Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 297 - 290. The silly girl from the Huo Feng’s family, take good care of her! (2)

Chapter 297: 290. The silly girl from the Huo Feng’s family, take good care of her! (2)

Throughout the whole day, because Huo Feng had been clinging to Pu Sangzhi, Ye Xi hardly had a chance to speak to her at all.

Only now...

Now that Huo Feng was changing his clothes...

Ye Xi finally seized the opportunity to have a proper conversation with Pu Sangzhi.

The first thing he wanted to ascertain was... whether she liked Huo Feng or not?

And this, he could only believe if he heard it from her own lips.

At this moment, he believed.

Ye Xi’s heart was filled with a mix of complex emotions, but his face still wore the usual warm smile, a smile measured to perfection, gentle as jade, "I thought you wouldn’t date in high school."

"I’m not dating."

Pu Sangzhi shook her head slightly, the corners of her lips lightly curling, "He promised me, no dating in high school, we’ll date after we get into Tsinghua. Brother Ye Xi, did you misunderstand?"

Ye Xi thought, it wasn’t really a misunderstanding.

Because anyone with clear eyes could see the relationship between her and Huo Feng.

But the fact she wasn’t willing to admit it, that somewhat surprised Ye Xi, so he asked her, "A gentlemen’s agreement? Or a test for him? Do you mean, he can only date you if he gets into Tsinghua?"

"It’s not a gentlemen’s agreement, nor is it just a test. Hmm..."

Pu Sangzhi pondered for a while with her lips pursed, then said with a soft laugh, "Actually, it’s just that I don’t want him to succeed so easily. I’m afraid that if I let him succeed all at once, he’d lose the motivation to study and gradually lose sight of his goal to get into Tsinghua. Right now, my plan is simply to study hard. After graduating from high school, when we’re at the right age for a relationship, then I’ll date him."

Ye Xi was somewhat understanding, yet not quite, and he furrowed his brows, asking, "Just because the age isn’t right?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "We’re not of age yet, we’re still young, and life is so long. Beautiful things should be saved for the appropriate age."

The so-called appropriate age.

Pu Sangzhi believed that there is a suitable age for everything one should do.

High school is still the age for studying. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Therefore, she hoped to fill her entire high school life with study, not to bring romance into it, not to affect her life goals and rhythm.

University is the age to first taste love.

So she hoped to have a mature relationship in the mature campus environment.

From campus to marriage, unwavering, committed with all her heart.

This was the life plan she had set for herself.

Huo Feng at this age was not mature enough, and she too was too occupied to be distracted...

So at this age, there were some things that simply did not need to happen.

This was the true reason why Pu Sangzhi, despite having developed feelings for Huo Feng, did not wish to cross that line.

And this reason, she summed up in one sentence, only telling Ye Xi.

After listening, Ye Xi couldn’t help but nod, "Right, what you said makes sense. We’re too young now, not suitable for dating. I shouldn’t have asked you that, my apologies."

"Brother Ye Xi..."

Pu Sangzhi lifted her eyes to look at Ye Xi, "In the future, I will definitely go to Tsinghua to find you, together with Huo Feng."

Adding the words ’together with Huo Feng’ to the end of her sentence clarified her intentions to Ye Xi even more.

By this point, Ye Xi had no choice but to abandon the tangle of emotions within his heart, along with the feelings he had hidden for many years...

Thankfully, he hadn’t had the chance to show them.

Thankfully...

Thinking this, Ye Xi blinked lightly, "Hmm."

Pu Sangzhi responded with a light smile.

Ye Xi also relaxed his lips into a warm smile, "Bro respects all your decisions. If you think he’s good, Bro blesses you."

Pu Sangzhi laughed, "Thanks, Brother Ye Xi."

Ye Xi said, "When do you have time in the evening? Bro would like to take you out for a meal. There are still many things I’d like to talk about with you."

Pu Sangzhi thought for a while, "Then, I’ll discuss it with Huo Feng."

Ye Xi raised an eyebrow, "Discuss with him?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Because I tutor him every day. Most of my time throughout the day is spent with him. So, Brother Ye Xi, why not bring him along? Would that be alright?"

Ye Xi nodded generously, "Sure, your decision is fine."

Pu Sangzhi, "Thank you, Brother Ye Xi."

Just as the two of them were deep in conversation, Huo Feng had finished changing his clothes and came out of the bathroom.

Seeing Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi deep in conversation, the unease in Huo Feng couldn’t be more apparent!

Without another word, he jogged over...

"Hey! What are you and Bro talking about? Looks like you’re having fun? Share with me, will you?"

