Chapter 628: Chapter 628

No matter how much Yan Siyuan asked, Huo Feng just wouldn’t tell him the reason for his injury.

To let Yan Siyuan know that Huo Feng had been seriously injured by Pu Sangzhi’s rival, which is to say, his own suitor, who threw sulfuric acid at him!

Yan Siyuan, who had a ’harem’ of three thousand ’beauties’, would definitely laugh at Huo Feng for not even being able to handle such a minor pursuer!

In any case, because of pride and other reasons combined, Huo Feng just refused to say.

Yan Siyuan tried to fish for the information, but seeing that Huo Feng wasn’t taking the bait, he simply stopped asking.

Afterward, the two of them chatted for a while on the topic of ’code monkeys’.

Yan Siyuan told Huo Feng that he now could create mini programs by himself, and he even boasted about the app he had developed.

Yan Siyuan had actually made a decent piece of software whose main function was to forcibly close other apps on the phone and lock one application. And during the lockdown period, no matter what you did, you couldn’t open any other apps on the phone.

Such a lockdown was primarily for those who needed to focus on their work on their phones and to avoid procrastination and distractions.

For Yan Siyuan, it was to lock his phone and prevent his younger brothers and sisters from playing with it too much.

Huo Feng and he had pooled money together to buy the course and had attended classes together. Who would have thought that now Yan Siyuan was thriving in his learning, while Huo Feng had only taken the basic course...

Seeing Yan Siyuan so capable and himself so incompetent, Huo Feng felt very uncomfortable.

However, Huo Feng later realized that Yan Siyuan was the kind of guy who didn’t need to study!

Whereas he, Huo Feng, was now heavily burdened by his studies!

Comforting himself , Huo Feng felt much more balanced in his heart.

Latter, as they chatted, Yan Siyuan suddenly asked Huo Feng, "How long will it take for your injury to heal? When can you be discharged from the hospital?"

Huo Feng thought for a moment and estimated, "Probably a bit more than half a month, or a month, or maybe even less than half a month! Actually, I don’t know, my doctor said it depends on how it heals."

Yan Siyuan nodded, "Just a reminder, your birthday is coming up."

This reminder indeed woke Huo Feng up, his eyes snapping open wide, "That’s true! In a little over a month, it’s here! I need to get out of here sooner, for such a big day, I must stir up some excitement!"

Yan Siyuan smiled, "I’ll take you out for a meal."

Huo Feng flatly rejected him, "Is a birthday this important supposed to be spent with you? I want to spend it with Sangzhi! I have to plan well, I must get a French kiss from her!"

Thinking about this, Huo Feng instantly showed a thirsty expression.

Seeing his hopeless look, Yan Siyuan’s eyes filled with disdain, "Mind the child."

Huo Feng said "Oh" softly, then sneakily turned his head to glance at Pu Sangzhi in the corner.

Seeing that she was lying down with her back to them, not moving at all, Huo Feng knew she must be asleep.

"Yan Ji, do me a favor."

So, Huo Feng turned his head back to Yan Siyuan, "My birthday is November 3rd. Find an opportunity to slip this information to her, so she finds out incidentally!"

Yan Siyuan asked, "Then what?"

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, a face alight with excitement and joy, "Then, I can just wait for her to bring it up herself! With any luck, there might be a surprise!"

Yan Siyuan scoffed, unable to hide his disdain for Huo Feng, "No dignity."

Huo Feng said, "Are you going to help or not? Just one word!"

Yan Siyuan replied, "Oh."

Huo Feng grinned, "Yan Ji, you’re actually quite loyal! The key is you even remember my birthday, which makes me a little touched!"

Yan Siyuan couldn’t help but remind him, "Who is constantly sharing superstitious posts about Scorpios on his Moments? It’s hard not to remember with all that spam."

Huo Feng laughed out loud, proud, "That’s right~ I have to frequently show off the personality traits of us good Scorpio men! At the very least, I have to let Pu Sangzhi know how compatible my Scorpio is with her Virgo!"

Yan Siyuan rolled his eyes at his words, speechless.

"Yan Ji, get me a present," Huo Feng chin-nudged Yan Siyuan, hinting with a raised eyebrow.

Yan Siyuan rejected him, "No, you’re not my girlfriend."

Huo Feng declared righteously, "But I’m your boyfriend!"

Yan Siyuan’s brows immediately furrowed, feeling as though something called ’values’... had shattered!

Huo Feng stretched out his hand, tugging at Yan Siyuan’s sleeve, "Remember the gift, okay? Don’t forget that I sent you a red packet on your birthday. As a rich second generation, you have to give me a gift worth more than what I sent you."

Yan Siyuan’s brows furrowed even more, "Stop it, I’m poor."

Huo Feng retorted, "Stop it, I don’t believe you."

Sometimes, Yan Siyuan really didn’t know how Huo Feng developed such thick skin?

Asking someone for gifts so brazenly, even demanding a specified price range, and not finding it embarrassing to say out loud?

Anyway, Yan Siyuan couldn’t do such a thing, nor could he say such things. He just couldn’t be that shameless.

