Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 276 - 270, Huo Feng, You Are The Only One! (1)

For dinner, everyone was probably filled with both food and an overdose of romance, so each person had eaten until they were about to burst.

After dinner, Huo Feng organized everyone to clean up the dishes and pots, clear the kitchen waste, and after nearly half an hour of hard work, everyone finally dispersed and went to their respective homes.

The departure was the same scale as the previous night, with girls escorted by those who lived closer, while the others went on their own thrdsa.

Thus, the second day of winter break, which was also the second day of tutoring, came to an end.

Zhu Dandan was escorted home by Gu Yang tonight, and along the way, she obtained many "magic treasures" from Gu Yang on how to pursue Wang Chao.

It seemed she had made up her mind, and pursuing Wang Chao had become a must-win situation for her.

The straightforward Gu Yang naturally gave her many suggestions he knew. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Zhu Dandan absorbed them eagerly.

Meanwhile, Pan Bo and Wen Miao also chatted all the way home; although no romance developed between them, their friendship seemed to grow stronger.

Wen Miao discussed the effectiveness of the tutoring with Pan Bo, asking how she taught today and whether they understood or not.

Pan Bo said, "Well, I understood it."

Thus, this side too had a peaceful journey.

Tonight, perhaps only Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi lost their harmony.

Because Huo Feng harbored doubts, he kept probing her on the way home, asking whether she liked him, how much she liked him, and whether she liked him more than the dog Ye Xi?

All day, he had been comparing himself with Ye Xi, as if desperate to prove who was better.

Pu Sangzhi found his questions extremely annoying and felt very helpless towards him.

So, the more she was asked, the less she felt like responding.

For example, on the way back, Huo Feng kept asking, while Pu Sangzhi maintained her silence, too lazy to talk to him.

Tonight, instead of dropping her off at her narrow alley, Huo Feng drove to the nearby Jinhe Park on his own initiative.

Only when he deviated from the usual route did Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but speak up, "I don’t want to stroll in the park tonight, could you please take me home?"

Huo Feng insisted, "Come on, let’s chat for a while..."

Upon his insistence, Pu Sangzhi, feeling very helpless, accompanied him in a stroll through the park.

The chilly winter night with its harsh cold wind made strolling in the park less than romantic.

Pu Sangzhi wrapped her scarf tightly, buried her hands deep in her pockets clenched into fists, doing her best to expose as little skin as possible.

In this weather, it felt like any bit of skin left exposed to the air would freeze.

Huo Feng saw that she kept her hands in her pockets today, as if she didn’t want him to hold them.

This action silently sighed in his heart.

All was lost...

Huo Feng felt that once Ye Xi returned, the progress he had made with her would slowly start to regress.

At this rate, wouldn’t he lose her very soon?

Anxiety and tension took over Huo Feng’s heart.

Passing by an oden stand in the park, Huo Feng forcefully pulled her to buy two cups.

He picked fish balls, meatballs, tribute balls, and kelp for her, filling up her cup with broth.

In the cold winter, holding a cup of warm soup in one’s hands felt incredibly comforting.

Therefore, they both ate their oden as they slowly walked on the cobblestone path of Jinhe Park...

The winter wind remained cruel, but a cup of oden warmed their bodies through.

Huo Feng was still unable to let go of the topic of Ye Xi, and while eating, he asked, "Sangzhi, have you really let go of that dog Ye Xi?"

Pu Sangzhi, having accepted his treats, didn’t feel right ignoring him then.

Sometimes that’s just how pragmatic people are.

It’s easy to bow down for a bit of profit.

So, Pu Sangzhi eating the oden now, was somewhat more amicable than before.

She responded to him, "I let go a long time ago."

Even though she answered clearly, Huo Feng still felt uneasy. He continued to press, "Are you sure you are speaking sincerely? Have you truly let go completely? Do you now have only me, Huo Feng, in your heart?"

Pu Sangzhi bit into a ball, nodding as she felt the heat, "Hmm."

Huo Feng didn’t know whether she was sincerely responding to him or just reacting to being scalded, making a pig-like eating noise...

He frowned slightly, "Why don’t you ever talk about your past with me? You’ve seen how upset I’ve been all day, yet you don’t even try to explain a little."

Pu Sangzhi put down the ball, shooting him a sideways glance, "What’s there to explain? There’s nothing bad in my past."

