Chapter 441: Chapter 441

Huo Feng waited for Pu Sangzhi to say "I like you" for quite a long time...

Waiting tormented him so much inside that he almost couldn’t bear it, yet Pu Sangzhi didn’t continue!

So at the 31st second, Huo Feng furrowed his brow and roared, "Hey, just go on and say it already!"

Pu Sangzhi had planned to say those four words when she couldn’t meet his gaze, her mind slightly feverish.

But when Huo Feng looked up at her, those bright, large eyes immediately intimidated her, and she didn’t dare to speak those words!

"What are you stunned for? Hurry up and say it, be brave! I’ll sing ’Courage’ for you!"

Seeing her stay silent for so long, Huo Feng grew increasingly uneasy, "Hey, don’t tell me you’re too embarrassed to confess? We’re so familiar with each other, you can’t even say a few words? Come on, be brave, take a deep breath, and just close your eyes and say it!"

Urged by him, Pu Sangzhi’s face turned crimson, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "Hey, put it on quickly, we’re going to head down the mountain soon..."

Huo Feng clicked his tongue and saw that she really had shifted the topic, which made him so anxious his face could have turned green, "What’s the matter with you? Can’t even say a bit of sweet nothings? Such simple words, ’I, like, you,’ and you can’t even say them?"

At that moment, it was like the Emperor was not in a hurry but the eunuch was.

The atmosphere that had been filled with pink bubbles just before had been almost completely scattered by Huo Feng’s anxious demeanor.

Pu Sangzhi had completely abandoned the thought of saying those words!

She simply withdrew her hand and left him with a hasty remark, "I won’t talk any more, I’m leaving..."

After that, she bowed her head and scurried past Huo Feng with a red face.

"Hey, what’s with you!"

Huo Feng turned his head to look at her, and his gaze unintentionally swept over her flushed earlobes, and he instantly understood that she was shy!

She hadn’t even confessed yet, and she was already blushing!

At that moment, Huo Feng couldn’t help but let a smile spread across his lips, and he quickly stepped forward to catch up with her.

"Hey, do you have to be so innocent? Even a confession can make you blush?"

Huo Feng followed close by her side, stuffing the two newly bought red string bracelets into his pocket, "Sangzhi, I’m giving you some time to prepare. Whenever you’re ready just tell me, my ears are all yours!"

Pu Sangzhi’s heart raced, and she quickened her pace, not saying a word, avoiding the topic.

But Huo Feng stubbornly held onto the subject, shamelessly sticking close and constantly nagging in her ear.

"I know you’re a girl and you’re shy! No worries, I’ll give you time to prepare, but don’t take too long! I’m just short of your response! Once you reply, I’ll be at peace!"

"Speaking of which, I’ve confessed to you many times already, haven’t I? These words are so easy to say! Listen... I like you! I like you! I like Sangzhi!"

"Hey, with me leading the way, you’ve got a bit of courage now, right? Are you ready yet?"

Thus, under Huo Feng’s constant coaxing, the two of them hurried out of Linggu Temple and onto the road home.

"I think you just lack courage! Let me give you some courage!"

Huo Feng persisted in persuading her, even starting to sing to cheer her up, "Love really requires courage, to face rumors and slanders. As long as I get a nod from your eyes, my love is meaningful~"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t stand it any longer, turned around, and raised her finger to stop him, "Stop singing, it’s bad."

Huo Feng, in disbelief, widened his eyes, "Nobody has ever said my singing is bad! You really lack appreciation!"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Huo Feng."

Huo Feng grinned, baring his white teeth joyfully, "What’s up? Are you ready?"

Pu Sangzhi bit her lip hard, her face growing even more flushed as if reason and emotion were entangling within her.

Reason told her, seeing Huo Feng so smug right now, not to say such words lightly and let him have his way! Otherwise, his tail would wag to the sky in the future!

But emotion told her, seeing how much Huo Feng wanted to hear those words, it wouldn’t hurt to tell him, as they were almost of one heart now...

Pu Sangzhi was extremely conflicted, and her face showed her turmoil.

Huo Feng watched her intently, his bright eyes filled with hope, eagerly waiting for her to say what he longed to hear.

But in the end, Pu Sangzhi still didn’t say it.

