Chapter 741: Chapter 741

Pu Sangzhi emerged from the bathroom, only to be greeted by Huo Feng’s face, clouded with a dark mood!

She had no idea what was wrong with Huo Feng, who suddenly seemed to have a great emotional letdown and stopped joking with her.

They left Ye Xi’s dormitory together, Pu Sangzhi locked the door, and then they headed to the airport.

The journey to the airport was a long one by subway.

On the subway, Huo Feng’s mood wasn’t great, as if he had suddenly become listless.

But he didn’t snap at her, and his tone wasn’t terrible, he just wasn’t joking anymore...

For someone with his peculiar personality to suddenly stop joking was already very strange.

Pu Sangzhi had been holding it in the entire way, all the way till they reached the airport.

As they sat in the waiting area after retrieving their tickets, she wrapped her arms around Huo Feng’s arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and finally asked him, "What’s wrong with you? It seems like you suddenly have something on your mind..." Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

"Just a little bit," he replied.

Huo Feng didn’t hide it from her and spoke in a still quite pleasant tone, only he looked unhappy.

"What’s on your mind then?"

Pu Sangzhi asked him, "Why do you suddenly have something bothering you? Who reached out to you?"

Huo Feng shook his head, turned to her, and his nose touched the top of her head as he inhaled deeply the pleasant scent of her hair, "Ah... you know what makes me most insecure..."

Pu Sangzhi acknowledged, "Mhm."

Huo Feng let out a sigh and said, "It’s just that your popularity is too high. So high it makes my heart flutter..."

Pu Sangzhi furrowed her brows in confusion, "Huh?"

With his thin lips on the top of her head, Huo Feng whispered softly, "Sometimes I really want to stamp my name on your forehead, to let the whole world know you are mine, Huo Feng’s, and will always be. Then no one would dare to covet you..."

Pu Sangzhi frowned even more, suddenly lifted her head, her chin resting on his shoulder, her shiny black eyes meeting his deep, bottomless ones, "What’s the matter? Who has provoked you? It couldn’t be Brother Ye Xi, could it? You’ve been off since we left his dorm..."

Pu Sangzhi immediately guessed the cause.

Of course, she didn’t know about the notebook.

"Yeah," he confessed straightforwardly, not denying it, "Is it truly over between you and your Brother Ye Xi? He doesn’t stand a chance?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "I only see him as a brother, don’t overthink it."

Huo Feng actually felt hugely unsettled hearing this!

You should know, just hours before, he had read about her confession to that damn Ye Xi in his diary!

She had never confessed to him, Huo Feng...

Throughout the time they had known each other, she had only secretly written that note confessing ’liking him,’ and during the university application rush, when pressed, she blurted out ’I like him’...

There was never a time when she passionately said those words to him!

He didn’t know whether she was being petty or she simply didn’t feel the need to say such things to him, Huo Feng.

"Hey, just say you like me," urged Huo Feng as he prodded her cheek with his hand, "Say it once, and I’ll be at peace."

"I do like you," Sangzhi suddenly said outright, without holding back, her bright eyes staring intently at him...

The sincerity was quite evident in the swirling clarity of her gaze, and Huo Feng could see the truth in her eyes.

His heart instantly softened...

Clutching at his chest with a hand, Huo Feng gently caressed her face with the other, "Say it one more time."

"Why say it so many times?" Pu Sangzhi was not pleased to repeat herself and turned her head away, continuing to lean against Huo Feng’s shoulder, "As long as you’re clear about it, that’s enough. We haven’t just met yesterday, and it’s not like you don’t know..."

"Mm~ I want to hear it many times~ Even saying it once a day isn’t enough for me~ It must be several times a day~" Huo Feng whined in a coquettish tone.

That made Sanzhi’s scalp tingle, "You’re gross, stop talking in that tone."

She remembered a line she had read somewhere: "Why does a perfectly normal man become so effeminate after falling in love!"

Huo Feng sighed again and wrapped his arms around her small frame, "I really want to marry you quickly. I won’t be at peace until I do..."

Sangzhi said, "It’s too soon. Haven’t we only just started dating?"

Huo Feng responded, "But I already call you my wife, and I really want to marry you."

Sangzhi replied, "You were calling me your girlfriend even before we dated. You’re always one step ahead with your words, and I’ve gotten used to that. But still, we need to do things step by step, act our age and not rush!"

