Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 147 - 141, Sangzhi, it’s time for us to date.

When it came to studying, Pu Sangzhi was serious.

As soon as she turned the pages of her textbook and picked up her pen, she would dive headlong into the boundless ocean of knowledge, with such intensity that she seemed bewildered and dazed...

Under the whip of her devilish study plan, Huo Feng had reviewed two subjects, completed three test papers, and absorbed countless knowledge points that morning.

In the end... he felt like his brain was going to burst.

Thankfully, when his mind was all muddled from studying, Pu Sangzhi gave him a break and stopped the morning’s study session.

By noon, the duo, who had studied seriously all morning, were so hungry their stomachs were growling. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Huo Feng ordered some Sichuan cuisine for delivery, but because he ordered it late, the food hadn’t arrived by the time they finished studying.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Huo Feng took Pu Sangzhi to play some pool.

Pu Sangzhi knew nothing about pool, so Huo Feng taught her some knowledge, movements, and rules on the spot...

Pu Sangzhi originally had no interest in this sort of thing, but after Huo Feng’s instruction, she scored a shot... the sense of honor sparked her interest in the game.

Thus, the two of them began to play pool with great enthusiasm.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, suddenly, there was noise coming from downstairs...

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng stopped their game, locking eyes, and listened intently to the noise.

Gradually, the noise turned into voices, getting closer and clearer.

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng then realized that Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan had arrived.

Not sure how Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan were currently progressing... but given that Huo Feng had caught them meeting secretly, their progress seemed quite promising.

Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi walked to the top of the stairs on the second floor, and just as Pu Sangzhi was about to go downstairs, Huo Feng reached out to stop her.

Huo Feng made a shushing gesture to Pu Sangzhi, signaling her to keep quiet and not let Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan know they were there.

Pu Sangzhi didn’t know what Huo Feng was up to, but she strangely listened to him, stayed silent, and eavesdropped as well.

Downstairs, Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan’s conversation went as follows—

Lin Yuhao, "Do you remember approximately where it is?"

Shen Nuan, "I think it’s in that drawer over there... go check it out."

Lin Yuhao, "Found it. Let’s hurry up and go, or we’ll miss the start."

Immediately after, there was a flurry of hurried footsteps...

Having eavesdropped up to that point, Huo Feng could no longer hold back and shouted downstairs, "Hey, hey, where are you sneaking off to, you lovebirds?"

At his shout, Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan were both startled on the first floor!

Gotta say... it really felt like the thrill of being caught cheating on someone.

Shen Nuan hid behind Lin Yuhao with a red face, while Lin Yuhao protected her by standing in front and looked up to the second floor, staring back at Huo Feng.

"Feng bro... why are you here?"

"Me? Just accompanying the wife home!"

Huo Feng rudely pushed Pu Sangzhi out from beside him, and she nearly stumbled and fell... fortunately, Huo Feng caught her arm.

This rough action and the way he showed off Pu Sangzhi were truly annoying!

Pu Sangzhi glared at him angrily, then retorted, "I’m just tutoring him; don’t listen to his nonsense."

Huo Feng completely ignored Pu Sangzhi’s explanation, looked down, and chuckled at Lin Yuhao and Shen Nuan, "Where are you lovebirds planning to go, huh?"

Shen Nuan responded loudly: "Die Huo Feng! Your mouth stinks! Did you just eat poop or what!"

Huo Feng laughed, "Nope. Do you want some? How about I dip it in egg wash and bread crumbs and fry it for you to try?"

Pu Sangzhi was utterly disgusted by this...

Luckily, Lin Yuhao, who was used to such jokes, didn’t take it seriously and very formally replied to Huo Feng, "Feng bro, I’m taking Xiaonuan to the movies. She has an exam this afternoon and we’re running out of time, so we didn’t tell you."

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "No way? You’re taking her to a movie during our midterms? How did she get out of school?"

Lin Yuhao pursed his lips trying not to laugh, "Not telling you anymore, Feng bro; we really have to run. Bye!"

With that, Lin Yuhao took Shen Nuan and hurriedly left.

Seeing their haste, Huo Feng could guess that Xiaonuan must have sneaked out through the school’s side gate.

Talk about rebellious...

To sneak over the school wall to watch a movie during midterms, just for that reason, Huo Feng was sure Xiaonuan was definitely going to be caught by Lin Yuhao.

Xiaonuan was clearly trapped.

Watching them walk away, Huo Feng shook his head and sighed, turning to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, look at them, so eager for their date. Sneaking out during midterms to go on a date..."

Pu Sangzhi glanced sideways at him, her eyes slightly squinting, "And then?"

Huo Feng said, "You could learn a bit of their positive spirit."

