Chapter 645: Chapter 645
Huo Feng secured the second highest score in their class, not only earning glory for himself but also giving their homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu a chance to beam with pride!
The day the list of top students was announced, Zheng Qiu held a class meeting.
During the meeting, in front of all the classmates, Zheng Qiu rehashed the time when Huo Feng was once ranked over 600 in the grade.
Taking his positive influence as an example, she encouraged everyone to learn from Huo Feng!
Experiences of being singled out for praise were nothing new to Huo Feng, but each time it happened, it still thrilled him to no end!
Besides that, at this class meeting, the homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu also announced a big school event—the school was planning to clear North Gate Grove and build a new functional teaching building!
"During the winter break, the school will start to construct in North Gate Grove. Let’s close the door and have a chat, students. I know that many of you like to meet up, hold hands, and do some things in North Gate Grove that aren’t allowed by school rules. Now that it’s going to be torn down, if any of you still cherish memories of the place, you might want to go there one last time after the meeting."
As Zheng Qiu said this, she had a smile on her face with a tinge of sadness.
The topic of puppy love is a favorite among the students, and hearing the homeroom teacher bring it up, everyone laughed, full of amusement. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
Below, Huo Feng, Pan Bo, Lin Yuhao, and Gu Yang were quietly discussing the demolition of North Gate Grove.
Actually, North Gate Grove could be considered the school’s confession hotspot.
The romantic atmosphere there was only just a tad less potent than the sports field and gymnasium...
Although that place held some dark memories for Huo Feng...
For Lin Yuhao, however, it was where romance and happiness began.
Lin Yuhao consequently requested from Huo Feng, "Bro Feng, after the meeting, why don’t you guys go sing first? I want to take Xiaonuan for a walk in North Gate Grove, we have a lot of memories there."
"Approved, approved, go take a stroll with your little auntie," Huo Feng said, waving his hand, then said to the others, "Anyone who wants to visit, go ahead now. Let these unattached loners go and book the private room, and the rest who want to visit can do so! I’m going to find Sangzhi and take a walk there too, later on."
Pan Bo patted Huo Feng’s hand, "Bro Feng, you should take the department head with you. Have you forgotten the sweet memories you left there with him?"
"Dude!" Huo Feng retorted as he smacked Pan Bo’s head, "Sweet? You must think it was quite a show!"
Pan Bo covered his mouth and snickered, "I’ll probably remember that scene for the rest of my life..."
After Pan Bo’s reminder, Lin Yuhao and Gu Yang both recalled the incident between Huo Feng and his father at North Gate Grove!
On a sunny afternoon, the slick and polished Bro Feng was stood up by Pu Sangzhi at North Gate Grove, only to be confronted by their angry fathers wielding sticks!
Upon remembering this, Gu Yang and Lin Yuhao couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Their laughter was nothing short of blatant mockery!
Huo Feng glared, "What’s so funny about that? It’s all water under the bridge, what’s there to laugh at?"
"Alright, everyone quiet down..."
Luckily, the homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu spoke in time, silencing the brothers’ merciless laughter and recapturing the attention of the whole class.
"As for you guys, you only have a year and a half left at our school. Once North Gate Grove is demolished, the new building will have nothing to do with you—it’ll serve future generations. However, there’s one thing I need to convey to you all."
Zheng Qiu spoke earnestly, "The proposal for the new teaching building was initiated by our senior high school’s guidance director, Teacher Huo, who received the school’s approval. Teacher Huo has personally d 900,000 yuan to support the construction of the new teaching building. Teacher Huo is a meritorious figure at our school and a veteran teacher; all faculty and students should respect him. So from today onwards, our classmates should not point fingers or especially mock Teacher Huo’s head, is that understood by everyone?"
"Understood!" the entire class replied loudly.
Of course, this ’entire class’ excluded a certain someone...
"Winter break is about to start, and when you guys go back, don’t just focus on having fun, make sure to complete all your homework! The upcoming semester is very important, everyone has to stay focused and not slack off in your studies..."
While the homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu continued to speak highfalutin phrases at the podium, the students were listening while whispering among themselves, discussing the guidance director Teacher Huo’s personal donation of 900,000 yuan for the school building.
