Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 206: She found that she was kind of into Huo Feng (3)

Pu Sangzhi had hardly finished her sentence when Huo Feng greeted her with a devilish smirk.

The corners of his lips tilted upwards, seemingly mocking, as if he had seen through her thoughts...

Pu Sangzhi felt her skin crawl under his smile and her gaze shifted awkwardly, before she said, "You know, that’s not what I meant..."

Huo Feng laughed and asked, "What did you mean?"

Pu Sangzhi fiddled with her tissue, "Just... whatever you’re thinking, that’s not it."

Huo Feng pressed with a smile, "What exactly are we talking about?"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but glare at him, raising her voice, "There’s no ’it’. You know that! Stop messing with me, I can’t outtalk you, okay?"

Huo Feng finally couldn’t hold back his laughter. He threw his head back and laughed heartily, his laughter bold and carefree.

Pu Sangzhi looked at him angrily as he laughed arrogantly, feeling that Huo Feng was far too self-satisfied.

"Hey!"

She called out to him, tapping on the homework on the table, "Enough with this, get on with your homework!"

Huo Feng deliberately wiped his face, unwilling to let the subject drop, "Do you realize how much of your saliva you just smeared on my face?"

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, feeling incredibly awkward from his comment.

Huo Feng opened his palm and held it up for her to see, "I’ve been taking care of you, attending to your every need. You sneeze on me, doesn’t your conscience hurt?"

Pu Sangzhi pressed her lips tightly and stared at him with her big, round eyes, "Well... it’s done, what exactly do you want?"

Huo Feng’s lips curled into a smile, "Stay over at your place tonight, I’ll take care of you, and you take care of me."

Pu Sangzhi realized his purpose, "So you just want to stay overnight at my place!"

Huo Feng nodded, "Right, I want to stay here. Besides, originally the chances of me catching a cold while waiting at your door at midnight were 60%. Now that you’ve sneezed on me, the chances have increased to over 90%! I’ve got to be honest, my throat is starting to feel sore now, you should take full responsibility, you know?"

Pu Sangzhi, "Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Huo Feng pinched his throat and coughed twice, pretending to be in distress, "It really does feel sore; it’s over, your virus is too strong. I might not be able to take it~"

Pu Sangzhi slapped his hand away in annoyance.

After slapping, she huffed, her lips pursed and cheeks slightly puffed out in a sulky demeanor.

Huo Feng watched her with amusement, "Okay, I’ll stop teasing you. So, can I stay over tonight or not?"

Finally, he became serious.

After his constant teasing, Pu Sangzhi suddenly found it hard to say no, feeling guilty, "Was it serious when you said you’d go to the internet café? And waiting outside at midnight, were you just kidding with me about that?"

Huo Feng shook his head, "No, that’s not false. If I said I’d come in the middle of the night, I definitely would come, and this isn’t the first time I’ve waited for you like this. Moreover, there’s a certain... nice feeling to waiting like this. Even though I wait for a long time, it oddly feels quite satisfying..."

As he spoke, Huo Feng touched his chest, his face wearing a faint smile, looking completely content.

These earnest words made Pu Sangzhi believe he wasn’t lying.

Pu Sangzhi actually didn’t want him to wait outside her house in the middle of the night.

She would have preferred not to know.

If she had known he was outside her door in the middle of the night, she would have definitely let him in.

Like that night, when he stood smoking under the streetlight, his figure seemed so lonely and forlorn, provoking pity.

Pu Sangzhi was silent for a while and, in the end, somewhat conceded without realizing, "I’ll talk to my mom, you can stay over tonight."

Huo Feng saw her compromise.

At that moment, his heart silently set off firecrackers, as lively as the New Year.

Huo Feng felt particularly happy, filled with a sense of accomplishment!

Because, he had once again persuaded Pu Sangzhi with his eloquence!

"You see, I knew you cared about me..." Huo Feng blew her a kiss.

Pu Sangzhi rolled her eyes at him, saying impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense, get on with the homework."

Huo Feng, "Got it! Doing it right away!"

Then, Huo Feng obediently picked up a pen and began to diligently work on the problems.

After Huo Feng started on his homework, the room fell silent for a while.

He remained quiet, and so Pu Sangzhi did not initiate conversation. With both of them silent, the room was hushed, the only sound being the scratching of his pen on the paper.

While Huo Feng worked on his homework, Pu Sangzhi sat beside him reading.

She was quiet and calm, occasionally glancing at Huo Feng as he concentrated on his work.

