Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 143 - 137. Huo Feng, I will start teaching you seriously today! (2)
Chapter 143: 137. Huo Feng, I will start teaching you seriously today! (2)
Since running into Huo Mingshan the second time and finding him with Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng was once again forced to restrain his feelings, struggling to keep his longing under control, and managed to avoid seeking Pu Sangzhi at school...
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...He endured miserably for three whole days.
Finally, on Wednesday after school, they had a holiday for first-year students. Huo Feng at last found relief from his long-lasting longing...
As usual, Huo Feng walked Pu Sangzhi home. Along the way, he chattered nonstop, pouring out his yearning.
The midterm exam results would probably come out next week, and truthfully, Pu Sangzhi was somewhat looking forward to seeing Huo Feng’s scores this time.
Especially after spending an afternoon with Huo Mingshan in the library that day, Pu Sangzhi felt a greater sense of responsibility towards Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian, wanting to be more accountable for both of them.
So, Pu Sangzhi planned to start forming a study plan for Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian from now on, supervising their academic progress.
She shared her plans with Huo Feng, letting him know to prepare for a serious and diligent academic life ahead.
Upon hearing her decision, Huo Feng felt a mix of joy and concern.
Nevertheless, he lifted his head, brimming with enthusiasm as he agreed, "Bring it on, use any method you want. As long as it gets me into Tsinghua, no hardship is too great!"
Pu Sangzhi saw his fearless demeanor and knew he was surely underestimating her study plan.
That’s fine...Ignorant people are always a bit happier.
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and pondered, "Tomorrow’s Thursday, and Qianqian has Saturday off, so you can’t come find me at Qianqian’s tomorrow."
Huo Feng quickly responded, "No problem, I’ll just visit your house."
Pu Sangzhi did not want Huo Feng visiting her home too frequently.
Once this happened once or twice, he would surely make a habit of dropping by her house now and then...
That would definitely affect her. Even if she wasn’t worried about any slant shadows, her mom would certainly start thinking awry...
So, after some contemplation, Pu Sangzhi said, "Don’t come to my house. Let’s meet at the school library."
"Ahh..."
Huo Feng let out a miserable groan, "I just escaped school today, and you want to go back tomorrow? You really love school too much, don’t you?"
Pu Sangzhi replied, "Our school library isn’t crowded and the atmosphere there is suitable for studying."
"You’re kidding,"
Huo Feng rebutted, "I saw you with your class teacher leaving the library just a few days ago! That place is full of teachers. I get a headache just seeing teachers now. Can we find a place to study without teachers around~"
"Let me think..."
Pu Sangzhi thought for a moment, and a second later, she announced, "There’s no better place, so it’s settled for the library."
"No way~"
Huo Feng let out a pig-like squeal, "Then let’s go to your place, or else my place! Or maybe we could hang out at a little cafe somewhere, or else..." "Ah!"
Suddenly, an excellent location flashed through Huo Feng’s mind, and he burst out shouting.
Pu Sangzhi was startled by his sudden exclamation, raising an eyebrow and staring at him with scorn.
"I’ve got a great place! An absolutely great place!"
Huo Feng raised a finger, excited, "That settles it, I’ll take you there tomorrow!"
Pu Sangzhi looked bewildered, "Huh?"
Huo Feng suddenly laughed, "Hey, my buddies and I have a secret hangout spot where we usually meet to hang out. Let’s go there! I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning!"
Although Pu Sangzhi didn’t understand what place he was talking about, hearing him say that he and his brothers usually met there to hang out... her first instinct was that it probably wasn’t a good place.
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "Isn’t it bad to study at a place you go to hang out?"
"It’s not just a hangout spot, well it is, but it can also be used for studying,"
Huo Feng, twisting his words around, finally waved his hand and declared, "That’s settled then! Tomorrow morning at 9 am I’ll pick you up, no, make that 8 am. I’ll bike you there."
Pu Sangzhi: "It has to be in the afternoon, I still need to cook lunch for my mom."
Huo Feng patted his chest, "Then tomorrow morning at 8 I’ll be at your place, cook lunch for your mom, and then we can head out. How about we study for the whole day?"
Pu Sangzhi narrowed her eyes, "Unnecessary... Why should I spend a whole day with you?"
Huo Feng, now smiling smugly, "Because I’m your future husband. So you need to spend time training me now."
Pu Sangzhi chuckled, "If that’s the reason, I’d rather give up on you now."
Huo Feng climbed onto her shoulder with one hand, "Impossible, you can’t! You’re already head over heels in love with me!"
FInishing his words, he was met with Pu Sangzhi’s glare.
Huo Feng slowly withdrew his hand, "Anyway, I should congratulate you for snagging a husband with so much potential. To make this potential stock soar into the sky, you now have to invest time in me, the more the better! 24 hours a day is fine too!"
