Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 135: Lesson 129: Scold Dai Shanshan!

This afternoon, Huo Feng was not in a good mood.

It was not the kind of anger-induced bad mood, but he was genuinely upset.

Even though he had managed to fool his friends by acting crazy and stupid in front of them,

in his heart, Huo Feng knew that he was indeed disliked.

Huo Feng never used to mind his father’s disdain because he knew he was a bad student who loved to play, despised studying, and did whatever pleased him.

Huo Feng thought he was a person who knew when to weigh things carefully.

He would play when it was time to play, and he would study when it was time to study.

Wasn’t it just like in middle school when he studied intensely for a year and still made it into this school?

Therefore, he never took his father’s contempt seriously; instead, he had his own set of ideas.

But today...

Just today...

The act of Huo Mingshan stabbing him in the back, Huo Feng cared about that.

His mood was not solely due to Pu Sangzhi making it clear in front of so many classmates that she wanted nothing to do with him.

The larger reason was that his father had let Pu Sangzhi suffer the injury.

Huo Feng could understand Pu Sangzhi’s grievances.

He knew she was a good student and probably had never been scolded by a teacher from childhood to adulthood.

But now, she had been warned because of him.

It was only natural for her to be angry at this.

Yet even after feeling wronged, she still cared about his studies, which brought some consolation to Huo Feng.

This entire afternoon, Huo Feng did not pay attention in class at all.

He lay on the desk, flipping through the notes Pu Sangzhi had given him, and thought about a lot of things.

In the end, he thought: perhaps, it was time for him to get serious. He had to prove to his dad that he was worthy of Pu Sangzhi!

...

And this same afternoon, in the freshman (class 1) classroom of building 1, Pu Sangzhi was also engulfed in a state of chaos and confusion.

Pu Sangzhi had also not listened to the lessons all afternoon.

She too was zoning out, and becoming lost in thought.

In her mind, she kept recalling Huo Feng, struck by her words to the point of speechlessness.

Pu Sangzhi felt she was a bit too harsh, a bit too excessive...

Today at noon, Huo Feng’s face bore a hint of anger, but in truth, she could also see that he was hurt by her words.

Huo Feng often joked that she was like Nurse Yu, always able to leave him wounded all over with her sharp words.

Pu Sangzhi had never admitted it before, but now, she really did think she was that kind of person.

She felt very guilty towards Huo Feng.

The more guilt she felt, the more vividly she remembered Huo Feng’s angry face and the kindness he had shown her in the days before.

Like at the sports meet,

The more she remembered these things, the more uneasy she became...

Pu Sangzhi thought about it all afternoon.

The more she thought, the worse she felt about herself and towards Huo Feng.

In the end, she thought: perhaps, she should write him an apology letter? She would apologize sincerely, and treat him better in the future. Would that make up for things?

...

As the muddled afternoon went by, she still had to pull herself together.

In the afternoon, Huo Feng had another big task in his daily plan, which was to settle accounts with Dai Shanshan.

Huo Feng had his own methods when it came to cornering someone.

He wasn’t the kind of mindless thug who would lead people to block someone in front of the senior building directly. That would easily draw a teacher’s attention and, before even laying a hand on the person, he might get a lecture from a teacher.

First, Huo Feng sent a student he knew to go up and pass a message to Dai Shanshan.

Meanwhile, Huo Feng and his group waited at a scarcely populated spot on campus, expecting Dai Shanshan to come voluntarily.

If Dai Shanshan didn’t come, it meant she was clearly opposing Huo Feng and the others, and her future would be even worse.

Therefore, upon receiving the news, Dai Shanshan, even though her heart was pounding with fear, had no choice but to obediently head over.

In the school, there was a restroom in the experimental teaching building that was quite secluded, rarely visited by students or teachers.

Thus, Huo Feng and the others waited inside that restroom, chewing gum, playing with their phones, and waiting for Dai Shanshan to arrive.

Guided by that student, with trepidation in her heart, Dai Shanshan arrived at the restroom...

It was the men’s restroom, and as the door opened, Dai Shanshan was pushed in by the student.

The restroom door then closed behind them.

Dai Shanshan was locked inside, forced to face... 11 menacing boys.

Huo Feng and his gang didn’t show any mercy, especially to girls, when the situation called for it.

Just like last week, Huo Feng had ruthlessly beaten up 4 delinquent girls for the sake of Lin Qianqian and Pu Sangzhi...

Dai Shanshan stood quivering in front of the 11 boys, her legs trembling, her body shaking, and her face pale with fear...

Among the 11 boys, Huo Feng was the leader.

