Chapter 164: 158. Bought a gift for Huo Feng! (2)
At noon, Pu Sangzhi was so disturbed by the trouble Huo Feng had with Jin Binbin that she didn’t even eat.
By the time she had dealt with the matter and went to the student cafeteria with Huo Feng, there were only leftovers, with not much to choose from.
However, there was one upside to this time of day, which was that the cafeteria auntie was no longer stingy with shaky hands, and the portions were double what they were during peak hours.
Perhaps impressed by Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi’s good looks, the cafeteria auntie even gave them an extra serving of watermelon.
Huo Feng initially wanted to say that Pu Sangzhi didn’t like watermelon and decline the kindness. Unexpectedly, Pu Sangzhi cheerfully accepted it and kept thanking the cafeteria auntie.
The two of them ate at the same table, ordered three meat and two vegetarian dishes, along with a stack of watermelon, which was quite a feast.
The atmosphere between them was also quite good, as Huo Feng discussed his plan for extra tutoring with her over the weekend.
In passing, Huo Feng asked another question, "This weekend, that little green grass won’t be coming, right?"
Little green grass referred to Ye Qingcao.
The reason for giving her this nickname was that Huo Feng felt Ye Qingcao’s presence made him, Huo Feng, appear "green"...
The color "green" has unconsciously become a derogatory term in contemporary society. For example, green hats, green hovering over one’s head, green pastures, and green tea b*tches...
Thus, this nickname given to Ye Qingcao was purely to ridicule her.
That’s what Huo Feng believed.
Pu Sangzhi was unaware of the derogatory meaning behind Huo Feng’s random nicknaming; if she knew, she probably would have given Huo Feng a lecture.
When Pu Sangzhi heard him mention Ye Qingcao, she was slightly surprised, so she answered, "I don’t know. Why, do you hope she comes?"
Huo Feng ate a piece of watermelon. While chewing, he said vaguely, "Well, it’s complicated. I both want her to come and not to come."
Pu Sangzhi raised her eyebrows at him.
Huo Feng continued, "If she comes, then she can tutor Lin Qianqian. Then you’d only be mine, and you’d only have to tutor me. But that little green grass is too flirty; if she comes, you won’t be safe, so I still prefer her not to."
Upon hearing him call someone flirty, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, "Xiaocao is not flirty. She’s grown this big without having been in a relationship. Moreover, she’s quite faithful. She transferred back to Rui’an from Shanghai in her second year of junior high, met her idol, and has had a crush ever since, without making a move despite how much she likes him."
Huo Feng laughed and said, "Just because she hasn’t made a move doesn’t mean she’s not flirty. With her personality, if she ever caught her idol, I guarantee you she wouldn’t be satisfied even with seven rounds in one night!"
Suddenly, Pu Sangzhi choked on her food, unable to swallow!
She "coughed" and frantically patted her chest to ease the discomfort...
That’s when Huo Feng, seeing her as if she was choking, immediately put down his chopsticks and ran out of the cafeteria to buy a bottle of water from a nearby store.
By the time he returned, Pu Sangzhi had mostly calmed down.
Huo Feng opened the water and handed it to her, only to get glared at by Pu Sangzhi.
After taking a big gulp of water, Pu Sangzhi gradually recovered.
And after recovering, she couldn’t help but show her disgust towards Huo Feng, "You’re disgusting! Can you please not say things like that when I’m eating?"
Huo Feng smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, my coarseness has offended the ears of a Heavenly Immortal."
After coughing for a bit, Pu Sangzhi suddenly lost all her appetite and simply put down her chopsticks, saying, "I’m full. You eat it all."
Huo Feng saw that she had left more than half of her rice in the bowl and frowned, "It’s just a three-cent meal, and you can leave half of it, you little bird stomach?"
Pu Sangzhi: "It’s all your fault for talking dirty while eating."
Huo Feng waved his hand, "No way, eat a few more bites. At least five more, pick up your chopsticks." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Seeing him treating her like a child, Pu Sangzhi found it amusing and said, "I’m not eating anymore. I have no appetite for anything, and seeing you makes me even more nauseous. Hurry up and finish your food, I’m going back to the dorm for a nap..."
"When have you ever found me nauseating? You’re talking nonsense. All those barbecues, cakes, and pizzas before, I wonder which dog ate them so eagerly."
Huo Feng muttered as he picked up his chopsticks and, at the same time, grabbed her unfinished bowl of rice and dumped it into his own.
"Hey..."
Pu Sangzhi was startled by his actions, "What are you doing..."
"I’m eating your leftovers."
