Chapter 675: Chapter 675

When Pu Sangzhi arrived in Class 7, the students there looked up at her as if they were gazing at a deity!

After all, the news that Pu Sangzhi had ranked first in the province had already spread widely throughout the school.

That year, the fact that she was the top student in the city’s middle school exams and entered Longxiang School had also been extensively promoted by her classmates today.

Having a student among them who was first in the city’s middle school exam and first in the province’s college entrance exam undoubtedly carried an aura of divinity.

When the Class 7 students and the class teacher Zheng Qiu saw Pu Sangzhi, their expressions were both polite and respectful.

The class teacher Zheng Qiu greeted her with a smile, "Sangzhi, are you here to find Huo Feng? There he is."

Zheng Qiu pointed her to a spot in the back second row of the fourth group where Huo Feng was hunched over his desk, head in hands, looking deep in thought and seemingly distressed, listless.

"Thank you, teacher."

Pu Sangzhi thanked Zheng Qiu and walked straight to Huo Feng with the university application form in her hand.

As she passed by Zheng Qiu, he held her wrist and whispered, "He did quite well on his own exams this time, but he’s two points short of last year’s Tsinghua cutoff. He’s feeling really down. You should talk to him soon."

She then immediately went over to Huo Feng.

His deskmate Pan Bo immediately got up when she arrived and quickly vacated his seat for her, finding another spot to sit on his own.

In the classroom, some of the students who had finished filling out their university preference forms had gone home, leaving not many behind, mostly those who were still undecided.

Pan Bo and the others had mostly finished, except for Huo Feng, who was still struggling to decide. The group was waiting for Huo Feng’s decision.

With the arrival of Pu Sangzhi, Pan Bo knew that Brother Feng’s problem would definitely be solved!

Pan Bo led the other few to different seats, leaving plenty of space in the back row of the fourth group for the two of them.

Pu Sangzhi sat down next to Huo Feng, her eyes filled with empathy as she cautiously said, "Where is your university preference form?"

Upon hearing her voice, Huo Feng’s heart skipped, as if it were tightly grasped by an unseen force!

He was too ashamed to face her, turning his head away to show the back of his head, displaying his reluctance to face the situation.

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and softly comforted him, "The results aren’t out yet, right? This year’s cutoff scores haven’t been announced. How do you know you won’t get in? What I told you about was only a backup plan. Maybe we both can get in."

Huo Feng didn’t respond and avoided talking.

Seeing him in this state pained Pu Sangzhi, and the classmates and teachers nearby felt distressed.

He had indeed performed very well...

A score of 698 had never before been seen at Longxiang School.

Moreover, when he initially entered school through the middle school exam, he was barely admitted on the fringe cutoff of Longxiang School.

His progress in these three years was miraculous, something many coveted but could never achieve!

Yet now, he was so troubled and distressed.

The classmates and teachers all felt helpless.

Feeling too many eyes on them, Pu Sangzhi, wanting to preserve his dignity, lightly touched his arm and asked, "Shall we go outside to talk? I’ll wait for you outside first. If you don’t come out in two minutes, I’ll come back in to find you."

Having said that, Pu Sangzhi stood up and quickly walked out the classroom door.

After she left, Huo Feng finally lifted his head from his arms and faced the empty space in front of him, sighing deeply...

Nevertheless, he obediently got up and left under the watchful eyes of the entire class and teachers...

Exiting the classroom, Huo Feng walked toward the end of the corridor because Pu Sangzhi was waiting for him there.

He tucked his hands into his pockets and slightly raised his chin, trying his best to approach her in the coolest and most dashing manner, not wanting to appear too weak or too much of a failure in front of her, despite feeling like a failure...

Huo Feng cut her off before she could continue, quickly concluding, "You don’t have to persuade me, I won’t accept your suggestion."

"If you don’t accept my suggestion, then you can fill in Zhejiang University as your second choice yourself."

Pu Sangzhi also said seriously, "The computer science program at Zhejiang University is indeed very good. Otherwise, Yan Siyuan wouldn’t have chosen it over Tsinghua. His decision won’t be wrong. He’s a meticulous person."

Huo Feng furrowed his brows irritably, "I want to stay in Beijing. I don’t want to be so far from you! I also don’t want you to miss out on Tsinghua because of me! There’s no room for discussion on this issue!"

Saying this, Huo Feng turned to leave, showing no desire to continue the conversation.

Pu Sangzhi quickly grabbed his arm, urgently saying, "Huo Feng, should you always be the only one to change your life for me? Can’t I change once for you? Tsinghua is my demand on you, which is clearly selfish, yet you’ve never objected. You’ve done your best, taken 99 steps. All that’s left is for me to take the final step towards you. There’s nothing wrong with that!"

"It just isn’t right!"

