Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 300 - 293, I, Huo Feng, will protect her for life (3)

Then, Pan Bo was dragged by Wen Miao to her family’s martial arts school, where he was forced to huff and puff through a session!

He sweated a wave, practiced a set of moves, and underwent some intense exercise...

Also, tonight, Pan Bo and Wen Miao’s relationship took a qualitative leap.

They went from being very ordinary friends to the best of friends!

However, there was still a certain chance for them to develop further...

Because, as long as they hadn’t sworn brotherhood, there was always the possibility of taking things further between a man and a woman.

...

Around 7 p.m., Huo Feng and his group had finished dinner and got into Ye Xi’s car, driven away by Ye Xi.

Ye Qingcao was in a good mood today and wanted to sleep over at Pu Sangzhi’s house, which Ye Xi agreed to.

So, Ye Xi directly dropped the two girls off at Pu Sangzhi’s home, letting them out of the car at the entrance to the alley.

Ye Xi originally wanted to visit Chen Huifen as well but was refused by Pu Sangzhi.

She claimed it was too late tonight and told them to go home first. She promised that if there was a chance during the day in the future, she would welcome them with Chen Huifen.

Thus, Ye Xi gave up the idea of visiting Pu Sangzhi’s home.

His car took Huo Feng away from the alley entrance, with the next destination to drop Huo Feng home.

After the two girls got out of the car, only Huo Feng and Ye Xi, the two guys, were left in the car’s cabin.

The atmosphere was not awkward but unusually quiet.

After Pu Sangzhi left, Huo Feng fell into silence and didn’t talk much.

One reason was because Huo Feng didn’t have much to chat about with Ye Xi.

The second was that, without Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng didn’t need to pretend to network with Ye Xi.

In fact, Huo Feng was so enthusiastic toward Ye Xi mainly out of consideration for Pu Sangzhi’s feelings.

Huo Feng didn’t want Pu Sangzhi to be stuck between him and Ye Xi, so the socially adept Huo Feng wouldn’t put his woman in such an awkward position.

Because the car cabin was so quiet, Ye Xi couldn’t bear the silence.

So, Ye Xi broke the silence first by asking Huo Feng, "May I ask a presumptuous question? How well do you know Sangzhi?"

Huo Feng thought: Knowing it’s presumptuous, how can you still have the face to ask? Isn’t that a bit low in EQ!

Of course, after thinking it over, Huo Feng still politely replied, "Quite well. I’m already part of their family. I know everything that goes on in their home, and she turns to me when she has problems. In their house where there are no men, I am the only man. Sangzhi relies on me a lot."

Huo Feng said this rather smugly and arrogantly.

The essence of his words was mainly to tell Ye Xi that his relationship with Pu Sangzhi was already deep, not allowing anyone else to intervene.

However, from Huo Feng’s words, Ye Xi picked up on something strange, "Her home doesn’t have a man? What about her father?"

"Her father..."

Huo Feng paused, thinking: Could it be this fellow doesn’t know about Sangzhi’s father taking off?

If he didn’t know, naturally, Huo Feng wouldn’t let him find out.

So, Huo Feng casually replied, "I don’t know where her father is, I heard he went off to deal with debts."

Huo Feng lied nonchalantly, and Ye Xi believed him.

"You mean, her father went to handle debts and left only her and her mother at home?" Ye Xi asked.

Huo Feng replied, "It’s temporary like that. But it’s not really because their home still has me. Although I’m not mature enough, at least I’m a man, enough to hold up half the sky for their household!"

Not like you, that dog Ye Xi...

Your family walked away scot-free from the company’s bankruptcy debts!

Huo Feng despised him and his family from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, Ye Xi let out a soft sigh, sounding somewhat melancholy, "Sangzhi has it tough, as does uncle."

"Yes, life is never easy..."

Huo Feng followed along with him in one breath, intentionally sighing and saying, "Life is somewhat partial, isn’t it? Just take the same accident, for example. There’s always someone who dies, someone who luckily escapes, and someone who’s left paralyzed. Who can you blame for that? You can only blame fate..." Of course, he also blamed some selfish people.

In his heart, Huo Feng was still silently despising.

