Chapter 724: Chapter 724

In the dining hall, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi were sitting side by side, each enjoying their breakfast in a slightly warm and cozy atmosphere.

It was only after Pu Sangzhi had taken her seat that she realized she was sitting next to Huo Feng’s class trainer and another classmate of his, Yong Mu.

Behind her, the twin roommates of Huo Feng also sat...

It was indeed a very prominent position.

Pu Sangzhi could completely guess that Huo Feng had brought her here to ostentatiously show their affection in public!

And indeed, after they had sat down, Huo Feng fully displayed this intention...

He first transferred some small dishes from his own plate to Pu Sangzhi’s, and while doing so, he said to the trainer and Yong Mu across from him, "Let me formally introduce you to my girlfriend."

The trainer and Yong Mu across stared at Pu Sangzhi for a few seconds but said nothing, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"Say hello," Huo Feng urged them.

This finally prompted the trainer to speak, "Hello."

"Hello," Pu Sangzhi crisply nodded, feeling quite awkward as well.

Yong Mu couldn’t even say hello, just nodding at her, to which Pu Sangzhi politely responded, "Hello."

After a very brief greeting, the trainer and Yong Mu went back to eating their noodles, both maintaining silence.

"This is my trainer and also my pal. And this is my junior, Mu, meet him," Huo Feng casually introduced the trainer and Yong Mu.

One as a "Brother" and the other as a "Junior," they referred to each other in brotherly terms and seemed to have a good relationship.

Indeed, Huo Feng’s relationship with both of them was quite good.

However, since both of them were quite reserved and not the type who conversed much, they were more silent upon meeting Huo Feng’s girlfriend.

Huo Feng, who knew their personalities well, even told Pu Sangzhi, "They’re not much for talking, just ignore them and eat."

With that statement from him, Pu Sangzhi and the two could stay quiet without the atmosphere getting too awkward.

At that moment, the twins were sitting right behind Pu Sangzhi, naturally noticing she and Huo Feng sitting shoulder to shoulder in the front row.

Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao numbly picked at the noodles in their bowls, supporting their face with one hand, evidently lacking any enthusiasm...

Finally, Gu Erhao couldn’t help but say, "Do you think some people just have such an easy life..."

Gu Yihao asked, "Are you referring to the brute in front?"

Gu Erhao nodded, "Such tiring activities, and he breezes right through them. And such a beautiful girl, he effortlessly wins her over. Now look at us... Since sharing a dorm with him, we’ve lost all sense of superiority."

You see, the twins were once considered prodigies in their village!

From a young age, they had remarkable mathematical abilities! Their memory and mental calculation skills were naturally outstanding! Simply a gift!

Thus, over the years, whether in the village, at home, or at school, they were always pampered and praised by teachers, parents, and friends alike.

They had never faced so many setbacks...

Since attending university, coming to Tsinghua, and moving into the dorm, ever since they met Huo Feng...

They started to feel like they were hitting a wall in their life.

In Huo Feng’s eyes, they were nothing special or impressive; rather, he demeaned them to the lowest.

Moreover, since the start of school to the present, they couldn’t hold their head up in front of Huo Feng and never won over him.

The twins suddenly felt like they weren’t that outstanding at all...

Gu Yihao sighed, "Maybe everyone is outstanding at school... Or maybe that brute was always outstanding and possibly more so than us..."

Gu Erhao frowned, "You think a person who was abused by his mom growing up has that much time to improve? Yet he still progresses while chasing a girlfriend and builds up all this muscle... Why is life so unfair..."

It must be said, at that moment, Gu Erhao started to feel a bit jealous of Huo Feng.

Even though he was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Huo Feng seemed to be more outstanding than them...

Gu Erhao felt quite frustrated.

Gu Yihao was quite composed, "Perhaps it’s because his mom was harsh on him from a young age, made him do too many chores, that’s why he’s built up such muscles. As for his girlfriend, maybe she is with him out of pity for his background... Anyway, forget it! Just leave him be."

