Chapter 1011 — Still Likes the Silly One: Tang Zhi Hid Nothing and Told Wei Zhao in Full Detail What She Had Said to Feng Xiaoxiao and the Agreement They Had Reached
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The reason Wei Zhao said Shen Yushu had noticed something wrong with Feng Xiaoxiao long ago was because of Shen Yushu's attitude toward Feng Xiaoxiao. Although the two bickered, it had never developed into any real attack or scheming, and with Xiaoshu's character, she would never cooperate with someone she disliked to play a trick on someone else.
"Oh, that's good." Shen Yushu cheered up again. "Shield Brother, what is really going on with that Feng Xiaoxiao?"
The reason Shen Yushu was happy was that she felt Feng Xiaoxiao was just a 'not-silly version' of herself, but since Wei Zhao said he still liked her silly self, that meant he liked her more than Feng Xiaoxiao, and of course she was overjoyed.
"Let me tell you about Xiaoxiao, but you must keep it secret." Wei Zhao nodded as he instructed Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
"Don't worry. My nickname is Secrecy Shu. What I must not say, I will never say even if I am beaten to death." Shen Yushu nodded hastily.
Gu Mengyao said nothing, but she nodded along to show she would keep the secret.
"Xiaoxiao... does not have much time left..." Wei Zhao sighed as he sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
"Ah? Not much time left?" Gu Mengyao was slightly stunned, then her expression changed. "Wei Zhao, do you mean Feng Xiaoxiao is..."
"That's right. Xiaoxiao has a terminal illness, and even I am helpless against it... In at most a year, she will come to the end of her life!" Wei Zhao said with a sigh.
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both widened their eyes and stared at Wei Zhao in astonishment.
Wei Zhao continued, "Xiaoxiao's father and I are... very good friends, so he begged me, saying Xiaoxiao has never tasted what love feels like, and he wanted me to promise him to play along with Feng Xiaoxiao and be Xiaoxiao's pretend boyfriend until the day she quietly leaves..."
As he spoke, Wei Zhao told Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in detail what had happened that afternoon. "And Yunyun is very kind, so she agreed first..."
"Tang Zhi agreed on her own?" Gu Mengyao was somewhat surprised. She had not expected Tang Zhi to be so kind as to willingly give Wei Zhao up...
"Mm." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Sister Yaoyao, then Feng Xiaoxiao is so pitiful!" Shen Yushu rather regretted having confronted Feng Xiaoxiao today. The girl was about to die, so why had she bothered to argue with her? Wei Zhao could stay by her side for a lifetime, but what about Feng Xiaoxiao? She probably had at most a year left!
"Yes... I really never thought Feng Xiaoxiao would have a hereditary terminal illness..." Gu Mengyao sighed. "No wonder Tang Zhi would accept her..."
"I have told you everything I should. I hope you can keep it secret for me. After all, this is being kept from Xiaoxiao." Wei Zhao said, "Xiaoxiao is a girl with very strong pride. If she finds out that I know about her illness, she will probably think I am with her only out of sympathy and pity, and that would cause trouble!"
