"All right, all right, I'll tell you..." With that, Shen Yushu leaned over and planted a smacking kiss right on Gu Mengyao's lips. Then, while Gu Mengyao sat there stunned and utterly bewildered, she said triumphantly, "It's just like this — now you know, right?"
Gu Mengyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How can you and Wei Zhao possibly be the same thing?"
"Hey, Yao Yao jie, you'd better go try it yourself — I really can't put it into words..." Shen Yushu dropped the teasing and said earnestly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Gu Mengyao waved her hand. "Xiaoshu, do you really like Wei Zhao?"
"Oh?" Shen Yushu started playing dumb again.
"What 'oh, oh, oh'? Answer me!" Gu Mengyao demanded sharply.
"Of course I like him. Don't you like him too, Yao Yao jie?" Shen Yushu said with perfect seriousness.
"I... don't drag me into this!" Gu Mengyao said. "Right now I'm asking about you. We'll deal with my business later."
"Then yes, I do like him," Shen Yushu nodded.
"But have you ever considered that Wei Zhao already has Tang Zhi around him, not to mention Feng Xiaoxiao?" This question seemed aimed at Shen Yushu, but even more at herself — it was a question Gu Mengyao had been agonizing over for a long time.
If... and it was only an if — if she hadn't rejected him so harshly back then, might she have become his girlfriend? Gu Mengyao posed the hypothetical to herself in her mind, but found no answer, because there was no "if" in what had already happened. What was past was past; an "if" served no purpose now.
"So what if there's one more person — me?" Shen Yushu didn't seem to have grasped the point at all.
"Won't you get jealous?" Gu Mengyao had no choice but to ask more plainly.
"Jealous?" Shen Yushu shook her head in puzzlement. "If I were the jealous type, how could I let you be the first wife, Yao Yao jie?"
"..." Faced with Shen Yushu's thoroughly chaotic answer, Gu Mengyao felt it was simply impossible to communicate with her. Sometimes the girl seemed sharper than anyone alive; yet other times, on any matter she had no desire to understand, no matter how you explained it, she could always steer the conversation off to something else entirely.
Sometimes, Gu Mengyao actually admired Shen Yushu for exactly this. The girl was no simple character — whatever she wanted to consider, she would consider; whatever she didn't, she wouldn't think about for even a second.
"Yao Yao jie, I actually understand everything you're saying..." Shen Yushu suddenly changed her tone, dropping her earlier playful manner as she spoke to Gu Mengyao. "But thinking too much is its own kind of suffering. Tomorrow's troubles will arrive tomorrow — why worry about what tomorrow holds? As long as today is happy, that's enough. I don't want to think about so much..."
"But... what about your future? Will it really be as you say — Tang Zhi as the first wife, and you and Xiaoxiao both as second wives?" Gu Mengyao felt a little dizzy at the thought. And what, exactly, would her own position be when that day came?
"The future? That's too far away..." Shen Yushu sighed, then broke into a grin. "I'm not going to think about it — hehe..."
