Chapter 2384 — What a Coincidence
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Brother Arrowhead really needs you right now. He can't hold on much longer—there's no time!" Shen Yushu had no idea why Wei Zhao was in such a desperate hurry to find Wang Xinyan, but to make her move faster she began spinning wild explanations of her own.
"Can't hold on?" Wang Xinyan was startled. "What do you mean, he can't hold on? What happened to him?"
"Oh, there's no time to explain it all in a few words—just come with us, quick!" Shen Yushu said, pushing at Wang Xinyan's back.
"At least let me put some clothes on!" Wang Xinyan said with a helpless smile.
"No time! Sister Yaoyao, give me a hand, quick!" Shen Yushu waved Gu Mengyao over.
Gu Mengyao had no wish to join Shen Yushu's nonsense, but getting Wang Xinyan dressed right now would waste a great deal of time. So she simply snatched up a cotton-padded coat from the rack that looked like it belonged to Wang Xinyan, draped it over her shoulders, and joined Shen Yushu in pushing her toward the door.
Wang Xinyan was completely at a loss. If she had not known that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu could not possibly be kidnappers, she would have thought she was being abducted again.
But seeing how frantic they were, Wei Zhao must truly have run into some kind of trouble. Wang Xinyan did not insist, and so—the coat flung over her shoulders and a bedsheet wrapped around her—she was pushed out of the dormitory by the two of them and down the stairs.
It was not as though she would be indecently exposed, for the bedsheet wrapped her from head to foot, tight and snug, but it still drew a great many strange looks from her fellow students. Yet there was no explaining it now. She left the women's dormitory with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu and climbed straight into the Grand Cherokee.
Wu Chengtian stared a moment at Wang Xinyan dressed as she was, but said nothing. He started the car and drove straight back to the villa in the Xueshang residential compound.
"Now will the two of you please tell me what on earth happened to Wei Zhao?" Wang Xinyan was thoroughly exasperated. What kind of spectacle was this—naked beneath a bedsheet? She felt like a mistress caught in the act and fleeing the scene.
"We don't know either..." Gu Mengyao shrugged apologetically.
"What?" Wang Xinyan was dumbstruck. If you don't know, she thought, then why drag me out here in such a hurry?
"Before this, Wei Zhao ran into an enemy and was badly hurt. After he got home he shut himself in his room to heal. But then he suddenly called Wu Chengtian in and said he needed you badly, that we were to fetch you at once," Gu Mengyao explained. "That is all we know. We have no idea what he wants with you, but he certainly sounded desperate."
"I see..." Wang Xinyan was slightly taken aback, and it seemed she had guessed something. Could it be that Wei Zhao's healing had failed and he needed the scent of her body to help him? At that thought her pretty face flushed crimson...
"Sister Xinyan, you had better be careful. Brother Arrowhead might be in heat," Shen Yushu said.
"Ah!" Wang Xinyan thought of what she was wearing, and her face burned even redder. Letting Wei Zhao inhale the fragrance of her body while he cultivated and healed was shameful enough; now she was wearing nothing at all...
Seeing her blush, Shen Yushu assumed Wang Xinyan had taken her words to heart, and a sly grin crept across her face. "Sister Xinyan, now that you are Brother Arrowhead's woman, you must get along with Sister Yaoyao. You can't bully her!"
"?" Wang Xinyan was only more baffled by Xiaoshu's muddled, nonsensical talk.
"Xiaoshu, stop talking nonsense. What does any of this have to do with me?" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu.
"I just don't want Sister Yaoyao to be bullied from now on... all alone against the world..." Shen Yushu muttered, and said no more.
