Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 142 - 136、Lao Huo is together with Sangzhi again!

Sunday was the second day of midterm exams, covering four different subjects.

Monday morning marked the last subject of the midterms.

Huo Feng crammed at the last minute and managed to survive the midterm exams...

On Monday afternoon, he slept the entire afternoon away in his dormitory, replenishing his body and spirit, and restoring his energy.

When he woke up, he finally felt somewhat rejuvenated...

Conversely, after nine exams, Pu Sangzhi felt no pressure at all.

While other students lazily rested and caught up on sleep Monday afternoon, she went alone to the school library and spent the afternoon buried in books.

Pu Sangzhi did not own a mobile phone, so when she had free time, she liked to read novels.

She had read many foreign classics and preferred the original English versions because she felt the meaning of some words in English was more beautiful than the Chinese translations.

That afternoon, Pu Sangzhi returned her completed copy of Les Misérables to the library administrator, then picked out La Dame aux Camélias from the shelves and began to read.

As she flipped through the pages, she slowly walked out from the stack of books and settled down at an empty seat. Then, she dived into the ocean of books, enjoying her reading time.

Pu Sangzhi’s love for reading originated from her father.

Her father had loved to tell her stories and read with her from a young age. He had always told her about the immeasurable charm of words. By reading a book, you discover a principle, encounter a world, and experience a life.

Thus, Pu Sangzhi loved reading novels, enjoyed books with strong narratives, relished plot twists, and appreciated sifting through the trifle matters of life.

Pu Sangzhi exuded a literary aura that was highly attractive. This temperament was undoubtedly linked to her love for reading...

She just sat quietly there, merely turning the pages with her slender fingers, her expression calm and serene as an orchid, creating a scene so pure and beautiful it was intoxicating...

In the afternoon, Huo Mingshan came to the library, carrying his laptop.

From afar, he saw Pu Sangzhi immersed in her book, a sight that filled him with pride. Watching his outstanding student, his expression lifted gently, revealing a hint of warmth.

Huo Mingshan acknowledged again that among all the students he had taught over the years, Pu Sangzhi was an impeccably outstanding one.

She possessed countless merits and virtually invisible flaws, truly a prodigy akin to a rare gem.

Having such a student, how could Huo Mingshan not cherish and diligently nurture her, and how could he allow his unsuccessful son to scheme against her and corrupt her morals?

Huo Mingshan reaffirmed to himself in his heart that he must protect Pu Sangzhi and prevent Huo Feng, that little rascal, from leading a horde of zombies to attack the city.

"Sangzhi..."

Huo Mingshan called out softly and walked towards Pu Sangzhi.

The library was very quiet, so though Huo Mingshan called her softly, Pu Sangzhi still heard him.

Looking up, she saw Huo Mingshan approaching and quickly got up to greet him, bowing respectfully, "Mr. Huo."

"It’s nothing, have a seat, don’t get up for me."

Huo Mingshan quickly reached Pu Sangzhi and placed his laptop beside her.

Pu Sangzhi looked at him with some confusion, "Mr. Huo..."

Huo Mingshan explained with a warm smile, "I came to find some materials and do some writing here. Have a seat, don’t mind me."

Pu Sangzhi then sat down, "Okay."

After she sat down, Huo Mingshan plugged in his laptop and went to the shelves, picked several books, and returned.

Huo Mingshan placed the books on the table, then turned on his computer, ready to start work.

Pu Sangzhi saw that he had picked out several psychology books and looked somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Huo, are you studying for a psychology degree?"

"No, not at all."

Huo Mingshan responded with a smile, "I am writing a paper on the multifaceted psychology of adolescents."

Huo Mingshan was soon up for a professional title evaluation, so he was quite busy with his career during this period.

Pu Sangzhi noticed that his computer was turned on, and suddenly a very eye-catching desktop photo appeared on the large screen!

"Mr. Huo..."

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but ask, "Is this your son?"

Indeed...

The desktop photo on Huo Mingshan’s laptop showed Huo Feng as a child, wearing split pants and sitting on the dirt, his mouth wide open, crying so hard that his eyes were squinted into slits.

The photo... was quite amusing.

Huo Mingshan glanced at the desktop image nervously, worried that Pu Sangzhi would recognize it.

However, when he looked at the photo again, his fear vanished.

Because in the photo, Huo Feng looked extremely awkward, crying so hard that his whole face was contorted, and it was impossible to see any hint of Huo Feng in him.

Huo Mingshan smiled, "Yes, my son. He has been mischievous since he was little. Back then, he was playing in the mud when I scolded him. Seeing how ugly he cried, I threatened him, saying, ’If you keep crying, I’ll take a picture and show it to you later.’ And that’s how this photo came about..."