She suddenly moved behind Huo Feng, opened the backpack he was carrying on his back, took out a sketchbook from the bag, and then walked up to him to hand it over.

Huo Feng’s attention was instantly drawn to the sketchbook. As he took it, he felt a slight surge of excitement, thinking she had written her confession on it.

But when he opened it... he only saw characters drawn with colored pencils and an accompanying sentence!

Even someone as oblivious as Huo Feng could tell that the person in the drawing was him! It was him playing basketball!

The drawing was so good...

The pose with the basketball was incredibly cool, almost as handsome as he was in person!

Beside the drawing there was also a sentence written in a delicate hand: "You are the most flamboyant youth in my eyes"...

Huo Feng couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth in a smile, raised his eyes, and looked at Pu Sangzhi in front of him, "I saw this sketchbook earlier... so it’s a gift, huh... for me?"

Pu Sangzhi, who was standing opposite him, nodded, "I spent a long time on it, you should take good care of it."

Huo Feng’s smile widened as he continued to flip through the book, exclaiming non-stop, "How did you draw this so well? I never knew you had this talent... Tsk, tsk, making me look so handsome must have taken a lot of effort! Thank you..."

When he got to the word "effort," Huo Feng even took one hand to gently pat her head, his eyes filled with adoration.

Seeing him like the gift so much, Pu Sangzhi also felt great happiness, her lips quietly lifting into a curve.

The second drawing portrayed Huo Feng street dancing, with the words: "You are the most shining youth in my eyes."

The third one depicted Huo Feng playing the guitar, accompanied by the words: "You are the most gentle youth in my eyes."

The fourth showed Huo Feng studying seriously, sweating profusely with furrowed brows, with the words: "You are the most persistent youth in my eyes."

The fifth captured Huo Feng on stage, leading a group in performing a Chinese-style song, with the words: "You are the most domineering youth in my eyes."

The sixth and seventh drawings were all moments when Huo Feng, in her memory, seemed the most charismatic.

Turning to the last page, which was the eighth one... it featured just a pencil sketch of Huo Feng alone, the paper occupied by only one face, with distinct features, angled lines, and slightly upturned phoenix eyes carrying his untamed spirit.

It was a portrait that resembled him by eight parts...

And this last drawing came with the words: "You are my youth, the most gentle breeze that has ever passed through my life. In this tender age, I met you, like a wilting mulberry facing the gentlest, most lingering breeze. I am willing to grow with you, hoping you will stay strong by my side."

Huo Feng was once again flustered by her love words!

She was clearly such a master of sweet nothings!

Every word she said sounded so nice to him, so nice that it made his heart melt!

After flipping through it, Huo Feng pressed his palm to his chest, releasing a long sigh, "It warms my heart so much..."

Huo Feng was very adept at expressing himself, including his likes and his emotions; he could say anything.

Pu Sangzhi, unlike him, was not so expressive. In fact, she was quite the opposite.

Hearing Huo Feng express himself didn’t phase Huo Feng, but Pu Sangzhi felt her face turn red first... Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Look at you, why are you so good at sweet talk?"

Huo Feng, feeling joyous, flipped through her drawings again, his gaze deep and lingering, "You can’t even say it out loud when you look at me, not even a simple ’like’. You can only write it..."

Pu Sangzhi pressed her lips tightly and stood quietly by his side, observing every trace of emotion on his face.

His emotions made her heart warm as well, and the joy inside Pu Sangzhi slowly surfaced.

She watched as Huo Feng flipped through the sketchbook for a second time, and as he sighed again, "Ah... it’s still so heartwarming."

Huo Feng closed the sketchbook and opened his arms towards her with a smile, "Come here for a hug, for I am your wind~"

He said it in such an ethereal way, yet it carried an earnest sense of security.

The phrase made Pu Sangzhi’s heart ’thump’ wildly in her chest until, finally, a burst of courage prompted her to take a step forward...

The next moment, Pu Sangzhi was embracing Huo Feng’s waist, her face pressed against his chest.

Huo Feng encircled her contentedly in his arms, leaning down to whisper in her ear, "The most beautiful love words I have ever heard in this life are ’Emperor knows Heaven’s Wind.’ I, Huo Feng, like Pu Sangzhi very much — very much..."

In his arms, Pu Sangzhi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Huo Feng, I like you too...
