Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 141 - 135. Sangzhi and Shen Nuan!
Chapter 141: 135. Sangzhi and Shen Nuan!
Four exams in one day finally came to an end.
After the exams, Huo Feng felt as though he’d been skinned alive, so tired he thought he might go dumb.
Fortunately, after such an exhausting day, he had his close female friend by his side.
Pu Sangzhi accompanied him to the cafeteria for a meal, just the two of them...
Pu Sangzhi had originally resolved to limit her interactions with Huo Feng at school, to avoid any suspicions. But somehow, after holding out for a few days, she softened...
Maybe Huo Feng was just too persistent, or maybe she was just too easily swayed. In the end, her resolve collapsed over this one meal, and Pu Sangzhi had nothing to say about her own determination.
As the two of them dined, Huo Feng ordered eight dishes and one soup, filling a table meant for four.
"Sangzhi, have some chicken," he said.
As usual, he picked out the chicken from the shredded chicken salad and placed it on Pu Sangzhi’s bowl.
He never found these gestures troublesome.
He could have chosen not to order shredded chicken salad, but he did, meal after meal, repeating the same gesture.
Pu Sangzhi silently observed him, and watched her bowl gradually get covered with more shredded chicken. His small act was quite touching.
"You eat, don’t mind me," Pu Sangzhi said.
After Huo Feng had put half of the chicken in her bowl, he retracted his chopsticks and said, "Alright, let’s eat."
Soon, both of them were engrossed in eating their meal.
Huo Feng, who had skipped lunch, enjoyed his meal immensely and quickly finished a bowl of rice.
Not yet satisfied, he took his meal card and went back to the serving window to buy two more bowls of rice.
Pu Sangzhi ate leisurely and, looking up, saw him wolfing down his food in a manner that was somehow appealing.
Huo Feng ate with gusto but was by no means uncouth. He ate quickly yet neatly. He didn’t smack his lips, and when he stuffed food into his mouth, his cheeks would puff out, chewing with his mouth closed, which looked rather cute.
Every so often, Pu Sangzhi would glance at him and then press her lips together to stifle a laugh...
Just as the two of them were happily eating, suddenly, another pair of ’more than friends but not yet lovers’ appeared in the school cafeteria.
When the two students in uniform entered Huo Feng’s view, he stopped devouring his meal and waved at them, "Haozi!"
Indeed...
The approaching male and female students were none other than Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan.
Shen Nuan had just finished class, and Lin Yuhao was waiting for her under the high school building, hoping to take a walk with her on the athletic field to chat and get to know each other better.
But Shen Nuan mentioned she was hungry, so Lin Yuhao had no choice but to bring her to the school cafeteria to eat...
And just their luck, they ran into Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi.
At this time, the cafeteria wasn’t crowded, and a few students sat scattered around at the tables.
Called over by Huo Feng, Shen Nuan excitedly ran over to him, while Lin Yuhao followed behind, looking rather helpless.
In fact, Lin Yuhao had hoped for more time alone with Shen Nuan...
And damn it, this was the first time he had successfully asked Shen Nuan out!
At that moment, Lin Yuhao’s heart was filled with sorrow, yet he still had to smile...
"Huo Feng, so you’re here on a date!"
Shen Nuan ran all the way over, slapped Huo Feng’s shoulder, and while saying this, her gaze fixed on Pu Sangzhi sitting across.
Pu Sangzhi had heard from Huo Feng earlier that Shen Nuan was his aunt, so with that family tie, seeing Shen Nuan didn’t make her feel awkward.
Shen Nuan smiled at her, and Pu Sangzhi returned a faint smile.
"Yeah, aren’t you doing the same?" he said.
Huo Feng pulled Shen Nuan aside and looked at Lin Yuhao with a teasing expression.
Shen Nuan looked at Lin Yuhao, coughed awkwardly, and then added, "Let’s eat together."
Huo Feng frowned, "Scram." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Shen Nuan ignored him and turned to leave.
Lin Yuhao quickly followed Shen Nuan, and as he passed by Huo Feng, he greeted Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, "Bro Feng, sister-in-law."
The two soon went to get their food.
Pu Sangzhi watched the pair from a distance, and despite her usual disinterest in gossip, curiosity suddenly piqued, "Hey, isn’t that your brother? So they are actually a couple?"
Huo Feng chuckled, "Not yet, my buddy hasn’t won her over. But he’s already declared his sovereignty by moving in first."
"Oh..."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized something, "You guys... use the same tactics to chase girls?"
"No, no..."
