Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 138 - 132, Huo Feng, good luck on your exams!
Chapter 138: 132, Huo Feng, good luck on your exams!
Pu Sangzhi wrote Huo Feng an apology letter.
The first sentence was, "I’m sorry, Huo Feng."
So, when Huo Feng had just opened the letter and saw that sentence, his heart leaped to his throat, and his whole mind exploded.
He truly thought it was a farewell letter, one that would definitely contain cold-hearted content, many apologies, and hurtful words.
Because of this, at the beginning, Huo Feng absolutely refused to let Pan Bo read it.
But when he hid away and read it thoroughly himself...
Well, he understood!
It was an apology letter.
In the letter, Pu Sangzhi told him that she should not have embarrassed him in front of so many classmates, nor should she have poured cold water on him publicly just to clear her own name.
Her actions that day were wrong, so she was apologizing to Huo Feng.
Her handwriting was elegant and tidy, characteristic of a humanities student.
Beneath her words, her sincere apology shone through. It warmed Huo Feng’s heart to the core and delighted him immensely!
After reading the letter, the only thought in Huo Feng’s mind was: Definitely forgive her!
However, in the latter part of the letter, Pu Sangzhi also said: she hoped that he could be more low-key at school in the future and not broadcast their relationship everywhere.
No matter what their relationship would become in the future, whether they could get into Tsinghua, or whether they could date were all matters of the future.
Now, Pu Sangzhi hoped that his focus could be on the present, to study diligently and strive for improvement every day, to become an outstanding student.
Pu Sangzhi also stated that although they would reduce their encounters at school, he could still visit Lin Qianqian’s house on weekends. She could continue to tutor him and help with his studies.
At the end of the letter, Pu Sangzhi left him a particularly motivating phrase:
’Huo Feng, a rough gem should shine through mundane life, hoping you will rid yourself of dust and carve yourself into a fine jade.’
This phrase gave Huo Feng tremendous encouragement.
Huo Feng guessed that she must have complimented him as being an uncut jade, which, through sculpting, would surely become a fine jade.
Pu Sangzhi indeed recognized that he was a gem with potential. She now held high hopes for Huo Feng, hoping that he could excel.
Carrying Pu Sangzhi’s hopes for him, Huo Feng felt not only supported but completely motivated.
He took a photo of the letter with his phone and then set the picture as his screen saver, to inspire himself every day to study diligently!
Tsinghua, like climbing Mount Everest, getting through fire and sword, or navigating the boundless sea of learning, he must conquer!
So, Tsinghua, Huo Feng must attend!
From this moment on, Tsinghua University became Huo Feng’s ultimate goal.
With her life as a crown upon his own, with her goals as a vision realized, from now on, Huo Feng wanted to be part of her destiny together!
Pu Sangzhi, this woman, he was determined to follow...
...
After evening self-study ended, Pu Sangzhi received a reply from Huo Feng delivered by Pan Bo.
She returned to the girls’ dormitory, after freshening up, lay on the bed, and lazily opened Huo Feng’s reply.
This letter, Pu Sangzhi read with a smile, in a good mood.
It was naturally quite sleek and smooth, a love letter in disguise, seeing each word, Pu Sangzhi could imagine Huo Feng saying these things.
Rather than calling it a reply, it was another love letter.
After reading the letter, Pu Sangzhi tucked it under her pillow.
She thought, this letter also had to be kept.
It was unclear why she kept it?
She didn’t want to throw it away, didn’t want to tear it up, and of course, didn’t want to reply.
The following week, Huo Feng only did as she had asked of him.
He didn’t seek her out at school.
For 24 hours a day, Pu Sangzhi didn’t see him even once.
On the contrary, that week, Pu Sangzhi saw Dai Shanshan quite frequently.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Dai Shanshan would bring Pu Sangzhi a small bag of snacks 15 minutes before evening self-study and then apologize to Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi had made her stance clear on Monday, indicating she no longer cared about the matter.
Who knew that Dai Shanshan would still come over once, twice, three times, displaying great sincerity... it almost seemed overly sincere.
So later on, Pu Sangzhi felt rather embarrassed facing Dai Shanshan.
On Thursday, when Dai Shanshan came over, Pu Sangzhi also bought some snacks to reciprocate the gesture.
Afterward, in the corridor of class 1 of the first year, Pu Sangzhi and Dai Shanshan had a conversation.
