Chapter 501: Chapter 501

That night, Huo Feng could no longer stay. Because he had not returned home last night, he was soundly scolded by old Huo when he returned home this morning...

Therefore, after dropping the two of them off at home, Huo Feng directly rode off on his little electric scooter, hurrying back to his own place in a rush.

Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao, who were left behind, watched his receding figure with a gaze that lingered unwillingly.

Ye Qingcao asked, "Sangzhi, if Feng isn’t here tomorrow, do we have to get up early to buy groceries and cook ourselves?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Yeah."

Ye Qingcao couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, I really wish Feng could stay."

Pu Sangzhi tentatively nodded in agreement, but a second later, she reflexively shook her head, "No. It’s not appropriate for a boy to be living at a girl’s place all the time."

Despite saying that, Pu Sangzhi sometimes truly felt that when Huo Feng was by her side, a lot of things diminished...

Huo Feng was quite hardworking!

Around 11 o’clock at night, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao had already washed their hair and bathed, comfortably lying in bed.

The lights in the room were off, but both of them were still awake...

Pu Sangzhi had set an alarm for eight o’clock the next morning and told Ye Qingcao, "Xiaocao, we must get up at eight tomorrow, we can’t sleep in! Tomorrow there’s no Huo Feng to help."

Ye Qingcao nodded vigorously, "No problem! With the alarm set, we’ll definitely wake up!"

Pu Sangzhi said, "Good, sleep well, goodnight."

Having said that, Pu Sangzhi placed her phone on the desk beside her and hoisted the blanket over herself.

"Sangzhi, aren’t we going to talk?"

Ye Qingcao, unable to sleep, turned over and tugged at Pu Sangzhi’s clothes, "Let’s chat for a bit! Just for a little while before we sleep, I’m feeling quite awake right now."

Pu Sangzhi, who was already feeling drowsy, had closed her eyes but still responded to Ye Qingcao, "What do you want to talk about?"

Ye Qingcao grinned, "Sangzhi, my sales these past few days are about to break ten thousand. Suddenly, I feel like breaking forty thousand in sales is totally doable! I’ve decided to raise my goal, to break sixty thousand in sales this month! Do you think it’s possible?"

Pu Sangzhi hummed in agreement, "Of course it’s possible."

Ye Qingcao chuckled, "I think we’re pretty awesome! Look at that guy in the store, he’s simply helpless! So many days and still zero sales, I wonder what he’s up to!"

Pu Sangzhi smiled with pursed lips, "I’ve noticed."

Ye Qingcao, "What did you notice?"

Pu Sangzhi shared, "I saw how he serves customers. No, it should be said that he doesn’t approach customers, he only replies briefly when they ask him directly. Today, a customer couldn’t find the size they wanted, and he just said it wasn’t available, and then the customer left. If it were me, I would have recommended other styles, but he won’t, he’s especially rigid."

Ye Qingcao made a "tsk tsk" noise, "With that passive personality, no wonder his sales are zero. It’s a pity, he’s actually good-looking, and his appearance is wasted!"

Pu Sangzhi laughed as she listened, "All right, let’s go to sleep."

Ye Qingcao tugged on her nightgown, "We haven’t chatted much..."

Pu Sangzhi let out a soft sigh, "So what else do you want to talk about?"

After some thought, Ye Qingcao said, "Sangzhi, what do you think of Feng?"

Pu Sangzhi replied, "Hmm?"

Ye Qingcao curled her lips, "About Feng... he’s so good! Do you like him a lot now?"

Pu Sangzhi, upon hearing this, chuckled lightly and did not deny, "Hmm."

Ye Qingcao, hearing her admission, snickered, "Hehe, you and Feng are developing so well. I’m so envious~"

Pu Sangzhi remained silent with a smile.

Thereafter, Ye Qingcao kept on chattering beside her ear.

It was a mystery where she found so much to talk about, endlessly coming up with topics that never seemed to run out.

Latterly, Pu Sangzhi was talked to sleep by her.

Ye Qingcao, noticing that Pu Sangzhi had become silent in the middle of their conversation, then hugged Pu Sangzhi and slowly closed her eyes to sleep.

An exhausting day turned another page in their sleep.

The following day was their third day at work.

For someone who works three days and takes one day off, the third day of work is like a student’s Friday at school—the anticipation for the rest day is truly undeniable!