Huo Feng turned around, shook off her hand, and suddenly exploded in emotion, screaming at her, "Who told you to give up Tsinghua! Are you crazy? Giving up Tsinghua for a guy with the top score in the province! You want me to be a drag on you? I’m telling you, if you really give up Tsinghua for Zhejiang University, we’re breaking up!"

She never imagined that one day the words "we’re breaking up" would come from his mouth.

Pu Sangzhi had not expected him to get angry, nor had she expected him to outright say they should break up...

Once he did both, Pu Sangzhi was instantly stunned!

At that moment, her expression froze.

The weather in June, yet a chill emerged inside her, making her feel as though she was in the bitter cold of winter...

Huo Feng, the one who quickly blurted out those words, regretted them the next second, "What I mean is... you can’t give up on Tsinghua. You’ve always wanted to go to Tsinghua, how could you give up for my sake?"

Huo Feng felt both anxious and distressed, his eyebrows knitted tightly together. Yet, he dared not get angry at her again, because from her eyes, he saw shock...

"Sorry, just now, I lost control of my emotions..."

Huo Feng took a deep breath, his hand carefully moving through the air, wanting to touch her but also afraid to, "I just don’t want you to settle for less because of me. I, Huo Feng, it’s all the same what I study. It’s just that not seeing you or being far from you makes me uneasy... My achievements are all because of your help, your motivation for me. I lack self-discipline, and all my efforts are because of you. I’m just afraid that if I’m not close to you, I’ll return to living the aimless life I had in junior high... So..."

"So, I can go to Zhejiang University with you."

Pu Sangzhi cut him off, her dark eyes staring intently at him, "If we can’t go to Tsinghua together, we’ll go to Zhejiang University together. For the four years of university, I will continue to encourage you and motivate you, so you can join me in applying for graduate studies at Tsinghua. I can’t give up on you, nor do I want to leave you. Do you think my feelings for you are just that shallow? Huo Feng..."

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, her pupils slightly red, "I really like you, so much so that I don’t even know the extent of it myself. All I know is that Tsinghua is less important than you."

Tsinghua, less important than him...

Those words suddenly crashed into Huo Feng’s heart with a powerful impact!

At that moment, a surge of strong emotion welled up, causing Huo Feng’s nose to sting, almost unable to hold back the sudden, intense surge of emotions. This update ıs available on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

Fearing that he would embarrass himself in front of Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng immediately reached out, pulling her into his arms and holding her tight!

Pu Sangzhi’s arms also wrapped tightly around his waist, her face deeply buried in his chest, taking a long breath of his familiar, comforting scent.

"Pu Sangzhi, you... are like a drug..."

Huo Feng’s eyes were red, his thin lips trembling slightly, "Usually you don’t say you like me... choosing today to say it... and to do something so foolish... How can I stay angry with you..."

In his arms, Pu Sangzhi tearfully chuckled, "You’re the one who’s like a drug, always complaining that I don’t treat you well. Now that I finally want to treat you well for once, you still get angry and talk about breaking up. You scared me to death... saying something like breaking up... that was too harsh..."

As she spoke, her small hands gently pounded on him a few times. Of course, the force was light because she couldn’t bear to hit him hard...

"No breaking up, over my dead body. Those were just angry words... I’m sorry..." Huo Feng apologized softly.

"Listen to me. First choice Tsinghua, second choice Zhejiang University," Pu Sangzhi said.

"Can I not listen?" Huo Feng asked.

"No way. If you don’t listen, we break up." Pu Sangzhi said.

Having said that, Huo Feng snorted with laughter, helplessly saying, "Okay, I’ll fill it out that way. But still, I’ll put Beijing Film Academy as the third choice. If I don’t get into Tsinghua, I’ll try the arts exam at the Beijing Film Academy."

Pu Sangzhi said, "No!"

Huo Feng, "I gave in to your step, can’t you give in to mine?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "No..."

Huo Feng gently stroked the back of her head, "Be good..."

After discussing, Huo Feng still filled out Zhejiang University as the second choice.

He allowed Pu Sangzhi to make sacrifices for him.

But he accepted her intentions.

He wouldn’t actually let her do something silly.

Because he liked her too...

A few days later, the admission scores for various universities were announced one after another.

Students who had completed their applications also began receiving admission emails from various universities.

Pu Sangzhi became one of the first batch of students to receive an admission email from Tsinghua, she felt neither joy nor sorrow, quietly waiting for Huo Feng.

To her great surprise...

Two days after her, Huo Feng also received an admission email!

That morning at 9 a.m., Huo Feng found the list of reduced scores for the "leading program" on Tsinghua’s official website.

Huo Feng among them had his score reduced by 10 points.

Thus, with a score of 698, he too received an admission email...

This news made Huo Feng, who was practicing singing and dancing in preparation for the arts exam, so delighted he tossed his jacket aside!

"I got into Tsinghua!"

He shouted, raising his fists in his room...