Ye Xi failed to detect the mockery in Huo Feng’s words. He just focused on himself and said, "I don’t know if you’re sincere about Sangzhi. But if you do respect her, I hope you’ll listen to me."

Huo Feng pursed his lips unhappily and didn’t respond.

Because he didn’t want to listen to Ye Xi’s nonsense!

Ye Xi, busy driving, didn’t notice Huo Feng’s expression and continued, "What I mean is, if you really like her and want to go far with her, give her more freedom during the three years of high school. Don’t force her to be with you."

Huo Feng was already displeased with Ye Xi, and after Ye Xi said these words, Huo Feng found him even more annoying!

But out of politeness, Huo Feng still nodded as if he was taking it seriously, "Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control."

Ye Xi then said, "Actually, I admit you’re a very impressive guy. Although I don’t know you well, from spending this whole day with you, I can tell that you have your exceptional qualities."

Sitting in the back seat, Huo Feng looked at Ye Xi with contempt in his eyes, "Oh?"

Ye Xi continued, "You have so many good brothers, articulate and good at making friends. In terms of social dealings, you’re really quite good."

Huo Feng took a deep breath, thinking: I’ve always been popular, I don’t need you to tell me that!

Ye Xi then said, "However, in my opinion, you’re still somewhat impulsive, which could be related to your age. So, you really are still too young in high school. During these three years, I hope you can maintain a normal student relationship with Sangzhi. It’s fine to pursue her, as long as you don’t cross that line."

Huo Feng nodded, "Hmm..."

However, Huo Feng thought to himself: Get lost! Who do you think you are? Managing my love life! If I wasn’t showing you respect by calling you ’brother,’ you’re just an old love rival, a has-been!

As Ye Xi noticed Huo Feng’s reduced responses, he softened his tone and added with a light laugh, "Actually, I can tell that Sangzhi is quite fond of you."

This time, Huo Feng had to admit, "She does like me, I know that."

Ye Xi then said, "For these three years, I entrust her to you."

Huo Feng responded, "Don’t worry, she’ll be my responsibility for a lifetime."

Ye Xi’s lips curled slightly, then he said, "I went to Shanghai last year to find her. I looked in many places and couldn’t find her. I visited her old house, which was auctioned off by the bank. I also went to her school, and the teachers said she had dropped out. After that, I kept looking in various places, always missing her by just a little bit..."

Huo Feng asked, "What do you mean?"

Ye Xi continued, "I found the apartment she rented, the landlord said she moved out just two days before. I also found her abandoned luggage in the park and even went to hotels, finding records of her staying there the night before... During that time, she was going through a very rough patch, and I wasn’t able to help her. Perhaps that’s why your appearance was timely."

Huo Feng remained silent...

Speaking like this, Ye Xi gradually realized he had said too much.

Because even he could hear in his own words that his feelings for Sangzhi were different.

Ye Xi took a deep breath and let it out slowly, sighing, "I’m not saying this for any particular reason. I just want to tell you, if you really like her, protect her, respect her. She’s a soul that’s been wounded, someone who survived a very tough period. You mustn’t, absolutely mustn’t, mess up the rhythm of her life."

Hearing this, Huo Feng couldn’t face Ye Xi with his usual carefree attitude.

Gradually, Huo Feng became serious and respectful when entering this topic, and he assured, "I understand."

Ye Xi said, "Thank you."

Huo Feng replied, "You don’t need to thank me. What I’m doing is what I should do, and I know how to treat her. Be assured, I care about her more than you do."

Ye Xi acknowledged, "Hmm."

In fact, Ye Xi had his regrets.

He was already at this age, soon to break through.

But all his wishes had to come to an abrupt end on this day.

Ye Xi had watched her grow up, seen her transition from a little girl into adolescence, becoming someone who lived in his heart.

Yet, when she needed him most, he couldn’t be with her, couldn’t help her.

Having missed that period of time, one might miss out on a lot in life...

Perhaps the moment he gave up searching for her to focus on his college entrance exams was the moment he officially missed his chance with her.

Now, another boy who appeared by her side had clearly become her new support, the second turning point in her life.

Ye Xi conceded.
