Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 248 - 242. The First Official Date! (3)

The other three people in the dormitory, upon seeing Huo Feng appear, very wisely grouped together and left.

At this time, Pu Sangzhi, who was extremely embarrassed to face Huo Feng, could only force herself to confront him.

The consequence of facing Huo Feng was being teased and mocked by him!

In fact, Huo Feng did just that to her.

On the short walk to the academic building, Huo Feng teased her from all angles, relentlessly!

He said, "Do you remember telling me last night that you wanted to hurry up and date me, to hug me, to kiss me?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "Impossible!"

Huo Feng continued, "You also said, ’I absolutely cannot bring a watermelon to propose to your family. You want a grand sedan chair, a noble marriage, with a grand ceremony to take you home.’"

Pu Sangzhi, with a strained face, shook her head, "Lies!"

Huo Feng added, "And did you also say that I definitely must get into Tsinghua, or you’d hate me? Yes, you also said, what would you do if I didn’t get into Tsinghua?"

Pu Sangzhi, with a terrible expression, shook her head, "Nonsense!"

Seeing that she’d deny it to death, Huo Feng eventually said, "Then, do you want to see the video I recorded? The video is proof!"

Pu Sangzhi’s face instantly turned red and she snapped back at him, "No watching! Ah, it was just because I was drunk! Drunk talk!"

Huo Feng slyly laughed, "In vino veritas."

Pu Sangzhi, "No, drunk nonsense!"

Huo Feng, "Dishonest!"

Pu Sangzhi, "You’re being unreasonable!"

Huo Feng, "Alright, enough nonsense, I’ll show you the video..."

Pu Sangzhi was quick to cover her eyes, "No! I won’t watch it! Absolutely not!"

With those words, she even started running.

Actually, Huo Feng didn’t have any video at all.

He was too overwhelmed last night to even think of recording a video.

However, seeing her so embarrassingly shy, Huo Feng couldn’t help but laugh behind her.

He quickly caught up with her, and the playful silhouette of the two of them became a beautiful scenic line in the youthful campus.

The young her and the young him, walking side by side on this shaded lane, these memories will be etched onto every pebble...

And this road, is called youth.

...

Pu Sangzhi felt that her mindset had undergone some changes recently.

She wasn’t sure if it was because her classmates called her ’Crown Princess Consort,’ or because Huo Feng had recently been claiming the ’boyfriend’ role, or maybe because Huo Feng’s performance at the Street Dance Club was incredibly charming...

She discovered that her feelings for Huo Feng were different.

In the following days, Huo Feng would still frequently appear in her sight.

Perhaps to avoid suspicion, he didn’t visit her many times a day. Almost only twice each day...

And typically, these visits were in the morning and evening.

In the morning, Huo Feng usually brought a bag of hot milk and sandwiches bought from The Only One and drank with her as they walked to the academic building.

Following the morning, he would leave his meal card with her to swipe freely.

Pu Sangzhi didn’t want to take his meal card, as she had money on her own card and didn’t need to use his.

However, at his insistent request, she reluctantly accepted it.

But with her finances sufficient, Pu Sangzhi tried not to use his card as much as possible.

She knew that overdoing it with the free meals could spoil the balance and it wouldn’t be good...

In the evening, Huo Feng usually walked her back to the girls’ dormitory after self-study classes.

The reason they stuck to these two particular times each day, as Huo Feng explained, was because the confession frenzy caused by his street dance performance was too significant; therefore, he wanted to lay low for a while, especially in places where many teachers were present—such as the cafeteria.

The path from the dormitory to the academic building was one every student took, so their presence together wouldn’t be as conspicuous there.

Thus, these time slots became the only times Huo Feng could be close to her.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday passed in this manner...

Soon, the weekend arrived.

Saturday was the day Pu Sangzhi had agreed to go on a date with him.

For this date, Huo Feng really made lots of plans! He filled several sheets of paper just with plans!

Although Huo Feng was very disappointed in his academic performance,

in front of a date, all these disappointments had to be thrown behind his head!

Huo Feng thought so.

On Friday evening, after walking her home, Huo Feng searched her closet for a long time and picked out a dress that looked slightly more ladylike.

It turned out to be her cousin’s dress...

This made Huo Feng seriously question Pu Sangzhi’s taste, and he decided to buy her a few more clothes during their date tomorrow.

After voluntarily picking out her outfit, Huo Feng went home happily.

