Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 208 - 202, Feel sorry for her (2)

Huo Feng talked with Chen Huifen for a long time, all the way until Chen Huifen’s work shift ended and she closed up shop punctually.

After ending a day of exhausting rest, Chen Huifen stood up, hammered at her shoulders, rubbed her back, and twisted her neck as she walked into the bathroom to take a bath.

Watching her toilsome silhouette, Huo Feng was deeply moved.

Now, he understood more and more about Pu Sangzhi’s family.

He knew about her past, knew her family was poor, knew about the problems her family might face in the next ten years, and knew about her helplessness and despair, her sadness and pain...

With all this information, Huo Feng felt increasingly distressed for her, and for her mother as well.

Perhaps his heart had grown impatient.

At this moment, he felt terribly uncomfortable; he was still a child and couldn’t support her family yet.

Their home, consisting of only two women and ridden with struggles, even fraught with dangers... lacked a man to support them.

Naturally, Huo Feng held quite a grudge against Pu Sangzhi’s irresponsible father.

He thought, if the same situation had happened to him, he would never let the debt fall on the two of them, no matter what.

A man, no matter what age, should take responsibility.

Children have the responsibilities of children, adults have the responsibilities of adults, and the head of a family naturally has responsibilities too.

Huo Feng looked down on irresponsible men.

At 11 p.m., after seeing Chen Huifen go back to her room to sleep, Huo Feng also washed up briefly and went to Pu Sangzhi’s room.

The room next to him, where he had slept before, still had its bedding and mattress laid out; logically, he was supposed to sleep in the guest room.

But he didn’t want to go there.

Huo Feng quietly snuck into Pu Sangzhi’s room, closed the door behind him, and placed a hand on the cold wall. In the darkness, he paused for a while...

Until his eyes adjusted to the dim environment, and he could faintly see his surroundings, then he started moving, cautiously walking towards her bed.

Huo Feng found his way to the edge of the bed and sat down gently; he reached into his clothes pocket, took out his mobile phone, and tapped the screen.

The dim light of the phone slightly illuminated the room, and he used this faint light to silently gaze at Pu Sangzhi’s peaceful sleeping face.

At the moment, Pu Sangzhi was lying on her side facing Huo Feng, with one arm sticking out from the bedding, her pale skin exuding an irresistibly tempting allure.

Huo Feng put away his phone and slowly extended his hand, his burning palm resting on her ice-cold arm, the alternating temperatures heating his heart, and his body temperature gradually rose.

His hand slowly moved down, caressing her ice-cold arm up and down. Such a delicate arm, it seemed to have little flesh, he could almost squeeze down to the bone.

Huo Feng felt a bit heartbroken, yet also a bit thrilled.

Because, if she were awake at this moment, she would never have allowed him to be so bold!

So, such opportunities were really rare.

Huo Feng took a deep breath, urging himself to stay cool-headed, absolutely not to do anything beastly!

After warning himself, Huo Feng remained calm for two minutes.

Two minutes later...

It was no use, he was a beast!

Bending down, the uncontrollable Huo Feng suddenly pounced towards Pu Sangzhi...

Just as his nose was about to touch hers, Huo Feng stopped mid-air...

The reason he stopped was not that he had suddenly come to his senses, but because Pu Sangzhi suddenly murmured in her sleep, "No..."

Huo Feng froze just inches away from her, and even though the room was pitch-black, through her slightly rapid breathing, Huo Feng could feel her presence, feel how close they were, and feel that she was a bit panicked...

"No money..."

Pu Sangzhi started to sleep restlessly, seemingly having a nightmare, murmuring more rapidly and anxiously, "I have no money... no... no money..."

Huo Feng held his breath and listened for a long time before he could make out what she was saying.

He suddenly felt a blockage in his chest, extremely uncomfortable!

Suddenly, Pu Sangzhi raised her hand and slapped his face, her voice even more urgent, "Don’t touch me... don’t..."

Huo Feng quickly grabbed her hand, tightly holding it, and patted her back while whispering comfortingly in her ear, "It’s okay, it’s okay... it’s all okay..."

He didn’t know how to console someone having a nightmare, so he just kept repeating the words ’it’s okay’.

Pu Sangzhi’s panicked emotions gradually calmed down, and her muttering in her sleep became softer and softer.

Just when Huo Feng thought she must be sleeping peacefully, suddenly, Pu Sangzhi’s body shuddered!

As if her whole body twitched for a moment, she woke up.