Suddenly, Huo Feng asked, "What’s the legal age for marriage in our country?"

Pu Sangzhi quietly curved her lips and patted his hand, "No matter what the legal age is, marriage has to wait until after graduating from college, that’s my life plan."

"Why don’t you consider my life plan?"

Huo Feng argued with her, "My life plan is to marry you as soon as we’re of legal age. Have kids right after college graduation! Take advantage of our youth; you can even have a second child later on, how great would that be?"

Pu Sangzhi felt like the topic was getting further and further away, straying to a distant future...

But, being able to discuss the future without any reservations with him also made her feel quite happy.

"Did you see the zodiac I sent you before?"

Pu Sangzhi reminded him, "My plans are all in there. Perfectly reasonable and just right! Just follow the plan I’ve laid out, okay?"

"No, I haven’t seen it, you made that thing so exquisite, I haven’t opened a single one. I didn’t open the ones from the past two years either, planning to let them biodegrade on their own."

Huo Feng also said, "Seriously, I think you should marry me sooner, considering I’m quite popular too. Don’t you feel a bit of crisis about me? Register our marriage sooner, relieve that sense of crisis!"

Pu Sangzhi tilted her head and said, "I trust you a lot."

After she spoke, she lifted her head, and with a finger on his nose, "You need to trust me too."

Huo Feng suddenly asked, "Do you love me?"

Pu Sangzhi met his eyes and felt the serious focus that suddenly converged in his pupils, as dark as ink.

A moment ago, the atmosphere was still relaxed and conversational, but now, with the shift in his gaze, the atmosphere turned quite serious...

So serious that, Pu Sangzhi paused for several seconds, taking several seconds to process his question.

Fortunately, when she realized what he asked, she pursed her lips and nodded, giving him a definite answer, "Mhm."

Though ’love’ is a heavy word that shouldn’t be said lightly,

Pu Sangzhi still responded like that.

He asked seriously, and she answered seriously.

She couldn’t even clearly explain what love felt like or what it was,

But she only knew that, in this lifetime, she just wanted to marry Huo Feng.

If the future wasn’t him, she would never marry another.

Moreover, she dared not face a future without him.

She didn’t even dare to think about it...

Huo Feng sighed softly, lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips.

There weren’t many people at the airport at this time.

So, right there in front of everyone, they kissed for a long time...

Pu Sangzhi’s hands quietly wrapped around his waist, leaning on him, close to him, feeling the warmth of his breath on her face, feeling very warm, safe, and joyful...

Latter, Huo Feng’s mood suddenly improved again.

He was a bit childlike sometimes and needed coaxing.

Fortunately, he wasn’t hard to coax, and Pu Sangzhi didn’t have to put in much effort to cheer him up.

On the flight back, neither Pu Sangzhi nor Huo Feng slept.

They sat on the plane, with Pu Sangzhi at the window seat, looking at the indigo clouds in the sky outside...

Huo Feng had his arm around her shoulders, and her head rested on his chest, both of them quietly watching the fleeting clouds, feeling a sense of peaceful years flowing by.

Content yet somewhat greedy, Huo Feng then whispered in her ear like a devil, "Let’s get married sooner..."

Pu Sangzhi frowned, "Graduation."

Huo Feng then said, "According to the national legal age for marriage, can’t we marry in our junior year?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "I don’t know, but I want it to be after graduation."

Huo Feng whispered in her ear, "How about we just register first?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head.

Huo Feng rocked her body, "Please? Baby... Listen to me, Sangzhi baby..."

Pu Sangzhi chuckled and said unkindly, "That’s disgusting."

Huo Feng laughed too, letting out an exclamation, "Ah, why is it so hard to marry you... It’s hard to chase you, and hard to marry you... Am I experiencing the trials of Tripitaka’s pilgrimage?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and simply stated, "You’re just too impatient!"

Huo Feng said, "I’m asking for your impatience."

Pu Sangzhi laughed, "I’m not in a hurry."

Huo Feng kissed her ear gently, "Please."

Pu Sangzhi laughed out loud, "Hey..."

Huo Feng kept pestering her, just like back then, when he pestered her for a date...

This pattern, it continued from high school all the way to college, unchanged!