Pu Sangzhi chuckled, "Huo Feng, snap out of it, okay?"

Huo Feng fanned his own face and said teasingly, "Ah, that hurts! So, how about we go watch a movie this afternoon?"

Pu Sangzhi gently reminded, "Please don’t live in a dream, okay?"

Huo Feng was speechless toward this kind of woman who couldn’t understand romance.

Forget it...

He just wasn’t destined to have a girlfriend who skipped classes for him.

He could only enjoy the bittersweet feeling of a girlfriend helping him with his studies.

Huo Feng silently accepted this fact.

...

A little while later, the takeout arrived.

Huo Feng ordered boiled fish, stir-fried pork with green peppers, sweet and sour ribs, and sautéed shredded potatoes among other dishes.

Four dishes plus a tomato and egg soup, arranged on a long table — the dishes were colorful and very appetizing.

Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi quickly started eating, and the atmosphere at the dining table was quite harmonious.

Huo Feng kept adding food to Pu Sangzhi’s bowl until it was piled up high, making it impossible for her to keep up with eating.

"Sangzhi, does it taste good?" Huo Feng asked.

Pu Sangzhi nodded.

Huo Feng chuckled, "Sangzhi, you keep eating my food, have you thought about giving me something in return?"

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, "Sure, I’ll add two more hours to today’s tutoring."

"Hey, don’t—calm down!"

Huo Feng was startled, his hair standing on end as he widened his eyes, "I didn’t mean that at all, don’t misunderstand me."

Pu Sangzhi said, "If you’re talking about asking me for meal money, I don’t have a penny to give. Whether I was forced or I aggressively ate so many meals with you, I never thought about paying you back. My tutoring should cover it, and if you can’t accept that, don’t invite me to eat or spend money on me in the future."

Pu Sangzhi was such a straightforward girl, boldly claiming she had no money...

Huo Feng liked this frankness.

"I’m not asking you for meal money. What I mean is... we’ve known each other for so long, and I’ve been chasing you for so long, shouldn’t you give me a little feedback, like maybe arrange a date? Stroll through a park? Watch a movie? Visit an amusement park..."

"Stop."

Pu Sangzhi didn’t let Huo Feng finish his sentence and promptly expressed her stance, "If you want emotional feedback, I don’t mind acting like Concubine Dowager once more and giving you a few more acupuncture treatments."

Huo Feng sighed deeply, "Ah... let’s pretend I didn’t say anything. Please preserve some innocence in my heart and don’t let it face the harsh reality."

Pu Sangzhi was amused by his words.

Huo Feng added another chopstick full of boiled fish for her, risking his life to broach the subject again, "Sangzhi, how about this? Tomorrow at 5:30 PM, I’m going to Tangxia No.1 Middle School to pick up Lin Qianqian with my buddies. Why don’t you join us? We can stroll down Tangxia Street afterward, and then I’ll take you both home. How about it?"

Pu Sangzhi declined, "I’m tutoring till 5 PM tomorrow and then I have to go back to Longxiang. I’ve made plans with friends, I don’t have time for you guys."

Huo Feng was surprised, "Your friends? Dandan and that tomboy?"

Pu Sangzhi: "No, she’s my best friend from childhood."

A best friend from childhood...

Huo Feng thought to himself: That must be a deep friendship! Such an important character, I must meet her!

Seizing the opportunity, Huo Feng suggested, "Sangzhi, I won’t pick up Lin Qianqian then. I’ll take you to Longxiang, and then I can meet your best friend with you."

Pu Sangzhi put down her chopsticks and gave him a sidelong glance, "Dream on."

"Tsk... how is that dreaming..."

Huo Feng argued, "When tutoring ends tomorrow, am I not supposed to take you home? If I go pick up Lin Qianqian after dropping you off, I’ll be late, so it’s perfect for me to stay with you."

Pu Sangzhi countered, "You don’t need to stay with me."

Huo Feng,"Seeing a best friend is the perfect time to show off a boyfriend. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to impress her. I’ll make her envy you to death! Jealous to death! Hate you for having such a great boyfriend!"

Pu Sangzhi knew Huo Feng had such ulterior motives!

So, no way she was letting him tag along!

"Sorry, but my best friend and I don’t have a ’plastic’ friendship. She won’t be envious, jealous, or resentful of me; plus, she has her own dream guy..."

Pu Sangzhi promptly added, "Her dream guy is the top student and most handsome guy at Ruizhong, attractive, skilled, with a great personality, and is 1.82 meters tall. You can’t compete..."

You... can’t... compete...!

These words, like four thunderbolts, struck Huo Feng’s world...

At that moment, Huo Feng felt a crushing blow from the ’other guy’s dream guy’!
