Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 150 - 144, be nicer to your son!

That evening, Huo Feng indeed buckled down and studied for two solid hours.

It wasn’t until he had memorized all the content Pu Sangzhi had taught him that Huo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and started to rest.

Huo Mingshan, too, turned up the volume of the television after Huo Feng finished studying...

Overall, at that moment, both father and son appeared to be in a state of liberation.

Seeing that Huo Feng had worked hard on his studying, Shen Yu peeled a plate of fruit for him and personally brought it over.

It must be said, the treatment one gets after diligent studies isn’t bad. Huo Feng felt he finally had some status in the household.

Otherwise, in the past, he was always the one cutting fruit and squeezing into salads, at the beck and call of the couple, his status akin to that of a dog...

"Mom, are you looking forward to my midterm exam results?"

At this time, Huo Feng, legs crossed, leaning against the couch, was eating his salad with great relish, looking quite pleased with himself.

Those familiar with Huo Feng knew he was someone who loved to boast.

Whenever Huo Feng was about to make a decision and had just begun to act, he’d brag to the whole world about the achievements he might reach in the future.

This behavior could be seen as prematurely showing off, or simply as boasting.

Shen Yu and Huo Mingshan knew Huo Feng well and, therefore, did not take his current air of confidence seriously.

Shen Yu even laughed, "Enough from you, you’ve only studied for two hours tonight since school started, and now you’re already bragging about your results. Besides, the midterms are already over, I hardly believe you could have blossomed."

Huo Feng pointed his fork at Shen Yu, "Look at that, looking down on me! All of you, claiming to be my parents, but in reality, you don’t treat me as well as my grandpa does. I just sent a WeChat message to grandpa, and he replied within minutes: ’Huo Feng, you’re already very smart, don’t push yourself too hard’."

Shen Yu and Huo Mingshan both laughed mercilessly, clearly mocking Huo Feng...

Huo Feng, his cheeks bulging with apple, glared at them, "What are you laughing at? Are you sure I’m your biological child? You two don’t have as much confidence in me as grandpa does!"

Shen Yu retorted, "Just two hours of studying and you’re already showing off to your grandpa, how childish is that?"

Huo Mingshan replied, "That’s your grandpa’s pampering, what your mom and I offer is tough love."

All in all, their reaction didn’t give Huo Feng the slightest sense of family warmth.

Huo Feng thought: He definitely wasn’t their own flesh and blood. That night his dad had found him in a garbage bin, there must have been a terrible snowstorm! It froze his dad’s brain!

"Forget it, I won’t argue with you two. One day I will slam my results on the table in front of you and you’ll regret it bitterly!"

Huo Feng spread his hands and boasted, "After I get into Tsinghua, I’ll be filial to grandpa first, and you two will have to line up behind him. Especially you, Old Huo, I’m giving you a heads-up now, in my world, you’re definitely going to be last! First Sangzhi, second grandpa, grandma, third mom, fourth Sangzhi’s mom, fifth my children, sixth Shen Nuan, seventh..."

Huo Mingshan, enraged, interjected, "You shut your mouth! Who wants to be seventh in your world!"

"Ah, you’re mistaken!"

Huo Feng cheekily said, "The seventh will be my ten sons, the eighth will be my dog, the ninth my cat, and you’ll only be tenth! Hahaha~"

Huo Mingshan was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode and he casually flung a slipper at Huo Feng!

Huo Feng dodged to the side with agility, neatly evading it!

"You little scoundrel! Ingrate! All these years, it turns out I’ve raised you for nothing!" Huo Mingshan bellowed in anger.

Seeing that Huo Mingshan seemed genuinely angry, Huo Feng dared not tease further and quickly picked up his salad and scurried into his room.

"Bang," the door to his room closed with a thud!

In the living room, Huo Mingshan was glaring with rage, his finger pointing straight at Huo Feng’s room as he said to Shen Yu, "Listen to what that utter ingrate is saying! He dares to put me after cats and dogs! Heaven has eyes—is that even human?!"

Seeing that Huo Mingshan was truly angry, Shen Yu, on the contrary, remained calm and unruffled, rebutting clearly and precisely, "I’m not siding with you. For every cause there is an effect, and with such a result, you should reflect on whether the reason lies with you."

Huo Mingshan, once again unsupported by Shen Yu, was in such pain it felt like his heart and liver were aching, "You’re still speaking up for that kid? He doesn’t respect me at all, it’s utterly unfilial!"