Pu Sangzhi also laughed upon hearing this, "So that’s the story. Mr. Huo’s son must be quite young, right?"

Huo Mingshan felt a bit awkward, and after thinking for a while, replied, "Not very old, still young."

Pu Sangzhi looked at the photo and guessed that Huo Mingshan’s son must be about elementary school age.

She hadn’t expected that Mr. Huo, who appeared quite old, would have such a young son. He must have had him late in life. It seemed like Mr. Huo must really dote on his son then. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Pu Sangzhi had a slight idea.

She thought that perhaps in the future on Teacher’s Day, or some other significant holidays, she couldn’t afford expensive gifts for Mr. Huo, but she could give small gifts to Mr. Huo’s son...

Thus, in the near future, for a certain period of time, Huo Feng inexplicably received from Huo Mingshan gifts Pu Sangzhi sent, including calligraphy practice sheets, drawing boards, colored pencils, crayons, and even Transformers toys... making him quite baffled!

Huo Mingshan started writing his paper.

Pu Sangzhi also sat beside him, diligently reading her book.

The teacher and student sat together at the same table, both silent, but the atmosphere was not awkward despite the quiet.

During breaks from reading, Pu Sangzhi occasionally glanced at Huo Mingshan’s computer screen...

She saw Huo Mingshan researching while writing his paper.

The paper’s main content directly addressed the multifaceted psychology of adolescents, describing various psychological approaches they have toward studies and other matters.

Finding the article quite interesting, Pu Sangzhi watched for a while longer and took note of some content.

Lately, Huo Mingshan told her, "I’ve been teaching for so many years, and I’ve seen students of all personalities. There are the especially well-behaved ones like you, and those who are very rebellious. I might be regressing the more I teach... In my youth, I never thought about giving up on those rebellious students; no matter how defiant, I would still struggle and refuse to abandon them. Teaching up to now, if I encounter those kinds of rebellious students again, I wouldn’t spend as much effort on them as before. Instead, I now prefer to invest more in students who are serious about learning, even if their academic achievements are not that great, I’m willing to put in the effort to tutor them."

Pu Sangzhi nodded upon hearing this, understanding the meaning behind Huo Mingshan’s words.

Actually, she had always felt this way too.

She had never hung out with bad students before because she felt that bad students lacked goals and ideals, spending their days in school idly and wasting time.

However, having spent some time with two bad students recently, she realized they were just lazy and not really bad...

It was merely their attitude that was off, and it would be best if it could be corrected.

Just like Huo Feng...

Pu Sangzhi had watched his study attitude transform from careless to diligently thorough. Such a change comforted her and made her proud.

Pu Sangzhi thought that maybe it was because she was still young. Therefore, she was willing to spend time on these classmates, to steer them back to the right path and encourage them to become excellent individuals.

However, she didn’t express her thoughts.

Thus, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Mingshan quietly sat together in the library for an afternoon, and from Huo Mingshan, she learned quite a bit about teaching students...

This afternoon would turn into a significant turning point in her life.

...

Around five o’clock, after waking, Huo Feng learned from various sources that Pu Sangzhi was in the library.

He tidied himself up and hurried to the library, planning to meet Pu Sangzhi for a meal...

But what he hadn’t anticipated was that just as he arrived at the library entrance, he saw Huo Mingshan and Pu Sangzhi standing together...

Huo Feng’s legs slipped in his rush, his body spun 360 degrees, and he ran out of the library as if fleeing.

Afterward, he saw Huo Mingshan and Pu Sangzhi come out of the library and head toward the cafeteria together.

Huo Feng felt so angry! Annoyed! Furious!

He desperately wanted to put a sack over his dad’s head, drag him out, and ditch him in an alley.

But not only did he not do that, he even followed them in a pitifully surreptitious manner, all the way to the cafeteria...

In the cafeteria, Huo Feng chose a rather distant spot, specifically sitting opposite Pu Sangzhi to ensure that she would see him...

And indeed, Pu Sangzhi did notice him.

Due to Huo Mingshan’s presence, she couldn’t greet Huo Feng.

When Huo Mingshan brought over the food and sat down, he also noticed Huo Feng in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

He hummed internally, immediately convinced that Huo Feng was following Pu Sangzhi.

Huo Mingshan then said to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, let’s switch seats. The fan over there is too strong; let me sit there."

Thus, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Mingshan got up to switch places...

At that moment, Huo Mingshan and Huo Feng found themselves directly facing each other, staring across the distance!

Huo Feng glared, infuriated to the point of itching teeth!

Even though it was a movie meant for three, he always seemed to be left without a name...
