Chapter 1008 — As a Reward

Though Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao were singing, it was plain to see that the two of them were really locked in a contest. Whatever song Shen Yushu sang, Feng Xiaoxiao sang too, and then threw in one more besides; and Shen Yushu in turn went and sang the songs Feng Xiaoxiao had picked. The two of them were like a relay race, leaving Gu Mengyao not so much as a gap to squeeze into!
At last the pair of them were too worn out to sing another note, and only then did the group get ready to leave the KTV.
"I'll let you off today. Another day we'll fight three hundred rounds!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, glaring at Shen Yushu.
"Challenge accepted, any time. Standing in front of me — Singing Shu — you're so weak it's embarrassing!" Shen Yushu shot back.
Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi exchanged a glance and could not help but smile bitterly. Each took one of them, and between them they pulled Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao apart.
Wei Zhao settled the bill at the bar on the ground floor. He could easily have called Zou Tiandi, and Zou Tiandi would have been only too happy to comp him, but it was not much money and Wei Zhao had no wish to go to the trouble. He paid on the spot, then left the KTV with Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao.
Uncle Qing's car had not left; it was still parked at the KTV entrance. Clearly, though Uncle Qing had lost his strength, he was still a dutiful, conscientious driver.
"Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, you two take Uncle Qing's car home first. I'll see Yunyun and Xiaoxiao back," Wei Zhao said to the Eldest Miss.
"Mm." The Eldest Miss nodded. She wanted Wei Zhao home early, because she meant to ask him what was really going on with Feng Xiaoxiao; but the words came to her lips and would not come out, and she could only press her mouth shut and let it go.
Shen Yushu, though, was still glaring at Feng Xiaoxiao, cheeks puffed with anger. She had not yet settled the score with her!
Wei Zhao got into the Beetle with Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao. He started the engine and asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you going back to the school to pick up your car, or shall I drive you home?"
"Drive me home, and come pick me up tomorrow morning, would you?" Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Zhao imploringly.
"I have to pick up Tang Zhi in the morning. Take a taxi." Wei Zhao said flatly.
"Oh, come on, can't you just pick me up on the way? I'm your little wife — you can't play favorites!" Feng Xiaoxiao had plainly long since cast herself as Wei Zhao's little wife; even Tang Zhi had acknowledged it, which only made her bolder.
Ordinarily, if Feng Xiaoxiao had wheedled at Wei Zhao like that in front of Tang Zhi, Tang Zhi would certainly have been displeased; even if she said nothing, she would surely have felt wretched. But after learning of Feng Xiaoxiao's illness, her whole outlook had changed, and she even sincerely hoped that Feng Xiaoxiao might be happy in these last days.
So no matter what Feng Xiaoxiao did, Tang Zhi kept a tolerant heart. She reminded herself constantly that she must truly accept Feng Xiaoxiao, must treat her as Wei Zhao's woman, as her own sister.
"Where's your home?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Not far from the school at all, very close, just up ahead on Ningshi Road," Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"Oh. Then tomorrow only — and not a precedent." Wei Zhao nodded and agreed. Ningshi Road really was not far; it was on the way.
"Wei Zhao, you're so good. I've decided to kiss you, as a reward!" Seeing Wei Zhao agree, Feng Xiaoxiao cried out in delight.
"Is that a reward, or are you just trying to take advantage of Wei Zhao?" Tang Zhi said, looking at Feng Xiaoxiao with a half-smile.
