Chapter 595: Chapter 595
After lunch, Pu Wenhua, Xu Hui, and Chen Huifen, the three elders, drove off to the shoe factory.
As a result, only Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao, the two girls, were left at the house.
It was a Saturday afternoon, and Huo Feng had just finished his morning class and was let out of school.
Driven by his longing for Pu Sangzhi, he learned that there were only two girls at home and he came over without hesitation.
In order to prevent Pu Sangzhi from having the opportunity to reject him, he even found a noble-sounding excuse: tutoring!
Next week would be the first monthly test of the first semester of the second year of high school, and Huo Feng said he needed Pu Sangzhi’s help to sprint into the top ten in his segment. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Pu Sangzhi thought she indeed hadn’t been keeping an eye on his studies for a while and should tutor him before the test.
Although she had missed two weeks of classes, it didn’t matter to her.
She had already self-studied almost all of the second-year content during her first year.
During her first year, the entire "53" textbook hadn’t posed any pressure on her at all.
At 1 p.m., Huo Feng carried his backpack and took the bus to Ye Qingcao’s neighborhood, as if it were a route he knew well.
This place is really far...
You have to wait ages for the bus, and ride it for ages...
If it weren’t for the fact that Pu Sangzhi was so attractive to him, Huo Feng really wouldn’t be willing to come here!
But, the thought of seeing Pu Sangzhi once he arrived still made Huo Feng very happy!
In Ye Qingcao’s room, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng quickly started tutoring.
Perhaps the pink atmosphere between them was too strong, causing Ye Qingcao to feel thoroughly like a superfluous third wheel...
Ye Qingcao lay on the bed playing with her phone, her attention occasionally drawn to the sounds of teaching from their desk.
She would occasionally glance at them and see them earnestly reviewing...
A few minutes later, she glanced again and they were still earnestly reviewing...
Three minutes repeat...
Five minutes repeat...
At the tenth minute, when Ye Qingcao glanced over again, she saw Huo Feng’s hand suddenly circle around Pu Sangzhi’s waist!
Ye Qingcao’s eyes widened, her voice rising in a surprised squeal.
Hearing her voice, Pu Sangzhi, feeling guilty like a thief, swatted Huo Feng’s hand and reminded him, "Study! Don’t get handsy!"
Huo Feng silently withdrew his hand and pulled a triumphant smile, "Alright~ I’ll listen to you~"
The atmosphere became even more outrageous!
Ye Qingcao, lying on the bed, suddenly felt like she was going blind from watching them!
"I can’t take it anymore, the room is yours, I’m going outside..."
Ye Qingcao was about to leave as she spoke, but before she could get up, Huo Feng stopped her with his hand, "Hey, lie back down, don’t move!"
Ye Qingcao looked at Huo Feng, puzzled, "Am I not hindering your display of affection?"
"Not hindering, we weren’t paying attention to you."
Huo Feng smiled at her, "But you can’t go out. If you sit outside alone, and it’s just Sangzhi and me in here, the elders might come back and start thinking something wild. Just sit there and don’t move, you’re our talisman!"
That’s really too much.
Every single word is too much.
They didn’t even regard her as a person anymore!
"Xiaocao, you should do some homework too."
Pu Sangzhi, seeing that Ye Qingcao was really bored, called her to join the homework troops.
But Ye Qingcao refused, "I’ll pass, I’ll do it tomorrow night when I get back to school. You know me, I’m the type to cram at the last minute."
Huo Feng waved her off, agreeing with her outright, "Fine, just go chat with Yan Ji quietly, just don’t get in the way of me and Sangzhi."
Ye Qingcao pursed her lips and without another word, pulled the quilt over her body, strictly barring herself from seeing their affectionate display!
Seeing Ye Qingcao dodge and flinch that way, Huo Feng laughed, "Xiaocao, if you’re feeling lonely, you should make your move on Yan Ji sooner! Brother isn’t scaring you; Yan Ji is premium goods, and if you don’t make a move, you’re just giving others a chance. Wait until one day he’s snatched away, and you’ll be completely out of luck!"
At these words, Ye Qingcao immediately threw off the quilt, turned her head, and stared nervously at Huo Feng, "Brother Feng? Why would you say something like that? Does he have a new ambiguous interest around him lately?"
"You also know it’s ’another’ huh..."
Huo Feng teased her with a smile, "He’s not like me, Huo Feng, who’s so dedicated and picky. He’s open to anyone. Just think about the last time with Pufferfish Girl; he could even handle her! He’s very fickle! Just judging by his taste which is anything but picky, you still stand a chance!"
Ye Qingcao no longer believed Huo Feng’s words at this point, "He’s not fickle at all! I’m not talking to you anymore. You’ve known him for so long and still don’t understand him. Humph!"
After speaking, Ye Qingcao turned her head and huffily covered her own head with the blanket.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng could tell she was a bit annoyed, and when it came to Yan Siyuan, it was like touching her raw nerve. Others could neither speak ill of nor curse him; they could only praise him.
