Chapter 733: Chapter 733
Afterward, the embarrassed Pu Sangzhi still buried her head in Huo Feng’s chest.
Although she was still embarrassed, when she buried her head in his chest, she also hugged his waist, as if clinging to a full sense of security.
In his arms, every breath she took was filled with his pleasant scent.
Warm and cozy, protection and pampering wrapped around her heart, causing Pu Sangzhi’s heart to gradually succumb in this love without any bottom line...
Along the way, Pu Sangzhi felt, this was even more comfortable than having a seat to sit on.
After getting off the subway and walking some distance, they finally arrived at Nanluo Guxiang.
At this time, Nanluo Guxiang was bustling with tourists scattered in every corner.
Having been in Beijing for so many days, this was the first time Pu Sangzhi was visiting such a culturally rich place with Huo Feng.
Not the flavor of Beijing, but its territorial heritage...
In Nanluo Guxiang, the crisscrossing alleys were saturated with Beijing flavor, the concrete-built buildings were also infused with it, and the residences of civil and military officials from the Qing Dynasty were too.
Beijing, after all, is the imperial land.
The cultural heritage left by several dynasties underneath the emperor’s feet is what makes this city most charming.
Arriving at this place, just as they entered from the main direction of Nanluo Guxiang, what others saw were all kinds of specialty gift shops and gourmet eateries in a prosperous setting.
But what Pu Sangzhi saw was the history and cultural construction of ancient residences.
While others were using their phones to look for must-eat delicacies in Nanluo Guxiang, Pu Sangzhi took out her phone to search for the historical origins of Nanluo Guxiang...
Then, as she browsed, she started educating Huo Feng, "Nanluo Guxiang is an alley and also one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing. It was established during the Yuan Dynasty and was renamed ’Nanluo Guxiang’ during the Qing Dynasty, with a history of over 740 years..."
Huo Feng half-heartedly agreed with her, his attention on the dazzling array of street shops, contemplating whether there was any local specialty worth buying for his ten sons.
After all, Huo Feng was planning to return to Wenzhou on October 1st.
He wanted to meet up with his ten sons and have a good time, and incidentally, bring them some Beijing trinkets to touch their hearts.
"During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanluo Guxiang was a place for the wealthy and influential. The streets and alleys were inhabited by nobles and grand mansions were numerous. After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, these residences of civil and military officials were divided among the common people, the old system was abolished, and the new China was established."
Pu Sangzhi enthusiastically shared the rich cultural heritage of the place, feeling excited about touching the cultural aspects of Beijing through this kind of literary knowledge.
However, Huo Feng next to her was particularly dismissive in his response, hugging her shoulders and saying, "Let’s go check out that specialty store, shall we?"
"Were you even listening to me?" Pu Sangzhi frowned, looking up at him.
Huo Feng nodded, "Yes. You said, it’s from the Qing Dynasty..."
Pu Sangzhi continued her education, "Here, a central axis runs from south to north, with a total of eight alleys on both sides, forming a ’fishbone’ pattern. On the left and right sides..."
Huo Feng couldn’t stand it any longer and, shaking her shoulder, called out in her ear: "Stop delving into history, my head is going to swell from all this listening!"
Pu Sangzhi almost laughed, pointing a finger at him, "What did you just call me?"
Huo Feng thought back and, driven by the instinct to survive, immediately changed his words, "Wifey~"
Pu Sangzhi elbowed his chest and lightly huffed, "If you don’t want to listen, then don’t listen, but why would you call me that? I’m younger than you."
"Yes, yes, yes... I’m your older brother..."
Huo Feng patted her shoulder and held her tightly, hurriedly changing the subject, "Hey, let’s go buy some specialty products to share when we go back for the holiday."
Pu Sangzhi hesitated a bit, "You’re going back for the holiday?"
"Yeah, I have a 7-day break. Why, aren’t you going back?"
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, "If you’re not going back, what will you stay here for?"
Pu Sangzhi pouted, "Going back is too expensive. Plus, just the travel takes two days, so I’d only have a few days to enjoy."
"Expensive what! Being Huo Feng’s girlfriend and still worrying about money!"
Huo Feng pinched her shoulder, "Stop thinking, I’ll pay for it."
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him and pursed her lips, not saying a word.
Because she didn’t know what to say.
Huo Feng beside her continued to mumble, "In college and still worrying about money. Haven’t I given you enough security? Honestly..."
With that, Huo Feng reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet, ready to open it.
But Pu Sangzhi stopped him with her hand, unable to resist laughing, "Hey, don’t pull out money for me, it’s embarrassing..."
"What’s so embarrassing about it?"
Huo Feng directly stuffed the entire wallet into her hand, "Here, it’s all yours. Just manage my pocket money for me, I get 3000 a month, spend it however I like! If it’s not enough, just tell me, I can still live off my parents."
Pu Sangzhi, looking helpless, "Put it away."
