Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 214 - 208. In the early morning, peek at Huo Feng! (2)

Sunday was the second day of Pu Sangzhi’s menstrual cycle.

She had always suffered from dysmenorrhea, hence she was awakened early in the morning by the throbbing pain in her lower abdomen.

Around six-thirty, Pu Sangzhi awoke with furrowed brows. Subconsciously, she clutched her stomach and curled up slightly, shrinking into a shrimp shape in the cocoon of her blankets.

Unintentionally, Pu Sangzhi moved her feet, but at that moment, she realized they were immobilized.

Pulling back a little, she remembered that last night, perhaps Huo Feng had noticed her feet were cold, so he had held them against his abdomen to warm them.

Now, his hands were still tightly holding her small feet.

Therefore, her feet were warm, her body was also warm, and the only discomfort came from the rumbling and distension in her abdomen.

Pu Sangzhi gave up struggling and lay quietly in bed for a while...

By then, she was fully awake and as she glanced up, she saw Huo Feng’s face up close, magnified manifold.

He was still asleep, resting peacefully and quietly, devoid of his usual mischief.

Pu Sangzhi surprisingly didn’t wake Huo Feng, didn’t call out to him, push him away, or feel like kicking him out of bed.

Instead, she just lay there quietly, closely observing the serene and uncharacteristic Huo Feng.

Huo Feng was indeed very good-looking.

His reasonably small face featured handsome and well-defined characteristics: stern eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips that complemented everything just right.

Pu Sangzhi thought that such features, in terms of aesthetics, must score high, right?

His thick black hair was a mess, slightly covering his bushy eyebrows, and his appearance was truly resilient and handsome...

However, Pu Sangzhi still felt he looked the best when he smiled.

His smile was infectious, with bright and orderly white teeth, and when he smiled, the curvature of his brows and mouth complemented each other, imparting a clean and toothy grin.

Pu Sangzhi watched quietly, and before she knew it, she pursed her lips and gave a light laugh.

It was at this moment that she suddenly realized she might have developed feelings for Huo Feng.

Because right now, looking at Huo Feng’s sleeping face and facing such an undisciplined person, she felt no hint of blame but an inexplicable sense of happiness and security.

Pu Sangzhi wondered: Was this feeling like? Or was it just because of the sense of security he had given her these past few days?

Are feelings of security the same as feelings of affection?

Pu Sangzhi was a bit confused.

Then she wondered, could it be because she had lacked a sense of security for so long that when Huo Feng provided it, she mistook it for affection towards him?

But could it actually not be affection but rather a sense of security? Or even a sense of dependency?

Pu Sangzhi was genuinely baffled because she didn’t know what affection was supposed to feel like.

And this feeling towards Huo Feng was different from the emotions she once had for Brother Ye Xi.

What exactly was different, she couldn’t pinpoint.

Her thoughts twisted into a knot, and for the time that followed, she would inevitably sink into solving this complex emotional puzzle.

Around seven-thirty, Huo Feng also sleepily woke up.

He was quiet during sleep and remained quiet upon waking, so much so that Pu Sangzhi, lost in her thoughts with the blankets in her grasp, didn’t even notice he had awoken.

Huo Feng saw Pu Sangzhi staring straight at his chest with unblinking eyes, as if she was going to bore a hole right through it.

He raised an eyebrow, parted his lips, and interrupted her trance, "Good morning." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Pu Sangzhi shuddered, startled by him in that instant!

Huo Feng stretched his arms out, taking an extremely lazy yawn, and spoke in a languid voice, "Sangzhi, I didn’t sleep too well last night~"

Regaining her senses, Pu Sangzhi inevitably gave him a glare and promptly drew back her legs, reclaiming her feet!

"You still had the nerve to not sleep well when it was you who took all the advantages!" she retorted irritably at Huo Feng.

Huo Feng turned over and continued to stretch, sighing, "I really didn’t. In the middle of the night, someone kept talking in her sleep, hands and feet cold, continuously clinging to me. I gave you the blankets yet it wasn’t enough, you had to kick me in the stomach. I pushed you away only for you to kick me again, over and over! In the end, I had no choice but to restrain those little feet of yours!"

Pu Sangzhi’s expression immediately stiffened, and she looked up, slightly embarrassed, giving him a glance, "Is that... so?"

She found it hard to believe. She kicked him?

If not you, then who else?"

Huo Feng let out a long breath, turned to look at her with a sparkling gaze, and asked, "Tell me, why do you always have nightmares? What goes through that little head of yours during the day?"

While saying this, Huo Feng tapped her forehead with a finger.

Pu Sangzhi, caught off guard by his question, looked nonplussed and was at a loss for words.

She didn’t know either, why she always had nightmares.