Huo Feng was seen sitting on the sink in the bathroom, one foot propped on the sink, the other dangling in the air, his posture domineering and his face full of arrogance.

"Come on..."

Pan Bo stepped out from the group of ten, slung an arm around Dai Shanshan’s shoulder, and pulled her from the door to stand in front of Huo Feng.

"Don’t be scared, girl, just behave and you’ll be fine."

Pan Bo patted Dai Shanshan’s shoulder with a feigned smile and asked, "Do you know who you offended to end up here?"

Surrounded by these 11 men, Dai Shanshan was already shaking from the violent aura they emitted.

At this moment, she had no choice but to obey...

Since she chose to come here to face these 11 men, she had to confront this fear.

Dai Shanshan encouraged herself with this thought.

She took a deep breath in, exhaled deeply, and after several seconds she began, "I... I was wrong, Brother Feng..."

In front of her, Huo Feng was chewing gum on the left side of his cheek and had a lollipop stuffed into the right, his swaggering and arrogant expression more than making up for his lack of sophisticated accessories.

Seeing him snort with a smirk, his lips turning up at an angle, he bore a bad-boy smile with a chilling menace.

"So tell me, what did you do wrong?" Huo Feng asked, his tone flippant.

Dai Shanshan stuttered in reply, "It’s... it was during the last 1500 meters... I caused Pu Sangzhi... I knocked her down... I was wrong..."

"And then?"

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Since you realize your mistake, why haven’t I seen you apologize?"

Dai Shanshan’s body shook slightly, "I... I’ll go apologize right away... I’m sorry."

"You are saying sorry to me?"

Huo Feng’s piercing eyes locked onto her, "Did you wrong me?"

Dai Shanshan didn’t know if her answers were right or wrong, but she could only brazenly respond, "I... I’m sorry, Brother Feng... I... I hurt your girlfriend... I was wrong..."

Huo Feng laughed, "Alright then. Tell me, who asked you to set her up?"

Dai Shanshan shook her head quickly, "No... no one..."

By her side, Pan Bo shoved her and warned in a low voice, "Tell the truth, if not, the consequences will be dire."

After Pan Bo finished his statement, Gu Yang brought over a bucket of water and dropped it with a clang next to Dai Shanshan.

Although they didn’t do anything, this action was a blatant warning.

Dai Shanshan swallowed hard, closed her eyes, and spilled everything, "That day... it was because they provoked me, saying I couldn’t lose to Pu Sangzhi... they said she couldn’t be first... They kept saying it in my ear, over and over, and I eventually couldn’t hold back anymore... so I did what I did. I really didn’t want to... I regretted it soon after... I’m sorry, I was really wrong..."

Huo Feng frowned, "Who are ’they’?"

Dai Shanshan pressed her lips together, struggled for a while, but finally ratted out her teammates, "It’s... it’s the girls from our cheer squad."

Huo Feng further probed, "Is Han Feiyi the leader?"

Dai Shanshan shook her head, "No... nobody led it. It was just everyone talking... I was running, tired and breaking down, and with them provoking me like that... I just couldn’t hold it in, and I just..."

Huo Feng roughly understood the course of events.

Seeing that Dai Shanshan’s remorse seemed genuine, and she didn’t tell any lies, Huo Feng decided to let it go and not push things too far.

Huo Feng generally didn’t hit people easily; even though he strutted around the school bullying people, at most he would just warn, threaten, intimidate, and boss them around.

Unless truly provoked, Huo Feng wouldn’t lift a finger.

After all, his father was in this school.

After all, Huo Feng couldn’t afford to make a huge scene that could get him and his brothers punished.

He was one of those who knew the stakes, which was why even after many years of arrogance, Huo Feng had never faced any school discipline.

"Fine. Since you’re behaving, I’ll let you off—just for today."

Huo Feng raised his hand, his gaze fixated on his nails while casually stating, "However, you need to apologize to Sangzhi. She was injured because of you and lost her honor. You must compensate for this physical and emotional damage."

Dai Shanshan nodded eagerly, "Okay... okay, I understand..."

Huo Feng added, "I’ll be watching you to see how you behave. If you don’t act right, I still won’t let you off."

Dai Shanshan’s body trembled slightly as she meekly replied, "Okay..."

"There’s more..."

Finally, Huo Feng warned, "Go back and give those girls in your class a warning. Tell them, if they dare bully Pu Sangzhi or Shen Nuan, I, Huo Feng, will not let it slide! Girls, I’ll hit just the same."

Dai Shanshan blurted anxiously, "Okay..."

Thereupon, under the oppressive authority of Huo Feng, Dai Shanshan began a period of servitude to Pu Sangzhi.
