Chapter 629: Chapter 629
Yan Siyuan didn’t stay in the hospital room for long. After chatting with Huo Feng for half an hour, he saw Pu Sangzhi waiting to tutor Huo Feng and sensibly proposed to leave.
Before he left, Huo Feng pretended to ask him to stay, and Yan Siyuan also gave Huo Feng a knowing look.
Without Pu Sangzhi realizing it, Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng were quietly arranging something for her!
"Sangzhi, see our guest out."
And just like that, Huo Feng had arranged for Pu Sangzhi to do so.
As he spoke, Pu Sangzhi wore a puzzled expression on her face, as if she doubted she’d heard correctly, "See him out?"
What she really meant to express was: Huo Feng’s mother had left, and she hadn’t gone to see her out. Was he really asking her to escort Yan Siyuan? Did he value Yan Siyuan that much?
"Just a quick send-off..."
Huo Feng urged her, pushing her along, "Be good, and pick up a bottle of yogurt for me from downstairs on your way back, okay?"
Pu Sangzhi glanced at Yan Siyuan again...
Yan Siyuan was quite something!
At this time, wouldn’t a normal guest politely decline by saying ’no need to see me out’? But there he stood, not moving an inch, as if frozen in a frame.
"Oh. I guess I will see you out..."
So in the end, Pu Sangzhi complied.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, grabbed her phone, and escorted Yan Siyuan out.
Watching the two of them leave together, Huo Feng, full of vigor back in bed, waved his hands, "Sangzhi, go and come back quickly! Don’t chat with Yan Ji, and remember to bring me yogurt!"
Hearing his bridge-burning words, Yan Siyuan felt extremely vexed.
He thought: That idiot Huo Feng, if he’s so wary of him, why bother asking for his help? Doesn’t he understand the principle of not suspecting the people you use, and not using those you suspect?
However, Yan Siyuan had some opinions about Huo Feng internally, yet he still fulfilled the favor he had promised to Huo Feng.
At that time, he and Pu Sangzhi left the hospital room together, and when they were out of Huo Feng’s sight, he said to Pu Sangzhi, "I have something for you."
"Ah?" Pu Sangzhi was immediately bewildered.
By the time she realized what was happening, Yan Siyuan had already taken a black and gold magnetic card out of his pocket and handed it to Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi hadn’t even looked at what it was, her face was filled with horror, and she directly questioned Yan Siyuan’s character, "Don’t pull this number on me, I’m not falling for it. I don’t trick of yours."
Yan Siyuan paused for a moment...
A few seconds later, he realized what Pu Sangzhi was misunderstanding.
One idiot Huo Feng...
One overly sensitive Pu Sangzhi...
Yan Siyuan wondered, how did this couple manage to go on till now?
Yan Siyuan said helplessly, "I’m just asking you to hold on to it for him."
Pu Sangzhi then looked down at the item in his hand, "What? Then why don’t you give it to him yourself?"
The heart-loyal Pu Sangzhi remained full of wariness.
"This is a practice card from the piano shop where I learn. With this card, you can rent a practice room at the shop. It’s got 5 uses left, each for 2 hours."
Yan Siyuan explained reluctantly, "I’m giving it to you. It’s perfect for you to use, isn’t Huo Feng’s birthday coming up? Put some thought into preparing for it."
Pu Sangzhi was startled, "His birthday?"
Yan Siyuan raised an eyebrow, "I casually asked him yesterday, and he blackmailed me into getting him a gift. Make sure you tell him that the value of the two-hour practice card is 250. If he feels generous and wants to buy you a piano, I can give him a discount. With the accumulations, it’s quite a substantial birthday present."
Pu Sangzhi finally took the card hesitantly and cautiously, "So, this is your birthday gift to Huo Feng?"
Yan Siyuan declared, "This card’s value already exceeds the red envelope he gave me for my birthday; make sure he knows this."
Hearing him speak, Pu Sangzhi could perfectly imagine how Huo Feng must have played the rascal with him yesterday.
It was definitely a case of brazen gift extortion — and he made sure it involved money.
That little rascal Huo Feng loved doing such things!
Pu Sangzhi could faintly sense that before long, Huo Feng would probably do the same with her...
As she pondered, Pu Sangzhi suddenly thought of something, "How do you know Huo Feng’s birthday? He hasn’t told me yet, but he’s told you first?"
Yan Siyuan sighed, "How could I not know his birthday? He’s always sharing articles about ’Scorpios are good men’ on his moments. Don’t you ever check?"
She grasped the implication in Yan Siyuan’s words: As his girlfriend, don’t you pay attention to Huo Feng?
