Chapter 4901 — A Flood of Sympathy?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Could it be that the girl actually had some feelings for Chang Laiting? The others puzzled over this in silence. They found such affection for a piece of scum foolish, yet not entirely incomprehensible—after all, the two were dao companions.
"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? I stepped on him—will he come after me for it later?" Ni Caiyue was once again spinning in frantic circles.
Wei Zhao and the others nearly keeled over in unison. So it was not affection at all—she was simply afraid Chang Laiting would take revenge!
Even in a situation like this, she was still fixated on the fact that she had stepped on Chang Laiting. Just how was this girl's mind wired?
"I say, girl, are you quite finished? Stop pacing back and forth, will you? You're making me dizzy," Wei Zhao said, his face speechless as he tried to stop her.
"Ah! What? You called me... that?!" Ni Caiyue finally halted and stared wide-eyed at Wei Zhao. "You're flirting with me!"
"..." Wei Zhao stared blankly at this girl with her fantastically bizarre thought process, at a loss for words. How was one supposed to communicate with someone like this? Was he supposed to hold out a lollipop and say, There's a good child, uncle isn't a bad man?
Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao exchanged looks as well. Only Lu Xiaozhong was there stifling a wicked grin—had Wei Zhao not glared at him, the fellow would surely have already slapped his thigh and burst out laughing. Was this not just a silly girl?!
Wei Zhao thought for a long while and finally managed to squeeze out one speechless sentence: "Please—the road to becoming a magnate is very dangerous. You'd better hurry home."
"Mm-hm!" Ni Caiyue actually nodded in hearty agreement and explained, all on her own: "I was on my way home to begin with, but then I ran into Chang Laiting by accident on the road, and he chased me the whole way. It was terrifying!"
As she spoke, she absentmindedly patted her chest—and with a figure to rival Huo Yudie's, that patting was a temptation all its own. Watching the shape of her chest rise and fall, Wei Zhao could only awkwardly turn his head away.
Thank goodness the girl was dressed so thoroughly. Had her clothes been any thinner, any man witnessing this would surely have been driven into a beastly frenzy. Her nerves were just a little too thick.
"It's fine now—Chang Laiting definitely won't be able to catch me!" Ni Caiyue glanced thankfully at Chang Laiting, whose head was still stuck in the ground. The others were speechless again. This wretch surviving at all was a miracle. What was he going to chase her with?
"So you'd best be off. Once he wakes up, you won't be able to leave," Wei Zhao said, rubbing his forehead. He had half a mind to say that if she liked, she could finish Chang Laiting off with one more stroke and save herself future trouble—but one look at Ni Caiyue told him she would never dare do such a thing, so saying it would be wasted breath.
"Oh, oh, then I'd better hurry!" Ni Caiyue gave a start and, still shaken, hastily backed a few steps away. Then she suddenly stopped and turned back, her face utterly serious: "Young hero, even though you saved me, you're still not allowed to flirt with me!"
"..." The others exchanged looks once more, while Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao couldn't help but smile at each other. Strange as her thought process was, one had to admit this Ni Caiyue was adorably naive and innocent.
"I wasn't flirting with you!" A black line crossed Wei Zhao's brow. Speechless, he choked for a good while before sighing. "Well then—goodbye."
"Mm, goodbye!" Ni Caiyue waved excitedly and turned to go, her steps light with delight.