Huo Feng: "You’ve had a crush on him for so many years! You won’t even share a little detail of that crush with me, nor let me know what happened between you two. Don’t you know men tend to overthink?"

Pu Sangzhi only knew, in a relationship, it’s usually the woman who tends to overthink...

Indeed, she was the opposite of Huo Feng.

Pu Sangzhi sighed lightly and shook her head, "Believe me, knowing too much will make you feel worse."

Huo Feng’s eyes widened in astonishment!

"What do you mean?"

He asked, "Did you two have some unspeakable incident in the past? What did that pervert do to you again!"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t listen anymore, "No, no!"

Huo Feng grew impatient, "Then speak up! Why won’t you say it, hurry up and tell me!"

Pu Sangzhi didn’t argue with him nor did she rush him. Seeing him becoming anxious, she simply stood her ground and gave him a defiant roll of her eyes.

Seeing her stop, Huo Feng stopped as well and said indifferently, "What’s with that look? Why are you glaring at me like that?"

Pu Sangzhi said, "Huo Feng..."

Huo Feng, "Hmm."

Pu Sangzhi, "You’ve gone overboard with your jealousy today, and it’s making me somewhat angry."

Huo Feng, "I’m angry too. I’m even angrier than you right now, and I’m waiting for you to coax me!"

Pu Sangzhi’s mouth twitched, she took a deep breath and calmed herself, "Can we not get jealous over nothing? Whatever happened between me and Brother Ye Xi, it’s all in the past."

Huo Feng sulkily pouted, "But you had a crush on him..."

Pu Sangzhi replied, "It was quite normal for me to have a crush on him. Back then, in our neighborhood, besides his sister Qingcao, all the girls who were the same age or two years older or younger than him liked him. He was both a top student and the most handsome boy at school, coupled with a good personality, he never lacked admirers. You shouldn’t be concerned about my feelings for him; you should find out what kind of person he is."

Huo Feng’s face stiffened, and after a long silence, he finally said, "So he’s better than me, right?"

Pu Sangzhi was shocked by his response.

Because she hadn’t expected that someone as bold and brash as Huo Feng could express such self-doubt.

Last night, here in this park, he was boasting confidently, acting as if the world was his to win.

But tonight, that confidence was gone.

He wasn’t just lacking confidence; he was also feeling insecure due to his inferiority complex.

Pu Sangzhi believed it was all because he was comparing himself to Ye Xi...

"Let’s not walk anymore."

Huo Feng had no mood to continue strolling in the park anymore. He turned around and headed back, saying coldly, "I’ll take you home."

Pu Sangzhi slowly followed him, looking at his angry and disappointed back, she felt a vague unease and even a bit of self-blame.

To appease him, Pu Sangzhi took the initiative to speak, "Huo Feng, you are The Only One."

Because of this sentence, Huo Feng stopped in his tracks.

But he didn’t turn around, just stood with his back to her.

Under the streetlight’s glow, his serious and earnest expression was obscured, only revealing his broad and cold silhouette...

"You don’t need to compare yourself with Brother Ye Xi, you two are completely different people."

Pu Sangzhi continued, "He and you have completely different personalities. Moreover, I’ve never felt you were lesser than him, and I would never compare you with him. You are you, the one and only Huo Feng in the world."

Upon hearing this, Huo Feng slowly turned around. His face didn’t show much happiness, but he wasn’t angry either.

His gaze fixed on Pu Sangzhi, "Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s go home after eating."

Rarely, he actually took the initiative to drop the topic.

Pu Sangzhi internally breathed a sigh of relief.

She took a few steps forward, and to make amends, she took a meatball from her cup and held it to his lips, "Here, eat this."

Huo Feng accepted her feeding, and after biting into a meatball, he asked, "Is this an attempt to please me?"

Pu Sangzhi’s lips curled slightly, "If you say it is, then it is."

Huo Feng also smiled, "You’ve never fed that dog Ye Xi, right?"

Pu Sangzhi, "I..."

Huo Feng, "Okay, okay, no comparison..."

The winter night was chillingly cold, but when one’s heart warmed, the whole world seemed warm.

...

That night, in a certain neighborhood in Rui’an City, Ye Qingcao returned home hastily, shivering from the cold.

Beneath her apartment building, at the entrance, a conspicuous figure was standing in the cold wind, seemingly waiting for someone.

From a distance, Ye Qingcao, delighted, called out loudly, "Brother!"
