Chapter 459 — The Seat Was Taken
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Shen Yushu naturally didn't want Zhong Yongliang in the front row either; she still wanted to see what would happen between Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao in a moment. So she seized on any excuse to send Zhong Yongliang packing.
"R-really?" At Shen Yushu's words, Zhong Yongliang promptly found himself a way down from the ledge. "Xiaofu, then let's sit at the very back. The first row is only for timid men!"
Seeing that Wei Zhao seemed to have no intention of making trouble for him, Zhong Yongliang breathed a sigh of relief. He and Gao Xiaofu hurried to the rear of the cabin and settled into the last row of seats.
Being a private low-altitude aircraft, it wouldn't conflict much with commercial airliners, and before long after boarding, the plane began to taxi slowly into the air.
Neither Zhong Yongliang nor Gao Xiaofu had ever been in a small private plane like this before, and they had assumed the rear of the cabin would be much the same as on an ordinary commercial jet. But once they were airborne, Zhong Yongliang learned just how unbearable it could be!
The seat bounced and jolted with a vengeance. Zhong Yongliang's face turned a frightful shade of white, and Gao Xiaofu at his side was scarcely any better.
"Brother Liang, why don't we move up a few rows? This is just too much!" Gao Xiaofu could hardly stand it anymore.
"You want to go, you go. If I went, what would Gu Mengyao think of me? She'd take me for a coward, wouldn't she?" Miserable as he was, Zhong Yongliang gritted his teeth and held on. He had already shot his mouth off; if he backed down now, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
Zhong Yongliang had already supplied no small amount of fodder for mockery, and naturally he did not wish to supply any more. If he could still grit his teeth and hold out, then hold out he would. His one hope now was to reach the seaside baths of Binfen City as quickly as possible.
Since Zhong Yongliang would not leave, Gao Xiaofu could hardly slip away either, and had no choice but to endure it at his side. It was his first time on a plane, and he had no experience to draw on, so naturally he fared even worse than Zhong Yongliang.
Wei Zhao paid Feng Xiaoxiao no mind at all. Whatever she said, his answers were meaningless scraps like "Oh" or "Is that so?", which left Feng Xiaoxiao thoroughly disgruntled.
"Xiaoshu, what do you suppose Feng Xiaoxiao is really up to?" Gu Mengyao had noticed too that Feng Xiaoxiao had been acting strangely these past few days.
"No idea. But I figure she's fallen for Arrow Brand, hasn't she? Otherwise why would she keep courting his favor?" Shen Yushu said, her words muffled around a mouthful of snacks.
"Swooning over Wei Zhao? How could that be? Isn't she out to make trouble for him?" Gu Mengyao frowned, then snorted inwardly. As if Wei Zhao were some prize that anyone would set her cap for.
"Yao Yao, are you jealous?" Shen Yushu asked, grinning.
"Me? Jealous of what? What has any of this to do with me?" Gu Mengyao gave a dismissive sniff.
"Nothing to do with you? And here I was thinking of eavesdropping on the two of them. Since that's how it is, I suppose I'll forget it." So saying, Shen Yushu went back to her snacks.