Huo Feng casually replied, shooting her a sideways glance, "Didn’t you see the slogan on the cafeteria wall, ’Every grain is hard-earned’? You expect me to finish your three-cent meal for you, does that honor the cafeteria auntie who gave you watermelon just now?"
Pu Sangzhi was bafflingly lectured by him, and moreover, it was a rebuke she couldn’t argue against.
When she saw Huo Feng casually help himself to her leftovers, Pu Sangzhi felt an indescribable oddness in her heart.
She thought: Doesn’t Huo Feng mind at all? Eating her leftover food was akin to eating her saliva, wasn’t it? They shouldn’t... be at that level of intimacy yet, should they?
However, Huo Feng enjoyed the meal immensely, eating with the same good looks and speed as always... It really made Pu Sangzhi stare in amazement.
After lunch, Huo Feng bought some small cakes for Pu Sangzhi from the snack bar as an afternoon treat because she had eaten so little for lunch, and he was concerned that she might get hungry in the afternoon.
Huo Feng then accompanied Pu Sangzhi back to the girls’ dormitory, talking nonstop along the way about all sorts of jumbled topics that became even more muddled.
So much so that in the end, all Pu Sangzhi remembered was him asking her, "When are you going to give me a gift? Have you thought about what to give me? Don’t take too long, or I’ll forget! It’ll be awkward when I have to remind you..."
Pu Sangzhi was especially speechless at this.
Because, his reminder was particularly appropriate, with no sense of embarrassment at all.
...
When she returned to dormitory 308, Pu Sangzhi saw that Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, and Dai Ya’an were already in bed with their mobile phones, probably going to sleep soon.
Taking advantage of Zhu Dandan’s preparation for a nap, Pu Sangzhi hastily borrowed her phone, logged into a shopping website with it, and began preparing Huo Feng’s gift.
She had already decided what would be an appropriate gift for Huo Feng, so within a few short minutes, Pu Sangzhi had selected the gift and added it to the shopping cart.
In the afternoon, she gave Zhu Dandan the cash and asked her to help place the order for the gift, which was expected to be directly shipped to the school next week.
After buying the gift, Pu Sangzhi felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart. She wouldn’t have awkward questions from Huo Feng to worry about anymore...
After finishing the afternoon classes, Friday’s liberation was upon them.
As usual, Huo Feng took Pu Sangzhi home, and on the way, he asked, "When are you going to give me my gift? Have you finally decided what to give me? How about we go shopping tomorrow, and you buy me whatever I like?"
Pu Sangzhi was rendered speechless by his questions, a dark expression crossing her face.
How could this person be so shameless?
Couldn’t he wait modestly for someone to give him a gift?
Always urging and urging...
And even suggesting that she buy whatever he fancied? Truly shameless!
Seeing that she wasn’t responding, Huo Feng pointed his finger at her and said, "Don’t pretend to be silent, okay? We’ve agreed that you’re giving me a gift, you can’t back out! I’ve already told my ten sons early on, just waiting to show off."
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath to calm down before finally speaking, "Huo Feng."
Huo Feng: "Yeah!"
Pu Sangzhi turned and glared at him, "Can’t you have a little shame? Always asking a girl for gifts, don’t you feel any embarrassment?"
Huo Feng countered, "I don’t want to keep asking you for gifts either, but you’re just too slow. I’ve been waiting so long that my shit’s about to dry up and turn into chocolate!"
Pu Sangzhi was disgusted, "Hey..."
Huo Feng pressed on, "When exactly will you give me my gift? Don’t tell me you still haven’t decided on what to give? Or are you planning to drag this out..."
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and told herself silently: Stay calm!
"I always keep my word; if I said I’ll give you a gift, then I will. Can you please just wait a few more days?" Pu Sangzhi said, stabilizing her emotions as she tried to soothe him.
"Oh, I know, all good things are worth waiting for, right?"
Huo Feng raised a finger, a broad smile spreading across his face, "So when exactly will you give it to me? Tomorrow? The day after? Or next week?"
Pu Sangzhi felt she was close to losing her composure. She nodded, faking a smile, "Ask me one more time, and I really might change my mind."
"Hey, don’t!"
Huo Feng waved his hands frantically, "Okay, I won’t ask anymore. Just tell me, when are you going to give me the gift? Just one question, just answer this one."
Pu Sangzhi dropped her displeased face and said irritably, "Next week!"
That made Huo Feng very happy!
"Great! I’ll be waiting to receive the gift next week!"
Huo Feng laughed out loud, his smile bright and youthful, brimming with vitality.
Pu Sangzhi watched his beaming face and spaced out momentarily; in that instant, all her frustration dissipated, and she suddenly thought... he was as endearing as a child.
