Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 30 - 29, Huo Feng is revising!

At six o’clock, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng finally left Lin Qianqian’s home together.

When they were leaving, Wu Cuidi had kept Huo Feng for a long time, hoping he would stay for dinner. Of course, he politely declined.

As they walked out of Lin Qianqian’s home, Pu Sangzhi headed straight towards her own house without looking back, with Huo Feng carrying his backpack and following her steps to her doorstep.

"Hey."

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but turn around and push him, "Don’t come to my house!"

Huo Feng was pushed by Pu Sangzhi’s hands, feeling the temperature of her palms through his clothes, and with a dissatisfied chest, he nudged forward, saying with a smug smile, "Now that I’m here, I might as well say hi to my future mother-in-law before I go, right?"

"Who..." Who’s your future mother-in-law!

Pu Sangzhi was so angered that she felt choked up, took a deep breath, and then said, "Huo Feng, you go!"

Huo Feng leaned toward the inside of the house, "I promise I won’t talk nonsense in front of your mother, just let me greet her, alright?"

Pu Sangzhi took two steps forward, managing to push him a bit further away, "No! You go!"

Huo Feng enjoyed the ’skinship’ from being pushed by her, his face sporting a mischievous smile, "Sangzhi, why don’t you just push me all the way to the alley’s end? Or perhaps, to the bus stop?" Or even, to the end of time and earth would be fine too!

"Hey!"

Only then did Pu Sangzhi realize that Huo Feng, this rascal, was thinking of all sorts of messed-up things, and she quickly withdrew her hands, glaring at him furiously, "Just go, and don’t look for me before the monthly exam!"

Huo Feng sighed deeply, "Why do you always bring up such buzzkill topics."

Not only did Pu Sangzhi bring them up, but she also raised a finger to remind him, "Remember, if you don’t get into the top two hundred, never come to see me again!"

"Sigh..."

Huo Feng sighed even longer, frowning, "I’ve never seen a woman like you... one who loves scores so much. Scores can’t be eaten, used, or spent."

Pu Sangzhi looked up, "Scores can get you into Tsinghua."

Huo Feng was suddenly at a loss for words, quietened by her retort.

Seeing that he seemed to have taken it in, Pu Sangzhi quickly reiterated solemnly, "200, remember! If you don’t get it, don’t chase after me!"

Huo Feng responded with an "Oh," his acceptance lacking any confidence.

Pu Sangzhi turned and walked away, entering her house with only her silhouette visible.

In that long alley, only Huo Feng was left, his lone shadow elongating, his young heart full of countless sorrows, melding into the air and fluttering with the wind.

Huo Feng felt... he was about to get cold!

...

The summer night was filled with stifling heat.

Huo Feng’s mood was like a trapped hot air, unable to explode, only slowly dissipating.

That evening, after dinner, Huo Feng locked himself in his room and devoted himself to one thing... revising!

He was very quiet tonight, no games, no voice chats, no yelling or shouting of killings and fights in his room.

Throughout the night, Shen Yu passed by his room door several times, her eyes lingering with surprise.

Eventually, she couldn’t contain her curiosity, pushed the door open, and glanced at Huo Feng.

She had originally assumed that Huo Feng must have partied outside all day and come back to sleep, which is why he was so quiet.

But in reality, after opening the door, Shen Yu saw a sight she hadn’t seen in a long time—Huo Feng was studying!

Shen Yu’s mouth hung open in shock for a while, and it took her a minute to collect herself. She couldn’t help but walk into the room, up to Huo Feng’s side, and stop.

She didn’t want to disturb Huo Feng’s studying, just stared at him with piercing eyes...

Honestly, her son was good-looking with clear features; when he wasn’t being mischievous... no, when he was serious, he really was quite charming!

The more Shen Yu stared, the more lost in thought she became...

"Mom." It was Huo Feng who spoke first.

Shen Yu’s wandering thoughts snapped back: "Huh?"

"I’m hungry," Huo Feng said.

