Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 271 - 265, Brothers come with you, I want them all! (2)

Pan Bo sat beside Ye Qingcao, watching her eat with such relish that, although he normally loved to eat, he found he had no appetite at all.

So, Pan Bo started to serve Ye Qingcao food, piling it on with vigor, trying to fill her up quickly. Then, he could get her to leave the table...

Because he felt that his appetite had been ruined by Ye Qingcao.

"Sis, fish, fish."

"Sis, sweet and sour pork."

"Here you go, a big bunch of shredded potatoes!"

"And another..."

"Hey, not this one!"

Ye Qingcao stopped Pan Bo’s chopsticks loaded with enoki mushrooms, insisting, "Enoki mushrooms get stuck in braces, no, no."

Pan Bo turned his hand and served the enoki mushrooms to Gu Yang next to him, "Eat up, Yangzi."

Gu Yang, with rice grains stuck at the corner of his mouth, stared at Pan Bo in disbelief, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

Without needing to communicate verbally, Pan Bo could read the message ’You’re giving me the stuff that someone else rejected from between their teeth?’ from Gu Yang’s expression...

To appease Gu Yang, Pan Bo pulled out a tissue, kindly wiped the rice grains from the corner of Gu Yang’s mouth, and laughed, "Eat slower, mind your image."

But even with Pan Bo’s comments, Gu Yang ungraciously returned the enoki mushrooms to Pan Bo’s bowl with a glare!

Pan Bo looked at the enoki mushrooms back in his bowl, and thinking that they were rejected by Ye Qingcao, he felt even less like eating...

At another place at the dining table, Zhu Dandan was sitting with Wen Miao on her left and Lin Yuhao on her right, but her gaze was mostly on Wang Chao.

From Zhu Dandan’s current angle, she had a perfect view of Wang Chao’s profile. His profile was indeed attractive, though the angular lines of his square face were quite pronounced.

To Zhu Dandan, who saw perfection in her lover’s eyes, Wang Chao’s square face was completely overlooked; she could see only his good skin, handsome profile, and appealing way of eating heartily.

Zhu Dandan’s emotions swelled quickly.

Therefore, having said Wang Chao was alright in the afternoon, she had almost decided on him by now...

At this moment, she even thought Wang Chao’s square face was adorably cute, exuding a strong masculine charm!

"Sigh..."

As she watched, Zhu Dandan couldn’t help but sigh unconsciously.

Following her sigh, half of the people at the table turned to look at her, including Wang Chao, with his cheeks bulging with food.

For a split second, Zhu Dandan’s gaze met Wang Chao’s, and in that instant, she quickly averted her eyes and busied herself picking up food to hide her unease.

"Are you feeling down?"

Out of classmate camaraderie, Lin Yuhao showed concern for Zhu Dandan.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Yuhao already had Shen Nuan, Zhu Dandan would surely have fallen for Lin Yuhao’s good looks and concern!

However, since Lin Yuhao was taken, Zhu Dandan, holding on to her principles, didn’t take his concern seriously.

All she replied was, "No, just sighing..."

As she said this, Zhu Dandan’s eyes once again stealthily glanced at Wang Chao.

Seeing Wang Chao had resumed eating his meat heartily, she felt somewhat unhappy.

Zhu Dandan thought: Even Lin Yuhao cared about her, yet Wang Chao showed no reaction? He didn’t even spare her a few more glances... Humph!

A young girl’s thoughts are always like this, always magnifying every move of the person she likes.

It’s just that Wang Chao was utterly clueless about her feelings.

And Wang Chao, he didn’t have those intentions...

Zhu Dandan’s seatmate, Wen Miao, couldn’t quite blend in with these ten guys, so Wen Miao felt very perplexed.

She couldn’t do like Ye Qingcao, who interacted seamlessly with them without any distractions, nor did she, like Zhu Dandan, take a fancy to someone at first glance.

Wen Miao was just perplexed...

The kind of perplexity without direction.

Sitting next to Wen Miao was Huo Feng, so during the meal, all Wen Miao could hear was Huo Feng’s frequent words of concern for Pu Sangzhi.

Sigh...

If only there were a second Huo Feng here.

Wen Miao had even forgotten how she came to like Huo Feng in the first place.

Now, she didn’t know how to start liking a guy. Or rather, she couldn’t take a fancy to any of these guys...

Or even more so, she didn’t have the courage to get to know and become close with these guys.

Just like during the afternoon class, Wen Miao didn’t know how she managed to teach.

She taught mathematics, and the whole classroom was quiet, with ten people barely speaking, not interacting with her, not asking questions, even whether they understood or not.

And Wen Miao admitted to herself that her teaching was quite dull, almost exclusively from her own perspective, without knowing if they understood or not.

So to say...

The day had been somewhat depressing for Wen Miao, without the feeling of having had fun.

...

After dinner, Huo Feng arranged for people to ride electric scooters to take the three girls home based on where they lived.

Zhu Dandan didn’t ride Wang Chao’s scooter home; instead, she was brought back by Gu Yang, who lived in the same neighborhood as her.

