Chapter 487: Chapter 487
Huo Feng won! By a hair’s breadth, he narrowly defeated Yan Siyuan!
Huo Feng wasn’t sure how much effort Yan Siyuan had put into this competition, but he had given it his all!
This speed was Huo Feng’s limit; to exceed it would probably require Pu Sangzhi standing on the other side shouting, "Huo Feng, if you win, I’ll give you my first time!"
Without such a tempting bet, Huo Feng probably wouldn’t push beyond his limits!
Though it was a close victory, it was still a victory! Worth boasting about for a lifetime!
After a short half-minute break, and regaining some strength, both Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan got up.
Around them, a circle of brothers, a group of girls, and a crowd of onlookers still had their attention on him.
Every eager spectator seemed to expect some follow-up spectacle... like some shameless event involving kisses!
Huo Feng cleared his throat, pursed his red lips, and approached Pu Sangzhi with a hint of shy coyness.
Suddenly, Pu Sangzhi’s presence also became the center of attention for everyone at the scene.
Just as Huo Feng was about to ask for a kiss from Pu Sangzhi, Pan Bo patted his shoulder and said, "Hey Feng bro, according to the procedure, shouldn’t you say a few words to the other competitor first?"
According to Huo Feng’s personality, he should indeed say a few words to Yan Siyuan first...
Feng bro loves to insult others after a victory!
"Alright, alright, let’s stick to the procedure."
Huo Feng casually waved his hand, turned around, and faced Yan Siyuan who was drying his hair, "Yan Ji, did you give it your all?"
Yan Siyuan paused in his movements, fell silent for a few seconds, then nodded lightly and responded: "Mhm."
He really had given it his all.
Yan Siyuan had to admit that Huo Feng won because of his true strength.
Admitting someone else was better wasn’t hard; even though Yan Siyuan was used to being the best, he always knew there was always someone better out there.
Just like Pu Sangzhi surpassing him by a few points to become the top scorer in the city on the middle school exam...
There was always someone out there who was better.
Seeing Yan Siyuan earnestly admitting he had tried his best, Huo Feng felt quite impressed and decided not to insult him.
"I also gave it my all. I almost tied with you!"
Huo Feng playfully punched Yan Siyuan’s chest, "You’re tough, I admit it!"
Yan Siyuan pursed his lips and nodded, not saying much more, "Mhm."
The girls nearby, thinking Yan Siyuan was devastated by the narrow loss, hurried to comfort him.
Shen Nuan was among the first to praise him, "Don’t worry, Yan handsome. You’re already very impressive! My nephew swims really well normally, and you were definitely no weaker than him just now!"
"Yeah, it was only a second’s difference; don’t lose heart! We do not regret betting on you one bit!", Zhu Dandan also chimed in with fists clenched for encouragement.
"Maybe if there’s another race, the result could be different." Even Wen Miao, who wasn’t good at comforting, said something supportive.
By this time, as the girls busied themselves comforting Yan Siyuan, Ye Qingcao, who had been shouting loudest a moment ago, put on her mask and withdrew to a corner.
However, despite retreating to a corner, Ye Qingcao’s attention was still closely on Yan Siyuan.
She fixated on Yan Siyuan’s expressionless face, wondering if he might be feeling very disappointed.
She really wanted to rush up and comfort him...
But with so many good-looking girls already offering him comfort and concern, Ye Qingcao didn’t dare approach.
Thankfully, thankfully... ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Shen Nuan and Zhu Dandan both had boyfriends, posing no threat to Ye Qingcao.
And Wen Miao, with her ’manly’ demeanor, wasn’t Yan Siyuan’s type, which set Ye Qingcao’s mind at ease.
So, as the three of them comforted Yan Siyuan, Ye Qingcao only felt envy, without a hint of jealousy.
Meanwhile, Huo Feng shamelessly brought his face close to Pu Sangzhi, eagerly waiting for her to plant a kiss on his lips!
"Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him!"
Around him, ten brothers were especially supportive.
At the critical moment, they applauded and cheered to boost morale, turning the atmosphere in the Swimming Pool so high-profile that once again, the crowd erupted with excitement.
"Sister-in-law! Go for it!"
"There’s no point in holding back now!"
"Kiss him, kiss him!"
The brothers egged on one after another, heating up the moment with their enthusiastic incitement.
Pu Sangzhi seemed to have been pushed onto a high platform, to the point where she couldn’t get off without moving forward.
Although she was often brought into the public eye by Huo Feng’s high-profile actions, and though such events had occurred many times, every time it happened, she still felt a flutter of panic, her cheeks burning warm...
