Chapter 464: Chapter 464

Huo Feng thought that Yan Siyuan had called him to the restroom because he was angry about the teasing regarding Yan Siyuan’s relationship with Bai Xiaojie.

But unexpectedly, once the two arrived in the restroom, Yan Siyuan briskly unzipped and took a pee... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

With no urge to urinate himself, Huo Feng stood with his hands in his pockets beside Yan Siyuan and looked down, his eyebrows knitted and said, "Hey, seriously? Do you really need someone to accompany you to the toilet? How old are you?"

Under Huo Feng’s bewildered gaze, Yan Siyuan finished up, pulled up his pants, and finally opened his mouth to respond, "Do you have a problem with accompanying me to the toilet?"

Huo Feng clicked his tongue and scratched his head, "We’re all straight guys here, we don’t need to be that clingy, right?"

While asking, Huo Feng turned around as Yan Siyuan did, and casually slung an arm over his shoulder, "Hey, you dead Yan Ji, tell me the truth, are you gay? You don’t actually have a crush on me, do you?"

Yan Siyuan gave him a cold sideways glance, still filled with a murderous aura that didn’t resemble the tender gaze of a smitten one...

"The look is right, but the behavior is somewhat perplexing for me."

Huo Feng patted his chest, hooking his arm around Yan Siyuan’s neck as the two of them walked out together, "I thought you called me out to warn me not to talk nonsense. Hey, did you genuinely just want someone to accompany you to the restroom?"

As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the restroom at a leisurely pace and arrived at the sinks outside.

Yan Siyuan washed his hands, his head down, and then slowly began to speak, "I did want to warn you like that. But since you’re quick on the uptake, I didn’t need to say anything, you probably already got my message."

A few seconds later, Huo Feng couldn’t help but ask again, "Then, let me ask you one more thing, do you have any chance with the lady from today? You two seemed pretty flirty!"

Yan Siyuan squeezed some soap into his hands and followed the seven-step handwashing method, leisurely cleaning his hands while chatting with Huo Feng, "Let me put it this way, I’m not planning to date in high school."

"Damn, another Sangzhi?"

Huo Feng’s eyes widened in astonishment, baffled by the mindset of these top students, "You’re not one of those who think studies are the most important, right? What university do you plan to apply to? Peking University or Tsinghua? You’re not competing with me for a spot at Tsinghua, are you?"

Yan Siyuan’s lips curved slightly upwards in a light smile, "Neither Peking University nor Tsinghua are my aspiration. I just want to get into Zhejiang University and study in Hangzhou. I’m really interested in Hangzhou."

Huo Feng waved his hand, sighing with relief, "Then why wouldn’t you date in high school? Don’t tell me there’s a secret crush? Someone abroad? Waiting for them to return?"

Huo Feng started to let his imagination run wild.

You have to understand, someone like Yan Ji who is both excellent and lacks grand ambitions, only knows how to enjoy life and takes things as they come, should be dating like crazy during the wonderful years of high school!

If Huo Feng hadn’t taken a fancy to Pu Sangzhi, he might also have been dating like crazy in high school.

Huo Feng couldn’t comprehend the thoughts of those excellent female students, let alone those of the male ones!

But he was really curious... what went on in the minds of these geniuses, was it the same stuff that filled his own mind, Huo Feng’s?

Yan Siyuan, not wanting to be petty, answered Huo Feng’s direct question, "I’m waiting for someone. But I’m different from you. I’m just waiting for someone to chase after me."

Huo Feng was momentarily stunned, and it took a few seconds before he caught on, pointing a finger at Yan Siyuan, "Ah, you’re making fun of me! Are you looking down on me for chasing Sangzhi?"

Yan Siyuan paused, indicating, "I didn’t say that."

Huo Feng jabbed his finger at Yan Siyuan repeatedly, with a look of defiance, "Let me tell you, it’s not that no girl has pursued me, it’s just that my standards are high. I have my sights set on a goddess. Those offbeat options, like your lady friend or Sister Hetun, I don’t even give them a second look! Sangzhi is worth every effort I make to chase her! You don’t understand my convictions, so don’t even think about mocking me!"

Yan Siyuan sighed, "I’m not mocking."

Huo Feng arched an eyebrow, "Seeing that cunning smile on your face, I really want to punch you so hard you get a bruised nose and a swollen face just to vent!"

Yan Siyuan paused for a moment, then suddenly, the faint smile on his lips disappeared, and instead, his eyes turned earnest as he fixed Huo Feng with a serious look, "Crazy dog."

Huo Feng: "What is it?"

Yan Siyuan asked, "You like Pu Sangzhi so much, has she let you understand all there is about her?"

Huo Feng nodded without hesitation, "Of course! I know all about her family’s situation very well!"

Yan Siyuan then asked further, "She can play the piano, do you know that?"

"She plays the piano?"

Huo Feng looked perplexed, and after hesitating for a few seconds, maintained a firm front, "Of course, I know! I know everything about her! It’s just that she didn’t go into detail!"

As astute as Yan Siyuan was, he saw right through Huo Feng’s façade, so he bluntly exposed Huo Feng’s pretense, "It looks like she hasn’t told you. Forget it..."

