Chapter 2497 — The Bug

"I'm thinking of going to discuss it with Han Jingyi. She likes fiddling with high-tech gadgets—let's see if she's got a ** or something. If we plant one on Zhong Yongliang, we can eavesdrop on his secrets," Shen Yushu said.
"That works." Gu Mengyao nodded.
So, while Zhong Yongliang was off buying spicy skewers, Shen Yushu went to find Han Jingyi.
Han Jingyi didn't have such a thing on hand, but she knew where to buy one. That afternoon, Gu Mengyao drove Han Jingyi and Xiaoshu out to buy the **, and when they got back, Zhong Yongliang had just returned as well...
Gu Mengyao silently counted her blessings—if Zhong Yongliang had seen that they weren't at school, he might have grown suspicious.
In truth, this was purely a guilty conscience on Gu Mengyao's part. Even if she hadn't been at school, Zhong Yongliang couldn't have suspected anything. Xiaoshu, though, was perfectly natural. Holding the miniature ** in her hand, she walked up to Zhong Yongliang as if nothing were amiss, took the steaming hot spicy skewers from him, and said with a slight smile, "Little Liangzi, thank you!"
"Haha, no need to thank me—it's what I should do!" Zhong Yongliang said. "I'll just treat it as a rehearsal for what I'll do as Yaoyao's bodyguard!"
"Mm, not bad—still hot!" Shen Yushu patted Zhong Yongliang on the shoulder and, in the same motion, stuck the ** to his back. The ** was tiny, clinging to him like a shirt button; unless you looked closely, you'd absolutely never notice it. "Sister Yaoyao wanted me to encourage you a bit—keep it up! Little Liangzi, you know Sister Yaoyao likes brave people!"
"I know, I know!" Zhong Yongliang, patted on the shoulder by Shen Yushu, thought it was Gu Mengyao's instruction and was thrilled, his excitement boundless! After all, in the past Shen Yushu had mostly toyed with him—she had never patted his shoulder with such warmth!
That change was enough to show a change in Gu Mengyao's heart. If she were still as disgusted with him as before, she could never have hinted to Shen Yushu to come pat his shoulder and encourage him. In Zhong Yongliang's eyes, Shen Yushu had always looked down on him; she had never been so kind.
"Mm, good that you know." Shen Yushu nodded. "There are some things Sister Yaoyao is too embarrassed to say, so I'll pass them on for her. Want to hear?"
"Yes, yes, of course I want to hear!" Zhong Yongliang answered hastily.
"Good. Since you want to hear it, I'll say it. Right now we've only seen a part of what you can do—to put it precisely, we don't really know you yet. So, for the time being, do your best to challenge some formidable fighters and make a name and reputation for yourself. Only then will you have a shot at becoming Sister Yaoyao's bodyguard!" Shen Yushu said.
