Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 319 - 312, young man, take care of my daughter! (1)

Huo Feng was silent for a while...

After a mental brainstorm, he finally figured out the reason for his anger!

"So, you didn’t spend New Year’s with me but went to celebrate it with that mutt Ye Xi?" Huo Feng asked.

After he asked, Pu Sangzhi knew, the jealousy was coming.

Just as she was hesitating on how to calm his anger, fortunately, her father came back at this very moment!

Returning at this critical juncture, like a savior!

"Xiaosang."

As soon as Pu Wenhua arrived, he called out Pu Sangzhi’s name, asserting his presence.

The conversation between Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng was abruptly interrupted, both of their gazes shifting to Pu Wenhua.

Huo Feng, adept at showing off himself, quickly propped himself on the bed to sit up.

About to call out when he remembered Pu Sangzhi saying her father didn’t like chatterboxes, Huo Feng opened his mouth then closed it again, holding back a bunch of sycophantic words!

Pu Wenhua, with two bags of buns and milk in hand, stepped forward and handed them to Pu Sangzhi, "Eat something first. I’ll go pay the fees later, and then we can be discharged together."

"Thanks, Dad."

Pu Sangzhi took the buns and milk, then passed another serving to Huo Feng.

At that moment, Pu Wenhua pulled up a chair, seated himself, and with one hand on the nightstand, settled into a heavy silence for a while.

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng both intently focused on him, sensing his serious demeanor; both felt a touch of nervousness and dared not speak.

Realizing the two kids were watching him, Pu Wenhua’s serious expression gradually softened and he spoke in a gentle tone, "Ah, go ahead and eat, don’t look at me like that."

"Dad..."

Pu Sangzhi pinched the bun in her hand and said with slightly furrowed brows, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

Pu Wenhua raised his hand, saying, "Eat your food. After you’re done, I’ll take you home, then I’ll be leaving."

"Dad!"

Pu Sangzhi raised her voice as if startled, "I just saw you..."

She had seen him the previous night but hardly exchanged any words...

Pu Sangzhi was very reluctant to accept such a rapid separation. But...

"It’s okay. It’s good that we saw each other..."

Pu Wenhua said with a light smile, "Given the difficult circumstances, I should not have come back, to begin with."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, stayed quiet for a while, then softly said, "Dad..."

At this point, Pu Wenhua was perhaps unable to face Pu Sangzhi’s expectant gaze and thus turned his attention to Huo Feng, giving him a look.

Just one look from him was enough to make Huo Feng’s body tingle with alertness. He immediately sat up straight, "Dad... no, Uncle..."

Damn...

Huo Feng really couldn’t help cursing himself internally.

What the hell, he had blurted out ’Dad’ in an instant...

This was how desperately impatient he was!

Feeling embarrassed!

Pu Wenhua stared at Huo Feng with a not-so fierce gaze for a while, then spoke, "Young man, trouble you to take care of my Xiaosang."

"Ah..."

Huo Feng nodded dumbly, "Of course..."

For some reason, this prospective father-in-law made him nervous, robbing him of his usual confidence and proud communicative abilities.

Pu Wenhua lowered his head, let out a light sigh, and said in a low voice, "Actually, as a senior, I don’t really want Xiaosang to get so close to boys at this age, nor do I want her to date in high school."

Huo Feng quickly interjected, "Uncle, there’s definitely nothing like that. I’m just pursuing Sangzhi, but we’re not in a relationship. Sangzhi is very well-behaved, she takes very good care of herself, and also, I think that high school is the time to study hard. So now, that is, I don’t have that idea anymore..."

As he spoke, Huo Feng became nervous.

Pu Sangzhi could hear the anxiety in his voice, and she couldn’t help but glance at Huo Feng, only then noticing that even his ears had turned a bit red.

Huo Feng, who usually had a thick skin, suddenly exhibiting such a side, Pu Sangzhi found him somewhat endearing...

Pu Wenhua had found Huo Feng’s love letter earlier and could feel from those crude lines that Huo Feng wasn’t a serious boy.

Because of that love letter from Huo Feng, it only seemed to suggest an interest in dating and playing with emotions.

Nevertheless, Pu Wenhua himself was a disqualified parent, fully aware that he had no right to interfere with his daughter’s life at this point.

This boy may not be very familiar to him, but he indeed spent a term with his daughter.

Attending school, after school, without fail...

He even investigated him to protect her and her mother.

A young man, yet showing a great sense of responsibility.

Pu Wenhua actually felt ashamed of himself in this respect.

Therefore, Pu Wenhua didn’t pass judgment on Huo Feng and remained neutral.

