Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 266 - 260. Huo Feng, you are very important to me! (4)
Chapter 266: 260. Huo Feng, you are very important to me! (4)
Monday marked the graduation ceremony.
At 8 AM, students arrived at school to receive their final exam report cards.
Following that was a morning assembly on the sports field, along with class meetings...
An entire morning passed like a routine process.
Pu Sangzhi explained to Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao in detail about tutoring Huo Feng and his ten underlings.
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao both agreed that it was okay, even though it would take up most of the winter vacation. They believed it was better to be busy than idle at home.
Moreover, this was a great opportunity to mingle with so many male animals!
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao felt that this chance could be used to get out of singlehood! It was quite nice!
For this, Pu Sangzhi thanked Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao.
After the morning assembly, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng set off on the way home together.
Huo Feng’s final exam results came out, and unsurprisingly, he didn’t make it into the top 100...
However, he had made significant progress in his section, ranking 158th this time, and 8th in his class, comfortably within the upper-middle tier.
This result once again surprised the class teacher, Zheng Qiu.
The homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu thought to herself that she needed to observe Huo Feng for a while longer, as she couldn’t quite believe how quickly Huo Feng had improved.
When he first enrolled, he was ranked over 600 in his section. In just one term, he vaulted to around the 100th mark.
Such rapid progress genuinely felt inflated.
Therefore, the homeroom teacher Zheng Qiu was not yet happy for Huo Feng.
Of course, Huo Feng didn’t know about this.
Huo Feng only knew that he was very happy!
While escorting Pu Sangzhi home, he kept saying to her, "I ranked 158th this time! Isn’t that awesome? It’s a complete turnaround from before, jumping by more than 100 places, cool or what?"
He finally had something to boast about in front of Pu Sangzhi.
Although Pu Sangzhi still firmly held the top spot in their division.
And after the last competition results came out, Pu Sangzhi remained the city-wide champion, tied with Yan Siyuan.
Speaking of the last competition, Huo Feng’s performance was actually not bad either, as he made it into the top 150.
Such a placement also qualified Huo Feng to participate in the national competition to be held in Hangzhou next year.
Therefore, Huo Feng’s earnest efforts ultimately paid off.
The outcomes of these two tests, though not miraculous, were satisfying enough for Huo Feng.
Pu Sangzhi personally witnessed all of Huo Feng’s improvements and felt quite a sense of achievement.
However, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t let Huo Feng get carried away, so she didn’t overly praise him. She simply said, "Because you didn’t make it into the top 100, starting tomorrow, I’ll continue tutoring you. From tomorrow until just before the New Year, you must report to my house. Of course, I’ll give you one day off so we can go out and have some fun."
After hearing the first part of her sentence, Huo Feng was very sad.
But after hearing her last sentence, all his sorrow was suddenly forgotten!
Huo Feng immediately laughed, his almond eyes crinkling into a narrow slit, "Really? I can have a day out for a date?"
Pu Sangzhi held up a finger solemnly and said, "It’s definitely not a date! We won’t wear couple outfits again! And I won’t let you plan anything either!"
Huo Feng’s smile collapsed instantly as he exclaimed, "Then what’s the point? Are you arranging it?"
Pu Sangzhi nodded and said, "Xiaocao mentioned she wanted to go to the comic convention, and I promised her. But, I’d like you to come with us and by the way, cover the cost of the convention tickets."
"Oh~"
Huo Feng couldn’t help but point at her with a finger, "Am I just around for the ticket fees?"
Pu Sangzhi laughed, "If that’s how you want to think of it, suit yourself."
Huo Feng clicked his tongue twice, "You, woman, are becoming more and more shameless. You spend my money with such audacity! Can’t you beat around the bush a bit, say some sweet words? If you said, ’It’s not about the money, I just want to invite you out to have fun,’ I might be slightly touched. But now..."
Pu Sangzhi gave him a sidelong glance, "You think I’m materialistic now?"
Huo Feng was immediately intimidated by her look and hurriedly waved his hands, "Not at all, not at all."
Pu Sangzhi chuckled softly, "Tomorrow, I’ll have Dandan, Miaomiao, and Xiaocao come over to help you guys with tutoring. With more people, it’s easier to teach. Otherwise, I alone would be too tired."
"Wow!"
Huo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Are you kidding me? Three people to tutor me! Have I exhausted you?!"
Pu Sangzhi replied, "It’s not just one person; it’s a dozen or so."
"Wow!"