Huo Feng gently patted her back, nearly frightened into a sweat, "It’s okay, you were just dreaming... it’s okay..."

In the darkness, he hadn’t noticed that she was now awake.

Awakened by the nightmare, Pu Sangzhi’s eyes were unfocused, her head sweaty; her breathing was rapid and heavy, as if regulating her emotions.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be afraid... don’t be scared..."

Huo Feng was still whispering in her ear, rhythmically patting her back while tightly holding her hand, channeling his strength into her.

Given Pu Sangzhi’s temperament, at this moment, she should have pushed him away, should have maintained her distance, and should have scolded him for coming into her room again...

Yet, his soothing whispers and rhythmic pats, along with the warmth of his strength, gave her an immense sense of security at that moment.

Pu Sangzhi often had nightmares, so often...

Often, when she woke from these dreams, looking around at the pitch-dark room, she felt as if the real world was also shrouded in darkness, her heart oppressively heavy, with no one to embrace, to talk to, to rely on.

But at this moment, in her most lost and helpless state, this dark world was enveloped by a forceful warmth around her.

Huo Feng’s various actions, every detail, even his breath when he spoke, sprayed on her face, all gave a most tangible sense of security.

Therefore, at this time, Pu Sangzhi did not stop him.

She lay quietly, letting him soothe her, quietly gathering her emotions, restoring her thoughts...

After several minutes of silence, when Huo Feng thought she was asleep again, he stopped soothing her.

Once his voice quieted down, the world returned to its usual darkness.

But it wasn’t quite like before...

Because she could feel, someone was beside her.

Even if the world was dark, she was not alone.

Pu Sangzhi quietly opened her eyes, thinking to just keep sleeping.

While Huo Feng was here, while someone was beside her, she could sleep soundly once more.

However, just as she allowed herself to entertain the thought of indulging Huo Feng, suddenly, she felt Huo Feng’s breath getting closer...

The sound of his breathing grew louder, and his breath on her face became more noticeable...

Pu Sangzhi immediately realized he was trying to sneak a kiss again!

This time, she wasn’t as tolerant as before.

Just as Huo Feng’s lips were about to touch her cheek, Pu Sangzhi raised her hand, holding back his chin!

"Hm?" Huo Feng raised an eyebrow.

From below, Pu Sangzhi’s slightly angry voice emerged, "What are you doing?"

Huo Feng suddenly gasped, his eyes widening in shock... Holy shit! A car crash scene!

Pu Sangzhi pushed his face away, continuing, "Too much, do you think I’d let you off twice?"

"Twice?"

Huo Feng was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Oh! So, you knew about last time when I kissed you!"

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Huo Feng immediately grabbed Pu Sangzhi’s wrist, began to smile slyly, "Then did you allow me to kiss you last time? And you didn’t say anything, maybe you were secretly happy about it too?"

Pu Sangzhi sharply refuted, "Absolutely not! Don’t drag this out, get up!"

Initially, Pu Sangzhi had intended to tolerate him holding her hand, but now he had gone too far, even trying to steal a kiss?

Pu Sangzhi was prepared to revoke this privilege; tonight, he must go back to his own room to sleep!

Huo Feng let go of her hand, not daring to act too boldly now that Pu Sangzhi was alert.

He harbored the desire, but never the courage, with Pu Sangzhi.

Pu Sangzhi pulled the blanket around her, intentionally distancing herself from Huo Feng.

But because she moved so much inward, half of the bed was now free.

Huo Feng then flopped onto the bed and also took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it towards her...

Pu Sangzhi squinted against the bright light, but it was because of this that she noticed Huo Feng had gotten onto the bed.

Pu Sangzhi grabbed a pillow and placed it between them, frowning at him, "Who allowed you on my bed, get off!"

Huo Feng turned off the flashlight and put away his phone, grinning contentedly, "I’ll just lie here and chat with you."

Pu Sangzhi refused: "No."

Huo Feng: "Just for a bit, I was chatting with Auntie for over an hour just now. I’m feeling excited, really want to talk to you."

Pu Sangzhi pouted, "Why did you go talking to my mom?"

Huo Feng: "Because I want to marry you."

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Huo Feng sighed, "Ah, sometimes I feel like we met too soon. Meeting you at this age, all I can think about is marrying you, but I’m not even 18 yet. If we met a few years later, in college, I could tell you every day that I want to marry you."

For some reason, his jumbled words moved Pu Sangzhi deeply.

She quietly clenched the bedding, her face flushing slightly in the darkness...
