Chapter 561: Chapter 561
If the situation weren’t , why would Pu Sangzhi ever think of leaving him?
If life weren’t , Pu Sangzhi would have wanted to grow and mature with him, hand in hand, walking into the future.
If fate weren’t , Pu Sangzhi believed she would become the happiest person in the world...
But at this moment, there was no hope before her eyes, her future was a blur, and she didn’t even know what might happen tomorrow?
She saw the anxiety and reluctance mingling in the depths of Huo Feng’s eyes, saw his eyebrows furrowed so tightly, his complexion so awful, saw that his mood was so bad because of what she said...
His emotions, his words, they just made her feel so sad...
Pu Sangzhi hung her head, quietly withdrawing the hand that Huo Feng held, and a bitter smile curled the corners of her mouth, "I was just talking, don’t take it too seriously. I’m going up now..."
Having said that, she lowered her head and turned around, leaving without even daring to glance at Huo Feng.
Because his serious gaze was terrifying...
She didn’t dare meet his eyes, didn’t dare look into his earnest pupils, didn’t dare face the panic in his eyes...
Afraid she would be defeated by reality and forced to leave him...
Because she was too afraid, thus she wanted to escape.
"You mustn’t leave me!"
Huo Feng shouted loudly at her retreating figure.
His tone was so firm, his voice so clear, it sounded so resolute, so certain...
Pu Sangzhi involuntarily stopped in her tracks...
Behind her, Huo Feng, still hopeful, continued to shout, "You mustn’t leave me! Don’t you dare! Pu Sangzhi, you mustn’t leave me!"
He repeated it over and over, each time with more emphasis, biting down hard on those three syllables of her name!
Every word he uttered seemed magical, each one sending echoes through her heart!
The waves inside her were churning fiercely, as if a warm current was injected into her heart, coursing through her blood to the rest of her body...
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, her hand at her side clenched into a fist; it took a great effort for her to muster the Courage to turn her head, her gaze locking onto him, she replied, "I’m not leaving, you fool!"
The last two words, she gritted her teeth, saying them with force.
Huo Feng’s eyes, flushed with emotion, watched her from a distance, at this moment, he couldn’t muster the courage to move closer, he could only stand there and say to her from afar, "If you have to go, just let me know, I’ll go with you! Wherever you go, I’ll follow, wherever you are, I’ll be there too! Pu Sangzhi, you mustn’t leave me, no matter what!"
With her lips trembling, Pu Sangzhi forced a smile, "I really won’t leave, stop being foolish. Go back, I’m going up, good night!"
After saying this, Pu Sangzhi truly turned and left.
She ran into the girls’ dormitory, her silhouette hurried, and in no time at all, she disappeared from Huo Feng’s sight.
Not until she was completely out of sight did Huo Feng finally let out a sigh...
He felt a tightness in his chest, so constricted he punched his heart, but he still couldn’t seem to get that breath out.
He knew he was anxious, very afraid, terrified of her leaving, terrified she would vanish from his life, even afraid she would just disappear from his world.
Huo Feng now, how could he live without Pu Sangzhi...
That night, after returning to the girls’ dormitory, Pu Sangzhi washed up and went to bed early.
She didn’t speak to anyone in the dormitory, as if she had enclosed herself in her own world, as if she felt that only by doing so could she hide the fact that her family was mired in debt, and protect her dignity in front of her classmates.
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao paced back and forth by her bed frequently, casting countless glances at her during that time, clearly wanting to communicate with her.
But Pu Sangzhi facing the wall didn’t respond to them...
That night, the girls’ dormitory was very quiet, so quiet that no one dared to speak, all were considerate of Pu Sangzhi’s feelings.
Amidst the gloom of self-confinement, Pu Sangzhi gradually closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep...
In the latter half of the night, she had a long dream, a very unpleasant one.
She dreamed that Huo Feng abandoned his studies and everything else, taking her to drift and evade debtors.
They went to many places, to Beijing and Shanghai, to several countries...
In the end, they were still found by the debt-collecting thugs.
And in the final moment, the debt-collecting thugs stabbed Huo Feng several times, and as he lay bleeding profusely in her arms, he told her he could no longer protect her...
In the dream, Pu Sangzhi cried with heart-wrenching sobs, her despair so thick it led her to collapse!
