Chapter 483: Chapter 483
Yan Siyuan’s arrival was so sudden!
He didn’t even make a phone call, or tell Huo Feng he was coming, he just walked straight into the changing room swinging his gym bag.
Huo Feng turned around to greet Yan Siyuan.
He instantly scanned Yan Siyuan, taking in his simple but pretentious light blue shirt and beige pants!
Dressed so fresh and clean, he was clearly here to steal Huo Feng’s title as the ’handsome role model’!
What a miscalculation, forgetting to sabotage Yan Ji and make him wear something uglier!
"I paid for the swimming ticket myself. Remember to transfer the money to me later."
With his gym bag on his back, Yan Siyuan walked toward Huo Feng, patting Huo Feng’s shoulder as he passed by.
"Hey, it’s only 20 yuan, paid already! And you’re still asking me for it!" Huo Feng said disdainfully.
"It’s a matter of principle. You promised to treat me, that’s why I came. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have. So, you owe me." Yan Siyuan said so.
After saying that, he turned his head, his gaze casually falling on Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao nearby.
For a moment, Ye Qingcao’s gaze intersected with Yan Siyuan’s in midair.
Although it was just a second, indisputably, Yan Siyuan’s gaze sent a shocking tremor through Ye Qingcao’s heart!
Ye Qingcao stiffened, her gaze frozen, her mouth slightly open beneath her mask, as if she was in a daze...
Thankfully, she was wearing a mask and her hair was disheveled, revealing only her eyes, which prevented Yan Siyuan from seeing her infatuated expression!
Ye Qingcao knew that Yan Siyuan didn’t like girls who had crushes on him.
In a conversation once, Yan Siyuan had told her directly that he found such girls annoying!
Yan Siyuan only glanced at Ye Qingcao once, then shifted his gaze to Pu Sangzhi, nodding, "Long time no see."
Pu Sangzhi, having her own grievances but restrained by decorum, couldn’t show it.
At that moment, she could only politely nod, "Long time no see. What brings you here today?"
Yan Siyuan replied, "Crazy Dog said he’s treating us to swimming and a meal, I just got off and had nothing else to do, so I came."
Pu Sangzhi smiled politely, "You’re really free huh."
Yan Siyuan was about to nod, "I have no piano lessons this summer nor any plans, so yeah, quite free. If there’s anything like treating others in the future, feel free to invite me."
Huo Feng, in disgust, landed a punch on his shoulder, "Damn Yan Ji, do you only show up for a treat? Can’t you treat me once?"
Yan Siyuan said, "Next time there’s a concert, I’ll invite you along."
He didn’t want to attend a concert at all!
"Alright, I’m going to change clothes. I’ll look for you guys later."
Yan Siyuan reminded Huo Feng again, "Remember to transfer the money for the swimming ticket."
Having said that, Yan Siyuan walked into the male changing room with his gym bag.
It wasn’t until his figure completely disappeared from Huo Feng and others’ view that Ye Qingcao excitedly grabbed Pu Sangzhi’s arm, her eyes adoring, "Sangzhi, did you see how handsome he looked today!"
Huo Feng chimed in, "He’s okay I guess, looks like a model."
Then, Huo Feng received a death stare from Ye Qingcao...
Huo Feng couldn’t resist asking, "Hey, is Yan Ji’s family poor? Why does he love to take advantage of me so much?"
Ye Qingcao countered, "His family isn’t poor! His dad is a businessman, really rich!"
Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Then how come this rich kid always tries to swindle me, a poor government third-generation? He’s definitely the stingiest rich boy I’ve ever met!"
Ye Qingcao thought for a while, considering whether to tell Huo Feng that actually, Yan Siyuan described Huo Feng to her false male identity as: "That guy is just simple-minded, physically strong, with negative IQ and not so great EQ. Sometimes I don’t even bother to argue over stupid topics with him..."
All in all, in her chats with Yan Siyuan using her fake male identity, she hardly ever heard him say anything good about Brother Feng.
However, Ye Qingcao thought, Yan Siyuan was indeed quite a sarcastic person and seemed never to compliment anyone. So, it was pretty normal for Brother Feng to be belittled...
"Actually, the idol’s family has many younger brothers and sisters, and since he comes from a single-parent family, he’s like a father to them. He often saves money for his siblings." Ye Qingcao slightly explained for Yan Siyuan.
Just so Feng wouldn’t look down on Yan Siyuan that much.
"How do you even know this?"
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, his gaze scrutinizing Ye Qingcao, "Looks like you’ve collected quite a bit of information! Not bad!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Um... I’m heading off!"