Then, she forcefully stuffed the wallet back into Huo Feng’s pocket, "I know you’re rich, save it, don’t waste it."
Huo Feng was particularly satisfied as he leaned close to her, and whispered into her ear, "I’m saving so I can spend it on you."
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and smiled, easily moved by his sweet nothings.
Pink bubbles seemed to continuously emerge around them, creating an atmosphere so delightfully sweet it could kill!
At that moment, standing in front of Huo Feng, Yong Mu, who had been quietly eavesdropping on their entire conversation, suddenly had an epiphany! He felt like he had learned a new trick!
Yong Mu reached into his pocket, took a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to ask Mu Mu, who was beside him, "Xiao Mu, do you have money?"
Mu Mu was startled for a moment, but after realizing, she hurriedly said, "Hmm. Are you short on cash? I can lend you some?"
Yong Mu: "No need..."
He didn’t know what went wrong, nor did he dare to ask.
Meanwhile, the twins had taken the subway to Nanluo Guxiang.
Although the twins came with the hope of a chance encounter, they were still quite excited about their outing.
They bought whatever caught their fancy as they walked along the way.
The pair also sent videos to their mother as they went, and seeing the kind smile on their mother’s face in return, they asked, "Mom, can we have a bit more money..."
Then, their mother transferred 1000 yuan to both of them!
Inside Nanluo Guxiang, the scene was bustling.
The group strolled down a long Hutong and sampled various snacks.
Around 5 pm, they found a highly recommended restaurant from a travel guide, South Gate Instant-Boiled Mutton, where they all sat around a round table and started their dinner.
Pu Sangzhi sat next to Huo Feng, flanked by two other girls on her other side, while Yong Mu and Mu Mu sat beside Huo Feng.
Sun Yifeng sat with a few guys from his dorm, as if they were from two different nations.
The seating arrangement had not been orchestrated; it just happened that Minal and Wei Zixuan wanted to sit next to Pu Sangzhi, Yong Mu next to Huo Feng, and Mu Mu automatically sat beside him.
When Mu Mu took her seat, the boys and girls at the table were all stunned.
Sun Yifeng’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to fathom how, under his impenetrable interaction and communication, he had inadvertently lost another option!
What’s with the girls these days! Are they easy or hard to chase?!
After his shock subsided, Sun Yifeng quickly got over it.
He told himself that he could still chase Minal! And if nothing else, there was still Wei Zixuan!
After all, he still had a chance!
In Beijing, copper pot instant-boiled mutton is a must-eat delicacy, and accompanied by sesame sauce, it’s simply heavenly.
Of course, some people may not be used to it...
Sun Yifeng, claiming to be a Beijinger, ordered for everyone as the host, and ordered a table full of meat.
In Beijing, which is in the north, the portions are very generous—an order of lamb meat for 58 yuan fills a large plate, and it’s all solid slices of meat.
Although the weather was still hot, eating hot pot had its own unique charm.
"Everyone, eat and drink as much as you’d like..."
Sun Yifeng energetically controlled the scene, pushing a large plate of lamb into the pot, "Instant-boiled mutton, the essence of it is that we must start with the meat! Let’s each have a few slices of lamb to whet our appetites first, then we can add the vegetables. This Old Beijing copper pot is all about the hand-cut meat slices that are so thin and clean, you won’t find a drop of blood left on your plate! Go ahead, dig in, don’t be shy, tonight this meal..."
"Are you treating us?" Minal asked.
"Hey, tonight, let’s all enjoy good food and drinks! I’m just shepherding the meal, can’t afford to treat, haha~"
Sun Yifeng laughed and clearly had no intention to foot the bill.
The girls at the table were all amused by Sun Yifeng’s show of bravado and laughed at him.
However, just then, Yong Mu, who was usually reserved and taciturn, suddenly spoke up, "I’ll treat everyone to this meal."
When he said that, everyone at the table turned their gaze toward him.
Calmly, Yong Mu said, "Actually, I too am from Beijing. Let’s let me play host and treat everyone."
"No need, no need," Minal quickly demurred, her head turned in polite refusal, "We were all just joking. Let’s just go Dutch."
Yong Mu said, "It’s fine. I can afford it, let me treat."
Beside him, Mu Mu said, "Just let him pay."
"Really, it’s not necessary."
Minal was feeling a bit embarrassed now, "Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s eat the meat." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Later, Minal came to realize that there are some jokes that should not be made with some people.
Afterward, everyone also realized that the two of them really had something going!
Huo Feng offered Pu Sangzhi a slice of meat while secretly leaning in to whisper in her ear, "Your roommate has a pretty good eye, snagging the richest guy in my dorm in no time at all."
Pu Sangzhi nodded and said, "It seems to be moving a bit fast. With her personality, that shouldn’t be the case..."
Huo Feng said, "With Mu’s personality, it shouldn’t be the case either..."
Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi both didn’t know, what was up with them?