Gu Erhao sighed, "Ah, his girlfriend is so beautiful..."

Gu Yihao also sighed, "It’s a bit of a shame. But no matter, with our capabilities, we can definitely find someone beautiful too."

While they said this, the twins were still feeling quite down.

Fortunately, they were speaking softly, so Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, who were sitting in front of them, didn’t hear their words. Had Huo Feng heard what they were discussing, he might have given them both a lecture.

Because they hadn’t heard, Huo Feng was in a very good mood at the moment.

He was diligently serving dishes to Pu Sangzhi. During the meal, he didn’t forget to hold her hand with one of his while using his other hand to eat.

Huo Feng placed a piece of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots into her bowl, then ducked his head to slurp some noodles, eating with great gusto.

Pu Sangzhi silently sipped her porridge, her hands clasped with Huo Feng’s under the table. She playfully tickled the palm of his hand with two fingers.

Huo Feng also played with her fingers for a while, then squeezed her hand tenderly...

These subtle interactions, known only to them, were tinged with sweetness.

In love, it’s often these little details that can touch the very heart.

The instructor sitting opposite them finished his noodles quickly. While wiping his mouth, he said to Huo Feng, "I’m going to take a nap back in the dorm, and then we have military theory class at half-past one. I’ll leave first."

Huo Feng nodded, "Will you wait for me in the dorm this afternoon?"

After thinking for a moment, the coach nodded and said, "Sure. Gather up the classmates, and then we’ll head over together."

"Ok!" Huo Feng responded.

"I’ve finished eating too, coach. I’ll go with you,"

Yong Mu quickly drank a sip of soup and got up hurriedly, anxious not to be left behind by the coach.

Being not very sociable, he naturally did not want to stay and be a third wheel in front of Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng.

So, seizing the opportunity, Yong Mu quickly got up and left with the coach.

After they were gone, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng could finally talk freely.

She asked Huo Feng, "Are you that close to the coach? Even asking him to wait for you in the dorm?"

Huo Feng casually replied, "Among dozens of people in our class, the coach favors only me. I don’t think he sees me as a student anymore; he treats me like a brother. When I talk to him privately, I always feel very influential!"

Pu Sangzhi nodded in response, "Our coach is a nice guy, too. But I don’t dare mess around with him; he’s too serious. That girl from Xinjiang in our dorm, she flirts a lot with the coach. I think her personality is similar to yours, she becomes familiar quickly."

"I’m not familiar with just anybody, okay?"

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Those guys in my dorm, I still haven’t gotten close with them. Those two guys in the back, probably will never get close. To really get close with Huo Feng, the personalities definitely have to be somewhat similar. See, our coach is full of masculinity, we hit off right away. The magnetic field between men is very important!"

"You’re just talking nonsense..."

Pu Sangzhi refused to buy into his theory, "Yan Siyuan’s personality is so different from yours, and yet you got along with him so quickly, didn’t you?"

"That’s a different story,"

Huo Feng explained to her, "Yan Ji and I share interests. We have many common hobbies, that’s why we can hang out together. As for those in my dorm..."

Pu Sangzhi specially reminded him, "Didn’t you already take a little brother under your wing? And you dare say you can’t get along?"

Huo Feng clicked his tongue and furrowed his brows, musing seriously, "The guy is too rigid, boring, uptight, honest. It’s fine to make friends casually, but it’s not very exciting."

Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi actually understood his current situation...

He couldn’t find any true companions at this school.

The only one he got along with would be leaving after military training, and then he’d be lonely with no one to confide in again.

Thinking about this, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but wonder: Was his decision to follow her all the way here, giving up so many good brothers, a mistake?

This sudden question made Pu Sangzhi feel uneasy in her heart...

But she knew there was no chance for regret. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

If he couldn’t find good brothers here, she would have to provide him with all the more care and love.

During these university years, Pu Sangzhi would treat him well!
