Chapter 311: Just play ball outside and grow taller when the weather is sunny! (2)
Although it was the last day of the year, Huo Feng still wouldn’t miss a second of time spent with Pu Sangzhi.
So, after he got ready, he rode his little electric scooter and hurried to Pu Sangzhi’s house.
However, Huo Feng was quite surprised to find that today, Pu Sangzhi and her mother weren’t at home.
There was a note stuck at their front door, specifically written for Huo Feng...
The note read: We went out, Huo Feng, don’t wait.
"Oh no..."
Huo Feng stood at the door, looking at the note, and sighed deeply, "How can they just leave like that, without any warning."
As he spoke, Huo Feng took out his phone and took a photo of the note.
Then, he sent the photo to a chat group with his close pals, along with a crying emoji...
Huo Feng posted: [Girlfriend’s not at home, who will take me in now?]
After he sent it, the chat group lit up with a barrage of "hahaha" laughing emojis...
Pan Bo: [So pathetic!]
Pan Bo: [Seeing brother Feng looking this pitiful, guys... let’s leave Feng brother on his own today! (laughing out loud emoji)]
Gu Yang: [I fully support that with both hands and feet!]
Lin Yuhao: [Alright! No one take Feng brother in!]
Wang Chao: [Goodbye, Feng brother, you suit being alone!]
Zheng Sen: [Our spirits are with you!]
His pals sent Huo Feng some merciless words, which made Huo Feng, shivering in the cold wind, exclaim in frustration, "Oh man, the kids are rebelling!"
Then, Huo Feng posted in the group: [Stop messing around! Are we going out to do something or not? If not, I’m just going back home to lie in bed!]
Although his eleven buddies were very much displeased and disgusted by Huo Feng’s fair-weather friendship, when it came to playing, they were still quite willing to join Huo Feng.
So, even though Huo Feng had hurt them deeply, as soon as he turned around, several brothers still followed him.
Pan Bo took the lead in compromising: [What mischief? Let’s do something thrilling. I’m especially bored right now!]
Huo Feng replied: [With such good weather, let’s play basketball!]
Pan Bo sent a sad emoji, [Exercise on the last day of the New Year? Can’t you be kind to a fat man?]
Huo Feng: [No! The heavens haven’t been kind to me being short, let’s play basketball, jump high, my New Year’s goal is to exceed 1.8 meters!]
At that moment, the tallest of the eleven, Wang Chao suddenly chimed in: [Feng brother, you haven’t grown at all this year, have you? I measured myself a few days ago, I am 1.85 meters now... it’s really tough, I wish I could give you 2 centimeters.]
"Damn, this little rascal, showing off his height..."
Huo Feng couldn’t help but curse and then posted in the group chat, [Fatty, Yangzi, Haozi, and everybody else, come out! Let’s play basketball and jump high! So young, don’t you want to grow taller anymore! Do you think you’re super-boys?! They have gigantism!]
Wang Chao: [...]
Pan Bo helplessly stated: [Alright! I’ll come out and join you in growing taller! I’ll call a few girls...]
Lin Yuhao: [Can bring girls? Then I’ll bring Xiaonuan too, wait for it...]
Gu Yang also posted: [Always calling out girls, you never think about me with a face full of acne... remember to call a few more!]
Eventually, the tallest among the eleven, Wang Chao, also stated: [I’m coming too.]
Thus, at Huo Feng’s call, five out of the ten brothers came out.
They decided to meet at the basketball court near Huo Feng’s neighborhood; conveniently, they could go to Huo Feng’s place for a meal after playing.
...
About thirty minutes later, everyone had gathered.
Huo Feng, Pan Bo, Gu Yang, Lin Yuhao, Wang Chao, Zheng Sen, and the girls, Shen Nuan, Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao... and others.
Everyone was surprised that the girls Pan Bo had called were Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao.
They had just dispersed the previous day, and various reasons had brought them together again today.
If the previous gathering was for study, today’s call held a slightly different meaning.
Because, Huo Feng could vaguely observe that someone among the brothers wanted to break out of singleness! It was clear that someone wanted to develop a relationship with either Zhu Dandan or Wen Miao!
After the greetings, they wasted no more words and immediately started organizing the basketball game.
Huo Feng and the brothers started their basketball game, while the girls played badminton on the side.
In the modest open space, a wave of athletic energy rose.
With their running and jumping, even the winter chill seemed less severe.
