Chapter 180 — The Insecure Little Nurse

"Oh? Grandpa, you seem in a fine mood?" Guan Xin forced a smile as she spoke. Whatever disappointment she felt inside, it was rare to see her grandfather so cheerful, and she naturally did not want to spoil his spirits, so she tried hard to make her own mood look normal...

"Ha, yesterday I met a young miracle doctor! Many of his views cleared up doubts that have puzzled me for most of my life." Guan Xuemin had met Wei Zhao yesterday, and the pleasure of their long talk had not faded even now. "What a remarkable young fellow!"

"A young fellow? A miracle doctor?" Guan Xin was rather surprised. Her grandfather was a towering figure in the world of traditional Chinese medicine, honored by the outside world as Doctor Guan! For him to call someone a miracle doctor, how formidable must that person be? Yet from his tone, the man sounded very young? A mere lad?

"Ambition does not depend on age." Guan Xuemin waved his hand. "He and I have no name of master and disciple between us, yet we have had the reality of it. Toward him, your grandfather treats him with the courtesy due a teacher."

"With the courtesy due a teacher?" Guan Xin widened her eyes and stared at her grandfather in disbelief. He did not look like a man talking in his sleep before he had woken up. Could there really be someone so extraordinary?

"Xinxin, this young fellow is excellent. Some day when you are off, cook a few of your best dishes at home, and I will invite him over!" Guan Xuemin smiled. "Xinxin, you are not so young anymore. It is time you thought about the great matter of your life..."

"Grandpa." Guan Xin twisted shyly and lowered her head in embarrassment. Yet somehow, the image of Wei Zhao flashed across her mind...

Guan Xin understood her grandfather's meaning well enough. Seeing how highly he praised that young miracle doctor, he plainly wanted to bring her and the man together. But Guan Xin was not much taken with the idea. For one thing, the two of them did not even know each other... and for another... the very thought made her blush...

"Ha." Guan Xuemin naturally did not understand his granddaughter's private thoughts, and took it for shyness, so he said no more. "Hurry back to your room and rest. You did not sleep well on night duty, did you?"

"Mm, Grandpa, then I will go upstairs first." Guan Xin nodded and sighed softly, then went into the villa and walked toward her own room.

When school let out in the evening, Wei Zhao had to fetch his car at the snack street, so after parting with Kang Xiaobo he headed in that direction. He had already texted Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao to tell them he had driven to school and would not be leaving with them that night.

Wei Zhao had meant to stop by Mother Tang's barbecue stall to ask about the exact time for the weekend and the exact address of her home, but Mother Tang had not set out her stall today, so Wei Zhao could only drive away for now.

Back at the villa district, Wei Zhao did not go straight back to Gu Mengyao's villa, but went first to Shen Yushu's villa. He meant to bring her computer over, so that it would be more convenient when he needed to look things up.

The layout of Shen Yushu's villa was basically the same as Gu Mengyao's, and even the style of decoration was much alike. They had evidently been decorated together back then.

Seeing tiny bras and panties tossed everywhere over the living room and the sofa, Wei Zhao broke into a sweat and forced himself not to look further. He had no wish for Shen Yushu to take him for a pervert, even though she was not here now and would never know.

He went upstairs. It was the first time Wei Zhao had seen the upper floor of the villa, though Gu Mengyao's side was presumably much the same. There were four rooms above. Mindful not to look at what propriety forbids, he found the study, carried the desktop computer on the desk downstairs, then locked the villa door and left.

He touched nothing else in the villa. That Chen girl was not so easily fooled. If he disturbed anything of hers, would that not just hand her another hold over him?

When Wei Zhao returned to the villa, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were sitting in the living room watching television. For once, wonder of wonders, they were actually watching TV. After coming home in the past, they had both basically gone straight upstairs.

Seeing Wei Zhao lugging a computer back, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both glanced at him, then their eyes went straight back to the television screen.

Wei Zhao glanced at the screen. It was a star's concert, with a rather pretty girl bouncing about on stage, only her clothes were a bit too heavy... Wei Zhao thought to himself, it would be better if she wore a little less...

"Hey, do you want to watch the concert with us? The great star Xu Shilan!" Shen Yushu said without taking her eyes off the screen.

"Oh, I will pass. You watch." Wei Zhao was not much interested in such star concerts. With so many scandals in show business, he felt the girl on TV was clearly playing at innocence, good enough to fool innocent young girls like Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.

That Wei Zhao would not watch did not show much displeasure on Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. She was their idol, and whether Wei Zhao liked her or not had nothing to do with them.

Wei Zhao lugged the computer back to his room. After hooking it up, he found the light on the network card was not on. The wall jack was fine, so the only possibility was that the cable for this room had not been plugged in at the incoming switch.

Wei Zhao came out of the room again. "Yaoyao, where is the incoming network switch? The wall jack in my room has no signal."

"Upstairs. Go fix it yourself and stop bothering me while I watch the concert." Gu Mengyao waved her hand impatiently. The room Wei Zhao lived in now had never been occupied before, so it was normal that the network cable had never been connected.

"Me? Go upstairs?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. Had he not been forbidden to go up? Today it was allowed? Though both of them were downstairs, the upstairs was still their own little world, was it not?

"You are not allowed into my room or Xiaoshu's room. The data box is in the middle of the stairs. Mighty General, go with him. If he wanders off, bite him!" Gu Mengyao was plainly obsessed with the concert on television and did not even care that Wei Zhao was going upstairs, though she was not foolish enough to forget to send Mighty General to shadow him. But would it be any use?

Mighty General let out a plaintive growl and wagged his tail reluctantly at Gu Mengyao's feet.

"What? You want to watch the concert too?" Gu Mengyao thought Mighty General could not bear to leave the TV. "You lecherous dog!"

"Woof..." Mighty General gave another gloomy growl and ran toward Wei Zhao.

Yet when he reached Wei Zhao, he dared not get too close, and only trailed weakly behind him.

Wei Zhao's mood at this moment was both excited and nervous. Although he had been to Shen Yushu's house before and had gone to the second floor, that place had long stood empty, and Shen Yushu had moved out some time ago. There was nothing to get excited about in visiting a boudoir with no human warmth.

But now it was different. Thinking that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu slept up there every night, Wei Zhao felt a stir of excitement...
