Chapter 2386 — Girlfriend

Even though Wang Xinyan was not in danger of exposing herself now, she could hardly keep walking around wrapped in a bedsheet forever, could she? It was just too bizarre.
"I've got some things for you, Xinyan. Go upstairs and change. We're about the same size, so my clothes should fit you." Gu Mengyao had anticipated this situation and already laid out a new set of clothes in the upstairs bedroom.
"Thank you." Wang Xinyan nodded to Gu Mengyao.
"We're the ones who should be thanking you. This time, with Wei Zhao, we owe you so much!" Gu Mengyao said.
"Wei Zhao is my friend too. It's nothing." Wang Xinyan shook her head and quickly followed Gu Mengyao upstairs.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Wu Chengtian, Pi Zhifeng, Pi Zhitao, and even Old Master Pi and Wu Gonggao were all consumed with curiosity as to why Wei Zhao had summoned Wang Xinyan to help him heal, but they knew better than to ask such a question, and could only pretend they knew nothing at all.
"Phew..." Once inside Gu Mengyao's bedroom, Wang Xinyan collapsed onto the bed, staggering as she sat down. Her whole body felt utterly drained; her face was flushed a frightening shade of red, and her heart was pounding so hard it seemed it might give out at any moment...
"Ooh, Sister Xinyan, did it feel good? Won't you share the experience with us?" Shen Yushu had followed Wang Xinyan into the bedroom and now asked with a sly, mischievous grin.
"What?" Wang Xinyan had not yet recovered from her nerves, and Shen Yushu's question gave her quite a start. "What felt good?"
"The taste of XO, of course! Didn't Chewing Gum Bro just now ask you for some XO?" Shen Yushu looked Wang Xinyan up and down, hoping to find some telltale flaw in her.
"Ah..." Only then did Wang Xinyan understand what Shen Yushu meant. So she had been misunderstood... But then again, anyone would let their imagination run wild. After all, Wei Zhao had said he needed her, so it was only natural for Shen Yushu to get the wrong idea... Only, she had no idea how to explain it. Wang Xinyan did not know whether Wei Zhao being able to cultivate by holding her counted as a secret, or whether she was allowed to tell Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. So she suddenly hesitated...
"Xiaoshu, stop guessing wildly. There should be nothing going on between Wang Xinyan and Wei Zhao." Gu Mengyao studied Wang Xinyan and decided she did not look like someone who had just been pushed down—at the very least, she was walking normally. And if she had been pushed down, she would be in Wei Zhao's room right now, not rushing out in such a fluster.
"Oh..." Shen Yushu had really only been joking around. Hearing Gu Mengyao tell her not to pry any further, she asked more normally, "Sister Xinyan, what did Chewing Gum Bro need you for, anyway?"
"That... I'd better wait until Wei Zhao comes out and let him tell you himself. I don't know whether I'm allowed to say..." Wang Xinyan said with some difficulty.
"Mm, then we'll wait for Wei Zhao to explain." Gu Mengyao could tell that Wang Xinyan seemed to have something she could not bring herself to say. She stopped pressing and said, "I've prepared the clothes for you. But you probably didn't finish your shower earlier, did you? The bathroom in the room can be used directly. You go ahead and shower; Xiaoshu and I will head downstairs first."
"All right, thank you..." Relieved that Gu Mengyao was no longer pressing her for answers, Wang Xinyan let out a breath and nodded.
Gu Mengyao pulled Shen Yushu downstairs, and Wang Xinyan walked toward the bathroom. She did need to wash up, because the bloodstains from Wei Zhao's body had rubbed off onto her earlier, and they were rather alarming to look at.
Wei Zhao had changed into a new set of clothes. When he stepped out of his room, he happened to see Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu coming downstairs, but Wang Xinyan was nowhere in sight, so he asked, "Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, where's Xinyan?"