At eight o’clock in the morning, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao brushed their teeth and washed their faces methodically, preparing to go out and buy breakfast, and at the same time, get lunch ready for Chen Huifen.

Fortunately for them... as soon as they opened the door to go buy breakfast, they suddenly found Huo Feng sitting on the doorstep, waiting with a lonely backdrop.

Pu Sangzhi never saw him waiting at her doorstep for the first time.

But every time she saw Huo Feng waiting at her doorstep, Pu Sangzhi’s heart would always react differently, always touched involuntarily.

And so it was that day as well.

Upon opening the door and seeing Huo Feng, alone on the steps playing with his phone, Pu Sangzhi’s heart instantly turned as tender as the water of spring, even feeling a twinge of heartache.

Ye Qingcao was taken aback when she saw this scene for the first time, "Why are you here so early! Why didn’t you call me? It’s quite pitiful for you to sit here all alone!"

Ye Qingcao spoke her mind, directly expressing what she thought.

Hearing her voice, Huo Feng hurriedly put away his phone and stood up, "You’re finally awake. I’ve been here waiting for half an hour."

Pu Sangzhi, slightly moved, asked, "Why did you come so early? You could have called me. Then I’d have opened the door for you..."

"It’s nothing. How could I disturb a beauty’s rest!"

Huo Feng smiled naturally, "I just wanted to come over and cook for you, to ease some pressure. I was afraid you would oversleep, and then wake up late and rush around with no time to prepare."

Ye Qingcao, touched, her eyes shining like stars, exclaimed, "Brother Feng, how can you be so nice!"

Huo Feng waved his hand, "You don’t have to be moved, I didn’t mean for you to be moved. As long as Sangzhi is moved, that’s enough."

Pu Sangzhi forced a light smile, cleverly dodging the topic, "Let’s go then, we’ll buy groceries together. You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?"

Huo Feng said, "No need to go buy, I’ve already ordered on Meituan. It should be delivered soon. Let’s go inside first and get some fruit for me to eat."

As they talked, the three of them moved to enter the house.

Right at that moment, the Meituan delivery arrived with the fresh vegetables and stir-fried rice noodles, plus milk, that Huo Feng had ordered.

So there they were, breakfast and vegetables all delivered there.

"Let’s go! Have breakfast first. After you two eat, go back to sleep for a little while and I’ll cook. I’ll wake you up at 10:30 to go to work," Huo Feng arranged so considerately.

Every line was laden with caring warmth, leaving the two girls utterly moved!

"Brother Feng, how can you be so good..."

Ye Qingcao couldn’t help but sigh, "Now, I’m really starting to think you’re too good!"

Huo Feng retorted, "No need to be surprised, I also think I’m pretty great. How come a certain someone doesn’t have a single word of praise for me?"

Thus, Pu Sangzhi compliantly praised Huo Feng, "Yeah, you are good."

Huo Feng declared, "That’s so perfunctory!"

Pu Sangzhi smiled without saying a word.

Afterward, Huo Feng called Chen Huifen, and the four of them had breakfast together.

Later on, Chen Huifen went back to work and Ye Qingcao went back to sleep. Pu Sangzhi stayed in the kitchen with Huo Feng, busily preparing lunch and dinner for Chen Huifen.

Although Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao’s meals were usually taken care of in the restaurant, they still needed to prepare meals at home for Chen Huifen.

Even though Chen Huifen had never asked for such a thing, this had become something Pu Sangzhi would always do when she had a day off at home. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

As long as she was home, she would make sure Chen Huifen could enjoy two dishes with one soup or three dishes with a soup. Otherwise, Chen Huifen might just casually whip up some noodles for herself, or eat some leftovers, or simply snack on something else...

Therefore, Pu Sangzhi was determined to prepare these two meals for Chen Huifen.

In the kitchen, Huo Feng helped her out, and the atmosphere was great as they cooked together.

Seizing the moment, Huo Feng chatted with her, "Sangzhi, I am planning to bring my mom over to see you at your work today."

Pu Sangzhi refused, "Don’t do that!"

Huo Feng insisted, "I have to. I need to patronize your business, help increase your performance! Although I don’t have money, my mom does. I’ll have her buy several outfits for me!"

Pu Sangzhi said, "I don’t need your help, my performance is quite good. And don’t bring your mom over, I’m not ready."

Hearing this, Huo Feng laughed, "What preparation? Preparation to meet your mother-in-law?"
