Chapter 634 — Go Kiss Brother Arrow: Wei Zhao's sudden appearance at Gu Mengyao's and Shen Yushu's side as a follower had puzzled Chen Yutian all along; he could not figure out why — could it be someone's arrangement, deliberately throwing the two of them together?

The Blossom Guardian

Was that aimed at Gu Mengyao, or at Shen Yushu?

On a personal level, Chen Yutian naturally hoped that the instructor and his sister would end up together. That way, not only would it draw him and Wei Zhao closer, it would also serve the interests of the Chen family! Wei Zhao's skill had already reached the peak of the mid-Yellow rank back then, on the verge of breaking through to the late Yellow rank. By now, he was probably already late Yellow rank, wasn't he?

At the very least, Chen Yutian could not see through Wei Zhao's true strength! Strength like that made Wei Zhao a rare specimen even among the younger generation of the great families, so if his sister were to marry him, it would not be unacceptable.

An Jianwen, meanwhile, had an even worse headache. He had never imagined that Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao had reached an agreement back in childhood to marry the same man in the future. Wasn't that just making things hard for him?

It looked like he would have to think of a way to split Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao apart! It was imperative; otherwise, pursuing Gu Mengyao would become an impossible mission! Make Shen Yushu his concubine? An Jianwen simply did not dare!

For one thing, he could not bear it. He had only one heart. Even if he was the head of an organ-trafficking ring, if his heart suddenly exploded, he would not be able to find a replacement in time. And even if he did find one, he would long since be dead beyond saving.

For another, Shen Yushu's background and status were more than he could bear. Never mind whether the Chen family would agree — Chen Yutian would not agree either! The man Shen Yushu ended up with would have to be either a scion of a great family or a peerless master.

"All right, it's my turn to ask!" Shen Yushu paid no mind to what anyone was thinking and hurriedly said to Gu Mengyao: "Yaoyao, it's finally my turn to ask you. Here I go! Who was your first kiss? La la la, ha ha ha?"

No sooner had she finished asking than Shen Yushu could not help but snicker, sly as a thief.

"My first kiss?" Gu Mengyao frowned, and suddenly thought of Wei Zhao. Then, seeing Shen Yushu's sly grin, she knew the girl was up to no good. She did not want to answer, but she did not want to drink either. She had already drunk quite a bit, and her head was still swimming. "I refuse to answer. I choose the dare."

"Good, good, Yaoyao, you're the second person to choose the dare. I'm going to start setting the task now!" Shen Yushu said excitedly. "Yaoyao, I command you to go kiss Brother Arrow!"

"!" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu. "I won't."

"Go on, your first kiss went to Brother Arrow anyway, so one more won't hurt!" Shen Yushu said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao was furious, glaring viciously at Shen Yushu. "Have you had enough? You're going too far!"

"Oh, I don't think it's a big deal. Brother Arrow has kissed me too, and I think it's perfectly normal!" Shen Yushu said.

Sitting across from them, An Jianwen knitted his brows. Gu Mengyao's first kiss had gone to Wei Zhao? Was that true or not? But judging by Gu Mengyao's expression, she seemed to have tacitly admitted it — she had not refuted it, only asked whether Xiaoshu had had enough and told her she was going too far!

And then there was Shen Yushu's earlier question: who had Gu Mengyao's first kiss been with? Gu Mengyao had refused to answer rather than answering "no one." That meant she definitely had had a first kiss; she simply did not want to answer. Otherwise, would it not have been much cleaner to just say "no one"?

Could it be that Gu Mengyao really had something going on with Wei Zhao? An Jianwen's face turned very ugly. Then he heard Shen Yushu say that her kissing partner had also been Wei Zhao. Could it be that these three, living under the same roof, had really...?

An Jianwen wanted to flip the table right then and there; his rage had reached a certain pitch! This Wei Zhao had actually stolen what he was supposed to be guarding — and he had played him for a fool, claiming to be tipping him off, when in fact he was stealing the young ladies right under his own roof! An Jianwen felt an urge to kill Wei Zhao!

Chen Yutian was rather surprised as well. Wei Zhao had kissed his sister? And apparently Gu Mengyao too? Just what was the relationship between these three? Was Wei Zhao still a mere follower?

Yet though Chen Yutian was puzzled, he did not think anything was amiss. Wei Zhao was at Gu Mengyao's side; Gu Pengzhan could not possibly be unaware of it. Since Gu Pengzhan had said nothing, might there be some hidden story behind it all?

In fact, if his sister could marry Wei Zhao, Chen Yutian would not object — on the contrary, he would be rather pleased. That had been his wish all along. It was only that now Gu Mengyao had been added to the picture. But as long as his sister was willing, Chen Yutian would not say much.

"All right, Xiaoshu, stop joking around." Seeing that Gu Mengyao was about to explode, Wei Zhao spoke up to rescue her. "This game is for you girls. I'm only a bystander, so the dare has nothing to do with me. Why don't you give Yaoyao a different dare?"

"All right, let's call it a day." An Jianwen could no longer hold it in. He wished he could kill Wei Zhao right then, but out of consideration for Chen Yutian and Su Taizao, he did not show anything immediately — though he would absolutely never sit at the same table with Wei Zhao again.

With that, An Jianwen stood up and left the private room without a backward glance. Su Taizao glanced at Chen Yutian but said nothing, and ran out after An Jianwen. Chen Yutian gave a cold laugh. The friendship of the Four Young Masters of Songshan would vanish like smoke after tonight's dinner.

What remained would be only the private friendship between An Jianwen and Su Taizao.

Chen Yutian had business that evening. He would have liked to go back to the villa with Shen Yushu and ask about Wei Zhao, but he feared Wei Zhao might take offense. After thinking it over, he decided to let nature take its course. Since Wei Zhao had already become a follower of his sister and Yaoyao, there was no need to rush.

At the hotel entrance, Chen Yutian parted ways with Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao. As he was leaving, he cast Wei Zhao a look of reverence — but Wei Zhao did not look at him at all. Instead, like a proper follower, he drove Gu Mengyao's Audi 5 over and waited for Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu to get in.

There was nothing Chen Yutian could do. He waved to Shen Yushu, said a few words of take-care, and left. He had wanted to remind Wei Zhao to be wary of An Jianwen, since An Jianwen was not a magnanimous man, and today's events had cost him great face — he would surely seek revenge.

But then he thought of Wei Zhao's strength and skill, and his reminder seemed superfluous. Chen Yutian shook his head and left.

Wei Zhao drove Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu toward the villa.