Huo Feng held up two fingers, reminding him, "Two things. One, remind Sangzhi that my birthday is coming up. Two, prepare a birthday gift for me, remember to put your heart into it!"

Yan Siyuan had no desire to remember.

However, his photographic memory made it impossible for him not to remember...

The next day was Sunday.

At 8 a.m. sharp, Pu Sangzhi started to review with Huo Feng and handed over the key notes she had made over the week.

She estimated that Huo Feng, who might be hospitalized for a while longer, could miss the midterm exam.

Therefore, she arranged a hefty study plan for him first thing in the morning!

Huo Feng, in high spirits, treated every part of the plan she arranged with utter seriousness, nodding his head in agreement to every task, ready to tackle it!

It could be said that aside from essay writing, Huo Feng accepted every other study task with great enthusiasm!

But when it came to the three high-quality essays per week that Pu Sangzhi assigned, it gave Huo Feng a real headache!

He even started to doubt, is writing three essays a week really helpful? Could it actually improve his essay-writing skills?

After all, unlike other subjects, the quality of an essay and whether there is improvement can’t simply be judged with a test paper.

As for whether there’s improvement in essay writing...

Well, Huo Feng couldn’t see it!

He believed that every essay he wrote was of high quality; at the very least, each was the result of him racking his brains!

But in Pu Sangzhi’s eyes, they were all subpar...

Having finally arranged Huo Feng’s detailed study plan for the following week, Pu Sangzhi pushed the plan over to him and said, "Next week, just follow this plan to study. I’ll come over next Saturday to check on your progress."

Huo Feng took it and nodded, readily agreeing, "Okay."

"This term is also full of tasks."

Pu Sangzhi said, "I’ve mentioned before, my requirement for you this term is to improve to the second in your class. Your grades have slipped in the monthly test, and you might even miss the midterm. Therefore, this term your only opportunities for big exams are the second monthly test and the final exam. In addition, there are three required exams in January, and you must score an A in each. I have high expectations for you, so you must buckle down."

Huo Feng nodded mechanically, "Okay."

Pu Sangzhi then added, "Also, when you have time, take a closer look at your essays, they’re especially dragging your grade down."

Huo Feng asked, "You mean they are boosting my overall score?"

Pu Sangzhi said, "They’re dragging down your overall score!"

Huo Feng closed his mouth in understanding, "Oh..."

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him and couldn’t help muttering, "Essays shouldn’t just focus on flowery language. The most important thing about a high-scoring essay is its central content. Just as a person should not only have good looks but also substance. You’re like someone who lacks substance. Out of 100, you can only score 70."

Huo Feng said, "So, does Yan Ji write high-scoring essays?"

Pu Sangzhi thought for a while, "Yes. He can score at least 95 points."

I knew it, Pu Sangzhi likes men like Yan Ji!

Outstanding people always seek equally outstanding partners!

So that’s why Huo Feng dreamt that she had been snatched away by Yan Ji!

Taking a deep breath, Huo Feng puffed out his cheeks, no longer wanting to talk to Pu Sangzhi.

Right at that moment, Yan Siyuan, the uninvited guest, came into the ward with a basket of fruit, interrupting their review session...

Upon seeing Yan Siyuan, Huo Feng’s eyes narrowed into slits, "Yan Ji, you’re just in time, I was just thinking about beating you up!"

Yan Siyuan walked into the ward unhurriedly, giving him a cool look, "Are you sick?"

Huo Feng pointed at Pu Sangzhi and said, "My girlfriend here says you’re a 95-point man, and I’m a 70-point man. Don’t you think you deserve a beating?"

Yan Siyuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Facts."

Then, Pu Sangzhi spoke up in protest, "It’s not a fact. What I just evaluated was only in terms of academics and appearance. If you add personality, character, and interpersonal skills, then Huo Feng is a 99-point man."

Huo Feng clapped in delight, but the motion was too wild, pulling at the wound on his back, and he let out a pained cry, his face contorting.

Concerned, Pu Sangzhi held him steady, and only when she saw his expression relax did she dare to ask, "Are you okay? Should we call the doctor?"

Huo Feng waved his hand lightly, "No need, a kiss from you is more effective than anything else."

Pu Sangzhi glanced dismissively at him, not wanting to entertain the idea.

However, because Yan Siyuan was sitting on the side, Pu Sangzhi still responded to Huo Feng, "If it doesn’t hurt, stop joking and wasting others’ concern."

Huo Feng asked, "Are you worried about me?"

Huo Feng chuckled contentedly, his mood immediately lifted, and he even boasted to Yan Siyuan, "Yan Ji, how do you like the taste of dog food?"

The corner of Yan Siyuan’s mouth twitched. He didn’t want to talk, and even less did he want to stay in the room any longer.

Actually, if it hadn’t been for Huo Feng’s hint to find a chance to imply something to Pu Sangzhi, Yan Siyuan wouldn’t have bothered coming today.

Seeing Huo Feng’s cocky reaction now, Yan Siyuan felt he might have made a mistake coming here...

Huo Feng, the guy... was just too annoying!