Wen Miao left the same way she arrived, escorted by Pan Bo.

Ye Qingcao’s home was in Rui’an, so Huo Feng had a brother hail a taxi to send her home and then return by taxi as well.

In the end, it was naturally Huo Feng who personally took Sangzhi home.

Tonight, when Huo Feng was taking Sangzhi home, Sangzhi specifically asked not to go home just yet, wanting instead to take a walk with him in the nearby Jinhe Park.

This was the first time Sangzhi had taken the initiative to suggest going to the park with him, which left Huo Feng overjoyed, and he naturally agreed right away!

The Jinhe Park near her home was where Sangzhi used to jog every morning and, incidentally, the place where Huo Feng had an accident while chasing after her.

Huo Feng rode his scooter to this small park with her and then parked it on the side of the road, locking it up.

"What now?"

Huo Feng asked Sangzhi, "Where do you want to go? How shall we stroll? Do you want something to eat?"

The park wasn’t big, surrounded by small stores with an abundance of delicious food.

However, Sangzhi hadn’t come here to eat; she casually picked a path and said, "We’ve just eaten, let’s walk. I have some things I want to discuss with you..."

"Alright," Huo Feng responded.

Soon, the two of them started wandering leisurely around the small park.

Walking around aimlessly wasn’t too satisfying, so, insisting on it, Huo Feng bought Sangzhi a milk tea to enjoy as they ambled along.

After a whole day of tutoring, Sangzhi harbored some concerns.

She was feeling a bit troubled and feared that thinking alone might lead her to overthink, so she wanted to talk things over with Huo Feng.

Sangzhi didn’t beat around the bush with Huo Feng and went straight to the point, "Huo Feng, can you... live without your brothers?"

Huo Feng was stunned by the question, sipping his milk tea as he looked at her, "Hmm?"

Sangzhi turned to him and said, "In fact, throughout today, I could see that they don’t really like studying. Even though they were very firm when they approached me, acting as if they really wanted to learn, they actually haven’t gotten into it at all until today. So I was thinking..."

"You think, they were forced to study because of me. They only did this to spend more time with me?"

Huo Feng understood her words and took over the conversation, completing the thought she was trying to convey.

Sometimes, Sangzhi felt that Huo Feng really understood her, and having him voice these thoughts spared her the embarrassment.

"Yeah..." Sangzhi nodded.

Just last weekend, when Huo Feng and his ten ’sons’ were out having fun, he too had sensed it.

This semester, he had indeed spent less time with them because he was chasing after Sangzhi.

Huo Feng admitted that he prioritized love over friendship, and he admitted it wholeheartedly.

There was nothing he could do about it...

Because that’s just who he was, someone who prioritizes love over friendship, who forgets his brothers at the sight of Sangzhi, that’s the extent of his drive.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

Therefore, Huo Feng posed the difficult question to Sangzhi, "I can’t keep playing with them until I’m old, can I? As their leader, shouldn’t I start being serious? And as your boyfriend, I can’t fail to get into Tsinghua, can I?"

Sangzhi was conflicted, "But seeing them like this always makes me feel as if I’ve monopolized you." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Huo Feng nodded, "That’s exactly what happened."

"Hey..."

Sangzhi tapped Huo Feng’s arm, "I never had such an intention, nor do I want to monopolize you. You better go back to your brothers, they need you, I do not."

"Tch..."

Huo Feng frowned, "See, you’ve hurt me by saying that again! When will you be as decisive as me? Can’t you just commit to one person and stay true to the end?"

Sangzhi was rendered speechless by his words.

Angered, Huo Feng took another sip of his milk tea, "You always pull back sometimes, having second thoughts, and that attitude doesn’t reassure me about you, you know?"

Sangzhi was even more speechless and could only silently sip her milk tea, not continuing the conversation.

After venting, Huo Feng suddenly switched his milk tea to the other hand and with his free hand, he took hold of Sangzhi’s.

Sangzhi didn’t pull away and silently let him lead her.

"Don’t say things like that in the future. Aside from falling out of love, no other reason is good enough to push me away, and they are certainly not a reason."

Huo Feng gripped her small hand tightly, "I know you like me. If I ever give up on you, who knows where you might hide to cry."

Sangzhi: "Would I?"

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Definitely! You’re human, not some emotionless object. You’ve already gotten used to me; you wouldn’t bear to actually lose me."

Sangzhi fell silent for a moment, inevitably curving her lips into a faint smile.

She thought: Maybe there’s a point. She really was a bit, unwilling to leave him...

Sangzhi then asked, "What about your brothers, though?"

Huo Feng: "What about them?"

Sangzhi said, "If, you really enter Tsinghua for my sake. You guys will have to separate in college. But since you’re preparing for Tsinghua, you also don’t have time to hang out with them. If they can’t get used to studying like this, do you think you might slowly lose them over time?"

Huo Feng: "No. I will get them used to it. I want both them and you."

Turning, Sangzhi met his bright, shiny eyes.

The street lamp by the park’s pathway gleamed brightly in his eyes, those eyes, clear and bright, very beautiful, and giving a sense of security...
