Chapter 283: 277, plan to spend the New Year together with Sangzhi! (5)

Huo Feng was angry today because of jealousy.

It was precisely because Huo Feng was angry that Pu Sangzhi truly felt how much she cared about his feelings.

She realized that she was indeed growing fonder of Huo Feng.

She didn’t know when it had started...

But as soon as she admitted it to herself, the deeper she sank...

Pu Sangzhi now, would dare to tell anyone: her fondness for Huo Feng.

However, she just couldn’t tell Huo Feng this fact.

Because she still wanted to maintain that distance, she wasn’t ready to advance their relationship, to become a couple.

Like now, it was enough to have someone in her heart, to like someone.

Pu Sangzhi felt that her current state was good...

Maintaining a relationship that’s more than friendship but not yet love allowed them to progress together, ensuring Huo Feng wouldn’t lose interest in her too quickly.

High school days were long, and it was only the first semester of freshman year.

There was still a long way to go in these three years.

Therefore, Pu Sangzhi set a bottom line for herself.

That was: to start dating after graduating high school.

She felt a bit happy.

Now...

At this very moment...

Pu Sangzhi, with her chin propped up in her hands, said to Chen Huifen, "Today, I ran into Brother Ye Xi. He originally asked me to hang out tonight, but Huo Feng got mad. You know how Huo Feng is, when he gets angry, he really makes a fuss!"

Chen Huifen listened and laughed lightly, "So he bullied you?"

"Hmm..."

Pu Sangzhi shook her head: "Not exactly bullying. In short, he was just pouting and showed me a grim face. He’s never been like this with me before, so today, I was actually a bit upset by him."

Chen Huifen asked, "Then how did he bully you?"

Pu Sangzhi thought for a moment, "He didn’t bully me. It seems like I am the one bullying him..."

Hearing this, Chen Huifen laughed again, "I knew it would be like this."

"Mom..."

Pu Sangzhi suddenly became serious, "You really think he’s not bad, right? Do you really think so?"

Because in her heart, she had somewhat settled on Huo Feng.

Thus, Pu Sangzhi sometimes still wanted to hear others’ affirmations.

For example, her mother’s affirmation would make her even more certain of the decision she had just made.

Or if her mother were to disapprove, it would cause the decision she had just made to waver.

Of course, Chen Huifen was supportive of Huo Feng.

Therefore, Chen Huifen’s response was, "Huo Feng is a boy without faults in mom’s eyes. Time will prove everything, you can take your time with him. If you can go the distance, you will definitely be happy."

Pu Sangzhi heard her mother use the words ’happy’ to plan her life.

Suddenly, she felt even more certain about Huo Feng!

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Then I’ll observe a bit more. Slowly, we have three years of high school anyway."

Chen Huifen agreed, "Yes, three years. Don’t rush, and don’t let him speed up your pace. A relationship that can withstand the test of time will go much further."

Pu Sangzhi: "Mom, do you mean that we absolutely should not date in high school, right?"

Chen Huifen’s brows furrowed slightly: "Actually, that’s your own thought."

Pu Sangzhi "hehe" laughed...

In the end, Chen Huifen said, "Mom respects every decision you make."

Pu Sangzhi, with joy, leaned her head to the side, resting it on Chen Huifen’s leg, "Mom, I suddenly feel that life is so happy now."

She truly hoped that this tranquil and stable happiness could last forever.

Forever and ever...

...

Tonight, Huo Feng was also in high spirits.

After leaving Pu Sangzhi’s house, Huo Feng rode his electric scooter, unusually, back to his own home.

No, it should be said Huo Mingshan’s home.

The reason for returning was, firstly, to get the cosplay costume he planned to wear tomorrow, and secondly, to see his mom, Shen Yu.

Huo Feng had lived at his maternal grandfather Shen Jianhua’s house for a long time.

Having not been home for such a long period, he truly missed Shen Yu.

Just now, when Pu Sangzhi was fussing about telling her mom, Huo Feng also thought of his own mom!

Of course, he didn’t want to complain to her about his problems.

He just had some manly confessions to share with her.

Huo Feng arrived at Mingzhu Building at 8:30 in the evening.

At this hour, Huo Mingshan and Shen Yu were still awake.

When Huo Feng suddenly used his key to enter, the rustling sound of the keys startled Huo Mingshan, who was watching TV in the living room.

