Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 128 - 123, Huo Feng, you need to study hard.

In the evening, before Huo Feng left Pu Sangzhi’s house, he repeatedly instructed her to call and comfort him at 10 o’clock tonight.

Though Pu Sangzhi was reluctant, she eventually agreed nonchalantly.

Always a person to keep her promises, she made the call to Huo Feng despite her half-hearted agreement.

Pu Sangzhi had to sleep at 10 PM; it was her unwavering bedtime. Thus, she deliberately called Huo Feng half an hour early.

Little did she know, as soon as the call connected, she could hear Huo Feng’s father’s furious voice.

At the moment, although Pu Sangzhi was bewildered, she felt quite guilty.

Thinking about how Huo Feng had gotten into trouble with his father for fighting for her, Pu Sangzhi felt she should explain on behalf of Huo Feng...

So, during the call, she specifically chose to say some good words to Huo Feng’s father.

That was how the incident happened, and now that she had helped Huo Feng resolve the issue, Pu Sangzhi felt a bit relieved, somewhat less indebted to Huo Feng.

"Alright, I’ve called you, and I even explained things to your dad. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep," Pu Sangzhi said.

"Don’t go... I still have a lot to talk to you about!" Huo Feng quickly tried to stop her.

Pu Sangzhi was a bit helpless, "What else do you want to talk about?"

Huo Feng thought for a moment, then hastily found a topic, "Sangzhi, when can you hang out with me?"

Pu Sangzhi’s mouth twitched, "Impossible."

"Don’t refuse so quickly."

Huo Feng anxiously frowned, "Look, the midterms are coming up, right?"

Pu Sangzhi: "So?"

"Hehe..."

Huo Feng laughed, sat cross-legged on the bed, casually grabbed a manga character pillow and held it in his arms, saying, "Well, how about we make another bet? Like if I rank within the top 400, you’ll hang out with me?"

This kind of bet... unsurprisingly made Pu Sangzhi think of the last monthly test when Huo Feng cheated to get within the top 200.

Pu Sangzhi scoffed, "Even if you ranked second in the whole school, I wouldn’t go out with you. Using the same trick twice, you think I would believe it?"

"Come on... everything last time was an accident."

Huo Feng patted the pillow, somewhat anxiously saying, "Listen to me, this time it’s to motivate me. Look, you’ve tutored me for so long, I should show some results, right? Otherwise, it makes you look like an unqualified teacher!"

Pu Sangzhi: "So what?"

Huo Feng smoothly replied, "I mean, give me some motivation to improve. That way I’ll definitely study hard and strive to rank within the top 400 this midterms!"

Pu Sangzhi smirked, "Fine. If you don’t make it into the top 400, I won’t tutor you anymore. How’s that for motivation?"

"Don’t!"

Huo Feng suddenly panicked, "Why won’t you tutor me anymore? You’re becoming more and more stingy!"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but laugh, but after laughing, she spoke seriously, "Huo Feng, you must understand, studying and taking exams is not for others, improvement is not for others, it’s all for yourself. Whether you’re in the top 400, top 200, or even second in the whole section, it has nothing to do with me. Life is your own, whether you want to strive or not is up to you. You can’t say that your efforts are all for me. But I never asked you to try hard..."

Pu Sangzhi delivered a thorough lecture.

To boil it down to one sentence, it meant: What does your score have to do with me! Even if you fail, I don’t care!

Huo Feng didn’t know how many times he’d been deeply hurt by Pu Sangzhi’s ruthless words.

He sighed inwardly, upset yet forced a smile, "Alright, no bet, I’ll work hard on my own."

Pu Sangzhi was satisfied with his response, "Qianqian’s midterms are coming up soon too. I hope both of you do well. As a reward..."

Huo Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up, "There’s a reward? You should have said so sooner! What is it? A meal or a date?"

Pu Sangzhi smiled and said, "As a reward for your improved performance, I will increase the intensity of your review sessions. In addition to the homework assigned by the school, I will also assign you extra work."

"Ah!"

Huo Feng screamed in horror, suddenly feeling a pang of heartache!

Pu Sangzhi continued smiling, "Also, if possible, I’d like you to pay 100 yuan for study materials. I want to buy some test papers for you."

Huo Feng’s mouth hung open, unable to suppress the roar inside, "Pu Sangzhi! Are you crazy!"

Pu Sangzhi laughed aloud, "So, are you still thinking about Tsinghua?"

Huo Feng bit his lip, his eyes brimming with tears as he agreed, "Hmm..."

Heaven knows, the moment he agreed, his heart was bleeding!

Pu Sangzhi was still laughing, "Good luck."

Huo Feng nodded solemnly, "Hmm..."

This was the first time Huo Feng had a phone conversation with Pu Sangzhi, and it only lasted 15 minutes.

Yet, in those 15 minutes, five were spent on his father, and ten on discussing the five-year university entrance exam and three years of mock tests...

The chat was not enjoyable at all; it depressed Huo Feng so much!