Pu Sangzhi, hearing him start to babble again, simply ignored him.
She quickened her pace, limping toward home.
Huo Feng could catch up with her in just a few long strides, continuing to chatter beside her ear...
"Sangzhi, have you read all those nurture novels? I feel that’s what we’re doing now; you’re nurturing your little husband!"
"Sangzhi, I promise you, every minute you spend on me now will not be wasted. In the future, I’ll definitely provide you a wealthy life, where you’ll have ’no concept of money’!"
"Sangzhi, you’ve seen that I’m a very outstanding person, right? You must have ranked me in your heart, hasn’t it kept increasing?"
"Sangzhi, it’s alright if you don’t speak. I’ll take your silence as agreement. I have an eye like a flaming torch; I can tell you like me~"
Pu Sangzhi listened to all these messy words all the way and couldn’t help but laugh.
At her laugh, Huo Feng caught the opportunity to spew even more nonsensical words...
The atmosphere was very pleasant all the way.
However, the journey was still too short; Huo Feng felt he had just revealed the tip of the iceberg in his wholehearted confessions when they had already arrived at her front door.
It’s hard to meet, and even harder to part!
...
Upon returning home, Pu Sangzhi’s first action was usually to drop her school bag and run to the office room to find Chen Huifen.
However, today when she arrived home, Chen Huifen was not in the office room but came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a plate of Coca-Cola chicken wings.
"Xiaosang, you’re back."
Upon seeing Pu Sangzhi, Chen Huifen’s face broke into a smile, "Sit down and eat, is it just you?"
Pu Sangzhi put down her school bag and hurriedly approached, taking the plate from Chen Huifen’s hands, "Mom, why did you cook today?"
Chen Huifen smiled warmly, "I paid off the money I owed auntie today and wanted to give myself a break; I’m resting tonight."
Pu Sangzhi was delighted upon hearing this, "Really? That’s great, Mom..."
Chen Huifen nodded with a smile, "I’ve stewed a pot of pig’s trotter; it’s good for your injured foot. Sit down. I’ll go serve it."
"Mom, I’ll come with you." Pu Sangzhi followed happily.
Paying off their debts was indeed a celebratory occasion for Sangzhi and her mother.
When their company shut down years ago, they incurred a huge external debt and also owed a lot of money to family and friends.
Over the past year, Chen Huifen worked day and night, without a single day off, laboring hard to repay the debts they owed relatives.
Finally, after months of effort, she had repaid one relative’s debt in full: ¥30,000.
Although it was only ¥30,000, and it was to the relative they owed the least, it still relieved some of their burden.
Chen Huifen finally gave herself a half-day off, knowing Pu Sangzhi was coming home today, she personally cooked dinner.
The table was set with four dishes and one soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, a nutrition-rich meal with vibrant colors.
When everything was ready and it was time to sit down, Chen Huifen suddenly remembered and asked, "Hey, I’m sure I heard Xiaofeng’s voice earlier. Where is he now?"
Earlier, when Huo Feng had dropped Pu Sangzhi at her doorstep, she had sent him away after some rambling...
Probably Chen Huifen had heard him talking at that moment, and so now she asked about him.
To this, Pu Sangzhi felt both embarrassed and a bit helpless, "Mom, he just dropped me off at home; why do you keep bringing him up? Let’s eat, never mind about him!"
As she spoke, Pu Sangzhi put a Coca-Cola chicken wing on Chen Huifen’s plate. freёnovelkiss.com
Chen Huifen looked at Pu Sangzhi with an amused gaze, "I think Xiaofeng is quite good. You could consider him. Even if it’s not urgent now, you could start by forming a bond."
Pu Sangzhi became flustered, "Mom, what are you talking about! I’m not even of age yet, how can you think about these things."
Chen Huifen chuckled softly, "I’m not encouraging you to date early; I just think you should observe him. If he truly is a good prospect, it’s better to confirm your relationship early; to have someone to rely on in college."
Pu Sangzhi turned red with urgency AND embarrassment, "Mom, isn’t this exactly encouraging me to date early?"
Seeing Pu Sangzhi’s anxious face, Chen Huifen shook her head with a laugh, not teasing her anymore, "Alright alright, I won’t say anymore. You know best."
Pu Sangzhi stubbornly replied, "Anyway, I won’t date him in high school; no early dating for me!"
Chen Huifen: "Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi thought for a moment and then said, "And it might not be him in college either!"
Chen Huifen: "Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi: "Anyway, it’s not definitely him, there’s a big chance it’s not him!"
Chen Huifen: "Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi: "Mom...why do you look like you’re laughing at me?"
Chen Huifen couldn’t help but laugh, yet said nothing.
