Chapter 663: Chapter 663

Huo Feng didn’t know whether her words at this moment were truths told drunkenly or just meaningless drunk babble.

But regardless of her intentions, Huo Feng felt hurt...

In that instant, as he watched her stagger forward, Huo Feng’s feet felt as though they were filled with lead, too heavy to follow her steps.

He thought about how he had worked so hard for three years to get into Tsinghua, immersing himself in studies every day, giving up time with friends, games, and a life of pleasure, almost turning himself silly with learning...

Even during these few days of summer vacation, he had been preoccupied with grades, terrified that he wouldn’t get into Tsinghua.

And now, he suddenly heard her say such words?

He couldn’t understand.

Suddenly, about 5 meters ahead, Pu Sangzhi fell to the ground.

It was the sight of her fall that snapped Huo Feng out of his daze. The next moment, he was taking long strides towards her, frantically helping her up.

"Don’t touch me, don’t touch me!"

Pu Sangzhi was still acting drunk and kept swatting at him with her hands, her eyebrows furrowed as if she found him particularly annoying.

"You really are crazy! You really are!"

Huo Feng grew angry as well, unable to help but scold her, yet his hands were deftly lifting her up, "Are you drunk or sober? Make yourself clear! What did you mean by what you said just now?"

He gripped Pu Sangzhi’s shoulders, shaking her excitedly, desperate for her to sober up and explain the meaning of the hurtful words she had just uttered.

But Pu Sangzhi kept busily pushing against his chest, "Don’t touch me, I told you not to touch me! You’re really annoying, I want to go home!"

Her eyes were half-closed in confusion, and even though Huo Feng was right in front of her, it was as if she couldn’t recognize him.

Or perhaps she did recognize him, but the words she spoke were uncertain if they were meant for him...

Seeing her disheveled appearance, Huo Feng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, turning his back to her and preparing to carry her once again.

However, Pu Sangzhi was stubborn, punching his back with clenched fists and flailing her legs, refusing to let him carry her!

It had been the same before.

Previously, when Huo Feng had tried to carry her, she had instead kicked him over.

And now was no different.

With her lack of cooperation, Huo Feng couldn’t force her to let him carry her.

After much effort to get her onto his back, she had even bitten him on the shoulder! She was utterly uncooperative!

So, after several minutes of struggle...

In the end, Huo Feng gave up for the second time!

Thus, he could only let her walk on her own.

Then, he followed closely behind, watching her wobbling figure with great anxiety.

"I think my house is in this direction... it looks kind of right but also not quite..."

"Uh... where is my house?"

Pu Sangzhi walked on, growing more confused, and suddenly stopped at a certain point in her path, muttering to herself in this manner.

Huo Feng was speechless; he pointed forward and said with irritation, "Just walk ahead!"

He was still upset about the drunken words Pu Sangzhi had said earlier.

Because he couldn’t get an explanation, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

After a few minutes of brewing, coupled with her various uncooperative antics, Huo Feng had also bottled up a bellyful of anger, but he couldn’t vent it on her, which frustrated him immensely!

Pu Sangzhi walked on groggily, her body swaying, clearly too drunk to be lucid.

Somehow possessing the strength to walk a long distance, she continued on, shouting and ranting like a lunatic!

"Why is this so annoying..."

"Why are there so many things..."

"How come I can’t ever have a few peaceful days? I can’t do whatever I want, there’s no freedom at all..."

Suddenly, Pu Sangzhi hugged a streetlamp pole and, out of nowhere, began to scream loudly.

"Hey, what are you doing now?"

Huo Feng walked up with sheer disbelief, staring at her as she clung to the light post, "Do you always turn into this foolish state when you’re drunk? Is this your second personality?"

Pu Sangzhi suddenly yelled at him, startling Huo Feng into blinking and involuntarily shrinking back.

"Why are you following me silently!" Orıginal content can be found at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

She yelled at him with a questioning tone, her little eyes filled with anger and reproach, staring him down.

"Because I was angry!"

Huo Feng shot back at her without pulling any punches.

"What are you angry about! What right do you have to be angry with me! You’re not anyone to me!" Pu Sangzhi yelled back just as unabashedly, her voice resonant and loud.

But those words, they really hurt to hear!

Huo Feng’s brows knitted tighter as his eyes dimmed slightly, feeling both suffocated and pained in his chest, which was very uncomfortable!

"Stop meddling in my business, just go back to your own home! I knew it, I shouldn’t have gone soft on you at the start, Damn Huo Feng! You’re dead rubber band that can’t be shaken off! You’re infuriating me to death!" Pu Sangzhi screamed at him.

After her outburst, she clung tightly to the lamppost with both arms, her eyes looking down at the ground, her lips pursed high as if she had been wronged...

