Chapter 738: Chapter 738

In the evening, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng had spent about two hours in the library.

The lack of compulsory evening study sessions made student life seem very free and easy, exactly the college experience they had wanted!

At around 9:00 PM, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi rode their bicycles back to the Zijing Dormitory Building.

First, he dropped her off at Zijing Building No. 5. Pu Sangzhi locked her bicycle and, holding a stack of books borrowed from the library, waved at Huo Feng, "I’m off."

Before she could turn around, Huo Feng called out to her, "How about a kiss?"

Pu Sangzhi scoffed but still stepped forward and tiptoed to give him a peck on the cheek.

After the kiss, she turned around and ran into the dormitory. Her graceful figure disappeared into the building and deeply etched into his heart.

A happy smile played on Huo Feng’s lips, his teeth gleaming in a uniform white row, lighting up his mood late at night!

Afterward, he mounted his bicycle and leisurely rode towards his dormitory.

On the way, Huo Feng hummed a tune, feeling relaxed and joyful...

Soon, a week of mundane studying passed by, nearing the end of September.

The National Day was approaching, and after discussions among counselors from various departments, it was decided to push the freshman dance to after the National Day.

The decision was primarily to allow students to return home for a proper National Day celebration and also to give them more time for recovery.

After all, everyone had turned as dark as coal from the military training!

Attending the dance in such a state would hardly be wise.

With October 1st on the horizon, the newly acquainted dorm mates faced their first separation.

On the evening of September 29th, Pu Sangzhi had already started to pack her bags, planning to head to the airport with Huo Feng right after classes the next day.

Huo Feng had snagged discounted midnight flight tickets, costing just over 400 yuan which was cheaper than the high-speed train, though it meant arriving in Wenzhou in the wee hours.

The time of arrival in Wenzhou wasn’t important because Huo Mingshan would be there to pick them up.

So, Pu Sangzhi was all set to return home for the holiday.

Among the dorm mates, only Pu Sangzhi was going home, as the others had various reasons for staying.

Therefore, the whole dorm watched Pu Sangzhi pack her bag, with only her keeping busy...

"Are you really not going back?"

After nearly finishing packing her suitcase, Pu Sangzhi looked up at the girls lying on their three bunks.

"I want to go home..."

Minal lay limply on her bed, "but my home is on the prairie... Yeah, the prairie... It’s too much hassle to go back... I miss my Dad..."

Pu Sangzhi waved at Minal, "Just the travel costs you several thousand, better save it."

"Mu Mu, why aren’t you going back to Hangzhou?"

Pu Sangzhi then questioned Mu Mu, "It’s not that long a trip from here to Hangzhou, right? If you go back and forth over two days, you’d still have five days at home."

Mu Mu, suddenly singled out by Pu Sangzhi, was stunned for a moment before answering nervously, "It, it’s too expensive for me to go home... A round trip costs over a thousand, my mom told me not to go back."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "And you, Zixuan? Why aren’t you going home either?"

Wei Zixuan sighed deeply, "Same reason. My mom told me not to come back because the round-trip flight is too expensive. So, I just have to stay here and wait for the winter break to go back..."

Pu Sangzhi then said, "I also think the plane tickets are expensive, but Huo Feng managed to grab some discounted ones, so it wasn’t too pricey. I guess I have to leave you guys and head back first!"

Minal let out a deep sigh, turned around, flopped onto her back, and stared blankly at the ceiling, "It’s good to have a boyfriend, a boyfriend thinks of everything for you, accomplishes everything for you, and will even pay for your flight tickets. Unlike us single dogs..."

The girls in the dorm had always been envious of Pu Sangzhi for having such a good boyfriend like Huo Feng, continuously envious...

It got to the point where Pu Sangzhi felt a bit embarrassed to flaunt Huo Feng anymore.

"Well, I’ll bring back some specialties from Wenzhou for you guys."

Pu Sangzhi said, "You guys just wait here for them."

Minal immediately nodded in agreement, "I want some tasty treats~ I want to visit Wenzhou too~ How about, next holiday, I come to your place?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "But I’m staying at my best friend’s place right now. If you want to come over, I’ll need to ask if there’s room at her house."

By that time, Pu Sangzhi had completely packed up her luggage for her trip home. She was just about to wash her hair and take a shower when her phone suddenly rang.

