouted all that nonsense?" Gu Mengyao snorted.
"Then I won't say that kind of thing next time," Shen Yushu promised.
"You always say next time. Next time after next time — how many next times will there be?" Gu Mengyao no longer believed a word out of Shen Yushu's mouth.
"Big Sister Yaoyao, the original wording of that saying is 'tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are,'" Shen Yushu said.
"Oh, so it's tomorrow, is it? Tomorrow, next time — it's all the same. Who cares about tomorrow... Xiaoshu, you've gone and changed the subject again!" Gu Mengyao was speechless; she had nearly let the little rascal bluff her way past it once more.
"Hee hee..." Shen Yushu stuck out her tongue. "Never mind all that. We still haven't gotten the saplings — shall we go out and buy some?"
"Fine..." Gu Mengyao forgave Shen Yushu for the moment. With a best friend like this, one simply had to learn tolerance — take a step back and the sea opens wide before you! Otherwise she would die of fury ten times a day. "Go call Wei Zhao and tell him to follow us in the car. Our car won't hold all the saplings."
"Okay! Chewing Gum Guy — Chewing Gum Guy —" Shen Yushu stretched her voice and hollered for Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao, having watched Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu bicker earlier, had already gone back to his room; he was used to the way the two of them carried on and no longer found it strange. Hearing Shen Yushu's call, he came out of the room and asked, "What is it?"
"Chewing Gum Guy, I'm craving shark meat again!" Shen Yushu said.
Gu Mengyao nearly tumbled straight off the sofa onto the floor. Weren't they supposed to have him come along to buy saplings? How had the conversation veered off into shark meat?
"Oh, they don't sell that at the market. Why don't you go catch one yourself?" Wei Zhao was rather at a loss for words. Shark meat wasn't even all that tasty — what was it about this Chen girl that made her so fond of the stuff?
"Okay, okay, Big Sister Mengyao, shall we go to the seaside and catch a shark?" Shen Yushu suggested.