Maybe it was related to her past experiences. Since the days she was drifting, her sleep quality had never been good.

Almost every night she had dreams, sometimes pleasant, sometimes nightmares, and sometimes just confusing ones that she couldn’t recall upon waking.

However, these recent nights, with Huo Feng beside her, Pu Sangzhi did feel that her sleep quality had improved.

She couldn’t remember if she had any dreams last night, but she remembered waking up once. And when she woke, she found herself in Huo Feng’s embrace.

She should have pushed him away, but he was so warm, like a natural furnace, so she couldn’t bring herself to do it, and just snuggled in for a bit of warmth.

"What are you thinking about?"

Huo Feng saw that Pu Sangzhi hadn’t spoken for a while, as if she was lost in thought, so he leaned down, his head inching closer to hers.

But as soon as he moved closer, Pu Sangzhi reflexively pulled back and nervously replied, "Nothing."

Huo Feng pressed his lips together and smiled, "Hey, we slept in the same bed last night."

Pu Sangzhi warned, "Don’t get any weird ideas!"

Huo Feng rolled over again, propping his head with one hand, and looked at her proudly, "You’re so beautiful when you’re asleep, just like Sleeping Beauty, really wanted to give you a kiss."

Pu Sangzhi’s cheeks flushed instantly, she pulled up the blanket to cover half of her face, staying silent.

Seeing her shy expression, Huo Feng couldn’t resist teasing her further, "How do you feel about sleeping with me? My body’s so warm, it must be comfortable, right?"

Pu Sangzhi felt that they shouldn’t continue on this topic...

She tried hard to recall all of her memories from last night, and although it was indeed warm and cozy, she still steeled herself and said, "It wasn’t comfortable!"

Yet Huo Feng countered, "Hey, don’t deny it. You cuddled up to my feet so nicely last night, and you even talked in your sleep! Said it was very comfortable!" He was teasing her...

Pu Sangzhi retorted, "I... I didn’t."

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean now? Pretending not to understand? Denying it? Not taking responsibility after waking up?"

Pu Sangzhi protested, "Hey, who expects a girl to take responsibility?"

Huo Feng’s lips curved into a smirk, "Well, if you won’t take responsibility, then I’ll just have to do it."

Pu Sangzhi firmly refused, "No way!"

By now, Pu Sangzhi understood that Huo Feng was scheming against her!

She immediately put up a finger to warn him, "I know what you’re up to, don’t go any deeper into this topic! From now on, I don’t want to hear a single word about last night!"

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "The lady doth protest too much?"

Pu Sangzhi kicked him with her foot, "Shut up and get up! I’m hungry!"

Hearing her mention hunger, Huo Feng had nothing else to say. He could only roll out of bed, and as he put on his shoes, he said, "Sigh, I’ll go make breakfast. Noodles again today?"

Pu Sangzhi answered, "Mm."

Huo Feng suggested, "I’ll call you after I’ve made it. Just lie in bed a little longer."

Pu Sangzhi murmured, "Mm..."

After Huo Feng put on his shoes, he straightened up the blankets on the bed, piling them all on top of Pu Sangzhi.

After taking care of all this, he finally turned and left the room.

Pu Sangzhi curled up in bed, massaging her slightly uncomfortable abdomen, all the while staring with wide, gleaming eyes at the bedroom door.

Huo Feng had left...

Finally, her eyes couldn’t see him anymore.

Pu Sangzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the tension in her heart gradually easing.

Next, she spent a long time trying to recall the events of last night...

Her mind held not even a flicker of such memories.

Pu Sangzhi thought for a while, but just couldn’t remember.

She felt like she might have blacked out.

...

On Sunday, after eating the breakfast Huo Feng had cooked, they both quickly entered review mode.

In the afternoon, Lin Qianqian joined them for the study session.

The rhythm of life was the same as usual.

At five-thirty in the evening, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng together headed off to school.

Huo Feng wrapped the scarf she had given him around his neck and offered half to Pu Sangzhi, but she refused.

"I don’t want to wear that. It’s got a smell; you should wash it," Pu Sangzhi said, expressing her disdain for the scarf Huo Feng had worn for only a week.

Huo Feng sniffed his scarf, indeed detecting a scent.

He frowned, "Sigh, just one isn’t enough, it needs to be washed and changed!"

Pu Sangzhi acted as if she hadn’t heard.

They walked a few steps, then after a few seconds of silence, Huo Feng nudged her with his elbow, hinting, "Hey, one isn’t enough."

Pu Sangzhi had already understood his hint but she didn’t want to respond!

Huo Feng repeated loudly for the third time, "I said, one isn’t enough!"

Pu Sangzhi stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath...

Thinking to herself: This guy is asking for it!
