Chapter 492: Chapter 492

Chen Ruonan had been floundering in the pool for quite a while before she was finally helped up by the adults in the swimming pool, hauled onto the shore in a chaotic flurry...

"Ruonan, Ruonan, are you okay?"

Chen Chaonan, anxiously at her side, hurriedly handed her a towel to wipe her face.

But at that moment, Chen Ruonan could hardly care about herself, focused solely on her iPhone. After a swipe at her face, she continued to beseech nearby swimmers, "Can you guys help me find my phone? Please, help me look for it..."

In the pool, kind-hearted adults and children alike began searching for her phone.

At that moment, the scene was quite chaotic.

However, outside this chaotic scene, Yan Siyuan, holding the phone, silently left, his figure so inconspicuous that no one noticed him.

Chen Ruonan’s phone with Yan Siyuan reached the men’s changing room, where Yan Siyuan checked the screen and discovered the phone was still working—its water resistance was quite impressive!

Siyuan then entered the lock screen code "666666", drying his hair with a towel while casually sitting on a bench, browsing through some private apps on the phone.

Sure enough, Huo Feng had been up to some mischief.

In Chen Ruonan’s WeChat Moments and all other spaces, Huo Feng had posted some highly pretentious statuses like: "My dad is some big leader, I only mingle with children of officials or the wealthy..." and the like.

Though the actions were childish, they were unexpectedly satisfying to witness.

Latter, Yan Siyuan also found on Chen Ruonan’s personal Weibo that Huo Feng had posted similar statuses and tagged her dad, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education, the Tangxia Town Government Office, Tangxia Middle School... among other official accounts.

Though still childish, it was bound to cause quite a stir.

Yan Siyuan smiled slightly, amused. The most update n0vels are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

Then, Siyuan made that Weibo post hit the trending list and re-shared it from his account with critical comments, confident it would fan the flames of the brewing controversy and leave Chen Ruonan struggling to explain herself...

After finishing up, Yan Siyuan tossed her phone into the trash bin in the men’s changing room, his movements crisp and his conscience clear.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao had already hurriedly left the Tangxia Swimming Pool.

They hadn’t gone far when Huo Feng, visibly agitated, caught up to them...

Worried Pu Sangzhi would be angry with him, Huo Feng hadn’t even changed and was just wearing swim trunks and flip-flops from the swimming pool, presenting quite a bold image!

Barely catching up to Pu Sangzhi, the first thing a very nervous Huo Feng asked was, "Sangzhi, are you mad?"

Pu Sangzhi had been quite angry, but when she saw Huo Feng in his barely-there outfit, her anger was overtaken by embarrassment...

"Hey, why did you come out ? Go back and put on some clothes..." she said.

"Isn’t it because I was worried you were angry! You’re mad, aren’t you? Are you? You’re not going to give me the silent treatment, are you?" Huo Feng asked repeatedly, his tone and emotions both fraught.

Pu Sangzhi, who generally only got angry with other girls, didn’t intend to vent her anger on Huo Feng.

She also believed that after she left, Huo Feng could handle the situation well. Thus, she hadn’t considered taking her frustration out on him.

The reason she left in haste was purely because of Ye Qingcao...

"I’m not mad at you. Just go back and get dressed," she said.

Pu Sangzhi remarked, "I’m going to Rui’an with Xiaocao."

Hearing this, Huo Feng panicked even more, "You say you’re not mad at me! But you’re planning to go to Rui’an with Xiaocao! Isn’t that basically giving me the silent treatment!"

Huo Feng quickly walked around to the other side of Pu Sangzhi and asked Ye Qingcao anxiously, "Xiaocao, you’re not crying, are you? Ready to go home?"

At that moment, Ye Qingcao was covering one side of her cheek and shook her head at Huo Feng, "I’m not crying, but my bracket fell off..."

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "What?"

Ye Qingcao opened one hand, revealing two square-shaped small metal pieces lying in her palm, "Just now she slapped me and somehow knocked off two brackets from my braces, now the wires feel unstable. I need to go back to Rui’an to see my dentist to fix it..."

Ye Qingcao indeed felt wronged...

With her straightforward nature, she hadn’t held back from standing up for her friends, but this time it was particularly pitiful...

To think that a slap knocked off the brackets! Truly the height of misfortune!

The only consolation for Ye Qingcao now was that thankfully, her crush hadn’t seen the woman slap her, otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing!

So she needed to make a quick escape...

After all, there was no chance of facing her crush today.

"Oh, it’s just this little thing."

Huo Feng frowned slightly with disdain, "Can’t you just find a dentist in Tangxia to glue it back on?"

Ye Qingcao shook her head, declining, "I need to see my own dentist, I always go to him, he knows my situation."

Huo Feng was speechless at her reasoning, "Do you really have to take Sangzhi with you? Otherwise I could have Yan Ji drive you back!"

Ye Qingcao shook her head even more vigorously, "No no! Don’t let him know! It’s such an embarrassing thing!"

Ye Qingcao then clung to Pu Sangzhi’s arm, "I was standing up for Sangzhi when I got hit, so it’s only normal for Sangzhi to accompany me back home. I want Sangzhi with me..."

Huo Feng took a deep breath, "Xiaocao, you...

Pu Sangzhi, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and go home, I need to go with Xiaocao."

Huo Feng waved a hand, "Fine, then I’ll see you guys off to the car."

Pu Sangzhi: "No need!"

Huo Feng: "Of course, there is!"

Pu Sangzhi: "Really, no need!"

Huo Feng: "I said there is!"

Pu Sangzhi: "Don’t you feel embarrassed?"

Huo Feng: "Embarrassed?"

Huo Feng’s gaze swept around the area...

At that moment, the three of them were in front of a row of shops frequented by customers, mostly middle-aged women...

And at that moment, all the middle-aged women blatantly fixed their gazes on Huo Feng!

The wolf-like gazes of these matrons were devouring him...

Huo Feng suddenly felt his body tense up...

A sense of shame he had never felt before began to emerge!

Huo Feng: "I’m out of here!"

And so, he took off like the wind...
