Chapter 589: Chapter 589

Huo Feng had always treated Pu Sangzhi with courtesy, never forcing her to do anything she was unwilling to do.

Their relationship had also developed step by step in an orderly fashion...

From initially shortening the physical distance between them to later holding hands, and then to embracing each other...

It was like climbing a ladder, each step steadily taken.

This was Huo Feng’s respect for her, as well as his way of protecting and cherishing her.

He respected Pu Sangzhi’s plans for the future, believing that with each steady step, their feelings would also accumulate and eventually erupt like a slow-building explosion.

And he was waiting for her to erupt.

This sudden abandonment had indeed frightened Huo Feng.

So much so that he could no longer wait patiently for her to erupt, and instead, he erupted first, before her.

At this moment, he imprisoned Pu Sangzhi in his strong arms with his overpowering presence, forcing a kiss upon her!

Pu Sangzhi struggled in his embrace, turning her head to get away, yet she was still tightly held by his other hand at the back of her neck!

His actions were domineering and forceful, a departure from his usual careful handling of her...

At this moment, he was rough and overbearing, his lips chaotically sucking, or even biting, her lips!

Pu Sangzhi furrowed her brows, her hands pounding and pushing against his chest with all her might in resistance.

But it was of no use!

Huo Feng’s lips were domineering and fervently lingering on hers, even forcefully so, making her feel almost suffocated.

"Mmm... No... Mmm..."

Pu Sangzhi could only produce whimpering, struggling noises under his aggressive and impolite actions.

After an unknown period of struggle, Pu Sangzhi gradually realized she could not resist him, and finally stopped struggling, merely locking her brows tightly and staring fixedly with her glistening black eyes at his face that loomed large before her...

She saw that his sword-like eyebrows were also tightly furrowed, with a ’chuan’ character wrinkle between them, as if he was not happy either.

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, and those little hands that had been pounding his chest somehow clenched his t-shirt tightly, the tension in her fists revealing her nervousness.

At this time, Huo Feng also felt the lack of reaction in the arms of Xiaocao, no thrashing, no protesting, yet she was not submissive, letting his lips gnaw, nibble, and suck on hers, wantonly rampaging...

After a few minutes, Huo Feng eventually started to rein himself in, stopping the kiss and moving his head slightly backward, stopping about 5 centimeters away from her face...

The distance was still very close, close enough to see an enlarged version of each other’s faces, as if their eyes could only accommodate the other’s face.

Seeing the redness around her eyes, a vague pang of pain flickered in Huo Feng’s heart. He opened his lips slightly, "Want to cry?"

Pu Sangzhi quietly pressed her lips, which were slightly swollen from his kisses, looking away from his gaze, and said in a tiny, mosquito-like voice, "Why... why would you do that?"

Huo Feng’s hand, which had been holding the back of her neck, moved slowly forward to cup her small face. His palm gently and carefully cradled her cheek, as if holding a precious treasure...

"If I said I couldn’t help myself, you wouldn’t blame me, would you?" Huo Feng asked with slightly raised eyebrows.

At this point, the atmosphere between the two involuntarily shifted from tense to ambiguous, and even the nearby air seemed to heat up, causing Pu Sangzhi’s cheeks to blush at once.

She kept her head down, not speaking. Although she had a lot to say, given the circumstances, she didn’t know where to begin?

Huo Feng’s thumb gently rubbed her small face, his deep black eyes gazing intently at her, and he said, "Do you know why I teased you all day?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips unhappily and spat out two words, "Revenge."

Huo Feng suddenly laughed, a laughter that was hearty and bold, "Fine, call it revenge if you wish. I just wanted to vent."

Pu Sangzhi had guessed his mentality, but hearing him speak his thoughts outright still irritated her.

She punched his chest lightly, pouting her lips and suddenly rolling her eyes at him.

Watching her expression, Huo Feng suddenly laughed again, "Ha ha... Are you angry now?"

Listening unhappily, Pu Sangzhi hammered his chest with her fists several times, saying as she did, "For a man, do you have to be so petty?"

Huo Feng quickly grabbed her small hand with one of his, his large hand tightly enveloping hers, and then pressed her hand to his chest, "Let me explain to you why I had to mess with you all day."