Huo Feng waved his hand, "That kid is my student. I’ve taught him all I know about the art of pursuing girls in my lifetime, but I feel like he hasn’t learned it very well. Look at my auntie, she’s broad-minded and hefty, her generous face practically has ’I’m easy to chase’ written all over it, and yet he still hasn’t succeeded."
Pu Sangzhi knew he was bragging and smiled, not taking the bait.
At this moment, she seemed not to notice that Lin Yuhao was calling her ’sister-in-law’ and that Shen Nuan was talking about ’dating’...
It was unclear whether she hadn’t noticed or her mind was naturally inclined to ignore it, but in any case, Pu Sangzhi did not argue.
Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan got their food, and at Shen Nuan’s insistence, they sat at the table with Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi.
Thus, the cozy world for two became a world for four.
Their relationship wasn’t exactly close, but there was no awkwardness as they sat together for the meal.
Shen Nuan sat next to Pu Sangzhi in the same row, bowl in hand, chatting with Pu Sangzhi as they ate...
With Shen Nuan’s lively personality, she easily warmed up to people. Coupled with her cute looks, she was indeed a charming and well-liked person...
"Pu Sangzhi, I’ve recently heard a lot about you. It turns out not only are you beautiful, but you also have the top grades in the city. That’s really amazing, how do you do it?" Shen Nuan asked.
Pu Sangzhi was not good at taking compliments, and the praise made her bashful.
Luckily, Huo Feng knew she was modest and quickly jumped in to answer, "She’s just smart, how can you even ask such a silly question?"
Shen Nuan rolled her eyes at Huo Feng, "I wasn’t talking to you! I’m currently hitting it off with my future niece-in-law here. Can you not interrupt when women are talking?"
The words ’niece-in-law’ made Huo Feng laugh, and he obediently kept silent.
Then Shen Nuan continued to ask, "Pu Sangzhi, my brother-in-law mentioned you the other day. You’re so pretty, intelligent, and proactive, do you really fancy Huo Feng?"
Pu Sangzhi didn’t quite understand, "Your brother-in-law?"
Shen Nuan’s brother-in-law, none other than Huo Mingshan...
Sensing that Shen Nuan was about to reveal their relationship, Huo Feng quickly intervened, "Her brother-in-law is my dad. I often brag about Sangzhi to my dad, so he brags about Sangzhi to her too, that’s what she meant!"
While saying this, Huo Feng kicked Shen Nuan under the table, leaving a shoe print on her uniform pants.
Only then did Shen Nuan belatedly realize, remembering that Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan never acknowledged their father-son relationship at school, considering each other an embarrassment!
She almost blurted out their relationship a moment ago...
But thanks to Huo Feng’s timely reminder, Shen Nuan quickly descended the ladder he gave, "Exactly, Huo Feng’s dad, my brother-in-law keeps praising you to me, so I have a particularly good impression of you. Haha..."
Pu Sangzhi was confused by their conversation, but after coming to her senses, she asked Huo Feng, "I thought you don’t get along with your dad. Why would you talk nonsense in front of him?"
Huo Feng nodded solemnly, "Right, it’s precisely because we don’t get along that I want to brag about you. You’re the most positive presence by my side!"
Pu Sangzhi, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, but in the future, don’t spread things about me everywhere."
Huo Feng agreed, "Alright, alright... I won’t talk about it anymore."
Feeling somewhat guilty for Huo Feng getting scolded by Pu Sangzhi, Shen Nuan quickly interjected again, "Pu Sangzhi, actually, my big nephew is just like that. Whatever good qualities he has, he loves to show off. He’s been like that since he was little. Especially with you, since he fell for you, he just can’t help but brag about you everywhere. Anyway, all our neighbors know he’s pursuing you, he says he’s set on you."
Pu Sangzhi usually just listened to these things Huo Feng said and didn’t take them seriously.
However, hearing them from Shen Nuan gave them a different meaning, and she felt somewhat moved...
Her impression of Huo Feng’s actions... was no longer that negative and might even be turning positive.
"Yeah... I’ve set my sights on you."
At this point, Huo Feng also took the opportunity to chime in, "Sooner or later, you’re going to be my wife. I’ll definitely get into Tsinghua and marry you."
At those words, Pu Sangzhi glanced sideways at Huo Feng, "You’re not allowed to speak anymore, eat your food!"
Huo Feng, "Alright! Eating now!"
The atmosphere at the dining table remained warm, with Pu Sangzhi and Shen Nuan occasionally chatting and seeming to hit it off.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuhao, who was being ignored on the side... could only silently eat.
He was feeling a bit uncomfortable...
