Chapter 460 — Threw It Up and Ate It Again

"Oh, sure!" Chen Yubei agreed with a grin.
But Shen Yushu pricked up her ears and listened for a long while without catching a word of what Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were saying in the seats across from her. The two of them weren't talking at all, were they?
Wei Zhao had his eyes narrowed in feigned sleep. After Feng Xiaoxiao said a few things and got no response from him, she had no choice but to listen to music by herself. "Gum Boy?" Shen Yushu wasn't worried that Feng Xiaoxiao might overhear what she called Wei Zhao, since Feng Xiaoxiao knew perfectly well what the relationship between the two of them was. If she had meant to blab, she would have done it long ago instead of waiting until now.
"Hm?" Wei Zhao opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yushu in puzzlement.
"It's nothing." Shen Yushu had thought Wei Zhao was asleep and meant to wake him so she could listen to him and Feng Xiaoxiao talk. Now that Wei Zhao was awake, there was nothing she needed to do.
"?" Wei Zhao gave Shen Yushu a baffled look and shook his head.
"Wei Zhao, are you hungry? I have some biscuits here." Seeing that Wei Zhao was no longer pretending to sleep, Feng Xiaoxiao hurriedly spoke up.
"Oh, you eat them yourself." Wei Zhao answered faintly, his gaze drifting out the window.
Feng Xiaoxiao pouted. What was that supposed to mean? The moment Shen Yushu called him, he answered; when she spoke to him, he barely bothered to respond. "Hey, how much do they pay you?"
"What do you mean, how much do they pay me?" Wei Zhao was taken aback.
"Aren't you their errand boy and bodyguard? How much do they pay you every month?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
"A few tens of thousands..." Wei Zhao said vaguely.
"A few tens of thousands..." Feng Xiaoxiao was startled. How could it be so much? Her family certainly loved money, but her own pocket money was only ten thousand a month. She had meant to ask how much Gu Mengyao paid Wei Zhao so she could offer him double to work for her, but now the words would not come out, and she could only say sourly, "You're bluffing!"
"Hah." Wei Zhao had more or less guessed what Feng Xiaoxiao was thinking. "I work for her father. The errand-boy bit is just a side job."
"Oh..." Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. If it was for Gu Pengzhan, then perhaps he really would spend that kind of money. It wasn't out of the question after all.
"Feng Xiaoxiao, if you want to learn to drive, I don't have the time for now, so there's no need for you to follow me around every day. Following me won't do any good anyway." Since Wei Zhao had brought it up, he decided he might as well make things clear.
"I don't have to learn! It doesn't matter if you won't teach me—I just want you to influence me imperceptibly," Feng Xiaoxiao said. "That way I'll become more and more like you."
"..." Wei Zhao was dumbfounded. What kind of nonsense theory was that? Imperceptible influence? For a moment he was speechless. "Suit yourself, then."
Knowing it was pointless to argue with Feng Xiaoxiao, Wei Zhao could not be bothered to waste more words. If she wanted to tag along, let her. Give it a few days and she would probably tire of it herself.
"Great!" Feng Xiaoxiao was overjoyed that Wei Zhao had agreed, her eyes curving into crescent moons. "Here, have some biscuits."
Wei Zhao took the biscuits and set them casually on the little tray table in front of him...
"I heard them," Shen Yushu said to Gu Mengyao in a low voice.
"So what did they say?" Gu Mengyao asked.
"Feng Xiaoxiao asked Gum Boy to teach her to drive—that's why she follows him around every day," Shen Yushu said.
"Is that so? Then let her." Hearing that Feng Xiaoxiao was only pestering Wei Zhao to learn to drive, Gu Mengyao naturally lost interest.
Gao Xiaofu's face was growing worse by the moment, until at last he could bear it no longer. "Brother Liang, I can't hold out. I'm going to be sick!"
