Chapter 407 — Frustrated to Death

"It was not me. My drink is not even finished!" Gu Mengyao frowned. She knew perfectly well that Shen Yushu was just toying with Zhong Yongliang, but she had no intention of taking the blame for nothing. Throw a bottle to hit Zhong Yongliang? She could not even be bothered to hit him. Who did he think he was?

As she spoke, Gu Mengyao pulled the drink from her desk and waved it at Shen Yushu. "Will you die if you stop talking nonsense? Believe it or not, I will pull your tongue out again!"

"Ow... I will stop, I will stop, but I am not falling for it again. I am keeping my mouth shut..." Shen Yushu covered her mouth. Zhong Yongliang was so angry he saw sparks. Shen Yushu was clearly playing him for a fool, yet there was nothing he could do about it! Shen Yushu was someone he could not afford to provoke. Not to mention how formidable her brother Chen Yutian was, her status alone as Gu Mengyao's best friend meant he dared not offend her. With a bellyful of pent-up anger, Zhong Yongliang could only vent it on someone else. "I will count to three! Whoever threw that bottle, stand up right now, or do not blame me for getting nasty!" Zhong Yongliang had truly lost his temper. After holding his fury in again and again, it all burst out at once. He was about to explode!

"All right, all right, I threw it!" Feng Xiaoxiao had not expected such a huge reaction from Zhong Yongliang. Seeing Wei Zhao looking at her with a half-smile, Feng Xiaoxiao had no choice but to stand up and own up to it. Even if she did not, Wei Zhao would expose her.

She was wrong about that, though. Wei Zhao could not be bothered with such trivial business, especially when the one who got hit was Zhong Yongliang. Even if he were beaten to death, it would have nothing to do with him.

"Ah?" Zhong Yongliang had never imagined the bottle had been thrown by Feng Xiaoxiao! His face twisted on the spot! Zhong Yongliang felt he would die of frustration! He dared not provoke Wei Zhao, nor did he dare provoke Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, but this Feng Xiaoxiao before him now, he dared provoke even less!

"Oh, Sister Xiaoxiao, it is nothing, ha." Zhong Yongliang sat back down, swallowing his anger. At this moment Zhong Yongliang felt like a big balloon, as if the slightest touch would make him burst! Yet there was nothing he could do. He could not afford to offend her, so he could only back off.

With all this fuss Zhong Yongliang had made, he had lost more than a little face. His classmates wanted to laugh but did not dare, all of them holding it in and shaking with muffled laughter. Zhong Yongliang knew he had embarrassed himself and felt thoroughly depressed. If he had known it would end like this, he would never have stood up. Three times he had shouted threats, and three times he had slunk back down. What rotten luck!

"Damn it! Ever since Wei Zhao transferred into this class, nothing has gone right for me!" Zhong Yongliang slammed a book against the wall. Right now he could only vent his anger on the wall.

"Brother Liang, just bear it. When Paozi comes back down the mountain, that will be the day Wei Zhao dies!" Gao Xiaofu already knew where Zhang Naipao had gone, so he was full of anticipation for Zhang Naipao's triumphant return after mastering his skills.

"Mm, but ever since he showed up, even my pursuit of Gu Mengyao has gone wrong, and now my relationship with Gu Mengyao is getting worse and worse!" Zhong Yongliang said bitterly.

"Well... those tricks from before did not work either," Gao Xiaofu, something of a scheming adviser who specialized in dirty tricks, said. "But Brother Liang, you have to hurry. Graduation is almost here. Once we are in college, it will be even harder. If you are not even in the same department, it will be hard just to see her!"

"That is true, I have to hurry!" Zhong Yongliang nodded. "Do you have any good ideas?"

"My ideas were all useless, and for now I cannot think of anything better!" Gao Xiaofu shook his head.

"Forget it, then. Let us think of something else!" Zhong Yongliang was just as clueless.

When the last class before noon ended and before the lunch break, Wei Zhao finally stood up to leave the classroom. At the sight, Feng Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. She hurriedly gestured to Zhong Yongliang and dialed his number. "You go on ahead and clear all the other boys out of the restroom! I do not want to walk in later and see someone else using the toilet!" Upon receiving his orders, Zhong Yongliang immediately rushed to the restroom with Gao Xiaofu. They had to clear the place before Wei Zhao arrived, or Feng Xiaoxiao would be furious if she walked into the men's room and found someone else still there!

"Clear out! Clear out! All of you get the hell out!" Zhong Yongliang did not dare talk like that to Wei Zhao, but with these ordinary students he acted mighty enough. It took only a few words to send everyone in the toilets scattering...

But there are always exceptions. A boy with a cigarette dangling from his mouth walked out of one of the stalls and glared at Zhong Yongliang. "Liangzi, you think you are something, huh? I am in here having a smoke and you drag me out?"

The man who came out was none other than Zou Ruoming. Others might fear Zhong Yongliang, but he did not. Interrupted like this, he was distinctly annoyed.

On any other day, Zhong Yongliang would never have dared to clash head-on with Zou Ruoming, but today was different. After Zou Ruoming finished, Zhong Yongliang just curled his lip and said, "Brother Ming, Xiaoxiao is going to handle some business here in a bit. Do not say I did not warn you. If you want to stay here and be an eyesore, then stay."

"What? Xiaoxiao is going to do something here?" Zou Ruoming froze, and the cigarette fell from his mouth to the floor with a 'plop'. He did not even bother to pick it up. "Why did you not say so earlier?"

With that, he ran out of the restroom without another word to Zhong Yongliang.

Watching Zou Ruoming's retreating back as he fled, Zhong Yongliang smiled, basking in borrowed authority. Very soon the restroom stood completely empty, while Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu took up positions at the door, one on the left and one on the right. Like a pair of door gods, they stopped anyone who came to use the toilet.

Wei Zhao walked up to the restroom door and saw Zhong Yongliang and Gao Xiaofu standing on either side. He was puzzled at once. "What are you two doing?"

"Nothing, nothing. We are waiting for someone here..." Zhong Yongliang said fawningly at once. "Boss Wei, you need to use the restroom? Welcome, please come in!"

Wei Zhao frowned. Were these two idiots out of their minds? Still, he walked into the restroom. There was not a soul inside, and Wei Zhao instinctively went on guard. Neither Zhong Yongliang nor Gao Xiaofu was any good. With those two waiting at the restroom door, could something be up?

"Hey, how is it going? Did he go in?" Feng Xiaoxiao arrived at the restroom door right on Wei Zhao's heels, only she had walked more slowly for fear Wei Zhao would spot her tailing him, so she had not actually seen him walk into the restroom.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, he went in. Everyone else inside has been cleared out. You can go in without worry. We will stand guard for you!" Zhong Yongliang thumped his chest in promise. (To be continued.