Huo Feng was rendered speechless by her.

At this moment, the discomfort in his heart was indescribable, leaving him without even the energy to argue with her.

Turning around, Huo Feng sat down on the curb, motionless and silent, head bowed, the gaze in his eyes sad as they fixed on the ground.

The warm yellow light of the lamp cast upon them both, but couldn’t illuminate the chilly atmosphere between them. The air seemed to be laden with a depressing heaviness, as if a giant hand was squeezing his heart hard, giving Huo Feng a feeling of breathlessness...

Pu Sangzhi looked lost as she stared into the void for a while, holding onto the lamp post before her mood slowly dipped...

She gradually let go and slid inch by inch until she was sitting on the ground.

Huo Feng glanced at her, his bright pupils shimmering with light, his eyes as if they contained thousands of stars, yet his emotions remained unfathomable.

Pu Sangzhi suddenly let out a sob...

Unexpectedly, after a few sobs, she suddenly started crying.

Still clinging to the lamppost, still looking the picture of being wronged, yet when she started to cry, it was evident that the sense of injustice she felt was real.

Huo Feng sat silently, looking helplessly at her as her emotions fluctuated wildly.

He pursed his lips, holding back for a long while, before he managed to speak with difficulty, "Why are you crying? You’re making me sad..."

Pu Sangzhi’s crying intensified, her tears streaming down uncontrollably, her body shaking as if her world was falling apart.

"I just keep thinking... thinking about those people who can’t bear to lose Huo Feng... and it makes me upset, wuwu..."

Pu Sangzhi, with her tiny face smeared with tears, raised her hand to wipe it, her lips drooping, crying pitifully, "I think about giving Huo Feng back to them... I want Huo Feng to go back, to go with them... but it makes me so sad to think about it, wuwu..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Feng’s dark pupils contracted sharply, as if he heard something surprising...

"He shouldn’t have taken the Tsinghua exams with me... Why would he do that for me... So many people, so many brothers are waiting for him... Everyone needs him, can’t bear to lose him, everyone is so good to him... he shouldn’t... shouldn’t keep sticking to me wuwu... I wasn’t nice to him! I was always so terrible, I don’t need him at all... Why did he have to follow me... wuwuwu..."

Pu Sangzhi cried louder, her body curling up under the streetlight, looking utterly forlorn.

As Huo Feng watched her cry, listened to her hysterical speech, her words that came from the heart...

His eyes reddened slightly, a tinge of sorrow at the tip of his nose, a surge of warmth rushed to his head, stirring his heart...

He watched her unblinkingly, his eyes with traces of redness, brimming with unyielding tenderness.

Huo Feng took a deep breath, summoning great effort to muster the Courage to ask, "Do you really not need me?"

Pu Sangzhi, gasping between sobs, seemed not to have heard his question, and continued to cry and speak on her own, "I’m just too selfish... It’s all my fault, wuwu... It’s all me... Just thinking about how I liked him, only caring about myself... But there are so many others who like him... So many... Each one is better than me... What am I, really, wuwu..."

Her words made Huo Feng’s reddened eyes twitch, and the next second, he burst into a smile, lifting his head and taking a deep breath...

He found that he couldn’t stay mad at her.

No matter what harsh, heartless, or hurtful remarks she had made before...

As long as she uttered the words ’I like him,’ nothing else seemed to matter.

Huo Feng wasn’t asking for much, not seeking her gentle treatment, not asking for her devotion, not asking her to give up for him or sacrifice for him, only wanting her to like him.

As long as she liked him, he would carry all the sacrifices and efforts.

Huo Feng’s heart softened like spring water, he dropped his pride, stepped forward slowly, and began to soothe her with a gentle voice, "Alright, stop crying..."

As he spoke, he gently pulled her hands away from the lamppost and wrapped them around his neck, and in case she didn’t recognize it was him, he whispered softly, "I’m Huo Feng, Huo Feng is here..."

"I know you’re Huo Feng, wuwu..."

This time Pu Sangzhi didn’t resist him, instead she wrapped her arms around his neck, crying and burying her tearful half-face into his shoulder, "I’m so sad, Huo Feng, wuwu..."

"Don’t be sad, what’s there to be sad about... Nothing has fallen from the sky..."

Huo Feng patted her shoulder gently with one hand, while his other hand softly caressed her tear-streaked face.

Bowing his head, his lips gently touched her forehead, the tip of his nose, kissing and comforting her, "So many people like Huo Feng, but Huo Feng only likes you..."

Then, Pu Sangzhi’s cries were muffled by the lips that covered hers.

His tongue skillfully invaded, capturing the fortress...
