Chapter 225: 219. Huo Feng, you are no longer a friend, you are something else (1)
This weekend, to allow Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian both to have a good final sprint before their exams, Pu Sangzhi extended their tutoring time.
From one in the afternoon, they had tutoring straight through until eight at night, averaging an extra hour of class for each person.
When it ended at eight, Lin Qianqian waved goodbye to them and headed back to her own home.
Huo Feng also, under Pu Sangzhi’s forceful ushering, slung his backpack over his shoulder and reluctantly trudged back to his place.
Pu Sangzhi pushed Huo Feng all the way to his front door, to prevent him from shamelessly staying over, she took the initiative this time and firmly pushed Huo Feng to his doorstep.
Her behavior, similar to chasing away a mouse, in driving Huo Feng out, made him especially heartbroken!
So, when they reached the door, Huo Feng turned around, spread his arms, and blocked the entrance, transforming into a wall of flesh, refusing to let her push him anymore.
Pu Sangzhi looked up at him, speechless, "Huo Feng."
Huo Feng looked down, spread his hands and said, "Give me some comfort, a hug."
Pu Sangzhi was even more speechless, "No. You should go home now."
Huo Feng paid her no attention, leaned over, and hugged her tightly.
"Hey... I said no touching..."
Pu Sangzhi was a bit helpless but didn’t push him away.
That’s right.
It was also because Pu Sangzhi’s tolerance towards Huo Feng had somehow changed.
This made Huo Feng smug, "Just a hug. The midterms are next week, consider it encouragement before the battle."
Pu Sangzhi said, "It’s only midterms, not that crucial. Keep a level head and don’t be too obsessed with success or failure. Otherwise, you might not perform well."
Huo Feng started to laugh, hugging her even tighter, "Ah, am I nervous... Never mind, let’s keep hugging, just for a bit longer..."
After speaking, he even tilted his head and rubbed his half face on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, taking every opportunity to take advantage of her!
Pu Sangzhi felt his increasingly unreasonable movements, a vein popping on her forehead, finally lost patience, and pushed him away!
And she pushed him right in the face, one hand on his chest and the other on his face, pushing as she stepped back, creating a distance between them...
Huo Feng: "What are you doing..."
Pu Sangzhi: "I’m disgusted by you."
Huo Feng: "..."
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and said, "You should go home now, hurry up!"
Huo Feng’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, "Hey, you’re in such a rush to get rid of me? Not at all friendly! Don’t you have any classmate affection? Can’t you show a bit more care for your boyfriend? Don’t you see I’m very nervous and really need some comfort and encouragement here!"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, "I can’t tell."
Huo Feng patted her head, "You devil! Always picking on me! You only pick on me, the easy target! Go ahead and try bullying other men if you dare!"
Listenting to his words, filled with a petulant and aggrieved tone, Pu Sangzhi found it extremely funny. Yet, she still ruthlessly pushed Huo Feng away, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. Hurry home and get some sleep. Tomorrow morning, memorize the key points I marked for you. You’re aiming for a 250 score!"
Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Look at you, even you know how arduous my task is, yet under such circumstances you actually don’t offer any encouragement. You should be the one to initiate a hug, a kiss, or maybe even a little puff puff. Instead, you’re just pushing me away?! You have no emotional quotient at all!"
Pu Sangzhi looked up at him, "I’ve always wanted to ask, what’s ’puff puff’?"
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to try it?"
Pu Sangzhi waved her hand in refusal, "No thanks! Please leave!"
Although she truly didn’t know what that ’puff puff’ was?
But just thinking about it, she knew, it couldn’t be anything good...
She’s still young; she can’t let Huo Feng corrupt her.
She also shouldn’t give Huo Feng the chance to lead her astray.
Huo Feng frowned, "You’re pushing me away again... Look, now you don’t even bother to talk to me properly any more. All I get from you every day is study, study, study... and now there’s an extra item, now you’re spending my money too!"
Pu Sangzhi asked, "Do you mind?"
"No no... absolutely not! I’m more than willing!"
Huo Feng quickly shook his head to deny, then nodded to confirm, adding an explanation, "What I mean is... I thought, we should have progressed by now. Sometimes, I feel like you really consider me one of your own, but other times, it feels like you’re still the same... So, what exactly do you think of me now? What’s our relationship? Give me a hint?"
Pu Sangzhi slightly narrowed her eyes, her clear pupils fixing on him, "If I tell you, will you leave?"
Huo Feng: "Sure! You’re dead set on getting rid of me, I can’t stick around anymore! Spill it quick..."
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and slowly said, "Right now, I’ve begun... to officially face your pursuit."
Huo Feng arched an eyebrow, "Huh?" What kind of explanation is that?
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Yeah."
Huo Feng: "Huh?" He didn’t get it!
Pu Sangzhi: "Yeah."
Huo Feng: "What? Clarify!" Was his IQ not enough?!
Pu Sangzhi chuckled softly, "It means, before, I only wanted to be your friend. From now on, I’m allowing you to pursue me. And then... try not to look at you with the eyes of just a friend."
