Chapter 590: Chapter 590
Pu Sangzhi finally understood why Huo Feng was in such a good mood today.
It turned out he had covertly observed her things, gotten the measure of her thoughts, and now felt bold enough to forcefully kiss her, ignoring what she said, daring to argue back so brazenly.
It seemed he had figured everything out...
But although he had figured it out, his actions were unrestrained.
Pu Sangzhi had always tried to control the pace of their relationship, wanting to finish high school peacefully. But as soon as he understood her feelings, he started to kiss her forcefully.
Just now, no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn’t push him away; his kiss left her feeling helpless and somewhat scared.
However, Pu Sangzhi later thought that it was impossible for her to continue studying at Longxiang anyway. She might as well consider this the last time they would see each other...
That kiss from earlier would be her farewell gift to him.
Thinking this, Pu Sangzhi gradually withdrew her hand that was covering his mouth.
She hung her head slightly, her gaze flickering. It seemed she hesitated for quite a while before she got to the main point and said, "Forget it... It might be the last time we see each other anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you know how I feel. Yes, I was a bit moved... You probably could feel it."
"How could it be the last time we meet?"
Huo Feng put away his phone, wrapped his arms around her slender waist with both hands, looked down, and chuckled ruefully, "Don’t be so pessimistic. I’ve already taken care of that matter."
"You can’t take care of it."
Pu Sangzhi frowned and pushed against his chest again, "Stop holding me, and let’s sit down and talk it over."
Huo Feng playfully shook his head, "I want to hold you, and keep holding you unless you count to 1000."
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, mentally calling him childish, but couldn’t help curling the corners of her lips, "I want to sit down to talk; standing is too tiring. I’ve been standing at the train station all night."
Hearing her say that, Huo Feng finally let her go.
He released her reluctantly, and Pu Sangzhi, as if escaping, dashed away from his chest and quickly took a few steps to create some distance between them.
Seeing her avoidance, Huo Feng raised an eyebrow and sighed behind her, "Still so oblivious..."
Pu Sangzhi seemed to hear his murmur and turned to ask him, "What did you say?"
Huo Feng forced a smile, "I said you’re cute, pretty, beautiful, and gentle."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t believe he had murmured those things just now, but she didn’t press the issue. Instead, she sat on the bench, patted the seat beside her, and said to him, "Come sit. Let’s have a proper talk."
Huo Feng walked over to her and sat down next to her.
But after he sat down, one large palm improperly grasped her small hand, placed it on his thigh, and held it tightly...
Pu Sangzhi decided not to fuss over these small details; she was focused on saying what she wanted to say, "I’ve discussed it with my mom, and we’re planning to transfer to another place to finish high school. Since I’ve been exposed here, I can’t stay much longer. We don’t want to cause trouble for the people here, so it’s better to leave sooner."
Huo Feng had anticipated she would say something . After listening, he just raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I say I don’t agree?"
Pu Sangzhi turned her head, her bright eyes looking towards his profile, "It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not, the matter is too important. There’s nothing you can do even if you don’t agree. This isn’t something we students can influence..."
Indeed, the situation was difficult to deal with, even adults couldn’t handle it.
And they were just students...
But that wasn’t the reason she was forced to leave him.
The temporary solution to appease the situation wasn’t just hiding and escaping.
Huo Feng leaned back in the chair, stretching his limbs, and assumed a languid pose, "What if I say I have a way that can allow you to safely continue your classes here?"
Pu Sangzhi didn’t believe him, "Stop joking, what can you do? You’re not an adult."
"My grandfather paid some money," Huo Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi widened her eyes, disbelief written all over her pupils.
Huo Feng glanced sideways at her, taking in the astonishment and the difference in her expression, his thin lips curving up slightly, "I wasn’t going to tell you about how my grandfather paid to smooth things over. I didn’t want you to feel burdened by debt, nor did I want to hurt your pride. But now, it seems I have no choice but to tell you."
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and looked nervously at Huo Feng.
Then, Huo Feng continued, "That night, I called my grandfather to deal with those three guys. Originally, he just wanted to beat them up to show them who the real bosses are here, and that they didn’t have the ability to run wild on our turf. But later, they said that even if they were let go, the company would keep sending people over. Without those three, there could be five, seven, ten more... they have plenty of people, and they’re also unwilling to give up on collecting your family’s debt."
Pu Sangzhi had considered this situation, which is why she wanted to leave early, to hide from those people and give the school some peace.
