Chapter 534: Chapter 534

In such hot conditions, it was impossible to focus on revision.

By now, everyone was aware of the situation.

So, to ensure that the tutoring could continue, Pu Sangzhi had a discussion with Huo Feng.

The electric fan across from the coffee table was creaking away, and on the other side sat Pu Sangzhi, Ye Qingcao, and Huo Feng, cozily perched on the wooden sofa.

To make the fan blow evenly at all three of them, its head kept oscillating...

This led to each person only catching a waft of the warm air from the fan, a dire scarcity indeed! Quite pitiful!

To solve the issue once and for all, the wealthy Huo Feng waved his hand and suggested, "Let’s just buy an air conditioner! If we order from Taobao now, we might even get it by tomorrow."

As he spoke, Huo Feng had already quickly pulled out his phone, ready to place an order for the air conditioner.

Fortunately, Pu Sangzhi was quick to act, pressing down on his phone to veto the plan, "No way, buying an air conditioner is a big decision that I need to discuss with my mom."

"Okay, I’ll go and talk to Auntie."

Huo Feng was about to get up to discuss buying the air conditioner with Chen Huifen.

However, he had barely stood up when Pu Sangzhi held him back...

"Don’t be so impulsive! Sit down first, let’s think of another solution," Pu Sangzhi suggested.

But Huo Feng insisted, "Buying an air conditioner is a permanent fix. How else are you and your mother going to survive this summer? Relying on this lousy fan?"

"Hey, watch your language, what do you mean ’lousy fan’..." Pu Sangzhi wasn’t pleased with Huo Feng’s words.

"Alright, alright, I misspoke."

Huo Feng admitted his mistake, but he still stood by his idea, "Getting an air conditioner is no big deal. We could buy a low-frequency one that doesn’t use much electricity. Air conditioners aren’t expensive these days, I’m telling you, there’s a plethora of them for 1000 yuan on Taobao. I just happened to earn an extra 1000 this month, so buying one is absolutely no pressure for me!"

Pu Sangzhi once again refused, "I don’t want to use your money to buy an air conditioner for our home. If we really decide to buy one, I will discuss it with my mom. Don’t even think about it, I don’t want you to spend the money."

"You’re treating me like an outsider again..."

Huo Feng frowned and looked intently at her, "Can’t you just treat me like family? Sooner or later we’re going to be one anyhow, so what’s wrong with doing something for you and Auntie?"

"Oh man, now’s not the time to say that kind of thing..."

Pu Sangzhi wasn’t willing to entertain Huo Feng’s sweet talk, "My mom and I don’t mind the heat. She’s usually cold and doesn’t sweat much in the summer, so she won’t agree to buy an air conditioner. Let’s think of another solution, like, going to someone else’s house to study."

Ye Qingcao eagerly raised her hand, "Why not come to my place to study? Although it’s a bit far in Rui’an!"

Pu Sangzhi: "No need..."

Huo Feng: "You have the nerve to suggest Rui’an!"

Ye Qingcao was blatantly rejected, "...Guess I didn’t say anything."

"We still need to buy the air conditioner, though."

Huo Feng still stuck to his opinion, "It’s so tough without an air conditioner in the middle of summer! Did you two really just get through July like that? By using the electric fan?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "We got through it like that, and it wasn’t too hard."

Ye Qingcao added, "Besides, we spend the days at the shop, and there’s air conditioning there. By the time we come home at night, it’s already late, and it’s not hot. Plus, we shower and wash our hair as soon as we get home, which makes us feel even cooler. Once we’re in bed with the fan on us, we even feel a bit chilly!"

"Alright, alright... Nights are easy to deal with, but what about the afternoons? You don’t have air conditioning now, do you? Doesn’t the fan just make you hotter?"

Huo Feng frowned and declared, "I’ll just buy an air conditioner for Sangzhi’s room, that settles it."

Pu Sangzhi held down the phone that Huo Feng had raised, "You’re not allowed to buy me an air conditioner; it’s an unnecessary expense. Summer will be over soon, just this one month left, and by September, we’ll be at school where there’s air conditioning."

Huo Feng looked helplessly at the thrifty Pu Sangzhi...

In the midst of summer, she wouldn’t even consider buying an air conditioner, and that made him feel so distressed!

Huo Feng took hold of Pu Sangzhi’s small hand, "Sometimes you don’t have to be so distant with me, okay? I don’t want you to keep your distance. I can buy you an air conditioner, it’s not expensive... how can I bear to let you suffer alone at home for a month!"

