Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 233 - 227. Sister-in-law, save Brother Feng! (1)

After Lin Yuhao’s instruction, a brand-new "Set up Pu Sangzhi, Save Brother Huo" plan was formulated.

The 10 of them stayed in Huo Feng’s dorm until 10:30 at night.

Only when the lights went out did everyone start to scatter...

Huo Feng lay in bed alone, unable to sleep, tossing and turning, sighing continuously.

For Huo Feng, tonight was destined to be a sleepless one.

Growing up, Huo Feng had never experienced such a setback; this was the first time and the hardest.

In the past, he had almost always met the various academic goals he set for himself, never missing any.

But this time, the blow was really big enough to hurt him badly.

In the dark dormitory, Huo Feng’s sighs could be heard from time to time...

"Sigh..."

"Sigh..."

"Sigh..."

About every few minutes he sighed, and from this sorrowful tone, it was evident that Huo Feng was truly feeling low.

And indeed, Huo Feng had fallen into self-doubt and self-blame...

He began to doubt his own abilities and blamed himself for not studying harder. The fault for his poor performance was all on him, and Huo Feng really couldn’t blame anyone else.

That night, Huo Feng hardly slept and simply couldn’t close his eyes.

The whole person... was very downhearted!

...

The next day, the results of the third monthly test were distributed to all students.

Pu Sangzhi unsurprisingly ranked first overall and her scores continued to be so excellent that they were nearly perfect, far ahead of the second place.

Pu Sangzhi was not at all surprised by her own scores; this time in the test, she only cared about Huo Feng’s scores.

During early self-study, when the monthly test results were distributed to everyone, Pu Sangzhi had already prepared, waiting for Huo Feng to come to her and tell her the good news.

Because, yesterday during the day, Huo Feng had repeatedly told her that he would definitely come to see her as soon as he got his results.

Even though Pu Sangzhi appeared nonchalant yesterday, she was actually quite looking forward to Huo Feng arriving.

However, Huo Feng did not come.

He didn’t come during the first period break...

He didn’t come during the second period break...

He didn’t show up during the third period break either...

Instead, the person who appeared at the doorway of Pu Sangzhi’s classroom was Huo Feng’s brother, Pan Bo.

Pan Bo pulled Pu Sangzhi out of the classroom and into a corner, checking to make sure nobody was around, then hesitantly said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Feng is in trouble."

Pu Sangzhi vaguely guessed that something must have happened.

Otherwise, she knew that with Huo Feng’s temperament, he would crawl over to find her if he had to.

Pu Sangzhi asked, "What happened to him?"

"Brother Feng..."

Pan Bo furrowed his brows and sighed, "He messed up his exam."

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi was a bit shocked.

Possibly because Huo Feng had been so confident in front of her, Pu Sangzhi had taken for granted that he would have done well.

To her surprise, he had actually messed it up.

However, beyond her initial shock, Pu Sangzhi didn’t show much of a reaction, she merely continued to ask, "And then?"

At this, Pan Bo sighed again, "Because of the bad results, Brother Feng has been gloomy since last night, his mood has been very down."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Hmm... it’s expected when one doesn’t do well academically. You should talk to him."

Pan Bo couldn’t help showing distress, "Ah, since last night, Brother Feng has been like a changed person. He hasn’t spoken to us, and he doesn’t respond when we talk to him. Until this morning, he has been by himself, looking really bad."

In short, Pan Bo was trying to make Huo Feng sound as pitiable as possible, to gain Pu Sangzhi’s sympathy.

However, Pu Sangzhi didn’t seem to think much of the situation.

She instead said quite naturally, "Maybe he’s reflecting on himself. Let him think alone for a while; once he figures it out, he’ll be fine."

This indifferent attitude of Pu Sangzhi made Pan Bo feel embarrassed.

However, Pan Bo’s task was just to say these few words, and after that, he had to leave.

"Sister-in-law, I just wanted to tell you about Brother Feng’s situation. After being with him for so long, I’ve never seen him this disheartened. We brothers are out of options, if Brother Feng really can’t get over it, we can only count on you, sister-in-law..." Pan Bo said.

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, reassuring him, "It’s okay, he can adjust himself, it’s not a big deal."

"It seems like a big deal..."

Pan Bo then whispered, "Because of a date!"

Pu Sangzhi immediately felt awkward.

"That... that’s not really a big deal either."

Pu Sangzhi’s mouth twitched slightly, "Anyway, let him adjust by himself. As for exams, one must accept these ups and downs; it can’t always go smoothly."

Pan Bo saw that she was still so heartless and had no choice but to give up, "Okay, sister-in-law, then I’ll leave first."

