Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 17 - 16. Getting into Tsinghua is ten times harder than pursuing her.

Chapter 17: 16. Getting into Tsinghua is ten times harder than pursuing her.

As soon as Huo Feng left, Chen Huifen couldn’t resist giving Pu Sangzhi a ’provocative’ look.

She didn’t need to say anything, her slightly upturned lips seemed to silently ask Pu Sangzhi, "What’s your relationship with that boy?"

Pu Sangzhi had wanted to criticize Chen Huifen for letting Huo Feng in, but instead, Chen Huifen turned the tables on her, making Pu Sangzhi feel a bit embarrassed.

"Don’t look at me like that, there’s nothing between us, don’t let your imagination run wild."

Turning around, Pu Sangzhi went back to the kitchen, leaving Chen Huifen with an intriguing view of her back.

Chen Huifen couldn’t help covering her mouth and chuckling, "Xiaosang, Mom hasn’t said anything."

Pu Sangzhi picked up her spatula, and pouted slightly, "Your expression is telling me you’re making wild guesses. Mom, let me tell you, I’m not at all familiar with him. His grades are bad, his character is too, we’re not even friends. Besides, I don’t want to be friends with someone like that."

Speaking, Pu Sangzhi stirred the green pepper and pork in the wok again, and Chen Huifen went to get a clean plate.

She peered over, her gaze intently fixed on Pu Sangzhi, "He has bad character? How so?"

Pu Sangzhi, while transferring the food from the wok to the plate, didn’t hold back as she told Chen Huifen, "He’s a bad student, has never studied properly, intimidates classmates all day, many students at school are afraid of him."

"Oh?"

Chen Huifen was surprised, raising her eyebrows, "Then why aren’t you afraid of him?"

"Because..." Pu Sangzhi choked up a bit, not daring to tell Chen Huifen about Huo Feng chasing her.

"Because I’m not that timid, so I’m not afraid of him," Pu Sangzhi said offhandedly.

She seemed to have forgotten the time when she was so frightened by something Pan Bo said that she went to seek help from her homeroom teacher...

"Ah, but that kid seemed so well-mannered," Chen Huifen somewhat disbelieved.

"It’s all an act."

Pu Sangzhi mercilessly exposed Huo Feng and even patted Chen Huifen on the shoulder, "So please Mom, don’t just warmly welcome any student you see. Especially the one from earlier, if he comes again, let’s both ignore him, okay?"

Having said that, Pu Sangzhi picked up the plate and headed to the dining room.

Standing behind her, Chen Huifen sighed softly and murmured, "It’s a shame, though, the boy is so good-looking."

"He looks good?"

Pu Sangzhi caught that comment and couldn’t help but retort, "Mom, you’ve never complimented Ye Xi brother on being good-looking. That’s so biased, Ye Xi brother is truly handsome."

Ye Xi was a friend Pu Sangzhi had played with since she was a child, three years her senior, more like a brother, and due to his excellent academic performance, he had attended Rui’an’s top school, Ruizhong.

And now, he had probably graduated from high school. As for which university he was at, Pu Sangzhi didn’t know.

In fact, Ye Xi was the only male friend Pu Sangzhi still socialized with, and of course, like Pu Sangzhi, he was a remarkable young man.

Yet such an outstanding Ye Xi had never received even half a compliment from Chen Huifen.

Now it was the same, while Pu Sangzhi looked down on Huo Feng and praised Ye Xi, Chen Huifen only replied, "It’s clear as day, that classmate just now indeed looks good, so clean and neat, a pleasure to look at."

By implication, Chen Huifen seemed to be saying... looking at Ye Xi was uncomfortable.

Pu Sangzhi didn’t argue with her, but at the same time, she thoroughly disparaged Huo Feng in her heart.

Huo Feng, aside from his decent looks, had no other redeeming qualities.

And now he’d added another fault—sleaziness—following her... truly disgusting!

...

At this moment, Huo Feng, having left Pu Sangzhi’s home, felt like the blazing sun overhead, shining awfully bright.

He had to admit, he had indeed followed Pu Sangzhi.

Yesterday, Friday after school, he had waited at the school gate for her in advance.

But after waiting until she came out and remembering his previous brutal rejection, he became too nervous to approach her.

