Chapter 725: Chapter 725

After breakfast, they came out from the cafeteria with their bedding on their backs, heading back to the dormitory.

Huo Feng walked Pu Sangzhi back to her dormitory first, the two of them shoulder to shoulder with their quilt bundles, their camouflaged figures exuding youthful vigor.

Huo Feng originally wanted to carry her bedding for her, but Pu Sangzhi refused. So, on the way back, Huo Feng walked with one hand free, silently supporting the bedding behind her to lighten her load.

On the road, most were freshmen in camouflage uniforms, and of course, there were also students from the same department.

Pu Sangzhi encountered quite a few Civil Engineering students along the way, and as the beauty of the Civil Engineering Department, she immediately became the focus of the boys’ attention.

The boys looked at Pu Sangzhi with concern while also closely observing Huo Feng at her side...

Those gazes, from the moment they saw the two of them, lingered until they had walked past before finally retreating...

Afterward, their classmates couldn’t help but speculate. Could the guy beside Pu Sangzhi be her boyfriend?

But no one dared to jump to conclusions, preferring to wait for accurate information.

Because, if they concluded too quickly, their goddess would be gone!

Huo Feng quickly took her to the base of the dormitory building, and from there, he had to see her upstairs.

Feeling uneasy, Huo Feng didn’t forget to remind her before parting, "It seems like the guys from your department are all interested in you. Hey, you might say I’m overly sensitive, but I still have to tell you, I’m pretty worried. Make sure you don’t go flirting around..."

Pu Sangzhi snorted, and then she made a suggestion, "Since you’re so insecure about it, why don’t you come and show off at our department’s freshman ball?"

Huo Feng said unapologetically, "If I don’t, who else will? Are you thinking of finding someone else to replace me?"

"No way!" Pu Sangzhi firmly stated.

Only then did Huo Feng smile with relief, "The guys from our department have heard that your Civil Engineering girls are of good quality. Our instructor made special contact with your department to organize it together, and even roped in the Business and Foreign Languages departments. Those departments also have many girls, supposedly to ensure that our boys aren’t left out."

Pu Sangzhi was surprised to hear this, "That’s a lot of people..."

Huo Feng raised his hand to ruffle her hair, "It doesn’t matter how many there are, as long as we are a pair."

Pu Sangzhi followed with a light laugh, "Mhm."

"Alright, go upstairs, I need to head back to the dorm too."

After a few brief words, it was time for them to go their separate ways.

Huo Feng waved at her, signaling her to hurry back to the dormitory. After all, they had classes in the afternoon, and they needed to rest and catch up on sleep in the morning.

Pu Sangzhi was supposed to turn and leave, but before she did, a sudden thought struck her, and she stepped forward to hug Huo Feng.

Huo Feng let out a sound of surprise and disbelief, looking down at her dark hair.

She suddenly clung to him?

To cling to him so unexpectedly?

Could it be that they had been separated for too long, and she was missing him too much?

It had only been a bit over a week...

She was the one who could go a month without seeing him and not even mention wanting to meet...

It was truly bizarre!

Surprised yet delighted, Huo Feng wrapped his arms around her small shoulders, gently patting her back and neck, and said in an indulgent tone, "What’s the matter? Can’t bear to part with me, huh?"

From within his embrace, Pu Sangzhi’s muffled voice came through, "I will be good to you in the future..."

Huo Feng doubted his own ears!

So he asked directly, looking down, "What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly?"

Pu Sangzhi’s small hands tightened around his slender waist, half her face buried in the sweat-scented camouflage fabric, "I will be good to you in the future. I will, to the best of my ability, be good to you and give you more in return. That way, you won’t feel so insecure."

Suddenly, she made this solemn vow to him.

Even though he couldn’t see her face, Huo Feng could tell from her tone that she was serious, so serious that it seemed she had been holding these words in for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to say them.

Huo Feng’s heart warmed, his lips curling up and eyes smiling, his expression filled with happiness.

Bowing his head slightly and bending forward, Huo Feng’s chin tucked into her shoulder, his deep and husky voice said, "Make sure you keep your word, and don’t let me down."

Pu Sangzhi nodded her little head inside his embrace, quietly closing her eyes, feeling the warmth in her heart.

Right in front of the girls’ dormitory, the two of them hugged for a long time.

The girls passing by could not help but cast glances, and then, covering their lips, they quietly walked past.