So she asked, "Knowing the situation, you should let me leave."
"I know the situation, and my grandfather does too. So, he spent some money to bribe those three guys."
Huo Feng told her, "My grandfather promised each of them a sum of money, as long as they took back fake news to the company, telling them that they pressured you too much and you transferred to an unknown location. By doing that, they would temporarily cut off the trail and stop looking for you at the school. After all, the most dangerous place is often the safest. They shouldn’t even think that you’ll continue studying here."
These solutions Huo Feng talked about were entirely unknown to Pu Sangzhi; she had never even heard of such methods.
She had never even considered that there was such a solution to stop trouble before it escalated.
It seemed that she might still be able to stay in school after all.
But now she owed a favor as well as a monetary debt, and this time it was to Huo Feng’s family.
Pu Sangzhi hesitated for a moment, "Even if I use this money to buy their false information, it can only deceive them temporarily, right? I always feel it won’t last long. They might eventually catch on... a dangerous place is still dangerous after all."
"I’ve considered your concerns," Huo Feng acknowledged, then continued, "Afterward, my grandfather said that as long as they can keep an eye on the company and send back the latest news at any time, allowing you to get through high school peacefully. He will also pay each of them a sum of money, half a year at a time. It’s like hiring a long-term spy..."
Clearly unsettled, Pu Sangzhi said, "How much did your grandfather put out? How could he... how could he not fear getting into trouble... When I’m able to, I’ll surely repay him."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t know what to say.
Others were helping her , putting in money, effort, and strategy...
They weren’t even family, yet they were willing to spend money to resolve this issue for her.
This kind of favor truly moved Pu Sangzhi...
But at the same time, it brought her pressure.
Because of this, she felt she owed Huo Feng.
What she owed was not just sentiment but also money, and quite a lot of it...
In the future, she didn’t know how she would face Huo Feng with such a debt...
"I won’t tell you how much he put in now. I’ll tell you after graduation."
Huo Feng raised his hand and patted her head, "Don’t worry, you don’t have to repay this money."
With that, Pu Sangzhi felt even more pressure, "I have to repay it. It’s money that helped me, and I can’t let you repay it for me. How much exactly? I will repay it when I’m capable."
"Rest easy, I don’t need to repay it either."
Huo Feng scooted his butt a little closer to her, rested his palm on her shoulder, and gently squeezed, "My grandfather said, if I don’t marry you in the future, I’ll have to repay him. If I marry you, then there’s no need for repayment. Consider it a prepayment of the bride price, how about that? A life contract... You’ve just gained a husband for nothing, huh?"
Pu Sangzhi, out of irritation, punched his chest, "Stop joking. I’m serious, we need to keep clear accounts about the money. No matter what, I must repay it. How much exactly?"
"It’s not that much, really. You don’t have to be so calculative with me..."
Huo Feng frowned slightly, "How can a husband and wife live together if they are so calculative with each other?"
Pu Sangzhi said exasperatedly, "Don’t make jokes. How much exactly?"
Seeing her so adamant, Huo Feng sighed, "It’s really not much. If you really want to repay it, then repay with your body! Kiss me once a day, on the lips. 365 days a year, not a day less, and we’ll call it even on the debt."
Pu Sangzhi glared at him with irritation, "Hey, stop joking, be serious!"
Huo Feng spread his hands, "I’m very serious! My grandfather has spent money to buy a granddaughter-in-law! That’s the bride price! Why be so distant? Could it be you don’t want to marry me?"
Pu Sangzhi urgently said, "What are you talking about? We’re not even dating!"
Huo Feng immediately countered, "Hey! ’I like you, I like you, I really like you, Huo Feng...’"
Pu Sangzhi grew even more agitated, "Hey, stop talking!"
Huo Feng triumphantly asked, "Will you marry me?"
Pu Sangzhi turned her head away, "I don’t want to talk about this."
Huo Feng said, "You’ve already answered me in your heart."
Pu Sangzhi turned her head to the side, silent.
But Huo Feng continued, "Keep pretending, keep pretending. I still have evidence here, my trump card that I haven’t played yet..."
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but turn her head back, no matter what he planned, she grabbed his hand first, "Hey, stop fooling around, I don’t want to see anything else!"
Huo Feng chuckled, "Say you like me, and want to marry me."
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, unable to hold back any longer, "Wife~"
Pu Sangzhi instantly shuddered all over with goosebumps... Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
