Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 31 - 30, in life, that’s her!

On Sunday, Huo Feng was persistent as ever and came to Lin Qianqian’s house again.

With his silver tongue and a face that elders found particularly endearing, Huo Feng was once more warmly welcomed by Wu Cuidi.

In the afternoon, while Pu Sangzhi was tutoring Lin Qianqian, Huo Feng, just like the day before, quietly stayed by the side.

After Pu Sangzhi’s tutoring session the previous afternoon, Lin Qianqian felt less nervous writing the test papers today and managed to answer many questions on her own.

Pu Sangzhi didn’t have to watch her answer each question one by one anymore.

While Lin Qianqian worked on the problems by herself, Pu Sangzhi found time to tutor Huo Feng.

She circled the key points in Huo Feng’s book, telling him to study and memorize them on his own.

Because of her gesture, Huo Feng felt an excitement blossom in his heart.

He thought that Pu Sangzhi must really want him to join her at Tsinghua, otherwise why would she tutor him so diligently?

"Sangzhi, you must be my lucky star."

Suddenly, Huo Feng blurted out this sentence while staring at Pu Sangzhi.

Pu Sangzhi, her head down circling key points, replied without even lifting her eyelids, "I’m just happy to help, I do this for everyone."

Huo Feng didn’t believe her and responded, "Even if you admit you’re training me, I won’t make fun of you. It’s normal for a girlfriend to have high expectations for her boyfriend. Everyone wants to marry an outstanding man, right?"

Pu Sangzhi sighed, not knowing where Huo Feng’s twisted thoughts were heading this time.

She wanted to scold him, but then she thought that after the monthly exam, she would be completely rid of Huo Feng, so she decided to endure it.

However, seeing that she didn’t speak, Huo Feng thought she was agreeing with him and said with a smile, "Sangzhi, actually I, Huo Feng, am quite good. Aside from my grades being a little weak, I hardly have any faults. And besides, I’m only weak when compared to you, otherwise, I’m quite decent compared to others."

Pu Sangzhi rolled her eyes internally, unable to help herself from saying, "Other than looking decent, you have no other good qualities."

"Really?"

Huo Feng sat up, grinning, "You think I look decent? Are you also interested in my face? Hey, that’s fantastic, when I fell for you, I also started with your face."

Pu Sangzhi frowned, wondering to herself: Why does he keep emphasizing such a lousy reason? Is falling for someone just because of their face something to be proud of?

Anyway, Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t fall for someone just because of their face.

What she wished for in a partner was someone with substance, a cultured man as gentle as water. A scoundrel like Huo Feng, who only had his looks to offer, was certainly not her ideal partner and couldn’t catch her eye.

"Sangzhi, actually, the bet about the top 200 isn’t that important, right?"

Huo Feng seized the opportunity and said, "As long as I get into Tsinghua in the future, we can still date. So, whether I rank within the top 200 now isn’t that important, right?"

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and pushed the book with the circled key points in front of Huo Feng, "Read the book, and stop talking."

She really didn’t feel like talking to Huo Feng.

Look, she wasn’t even responding to Huo Feng, and he was already talking so much. If she responded even once or twice, Huo Feng would push the conversation further, making endless extrapolations from a single point.

Huo Feng took the book she handed over, and seeing her handwriting on it, he felt a warmth in his heart and joy blossomed on his face.

"Look, the key points marked by my girlfriend. Tell me, how could I possibly not get into Tsinghua?"

"I don’t have a boyfriend," Pu Sangzhi clarified solemnly.

"Okay, future girlfriend," Huo Feng happily continued.

Pu Sangzhi ignored him, turned her head, and then addressed Lin Qianqian, "After finishing this assignment, you can take a ten-minute break."

Lin Qianqian finally felt noticed, "Okay, okay, I really want to go out for some fresh air."

The dog food aroma filling the room was nearly making her nauseous!

...

The tutoring for Lin Qianqian was supposed to end at 5 pm, but since Lin Qianqian was such a slow learner, it ran overtime.

After it ended at five, Pu Sangzhi went home to wash her hair, take a bath, and pack her things for school.

Back then, Huo Feng wasn’t at Lin Qianqian’s house; he was standing at Pu Sangzhi’s doorstep with his backpack slung over his shoulder.

Lin Qianqian and Wu Cuidi had asked him to wait at their place, but Huo Feng had kindly refused.

Because he felt that without Sangzhi, being there alone was meaningless.

He just wanted to be somewhere he could see Pu Sangzhi, wanted to glimpse her with just a turn of his eyes.

From her kitchen window, the occasional passing figure could be seen, and Huo Feng found joy just in watching.

Inside, Sangzhi had finished tidying things up, and there was still time to spare.

So, she decided to do the dishes.

The sink was right by the glass window and standing there, Sangzhi’s silhouette was perfectly cast upon it.

Outside, Huo Feng looked up at the window, his lips curving upward, revealing a row of uniform white teeth.

This time, he didn’t call out to her; he simply looked on in silence.

During that moment of reverie, a feeling of peaceful times firmly took hold in the young man’s heart.

It was this moment, this very instant, that the belief in his young heart became even more resolute and unwavering—he thought, he would definitely be her boyfriend, he would definitely marry her. For that, he was willing to pay any price!

...

On the way to school, Pu Sangzhi walked alongside Huo Feng again.

Huo Feng chattered in her ear the whole way, his talk full of mischief and nonsense.

Pu Sangzhi didn’t engage in his topics, expending a lot of effort to give him the cold shoulder, but it seemed to be in vain.

Huo Feng still escorted her to the classroom door, urged by her to leave.

Inside Class 1, the rumors about Sangzhi and Huo Feng were spreading even more wildly.

No, it was no longer rumors; in everyone’s eyes, they were already a couple, no question about it.

Sangzhi disliked this misunderstanding, but she knew that explaining was pointless.

So, she didn’t bother to clarify.

After all, once Huo Feng failed his exams, he wouldn’t be able to pursue her anymore, and the rumors would dissolve on their own.

That evening’s self-study period, Sangzhi received a notice from the student council, asking her to join the seniors for an inspection and grading later that night.

Pu Sangzhi was a member of the Inspection Department in the student council, mainly responsible for school discipline.

On average, Sangzhi was on duty for school inspections one week per month.

And this week was her first time on duty.

During the second period of the evening self-study, Sangzhi gathered with the inspection team of upperclassmen at the student council office.

They donned the red armbands of the inspection team, took their grading books, and set out to inspect.

The first-year section had 12 classes, the second-year had 12, and the third-year had 12; they divided into three groups to carry out inspections.

Sangzhi walked with two upperclassmen boys and two girls as they inspected the first-year classes.

Out of the 12 first-year classes, 11 were quite quiet, and the inspection went smoothly.

But when the inspection team arrived at Class 7... the class rumored to be filled with more than a dozen troublemakers.

Among all 12 classes, only Class 7 was as rowdy as a den of thieves.

And the most conspicuous, the most outrageous among this band of thieves... was undoubtedly Huo Feng, the ringleader!

Sangzhi and her group hadn’t even entered the classroom when they heard Huo Feng’s voice coming from inside.

He said, "Listen up, everyone, for this month’s test, do as badly as you can! Clear out a few hundred spots from the top ranks for me! Once I win over Pu Sangzhi, I’ll treat everyone to a meal!"

Pu Sangzhi: "..."
