Chapter 756 — We Are Friends
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
For a moment, a small happiness welled up inside Gu Mengyao. He thought of her as a friend? And was that why he had stayed on in the villa?
In fact, Gu Mengyao did not realize that Wei Zhao's mission had little to do with money. The real reason he had accepted it was that the old man at home had promised him he could retire once it was finished.
Wei Zhao had genuinely grown weary of his restless, rootless years. He wanted to settle down.
"Enough of that—Xiaoyi, eat up. Everyone's hungry. There are no rules at a family banquet; just eat until you're full." As he spoke, Gu Pengzhan picked up a piece of meat himself, put it in his mouth, and began chewing with gusto.
Wei Zhao was hungry too and was about to start eating when he noticed, with a start, a cream steamed bun on the plate before him—complete with a row of bite marks and a trace of saliva.
Was this... the steamed bun Shen Yushu had just bitten into? The eldest miss had pulled it out and tossed it onto her own plate?
Wei Zhao, of course, would not hold it against Shen Yushu. He had already given her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, so what was one more thing between them? Besides, Shen Yushu was quite endearing, and Wei Zhao did feel a certain fondness for her. So without hesitation, he picked up the bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
"That's..." Gu Mengyao had been watching Wei Zhao out of the corner of her eye, and when she suddenly saw him pop the bun Shen Yushu had bitten into his mouth, she meant to warn him, but it was already too late.
Seeing that Wei Zhao had already swallowed it, Gu Mengyao knew saying anything now would be pointless. She shook her head. Wei Zhao had eaten Little Shu's saliva? Did that count as an indirect kiss too? Indirect? These two had long since kissed directly, hadn't they?
They had even done mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, so what was an indirect kiss on top of that?
This Little Shu really was careless... Hm? A question suddenly struck Gu Mengyao. Little Shu's attitude toward Wei Zhao really did seem... somewhat different?
From childhood to now, Little Shu had treated other boys with nothing but pranks. Any boy who liked Shen Yushu was bound to learn just how miserable life could be; he would either be pranked half to death or beaten half to death by Chen Yuxuan.
But it seemed Little Shu had never pranked Wei Zhao? In fact, she got along with him quite well? Gu Mengyao had to admit that when the two of them ganged up to prank others, they were quite the matched pair, a perfect duo...
Could it be that Little Shu really had fallen for Wei Zhao? The more Gu Mengyao thought about it, the more likely it seemed! Little Shu was obviously different with Wei Zhao than with other boys. She had never given it much thought before, but now that she considered it carefully, she could see the problem plain as day...
Only, Gu Mengyao was still not entirely certain. Was it different because Shen Yushu felt she could not prank Wei Zhao and was simply happy to have him as a pranking partner? Or was it... truly something else?