Shen Yu pointed out, "Didn’t you notice? Regarding the matter with Sangzhi, he blames you now. He’s your son and you don’t understand him at all. I can see that everything he’s done tonight, he was clearly trying to show you!"

Huo Mingshan: "..."

After Shen Yu’s reminder, Huo Mingshan fell silent for a while...

But after a few minutes of silence, Huo Mingshan stubbornly declared, "Hmph! No matter what he does, I won’t let him influence Sangzhi! There’s no way I’m backing down on this matter with Sangzhi!"

Shen Yu: "Then, as you wish."

...

On Friday, Pu Sangzhi’s schedule with Huo Feng was still tutoring.

To avoid having Huo Feng come over early in the morning to cook for her family, Pu Sangzhi woke up early to buy groceries at the market.

By the time Huo Feng rushed to her home at 7:30, Pu Sangzhi had almost finished preparing a table of dishes.

She wouldn’t even let Huo Feng enter the house, moving a small stool outside for him to sit and wait for her...

This kind of discriminatory treatment truly chilled Huo Feng’s heart.

Huo Feng blamed himself for arriving too late; if he had come earlier, his mother-in-law would have opened the door for him, definitely treating him like a guest!

Pu Sangzhi, this woman... still adhered to the principle that Huo Feng and dogs could not enter her home.

After finishing cooking, Pu Sangzhi packed her backpack and, before leaving, grabbed two bottles of milk and two bananas.

Upon leaving the house, she handed one to Huo Feng, "Here, for you."

Huo Feng joyfully accepted it and then asked, "This isn’t breakfast, is it? Just this little bit?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "It’s enough nutrition."

Huo Feng, looking at her somewhat pitifully, said, "No wonder you’re so thin, purely from hunger! Never mind, I brought you breakfast. Let’s eat it at the secret base~"

Afterwards, Pu Sangzhi mounted his little e-scooter for the third time and was taken by Huo Feng to his secret base.

After having breakfast, the two quickly immersed themselves in revision.

Pu Sangzhi checked Huo Feng’s recitation from the previous night and was surprised that he had almost got it all right with few mistakes.

What followed was the anticipated intense revision of the morning.

In the morning, under Pu Sangzhi’s arrangement, they reviewed two subjects.

Pu Sangzhi explained concepts, provided problems, administered tests, and required Huo Feng to be familiar with and master every point.

Only after he completely mastered them would Pu Sangzhi continue on; although this method took more time, the results of the revision were much better.

Oftentimes, students paid a lot of money for tutoring with no result.

That was because the concepts the teachers went over were not seriously absorbed by the students. Without taking them in, it was all in vain...

So, Pu Sangzhi did not mind spending time as long as Huo Feng understood.

He had to fully understand the problems, so that the next time he encountered the same type of question, he could solve it on his own.

Under Pu Sangzhi’s unhurried and rigorous teaching, Huo Feng certainly felt like he had learned a lot.

However, because he learned so much, sometimes he felt as though his brain was about to explode...

All morning long, when Huo Feng’s brain was on the verge of overload, Pu Sangzhi would timely stop the lesson.

It was as if she had saved Huo Feng’s life...

Huo Feng was grateful to her.

That afternoon, Huo Feng didn’t order takeout but prepared to take her to his grandfather’s house for a meal, as he had promised the night before...

Therefore, at 11 o’clock, Huo Feng rode his e-scooter with Pu Sangzhi to Tangxia Vegetable Market first, bought some ready-made dishes and watermelon, then hurried back to Shen Jianhua’s home.

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t quite understand why he had to bring something when going to his grandfather’s for a meal.

On the way back, she asked him about this doubt.

Huo Feng replied, "I just don’t like showing up empty-handed. No matter whose house I’m visiting, bringing something shows you’re a proper guest. Showing up empty-handed is so impolite, how could anyone like that?"

After he answered, Pu Sangzhi reflected and felt that he did have a point.

Every time Huo Feng went to her house, or to Lin Qianqian’s house, he would always bring something.

Because of this, both her mother and Lin Qianqian’s mom had a good impression of Huo Feng and felt that he was a very polite kid.

Pu Sangzhi gradually understood that there was reason for Huo Feng to be likable.

Because he was measured in his actions, knew his own mind, and had his own way of dealing with people and things.

In this regard, he was quite mature, not like an average student.
