Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 146 - 140, come to his secret base!
Chapter 146: 140, come to his secret base!
Pu Sangzhi slung her backpack over her shoulders and stepped out of her home, only to find a black mini electric scooter parked at her doorstep.
Smirking with pride, Huo Feng patted the scooter and said, "How about it? Today, big brother will take you on a ride."
Pu Sangzhi gave him a glance, "Minors aren’t allowed to ride electric scooters."
Huo Feng didn’t care about that rule at all. He waved his hand and retorted, "No worries, we won’t take the roads where they check."
While speaking, he picked up a pink motorcycle helmet and turned around to hand it to Pu Sangzhi, "Pretty, right? I bought this pink one especially for you."
Pu Sangzhi still looked at him warily, making no move to take it.
Seeing her hesitation, Huo Feng walked straight up to her and personally placed the pink helmet on her head.
"Hey... can we not travel like this?" Sangzhi tried to protest.
She wanted to say that they were both minors and riding a scooter on the road was far too dangerous, wasn’t it?
Moreover, Huo Feng had a history of being hit by a car while riding a bicycle...
However, Huo Feng didn’t have any such concerns. He forcefully secured the helmet on her and patted her shoulder, "Alright, follow big brother!"
Sangzhi: "..."
In the end, Sangzhi couldn’t stop him and had no choice but to get on his electric scooter, and the two of them sped off onto the road with great haste.
All along the way, Sangzhi’s heart hung high, caught in her throat.
She had never ridden with Huo Feng before, and with his reckless personality, she felt absolutely no sense of safety riding with him.
On the road, whenever she saw a car coming from a distance, Sangzhi would say in Huo Feng’s ear, "There’s a car, be careful!"
Initially, Huo Feng took these warnings as concern, but after she repeated herself five times in a row, he realized... she was afraid!
Though Huo Feng was still underage, his driving skills were definitely proficient.
He was a rule-breaker at heart; neither being of age nor underage could stop him from riding his electric scooter.
One could say that back in middle school, while classmates were still pedaling bicycles, Huo Feng had already started riding his mini electric scooter.
His scooter skills were like a glitched Indian racing through traffic, there was no problem carrying five buddies at once; one in front, four behind, the vehicle packed to the brim. Even when the police stopped him, he managed to claim he was so overloaded he couldn’t carry any more...
So, carrying Pu Sangzhi now was no big deal to him.
Huo Feng wanted to tease her, so he deliberately chased after cars. On the highway, he weaved from lane to lane, darting between various cars...
This scared Sangzhi terribly.
"Ah! Ah!"
Sangzhi screamed all the way, hitting Huo Feng’s shoulder as she yelled, "Don’t play like this! What if something happens?!"
At that moment, Huo Feng would just laugh, "Then hold on to me tight, I’ll cushion you if something happens!"
Pu Sangzhi: "You jerk! Pervert! Doing this on purpose!"
After the outburst, Sangzhi regrettably wrapped her arms around his waist.
And because of this, Huo Feng chuckled all the way...
...
From Longxiang High School to Centou Village, the scooter ride took about twenty minutes.
Sangzhi was anxious the whole way, but finally they reached their destination.
When she got off the scooter, her legs were wobbly. Leaning on the scooter, she took several deep breaths before she slowly managed to steady herself.
By the time she came to her senses, Huo Feng was already holding the helmet, resting one hand on the scooter’s handlebars, and watching her with a wry smile...
Sangzhi glared at him, huffed, and turned to walk away, but after a few steps, she turned back, "Huo Feng, where is it?"
Huo Feng pointed to a two-story building in front of them, "Look up."
Sangzhi raised her head, gazing at the house...
It was a small two-story flat-roofed house, its appearance unrefined, with gray cement walls and a tiled roof.
Sangzhi asked him, "Whose house is this? Is it really okay to just come in like this?"
Huo Feng casually put an arm around her shoulder, "It’s totally fine; this is Huo Feng’s home."
Sangzhi shrugged her shoulder to dodge his inappropriate move.
With a chuckle, Huo Feng said, "Let’s go, take a look inside."
After speaking, he picked up the two backpacks from the scooter and led her through the door.
