Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 278 - 272, Brother Feng, Ye Xi, face it head-on! (3)

The next day, which marked the third day of winter break, was also the third day of review sessions.

Everything proceeded just as it had the day before, following a routine.

At 8:30 a.m., groups of people gathered at the secret base from all directions of the city.

Pu Sangzhi also rode over on Huo Feng’s electric moped...

As the weather grew colder, Pu Sangzhi dismounted from the moped, her hands red with cold, and returned the motorcycle helmet to Huo Feng.

When Huo Feng took it, he also noticed her cold-reddened hands.

He hastily hung the helmet on the moped, took Pu Sangzhi’s hands in his, and rubbed them vigorously, breathing warm air on her small hands.

"I just realized you don’t even have gloves. Why didn’t you say anything?"

Huo Feng’s brows slightly furrowed, "I’ll go buy you a pair of gloves in a bit."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, silently observing his actions and said nothing.

Watching Huo Feng rub her hands and his slightly furrowed brows, not only did Pu Sangzhi’s hands feel warm, but her heart did as well.

"In a bit..."

Huo Feng kept rubbing, but still felt her hands were ice cold. He pulled off his scarf, lifted her hands to his neck, and pressed them tightly against it.

At that moment, his neck felt the cold, causing his body to shiver uncontrollably.

But indeed, Pu Sangzhi felt warmed.

She couldn’t help but smile, "Hey, do you really have to do this? It’s as if I’m torturing you."

Huo Feng laughed as well: "It’s okay, I’ve gotten used to being tormented by you. My heart’s getting stronger!"

Pu Sangzhi: "Don’t falsely accuse me, I’ve never tormented you."

Huo Feng: "Really? You don’t sound guilty at all when you say that?"

Pu Sangzhi turned her head to one side, "No guilt here!"

Huo Feng: "Tsk tsk... Your skill at lying has really improved."

Pu Sangzhi: "Hey..."

The two continued to tease and laugh as usual, the atmosphere harmonious and filled with a touch of warmth.

Meanwhile, at the back door of the secret base, a white private car was slowly pulling up.

As the car door opened, Ye Qingcao, with her backpack slung over her shoulder, stepped out, "Brother, it’s that little house right in front. See it?"

From the driver’s seat, Brother Ye Xi nodded, "Got it, you go ahead, I’ll be there once I’ve parked the car."

Ye Qingcao waved to him, "Then I’ll go ahead!"

With that, she quickly ran towards the secret base.

When Ye Qingcao reached the main entrance of the secret base, she happened to see Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng!

"Sangzhi, Brother Feng! I’m here!"

Ye Qingcao shouted excitedly and ran towards them.

She was as exuberant as if injected with adrenaline, nearly running past them in her haste.

Fortunately, Huo Feng caught her head with one hand, forcefully stopping her, thus preventing Ye Qingcao from throwing herself into Pu Sangzhi’s arms...

"Good morning."

Once Ye Qingcao steadied herself, she didn’t mind Huo Feng’s roughness and continued smiling brightly: "Sangzhi, Brother Feng, I have something to tell you two! My brother, he..."

"Stop!"

Huo Feng instantly reached out and grabbed Ye Qingcao’s mouth, forcing her to shut up.

"Mmm!"

Under his grip, Ye Qingcao mumbled a muffled sound and frowned in protest.

But Huo Feng didn’t care.

Huo Feng sternly warned her, "Little Green Grass, I’m warning you, because of your blabbering about Brother Ye Xi yesterday, I was in a bad mood all day! Right now, I’m feeling pretty good, but if you dare mention Brother Ye Xi again, I’ll show you no mercy! I’ll hit you for sure!"

"Mmm..."

Ye Qingdao rolled her eyes, speechless.

Huo Feng finally relaxed the grip on her mouth, then very disdainfully wiped his hands off on her clothes.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Qingcao dodged past Huo Feng and said to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, my Brother, he..."

"Hey!"

Huo Feng stepped forward, using his body to shield Pu Sangzhi, his eyes glaring as he scolded Ye Qingcao, "I said no mentioning Brother Ye Xi! If you dare say Brother Ye Xi one more time, I’ll make you pay right now!"

Huo Feng warned Ye Qingcao relentlessly.

Just as his warning ended, they suddenly heard Pu Sangzhi shout, "Brother Ye Xi!"

Huo Feng immediately frowned and turned to Pu Sangzhi, "You aren’t allowed to mention Brother Ye Xi either! Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

"Dog?"

