Chapter 813 — Ambushing Wei Zhao
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Huh?" Shen Yushu hadn't expected Wei Zhao to be so lucky—to dodge at the very instant the water was about to hit him! She had been secretly observing him the whole time, and she'd noticed that Wei Zhao weeded in a regular pattern: after moving to a new spot, he would stay there weeding for a while, and that interval was about five minutes.
But who would have thought that this time Wei Zhao would shorten his weeding time—only three minutes!
"What's going on?" Wei Zhao turned his head and looked at Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao with a puzzled expression. "What are you two doing?"
"It's nothing. Xiao Shu was trying to spray a bit higher up the wall and didn't quite get the force right," Gu Mengyao explained nervously upon hearing Wei Zhao's question.
"Oh," Wei Zhao nodded, said nothing more, and turned back to his weeding.
Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare, thinking: You're the one who stirred up this mess, and I'm the one who has to cover for you?
Shen Yushu stuck out her tongue. "I didn't aim properly this time. It won't happen next time..."
Gu Mengyao said nothing and went back to spraying the wall.
Shen Yushu, meanwhile, kept spraying while studying Wei Zhao out of the corner of her eye.
This time Shen Yushu gave Wei Zhao no advance "warning." She didn't bother with the sort of excuse she'd used before—saying the wall over there looked a little dirty to justify herself—but instead abruptly swung the water gun around and fired straight at Wei Zhao.
But as luck would have it, Wei Zhao happened to crouch down just then, as if to check how well the lawn beneath him had been trimmed, and the spray swept harmlessly over him.
The stream of water passed right over the top of Wei Zhao's head; only a few drops landed on his back, with hardly any effect at all.
"Eh?!" Shen Yushu was startled. How was that possible? Arrow-Brand Bro had dodged it again? But how could it be such a coincidence? "Arrow-Brand Bro sure is lucky!"
Gu Mengyao frowned. She had probably sensed something—perhaps Wei Zhao had done it on purpose. Given his skill, dodging a spray of water like that would be child's play. So she said, "That's enough, Xiao Shu. Stop fooling around."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu was a little unconvinced, but with Gu Mengyao saying so, there was nothing she could do but nod.
After a while, Shen Yushu grew restless again. She refused to believe it was a coincidence every time, that Wei Zhao could always dodge her water gun, so she kept secretly watching him. Before long she finally found another opening—she saw Wei Zhao turn around and start weeding a different section of the lawn.
Shen Yushu felt her chance had come at last. Surely Wei Zhao couldn't have eyes in the back of his head?
She gritted her teeth and suddenly swung the water gun around again, firing at Wei Zhao. This time, to keep him from dodging by accident again, she chose to sweep up and down and left and right in every direction. She refused to believe that even a broad spray like this couldn't hit him!