Huo Feng yelled again, and after he did, he couldn’t help but ask, "Are you taking on private work again? It’s not another middle school student from a relative’s family, is it? And now you’re taking on a whole class at once?"
Pu Sangzhi turned her head and poked his chest with her finger, "It’s your class! Your ten brothers! Starting tomorrow, I’m going to teach all 11 of you!"
Huo Feng was instantly stunned.
He furrowed his brows and opened his mouth, taking a long while to come to his senses.
"Who asked you to teach them?"
When he finally snapped out of it, he was completely resistant: "Just teaching me for free is enough! And now taking them ten for free too, you’re not a charity worker, what’s with the excessive kindness!"
Pu Sangzhi was tutoring Lin Qianqian, who paid, so Huo Feng had nothing to say.
Pu Sangzhi was tutoring Huo Feng because he had shamelessly insisted on it, and it was also his way of getting close to Pu Sangzhi.
But tutoring two people was already exhausting...
Huo Feng couldn’t bear to hand over his ten younger brothers to her as well...
With just the ten of them, Huo Feng’s level was enough to teach them!
Why use a cleaver to kill a chicken?!
"Don’t teach them! Just me!"
Huo Feng said angrily and gestured with his hand, "It’s already exasperating enough teaching just me, let alone a whole class! You think you’re a professional teacher or what? You’re not even charging tuition, and you’re still a student. What about you? What if your grades suffer? In short, it’s just not ok, absolutely not! I’m going to call them back right now!"
That said, Huo Feng took out his phone, ready to call his brothers.
But Pu Sangzhi quickly stopped him, saying, "Don’t call them back, I agreed to it."
"Anyone would know they approached you by just thinking with their feet!"
Huo Feng switched his phone to the other hand, insisting on making the call, "You can’t handle it, you’re already tired enough. If it comes down to it, I’ll teach them. With my current level, I’m more than capable!"
Pu Sangzhi hurriedly caught his other hand and expressed strongly, "Hey, really, don’t call them, I’m serious!"
Huo Feng knitted his brows, "Why? You’re already exhausted, and you didn’t need to study to begin with. Now, your entire winter break has been monopolized by me. Plus, there’s a ton of housework at home, and key point is, I’m not even paying you tuition. Moreover, they probably won’t pay you tuition either! Why are you looking for trouble for yourself?"
"Huo Feng..."
Pu Sangzhi looked at him steadily, "I’m teaching them for the same reason I’m teaching you. They want to learn, and I have the capability, so I’ll help. Otherwise, why do you think I agreed to teach you in the first place?"
Huo Feng retorted, "But I’m your boyfriend!"
Pu Sangzhi held her forehead, "You’re not..."
Huo Feng raised his hand, "Never mind that. Just tell me, are you sure you want to teach all ten of them?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and said, "I promised them I’d teach them for 1 week to see their learning attitude. If their attitude is bad, then I’ll stop teaching them."
Huo Feng nodded, "Alright, then I’ll make them pay, and I’ll pay too. You can’t be worn out for nothing!"
"Hey, don’t..."
Pu Sangzhi once again stopped Huo Feng’s hand as he was about to make the call, "I’d feel bad taking money. They’re all your brothers."
Huo Feng said, "I have the nerve to ask, why can’t you have the nerve to accept!"
Pu Sangzhi frowned seriously, "Because you’re all brothers. I don’t want to leave them with a bad impression. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have agreed to teach them, so because of you, I can’t charge them tuition."
She said ’because of you’ twice...
Both times, they struck deep into Huo Feng’s heart.
At that moment, Huo Feng was completely dumbfounded.
His gaze was burning as he locked onto her, his pupils twinkling like stars, with her reflection, and his world, in his eyes.
Seeing that he had fallen silent, Pu Sangzhi reached for his phone, hid it behind her back, and added, "They are important people to you. I want to treat them the same way you do. You show loyalty to them, and so must I. Because, you’re also important to me."
The word ’important’, once again at that moment, struck Huo Feng’s heart!
Suddenly, he felt his heart thump violently, pounding against his chest!
In that moment, Huo Feng felt that she had accepted him as one of her own.
It was as if she had truly taken her place as his girlfriend...
Huo Feng was deeply moved!
And when he was genuinely moved, he wasn’t all smooth talk and bluster.
When deeply touched, he was very sincere.
His look towards Pu Sangzhi was very serious...
The next second, Huo Feng stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace.
Right there at the entrance of the alley, in front of the neighbors, he hugged Pu Sangzhi tightly...