Huo Feng’s eyebrow shot up, and a very distracting wrinkle formed on his forehead, "Oh..."
He seemed to get it a little...
But, is there a difference?
Before, she considered him a friend, but he never stopped pursuing her, did he?
And now, if he isn’t just a friend, what is he, if the boyfriend status isn’t official either? What is the term for this middle ground?
A male bestie?!
Huo Feng felt his usually sharp brain wasn’t quite up to the task!
"Alright! Now go home!"
Pu Sangzhi pushed his chest for the third time, "Hurry back, I want to lock the door and sleep."
Huo Feng was finally pushed out of the house, waved goodbye to her, and watched her lock the door.
It was after eight o’clock in the evening, and outside the house, the sky was pitch black.
Stepping out from Pu Sangzhi’s house, Huo Feng looked up at the dark blue sky and let out a long sigh.
"So what exactly is our relationship now?"
Huo Feng was still confused.
Allowing him to pursue her?
Allowing him... to pursue her?
Hadn’t she always allowed it?
Did her not spending his money before equate to not allowing him to pursue her?
So now that she spent his money, did that mean she allowed it?
Wait a second...
Is there a difference?
Huo Feng raised his head, unable to make sense of it no matter how hard he thought.
Men’s sensitivity towards emotions isn’t that delicate, so Huo Feng didn’t understand Pu Sangzhi’s thoughts.
Although he thought about it a lot on the way back, he still couldn’t figure it out.
In the end, Huo Feng gave up.
He decided to focus on the upcoming weekly test next week.
If he did well on the test, he could take the first step in his glorious future life! Then he could strive for his first official date!
Hmm...
So this time, he had to give it his all on the weekly test!
...
That night, after returning to his grandpa’s house, Huo Feng lay lazily on the sofa, holding the key notes that Pu Sangzhi had made for him.
Yawning as he read, he thought it was a pity he couldn’t show this tired appearance of his in front of Old Huo.
He? He should let Old Huo see just how diligent he was!
That way, Old Huo would feel ashamed and reflect on himself.
With this in mind, Huo Feng made a call that brought Shen Nuan scrambling downstairs.
Once Shen Nuan arrived in the living room, Huo Feng asked her to take out her phone and said, "Take a short video of me studying seriously and send it to my dad. Tell him, ’Huo Feng has been so diligent in his studies lately! Your family is going to produce a top scholar!’"
"What?"
Shen Nuan was shocked, her jaw almost dropping.
She thought: Isn’t this a bit too shameless?
Huo Feng, however, didn’t care at all and waved his hand, saying, "Hurry up, take it now, I’m getting sleepy."
Afterward, Shen Nuan obediently took a short video of Huo Feng lying on the sofa, reading, and sent it to Huo Mingshan.
The text with the video was exactly what Huo Feng had said: ’Huo Feng has been so diligent in his studies lately! Your family is going to produce a top scholar!’...
So pretentious and disgusting...
Shen Nuan expressed her endless disdain, "Buddy, you’re really getting better at pretending. I feel like I didn’t really know you before, but the more I get to know you, the more I feel that you... are utterly shameless!"
Huo Feng, lying lazily on the sofa, laughed, "The fact that you’re saying this means you still don’t understand me well enough. I’m clearly someone who will stop at nothing to save face!"
Shen Nuan’s mouth dropped open in surprise... It sounded so convincing!
It didn’t take long for Huo Mingshan to reply to Shen Nuan’s WeChat message.
Shen Nuan picked it up and burst into laughter!
"Big nephew! Your uncle says to stop using my phone to send WeChat messages! Haha!"
Shen Nuan laughed so hard she slapped her thigh, "Your uncle knows you too well huh!"
"Fuck! That damn old man!"
Huo Feng immediately darkened, pointing his finger, "Send a voice message back, say it’s really you!"
Shen Nuan picked up the phone and sent a voice reply, "Uncle, uncle, it’s Xiaonuan."
After sending it, the two of them dryly waited for a reply.
A few seconds later, Huo Mingshan sent back a WeChat message that made Shen Nuan fall over laughing again!
"Hahahaha! My goodness... haha!"
Shen Nuan laughed so hard she held her stomach, "Your uncle said to stop threatening me to say things I don’t mean!"
"I..."
Huo Feng got so mad he sat up straight on the sofa, "Fuck!"
In a fit of frustration, Huo Feng grabbed his phone and took the initiative to send a WeChat message to Huo Mingshan...
Huo Feng sent: ’Old Huo, want to bet? This time I will be within the top 250 on the monthly exam! No cheating, no peeping, pure skill! If I win, you take off your toupee and pick me up from here shining bright!’
After a while, Huo Mingshan replied.
A line of text: ’Brat, don’t get cocky, baldness is hereditary!’
He also added a ’making faces’ emoji!
In a single strike, the impact was huge. Huo Feng clutched his chest and collapsed backward, feeling deeply wounded!
