護花近衛 - 第443章 試驗失敗 - 清風書屋

"A wish? Weren't you craving shark meat?" Gu Mengyao had no idea what Shen Yushu was up to, so she reminded her.

"Oh! Right, right! I want shark meat!" Reminded by Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu was so excited she was dancing about. "I'll make Zhong Yongliang take me to eat shark meat!" "Zhong Yongliang? Take you to eat shark meat?" Gu Mengyao was slightly taken aback.

"That's right. Just now Zhong Yongliang asked me what remedial measures might cheer you up a little," Shen Yushu said.

"Don't go looking for him. If you want shark meat, just have Wei Zhao catch some for you." Gu Mengyao did not want anything to do with Zhong Yongliang.

"Don't worry, Sister Yao Yao. It's me and Zhong Yongliang talking anyway—it won't drag you into it." Shen Yushu was already thoroughly practiced at this sort of thing.

"Suit yourself." Gu Mengyao could not be bothered to interfere anymore—over the past three years Shen Yushu had pulled this kind of stunt far too often, and Gu Mengyao had grown somewhat numb to it. She only wondered: after being tricked several times, how could Zhong Yongliang still keep believing Shen Yushu?

For the last class of the morning, Zhong Yongliang simply skipped it. He took Gao Xiaofu and rushed off to the night market street, bought two portions of fried mushrooms in a frantic hurry, then returned to school, and finally managed to set the two portions of fried mushrooms in front of Shen Yushu before the noon break.

"Oh. Wait till I've finished eating before we talk—they won't be crisp if they get cold." Shen Yushu waved her hand, signaling that Zhong Yongliang could leave.

Bowing and scraping, Zhong Yongliang returned to his seat. He and Gao Xiaofu had bought a few steamed buns; Zhong Yongliang had something on his mind, so he could not eat much.

At long last he saw Shen Yushu finish the fried mushrooms. Zhong Yongliang shot to his feet and chased after her. Shen Yushu was going to throw away the takeout box from the fried mushrooms, and seeing Zhong Yongliang's impatient look, she secretly laughed to herself.

There really were such fools in the world—never tricked enough, and even rushing over to let her trick them again.

"I say, Little Liangzi, can't you give me a little peace? I'm just throwing away some trash and you follow me..." Shen Yushu looked at Zhong Yongliang with feigned displeasure.

"Heh heh, Xiaoshu, I'm just anxious, that's all. Let me throw it away for you!" With that, Zhong Yongliang took the odds and ends from Shen Yushu's hands. "What did Yao Yao say?"

"She said yesterday's business was more or less acceptable, but she's been under too much study pressure lately and wants to go out and have some fun. The school summer camp won't be until May, and she wants to go out now!" Shen Yushu had long since made up her excuse.

"Oh, go out and have fun? That's wonderful!" Zhong Yongliang practically wanted to cheer long live—his dream was to go out and have fun with Gu Mengyao, to go out on a date!

"What are you thinking? How could Sister Yao Yao possibly go out alone with you? She's not your girlfriend right now." Shen Yushu shot Zhong Yongliang a look of contempt.

But to Zhong Yongliang's ears, this brought no disappointment—on the contrary, he felt excited, because what Shen Yushu had said was that she was not his girlfriend *right now*, which meant that later on she might be? Gu Mengyao actually had feelings for him?

At this thought, Zhong Yongliang was overjoyed. "Xiaoshu, tell me—where does Mengyao want to go and play?"

"How about the seaside? You organize a spring outing and have the whole class go. Otherwise, Sister Yao Yao could never go alone with you!" Shen Yushu said.

"Sure, no problem. A spring outing? I'll go organize it in a bit." Now that Zhong Yongliang had a goal, he nodded hurriedly and trotted off happily to throw away Shen Yushu's trash for her.

Having settled Zhong Yongliang, Shen Yushu hummed a song and went back to the classroom.