To make the game more enjoyable, Huo Feng and his brothers placed a bet on the basketball game.
If Huo Feng’s team won, all the brothers who lost would shave their heads to a buzz cut.
Also, if Huo Feng’s team lost, then the brothers of Huo Feng’s team would have to get buzz cuts, and Huo Feng would have to treat everyone to a meal.
With the stakes added, all the brothers played exceptionally hard and with great seriousness, and they were also very afraid of losing.
Because once they lost, they would face the buzz cut crisis.
As they started playing seriously, the three girls on the side stopped playing and were completely captivated by the game.
The three of them each recorded a short video on their phones, posted it on social media, and expressed their thrill and happiness for the day.
Shortly after posting on social media, the three of them received a response from the same person.
That was Ye Qingcao...
Ye Qingcao replied to the three of them with the same message: "Ah! You guys made plans again without me and Sangzhi! Why didn’t you say something earlier? Sangzhi and I are so bored~"
After Ye Qingcao replied, the three realized that Sangzhi and Qingcao were together today.
So, Zhu Dandan sent a WeChat message to Ye Qingcao, asking her through voice message, "Xiaocao, Xiaocao, are you with Sangzhi? What are you guys doing? Want to come over and play?"
After sending the message, Zhu Dandan temporarily put away her phone, looked up to watch the basketball game, and asked Wen Miao, "How is the game going?"
Wen Miao touched his chin, "Looking at this momentum, Brother Feng is likely going to win."
"Ah..."
Zhu Dandan sighed deeply, "Isn’t that awful? My Wang Chao will have to shave his head?"
Wen Miao silently nodded, "I guess so. But it’s okay, Wang Chao has a square face, maybe a buzz cut will look better on him."
Zhu Dandan unhappily retorted, "Nonsense! He already has a square face, and after shaving a buzz cut, his entire head will be square-shaped. His attractiveness will surely tank! Oh my god..."
Wen Miao imagined the scene described by Zhu Dandan and couldn’t help but laugh.
On the other hand, Shen Nuan was quite Zen about it, "My Brother Hao definitely looks good with a buzz cut, geez, I’m actually kind of looking forward to seeing him with one~"
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao both cast disdainful looks at Shen Nuan.
Never mind...
Considering Lin Yuhao is indeed also handsome, Shen Nuan didn’t need to worry like the other two.
Just like Sangzhi asking Brother Feng to get a buzz cut, she surely never worried about Brother Feng’s looks!
"Ding-dong..."
A WeChat notification sounded, and Zhu Dandan picked up her phone to check. It was a message from Ye Qingcao.
Ye Qingcao replied to her: "Dandan, I’m with Sangzhi. Sangzhi is currently at my place..."
Below, Ye Qingcao sent a freshly taken photo, in which were Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi.
Upon seeing this photo, Zhu Dandan immediately nudged Wen Miao with her elbow, "Wen Miao, Wen Miao, look at this."
Wen Miao shifted his gaze, glanced at Zhu Dandan’s phone, "Sangzhi with Qingcao’s brother?"
Zhu Dandan nodded, "Right? Weird, huh?"
Wen Miao responded, "Not weird at all. Qingcao is Sangzhi’s best friend, and their families used to be neighbors. What’s so strange about that?"
Zhu Dandan frowned, "No way, I always feel that this isn’t quite right."
Wen Miao asked, "What’s not right about it?"
Zhu Dandan said, "Just not right! A woman’s intuition!"
Wen Miao sort of understood what Zhu Dandan wanted to say, but he thought she was overthinking.
"Ay, stop overthinking and just watch the game,"
Wen Miao patted Zhu Dandan’s shoulder, "Look, Brother Feng just scored another point."
Zhu Dandan watched as Wang Chao continued to lose more points, gradually losing interest in the game.
She simply walked to the side with her phone and started chatting with Ye Qingcao...
Ye Qingcao seemed quite bored as well, replying almost instantly to Zhu Dandan.
After a while, the two of them had a lot of back and forth chats.
Zhu Dandan found out that their two families were gathered together.
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi and her mother were at Rui’an, at Ye Qingcao’s place.
Since their families were very close, this year, Pu Sangzhi and her mother planned to spend the festival at Ye Qingcao’s home.
Meanwhile, Huo Feng, deeply engrossed in the basketball game, was still planning to pass the day playing and to spend the evening at Pu Sangzhi’s home, celebrating the festival with her...
