Chapter 318: In the future, I will spend every festival with you (9)

She asked Huo Feng, why can he be so persistent?

Actually, such a question wasn’t a question for Huo Feng at all...

Because Huo Feng cared.

Huo Feng cared about her, more than anything else.

For her, who was so important to him, he could give everything.

So, what seemed to be a troubling issue to her, could be answered by Huo Feng in just one sentence.

He said, "I just wanted to spend New Year’s Eve with you. It’s such an important day, and I’d feel unwilling to let it pass without you."

He uttered these words so lightly, even with a playful smile on his lips.

Yet, the words ’feel unwilling’ still heavily struck Pu Sangzhi’s heart.

Suddenly, she kind of understood...

She knew that Huo Feng was someone who highly valued the sense of ritual.

He cared a lot about every festival, every detail in life, every important matter.

Just like for her, New Year’s was no different from any other day.

But for him, it was a big deal worth all the fuss.

Pu Sangzhi might not be able to be as filled with a sense of ritual towards life as he was, but from that moment on, she told herself in her heart... From now on, she was willing to accompany him in all the rituals he cared about.

Because this New Year’s Eve truly told her, Huo Feng was a fool!

She had clearly left a note, and the note even read ’don’t wait’...

Yet, he could wait for her in the cold wind for so long, just to spend a New Year’s Eve together.

He was such a fool, such a dummy...

Yet he cared so much...

Pu Sangzhi was truly touched by him, and could no longer overlook his persistence toward her.

Perhaps, starting from today, she couldn’t casually ignore him anymore.

Because this fool, he treated her as his everything...

Pu Sangzhi gradually came to understand all of this...

After that, she made a serious and solemn promise to Huo Feng, "I’m sorry. From now on, I will spend each festival with you."

Huo Feng seemed to have heard the most touching love words in the world...

This was probably the only time he had ever heard Pu Sangzhi say love words since he had known her.

For a moment, Huo Feng was intoxicated, he tightly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Ah... what you said sounds so pleasant..."

Pu Sangzhi gave his shoulder a pat, "Why act like this, I’m being serious."

"I know..."

Huo Feng then opened his eyes, his dark pupils shiningly fixed on her, "I know you’re serious, and I am too. But what about this time that you didn’t spend New Year’s Eve with me?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "You say, how should I make it up to you?"

Huo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Am I sick? My throat feels a bit uncomfortable..."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "You have a fever, and you still have a low-grade fever now."

Huo Feng took the opportunity to say, "Then for the next few days, I will stay at your place. You’ll take care of me..."

If it had been before, Pu Sangzhi would have definitely thought he was being brazen and would have outright rejected him!

But now, she believed that even if Huo Feng made an excessive request, she wouldn’t refuse him anymore.

Because she truly felt guilty, truly blamed herself.

This was something Pu Sangzhi would probably remember for a lifetime.

She feared that even decades later, upon recalling this event, she would still feel remorseful, still feel guilty.

This was her shortcoming towards Huo Feng, the most conscience-stricken thing she had done in her life.

So, Pu Sangzhi nodded in agreement, "Okay. When you’re discharged later, you’ll go to my place, and I will take care of you."

Huo Feng had never seen Pu Sangzhi agree to his request so readily!

But at this moment, she almost didn’t hesitate! And her tone was resolute!

Her reaction made Huo Feng feel as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life!

Despite the calm appearance Huo Feng maintained, inside, his heart was beginning to surge, producing a storm of waves!

Huo Feng stretched out his hand from under the blankets, reaching out to Pu Sangzhi, and took a further risk by saying, "I want you to hold my hand."

Upon hearing his words, Pu Sangzhi immediately grasped his hand.

Huo Feng also clasped her small hand in return, holding her hand firmly in his palm.

The moment their hands came together, Huo Feng felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!

Oh my... he was going to burst with joy!

He really wanted to ask her for a kiss...

But then, Huo Feng remembered that just a few days ago, he told her he would only pursue her during their three years of high school, that he would never be with her, nor cross any boundaries.

Because he had personally made this gentlemen’s agreement, at this moment, Huo Feng had no choice but to grit his teeth and suppress the devilish thoughts inside him.