Pu Sangzhi wasn’t swayed by Huo Feng’s melodious words, saying instead, "Go to your secret base then. If you really want to buy an air conditioner, install it there, and from now on, we’ll go there to study every day."

Huo Feng replied helplessly, "That place already has air conditioning..."

"Then that’s even better!"

Pu Sangzhi firmly decided on the spot, "From now on, we’ll study there. Starting tomorrow, you’ll pick me up from my house, and we’ll go there to study until about 5:00 p.m. before coming back. That’s decided!"

Huo Feng, seeing Pu Sangzhi’s stubbornness, felt truly aggrieved, "This month, my ten ’sons’ have also started their revision. They’re all over there..."

Pu Sangzhi wasn’t concerned, "Then we’ll just study with them. Besides, there’s plenty of space to accommodate both of us."

Ye Qingcao spoke up meekly from the side, "What about me?"

Pu Sangzhi patted Ye Qingcao’s shoulder and said, "There’s also room for Xiaocao."

Ye Qingcao nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm!"

Huo Feng just watched the two of them going back and forth, nobody paying any attention to what he was saying.

He couldn’t help but sigh heavily, covering his eyes with a troubled expression.

"You really sweat a lot..."

Seeing a bead of sweat trickle down his forehead, Pu Sangzhi instinctively reached out and used her fingertips to wipe Huo Feng’s sweat away.

This intimate gesture warmed Huo Feng’s heart; he tilted his head slightly and looked at her intently, "You feel sorry for me, huh?"

Pu Sangzhi clicked her tongue and turned her head away, ignoring him.

"Sangzhi, I feel sorry for you..."

But unexpectedly, Huo Feng suddenly said such a thing.

"I really do feel sorry for you."

Afterward, he even repeated it, "Just give me a chance to take good care of you. I don’t want you and Auntie to live such hard lives; I want you, at the very least, to live comfortably."

Huo Feng especially wanted to persuade her to let him buy an air conditioner for her house.

Huo Feng had only noticed today that her house didn’t even have an air conditioner.

Upon learning this, Huo Feng feared that in the future, whenever he enjoyed the air conditioning in his own home, his mind would be on Pu Sangzhi, who had no air conditioning and could only be warmed by the breeze of an electric fan...

Such an uncomfortable feeling would make him feel like he wasn’t fulfilling his duty as a good boyfriend!

"Just get an air conditioner..."

Huo Feng gripped her small hand tightly, pleading gently, "I know you don’t want to spend my money, but I earn money easily. Moreover, as your future husband, I should be the one making money for you to spend. Air conditioners aren’t expensive, electronics are cheap these days, as long as we don’t buy the best ones. Let’s just buy one... I want you and Auntie to live at least comfortably..."

Pu Sangzhi was indeed moved by Huo Feng’s words...

She had to admit, her heart was beating faster while Huo Feng was speaking.

Thumping rapidly, so much so that it seemed she could hear her own heartbeat near her ears...

Yet, even though his words moved her.

That couldn’t be the reason for her to take advantage of Huo Feng.

Pu Sangzhi, having always controlled the boundaries between her and Huo Feng, should make sure to maintain a proper distance.

They were still so young...

Pu Sangzhi didn’t find it appropriate to spend so much of his money, nor to let him buy an air conditioner for her family.

Besides, she was earning money herself.

If she really wanted to buy an air conditioner, she could pay for it herself.

So, despite Huo Feng’s many kind words, Pu Sangzhi still gently refused him in the end, "I really don’t want it. I appreciate your kindness and your sense of responsibility. But if you respect me, then don’t do this. Huo Feng..."

Huo Feng, suddenly called by his name, "Huh?"

Pu Sangzhi gazed into his bright black eyes, "I think, you seem to have grown up a little."

One of Huo Feng’s eyebrows arched high, "Grown up? Me? What was I before then?"

Pu Sangzhi smiled, "You were so immature before. It’s been almost a year since we’ve known each other, right... I suddenly feel like you are growing up."

Huo Feng pursed his lips, "Of course, I’ve been growing up, grew three centimeters in height, I’m now 1.81 meters tall, right?"

Pu Sangzhi laughed, "I mean, your mental age is also growing up. You seem more and more mature..." The source of thɪs content is 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝

Huo Feng felt like he was being complimented!

He pursed his lips, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, "Really?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Really."

Huo Feng was a bit happy, "More and more like a man?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Somewhat."

Pu Sangzhi felt he wasn’t just a boy anymore.

Lately, she has been wanting to rely on him more and more...
