Chapter 284: 278. Father-son relationship, beginning to ease! (6)

Hearing Huo Feng say he wouldn’t come back for the New Year either.

As an old father, Huo Mingshan felt very disappointed, and even a bit angry.

But now, his relationship with Huo Feng was so tense that Huo Mingshan dared not lose his temper easily.

So, Huo Mingshan eventually swallowed his anger, merely sighing, "Do as you wish. Whether you come back or not, it’s all the same at home."

Huo Mingshan was a proud and face-saving man, deep down really hoping for Huo Feng to return home for New Year’s.

Yet he couldn’t lower his face to ask Huo Feng to come back.

This stubborn trait of Huo Mingshan was something Huo Feng didn’t know about.

In the future, Huo Feng would gradually come to understand his father’s heart as he grew up.

But not now.

"Old Huo, why haven’t you praised my end-of-term grades at all?"

Huo Feng walked over to the wardrobe, took out a gourd-shaped wine flask from inside, and talked to Huo Mingshan as he did so.

This gourd-shaped wine flask was a prop for cosplaying as Li Bai from Honor of Kings.

Huo Feng also took out a wig, ready to put on the whole set to check how it looked.

Huo Mingshan sat quietly on the bed, watching Huo Feng fussing about, and replied, "You didn’t come home, how could I praise you? After the holiday, I couldn’t even see a shadow of you, where should I go to praise you?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Feng laughed, "Haha, so that means you’d praise me if you saw me?"

Huo Mingshan’s mouth twitched slightly, "Fat chance. You just improved a bit, who knows if you cheated."

Huo Feng snorted, "So this is the attitude you’re using with me, huh? Sooner or later, you’re going to be slapped in the face by my grades. Let me tell you, Old Huo, there’s nothing in this world that I, Huo Feng, want to do and can’t manage. Even if I can’t do it now, I’ll be able to when I’m more capable in the future. You look down on me now, but later on, you might have to rely on me. Just don’t feel too ashamed then!"

Huo Mingshan chuckled coldly, "A father relying on his son, that’s perfectly normal! I’ve raised you for so many years, if you’re unfilial to me in the future, may lightning strike me down!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Huo Feng shook his head as he walked over to the vanity mirror.

Huo Feng started putting on the wig for cosplaying Li Bai, and his own hair was quite long, so once the wig was on, he looked quite like a non-conformist!

Huo Mingshan watched with disbelief at his strange get-up, "What kind of aesthetics do young people have these days? Wearing such a foreign hairstyle, aren’t you embarrassed to go out?"

Huo Feng retorted, "Can you shut up? Always saying such unpleasant things... If it were my mom, she would’ve praised me to the skies by now."

Huo Mingshan replied, "That’s because she’s your mother!"

Huo Feng asked, "So what, you’re not my dad?"

Huo Mingshan answered, "I am your biological dad! Only a stepfather would see that kind of hairstyle and still flatter you against his conscience!"

Huo Feng was speechless...

What the hell? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Left without a response.

Forget it... generational gap, generational gap.

He ought to be more open-minded and forgive the elderly.

"You’re not taking Sangzhi with you for your outing tomorrow, are you?"

Suddenly, Huo Mingshan broached the subject of Pu Sangzhi.

In the previous conversation, Huo Feng had tried his best to avoid mentioning Pu Sangzhi.

Because he knew the harmony of their father-son relationship and conversation hinged on those three words ’Pu Sangzhi.’

Huo Feng had come home today not to argue.

So he had made up his mind not to bring up Pu Sangzhi with his old man.

But unexpectedly, in the end, it was Huo Mingshan who asked about Pu Sangzhi first.

Huo Feng was stunned for a moment, then two seconds later, he responded, "Wow... you can now bring up Sangzhi so calmly with me?"

Huo Mingshan furrowed his brows, "That’s out of helplessness!"

Huo Feng laughed, "You’re really so helpless. As your son, I deeply understand your helplessness."

Huo Mingshan didn’t argue with Huo Feng, just said, "Your grandfather posts in the group every day, videos of you guys freeloading meals at his place. So what’s going on now? Has Sangzhi been ruined by you?"

"Ruined? What do you mean?"

Huo Feng couldn’t take it anymore and turned to confront Huo Mingshan, "I respect her a lot. She’s a goddess in my world, I treat her like a fairy every day. To this day, I don’t even dare to take advantage of her."

When he said this, Huo Feng didn’t feel guilty at all!

He just felt that he was so clever and witty!

"Just standing next to her is ruining her!" Huo Mingshan pointed at him.