Shen Yu quickly responded, "Oh... I’ll go peel some fruit."

"Mom."

Huo Feng called out to her again, "Is Dad busy?"

Shen Yu pointed to the study next door, "Writing a thesis. Says the title evaluation is coming soon."

Huo Feng swiveled his chair, turning sideways to face Shen Yu, "Mom, can you say a few good words to old Huo for me, ask him to spare some time to tutor me?"

"Ah?"

Shen Yu opened her mouth wide in surprise, "You want old Huo to tutor you? Aren’t you afraid of arguing with him?"

Of course he was afraid!

From childhood to adulthood, there hadn’t been a time when Huo Feng could win an argument against old Huo.

Moreover, since he was a child, Huo Feng had never really gotten along with Huo Mingshan, and the father and son couldn’t spend ten minutes alone together without getting into a quarrel.

But right now, what other choice did Huo Feng have?

If he didn’t find someone to cram him with lessons soon, he was going to be singing "it’s all over" in front of Pu Sangzhi!

"Help me out here, I’m in a hurry."

Huo Feng locked Shen Yu with a pleading look, "Sangzhi wants me to rank within the top 200 in our department, or she won’t let me pursue her. The monthly test is next week, I’m desperate."

Shen Yu burst into laughter upon hearing this reason, "So it’s for her, huh... Silly boy, if old Huo finds out about this reason, do you think he would help you?"

"Don’t, please..."

Huo Feng became anxious, "I’m telling you this because I trust you, don’t tell old Huo! Aren’t you still my beautiful and gentle mother?"

Shen Yu couldn’t help but laugh again after being sweet-talked by Huo Feng, "Don’t try to butter me up. I might not always be on your side, you know."

"Mom, be kind. Even if you don’t help me, don’t sabotage me! The gods are watching from above, if you spoil your son’s chance for love, even the matchmaker god won’t stand for it."

"You and love destiny, huh."

Unable to hold back her laughter, Shen Yu gave Huo Feng’s head a push, "Stop it with the flattery. That’s not the way to ask for a favor."

"Mom..."

Out of options, Huo Feng started shaking Shen Yu’s hand, "If you’re truly my loving mother, then pamper your precious son just this once. Don’t always dote on your husband. For over a decade you’ve never sided with me. It’s about time the tides turned in my favor, right?"

Despite Huo Feng’s domineering presence at school and his tough-guy stance, he knew how to act spoiled and cuddly at home!

Shen Yu was left with no choice but to give in to Huo Feng’s antics and promised with a laugh, "Alright, I’ll support you this time and go talk to old Huo."

"Ah, Mom, you’re so beautiful."

Huo Feng praised with a smile, "Your kindness is shining right now."

Shen Yu instantly felt a chill run down her spine, "Scram, scram, scram..."

...

10 minutes later, Huo Mingshan arrived at Huo Feng’s room with a face that could rival Bao Zheng’s for its grimness.

The father and son began to review in what could be described as perfect harmony.

1 minute...

3 minutes...

10 minutes... and Huo Mingshan exploded!

Huo Mingshan: "Have you actually been studying properly? Were you sleepwalking through classes? You’ve got such a simple question wrong!"

Huo Feng: "..." Damn, is he cursing me?

Huo Mingshan: "Is your brain filled with paste! Focus on the problem, are you even using the right formula!"

Huo Feng: "..." Crap, is that an insult?

Huo Mingshan: "School has been back for over a month, and you haven’t memorized a single English word! What’s the point of attending school at all! You might as well go work on a construction site!"

Huo Feng: "..." Damn it, I can’t take this anymore!

Huo Mingshan: "Huo Feng! Whose son are you! How could your mother and I, both teachers, end up raising such a piece of crap!"

Huo Feng pointed towards the door: "Father, please gracefully roll out of my room."

Then, Huo Mingshan picked up a slipper and swung it at Huo Feng, "You little scoundrel, you dare tell me to roll out!"

Huo Feng thought to himself: Crap... Was it a moment of madness that made me ask old Huo for help?