As the door opened and Huo Feng’s face came into Huo Mingshan’s view, Huo Mingshan had just relaxed a bit, but then immediately rolled his eyes in a habitual manner, "Stinky kid, you still know your way home!"

After switching to slippers, Huo Feng walked into the house with ease, deliberately coming up to Huo Mingshan to shake around and block his TV.

"What!"

Sitting with arms crossed like a Maitreya Buddha, Huo Mingshan commanded, "If you’ve got nothing to do, scram."

"Old Huo."

In a half-joking tone, Huo Feng planted one hand on his hip and pointed at Huo Mingshan with disdain, "Look at yourself, with that middle-aged bulge. Get up and exercise or in a few years you’ll turn into an O-shape!"

"What are you blabbering about, you stinky kid!"

Huo Mingshan’s temper flared up easily with just that comment, "Back to argue, are we? If you’ve got nothing else, scram!"

Huo Feng snorted, "Where’s mom?"

Inhaling angrily through his nose, Huo Mingshan grumpily replied, "Taking a bath."

Afterward, Huo Feng ignored Huo Mingshan and turned to head to his room.

Watching Huo Feng leave, Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but gaze after him, still feeling a bit disgruntled, "Stinky kid, finally comes home once and can’t even call out ’Dad’."

Huo Mingshan’s voice carried a hint of anger and a touch of sadness as he spoke.

In fact, Huo Mingshan did want Huo Feng’s respect and hoped to mend their father-son relationship—as long as Huo Feng would promise not to torment his excellent student...

Once back in his room, Huo Feng quickly started searching for his cosplay outfit in the wardrobe.

He had to show off his looks and physique at the comic convention tomorrow, especially in front of his girlfriend...

Huo Feng had to treat this comic convention with the utmost seriousness!

In his collection of cosplay outfits, some were of relatively robust anime characters, while others were characters from video games.

For aesthetic reasons, after some deliberation, Huo Feng chose a costume of Li Bai from Honor of Kings.

He had just acquired this outfit earlier this year, intending to wear it at the summer comic convention.

But it was so hot in the summer, and with the outfit having multiple layers plus the crowded and stifling convention center...

So, after bringing it there, Huo Feng ended up taking it all off within half an hour, miserably retreating to a corner to cool down.

Considering the crowded convention center where temperatures would surely be high,

this season would be perfect for wearing it!

Huo Feng took the outfit out of the wardrobe and tried it on then and there.

He took off his own clothes, put on the Li Bai cosplay, and began adjusting in front of the mirror...

Suddenly, the door to the room was flung open by Huo Mingshan.

Huo Mingshan walked in with a frown, looking at him with disdain, "There you go again, messing with all this nonsense! I reckon this is as good as your life gets!"

It seemed that Huo Mingshan could never utter a word about Huo Feng without a biting edge.

Being Huo Feng’s father, Huo Mingshan also had the ability to infuriate Huo Feng to the core.

This was a very clear case of genetic inheritance!

Huo Feng scowled back, "What’s it to you! I’m doing my own thing and it’s not bothering you one bit!"

Huo Mingshan huffed and shut the door behind him.

"What are you doing here!"

Huo Feng asked him, "I surely don’t have anything to talk about with you."

Huo Mingshan felt like he was about to explode with anger at Huo Feng.

But!

Huo Mingshan forcefully contained the insult from his son and stayed in the room!

"What do you want with your mom?" Huo Mingshan took the initiative to ask.

Huo Feng glanced over with disdain, "What do you mean..."

Huo Mingshan sat himself down on Huo Feng’s bed and began, "When do you plan to move back from your grandfather’s?"

Huo Feng made his position clear, "Wishful thinking. I’m too busy this winter break, no time for chores."

Huo Mingshan took a deep breath, reminding himself to contain his anger!

Then, after calming down a bit, he continued, "I’m not asking you to do chores. Just wondering, are you coming back for the New Year? Don’t tell me you plan to spend it at your grandfather’s place, too?"

The New Year was a significant occasion for the Chinese.

Normally, Huo Mingshan could ignore his unruly son.

But on such an important day as the New Year, Huo Mingshan still hoped the family of three could gather together.

Otherwise, with just him and Shen Yu eating at the table, the house would feel desolate.

"I have somewhere to go for New Year’s."

Without any sentiment, Huo Feng replied, "I might consider coming back to live for a couple of days after the New Year."

This New Year... Huo Feng wanted to go to Pu Sangzhi’s house to spend it with her and her mother.
