Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 177 - 171. A day with Huo Feng (3)

Huo Feng spent the latter half of the night with her, and Pu Sangzhi slept surprisingly well.

She slept soundly until broad daylight, even skipping her usual 6:30 a.m. wake-up time, not waking up until 9:30 a.m.

When she awoke, Huo Feng was also sound asleep with his head down at the desk beside her.

Turning her head and seeing his figure hunched over the desk, Pu Sangzhi felt a twinge of heartache, yet also warmth.

She quietly sat up, shifting her bottom a few times, intending to get up and prepare breakfast first, but unexpectedly, her slight movements still woke Huo Feng up.

Upon waking, Huo Feng had a look of bewilderment on his face, his hair sticking up wildly, with a red imprint on one side of his face, presenting a drowsy appearance.

Despite looking less than refreshed, he still greeted her first thing with, "Hey, did you sleep well?"

Pu Sangzhi reached over to pat down his untamed hair and responded, "Pretty well, and you?"

Huo Feng gave a snicker, stretching a big yawn, "It was alright... though sleeping on a desk is quite uncomfortable, I was afraid you wouldn’t let me sleep on the bed."

Of course, Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t let him sleep on the bed.

However, she didn’t expect him to be quite so self-aware.

In such a situation, he only slept with his head on the desk, never taking the liberty to lie down on the bed.

Aside from the move where he stole a kiss from her, this behavior was rather gentlemanly. Given this thought, Pu Sangzhi decided to forgive him for sneaking a kiss last night.

She got out of bed to put on her shoes, and Huo Feng, in indolence, rested his chin in one hand as he sat at the desk watching her.

Suddenly he felt that the distance between them had closed...

After yesterday’s events, Huo Feng felt that his relationship with Pu Sangzhi should be taking some substantial step forwards. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

After all, she had told him all about her family’s situation.

She remembered him after not seeing him for just two days and even got upset...

He had said he’d stay in her room overnight, and she was easy to talk into it, easily letting him stay.

All these factors led Huo Feng to believe they should be progressing.

He had been abstaining for so long; next, he should be able to try having some "meat."

Such as a hug, a kiss, a touch, a cuddle...

Ha ha ha...

Thinking about this, Huo Feng couldn’t help laughing aloud.

Pu Sangzhi, having finished putting on her shoes and getting up, turned around to see him laughing with a lecherous face. She slapped his head, "Don’t let your thoughts wander!" even though she didn’t know exactly what he was thinking.

Huo Feng chuckled as he got up, following her.

Just as he had felt the rise of mischief, Huo Feng thought to try and put it into practice, to get her used to this change...

So, he took two steps forward and hugged Pu Sangzhi from behind!

This intrusive movement startled Pu Sangzhi, and without thinking, she looked down, lifted her foot, and stomped hard on his!

"Ah!"

Huo Feng cried out in pain.

This act of hugging from behind came to an abrupt halt...

Pu Sangzhi hurriedly ran a few steps forward, only turning to look at him after putting a few meters between them.

At that moment, Huo Feng held his foot and hopped around like a rooster, his comical display causing Pu Sangzhi to laugh; she even said, "Serves you right!"

Having said that, Pu Sangzhi turned and left the room.

Huo Feng, with a helpless expression and one eyebrow arching high, stood behind holding his foot.

He wondered: Where had it gone wrong? Wasn’t their relationship supposed to progress? And still so scornful!

...

After Pu Sangzhi left the room, she realized that Chen Huifen had already prepared breakfast.

Passing by Chen Huifen’s workroom on her way to the washroom, Pu Sangzhi popped her head in to greet, "Morning, mom."

At that moment, Chen Huifen was all smiles, responding, "Morning, you must have slept well, right?"

Pu Sangzhi’s face instantly flushed red, rushing to clarify, "No, you must be overthinking! Nothing happened!"

Chen Huifen laughed, "Mom isn’t thinking anything. I won’t meddle in your and Xiaofeng’s affairs."

Pu Sangzhi countered, "There’s nothing going on between him and me, he came to our house late last night, and I let him in out of pity. Also, the reason he was in my room was that he..."

Just as she was speaking, Huo Feng leisurely emerged from her room, coming to the doorway of this room.

Pu Sangzhi, at a loss for words, found Huo Feng timely chipping in, "Because I was worried Sangzhi might have nightmares, so I sat in the living room for a while, then sneaked back in when she was asleep. Auntie, don’t get the wrong idea."

Huo Feng’s justification was a good one, and Pu Sangzhi quickly took the lifeline he offered, "Yes, mom, that’s what happened."

However, no matter how they explained, Chen Huifen knew the truth well.

She knew that Huo Feng liked Pu Sangzhi, and that he cared about her very much.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have run over in the dead of night to find Sangzhi.

This kind of youthful impulse is very pure, motivated solely by emotion.