Seeing Huo Feng studying so seriously, Pu Sangzhi silently cheered for him in her heart: Keep it up.

Lately, Pu Sangzhi had also noticed that Huo Feng’s attitude towards studying had become much more diligent.

Perhaps because the stakes of the top 250 bet were too alluring, he was willing to dedicate so much effort to win those rewards.

No matter what, Pu Sangzhi had witnessed a significant change in his study attitude over this period of time.

Such a Huo Feng made her feel very reassured.

Pu Sangzhi was also gradually beginning to hold hope...

She hoped that Huo Feng would be able to get into Tsinghua.

As she had said before, if he got into Tsinghua, she might be willing to date him.

Because by now, she had realized herself that she had started to like him a little bit.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have repeatedly dreamed about marrying him, about having him in her future.

No matter how the dream ended, no matter how absurd the process was, it was true that in her dreams, she was moved by Huo Feng, and she even took the final step with him...

Pu Sangzhi might not fully understand her own heart, or perhaps she understood just a little bit...

But no matter what, she now began to expect something from Huo Feng.

She hoped that Huo Feng could get into Tsinghua with her.

Together...

...

That evening, Huo Feng really did stay over at her house.

Pu Sangzhi was too embarrassed to bring this matter up with Chen Huifen, so it was Huo Feng who went to talk to Chen Huifen about it.

Chen Huifen was very easily convinced by Huo Feng.

A few kind words from Huo Feng, a warm smile, and Chen Huifen found it very difficult to refuse this sunny and cheerful young man.

One could say that Chen Huifen’s approval was far too easy for Huo Feng to obtain.

The most difficult barrier he had ever faced in his life was Pu Sangzhi...

Other than Pu Sangzhi, he was not afraid of anyone else, including his own family’s Elder Huo...

During dinner, Huo Feng brought out the black chicken stew that had been simmering all afternoon, filling a large bowl for Pu Sangzhi.

Originally, Pu Sangzhi, with a sore throat, had no interest in the greasy chicken soup, but when Huo Feng’s pot of chicken soup was served, she drank quite a bit.

He had a special knack for stewing soups!

During the meal, Huo Feng went on and on about the entire process of stewing this bowl of black chicken soup.

First, he blanched the black chicken with boiling water, skimming off a layer of chicken fat and foam, retaining the essence.

Then, he stewed it with dry shiitake mushrooms, corn, and other ingredients, which helped absorb the fat, so when the pot of chicken soup was done, it looked light and not very oily.

And, it tasted particularly good as well.

The freshness of the ingredients overpowered the amount of seasoning used; in short, it was so delicious that Pu Sangzhi drank three bowls in one go, focusing more on the soup than the meal itself.

Chen Huifen also praised Huo Feng for the well-made soup, and drank two bowls herself.

In the end, the big pot of chicken soup was completely finished by the three of them in one meal.

Such an achievement also made Huo Feng very proud.

Huo Feng was very diligent.

After dinner, he took the initiative to wash the dishes, and also swept and mopped the floor, dusted the furniture, spending over two hours to finish a heap of household chores.

He knew that these were things Pu Sangzhi would definitely do at home.

If Huo Feng finished these tasks earlier, then Pu Sangzhi would have a lighter load of chores to do.

She was already sick, and Huo Feng didn’t want her to overexert herself.

However, Huo Feng wasn’t going to waste a good opportunity to fish for compliments.

So, after finishing his chores, the first thing he did was to go around Pu Sangzhi, deliberately telling her, "Sangzhi, I just swept the living room, the kitchen, mopped the floor, and even wiped down the furniture. Now your house is spick and span, every single thing as shiny as glass!..."

He stopped mid-sentence, clamping his mouth shut as he forced himself to stop babbling his request for recognition.

Because he saw that Pu Sangzhi had already laid down on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

She was holding a book in her hands, curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly...

Huo Feng tiptoed into the room, approached the bed, and quietly took the book she was holding, lifting it for a look.

Hmm, it was a famous foreign novel...

Still reading while sick, truly an odd one.

Huo Feng murmured to himself, his lips quirking quietly. freewebnσvel.cøm

After that, he tucked Pu Sangzhi’s arms inside the blanket, neatly arranging the bedding for her.

Doing such tasks, looking at her sleeping peacefully, Huo Feng’s eyes were filled with tenderness...

In fact, the reason he so forcefully wanted to stay was just to do these little things for her.