He pretended to be very noble, maintaining a purely friendly relationship with her.

In reality, his heart... truly yearned for her!

Pu Sangzhi’s gaze landed on his face, lingering intently as if trying to bore a hole through it.

She had never looked at him so directly before...

Huo Feng even felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze!

He said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look handsome?"

Pu Sangzhi’s lips curved up slightly, "Handsome."

Huo Feng, "Really handsome?"

Pu Sangzhi, "Your hairstyle, the more I look at it, the better it looks." And you, the more I see you, the more you grow on me...

Huo Feng’s brow arched high, "I also think your hairstyle looks better the more I look at it. Has your dad said anything about your new hairstyle?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "Yesterday I talked with my dad only about you. He said he knows you; he also knows you’re investigating him."

Damn...

Huo Feng’s cautious actions had been exposed? When had they been revealed?

Hopefully, her father didn’t think he was being disrespectful!

Huo Feng’s mouth twitched slightly, "So your dad, he didn’t speak ill of me, did he? What does he think of me?"

Pu Sangzhi thought for a moment, then said, "He didn’t comment on his impression of you. He just said he knows you."

Huo Feng frowned and clenched his teeth, "That’s not good, leaving a bad impression on the father-in-law. So, should I make an effort to chat with him later?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "You better not show any slickness in front of my dad, he doesn’t like old slickers; he prefers clean and pure boys."

Pu Sangzhi probably didn’t realize that at this moment, she was actually teaching Huo Feng how to please her father.

After she spoke those words, Pu Sangzhi realized what she had said.

Instantly, her heart also sunk silently...

"Am I not clean and pure?"

Huo Feng asked her, "Why do you think I look like an old slicker?"

Pu Sangzhi replied, "Anyway, when you’re in front of my dad later, just make sure not to be too talkative. He doesn’t like chatterboxes."

Huo Feng pouted, "Oh... I talk too much, huh?"

Seeing him like that, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but smile lightly.

Thankfully, he seemed to be in good spirits.

Thankfully, she hadn’t caused him too much harm.

He was still as energetic as ever, joking around, and Pu Sangzhi’s heart gradually settled down.

However, just moments after she calmed down, Huo Feng suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately asked her, "Where exactly did you go yesterday? Where could you and your mom go, just the two of you? Why did you have to be gone all day? And not come back until midnight?"

Huo Feng bombarded her with many questions, his tone a mix of urgency and accusation.

Pu Sangzhi wondered to herself, if she told him that she had been with Qingcao and Brother Ye Xi yesterday, would Huo Feng get mad?

She didn’t know if he still cared about Brother Ye Xi...

Would he get jealous of Brother Ye Xi again?

But Sangzhi, being such an honest person, wouldn’t lie to him.

So, after pondering for a while, she decided to answer truthfully, "Yesterday morning, Xiaocao, Brother Ye Xi, and his mom came to my house. His mom is very close to my mom, so she invited us to spend New Year’s at her place, and my mom agreed, so we went with them."

Upon saying this, and fearing Huo Feng might get angry, she quickly added, "I was worried you’d come to look for me so I left a note on the door telling you not to wait. Later, Xiaocao chatted with Dandan and she mentioned that you went out to play basketball in the morning, had a barbecue at noon, and went to the arcade in the afternoon. You had a full schedule. I thought you really wouldn’t come to look for me, that you really went off and had a blast... so in the end, it never crossed my mind that you might still go and wait for me."

Indeed, it was true.

In the past, there had been instances when Huo Feng didn’t look for her and went off to have a wild time.

But this time, Pu Sangzhi truly underestimated Huo Feng’s persistence for her.

He must have really wanted to spend New Year’s with her...

So, she admitted, this time she was wrong.

After listening to her entire explanation, Huo Feng thought her actions yesterday were fine.

She really had left him a note.

And she had even spied on his activities for the day...

Knowing that she was aware he had such a wild day out, Huo Feng felt a bit embarrassed!

Still...

Even though he knew her actions were blameless, why did Huo Feng still feel a bit angry?
