Chapter 959 — No Longer Needed

"Yeah, I miss Paozi too. It's been so long since I've seen him—I really do miss those days when the three of us were together!" Gao Xiaofu sighed. "Back then Wei Zhao hadn't shown up yet, and the three of us ran wild all over campus. Those days—man, they were sweet!"
"Hmph! If Wei Zhao hadn't come along, we'd still be a pack of spoiled brats who knew nothing. What future would we ever have had?" Zhong Yongliang said scornfully. "Wei Zhao is the one who changed me. All that endless fighting against him forced me to keep improving myself, to finally beat him—and only then will we go on to greater things, to stand at the summit of this world!"
"Liang-ge, you've really thought it all through. You're bound to become somebody famous one day!" Gao Xiaofu said.
"It's far too early to talk about that. Come on, let's head back to the classroom and just pretend we never saw Wei Zhao." Zhong Yongliang waved a hand, speaking with modesty.
Wei Zhao parked the car at the snack street behind the school and walked briskly onto campus, dialing Tang Zhi's number as he went.
"Yun-yun, where are you?" Wei Zhao asked once the call went through.
"In the classroom reading. There isn't much time left for me here at school—I'll miss it later..." Tang Zhi gave a light laugh. "Are you at school? Want me to come out and meet you?"
"Yeah, I'll wait for you downstairs by the teaching building." Wei Zhao sighed inwardly. He wondered whether Tang Zhi would be unhappy once she learned the truth.
It was the first time Wei Zhao had cared so much about what a girl might think, and it left him—ordinarily so composed—feeling rather melancholy.
The school was the same as ever. It was the lunch break, and students were bustling noisily about the playground. Zou Ruoming was still out there shooting hoops not far off with his pack of running dogs, and Zhong Yongliang was still thick as thieves with Gao Xiaofu. Familiar faces and unfamiliar ones, all of them.
Wei Zhao leaned sidelong against the flowerbed in front of the teaching building, quietly waiting for Tang Zhi.
Before long, Tang Zhi's figure appeared at the doorway of the teaching building. Just as always, she was neatly turned out in her school uniform. It wasn't that she couldn't afford clothes these days—she was simply always like this, and Wei Zhao liked her this way all the more, unchanged despite how much money he had given her family.
When Tang Zhi saw Wei Zhao, the corners of her mouth curved upward into a lovely arc, and she came running over quickly, her chest trembling faintly with the motion. Wei Zhao was momentarily startled. It had been a while—had her breasts grown fuller again?
Had she developed again? Wei Zhao wanted to ask, but couldn't bring himself to say it aloud. As it happened, he had guessed right... she had recently begun working at breast enhancement.
After being teased and needled time and again by Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi had said nothing on the surface, yet deep down she had quietly made up her mind. Every meal, she added papaya milk—and unexpectedly, without her even noticing, it had had some effect.
It made Tang Zhi very happy! Though she was soon to return to Wei Zhao's hometown with him, and might never see Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu again in this lifetime, she still wanted to make herself a little more perfect.
"You really haven't left yet?" Seeing Wei Zhao, Tang Zhi was delighted, but her eyes still held a thick, unmistakable worry.
"Yeah, I haven't left..." Wei Zhao took her small hand out of habit. "Let's talk while we walk."
"Mhm..." Tang Zhi's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't pull away. She had already given her heart to Wei Zhao, and had grown used to the occasional intimacy with him, even in front of everyone.