Pu Sangzhi used her free hand to push against his chest, dodging and saying, "You’re not speaking because it’s revenge, right? Move aside, I don’t want to be this close to you."

"Hey! You do want to be close to me in your heart, I know it."

Huo Feng continued to hold her like a ruffian, then, holding her small hand, he said, "You also know, I’m someone who holds grudges. What you did yesterday, lying to me and leaving me here, has left a shadow in my heart. If we were to part ways , I, Huo Feng, might hate you for a lifetime. Even if I still think of you and miss you later on, my heart would still harbor resentment towards you. If we were to go our separate ways now, and meet again in a few years, or even a decade, who knows if I would still seek revenge then?"

Pu Sangzhi grew even more displeased as she listened, "Are you that petty? Are you even a man? You lack the generosity that a man should have!"

"Of course, I’m a man!"

Huo Feng admitted unabashedly, "But I’ve always been a petty man who can’t stand any discomfort in my eyes and holds onto grudges easily. If I hadn’t been , do you think, I could have been disinterested in any girl other than you?"

Pu Sangzhi frowned, pounding on his chest, "Who’s talking about this with you? Let go, I don’t want to be this close."

Huo Feng stubbornly refused to let go, "I know you want to be close to me!"

Pu Sangzhi denied it, "I don’t want to be close to you. Let go quickly!"

Huo Feng "tsk tsk" twice, "Your heart is thinking about being close with me, you just won’t say it. We’ll put aside this topic for now, let me finish the previous one first."

Pu Sangzhi found his words more and more preposterous, "Who wants to be close to you?"

"Hold on a moment, let me finish the previous topic..."

Huo Feng continued, "It’s precisely because I harbor resentment in my heart that I wanted to mess with you a bit. After spending the whole day together, any resentment or grudge in my heart has dissipated. Now, I can hold my heart, swear to heaven and earth that my heart doesn’t hold the slightest bit of grudge against you. The matter of you deceiving me is behind us, I will never bring it up again, nor will I dig up old grievances. Starting tomorrow, life goes on as usual!"

Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi finally began to understand.

Turns out, he was seeking a reasonable excuse to soothe his own heart.

Only by getting over this hurdle in his heart could he face her peacefully, continuing to interact with her as before, jesting and socializing.

Otherwise, he might always remember this incident in his heart, harboring resentment for what she did to him, perhaps unable to forgive her...

Actually, this was quite good.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what kind of face to present to him, whom she had hurt.

Only by mutually inflicting pain on each other could they both let go of the bitterness in their hearts.

"Then let me tell you about the next topic."

Huo Feng suddenly curved his lips, raising one eyebrow, "I know you want to be close to me. Don’t repress it; I know everything now."

Pu Sangzhi scrutinized him with a look from head to toe, her brows furrowing tighter, "You’re overthinking it." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱

"Whether I’m overthinking it or not, just listening to your side of the story isn’t enough. Everything must be evidenced, let me show you proof..."

While speaking, Huo Feng took out his phone from his pocket, tapped on the screen a few times, and brought up a photo for her to see.

The photo was of a page in her sketchbook, the one filled with the words ’I like you’...

Upon seeing this picture, Pu Sangzhi was so startled that her eyes widened and her mouth hung open in shock, speechless for a moment.

Watching her bewildered expression, Huo Feng’s smile grew even wider, his eyes crinkling, "Looks familiar, doesn’t it, girlfriend? How about I read it to you..."

As he spoke, Huo Feng lifted the phone, unabashedly reading the text on the picture, "I like you, like you, really like you, I like you Huo Feng, really so much... mmph..."

Even though he was reading fast, before he could finish, Pu Sangzhi’s hands covered his lips!

By that time, Pu Sangzhi’s face had turned as red as a ripe apple, her eyes flitting about unintentionally, and as she opened her mouth to speak, she was so nervous that she stuttered, "You... you must not say any more. How... how did you get this? Did Xiaocao give it to you? Quickly delete it! No, give it back to me! It’s a girl’s... "secret, ah!

Huo Feng’s eyebrows lifted in joy, his face beaming with delight.

"No wonder, no wonder you’re in such a good mood, even finding ways to mess with me..."

Pu Sangzhi grew more anxious, "It’s all scribbles, it doesn’t count, give it back to me."

Huo Feng laughed loudly into the palm covering his mouth.

His mood was really very good indeed!
