Chapter 471: Chapter 471

The day after being refused money, Huo Feng arrived at Huo Mingshan’s room door...

Just like last Saturday, he sneakily eavesdropped on the couple’s conversation.

Unsurprisingly, he heard Huo Mingshan complain about him early in the morning, "That little rascal Huo Feng, he gave me a bottle of perfume and even came over to ask for money yesterday! How disgusting is that? Can you believe this guy? He’s totally shameless! Doesn’t resemble my son at all! He really pissed me off yesterday, if it weren’t for the fact that my paper wasn’t done, I would have given him a beating!"

Outside the door, Huo Feng: "..."

After a week, he had tried hard to please...

Yet, the result was still the same as last week...

Huo Feng, who lost 3000 yuan, eventually had to painfully accept the fact that he paid the money but didn’t earn a smile.

Fortunately, time heals all wounds, and exams speed up the pace.

As the end-of-term exams drew nearer, Huo Feng had to dedicate himself fully to studying and temporarily put these dark and sad things behind him.

In the last two weeks, Pu Sangzhi increased Huo Feng’s study tasks.

To get into the top 30 of his class, Huo Feng studied with all his might, entering a mode of intense studying again!

Fortunately, his scores in the sciences were good, and he needed to focus mainly on the humanities.

In humanities, Huo Feng focused on memorization, and thus during this period, he started memorizing texts nonstop, all day and night...

He memorized until his brain was filled with words, a jumble of knowledge points! Mixed to the extent that Huo Feng himself didn’t know what he had memorized...

During the period of preparing for the end-of-term exams, Pu Sangzhi received some good news—Lin Qianqian was accepted into Longxiang.

In Rui’an City, among the regular high schools, Longxiang isn’t among the top schools.

Lin Qianqian’s middle school exam results were barely above the regular high school line, just surpassing the minimum entrance score for Longxiang School, so her family still had to shell out some money to smooth things over.

However, being locals and having connections, they could afford to spend tens of thousands. Thinking about Lin Qianqian getting into Longxiang made the parents happy, so the loss of this amount of money didn’t bother them at all.

To thank Pu Sangzhi for her effort and dedication to Lin Qianqian over the past two semesters, Lin Qianqian’s mother gave Pu Sangzhi a big red envelope and wanted to treat Pu Sangzhi’s parents to a meal out.

However, since Pu Sangzhi hadn’t yet started her holiday and was busy studying and tutoring Huo Feng, the meal was temporarily postponed. They planned to hold a big celebration at a hotel after Lin Qianqian’s holiday started, inviting relatives and friends along with Pu Sangzhi and her mother for a lavish meal!

Besides, these two weeks, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng’s lives continued as normal, working hard for their end-of-term exams.

Finally, after a period of diligent studying, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng faced their first-year high school end-of-term exams!

During the two days of the exams, like always during a major test, Huo Feng frantically memorized textbooks and learned facts!

He went to sleep at one in the morning and got up at six, using the time before the exams started to sit in a pavilion at school in his oversized uniform, madly memorizing from a book!

The morning air was especially fresh, and his mind was particularly clear, which was a great benefit of getting up early.

Although Huo Feng was often whimsical and sometimes lazy, he was very serious when he needed to be.

In high school, especially only being in the first year...

Very few people could take their studies as seriously as he did.

And the reason he was so earnest and diligent about his studies was always the same, it was Pu Sangzhi.

After seven o’clock, students began to appear steadily on the various paths of the school, gradually bringing noise to the quiet campus.

Almost all the students who passed by him gave Huo Feng a few extra glances, each showing an expression of surprise.

Because Huo Feng was known at Longxiang as a troublemaker, and almost all the students either knew or had heard of him, seeing him studying so hard left each student dumbstruck, and they whispered among themselves.

However, all the whispers were positive.

The label of a bad student for Huo Feng would gradually be removed, thanks to his own efforts...

Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, and Wen Miao left the girls’ dormitory headed to the cafeteria and passed by the pavilion.

They too saw Huo Feng, who was furiously memorizing from his book. He was leaning one leg on the bench and the other on the ground, one hand holding the book, sitting casually, his eyes serious, and his lips slightly moving, as if reciting the content he was memorizing.

"Wow, Feng is really going all out now..." remarked Zhu Dandan from the side.

"Yeah, all for Tsinghua, huh? He’s putting in too much effort..." Wen Miao also looked surprised.

"Let’s go say hi to him!" Zhu Dandan said excitedly, taking a step forward.

But she had only taken one step when Pu Sangzhi grabbed her wrist, "Don’t go, don’t disturb him."

Zhu Dandan turned to stare at Pu Sangzhi, silently puffing up her cheeks.

Pu Sangzhi poked her cheek and said with a suppressed smile, "Right now, every second is precious to him. Let’s not bother him and go have breakfast instead."

