護花近衛 - 第2899章 我幫你打 - 清風書屋

"Uh... I see..." Zhao Qibing sounded rather disappointed. "Has Wei Zhao been in touch with you, then?"

"If there's something you need, go ask Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. I really don't know anything." For one thing, Wang Xinyan did not dare to speak carelessly; for another, she genuinely had no idea how Wei Zhao was doing.

"Go find them, huh..." The corners of Zhao Qibing's mouth twitched twice. Gu Mengyao was one thing, but the mere thought of Shen Yushu brought his own skyscraper to mind—the girl had wanted to watch the building collapse, and collapse it did. Ever since then, Zhao Qibing had been left with a psychological scar.

"I'm going to read now. Suit yourself." Wang Xinyan had no wish to talk with Zhao Qibing any further; she picked up a book and lowered her head.

Zhao Qibing had no choice but to head for the Economics Department in search of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.

But Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were nowhere near as easy to find as Wang Xinyan. For one thing, Zhao Qibing had no idea where their classes were held; university classrooms had no fixed class plaques, unlike the Biomedical and Pharmaceutical program, which had only a single cohort and always met in the same room.

So Zhao Qibing first went to the Economics Department's faculty building and obtained the course schedule, then matched it against the timetable to locate the class in session. By the time he found it, the period was nearly over.

Still, that was just as well—once class let out, he would have more time to ask his questions.

Watching Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu walk out of the classroom hand in hand, Zhao Qibing hurried over. "Miss Gu, Miss Chen, it's been ages!"

"Zhao Qibing?" Gu Mengyao was quite surprised to see him there, and had no idea what he had come for. "What are you doing here?"

"Miss Gu, it's like this—I have a bit of business with Wei Zhao. Do you know how to get in touch with him?" Zhao Qibing came straight to the point.

"What do you want with Chewing Gum Bro?" Shen Yushu answered on Gu Mengyao's behalf, turning the question back on him.

The last person Zhao Qibing wanted to talk to was Shen Yushu. He had deliberately addressed Gu Mengyao earlier precisely to avoid conversing with Shen Yushu—and now, sure enough, Shen Yushu had picked up the thread.

"It's like this: I asked Wei Zhao to break my leg for me, and he agreed," Zhao Qibing said. "But it's been so long, and he still hasn't made good on it!"

"Oh?" Shen Yushu gave a little snort, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"You don't believe me? It's true. Before he went off to the trials, he made a special trip to our Hidden Zhao family, but I wasn't home at the time and missed him. So the moment I got back, I came looking for him first thing." Zhao Qibing was making it all up.

"When did I ever say I didn't believe you?" Shen Yushu countered.

"Uh... then what you mean is..." Zhao Qibing eyed Shen Yushu hesitantly.

"Before Chewing Gum Bro left, he actually made all the arrangements. He said if you came looking to have your leg broken, I should do it in his place." Shen Yushu spoke with the utmost seriousness.

"You?" Zhao Qibing did not quite believe it. He was no fool—he wasn't about to take every word out of Shen Yushu's mouth at face value. So he asked, "Really?"

"You don't believe me?" Shen Yushu narrowed her eyes and tossed his own words right back at him.

"It's not that I don't believe you—what I mean is, Wei Zhao may well have instructed you, but... do you actually know how to do it?" Zhao Qibing did not dare offend Shen Yushu, so he could only answer with a bitter smile.

"Damn, of course I do!" Shen Yushu planted her hands on her hips. "Chewing Gum Bro taught me all his techniques. I'm a professional leg-breaker now!"

"Uh... never mind, I won't trouble you after all. Let's wait a few days until Wei Zhao gets back..." Zhao Qibing did not dare trust Shen Yushu's skill—this was no joking matter.