Thus, with a hesitant mind, he ended up following her all the way.

Huo Feng didn’t expect that Pu Sangzhi’s home would be so close to the school, easily letting him mark the location.

Come Saturday, Huo Feng went straight there, familiar with the route, and secretly followed Pu Sangzhi all morning.

He bought the watermelon as a precautionary measure. In case he was discovered, he could offer something nice as a distraction.

As it turned out, the watermelon actually came in handy.

After greeting and meeting the parents, Huo Feng’s mood was delightful as he headed back, his steps light as if he were walking on clouds, or as if he were floating in a drunken haze.

Huo Feng had already concocted a hundred ways to pursue her, but before he could implement any of these methods, he still had to work hard for Tsinghua.

Now, just thinking about the word ’Tsinghua’ made Huo Feng feel a sense of utter despair.

He thought that pursuing her might be a hundred times easier than getting into Tsinghua.

But if he didn’t go for Tsinghua, getting her would be pointless. If they weren’t in the same university, he could easily lose her...

"Sigh..."

Huo Feng sighed, ultimately circling back to the original point—Tsinghua.

"Hey! Big Brother Feng!"

Suddenly, an extremely excited female voice called out from behind Huo Feng.

His train of thought was interrupted, he turned his head, and looked in the direction of the voice.

At this moment, about a dozen meters behind Huo Feng, a little girl with dyed blond hair, looking all dolled up and bizarre, was excitedly running towards him.

Huo Feng was instantly taken aback.

He nearly forgot that today, he had indeed used the excuse of ’looking for his sister’ to come here!

Fearing Pu Sangzhi might suspect his intentions, Huo Feng had come up with a legitimate reason to be there.

Last night, he had used his extensive connections to finally find out that a ’sworn sister’ he had acknowledged during his junior high shenanigans lived near Longxiang.

During his three years in junior high, Huo Feng was wild and mixed with bad company, creating quite a name for himself around Tangxia No.1 Middle School.

Back then, many young delinquents had taken a shine to him, so much so that he couldn’t even remember their names.

To deal with these unwanted admirers, Huo Feng had simply acknowledged them all as ’sworn sisters’ to put an end to their ill-conceived hopes. Of course, he had so many ’sworn sisters’ that even he couldn’t keep track or recognize them all.

Now, the young girl rushing towards him was named Lin Qianqian. Huo Feng had asked about her in the chat group only yesterday and had barely managed to remember her name; she was reportedly in the ninth grade.

When he casually mentioned in the group chat that he might come here to see her, Lin Qianqian had been thrilled all night long.

That’s why Lin Qianqian had spent the entire morning putting on makeup, looking garishly overdone, complemented by her somewhat yellowish hair, which was truly unsightly!

Huo Feng detested when girls weren’t refreshing to be around.

"Big Brother Feng, why didn’t you call me when you came? I sent you my location yesterday, didn’t you find it?"

Lin Qianqian stood in front of Huo Feng with a bashful expression, rubbing her hands gently, full of shyness.

Huo Feng stared straight at her thick and terrifying false eyelashes, his brows furrowed tightly, and said, "I came over here to deal with some matters. Now that they’re settled, I’m heading back home."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian let out a disappointed "Ah," but soon recovered her spirits, excitedly asking, "So where are you headed next, Big Brother Feng? Are you taking me with you for some fun?"

"I... I’m just going home."

Huo Feng pointed behind him, "Going home for dinner."

"Ah..."

Lin Qianqian pouted her lips, "Big Brother Feng, why are you lying to me... You said yesterday you were coming to see me, and I was looking forward to it for a long time."

"Next time,"

Huo Feng forced a laugh, "I’ll come again another time, we’ll make plans then." frёeωebɳovel.com

Truthfully...

Huo Feng didn’t have the heart to disappoint this little sister; just the sight of her face completely ruined his appetite.

Lin Qianqian pouted cutely, "Alright then, Big Brother Feng, but you can’t stand me up again."

"Er, you... go wash your face, and focus on your studies," Huo Feng said a few words and then hurriedly waved goodbye, "I’m off."

"Goodbye, Big Brother Feng."

Lin Qianqian waved reluctantly, her eyes filled with unwillingness to part.