She asked Dai Shanshan not to send her any more gifts, as she felt embarrassed to accept them and was unable to reciprocate due to not having any money.
Indeed.
Pu Sangzhi straightforwardly told Dai Shanshan that she had no money, nor did her family, so she did not want to continue this reciprocal exchange of gifts.
Dai Shanshan was surprised by her frankness and began to feel some fondness for her.
Then, Dai Shanshan told her that, in fact, it was because Huo Feng had warned Dai Shanshan that she had the courage to come and apologize.
Dai Shanshan even told Pu Sangzhi that these past few days, several girls in their class who had been bad-mouthing Pu Sangzhi behind her back had been warned by Huo Feng.
Just yesterday, Huo Feng even went directly to their class and gave Han Feiyi a serious talking-to.
After the sports meet, the second-year (9) class and the first-year (1) class became rival classes.
Because Han Feiyi’s position as the campus belle had been taken by Pu Sangzhi, the students from the second-year (9) class were very antagonistic toward Pu Sangzhi, and they would always gather together to speak ill of her.
Dai Shanshan was quite frank, telling all this to Pu Sangzhi.
Of course, while she was talking about this, Dai Shanshan also asked Pu Sangzhi not to take it too much to heart.
Pu Sangzhi naturally didn’t mind.
She was just slightly moved about Huo Feng... who had silently done so much for her in these past days.
Dai Shanshan promised Pu Sangzhi that she would stop coming from next week on. Afterwards, she hoped Pu Sangzhi would forgive her as if this matter had passed.
Pu Sangzhi had naturally forgiven her long ago and was also willing to be her friend.
Thus, after tonight, Pu Sangzhi and Dai Shanshan had established a layer of friendship.
...
Friday, the mid-term exams were due.
This was yet another major test, considered quite important.
Students from 12 classes were completely shuffled to take the exam.
However, this exam produced a huge coincidence because... Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng ended up in the same classroom for the exam!
Not only that, their seats were very close to each other.
Huo Feng was sitting in the second group, fourth position, while Pu Sangzhi was in the third group, fifth row. Huo Feng could see Pu Sangzhi just by turning his head.
That morning, as Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi entered the examination room holding their pencil boxes, they met at the classroom door, and both looked at each other... completely shocked!
Later, after they had taken their seats, Huo Feng couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart and kept turning his head, frequently looking at Pu Sangzhi...
Every time he saw her, he would smile.
His smiling phoenix eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, his smile bright and sunny, overflowing with youth, often making Pu Sangzhi lose her focus.
At 7:45 am, the supervising teacher stood at the podium with a stern face, opening the envelope containing the exam papers while announcing the examination regulations, "All irrelevant items must be placed on the podium, all mobile phones turned off and placed in bags on the podium. Place student IDs at the corner of the desk, no whispering or talking during the exam, and keep the examination hall quiet..."
Finally, Huo Feng turned his head toward Pu Sangzhi again, his gaze lingering as he couldn’t suppress his bright mood!
Pu Sangzhi finally couldn’t take it anymore and spoke in a low voice, "Hey!"
Huo Feng responded with a smile, "Yes?"
Pu Sangzhi pointed at the supervising teacher in front of them and glared, saying, "Turn your head back."
Huo Feng turned his head back with a smile, but even though he was no longer looking at Pu Sangzhi, his smile never faded.
Huo Feng wiped his face and covered his mouth, the smile still lingering in his eyes.
Damn... so happy.
Pu Sangzhi had said they shouldn’t meet at school, but the school had arranged for them to meet anyway.
Should Huo Feng thank the school? Or should he thank the school?
Fate comes and you just can’t block it.
Pu Sangzhi, sitting slightly behind Huo Feng, had a view dominated by Huo Feng’s back.
Huo Feng’s back was broad and strong, his neck slender, and his clean short hair sprinkled on his neck, his skin fair and bright. Just from this profile, one could tell he was quite handsome.
Although Pu Sangzhi told Huo Feng not to look at her, she herself couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Huo Feng, her gaze uncontrollably wandering.
The exam papers were finally distributed, passed back from the first student. Huo Feng just happened to take the opportunity while passing the papers to take another look at Pu Sangzhi.
Just then, Pu Sangzhi was also sneaking a glance at him. Their eyes suddenly aligned, causing her heart to flutter with the feeling of being caught.
Huo Feng smiled at her without saying a word.
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi whispered to him, "Good luck."
Those few simple words stirred Huo Feng’s heart...