Pu Sangzhi: "Mmm."

Thus, Pu Sangzhi waved goodbye to Pan Bo.

After Pan Bo left, Pu Sangzhi slowly withdrew her hand, her gaze somewhat lost as she looked ahead...

A while later, she slowly sighed, "Ah..."

To be honest, Huo Feng didn’t do well on the exam, and she was a bit disappointed.

But she couldn’t show her disappointment in front of Pan Bo because she knew that Huo Feng must be feeling the worst at this time; she couldn’t add more pressure on him.

As for the date being canceled... Pu Sangzhi was actually quite happy about it!

At the very least, she could avoid a bunch of troublesome matters!

Like choosing clothes, learning makeup...

Thinking about it this way, Pu Sangzhi even felt a bit happy!

...

It just so happened that today was Christmas Eve.

It’s popular to give Snake Fruit on Christmas Eve, and the little shop’s Snake Fruit was also extremely expensive today, selling for 15 yuan each including the packaging.

Pu Sangzhi would definitely not buy such an extravagant item, so she never thought about participating in this holiday.

Originally, she thought that Huo Feng would spend Christmas Eve with her because he had planned these two days long ago.

But now that Huo Feng had bombed his exams, he probably didn’t have the face to see her.

So Pu Sangzhi thought that this year’s Christmas Eve and Christmas, she would probably spend it with Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao.

In the afternoon, a ’Snake Fruit craze’ officially swept through the class...

Many students had already started giving each other Snake Fruit, and those boxed Snake Fruits gradually appeared on the desktops.

Although Pu Sangzhi said she wouldn’t participate in this holiday, many classmates still gave her Snake Fruit.

Both male and female classmates did so, and men were in the majority! They made up the bulk!

As the new generation campus belle, it was not surprising that Pu Sangzhi had such popularity.

Almost from the moment she arrived in the classroom in the afternoon, classmates continuously came up to give her Snake Fruit, wishing her a Merry Christmas Eve!

Pu Sangzhi would refuse as much as she could, and only accepted them when she really couldn’t refuse. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

After accepting them, she felt quite embarrassed. Because she didn’t have money to return a 15 yuan Snake Fruit to them.

All in all, Christmas Eve was quite lively around Pu Sangzhi.

The festive spirit surrounded her...

With that warm festive atmosphere, Pu Sangzhi made time to deliver the gifts she had bought earlier for Huo Mingshan and his son.

A fountain pen and Chinese calligraphy practice poster were given to Huo Mingshan and his son, along with a Snake Fruit.

Of course, the Snake Fruit Pu Sangzhi gave was one given to her by her classmates; she simply reused it as a festive decoration for Huo Mingshan.

Huo Mingshan was very happy to receive the gifts, especially since Pu Sangzhi’s exam results were still outstanding, he was very pleased with her.

Beyond that...

In this extremely warm holiday of the bitter winter, some who usually would be very lively were as quiet as if they were dead today.

Pu Sangzhi hardly saw Huo Feng all day...

In the afternoon during the break after the second period, Wang Chao came to inform her about Huo Feng’s situation.

During the break of the third period, Gu Yang also sought her out.

All of them, coming to her repeatedly, said the same thing: Huo Feng was in a bad mood and had become withdrawn.

Pu Sangzhi originally wanted to say to let Huo Feng adjust his emotions by himself, but his friends continually coming to her for help made it difficult for her to feel at ease.

After school in the afternoon, Lin Yuhao also came over.

Lin Yuhao carried a mature air, so his words carried some weight with Pu Sangzhi.

Lin Yuhao didn’t start with Huo Feng’s situation when he came but asked her directly, "Sister-in-law, wouldn’t you go to see Bro Feng?"

Pu Sangzhi, being asked so directly, felt a bit embarrassed.

She then asked back, "Is he still not better?"

Lin Yuhao shook his head, his brows tightened, "His condition is very bad. It’s one thing not to talk to us, but he hardly ate all day. He’s been sprawled on his desk all day, barely alive, and I don’t know if he has cried or not."

"No way..."

Pu Sangzhi was astonished, "It’s just a bad exam; there’s no need to cry, right?"

Lin Yuhao sighed, "I think the exam was just the trigger. It’s probably the canceled date that really got him down."

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Lin Yuhao: "Sister-in-law, if you have time, please go and talk to Bro Feng. He might only listen to your words."

Pu Sangzhi: "I..."

Lin Yuhao added, "In his heart, you weigh more than anyone else. If it were not about you, he wouldn’t care about anything else."

After these words were said, Pu Sangzhi’s heart instantly softened like water.

Then, she nodded, "Okay. I’ll go see him..."
