Chapter 3704 — Don't Tell Anyone
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This was the first time in all her life she had ever had intimate contact with a boy—and she had been the one to kiss Wei Zhao, no less! If anyone were to learn of it, she would simply die of shame!
"Yes, yes—I'll pretend nothing ever happened," Wei Zhao said, nodding again and again in full cooperation.
His thoughts, however... had drifted to Gu Mengyao. Seeing Shangguan Lan'er made him involuntarily think of that young lady; back when he had first gone to Songshan City, an indirect kiss had likewise come out of nowhere!
Only, the reactions of the two young ladies had been utterly different. Gu Mengyao had retched herself half to death, while Shangguan Lan'er had instead threatened him to keep his mouth shut!
This sent Wei Zhao into a momentary daze...
"Right, right—nothing ever happened!" Shangguan Lan'er hurriedly agreed, then turned and glared at the little curly-furred bear, baring a row of pearly teeth. "I'll deal with you when we get back!"
But the little curly-furred bear just sat atop Wei Zhao's head amusing itself, paying her no mind at all, which only made Shangguan Lan'er angrier still.
This young lady might be a touch haughty, but her nature was decent enough—endearingly naive and charming, even. Watching mistress and pet bicker, Wei Zhao could not help but smile.
Had Shangguan Lan'er truly been the sort of pampered young lady who could not bear the least slight, this little incident would have been a great deal of trouble. Once she branded it as indecent assault, the consequences would have been unthinkable—and it would have played right into the hands of Xu Lingchong, Meng Jueming, and their lot!
To avoid the awkwardness, Wei Zhao could only pick up the earlier thread. "Young lady, the truth is, this little thing is so close to me because of what happened the first time I saw it—I healed its wounds."
"You healed Little White's wounds?" Shangguan Lan'er was startled, but her concern was not why Wei Zhao could heal a spirit pet—instead she asked urgently, "Little White was injured before?"
"Indeed. The first time I saw it, it was quite badly hurt. I treated it without thinking much of it, and that's why it's so attached to me." Wei Zhao nodded.
The little curly-furred bear obligingly let out a string of woo-woos at his neck, confirming his account.
Shangguan Lan'er hastily gathered the little curly-furred bear into her arms and examined it up and down. Only after finding no lingering aftereffects did she breathe a sigh of relief. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? Quick, tell me—which bastard hurt Little White?"
Back at the rear mountain hall a few days ago, she had in fact recalled all the oddities surrounding the day she went looking for the little curly-furred bear. But the creature itself had only a hazy memory of what happened that day and could give no clear account, so she had let the matter drop and not looked into it further.
"That I'm afraid I don't know," Wei Zhao said, shaking his head.
He could guess that it was Meng Jueming and Meng Zhou who had injured the little curly-furred bear, but a guess was all it was, with no evidence whatsoever. Even if he pointed the finger at those two, it would only turn into an endless, tangled case with no head or tail to it. RS