"Oh come on... are you even my dad?"

Huo Feng thought, communication is too difficult.

Huo Mingshan still didn’t argue with him, only saying, "What’s going on with you and her now? I want the truth."

To ensure his own safety, as well as protect his relationship with Pu Sangzhi.

Huo Feng earnestly and sincerely assured Huo Mingshan, "Our friendship is stronger than gold!"

Hearing this, Huo Mingshan’s face showed a trace of slight satisfaction, "Really just friendship?"

Huo Feng responded, "Pure friendship! I wouldn’t dare to cross the line! I swear on your life to heaven!"

Huo Mingshan’s eyes widened upon hearing this, "You swore on my life to heaven? Dare you swear on your own manhood?"

Huo Feng refused, "If my manhood is damaged, the Huo family will have no descendants."

Huo Mingshan scolded, "You little rascal!"

Huo Feng again innocently said, "Seriously, I wouldn’t dare to go for her, and now I don’t even have a chance. Her first love has come back, an outstanding student from Tsinghua University. He’s good-looking, has a great personality, and he also likes her. So you see, I’ve been rather troubled lately..."

Of course, these words were deliberately said for Huo Mingshan to hear.

To confuse or deceive Huo Mingshan’s perception, to create an illusion for Huo Mingshan, and to protect his relationship with Pu Sangzhi... a well-intentioned lie is still necessary!

Sure enough, Huo Mingshan, upon hearing Huo Feng’s words, showed an expression of surprise, "Really? Sangzhi’s first love has come back?"

Huo Feng said, "Isn’t it? I even saw him today, almost died of anger!"

Hearing this, Huo Mingshan mockingly laughed at Huo Feng’s setback, "Ha, you scoundrel, you finally hit a wall, didn’t you!"

In his heart, Huo Feng also sneered, but he still had to pretend in front of Old Huo, "Just a small setback. Life is so long, and I’m so outstanding, occasional frustrations are just to temper me."

Huo Mingshan pointed at Huo Feng, a bit smugly saying, "Keep bragging! In truth, you’re panicking like crazy! Because you can’t compare to him!"

Huo Feng retorted, "Alright, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Would you please gracefully get out of my room?"

Huo Mingshan stubbornly stayed put, insisting on pestering Huo Feng, "You little scoundrel, now you realize how trash you are! Sangzhi is such an excellent girl, she has no shortage of outstanding admirers. So look at yourself, you’re good for nothing! Trash!"

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Father, can you please go?"

Huo Mingshan said, "I’m just here to give you a reality check about your strength."

Huo Feng thought to himself: Go ahead and talk... No amount of talking will stop the progress of my relationship with Pu Sangzhi!

Humph...

Pu Sangzhi now, she really likes me, Huo Feng!

That so-called first love, Huo Feng had already stopped caring about him long ago.

Huo Feng’s path is smooth sailing now, without any obstacles.

As long as he could appease Old Huo from his family, all barriers would be taken care of.

Right now, the only enemy in front of Huo Feng... is Tsinghua!

Damn Tsinghua, it’s going to be his biggest enemy for these three years!

...

The next morning, Huo Feng packed a big bag and rode his little electric scooter to find Pu Sangzhi.

His big bag contained his cosplay costume, and hanging on the outside, there was a giant gourd.

When Pu Sangzhi came out from her house and saw the huge gourd, she was startled.

Then, she got on Huo Feng’s little electric scooter, and he took her to the secret base to meet up with the other brothers.

Around 8 a.m., Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, Shen Nuan, and ten other brothers gathered at the secret base.

They went to the Wenzhou Convention and Exhibition Center in groups by taking turns in taxis.

On the other hand, Ye Qingcao was driven directly to the Wenzhou Convention and Exhibition Center by her brother, Ye Xi.

They set off in two separate groups, meeting up at the Wenzhou Convention and Exhibition Center.

Along the way, everyone was in good spirits and very energetic.

Huo Feng sat in the same taxi with Pu Sangzhi, chatting with others in the group on his phone.

During a lull in the conversation, Huo Feng checked his social feed again.

On the feed, he saw Yan Siyuan posted a picture of his Wenzhou Comic Convention ticket stub.

"Ha ha, that dog Yan Siyuan seems to have set off as well."

Huo Feng laughed and said, "I’ll go have a chat with him."

Pu Sangzhi asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

Huo Feng replied, "To ask what he’s cosplaying today."

After asking...

Huo Feng received a shocking response!

"Damn it! That dog Yan is cosplaying the enchantress Daji!"