Huo Feng casually draped an arm over Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, his movements fluid and natural, as if to declare his territory.

As for Huo Feng’s nervousness and pretense, Pu Sangzhi could see right through them at a glance.

She saw through everything but didn’t speak out, pretending to not care at all as she said to him, "Brother Ye Xi asked when we are free. He wants to treat us to a meal."

"Really? How can we accept such kindness!" Holy shit, what kind of strategy is this?

Huo Feng wrapped an arm around Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder and looked at Ye Xi with a sheepish smile, "Brother, what will you treat us to? Can we pick the place?" Damn it, I’m gonna eat you out of house and home!

"Hey."

Pu Sangzhi glared at Huo Feng, "If Brother Ye Xi is treating, we should eat whatever he suggests. It’s impolite to act the way you are!"

"I know, I know, my girlfriend is right."

Huo Feng obediently complied, then said to Ye Xi: "Brother, we’ll eat whatever you treat us to. So when will it be, Brother?"

Ye Xi replied, "Anything’s fine. How about tonight?"

"Sure!"

Huo Feng nodded, "There’s no time like the present, so let’s do it tonight! Thank you, Brother, for spending on us."

In front of Ye Xi, Huo Feng finally showed his exceptional people skills.

Watching Huo Feng be so polite and courteous to Ye Xi, seemingly letting go of the jealousy within, Pu Sangzhi felt quite happy.

Ye Xi also said, "Okay. Then let’s have a meal in Tangxia tonight, and Xiaocao will be there too."

Huo Feng said, "Great! Then it’s settled! Thanks in advance, Brother!"

Despite agreeing so happily on the surface, internally, Huo Feng was thinking: Damn Ye Xi, I really want to see what you’re up to!

Seeing Huo Feng behaving so well on the side, Pu Sangzhi felt greatly relieved in her heart.

Of course, that was because she did not know what sort of devious thoughts were brewing in Huo Feng’s mind...

So, right in front of Ye Xi, Pu Sangzhi praised him: "You’re really handsome today."

What she wanted to say was: Today, not only was he handsome in appearance, but his broad-mindedness was also handsome.

A man’s magnanimity can be revealed in the subtlest details, adding to his charm.

Today, Pu Sangzhi saw a lot of charm in him.

After being complimented by her, Huo Feng squeezed her shoulder and said, "Of course I’m handsome!"

Then, the two of them laughed.

Seeing the youthful smiles on their faces, Ye Xi also felt a sense of solace in his heart.

Actually...

They, were a good match for each other.

...

Once everyone had changed their clothes, the group began their journey home.

Ye Xi drove up with only Ye Qingcao in the car, leaving three empty seats, which could be squeezed to fit four people at a push.

However, the number of people with Huo Feng was simply too many; the three seats were not enough.

Therefore, Huo Feng still chose to take the bus with his ten lackeys, letting Ye Xi take a few girls back.

After some arranging, Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi, and his lackeys headed to take the public bus.

And in Ye Xi’s car were Ye Qingcao, Shen Nuan, Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, and the not-so-familiar Han Feiyi.

Out of all the girls, only Pu Sangzhi took the public bus back with Huo Feng.

It was Pu Sangzhi’s own decision.

She insisted on going with Huo Feng and his group, so no one tried to stop her.

Because there were so many people coming from the convention, the bus had no vacant seats.

After a long wait, they managed to squeeze onto a bus; with no seats available, they all had to stand.

Pu Sangzhi stood near the exit door, grasping the handrail to steady herself.

Huo Feng stood behind her, one hand holding the upper handrail, the other grabbing the handrail beside Pu Sangzhi, shielding her with his body.

The bus slowly moved off, the interior crammed, the air stagnant, and a certain indescribable smell wafting around.

Huo Feng asked Pu Sangzhi, "Do you regret not taking your brother’s car back?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "Not at all, why do you ask?"

Huo Feng sighed, his lips pressed thin, "I swear, once I’m of age and get my driver’s license, I’ll never let you ride the bus again."

Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but smile, "What are you thinking? I never said that taking the bus is bad..."

Huo Feng frowned, "I’ve let you down."

Pu Sangzhi: "No, you haven’t."

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Sangzhi girl, you’re too easy to please, not materialistic at all."

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him sideways and said nothing.

Then, she heard Huo Feng murmur close to her ear, "Even though you’re easy to please, I can’t neglect you. You’re such a rare, silly girl, I have to take good care of you."

His words made Pu Sangzhi secretly purse her lips and quietly start to smile.