She received a call from Ye Qingcao...

It had been a long time since she had received a call from Ye Qingcao...

Since the start of the school term, Pu Sangzhi had received only one call from Ye Qingcao during the first two days of military training.

Ye Qingcao excitedly told Pu Sangzhi that she had finally spoken her first word to Yan Siyuan!

After secretly knowing him for so many years, Ye Qingcao had finally formally introduced herself to Yan Siyuan.

That day when she called Pu Sangzhi, Ye Qingcao was incredibly excited!

However, after that, Ye Qingcao had not called Pu Sangzhi again.

Pu Sangzhi also rarely received calls from her today...

"Xiaocao, will you be going home for the National Day?"

As soon as she spoke, Pu Sangzhi asked her this while also sharing her own situation, "I am going home tomorrow. I booked a flight for 0:00, I will arrive at home at night, is it convenient to visit your house?"

"It’s very convenient!"

On the other end of the phone, Ye Qingcao’s voice was as excited and high-pitched as ever, "Ah~ Sangzhi, we’re seriously telepathic! I am going back tomorrow too, and I was just about to tell you this! I didn’t expect you to be coming back too! How awesome!"

"It’s much easier for you to go home. Hangzhou is so close to Wenzhou."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and said, "It’s troublesome for me to go back. But luckily this time Huo Feng snatched up some discounted plane tickets, the round trip is just over 400, so it’s worth the trip back."

"Feng Ge is just Feng Ge, still so awesome!"

Through the phone, Ye Qingcao let out a voice of admiration, "Sangzhi, let me tell you, I just called my mom, and she said auntie isn’t home, she’s in Heilongjiang with Uncle Pu. Don’t be too disappointed..."

Ye Qingcao specifically called Pu Sangzhi just to tell her this.

In the Ye family home in Wenzhou, Chen Huifen was no longer living there.

After Pu Sangzhi had gone to Beijing, Chen Huifen had packed up her things and rushed to Heilongjiang to be with Pu Wenhua.

Chen Huifen was ultimately a woman who had no real knowledge and only knew how to rely on others.

Without Pu Sangzhi around, she lived with Xu Hui in a hazy, aimless existence.

So, she later decided to go and take care of Pu Wenhua.

Chen Huifen didn’t tell Pu Sangzhi this because she didn’t want Pu Sangzhi to worry.

Ye Qingcao had also just found out this information a few minutes ago, and she immediately called Pu Sangzhi.

After Pu Sangzhi learned about this, she felt somewhat disappointed, "I see..."

She thought that since she couldn’t see her mother upon returning to Rui’an, maybe it wasn’t necessary to go back at all...

"Sangzhi, don’t be disappointed."

Through the phone, Ye Qingcao comforted her, "You can still hang out with me. I’ve missed you so much! I have so much, so much to tell you! You have no idea, this month has been too eventful! My mind is blown!"

Pu Sangzhi raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that you and Yan Siyuan have actually made progress?"

Ye Qingcao showed off a bright white, orderly set of teeth, "But I think it’s soon! He’s been flirting with me lately! Can you believe it? He actually took the initiative to flirt with me!? My head is spinning~ OMG~~"

Pu Sangzhi started laughing, "Don’t get too excited."

"I just... oh my... I don’t even know who else to talk to..."

Ye Qingcao spoke incoherently from excitement, "Anyway, hurry back home! Tomorrow I absolutely have to have a long talk with you! I have so much to tell you! It’s too hard to explain over the phone!"

Ye Qingcao was still the same, passionate, cheerful, and spirited...

While on the phone with her, the corners of Pu Sangzhi’s mouth were always turned up, inevitably influenced by her mood.

"Alright, alright, see you tomorrow." Pu Sangzhi nodded.

"See you tomorrow, see you tomorrow!"

Ye Qingcao cheerfully said, "I bet you’re still very pretty! I super want to hug you!"

Ye Qingcao: "Hehe, then let’s not talk anymore! I’m going to pack my bags~ See you tomorrow~" Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Pu Sangzhi: "See you tomorrow."

And with that, the call on the other end was hung up.

Pu Sangzhi put down her phone and then called her mother, talking with Chen Huifen for a good while.

Not being able to see her mother during the National Day trip back to Rui’an, Pu Sangzhi was indeed quite disappointed...
