Chapter 521: Chapter 521

At long last, Han Lei and his mother let Pu Sangzhi be.

Once Huo Feng and his mother had retrieved Pu Sangzhi, they did so with a spirit of having regained something precious, joyfully whisking her away!

Pu Sangzhi’s group left first, followed by Han Lei and his party of three.

In front of the Metersbonwe Store, the two families walked away with their backs to each other...

During this time, Han Lei turned his head back, his gaze lingering on Pu Sangzhi’s retreating figure, his eyes displaying a somewhat infatuated look...

Xiuqin noticed Han Lei’s behavior, couldn’t help but smile, and teased him, "You’ve just parted and already you can’t bear it?"

Han Lei then turned his head back, his dark, deep eyes fixed on Xiuqin, "The guy just now, the one who drops her off and picks her up from work every day, might be her boyfriend."

"She got a boyfriend that quickly?"

Xiuqin couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, "A good student is in a relationship, too? And what’s the identity of that boy? What’s his surname and name? Could it be that he’s also a student at Longxiang?"

Han Lei didn’t know any of these details.

Instead, it was Xiuqin’s daughter, Han Feiyi, who explained everything, "The guy next to Pu Sangzhi is called Huo Feng, and he is also a student at Longxiang, in the same grade as her. Both families have respectable backgrounds; his grandfather is the secretary of Tangxia Town, and his other grandfather is also a village official. Both parents are teachers, a third-generation official family, with a scholarly family background. Adding to that, Huo Feng himself is outstanding, and he has been pursuing Pu Sangzhi for a year now..."

"You know so much about it!"

Xiuqin raised her eyebrow even higher, "No way, how do you know all this? Aren’t you a grade above them? Do you know both of them?"

"I know both of them."

Han Feiyi said, lifting her chin, "I might as well not hide it from you, I like Huo Feng. Huo Feng likes Pu Sangzhi, and now, great, my brother also likes Pu Sangzhi, just perfect for a love square, adding chaos to chaos."

Han Lei immediately denied, "I didn’t say I liked her."

Han Feiyi said unapologetically, "You look like you do. What’s there to hide from me? I and Pu Sangzhi are love rivals, not close at all, I wouldn’t tell her."

Standing between them, Xiuqin was stunned, "Such a messy relationship? Why would you, a girl, like him? You’re still too young, focus on your studies!"

"I’m just thinking, a guy as outstanding as Huo Feng, if I don’t act now, I might not meet someone like him later."

Han Feiyi said, "Overall, we still have a chance. Because Pu Sangzhi isn’t dating Huo Feng yet. I heard that Pu Sangzhi’s goal is to get into Tsinghua, and she wants Huo Feng to get into Tsinghua before she’d date him. So, if Huo Feng doesn’t get in, then he’ll be mine."

"You’re really not trying hard enough!"

Xiuqin slapped Han Feiyi’s arm, "To want someone only when others don’t? Let me tell you, you’re a girl, you must be cherished! Besides, you’re too young in high school, you should focus less on boys. Next semester you’ll be in your senior year, you should study hard, and getting into a top university is the right path!"

Han Feiyi grunted and said no more.

Then, Xiuqin turned to the other side, addressing Han Lei with different words, "Son, I really think Pu Sangzhi is exceptional. Such a good girl, if you don’t seize the opportunity now, you might not find someone as good later. That girl hasn’t even dated yet, if there’s a chance, you should still try hard! Forget about Tsinghua or whatever, first make a good relationship and let her have a good impression of you, and as for university... well, mom will help you figure something out later! Anyway, don’t easily let go of such a good girl!"

Listening on, Han Feiyi simply couldn’t stand it, "Mom, are you being biased? Telling me not to date in high school, yet pushing him to go for it! That’s really favoring one over the other!"

"What favoring one over the other!"

Xiuqin countered Han Feiyi, "The way to educate a girl and a boy is different. A girl needs to be reserved and protect herself. A boy is born to bring chaos to others, there’s a saying, ’A young man not frivolous is a young man wasted!’"

Xiuqin’s words made Han Feiyi’s features scrunch up and caused the nearby Han Lei to quietly smile.

