Chapter 563: Chapter 563

Finally, Huo Feng furiously penned down two math exam papers and earned himself a 15-minute break!

You should know, writing math exam papers is extremely brain-draining!

These math problems are all about formulas and algorithms; a single large problem can damage a ton of brain cells!

So, after finishing two exam papers, Huo Feng was very tired!

He lay flat on the desk, letting out a long sigh, his gaze and tone filled with grievance.

By his side, Pu Sangzhi was busy correcting his two math papers, her head bent over the task, her clean and pretty brows and eyes reflecting seriousness and concentration.

Huo Feng’s head rested in the crook of his arm, his handsome, sharp eyebrows and playful, upturned phoenix eyes also in view, his dark pupils intently gazing at Pu Sangzhi, engraving her fairy-like visage into his memory, utterly intoxicated!

The unadorned Pu Sangzhi had a fair complexion with a healthy rosy tint, red lips, white teeth, a straight and slightly upturned nose, along with a set of fresh and beautiful features...

His girlfriend was just too beautiful...

Is there any girl in this world more beautiful than his girlfriend?

Huo Feng quietly admired her in his heart.

Huo Feng called her softly, his thin lips curving slightly, "Next week, let’s go to Hangzhou. They’ll be back on Saturday, so let’s come back on Sunday, okay? Stay there for an extra day, what do you think?"

Without lifting her eyelids, Pu Sangzhi responded, "What’s there to do?"

"Tourism, of course!"

Huo Feng’s fingers slowly moved towards Pu Sangzhi’s side, touching the sleeve of her school uniform lightly with his fingertips, "I promised to take you on a trip for your birthday, but it didn’t happen. Next week is a perfect opportunity; we can have fun in Hangzhou, a place close by. Next year, I’ll take you to Beijing!"

Pu Sangzhi instinctively wanted to refuse him, but after thinking it over, she felt an extra day wouldn’t matter and nodded in agreement, "Okay then."

Huo Feng immediately raised a finger to point at her, "Let me be clear, you can only stay with me for an extra day! You can’t bring any third wheel, including Xiaocao!"

Last year, when they attended a math competition in Wenzhou, Yan Siyuan and Ye Qingcao were also participants. And after that competition, the two of them also passed the round.

So, they would both be able to attend the national math competition being held in Hangzhou this time.

Thinking about it, actually, next Saturday, there should be four of them meeting there, and likely four people coming back together as well.

Since Ye Qingcao and Yan Siyuan have yet to see each other to this day, it should be just like before, meeting in separate groups and coming back in separate groups.

However, from the sound of it, Pu Sangzhi thought, he probably didn’t want to mix with others anymore, right?

Pu Sangzhi asked him again, "Xiaocao might want to come with me. You know how she is."

"No way!" Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Huo Feng refused, "She may want to, but I don’t. I don’t want to share you with anyone! We already have so little time alone!"

Pu Sangzhi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, finally looking up at him, "Too little?"

Huo Feng blurted out quickly, "Yes, too little!"

Pu Sangzhi countered, "How is it too little? We can see each other every day, and on weekends, I even tutor you. Compared to Xiaocao, you spend a lot more time with me."

"Hey, what are you talking about!"

Huo Feng argued with discontent, "I’m talking about alone time! Don’t you think we have too little alone time? Whenever I want to say something sweet or do something romantic, we always have to consider the situation!"

Pu Sangzhi replied, "But our alone time is more than the time I spend alone with Xiaocao."

Huo Feng was even less convinced, "That’s different! With Xiaocao, you guys don’t need to be alone to cuddle and be all lovey-dovey. With me, you’re always watching the situation, okay! Any inkling of impropriety and you won’t even let me touch your fingertips!"

His tone was so exaggerated, with a rising inflection at the end, as if brimming with grievances.

Pu Sangzhi laughed at his words, "Is that so?"

Huo Feng’s eyebrow lifted even higher, "Could it be otherwise? Don’t you have any clue how you treat me?"

Pu Sangzhi frowned, "Hey..."

