Chapter 630 — Buy One, Get One Free

The Blossom Guardian

"Not very sturdy? What do you mean?" Shen Yushu blinked in confusion.

Gu Mengyao could hardly keep from laughing. This best friend of hers looked like a simpleton, yet before anyone quite knew how it happened, she could talk a person in circles and torment them half to death.

"That... that shark probably had dentures! That's why they weren't sturdy!" Seeing An Jianwen's discomfort, Su Taizao hurriedly came to his rescue.

"Dentures? Do sharks go to the dentist too?" Shen Yushu said in astonishment. "Are there clinics in the sea as well?"

An Jianwen was beside himself with rage. Was there something wrong with Su Taizao? Even drunk, he had no business spouting such nonsense — a shark with false teeth? Did he think it was a human being?

"No, don't listen to his nonsense!" An Jianwen said hastily. "The shark I punched was an old shark. Its teeth had already come loose, so it couldn't take a hit!"

"Oh, so it was an old shark!" Shen Yushu nodded. "Brother Jianwen, you're really amazing — you could even tell that the shark was an old one!"

"Haha... naturally. All right, enough of that, let's move on to the next question!" An Jianwen waved his hand. "Another day I'll invite you over to my house alone — I still have that shark's skin!"

"Oh, wonderful! I've never seen what an old shark's skin looks like. I'll definitely have to find someone to examine it and see how it differs from a young shark's!" Shen Yushu nodded. "I love studying sharks most of all!"

An Jianwen nearly cursed himself for a fool. Why on earth had he brought up shark skin? If Shen Yushu actually came to see it, where was he supposed to get one for her? Ordinary shark skin would be easy enough — just buy some at the market — but old shark skin was hard to come by! And if Shen Yushu had it examined and found it wasn't from an old shark, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?

"Fine, we'll talk about it another day!" An Jianwen had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree. Then he quickly turned to Chen Yutian. "Brother Yutian, it's my turn to ask a question!"

"All right, go ahead." Watching An Jianwen make a fool of himself, Chen Yutian found it quite amusing. This little sister of his was a rare treasure indeed — when she needled someone, she needled them to death.

"Who is the most important person to you?" An Jianwen had wanted to ask something tricky, but then he remembered what Su Taizao had said earlier — that the first round should stick to ordinary questions. It wouldn't look right if he jumped straight to something devious, so he casually asked something fairly ordinary. In his view, the most important person to Chen Yutian was naturally Qiu Lingshan.

"The most important person to me is none other than my instructor from special training!" At this, Chen Yutian cast Wei Zhao a look of reverence, but seeing that Wei Zhao was not looking at him at all, he could not help feeling a little disappointed. Still, he went on aloud: "He changed my life. He gave me ideals, gave me goals, made me into a formidable soldier! If it were possible, I would want to be his student forever!"

Chen Yutian's words left An Jianwen and Su Taizao somewhat puzzled. Chen Yutian had changed a good deal in the years they had not seen him, but they had no idea who his instructor was, and thought nothing much of it. Whether he was still pursuing Qiu Lingshan was, to An Jianwen and Su Taizao, of no great concern either.

Shen Yushu, though, glanced at her brother in surprise. She had never expected that her brother, who had once been so infatuated with Qiu Lingshan, would say such a thing! The most important person to him was actually his instructor! It seemed her brother really had matured a great deal, and had found new ideals and goals in life... Only, who was his instructor? Was he really that formidable? Was he as formidable as Arrow Bro?

"All right, Xiaoshu, it's my turn to ask you..." Having given his own answer, Chen Yutian did not wait for An Jianwen to say anything, but asked Shen Yushu directly: "Who do you think is more formidable — me, or your Arrow Bro?"

Who Arrow Bro was, An Jianwen and Su Taizao of course knew. Hearing Chen Yutian ask this, they both assumed Chen Yutian was angry! Otherwise he would never have asked such a thing! If Shen Yushu answered poorly, Chen Yutian would probably end up in a conflict with Wei Zhao, wouldn't he?

An Jianwen was rather gleeful. Though on the surface he was on good terms with Wei Zhao now, that was founded entirely on his being at Gu Mengyao's side and feeding her information back to him! In truth, An Jianwen loathed Wei Zhao. Right here in this private room at the Starlight Splendor Hotel, he had been humiliated by Wei Zhao twice! How could An Jianwen ever forget that shame? If Chen Yutian could give Wei Zhao a beating for him, An Jianwen would be delighted!

Then he thought: Chen Yutian was Shen Yushu's brother, so even if he laid hands on Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao, out of consideration for Gu Mengyao's feelings, probably wouldn't dare hit back, would he? Heh heh, then that beating would be taken for nothing — that bastard Wei Zhao was in for it now!

But all of it depended on how Shen Yushu answered! So the moment Chen Yutian finished asking, An Jianwen fixed his eyes eagerly on Shen Yushu, waiting for her reply.

"Oh, I think Arrow Bro is a bit more formidable?" Shen Yushu had not expected her brother to ask such a thing. Could he still be nursing a grudge over that phone call she had made before? But seeing that her brother showed no hostility toward Wei Zhao, Shen Yushu stopped worrying about it.

"Heh heh, all right, Xiaoshu, it's your turn to ask Gu Mengyao." Chen Yutian merely smiled at her answer and said nothing more. This left An Jianwen and Su Taizao, who had been watching all along, with their jaws on the floor. What on earth was going on? Had Chen Yutian's temper really become this good?

"Then I'll ask." Shen Yushu nodded and looked at Gu Mengyao. "Sister Yaoyao, when I become the concubine later, will you, as the first wife, bully me? I don't want to be bullied!"

Gu Mengyao was caught between laughter and tears. What kind of question was this? Become a concubine? Did Shen Yushu really take it seriously?

Chen Yutian was also taken aback. His little sister's ideas really were strange enough — she actually wanted to be a concubine?

As for An Jianwen, Shen Yushu's words nearly made his heart explode with fright! Shen Yushu was, to be sure, incomparably beautiful and had a fine figure, but if he married her and brought her home, that would be a disaster! He knew Shen Yushu's temperament inside and out. He liked Gu Mengyao, and when he married Gu Mengyao later, this buy-one-get-one-free deal — how was he supposed to survive it?

Anyone who did not know Shen Yushu's temperament would surely think he had struck it rich, but anyone who did know it would know he would be bringing home a walking disaster! He had no wish to live under the shadow of being tormented every single day!

In this one short dinner, Shen Yushu had already tormented him several times. If he brought her home, would he even have a life left?

"How could I ever bully you?" Gu Mengyao could not answer Shen Yushu's question directly, and could only reply vaguely.