To avoid too many questions from Brother Feng, Ye Qingcao quickly ended the conversation and hurriedly turned to make her escape.
Pu Sangzhi saw Ye Qingcao rushing off. Instead of following her, she stayed back with Huo Feng.
"Hey, why did you suddenly leave Xiaocao and stick with me?"
Seeing her not leaving, Huo Feng’s lips curved slyly, seizing the opportunity to tease, "Could it be... you have some secrets to tell me?"
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, "No! It’s just because Xiaocao said she wanted to keep a low profile, so I didn’t follow her."
Huo Feng chuckled, reaching out to touch Pu Sangzhi’s bare shoulder.
His palm’s slightly warm temperature transferred directly into Pu Sangzhi’s skin, causing her body to stiffen from the excessively intimate contact, sparking nervousness!
"Sangzhi, your skin is so smooth..."
Huo Feng relished their close contact, his rough palm lightly rubbing against her shoulder.
The action made Pu Sangzhi’s skin crawl instantaneously!
She hastily stepped back, took a deep breath, and warned him, "Hey, you can’t do this! Don’t touch me! It’s weird..."
Huo Feng stepped closer, raising an eyebrow, "You’re reacting too?"
Pu Sangzhi loudly retorted, "I’m definitely not!"
Pu Sangzhi quickly realized the conversation was heading in the wrong direction, her cheeks flushing as she said anxiously, "I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m heading in!"
With that, Pu Sangzhi turned and walked towards the pool area.
Behind her, Huo Feng smirked and followed, "Sangzhi, wait for me! We’re together, aren’t we? I’m not waiting for Yan Ji!"
So, when Yan Siyuan came out from the changing room, not a soul was outside.
Honestly, Yan Siyuan didn’t understand why Huo Feng had called him over today.
Huo Feng hadn’t even introduced him to that girl!
After arriving at the pool, Pu Sangzhi and the others like Zhu Dandan lazily lounged on the sun loungers.
Initially, Huo Feng stayed by Pu Sangzhi’s side, but after Yan Siyuan arrived, he stood near Huo Feng, warming up and challenging him, "Mad dog, wanna have a match?"
Huo Feng turned to look at Yan Siyuan, "You want to challenge me? Did you eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall last night?"
Yan Siyuan’s lips curled in a scornful smile, "You dare?"
Huo Feng, hands on hips, stepped forward, "Come on then, I’m not afraid!"
At that moment, several nearby girls overheard someone challenging Huo Feng.
Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, Shen Nuan, Pu Sangzhi, and Ye Qingcao, wearing sunglasses and a mask, all sat up and stared at the two.
"Though there are many people, the deep end still looks manageable."
Yan Siyuan continued warming up while looking toward the deep end, "Handling one or two obstacles shouldn’t be a problem. We could have a match in the deep end, bet on the outcome."
Huo Feng agreed promptly, "But it’s no fun just like that, let’s make a bet!"
Yan Siyuan said, "If you win, you don’t have to pay me for the swimming ticket."
Huo Feng nodded, "Alright, bring it on."
Yan Siyuan frowned slightly at him, "I’m not done. If you lose, you owe me a meal."
Huo Feng couldn’t help but shout, "You’re wicked! A 20 yuan swimming ticket worth a meal! Such an advantageous bet, and you have the nerve to propose it!"
Yan Siyuan laughed, "You can also treat me to Sha County. I don’t mind."
Only then did Huo Feng feel it was acceptable, "Alright, if you win I’ll treat you to Sha County. But, just to be clear, not more than 20 yuan!"
Even with a 20 yuan bet, Huo Feng felt it wasn’t thrilling enough.
So, after thinking, Huo Feng suddenly got an idea, clapping his hands, "Hey, boys! Everyone, come here!"
All ten brothers in the pool heard Huo Feng’s call and swam over, lining up neatly, wiping the water off their faces and looking up at Huo Feng.
"What’s up, Feng bro?" Pan Bo asked.
"Here, let me introduce you to my brother, Yan Siyuan!"
Huo Feng clapped a hand on Yan Siyuan’s shoulder, "A brilliant student from Ruizhong, the second man after me, Huo Feng, whose looks and intelligence coexist. He’s slightly less awesome in all aspects than me but definitely a talent!"
Huo Feng continued, "Enough talk! We’re about to have a match, anyone fancy a bet?"
Pan Bo raised his fist, "I bet on Feng bro!"
Gu Yang also said, "I bet on Feng bro too!"
Lin Yuhao: "Me too, Feng bro!"
As it went down the line, all ten sons bet on Feng bro...
How the heck are we supposed to play this!
