Chapter 2193 — Caught

And as for the whole business of the first wife and the second wife, Wei Zhao planned to find a chance and ask Feng Xiaoxiao in person, because he had always felt as though he already had a first wife—was it really true that he had none?

In the blink of an eye, the movie ended, but Wei Zhao did not stop, because he was unwilling to forfeit such a rare and golden opportunity; if Wang Xinyan were to be startled awake, the effect would be greatly diminished.

But though Wei Zhao had no wish to disturb anyone, someone just had to come and disturb them...

"Knock, knock, knock..." From outside the folding door came the sound of knocking, followed by Bai Weituo's booming voice: "Brother Lin, the movie's over—aren't you coming out?"

Somewhat helplessly, Wei Zhao slid the folding door open, and Bai Weituo and Zhao Shengji promptly craned their necks inside with looks of pure curiosity...

"Yaaawn..." Wang Xinyan, cradled in Wei Zhao's arms, was woken too. She stretched, rubbing her eyes drowsily: "Is the movie over...?"

"There's hanky-panky afoot!" Bai Weituo looked at Wang Xinyan in Wei Zhao's arms, a sly grin spreading across his face: "Boss, this time you can't deny it even if you want to—you two were asleep in each other's arms..."

"Exactly. Who knows what strenuous activities you got up to before? Otherwise, how could you fall asleep watching a movie?" Zhao Shengji wore an equally knowing smile.

"Nothing of the sort." Wei Zhao smiled faintly and released Wang Xinyan. "The movie was too boring—we both dozed off..."

"Boring? It was great!" He Meiyue, however, eyed Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan with a teasing glint: "Well, Xinyan? Are you going to deny it this time?"

"Deny what?" Wang Xinyan looked a little embarrassed.

"Deny your relationship with Wei Zhao, of course!" said He Meiyue.

"We... have always just been good friends..." Wang Xinyan said, her face flushed.

"Good friends who sleep in each other's arms?" He Meiyue countered.

"During military training, we often slept together—it's no big deal..." Wang Xinyan meant to explain, only to realize she had let something slip...

He Meiyue and Chai Xiaoling's eyes went wide, and Bai Weituo and Zhao Shengji wore looks of sudden enlightenment.

"So the hanky-panky's been going on for ages! That's not fair—you kept it hidden all this time!" said He Meiyue.

"All right, the movie's over. Best head back early." Wei Zhao did not take the bait; he merely said this lightly.

Bai Weituo, He Meiyue, and the others did not press the matter further. The group left the cinema and reached the parking lot, only then recalling that there were now two cars.

"Xinyan, you drive one, and Bai Weituo drives the other," Wei Zhao said.

"Okay..." Wang Xinyan nodded.

And so Wei Zhao, Zhao Shengji, and Bai Weituo rode in one car, while Wang Xinyan, Chai Xiaoling, and He Meiyue took the other, and the two cars set off together in the direction of the school.

"Boss, you're no fun—you kept denying it all along!" Bai Weituo said once they were in the car.

"Ha, never mind me—let's talk about you two. How are things? Any progress?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Me...? Don't even mention it. She won't even let me hold her hand..." Bai Weituo sighed. "Looks like I've still got a long way to go..."

"Heh, I've made a bit of progress, actually. Chai Xiaoling let me kiss her—though compared to you, Boss, it's nothing..." said Zhao Shengji.

"Wang Xinyan and I..." Wei Zhao wanted to say there really was nothing between them, but on second thought he said: "Never mind, let's not talk about that."

Wei Zhao got out at the school gate. He did not live in the dormitory, so he walked straight from the school gate back to the Xueshang residential compound; it was not far on foot.

When he got home, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were watching television in the living room, while Grandma Sun was tidying up the house.

"Mr. Lin, you're back. I'm about to do some laundry—shall I wash your jacket too?" Grandma Sun asked.

"Sure, give it a wash." Wei Zhao took off his jacket and handed it to her.

Wei Zhao went to his room to change into house clothes, while Grandma Sun pulled everything out of his jacket pockets, set it down casually on the coffee table, and then turned and went to the laundry room.

"Huh? What's this?" Shen Yushu looked at a colorful little bag Grandma Sun had fished from Wei Zhao's pocket and picked it up, puzzled: "Is it edible?"

"What is it..." Gu Mengyao took a closer look, and her face instantly went dark. Wei Zhao had bought this?

"Ultra-thin? Glow-in-the-dark? Ribbed? What on earth are these?" Shen Yushu stared at the items in her hand in bewilderment, until at last she made out the rest of the text on one small packet: "Extra thrilling, extra lubricated... Pfft, I get it now—Bubblegum Bro and Foxy Wang have done the deed!"

"It can't have happened that fast, surely?" Gu Mengyao did not think Wei Zhao was that kind of person. With both Feng Xiaoxiao and Tang Yun, he had never gone that far, so with Wang Xinyan, whom he had known only a short while as a classmate, he had actually done it? Was that possible?

"Then it was premeditated?" said Shen Yushu.

"Well, just ask him about it in a bit and you'll find out..." Gu Mengyao was in fact rather curious herself about why Wei Zhao would buy such a thing, but she could hardly ask, so she could only delegate the task to Curious Shu.

"Ah, okay." Shen Yushu nodded.

After a while, Wei Zhao finished changing into house clothes and came out of his room. Seeing that the young miss and Little Shu were looking at him rather oddly, he glanced down at his own clothes in puzzlement—no, the buttons were not misaligned.

"What are you staring at?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Bubblegum Bro, Sister Yaoyao told me to ask you—what are these condoms for? Are you planning to xx me and Sister Yaoyao in the middle of the night?" Shen Yushu held up the bag in her hand and asked.

"Ugh!" Gu Mengyao smacked Shen Yushu on the back of the head. "Little Shu, what nonsense are you shouting? Since when did I tell you to ask that?"

"But you did say it—you told me to ask him in a bit..." Shen Yushu clutched her head and protested aggrievedly: "You've knocked the smarts right out of Genius Shu."

"I didn't tell you to say that second part either," said Gu Mengyao.

"Oh, that part Little Shu added herself," said Shen Yushu.

Wei Zhao looked at these two clowns, caught between laughter and tears: "That stuff you mentioned—someone was peddling it at the cinema, and he wouldn't stop pestering me until I bought some. So I did. Here, they're yours."

"We don't want them." Hearing Wei Zhao's explanation, Gu Mengyao did not doubt him.

"You could fill them with water and use them as water balloons," said Shen Yushu.

"Why don't you blow them up as balloons!" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare. "All grown up, and you still can't tell good from bad."

"Oh, then let's keep them. That way, if Bubblegum Bro ever wants to xx us, he won't have to go out and buy any."