Sangzhi followed Huo Feng into the modest two-story house.
The house’s interior wasn’t fancy, the concrete walls had been painted white, but the floors were still cement.
On the first floor, one could see the expansive living room at a glance. But instead of sofas and chairs, there was just a row of multicolored round stools.
There was no TV on the living room wall, but a white projection screen had been pulled down, and a desktop computer sat near the wall.
Besides that, a corner had been filled with some fitness equipment. Dumbbells, barbells, jump ropes, and it looked like there was even a yoga ball...
Such a strange setup left Pu Sangzhi somewhat puzzled.
She guessed left and right, unable to figure out which relative’s house this could belong to Huo Feng.
One look... and it was clear this wasn’t the decor of a normal household.
Huo Feng pointed towards the stairs, "Let’s go, up to the second floor."
Pu Sangzhi then followed him upstairs, full of curiosity and confusion.
On the second floor, there were tables and beds, the entire floor open without any walls to divide it. Due to the lack of walls, the space appeared even larger than the first floor.
Pu Sangzhi saw that in one corner, there were 5 bunk beds, capable of housing ten people.
Another area had a large billiards table, and there was even a small basketball hoop hanging on the wall.
With these types of entertainment facilities, Pu Sangzhi thought of Huo Feng and his gang of ten.
So, she had a vague idea...
She speculated that this place might be a house for their group to have fun and hang out.
In the center of the second floor, there was a long table and two leather sofas with an old-fashioned, bulky television set in front of them...
All in all, this place had average decor and equipment, everything looked average, yet it was a small place that had everything you needed.
After Pu Sangzhi carefully inspected both the first and second floors, Huo Feng seized the opportunity to ask, "What do you think? Any thoughts?"
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him and said, "Whose house is this? Do the adults allow you guys to mess around with it like this?"
Huo Feng laughed, "Don’t be shocked when I tell you, but this place, my sons and I saved up money together to buy it. The homeowners are my sons and me!"
Pu Sangzhi was indeed shocked, and her shock was tinged with doubt.
After all, this was a two-story house we’re talking about.
Purchasing a house is a huge financial commitment, such a serious matter, how could a few boys manage it...?
This matter, might just be the biggest tale Huo Feng had boasted about to Pu Sangzhi since she had known him.
Anyway, she didn’t believe it...
"Let’s go, sit over there."
Then, Huo Feng led Pu Sangzhi back to the center of the living room.
They tossed their backpacks onto the sofa, and Huo Feng pulled the long table close to create a suitable study area.
Pu Sangzhi sat on the sofa, her hand feeling the prickly surface; looking down, she saw the worn leather, the sofa looking like it had weathered through years.
At that moment, Huo Feng opened his backpack, took out a bag of snacks and drinks, spread them out on the table, and asked her, "Sangzhi, I bought some snacks, which one would you like to eat?"
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "Not now."
"Alright..."
Huo Feng swept the snacks to one side of the long table with a broad gesture, "Then we won’t eat for now. So, what shall we do next, have a chat to warm up?"
Pu Sangzhi had actually wanted to talk to him about the real story behind the house, but when he took the initiative, she simply picked up her backpack and said, "What’s there to talk about, let’s study!"
Huo Feng held his chin and sighed, "Ah... you really are a devil."
Pu Sangzhi gave him a sidelong look, and Huo Feng quickly amended, threatened, "You’re an angel among devils, rendering hatred into something too trite. ’Thank you’ spill from your eyes, even if you call me crazy, don’t call me a fool..."
He managed the first two lines reciting, but who knew he’d burst into song halfway through...
An impromptu rendition of "Angel in the Devil" made Pu Sangzhi shudder.
She looked at him unimpressed, "Stop singing, let’s study! Crazy!"
Huo Feng complied, "Oh..."
And so, their study session began.
Pu Sangzhi had the whole day to tutor him, and with ample time, she started with a schedule.
For instance, which subjects to study today, which tomorrow. How long to spend on each subject, how many key points they needed to understand...
These preparations took her 20 minutes to plan, filling an entire sheet of paper.
Seeing just this single page take away all his time for the next two days, Huo Feng felt heavy-hearted!