The mother and her two children walked back harmoniously, chatting and laughing all the way...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Huo Feng and his group had already found a bubble tea shop on Tangxia Street for a late-night snack.

Having ordered a heap of snacks, the four of them sat facing each other, the atmosphere also very harmonious.

Shen Yu learned about the relationship between Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao only then learning that Ye Qingcao is a student at Ruizhong, and she grew fond of Qingcao.

However, Shen Yu was more interested in learning about Pu Sangzhi.

So, this late-night meal had significantly increased Pu Sangzhi’s pressure.

"Ever since Xiaofeng got to know you, his academic performance has truly been on the rise, and his grades this semester were incredibly good. When his dad saw his report card, he smiled proudly for the first time and even shared the report card with his grandfather. I, having raised Xiaofeng for so long, saw the father and son showing a satisfied smile towards Xiaofeng for the first time, and it’s all thanks to you, Sangzhi," Shen Yu said with a beaming smile.

Across the table, as Pu Sangzhi chewed on cauliflower, she was too embarrassed to speak and could only nod, symbolically saying a few words, "It’s all Huo Feng’s own diligence."

"That’s because you taught him well." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱

Shen Yu praised her, "There are so many teachers at school who taught him, and I also hired many tutors for him before, but none were as effective as you. With you around, I really do believe that Xiaofeng could get into Tsinghua. Haha, don’t think I’m just daydreaming..."

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, and replied politely, "It’s not that you’re daydreaming, it’s possible. Huo Feng indeed has the potential to get into Tsinghua, and I will definitely help him."

Across from her, Huo Feng was sipping a beer, his face full of joy as he watched Pu Sangzhi make what sounded like a promise to his mother.

Pu Sangzhi dare to make such promises to him in front of his mother...

It proved that Pu Sangzhi really had him in her heart, and wanted to go the distance with him, Huo Feng!

"Our Xiaofeng, in terms of personality, style, and temperament, isn’t easy to deal with. Despite that, you treat him so well, and for that, I am truly grateful," Shen Yu said.

While talking, Shen Yu passed a skewer of large chicken wings to Pu Sangzhi, "Please eat more, don’t be polite."

"Thank you, Auntie," Pu Sangzhi quickly reached out to take it, nodding respectfully.

"As for our family’s Xiaofeng, we’ve never had many demands, just hoping that he grows up happy. Although he often speaks incoherently, his intentions towards you are quite clear. Don’t find him annoying, he has a good heart, and is well-behaved at home. Usually, if he doesn’t go out to play, he does nearly all the housework. I don’t know if it’s too early to say this, but I hope the two of you will have a good relationship."

Since the topic had come to this point, Shen Yu boldly pushed it to the peak, "I’ve been looking forward to the day when he can bring you into our home, thinking of the day in the future when I can drink your bridal tea."

Pu Sangzhi seemed not to have expected Shen Yu to speak so directly; she stopped biting the chicken wing, her eyes wide open, and she didn’t know how to respond to Shen Yu...

She couldn’t face Shen Yu with the mindset of just meeting a classmate’s parent...

Because not only did she regard Shen Yu as a potential mother-in-law in her heart, but Shen Yu’s attitude toward her was also that of treating a future daughter-in-law!

Discussing this now, is really too soon!

Pu Sangzhi truly didn’t know what to do...

"Mom, you should speak with more consideration; you’ve scared her," Huo Feng said as he saw Pu Sangzhi’s embarrassed expression, and quickly tried to help her out, passing her a tissue, "Wipe your mouth, there’s cumin on the corner."

Pu Sangzhi quickly took the tissue and wiped her mouth, worried about losing face in front of Shen Yu.

At this moment, Ye Qingcao felt like an outsider, as if she were partaking in a family banquet.

Ye Qingcao was quite content to be this outsider.

She looked at Shen Yu, then at Huo Feng, and finally at Sangzhi by her side, finding the expression on each face extremely interesting.

And she felt envious...

Why did everyone else’s relationship seem so smooth!

Thinking about it, Sangzhi had already met the parents, and the parents liked her so much!

Whereas Ye Qingcao herself hadn’t even had a chance to get to know her crush, not having stepped even the first step on the starting line...

Comparisons truly bring pain to the heart!