Zhu Dandan pouted and nodded, "Oh..."

Thereafter, Pu Sangzhi led Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao quietly towards the cafeteria, without disturbing Huo Feng.

She knew what kind of person Huo Feng was.

Cramming at the last minute was his strong suit. If he didn’t study until the last moment, he’d regret it after the exam.

So let him fight on...

Pu Sangzhi liked seeing him strive.

That day, the ten underlings of Huo Feng actually slept until 7:45, only 15 minutes before the exam was due to start. They got up one after another, frantically dressed, and rushed to the examination hall.

Of course, the ten underlings had also stayed up late memorizing their books the night before.

With Huo Feng leading them, the ten of them had become increasingly engaged in their studies.

It’s just that they didn’t have goals as high as Huo Feng’s, so, for the time being, they couldn’t push themselves as hard as Huo Feng did! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

As Huo Feng’s underlings, being able to achieve half of what Huo Feng did was enough for them.

The final exams lasted two days, and they got through them steadily.

During these two days, Huo Feng took last-minute cramming to an extreme!

It’s no exaggeration to say that his total sleep over these two days didn’t exceed ten hours!

Therefore, after the final exams were over, while all the other dormmates were busy packing up their bedding and luggage to go home, Huo Feng alone lay in the dorm, covered himself with a quilt, and slept deeply.

He had asked the dormitory supervisor downstairs, who wouldn’t leave for another two days, so staying in the dorm for one more night was not a problem for Huo Feng.

Over in the girls’ dormitory, Pu Sangzhi and her roommates had already packed their luggage.

Wen Miao’s father drove over to pick up Wen Miao and also gave Zhu Dandan a ride, which was convenient for Zhu Dandan.

The end of the final exams marked the complete end of their first year in high school.

When they see each other next semester, everyone will be second-year students, and there will be new first-year students entering the school, while they will become seniors to these newcomers.

Of course, that wasn’t important.

For them, the most important thing was... summer vacation had arrived!

Pu Sangzhi was the last person to leave the dormitory. After everyone had left, she cleaned up all the garbage on the floor, emptied the trash can, and wiped her cupboard.

After tidying up the entire dormitory, she picked up her suitcase and slowly left the dormitory.

Huo Feng had sent her a message after his exam, saying he couldn’t accompany her home today as he was too sleepy and needed to go back to the dorm to catch up on sleep.

Pu Sangzhi knew that Huo Feng had had a tough couple of days with the exams, so she let it slide.

But instead of going home, she headed to the boys’ dormitory with her suitcase in tow, quietly.

Pu Sangzhi sent a message to Pan Bo, hoping he could help her get into the boys’ dormitory because she wanted to see Huo Feng.

Pan Bo was very surprised when he received the message!

Because Pan Bo never expected that a rule-abiding, good student like "sister-in-law" would even think about doing something so against the rules!

It seems that good students don’t necessarily follow the rules! When good students break the rules, they can really go all out!

Upon this, Pan Bo agreed cheerfully!

When Pu Sangzhi arrived, Pan Bo led four or five brothers downstairs. Three of them intentionally found reasons to distract the dormitory supervisor, while the other two went out to sneak Pu Sangzhi into the dormitory.

With seamless cooperation, Pu Sangzhi and her suitcase successfully entered the boys’ dormitory! And, she was directly escorted to Huo Feng’s room by Gu Yang!

This was her first time in a boys’ dormitory. Pu Sangzhi felt slightly nervous inside, her senses overwhelmed by the distinct male scent in the air, which sent her heart into a flurry of disordered beats.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Feng is over there," said Gu Yang, pointing to Huo Feng’s bed.

Of course, Pu Sangzhi could tell without Gu Yang pointing it out.

The entire dormitory was empty, as everybody else had left. Only one bed still had bedding on it, which was bulging high, obviously with someone inside.

"Sister-in-law, I’ll leave now. Take your time with Brother Feng. Later, you should leave the dormitory with him. Don’t go out by yourself, and don’t let the dorm supervisor see you. Leave with Brother Feng; he’ll figure something out for you," Gu Yang advised before leaving.

Pu Sangzhi nodded in thanks. "Thank you."

"Don’t mention it, see you in a couple of days!"

With a wave, Gu Yang left, leaving Pu Sangzhi there.

Pu Sangzhi, carrying her suitcase, walked into the dormitory and faced the sorry sight of trash all over the floor, stinky socks, and boxers hanging on the bed...

She sighed deeply, rolled up her sleeves, and got to work!

So, while Huo Feng slept deeply, Pu Sangzhi cleaned and tidied the boys’ dormitory from top to bottom, leaving it spotlessly clean!

As a result, when Huo Feng woke up, he felt as if he was... living in a dream!