Huo Feng raised a hand and waved, "Alright, alright, I won’t swear. As long as you know! Anyway, when we go to Hangzhou next week, it’s just the two of us! I’ll arrange all the activities, and you can only be with me. No one else is allowed to stand by your side, including Xiaocao! If Xiaocao clings to you, I’ll give you a signal and quickly make an escape with me! Just leave Xiaocao behind; she has her own classmates. She has more friends than just you, and if that’s not enough, she still has Yan Ji! You need to let go! Got it?"

Faced with Huo Feng’s domineering words, if it were any other time, Pu Sangzhi’s instinct would have been to refuse.

But now, the situation was truly different.

she felt Huo Feng was right...

They had little time alone, and it might become even less in the future, perhaps diminishing each time.

So, she should just listen to him.

She too wanted to leave behind more beautiful memories with him.

She also hoped that her youth would be filled with him.

Pu Sangzhi agreed in a soft voice.

At the moment she conceded, the corners of Huo Feng’s lips curled up, and his large hand directly grasped her small one, enveloping it tightly within his palm...

"This time, I will definitely make up for your birthday," he said.

A smile of contentment on her face, Pu Sangzhi responded lightly, "Hmm."

Actually, celebrating her birthday or not wasn’t important.

Right now, the most important thing for her was simply being together with him.

Thus, the trip to Hangzhou next Saturday became the only event Pu Sangzhi was looking forward to in her gloomy life.

That Saturday, she tutored Huo Feng for the entire day.

Starting in the afternoon, the tutoring session lasted until 8 PM, and only ended when the library’s old janitor said they were closing early that day.

After leaving the library, the two wandered around the campus hand in hand, walking, chatting, and laughing, in good spirits.

Saturday quietly concluded amidst a harmonious atmosphere.

Saturday night, after returning to the girls’ dormitory, Pu Sangzhi, her spirits much restored, took the initiative to speak with Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao.

Seeing Pu Sangzhi’s improved condition, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were both happy for her, interacting with her as usual.

Aside from topics they shouldn’t ask about, like family issues and the debt problem, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were really good conversationalists on other topics.

So it was, that Saturday, Pu Sangzhi gradually regained her spirits. With the help of those around her, she managed to dispel the unease in her heart, quickly recovering her usual vigor.

With a little more time, she believed the incident involving the splash of red paint would eventually pass, vanishing with the flow of time.

However, in reality, no one gave her more time to recover.

There were only those who poured fuel on the fire...

There were those who continued to stir the pot on this greatly influential matter, blatantly defying decency!

Sunday was the day when first-year students returned to school, and it was also the day within the week when the campus reopened.

Beginning at 3 PM and around until 6 PM, first-year students trickled back from outside and into the school...

Thus, a new wave of information was once again brought into the school by the first-year students from outside.

At around 3:30 PM, Han Lei, with a single-strap backpack and wearing an oversized school uniform, got off a tricycle.

As he was just getting off and paying the fare, he suddenly heard a very clear childish voice saying, "Brother, do you know Pu Sangzhi from Class 2 (1)? If you know her, please give this to her for me! Tell her to pay back the money soon."

Hearing Pu Sangzhi’s name, Han Lei immediately turned around, looking in surprise at the source of those words.

A boy about half his height was barring the path of some Longxiang School students, handing out flyers...

Han Lei quickly paid the tricycle fare and hurriedly ran towards the boy with his backpack slung over his shoulder.

Just as he got behind the boy, the boy also turned his head, and just happened to look up and see him...

The boy, as if not wanting to miss any opportunity, raised the flyer high in his hand, offering it to Han Lei: "Brother, do you know Pu Sangzhi from Class 2 (1)? If you know her, please give this to her for me! Tell her to pay back the money soon."

These words were repeated once again, the act of handing out flyers also repeated.

Han Lei had no idea how many times the kid had already repeated this action today...

He took the flyer and saw Pu Sangzhi’s photo printed on the black and white flyer, with a few strikingly prominent words: "Pu Sangzhi from Class 2 (1) owes money and doesn’t pay back! Worse than pigs and dogs! What’s the point of her studies!"

Below, there was also a line of smaller print: "If you dare, come out! Can the school protect you forever? Hurry up and leave, sell your house to pay back the debt!"

Such a simple flyer, and the boy had a thick stack in his hands, forcefully pushing them onto any student in a uniform, insisting on spreading the message into the school.

Han Lei’s eyes widened as he stared at this dreadful thing, his fingers trembling slightly!