She watched Huo Feng across from her with a smile on his lips, basking in the adulation of the crowd, feeling a mix of urgency and joy in her heart.
Those words were spoken by Huo Feng.
As he spoke, he leaned in close to her, deliberately lowering his stature so his six-foot frame was level with her head.
At a very close distance, he smiled gently, "I think I heard your voice just now. You promised you’d give me a trophy if I won, didn’t you?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips somewhat embarrassedly and slowly nodded her head.
"So what are you hesitating for? Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me!"
Around them, their brothers started to tease again, clapping and causing such a ruckus that the atmosphere heated up!
Several girls, along with Yan Siyuan, also shifted their attention to the two of them, each wearing a look of anticipation for the drama to unfold.
No, except for Chen Chaonan and Chen Ruonan...
Their expressions as they watched the scene were serious; their furrowed brows did not show the slightest bit of excitement for the drama.
On the contrary, they seemed to dislike seeing such a scene.
Chen Chaonan couldn’t stand it anymore.
To avoid the sight that was hard to bear, she turned and walked away, retreating to an unnoticed corner and began to flip through her phone in a fluster.
Only Chen Ruonan noticed Chen Chaonan’s mood and quickly followed her out of the crowd, joining her in the corner, no longer paying attention to the ridiculous spectacle.
Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi, feeling the pressure of the crowd, knew she couldn’t escape, closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and boldly went forward, covering Huo Feng’s lips with her own!
Why say it was the corner of the lips though!
Because Pu Sangzhi had only intended to casually kiss Huo Feng’s face and be done with it.
But it seemed Huo Feng had anticipated her intentions and took advantage of her approach to turn his face slightly, catching her lips with his own!
Thus, the kiss landed on the corner of the lips!
The crowd erupted, applause and cheers reaching a climax as they egged them on!
Taking advantage of the moment, Huo Feng wrapped his arm around Pu Sangzhi’s slender waist, pulling her body against his chest with such strength that she couldn’t break free, and forcefully tucked her into his embrace!
However, she quickly turned her head aside, hastily ending the kiss with him!
By then, Pu Sangzhi was blushing profusely, her face showing such shy charm that she couldn’t help but cover her face with her hands, completely unable to face the outsiders.
Huo Feng looked at her bashful and adorable appearance with adoration filling his eyes, feeling like his heart was going to be sweetly overwhelmed!
"Don’t be afraid, don’t be shy, I’m here for you."
Huo Feng took off the towel draped over his shoulders and placed it over Pu Sangzhi’s head, wrapping it around her little face.
Only then did Huo Feng address the surrounding brothers and onlookers, "Thanks everyone for joining in the fun and lending a hand! Thank you! Let’s call it a day, folks, time to go!"
After Huo Feng finished speaking, the surrounding brothers obediently dispersed. Especially Pan Bo took the lead, waving his hand, "Everyone! The next step is to get our red envelopes for winning! Girls, be proactive and send us boys a red envelope to snatch in the group chat!"
With Pan Bo calling out, everyone’s attention was once again diverted by him.
This showed that Pan Bo’s verbal skills were a true reflection of Huo Feng’s mentoring!
In the future, in a small company they would open together, Pan Bo would hold the position of business director and bring in a multitude of clients for Huo Feng!
After the swimming competition, the venue quickly cooled down.
Everyone started doing their own thing, breaking into separate groups and gathering together in twos and threes.
The boys went swimming again, for in the heat of summer, nothing was more comfortable than soaking in the cool waters of the pool.
Huo Feng stayed by Pu Sangzhi’s side, saying some shameless, unabashed things to her.
Later, Ye Qingcao came over looking for Huo Feng, saying, "Bro Feng, could you keep my idol company? He’s been brooding over there for a while now; I’m not sure if he’s in a bad mood."
Only then did Huo Feng notice that Yan Siyuan was indeed alone in the pool, arms stretched out on the ledge, motionless and deep in thought.
"Oh man, don’t tell me he can’t handle the loss in the competition?"
Guessed Huo Feng, "Alright, I’ll go have a chat with him. You keep Sangzhi company."
"Yes! Do talk to him, he rarely loses!" Ye Qingcao agreed with concern.
So Huo Feng got into the water and made his way next to Yan Siyuan...
He threw a wet towel onto Yan Siyuan’s head, "Hey Yan Ji, have you been crying?"
Yan Siyuan removed the towel and threw it aside with disdain, glancing at Huo Feng sideways, "What do you want?"
Yan Siyuan, pretending to be contemplative, wasn’t waiting for him!
This mad dog, always ruining his plans!