Just then, a rather magnetic male voice suddenly interjected into their conversation.

The man asked quite surprised, "Did you just... were you talking about me?"

His voice confirmed his identity.

Suddenly, Huo Feng, who had been speaking ill of someone behind their back, was caught red-handed!

This left Huo Feng, who was still facing away from Ye Xi at this moment, in an extremely awkward situation!

Pu Sangzhi stepped aside from in front of Huo Feng, aligning her gaze with Ye Xi...

Seeing him, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but smile, "Brother Ye Xi, you’re here."

"Yeah!"

Ye Qingcao nodded, "I was just about to tell you guys that my brother came. He drove me here today!"

It felt like it had been two years since she had seen Ye Xi.

Pu Sangzhi observed him closely, from the Converse sneakers on his feet to the black denim jeans on his legs to the simple white sweatshirt and black long coat he wore... this outfit exuded a warm and simple texture.

He looked just like before... like a likable older brother next door.

His facial features hadn’t changed much; perhaps some baby fat had left his face, making it more chiseled and his features more defined.

But the temperament that shone through his brows was still very gentle, without a hint of aggressiveness or overbearingness.

At just one glance, Pu Sangzhi could tell he definitely hadn’t changed.

"Xiaosang, long time no see."

Ye Xi greeted her, his voice gentle and his tone soft, exuding a sense of warmth all around him.

It was a very comfortable feeling, a trait unique to Ye Xi.

Pu Sangzhi walked two steps forward to officially start their conversation, "Brother Ye Xi, it really has been a long time. How have you been?"

Encountering someone as gentle as Ye Xi, Pu Sangzhi’s demeanor also softened.

She had never raised her voice at Ye Xi from childhood to adulthood, and it was the same now.

And her attitude actually made Huo Feng quite uncomfortable.

Because Pu Sangzhi never acted this way towards Huo Feng...

Ye Xi chuckled lightly, "I’m quite well, just always worried about you."

Speaking, Ye Xi’s brow also furrowed slightly, "Back then, when I heard the company was in trouble, I went to Shanghai to find you. I searched several places but couldn’t find you. You had moved, and the school said you hadn’t attended classes for a long time. I almost thought I wouldn’t see you again."

"Right!"

Ye Qingcao nodded, "My brother found out and even took leave from school to go to Shanghai! He took a week of personal leave and two weeks of sick leave, stayed in Shanghai for a long time, but just couldn’t find you. He was so worried about you!"

Ye Qingcao was absolutely speaking the truth, not favoring her brother at all.

However, Ye Qingcao, being rather oblivious, definitely did not realize that her words were actually hurting Huo Feng.

Huo Feng had already turned around while they were talking, looking heavily at the three of them, his eyes filled with resentment!

Ye Qingcao didn’t notice Huo Feng either, just focused on discussing the past. freewebnσvel.cøm

Hearing about all Ye Xi had done for her, Pu Sangzhi felt even more grateful, "Thank you, Brother Ye Xi."

Ye Xi shook his head, "As long as you’re alright. It’s been two years, and I’ve really wanted to see you. Do you have time to talk?"

"Hmm."

Pu Sangzhi nodded.

After responding, something seemed to occur to her, she shook her head, "But I can’t today, I need to tutor Huo Feng."

Saying this, Pu Sangzhi turned to Huo Feng and introduced him, "Huo Feng, this is Brother Ye Xi, say hello."

As she said this, Pu Sangzhi gave Huo Feng a look, signaling him to drop the awkwardness and greet him politely first.

Huo Feng was not someone ignorant of propriety.

Even though he knew the man before him was his rival, even though he was already displeased with Ye Xi, he still managed to suppress his anger.

With a forced smile, Huo Feng said, "Hello, I’m Sangzhi’s boyfriend, Huo Feng."

He had to introduce himself this way because only by doing so could he take the initiative and gain the upper hand!

However, Pu Sangzhi didn’t quite give him face, she told Ye Xi, "He’s a classmate."

Huo Feng tugged at her hand, emphatically restating, "Boyfriend!"

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him sideways, "Hey."

Huo Feng argued, "A future boyfriend is still a boyfriend!"

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Seeing them quarrel, Ye Xi timely interjected, "Xiaosang."

Pu Sangzhi: "Yeah?"

Ye Xi chuckled, "Tonight, I’m coming to pick up Qingcao. Let’s find a place to eat and have a chat, okay?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Okay."

Huo Feng objected, "Not okay. I’ll take you home!"