At this moment, the classroom was bustling with noise, but Huo Feng’s world was silent...
Perhaps the entire class was unaware that at this moment, in Huo Feng’s mind, he felt like he had plunged off a cliff into an abyss...
Huo Feng was completely stunned.
He stared blankly ahead, so deafened he couldn’t hear anything around him, yet he could hear the sentence that Zheng Qiu had just uttered in his head: ’Teacher Huo has personally d 900,000 yuan to support the construction of the new teaching building’...
’Teacher Huo has personally d 900,000 yuan’...
’Personally d 900,000 yuan to the school’...
When his belated realization finally hit him, it was as if lightning had struck directly above his head!
His world shattered with a crackling sound, breaking Huo Feng into pieces!
All of a sudden, Huo Feng collapsed onto the desk, face down, knocking his nose!
A particularly loud sound caught the attention of the whole class and teachers...
"What’s up with Huo Feng?" asked the homeroom teacher, Zheng Qiu.
With a knee-rubbing and giggling response, Pan Bo answered, "Nothing, just messing around!"
Homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu: "Okay, then let’s end the meeting here. I wish everyone a happy winter vacation!"
With that said, the class began to disperse.
Students got up one after another, slowly exiting the classroom.
The freedom of winter vacation was calling to them.
Pan Bo nudged Huo Feng with his elbow, "Bro Feng, let’s go, time to sing!"
Huo Feng remained unmoved...
Pan Bo: "Bro Feng, stop messing around. What are you doing?"
Pan Bo: "Bro Feng? Asleep already?"
Pan Bo forcefully rolled him over: "Bro Feng ah..."
Pan Bo: "Oh no! Bro Feng’s eyes are rolling back!"
...15 minutes later...
When Huo Feng came to, the 10 brothers couldn’t hold him back any longer.
He charged out of the classroom like a mad bull, knocking over chairs and desks, and even making the classroom door swing back and forth in his wake...
Such a blusterous exit...
His brothers were all stupefied!
Without a doubt, Huo Feng was racing off to find Huo Mingshan!
With his sprint function activated, Huo Feng’s long legs kicked high and wide, running as if geared up with a high-powered engine, practically reaching the speed of an athletic meet!
At this moment, though he appeared as steady as an old dog on the outside, on the inside, his world was in total disarray!
900,000 yuan! Dammit, 900,000 yuan!
It was obvious, even to his feet, that it was the 900,000 yuan he, Huo Feng, had earned with his life!
That damn Huo! That waste! That... beast!
To think he would touch Huo Feng’s 1 million yuan! To 900,000 yuan to the school! Was his brain filled with holes?!
When he saw him, he’d pin him down and beat the life out of him!
Explode on the spot and die together!
...2 minutes later...
Inside the teachers’ office, Huo Feng’s eyes were dull, his mouth agape, his face vacant, as he was held by the hand by Han Guobang...
"Ah, Huo Feng, my child, your magnanimity has deeply moved me."
Han Guobang treated Huo Feng with the respect due an adult...
And there he was, holding Huo Feng’s hand for a long, long time!
"Your father said that you completely agree with donating the 900,000 yuan to contribute to the school. It’s truly remarkable for someone your age to have such a generous charitable spirit!"
Han Guobang heavily praised Huo Feng’s righteousness, and even said to the few senior school officials standing behind him, "You may not know yet, but Huo Feng is the son of Teacher Huo."
The few senior school officials in front of him were stunned...
Turns out, they really didn’t know that Huo Feng was Huo Mingshan’s son!
"Teacher Huo is truly blessed now."
Han Guobang also praised Huo Mingshan, "Huo Feng has become sensible and understands the greater good. For this term’s final exams, he even got second place in the whole grade! Impressive, huh?"
The senior school officials applauded one after another, unanimously praising, "Oh my, Teacher Huo is blessed! A son who’s tall, handsome, and smart!"
"Congratulations to Teacher Huo."
Huo Mingshan, standing in front of the group of men, puffed out his chest with a proud smile!
But Huo Feng still had that dumbfounded look with his mouth hanging open...
