Chapter 1148 — Who's Scaring Whom? Although Wei Zhao had declared his feelings to Tang Zhi more than once, Tang Zhi always felt Wei Zhao was too outstanding, and she could never set her mind at ease! Especially when she could be of no help to him at all, Tang Zhi felt all the more that she was nothing but a vase — pretty to look at and useless for anything else.

"Let's not talk about that..." Gu Mengyao shook her head. "It's already May 1st. There's only a month left before the college entrance exams. Tang Zhi, which university do you want to apply to?"
"I don't know either." Tang Zhi shook her head. "But whichever one Wei Zhao applies to, I'll apply to that one too. What about you two?"
"Us..." Gu Mengyao pressed her lips together. In her heart, of course, she wanted to be at the same university as Wei Zhao — but she had just declared that she didn't like him. If she didn't like him, then what was she doing tagging along after him?
"How about we all apply to the same university? We're all good friends, and that way we can look after each other in the future?" A faint ache stirred in Tang Zhi's heart: so Gu Mengyao really did have feelings for Wei Zhao after all! But Tang Zhi was not the sort who liked to use petty tricks to strike down a rival; if she was going to do a thing, she would do it openly and honestly. So the moment she saw through Gu Mengyao's feelings, she took the initiative and made the invitation herself.
"Mm, that works too. I don't have many friends... apart from Xiaoshu, there's only you and Wei Zhao..." The tension drained from Gu Mengyao's face as she nodded.
"So what do you think Wei Zhao and Xiaoxiao are doing right now?" Shen Yushu suddenly asked.
"How would we know?" The young miss frowned. Wei Zhao doing that kind of thing with another girl — no matter how she turned it over in her mind, it left Gu Mengyao feeling uneasy. Even though Feng Xiaoxiao was dying, she was still a little conflicted about it.
Of course, it was only a conflict. Rationally, she still supported Feng Xiaoxiao and Wei Zhao being together.
"Oh, so do you two need me, Spy Shu, to infiltrate and scout it out for you, see what they're doing?" Shen Yushu peeked outside the tent, sneaky as a thief, and made the suggestion.
"If you want to go look, then go. It's not like we're the ones sending you..." With that said, Gu Mengyao wanted to know what Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were doing too, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.
"I don't know... I'm staying out of this." Tang Zhi shook her head.
"Oh, then I'll go and be right back." Shen Yushu could hardly wait. With a temperament like hers, if she didn't go peek right now, she wouldn't be Shen Yushu!
Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi exchanged a glance. Tang Zhi was in fact the one who cared most about Wei Zhao, but since she already knew what they might be doing and had come to accept it in her heart, whether she went to look or not no longer made any difference.
As for Gu Mengyao, she certainly couldn't go along with Shen Yushu and join in the fun. If she did, wouldn't that be proof that she cared about Wei Zhao? As if she cared about him!
Shen Yushu tiptoed out of the tent and crept furtively toward Wei Zhao's tent.
Su Taizao had already put on a black raincoat and pulled rubber gloves onto his hands, and, his heart pounding with terror, he headed toward Gu Mengyao's tent!
An Liwen was ready and waiting. The very instant Gu Mengyao screamed, he would leap out to save her! In his view, Wei Zhao and that Feng girl were certainly in there doing the dirty deed, and if Gu Mengyao cried for help at a time like that, Wei Zhao would have no attention to spare for anything else — so the noble burden of saving the beauty would fall squarely on him!
Su Taizao was frightened out of his wits. Even though he was the one playing ghost, what scared him even more was running into a real ghost! He was only a fake ghost, and he knew it perfectly well. In this pitch-black darkness, if he happened to meet a real one, he'd be in a world of shit.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please, whatever you do, don't let me run into a ghost!" Su Taizao chanted as he walked on...
The moment Shen Yushu came out of the tent, she caught sight of a black shadow slipping out of the tent where An Liwen was, shifty and furtive, clearly up to no good.
