Chapter 2528 — Challenge Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wang Xinyan thought about it and supposed he was right. How could Wei Zhao be that sort of person? She had let her worry get the better of her. She was not afraid that Wei Zhao would go around boasting that he had slept with her—what she feared was the news reaching Kang Jinglong's ears, and Kang Jinglong appealing to the Xuandan Sect to move against Wei Zhao...
After all, sleeping side by side during military training had been with clothes on and with plenty of classmates nearby. But sleeping at Wei Zhao's villa was a different matter entirely—who would believe nothing had happened between them?
"You're right, I was overthinking it..." Wang Xinyan nodded. "But after that sleep, I feel much better."
"Then come sleep here again tonight," Wei Zhao invited.
"I... I'm already better, aren't I..." Hearing Wei Zhao's blatant invitation, Wang Xinyan's heart immediately fluttered into chaos.
"I bought a full course of the medicine. We need to consolidate the effect. Your constitution is weak—it's not an illness," Wei Zhao said with perfect seriousness.
"Then... all right. But how long will it take? It can't be too long. If I'm always away from the dorm, Meiyue and Xiaoling are bound to get suspicious..." Wang Xinyan hesitated for a moment, then agreed, though she was still a little worried.
"Only about a week..." Wei Zhao said with some regret. Wang Xinyan still could not let herself go; evidently her misgivings had not been dispelled.
"That works..." Wang Xinyan nodded, which counted as her agreement.
"Then I'll go make breakfast. Sleep a little longer," Wei Zhao said, rising to his feet.
"Do you need my help?" Wang Xinyan asked.
"No need." Wei Zhao smiled and walked out of the room.
Wei Zhao was an old hand at making breakfast. With Granny Sun and Uncle Qing gone, he had once again become the young lady's personal male servant... mm, now he was the personal male servant of four young ladies, Han Jingyi included.
When breakfast was ready, Wei Zhao called Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu downstairs to eat, then phoned Han Jingyi to bring Han Xiaochao over and join them.
"Xiaoshu is about to starve flat! I didn't eat a thing last night, you know. Sister Yaoyao is so mean—I was starving to death in the middle of the night and wanted to ask Arrow Brand Bro to fix me something to eat, but Sister Yaoyao wouldn't allow it and forced me to sleep, telling me that once I fell asleep I wouldn't be hungry anymore. Boo hoo hoo hoo..." Shen Yushu catalogued Gu Mengyao's crimes all the way down the stairs.
"Pfft..." Wei Zhao had not expected the young lady to have such a comical side. Once you fall asleep you won't be hungry anymore? Ha...
"And so Xiaoshu dreamed all night long about a piece of grilled shark meat right in front of me, but I just couldn't eat it—no matter what, I couldn't eat it..." Shen Yushu plopped down at the dining table, grabbed a fried pancake, and began devouring it. "It's not as tasty as shark meat, but it's not bad at all. Arrow Brand Bro's breakfast is always delicious..."
"Can't you shut your mouth with food in it?" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare. "If you're hungry, hurry up and eat. All this dawdling—you sound like an old granny!"
"..." Shen Yushu fell silent and set about demolishing the food before her.
Only then did Wang Xinyan realize that this villa was simply brimming with joy. Shen Yushu was a regular little ray of sunshine—a few casual words from her were enough to make anyone split their sides laughing.
Soon Han Jingyi arrived with Han Xiaochao. Wang Xinyan's presence here surprised Han Jingyi somewhat, but she did not ask about it.
After breakfast, the six of them headed to school together in Wei Zhao's seven-seat Grand Cherokee. What Wei Zhao had not expected was that, early in the morning in the parking lot, he would run into someone he had no wish to see—Zhong Yongliang!