Chen Huifen wouldn’t stop the two of them from dating, so at this moment, her attitude was very casual, "Got it, you don’t need to explain to me. Go brush your teeth and wash your face, then come eat breakfast."

"Mom, you must be thinking something naughty again..."

Pu Sangzhi wanted to explain further, but Huo Feng had already wrapped his arm around her shoulder and was pushing her toward the bathroom.

Huo Feng didn’t just push her but also said to Chen Huifen, "Auntie, do you have a toothbrush for me?"

Chen Huifen replied, "There’s a disposable toothbrush in the cabinet, from a hotel. Just open it and use it."

Huo Feng, "Hey, thank you, Auntie. Next time I’ll bring a pack of disposable toothbrushes over, and keep them all here for me, okay?"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t listen any more, "Who allowed you to bring a pack of disposable toothbrushes? You’ve only had the chance to spend the night at my place these two times, and I won’t let you stay over in the future!"

Huo Feng "tsked" and again forcefully pushed her into the bathroom, "Go brush your teeth. You’re such a blabbermouth. I’m still waiting in line behind you!"

Suddenly being despised like this, Pu Sangzhi was speechless!

She slammed the bathroom door shut with one hand, angrily leaving the scheming boy Huo Feng outside.

Watching the tightly closed bathroom door, Huo Feng turned and smiled at Chen Huifen, "Auntie, Sangzhi can have quite the temper sometimes."

Chen Huifen laughed, "She only shows her temper to people she’s familiar with. That means she cares about you."

Huo Feng nodded, "Auntie, you really have a way with words. Every time I come to see Sangzhi, I always want to visit you and chat with you because it’s such a pleasant thing to do."

Chen Huifen laughed in response, "Auntie isn’t as amazing as you say. You’re the sweet-talker here."

Huo Feng, "Not at all. I’m always straightforward when I talk to you, Auntie. Don’t think of me as the slick type."

Chen Huifen, "Yes, yes. Auntie understands."

Pu Sangzhi in the bathroom could hear their entire conversation.

As she brushed her teeth, she silently cursed Huo Feng in her mind: Damn Huo Feng, always buttering up her mom! Such a low tactic!

...

After breakfast, Pu Sangzhi ordered a week’s worth of groceries from Meituan for Tangxia Vegetable Market.

Huo Feng, wearing an apron, was cooking in the kitchen. After Sangzhi finished placing the order, she went to help him.

Together, they bustled around the kitchen and with perfect harmony, whipped up a table with six dishes and a soup, balancing meat and vegetables, fish and pork, presenting a feast rich in color, aroma, and flavor.

Later, Huo Feng even ordered some personal safety tools and quick alarm devices on Taobao, which should arrive in a few days.

He told Pu Sangzhi to stock them at home as a precaution.

Then came lunch, a nap, and afternoon tutoring.

During the afternoon tutoring, Lin Qianqian looked at Huo Feng sitting on the side and felt a secret joy.

During the 15-minute break after class, Lin Qianqian, clutching her cheeks happily, stared at Huo Feng and asked, "Xiaofeng, why didn’t you come yesterday afternoon? Without you, the atmosphere for revision wasn’t right. Sister Sangzhi was in a bad mood all day yesterday, her face was so sullen."

At that moment, Sangzhi was sitting between them, and Qianqian’s comment was like selling her out.

Sangzhi quickly retorted, "I was not!"

Huo Feng laughed upon hearing this, "Ah, someone is being insincere again. She obviously missed me to death,

but she would never admit it. I’m just waiting for that someone to hold it in until she gets an internal injury and explodes all at once for me to see."

Sangzhi sneered mockingly, "In your dreams."

Watching them argue like this, Qianqian felt the usual atmosphere return, and she reveled in the comfort of their playful bickering, "Xiaofeng, you still haven’t told us why you didn’t come yesterday afternoon?"

Leaning back, Huo Feng’s back rested against the sofa, and he quipped, "It’s because of someone’s crazy gift."

Pu Sangzhi defiantly replied, "That gift was also for someone’s sake."

Huo Feng, "But I don’t like that gift. Someone didn’t really pay attention to what I like."

Sangzhi, "I didn’t know someone didn’t like it."

Huo Feng, "So it shows someone wasn’t attentive."

Sangzhi, "Why should I be attentive to someone in other aspects? I only want to be conscientious about someone’s studies."

Huo Feng, "I’m already serious about my studies. When I do get a reward, can’t someone give me something different as a gift?"

Lin Qianqian felt dizzy listening to their back-and-forth of ’someone’.

Totally lost, Qianqian couldn’t help but interrupt, "Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Who is ’someone’?"

Just then, Huo Feng added, "Anyway, that gift doesn’t count. I demand that someone gives me a new one."

Sangzhi replied, "No money."

Huo Feng clenched his teeth in anger and haughtily lifted his chin, "Hmph!"

Lin Qianqian thought internally: Really, I don’t get it...