With that, Yan Siyuan slapped a hand onto Huo Feng’s shoulder and started walking out of the restroom.

Huo Feng followed Yan Siyuan, incessantly babbling, "Hey, how do you know? Did she tell you? Why would she tell you and not tell me? When did she tell you? You guys haven’t added each other on WeChat, have you?"

Yan Siyuan wore a light smile and replied leisurely to Huo Feng, "I said that just to make a point to you. Everyone has things they don’t want to bring up, regardless of how close the relationship is, and that includes you and Pu Sangzhi."

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Are you teaching me a lesson?"

Getting schooled by Yan Siyuan?

Yan Siyuan chuckles lightly, "I just want to tell you that when it comes to the opposite sex, my approach is different from yours. You shouldn’t gratuitously speculate about the female classmates that show up around me, it could inconvenience me."

Huo Feng: "Oh... so does this have anything to do with Sangzhi being able to play the piano?"

Yan Siyuan: "Actually, it’s unrelated."

Huo Feng: "Then why tell me this?"

Yan Siyuan: "Just to irritate you."

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Vile Yan Ji! You think just because you know about this and I don’t, I would quarrel with Sangzhi? Let me tell you, that’s absolutely impossible!"

Huo Feng: "Considering your excessive attempts at sowing discord, later on, I’m still going to tease you about that demure lady sister!"

It looked like his trip to the bathroom had been a waste.

He had wanted to hint to Huo Feng that he was interested in someone in a corner.

By taking advantage of Huo Feng’s nosy nature, he had hoped to throw him a line or pass him a precise message.

But what a blockhead Huo Feng was!

He had completely missed the point of his words...

The topic had been completely sidetracked...

Yan Siyuan thought: He really shouldn’t have expected anything from an idiot! It was his mistake to place hope in Huo Feng...

Later, the atmosphere among the four of them as they read books in the library was quite pleasant all along.

The idle Huo Feng even superfluously snapped a photo of Yan Siyuan and Bai Xiaojie together and sent it to Bai Xiaojie.

Bai Xiaojie seemed very happy, but Yan Siyuan’s complexion wasn’t looking too good.

Because Yan Siyuan knew, it wouldn’t be long before Bai Xiaojie would post it on her Moments.

At that time, there would definitely be another wave of friends randomly guessing the relationship between Yan Siyuan and Bai Xiaojie.

Yan Siyuan thought: If Huo Feng kept this up a few more times, he might lose his ’abstinent god’ reputation and might even be rumored to be a ’Casanova’. By then, someone might feel attacked again.

However, these were things neither Huo Feng nor Pu Sangzhi knew about.

And Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi might never know.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Yan Siyuan said he had to go, and Pu Sangzhi also felt it was about time to pack up and leave.

Among the four of them, one group was heading to Ruizhong and the other to Longxiang. They had evening self-study sessions, so they were quite in a hurry.

Huo Feng had picked out a bunch of books for Pu Sangzhi to borrow, but since Huo Feng didn’t have a library card, in the end, it was Yan Siyuan who used his card to borrow a stack of books for Pu Sangzhi.

To thank Yan Siyuan, Huo Feng declared that he would treat him to milk next time they met.

Yan Siyuan declined: "Invite me to a meal."

Huo Feng grandly agreed, "Sure, let’s go to Hongqiao Road and have Changzhu Fen! I’ll add two extra servings of pork intestines for you!"

Regardless, Sangzhi was quite happy about the library trip that afternoon.

And thus, between them and Yan Siyuan, the bond of ’library friends’ was formed.

In the future, there would often be such library rendezvous!

Only, in the end, Ye Qingcao, who was immersed in the novel world and couldn’t extricate herself, didn’t notice when the four of them silently left...

It wasn’t until around 5:30, when Ye Qingcao realized they had gone far, that Yan Siyuan contacted her via his ’male disguise’ QQ, asking her: "Have you reached the school yet?"...

That finally pulled Ye Qingcao out of the sea of books!

By then, all she could do was run wildly, run, and keep running...

Leaving the library at 3:30, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi went to the Kaitai Mall and spent three thousand yuan on a bottle of Louis Vuitton perfume for Huo Mingshan...

Last time, at Huo Hai’s birthday party, Huo Feng had spent the entire red envelope in a flash!

The pained Huo Feng, on the bus ride back, was completely listless!

He leaned sluggishly, his head tilted, resting on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, sighing out loud, "I’ve become a pauper, what to do..."

Pu Sangzhi glanced sideways at him, reached out, and played with his lush black hair a few times, his lips pursing as he said, "As long as it can mend your relationship with your dad, the money is worth it."

Huo Feng asked, "Really?"

Pu Sangzhi blinked and replied softly, "Yeah."

Huo Feng sighed, "I hope so... after all, I’m now living at someone else’s mercy..."

Pu Sangzhi frowned, "Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? He’s still your dad, after all."

Huo Feng: "He’s my ancestor..."

It was hard to say what kind of reaction old Huo would have when he received this bottle of peace-offering perfume...

Huo Feng hoped, at the very least, that he would be met with a smile?