In reality, Pu Sangzhi was also woken up by her roommate.
When she woke up, the entire dormitory was pitch-black, but there were two people sitting beside her bed...
"Sangzhi, Sangzhi, wake up..."
Zhu Dandan’s and Wen Miao’s voices rose to her ears, their tones full of urgency and concern.
Pu Sangzhi’s body was trembling slightly, and with it, the quilt covering her was shaking. Zhu Dandan’s and Wen Miao’s hands were gently placed on the quilt, patting it up and down.
"Sangzhi, are you awake?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
Zhu Dandan asked her in a low voice, turning on the flashlight of the mobile phone, casting its faint light on her face, anxiously wanting to see her.
The light from the flashlight illuminated Pu Sangzhi’s tear-streaked face, with disheveled hair sticking to her damp cheeks. At that moment, curled up in her bed, she looked so disheveled and forlorn.
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao felt so heartbroken!
"Sangzhi, you were having a nightmare."
Zhu Dandan patted Pu Sangzhi’s arm, speaking in a soothing tone, "You were crying so loudly, you scared us all."
Wen Miao glanced at the time on the phone screen and said with worry, "It’s only four o’clock, you can still sleep. Try to calm down... "
While saying this, Wen Miao quickly ran to the desk to find some tissues, and hurriedly brought them back to Pu Sangzhi.
It was not until then that Pu Sangzhi realized that she had finally woken up, that everything she had experienced just now was a dream, all fake.
Wen Miao handed the tissue to Pu Sangzhi, and she grabbed it, wiping her face forcefully, sniffing, and said in a half-asleep, half-awake crying tone, "I dreamed that Huo Feng had died... I was so upset..."
"Dreams are the opposite of reality! You mustn’t be afraid!"
Zhu Dandan patted her back to comfort her, "Feng is alive and well; he even walked you back to the dormitory yesterday. Don’t be scared... "
"Yeah, why would you dream about such things?"
Wen Miao sat down by Pu Sangzhi’s bedside, a large hand gently touching her forehead covered in sweat beads, "Go back to sleep for a bit, Dandan and I will stay with you."
Zhu Dandan pulled at the quilt, "Can I come in and lie with you? Or maybe you can hold me while you sleep?"
At this moment, both roommates were bringing waves of warmth to Pu Sangzhi...
Pu Sangzhi thought about how coldly she had treated her roommates the night before, yet they were so caring and concerned about her.
Pu Sangzhi felt moved and distressed in her heart...
She scooted over in bed, making room on half of the bed.
Zhu Dandan felt the available space on the bed and quickly climbed in, comfortably lying down beside her, and pulling the quilt over both of them.
"It’s okay, it’s okay..."
Zhu Dandan gently patted Pu Sangzhi’s back, "Feng is still alive and well, nothing has happened to him. If you don’t believe me, I’ll message Feng right now to call you as soon as he wakes up tomorrow morning."
As she spoke, Zhu Dandan did indeed send Huo Feng a message, asking him to call Sangzhi first thing tomorrow morning, because Pu Sangzhi had a nightmare.
Lying in bed, Pu Sangzhi quietly watched Zhu Dandan message Huo Feng, looking at Huo Feng’s WeChat avatar, she softly sobbed...
Because the scenes from the dream had been too vivid, too frightening...
Even after waking up, even though she knew it was just a dream, Pu Sangzhi was still haunted by fear and trepidation...
At this very moment, she really wanted to hear Huo Feng’s voice.
So, Pu Sangzhi said to Zhu Dandan, "Do you have any of Huo Feng’s voice messages? Play them for me..."
Zhu Dandan nodded right away, "Of course! Not just voice messages, I have videos of Feng playing and singing! Let me find one for you! Hey, Wen Miao, bring some earphones over here."
Wen Miao quickly ran to get the earphones and handed them to them.
Zhu Dandan opened a video of Huo Feng playing and singing "East and West" at a comic convention, plugged in the earphones, and handed them to Pu Sangzhi, "Here, enjoy!"
Even though it was just a short video clip, even though it was already a memory...
Pu Sangzhi treasured the earphones as she listened, reminiscing and feeling...
Hearing Huo Feng’s voice...
Only then did her heart begin to settle down slowly.
She took a deep breath...