Before leaving, Pu Wenhua only wanted to say to Huo Feng, "High school is quite important. If you don’t study hard at this age, you’ll regret it later. Both of you are still young, and the road ahead is long; you can afford to wait these few years. If you truly like Xiaosang, I ask you to protect her during these years."

"Hmm."

Huo Feng nodded firmly, "I definitely can do that, Uncle."

Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi, listening to their conversation, suddenly felt as if her dad was entrusting her to Huo Feng.

This feeling was very strange...

"Hmm."

Pu Wenhua nodded, sighing deeply, "That’s settled then. You guys eat first. At seven-thirty, I’ll go handle the discharge."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle,"

Huo Feng nodded politely and obediently began eating his bun, taking a big bite.

Pu Sangzhi also opened her milk, her eyes lingering on her father, full of reluctance, "Dad, won’t you stay a little longer? Mom hasn’t come yet..."

Pu Wenhua sighed and said, "Seeing her or not isn’t important. I didn’t bring anything back this time." He also feared bringing trouble back...

He stopped talking there, not wanting to divulge more about the current situation.

He didn’t want to burden his children with pressure nor did he want Huo Feng to know about their family’s embarrassing situation.

"Dad, I miss you..."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, speaking earnestly and seriously.

Hearing this, Pu Wenhua genuinely wanted to reach out and stroke her head, even hug her.

But given Huo Feng’s presence, Pu Wenhua restrained from such gestures.

He just nodded, a rare smile curling the corners of his lips, "I miss you too."

"Dad..."

Pu Sangzhi took the opportunity to ask again, "Can’t you stay a bit longer?"

Pu Wenhua shook his head lightly, "No. I... have things to do."

Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi no longer pressed her father, "Dad, then I’ll see you out later."

"No need,"

Pu Wenhua frowned slightly, "Don’t see me out, it’s not convenient."

Pu Sangzhi lowered her head, her lips pouting slightly, a veil of disappointment covering her small face.

Her little expressions were all witnessed by Huo Feng beside her.

Seeing all the downcast emotions on her face, Huo Feng felt heartbreakingly sad!

He chewed the bun in his mouth, bite by bite, as if it were tasteless wax.

At such times...

When reality’s helplessness was too much to bear...

Huo Feng felt utterly insignificant, lacking the power to protect her, to help her.

Consequently, Pu Wenhua really only stayed with them for a short while.

...

At seven-thirty, Pu Wenhua went to handle the discharge, got the medication, and took the two children out of the hospital.

He called a tricycle for them, and then he did not accompany the two children any further.

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng got on the tricycle. At that moment, faced with the scene of parting, Pu Sangzhi really struggled to hold back...

"Dad, when will I see you next time..."

As Pu Wenhua finished paying for the tricycle, he turned around and was met with Pu Sangzhi’s question.

He spoke in a calm voice, "It’s uncertain. I’ll try to come back early..."

Pu Sangzhi’s eyes were slightly red. She bit her lip, "Dad, call home when you have time..."

Pu Wenhua nodded, "I know."

Having said that, Pu Wenhua then told Huo Feng, "Kid, your electric bike is parked at the entrance of the small shop at the end of the alley."

Huo Feng promptly responded, "Okay, thank you, Uncle."

"Dad..."

Pu Sangzhi called out to him again, "I miss you. If you can, come back soon."

Pu Wenhua actually didn’t dare to face Pu Sangzhi’s tears, to face such tender emotions...

He had already tried to downplay and even ignore her, but her call brought him back. Pu Wenhua could only sigh, "I’m leaving. Take good care of yourself and Mom."

Pu Sangzhi nodded tearfully.

After speaking, Pu Wenhua stepped back, and the tricycle driver pedaled away...

Gradually, the distance between them grew.

Pu Sangzhi turned her head, her gaze, glistening with moisture, locked on Pu Wenhua, watching, just watching...

By her side, Huo Feng also watched her silently, just watching...

Watching the tears flicker in her eyes, watching her stoically suppress her emotions, watching her not even daring to make a sound as she cried...

At that moment, Huo Feng felt his chest was so tight he could hardly breathe!

Raising his hand, he gently placed it on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, unable to make a sound, silently offering comfort.

After the tricycle rounded a bend and Pu Wenhua was out of sight, Pu Sangzhi finally turned back, lowered her head, and wept quietly to herself.

Huo Feng searched all his pockets, but found no tissues!

He hurriedly pulled up his sleeve and offered it to her...

Pu Sangzhi took the sleeve he handed her and wiped her tears...

The farewell was bleak, yet with him there, the atmosphere was warm and comforting.

Pu Sangzhi sniffled, "The clothes, they smell a bit..."

Huo Feng: "..."

Done for...

Disgusted...