He told Pu Sangzhi that he would definitely find suitable outfits and that they must dress as a matching couple the next day, fully embracing their first date!

All in all, Huo Feng seemed as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

It left Pu Sangzhi utterly speechless...

After Huo Feng left, Pu Sangzhi took out the dress and ironed it thoroughly before hanging it up neatly on a hanger, ready to wear it the next day.

Additionally, Pu Sangzhi also took out a bunch of makeup products she had borrowed from Zhu Dandan from her backpack, laying them out one by one on the table.

Looking at those jars and bottles, she found it somewhat troublesome but couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.

"Sigh..."

Pu Sangzhi sighed, her chin resting on the table, saying, "Why am I shooting myself in the foot? He didn’t even place well this time..."

Right...

Why tolerate him like this?

Why did her heart soften just watching him look so pitiful?

Why?

Pu Sangzhi had many questions in her heart.

Yet, while filled with questions, her heart, actually held an answer too.

She thought: perhaps she really had fallen for Huo Feng?

Did she like Huo Feng now?

Pu Sangzhi unknowingly asked herself.

Feelings aren’t like Olympiad math problems, so easily solved.

Feelings, they are like essays. A single topic can be written about in a thousand ways, never having a best answer, nor an exact one.

Pu Sangzhi thought: her current relationship with Huo Feng was quite good.

They were both still young, it was best to maintain this type of relationship.

Going further, developing too quickly, too intimately would mean a future too long, too prone to changes...

Taking a step back, she couldn’t bear it, nor did she want to. Huo Feng was so good; she didn’t want to lose him...

So, a relationship murky and ambiguous like this was best!

If it could be maintained for a long time, maintained until high school graduation, if he could still maintain his original intention by then, Pu Sangzhi would deem him the one for her lifetime.

Considering this, Pu Sangzhi inevitably said, "Huo Feng, can you hang on that long? Hm?"

After asking, suddenly, someone knocked on Pu Sangzhi’s room door.

Pu Sangzhi immediately got up and turned around, guiltily picking up a book to cover all the makeup.

She didn’t want her mom to see that she had prepared so much makeup for a date with Huo Feng!

That would definitely make her mom laugh at her!

Chen Huifen opened her room door, standing in the doorway, smiling at her, "Xiaosang, come with mom to the bank."

Pu Sangzhi stood up, asking, "Why? Isn’t it not yet salary day?"

Chen Huifen lightly laughed, "There’s some extra income, I want to transfer it to your aunt right away. Let’s pay off some of the two hundred thousand we borrowed from her family."

Pu Sangzhi was surprised, "Extra income?"

Chen Huifen nodded, "Let’s go to the bank together. There’s so much money, it’s not safe for mom to go alone."

Pu Sangzhi was even more surprised, "That much money?"

Chen Huifen beckoned, "Let’s go."

Although Pu Sangzhi didn’t know exactly what was happening, she obediently followed Chen Huifen.

The mother and daughter each carried a bag and left the house together.

Strangely, this time as they left, Chen Huifen told her, "From now on, no need to lock two doors anymore, no need to wear masks, no need to sneak around."

Pu Sangzhi was even more confused, "Why? Are you sure it’s safe now?"

Chen Huifen responded with a mysteriously unreadable smile, offering no explanation.

Together, the mother and daughter headed to the nearest Agriculture Bank.

Once they were inside the ATM lobby, Chen Huifen entered the card number, opened her bag, and a big bundle of RMB that appeared made Pu Sangzhi’s eyes widen in shock!

"Mom!"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but exclaim, "You, can you explain now? This is so much money!"

Chen Huifen just smiled and said nothing.

She continued to place the large bundle of money into the cash deposit machine, in several batches, finally transferring a total of 50,000 to her sister’s card.

Thus, the 450,000 they originally owed was now reduced to 400,000...

Pu Sangzhi, watching Chen Huifen handle such a large amount of money, couldn’t feel happy at all; instead, she felt extremely uneasy.

"Mom, where did the money come from? Don’t hide it from me, I’m worried!" Pu Sangzhi said.

Chen Huifen looked around cautiously, making sure there was no one nearby, then whispered to Pu Sangzhi, "He gave it."

Pu Sangzhi: "Him?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Chen Huifen lightly laughed, "On Christmas Eve night, he came back."

On Christmas Eve night, while Pu Sangzhi was in school sharing a tender moment with Huo Feng...

Outside the school, her father had finally summoned the courage to knock on their door...

On Christmas Eve, life was finally graced with peace.
