Chapter 114: Wu Yu 15 (1)
I was fairly surprised when I saw the two of them here. Then again, no one else would do this.
The afternoon sky was grey, and the Chengs had settled down for this cold day. With a coat draped over his shoulder and a shirt that was not completely buttoned up, Zheng Zhiwei came up the stairs with one hand holding the rails. Looking obviously upset, he turned and fixed his gaze on Tan Jiao and I.
Cheng Baozhu was behind him. Wearing a sweater and a dress, her hair was a mess, and her face was glowing red. She looked down and seemed very embarrassed.
The four of us stood there in that cramped shed. In the end, Zheng Zhiwei put on a smile and said, “Why have the two of you come here?” He took a glance at Cheng Baozhu and continued, “I thought no one would come here during the afternoon.”
“Professor Cheng asked me to help with some plumbing issues, so I came to grab a wrench.” I had no plans of telling him the truth. Fortunately, Tan Jiao picked up on that and said nothing.
I did not really like people like Zheng Zhiwei. Arrogant and pretentious.
“Oh… I thought the two of you were looking for somewhere like this,” Zheng Zhiwei said in a joking tone.
My brows had knitted but Tan Jiao, who was standing behind me, asked, “Mr. Zheng, what do you mean? Why would we look for a place like this?”
In the past, I had flipped through the novels Wu Miao read. Thinking that Tan Jiao must know very well what he meant, I could not help but let out a chuckle.
