Chapter 1953 — Her Brother Is Me

"Her brother is me," Wei Zhao said with a faint smile as he walked over.

"You?" Zou Ruoming froze. He had not expected anyone to answer, but when he turned and saw who it was, his expression changed at once. He had not imagined the newcomer would be Wei Zhao. His legs went weak, and he nearly dropped to the ground right there.

Recalling what Ying Ziyu had said earlier — that her brother was nothing but a lapdog in front of his brother — he saw now that she had been absolutely right. Never mind Zou Ruoguang; even his own father, Zou Tiandi, was nothing but trash before the great Master Lin!

"Master Lin... Ziyu is your sister..." Only now did Zou Ruoming realize what a stupid thing he had done. Of all the girls to chase, he had to go after Ying Ziyu! His original target had been Chen Xi, the school beauty from an ordinary family, but he had been thoroughly humiliated by Wei Zhao for chasing Tang Yun, another school beauty from a common background, and the experience had left him with some lingering fear. So he had set his sights on Ying Ziyu, the pretty school beauty — never suspecting that she was actually Wei Zhao's sister!

"Why haven't you graduated yet, kid? Can't you find something worthwhile to do? All you know is chasing girls!" Wei Zhao frowned. He could tell that Ying Ziyu had not come off badly, so he could not be bothered to hold a grudge against Zou Ruoming. With this little hoodlum around the school, he could actually be useful — he could help watch over Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi.

"Ah... Master Lin, I can't get into university anyway, so I'm just killing a few extra years here..." Zou Ruoming said awkwardly. "I'm sorry, Master Lin. I didn't know Ying Ziyu was your sister. If I had, you could have lent me a hundred times the courage and I still wouldn't have dared to court her... I'll throw these flowers away..."

"Forget it. No need to throw them away after buying them." Wei Zhao casually plucked the bouquet from Zou Ruoming's hands. "I'll borrow the flowers to make my offering. Ziyu, these are for you."

Ying Ziyu had already been overjoyed to see Wei Zhao, and when she saw him offer her flowers, her heart betrayed her with a frantic flutter, and her face flushed red at once. In front of others, Ying Ziyu was a fiery little beauty, but before Wei Zhao she was a docile child. She took the flowers and said shyly, "Thank you, Brother Wei Zhao..."

"Uh..." Zou Ruoming stared, dumbfounded. Ying Ziyu had a shy side like this? Then it suddenly struck him that Wei Zhao and Ying Ziyu did not even share the same surname — so these siblings... could they be that kind of siblings?

At the thought, Zou Ruoming's legs began to tremble. His eyes had truly been set at the soles of his feet. The two women he had chased were both Master Lin's women — he was courting death!

"Brother Wei Zhao!" Chen Xi had spotted Wei Zhao too by then. But when she saw him give flowers to Ying Ziyu, her expression dimmed — though she quickly recovered, and delight took its place again. "What are you doing here?"

Wei Zhao's perception was far too keen for him to miss Chen Xi's disappointment. With a faint smile, he split the bouquet in Ying Ziyu's hands into two bunches and handed one to Chen Xi. "These were meant for both of you anyway. I was just about to have Ziyu bring yours to you."

"Yes, yes, Chen Xi, Brother Wei Zhao was actually going to give all the flowers to you!" Ying Ziyu said, looking at Chen Xi with a teasing glint. She knew perfectly well what was in Chen Xi's heart; the two of them had teased each other often enough about Wei Zhao lately.

"Ah... really..." Chen Xi's heart leaped with joy, but then Ying Ziyu's look gave her a fright. Afraid she might blurt out something inappropriate in front of Wei Zhao, she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Wei Zhao. Let's... let's go outside to talk. It's not really suitable here at the classroom door..."

In fact, even Zou Ruoming had seen through Chen Xi's feelings by now. He sighed inwardly. What a stroke of luck, truly — if he had chosen to pursue Chen Xi, he would have stirred up a disaster beyond measure!

When it came to a delicate girl like Chen Xi, Zou Ruoming would not have gone about it the way he had with Ying Ziyu. He would certainly have used the same tactics as when he pursued Tang Yun — threats and coercion alike. But that would have torn a hole in the heavens. If Wei Zhao found out, he would probably have trampled Zou Ruoming into the ground.

"What's going on here? Why is everyone standing around the classroom door?" A familiar voice drifted over, and the students gathered at the door scattered the moment they heard it. Even Zou Ruoming cautiously stepped to one side.

"What are you three still doing over there!" The voice rang out again, this time directed at Wei Zhao, Ying Ziyu, and Chen Xi.

"Ha ha, Director Wang, I came to see my two little sisters," Wei Zhao said with a smile, greeting the owner of the voice.

"Ah! Wei Zhao?" Wang Zhifeng's expression turned rather peculiar at the sight of him. With Wei Zhao graduated, Wang Zhifeng had finally breathed a sigh of relief — at last he could return to being the mighty director he had once been. But now, unexpectedly, Wei Zhao was back!

In Wei Zhao's presence, he did not dare put on any airs. Wei Zhao had already graduated and no longer had any reason to fear him — and if Wei Zhao were to go around telling tales of what had happened before, Wang Zhifeng would be in for a world of trouble. So Wang Zhifeng immediately put on a kindly smile. "Ah, so these two are your sisters? They're in Class Five of the first year? I see. If anything comes up in the future, they can come to me anytime!"

"Chen Xi, Ziyu, you heard Director Wang. If you run into any trouble from now on, just go straight to him — for instance, if someone comes courting you," Wei Zhao said with a smile to Chen Xi and Ying Ziyu.

Ying Ziyu's eyes went wide. She had never expected this grim-faced terror of a director to be so amiable toward Wei Zhao. Just what kind of person was he, to be so formidable wherever he went? At this moment, Ying Ziyu practically worshipped Wei Zhao!

"Ha ha, no need for the director to step in — I'll take care of it for Master Lin!" Afraid that Wei Zhao might come after him later, Zou Ruoming hastily pounded his chest and pledged to Wei Zhao.

Wang Zhifeng was left speechless. This Zou Ruoming had become so loyal after being beaten by Wei Zhao a few times — the boy truly had no backbone... Though then again, was not his own weakness held firmly in Wei Zhao's grip as well?