Most of the freshmen who didn’t know them were secretly sighing in the background: It had been only a little over a week of military training, and yet there were already people getting into relationships, the speed was frightening!

In fact, the two of them had been in a relationship for three years.

After seeing Pu Sangzhi off, Huo Feng carried his bedding toward Zijing Building No. 1, the dormitory building for the Computer Science boys.

On the way, Huo Feng suddenly saw Zhou Shan from the dormitory next door, struggling to carry three quilts by himself.

He had one on his back and one in each hand, nearly stopping every few steps to catch his breath and rest his hands.

After that, he continued carrying the three beddings forward...

That slightly chubby figure, viewed from the back, looked just like Pan Bo!

Therefore, at that moment, Huo Feng felt a small stir in his heart...

He took the initiative to run over to Zhou Shan and, when he got close, enthusiastically helped Zhou Shan with one of the beddings, "I’ll help you."

"Thanks... no need, no need."

Zhou Shan had just finished his thanks when he looked up, saw it was Huo Feng, and started waving his hands frantically, "I’ll do it myself, I can manage."

Zhou Shan was somewhat afraid of Huo Feng because, living in the dorm next door, he had heard some terrifying things about Huo Feng from his roommates.

For example, Huo Feng said he used to be the School Tyrant, Huo Feng’s body was all muscle, Huo Feng was very arrogant in the dorm, Huo Feng even fought with twins!

Zhou Shan knew all about it.

Moreover, Zhou Shan had personally experienced the strength and force of Huo Feng’s hands, so he was afraid of him and had been keeping his distance lately...

"It’s fine, I’ll carry one for you. You look like you’re struggling."

Huo Feng effortlessly picked up a quilt for Zhou Shan and started walking forward, appearing completely at ease.

"That... that... you really don’t need to help me..."

Zhou Shan began to follow Huo Feng, speaking with some difficulty and caution.

"It’s nothing, they’re not heavy, I hardly feel a thing when carrying them."

Huo Feng said warmly, even glancing at Zhou Shan and lifting his thin lips, "You look a lot like a brother I had in high school, I feel comfortable looking at you. Otherwise, I, Huo Feng, wouldn’t normally help people so easily."

Zhou Shan thanked him stiffly, thinking to himself in that moment, could this be what they call honor among thieves?

"By the way, why are you carrying three?"

Along the way, Huo Feng started making casual conversation with him, teasing him, "Who are you carrying them for, a girl?"

Zhou Shan shook his head, "They’re for Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao."

Huo Feng immediately let go, dropping the quilt onto the ground.

It was for those twins!

Someone as honorable as him, Huo Feng, how could he carry quilts for those twins?

Seeing Huo Feng drop the quilt onto the ground, Zhou Shan felt a bit embarrassed, so he also put the other quilt he was carrying on the ground to rest for a bit while explaining, "Well, they paid me. I thought about it, it’s just a short distance, so I agreed."

Huo Feng’s eyebrows shot up, surprised for a second, but it was just for a second; then he nodded, "Sounds like something those two brothers would do."

"It’s fine, it’s fine..."

Zhou Shan hastily waved his hand, "You don’t need to help me, I can carry them. Thanks anyway..."

Huo Feng suddenly stopped him, "How much did they give you?"

Zhou Shan crisply replied, "80."

Huo Feng frowned, "80 for one person, and you agreed to it?"

Zhou Shan shook his head, "It’s 80 for both of them, 40 for each quilt." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

So stingy and they dare to pay for someone’s help?

Huo Feng’s eyes twitched, "Are you crazy? They fobbed you off with 80?"

Zhou Shan shook his head repeatedly, "I thought it was quite a lot. Anyway... I won’t keep you, I’m heading back to the dorm now."

With that, Zhou Shan picked up two quilts, one in each hand, and started walking quickly forward.

He won’t be killed by a night of forced marches! And he still takes on such low-paying jobs!

Huo Feng frowned as he started to catch up, casually reminding Zhou Shan, "By my estimate, it’s still about 80 meters back to the dorm, and our dorm is on the fourth floor, so you’ll have to climb the stairs. Given your build and stamina, you’ll probably need to rest at least five times along the way. Good luck..."

After finishing, Huo Feng stuffed his hands into his pockets as he walked past Zhou Shan, leaving behind a cold and indifferent figure.

Zhou Shan took a couple of breaths, clenched his teeth, and continued marching forward, toiling thanklessly...