Thus, Pu Sangzhi could only agree with Huo Feng, "Don’t bully Xiaocao, hurry up and tutor me, isn’t the monthly test next week aiming for the top 10?"
Huo Feng nodded, "Hurry and tutor me. I must make progress this examination. Otherwise, our homeroom teacher is going to blacklist me. You have no idea, I didn’t go to Hangzhou for the competition last time, and our homeroom teacher punished me for a whole week! Scolded me three times! Aye, it really is deep love, tough love!"
Pu Sangzhi frowned upon hearing this, "Serves you right. It’s your own fault for not taking the test."
Huo Feng pointed a finger at her, implying: You.
Pu Sangzhi grabbed his finger and pushed it down, "It has nothing to do with me. I’ve always told you to take the exam, but you didn’t go. Don’t blame me for that."
Huo Feng then said, "Don’t you know that I study all for your sake?"
Pu Sangzhi kept a straight face, "I have always told you, you’re studying for yourself. Because, even if you rank second in our grade, it has nothing to do with me."
Huo Feng continued, "How can it not matter? If I can’t get into Tsinghua, won’t you be without a boyfriend in the future? You want a boyfriend, how else are you going to get married? Do you want to be a spinster for life?"
Pu Sangzhi was immediately annoyed by his words, took a deep breath, and glared at him with a frown, "Stop talking nonsense and tutor!"
Huo Feng chuckled and tugged at her sleeve, asking, "When are you coming back to school? When will you go back to stay at your home? I’m looking forward to returning to the old days..."
Returning to the old days...
These few words caused Pu Sangzhi to lose focus momentarily.
Only after several seconds did she come back to her senses, "We’ll see, let’s focus on tutoring first."
Huo Feng then asked, "Are you coming to the monthly test next week? If you don’t come, the first place in our section might change hands. Come on!"
Pu Sangzhi flipped a page of the test paper and said, "I’ll think about it."
Huo Feng kept egging her on, "Come on, let’s fight side by side. It’s safe now anyway, the heat has died down. Han Feiyi is coming back this week to attend classes normally, so you should too."
Pu Sangzhi indifferently replied without even lifting her eyes, "Her coming back has nothing to do with me."
Huo Feng said, "Now her reputation has tanked on campus. Rest assured, she’s the one who really can’t hold her head up. However, I didn’t expect the school to not take any action against her."
Pu Sangzhi asked, "Why would they take action against her?"
Speaking of which, Pu Sangzhi still didn’t know about Han Feiyi’s collusion with those three to betray her.
No one had told her about it, not even Huo Feng.
But now that she had asked, Huo Feng simply took a few minutes to tell her all the dirty things Han Feiyi had done at school.
Only then did Pu Sangzhi understand the whole story, realizing how dark and malicious Han Feiyi’s heart was!
Meeting a student like Han Feiyi was truly a first for Pu Sangzhi in her life.
She thought, perhaps the only shortcoming in her warm and wonderful high school life was being disliked by Han Feiyi!
After all, being disliked by someone with no moral bottom line meant trouble could brew at any moment without warning.
"I originally thought, with this kind of news spreading throughout the school, the authorities would definitely intervene, at the very least issue some kind of punishment."
Huo Feng spread his hands and said, "But after the incident, she just took a week off from classes. Just one week, and she was back attending classes again. Turns out having the principal as her dad really does work!"
Pu Sangzhi suddenly thought of the whole situation, "I get it now... she was the one who sold out my information to those people first, leading them to create a scene in the school, and then, the principal called me, telling me about the incident. At that time, I thought I was a jinx and wanted to transfer and leave... So, she probably just wanted me to transfer out."
Huo Feng jumped in, "I heard... just a rumor though, that she acted in front of the school leaders as if she was threatened and intimidated by those people, and that’s why she had to divulge your information. Apparently, the leaders considered that she did it under threat and since what she told wasn’t false, they didn’t charge her with any crime. In fact, it was not those people who threatened her; she did it on purpose! Isn’t she just super cunning?"
Huo Feng had gone out of his way to ask Huo Mingshan about this...
Huo Mingshan also found out after inquiring around that Han Feiyi had played the victim in front of the school principal, claiming she was threatened by debt collectors, and that’s how she leaked Pu Sangzhi’s information.
The principal believed her...
After that, Han Feiyi faced no punishment and safely escaped a misfortune.
But the incident did leave some aftermath...
Many students began to look down on Han Feiyi’s character. It’s likely that her school life from then on would be difficult...
Pu Sangzhi nodded upon hearing this, "She really is cunning. I can’t outplay her..."
Huo Feng smiled, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll teach you how to outplay her. As long as you’re a bit cunning too..."
Pu Sangzhi refused, "I won’t play her games. She turned bitter because of love, and the root cause is you, so please deal with your messy love life, okay!"
Who can resist the charm of Huo Feng...