After hanging up, Huo Feng flopped straight onto the bed...

His eyes were lifeless, his pupils dilated, his face a picture of despair as he stared at the ceiling.

Huo Feng then realized that being with a good student came with such a price.

Study, study, and more study...

All his entertainment activities like gaming, Internet cafes, billiards, KTV might just be squashed by his girlfriend.

Huo Feng felt his heart aching.

At the same time, Pu Sangzhi, who had just hung up the phone, was all smiles, feeling cheerful.

Pu Sangzhi thought: Once she filled up Huo Feng’s time, he wouldn’t have time to get involved in messy activities anymore. A Huo Feng who doesn’t fight, smoke, drink, or skip classes would gradually get better and become more outstanding.

...

Sunday, another school returning day.

Huo Feng came early in the morning to pick up Pu Sangzhi.

When he arrived, Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen were just stepping out, and Huo Feng tagged along with them.

Pu Sangzhi had injured her foot, and Chen Huifen was worried, so she took her to the hospital early in the morning.

At this time, Huo Feng coincidentally made many contributions by being at their side.

He accompanied them to the hospital from start to finish, handling all the payments and running errands.

Additionally, while waiting for the medical checks, Huo Feng also went to the hospital’s snack shop to buy food for them, fully demonstrating his caring nature!

This behavior certainly won Huo Feng the favor of Chen Huifen!

While Huo Feng was away, Chen Huifen praised him profusely to Pu Sangzhi.

Pu Sangzhi did not object.

Because Huo Feng indeed performed very well, which moved her a bit.

In the afternoon, Pu Sangzhi routinely tutored Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian.

The midterm exams were approaching, and such large scale tests were undoubtedly the best way to check the effectiveness of the tutoring.

Thus, Pu Sangzhi highlighted many key points for them to memorize and take home.

Pu Sangzhi tutored them earnestly, and although both Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian were motivated, they found it exhausting...

In the evening, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng headed to Longxiang High School together.

Pu Sangzhi’s foot was better, so she wouldn’t let Huo Feng carry or even help her at all!

Huo Feng, who couldn’t lend a hand, felt particularly uncomfortable internally; he could only stand aside with his satchel, watching Pu Sangzhi limping with heartache.

When they both entered the school gate together, coincidentally, they met Shen Nuan at the school entrance, wearing a red armband and on duty as a member of the student council.

At that moment, standing at the school gate, Shen Nuan was responsible for checking if students wore school uniforms, wore school badges, or had hairstyles against the regulations.

As soon as Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi arrived, Shen Nuan immediately caught Huo Feng and unapologetically extended a hand toward him, "Huo Feng! Take off your earring!"

In the student council, only two people would boldly obstruct and challenge Huo Feng like this. One was Pu Sangzhi, and the other was Shen Nuan.

Huo Feng, annoyed, glanced at Shen Nuan, "Is it really necessary?"

Shen Nuan nodded earnestly, "You must take it off! Boys are not allowed to wear studs or earrings!"

Huo Feng, not wanting to argue with Shen Nuan, casually removed his earring and tossed it into Shen Nuan’s palm, "Keep it safe, return it to me on Friday."

Shen Nuan pocketed the item, "Alright, you may go."

Only then were Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi allowed to pass.

As they entered the school gate together, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but take another look back at Shen Nuan.

Huo Feng noticed Pu Sangzhi’s attention on Shen Nuan and immediately recalled how he had once asked Shen Nuan to pretend to pursue him.

Huo Feng suddenly felt elated, "Sangzhi, are you jealous?"

Pu Sangzhi turned and glared at him, "No."

Huo Feng narrowed his phoenix eyes, with a ’I’ve seen right through you’ expression, "Look at you, still not admitting it. If you admit it, I’ll tell you a huge secret!"

Pu Sangzhi ignored him completely, "I don’t want to know."

Huo Feng: "You really don’t want to know about my relationship with Fat Nuan?"

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, "Fat Nuan?"

Isn’t that nickname a bit too intimate?

That darn Huo Feng... So flirtatious?

Huo Feng smiled and nodded, "Yeah, she’s chubby, I usually tease her like that."

Pu Sangzhi’s expression turned cold, "Oh."

Seeing her unhappy look, Huo Feng tucked his hands into his pockets, looking excited, "Sangzhi, admit to being jealous, and I’ll tell you some good news."

Pu Sangzhi denied, "No."

Huo Feng: "Stop being a sore loser!"

Pu Sangzhi became a bit impatient, "I said no, and I mean it, I’m not afraid of her."

Huo Feng was pleased with her confidence, "Girlfriend is indeed awesome, trusting me so much that I won’t fall for someone else!"

Pu Sangzhi turned around, raising a finger in warning, "I am not your girlfriend, stop calling me that randomly!"

Hearing her somewhat angry tone, Huo Feng didn’t dare to joke further.

He quickly explained, "Sangzhi, don’t be mad, she is my relative."

Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi paused...