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi felt a bit embarrassed.
Yan Siyuan shoved his hands in his pockets and spoke unhurriedly, "I’ve given you the gift. However you want to handle it is fine, after all, he falls for your charm. November 3rd, it’s a Sunday, remember that."
After learning about Huo Feng’s birthday, Pu Sangzhi started to feel slightly anxious.
After seeing Yan Siyuan off and returning to the hospital room, Pu Sangzhi carefully stored away the piano practice card from Yan Siyuan.
During the study session, while Huo Feng was fervently writing, she contemplated deeply about how she should celebrate Huo Feng’s birthday.
He didn’t even tell her his birthday was coming up!
If he doesn’t mention it, she can’t just go ahead and prepare something. That would be so thick-skinned!
Pu Sangzhi propped her head with one hand, occasionally glancing up at Huo Feng.
Huo Feng, sitting opposite her, was bent over his exam paper, putting on a thoroughly serious act!
In reality, his thoughts were... She knows, she knows! She’s already scheming! A surprise is coming!
Pu Sangzhi remained silent, her head down as she flipped through her book. Eventually, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Huo Feng nearly rolled his eyes with glee upon hearing her sigh!
He thought: It’s starting, it’s starting! This concern she has for him! Just let it build up! Keep it bottled up until his birthday! Hahaha!
Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi had lost all interest in her book.
She heaved a sigh and simply closed the book altogether.
"Sighing all the time, are you in a bad mood?"
Huo Feng looked up at her troubled expression and asked knowingly, "What’s wrong? Did Yan Ji confess to you?"
Pu Sangzhi shot him an unamused look before adding, "Hey, don’t you have something you want to say to me?"
Huo Feng said so, then followed up with, "What? Did Yan Ji really confess to you?"
Pu Sangzhi slapped the table in denial, "Yan Siyuan doesn’t have feelings for me; he clearly likes you more!"
This time, it was Huo Feng’s turn to slap the table: "Nonsense!"
"I’m not talking nonsense," Pu Sangzhi retorted.
Yan Siyuan paid extreme attention to Huo Feng’s social timeline!
Just by posting a few Scorpio articles, he had memorized Huo Feng’s birthday.
Unlike Pu Sangzhi... who never paid attention to those boring articles Huo Feng shared!
Pu Sangzhi genuinely believed Yan Siyuan liked Huo Feng! In a romantic, male-to-female sort of way!
"Hey, don’t tell me Yan Ji told you he likes me and you got jealous," Huo Feng prodded again.
His question left Pu Sangzhi’s complexion fluctuating between red and white, and she gave him an exasperated look!
"Oh, whatever Yan Ji says is just him joking around."
Huo Feng reached out to tug at her sleeve, "Don’t take Yan Ji seriously. He’s used to joking around with me, not being serious."
Pu Sangzhi pulled her arm back, "You’re not serious either. Go back to your exam, no more talking! I’ll be gone in a few hours, you should take the chance to ask me more questions!"
Huo Feng leisurely replied, "Okay."
Picking up his pen, he sneaked another glance at Pu Sangzhi, his heart leaping with joy once again!
He thought: Very good, very good! She’s playing it cool! Keep it up, keep it up! It looks like she’s going to save up a big surprise for Huo Feng! Hahaha!
After a few minutes of silence...
Pu Sangzhi turned to her side, promptly pulled out her phone, and started swiping...
Huo Feng knowingly asked her again, "Are you worried about something?"
Pu Sangzhi replied, "No."
After responding, Pu Sangzhi asked Huo Feng, "Don’t you have something you want to say to me?"
Pu Sangzhi, "Okay, say it."
Huo Feng, "I love you~"
Pu Sangzhi took a breath and waved him off, "Go on with your exam."
Huo Feng couldn’t help but smile, "I really love you, do you love me?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and told him, "Shut up."
Huo Feng, resting his chin in his hand, suddenly mused, "I think I’m becoming less satisfied now, knowing you like me, I really want to hear you say you love me~ And after kissing you, I especially want a French kiss with you~"
Pu Sangzhi frowned, "Shut up."
Huo Feng pursed his lips playfully, "It’s been a while since we kissed, how about one now?"
Pu Sangzhi patted the exam papers, her brows locked in annoyance, "Go write your exam, stop bothering me..."
Truly, it was so annoying!
Just when everything seemed to be normal, his birthday had to come up!
And he didn’t tell her! Didn’t ask her for a gift! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
So should she prepare something or not?
He knows to ask Yan Siyuan for a gift, but not her? What does that mean?
Is Yan Siyuan more important to him than she is?
