Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 316 - 309, Sorry, Huo Feng! (7)

Pu Sangzhi had received two explosive pieces of news during this phone call!

One, Huo Feng had been in a car accident...

Two, the voice was her father’s, and he had directly called out her name.

Pu Sangzhi was immediately panicked, her hands trembling slightly, her mind frantically spinning.

On the other hand, her father was very calm on the phone, telling her, "This young man is your classmate, right? He’s had a car accident, and I’ve taken him to the hospital. He doesn’t have any external injuries, just that he seems to have a fever."

"Dad... Dad, he..."

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, quickly calming herself down before saying, "Where is he? Where are you now? Dad, can I come to find you? Right now?"

On the other end of the line, her father, hearing her anxiousness, quickly spoke to soothe her, "Don’t worry for now. Your classmate is just running a fever, sleeping in the observation room. We are at Tangxia People’s Hospital. If it’s convenient for you, you can take a taxi here. Your classmate... he keeps calling your name."

"Okay... I’ll be right there... Dad, take good care of him, I’ll be there soon."

Pu Sangzhi was completely overwhelmed at that moment, her instinctive reaction making her panic and rush.

She hung up the phone and ran outside...

Ye Qingcao, not understanding the situation, followed her, calling out, "Sangzhi, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Pu Sangzhi also knew it was the middle of the night, and she knew it wasn’t convenient to hail a taxi.

So, she immediately ran to knock on Ye Xi’s door, anxiously saying to Brother Ye Xi, "Brother Ye Xi, Huo Feng has been in a car accident. Can you drive me to Tangxia People’s Hospital right away?"

At that time, Ye Xi had already changed into his pajamas.

However, seeing the urgency of the situation, he immediately agreed, grabbing his car keys and saying, "Let’s go!"

Soon, Ye Xi and Pu Sangzhi rushed out of the house, with Ye Qingcao frantically following behind them.

They reached the underground garage, and quickly, the car drove out of the neighborhood.

Sitting in the car, Pu Sangzhi’s heart was still terribly unsettled.

She exhaled deeply, then inhaled deeply, her small hand clutching her phone tightly, her nervousness indescribable.

Because Pu Sangzhi looked pale, the atmosphere in the car also turned tense, Ye Xi and Ye Qingcao both refrained from speaking, afraid to upset Pu Sangzhi further.

In fact, Pu Sangzhi felt more fear than sadness.

She didn’t know what had happened exactly? Didn’t know how Huo Feng could have been in a crash...

She remembered that Huo Feng had been playing wildly outside today.

He had always been like that before...

Before, as long as Pu Sangzhi gave him some time off, he would play wildly with his friends. There had never been an accident...

She didn’t know what had happened today, how could he suddenly have had an accident?

Pu Sangzhi was extremely scared, and at the same time, emotions of nervousness and self-blame occupied much of her heart.

She even shakily asked herself: Could the accident have happened because of you?

This question, her heart avoided answering.

Because only the facts could answer this question.

On the road, Pu Sangzhi called her father again to ask about Huo Feng’s condition.

Her father told her that Huo Feng was still sleeping, the quality of his sleep not so good, because he kept intermittently calling Pu Sangzhi’s name.

Besides that, there seemed to be no other issues with Huo Feng.

It being the dead of winter, he was dressed in thick clothes, so he really didn’t have any external injuries.

The reason he was lying in the observation room was purely because he had a fever and wanted to sleep.

All the way, with a heart full of anxious thoughts, the car reached Tangxia Town People’s Hospital.

The car stopped in front of the hospital entrance, and Pu Sangzhi immediately opened the car door, running out like crazy and heading straight for the emergency room.

In the emergency room, she first saw her father.

She couldn’t say how long it had been since she last saw her father...

During the days her father was away, Pu Sangzhi really missed him.

However, seeing her father in such circumstances, Pu Sangzhi already had no time to focus on her father.

Because her heart, her spirit, was all focused on Huo Feng.

"Dad... where is he?"

That was the first question she asked upon seeing her father.

Then, there wasn’t a second question...

Because after her father pointed her in the direction, Pu Sangzhi directly ran into the hospital room, straight toward Huo Feng’s bed.

Only when she arrived at Huo Feng’s bedside and saw him quietly lying on the bed sleeping did Pu Sangzhi finally exhale deeply...

The heart that had been suspended in her throat now slowly descended.

But Pu Sangzhi did not relax, she leaned over and touched Huo Feng’s forehead with the back of her hand.

It was hot.

Pu Sangzhi’s brows furrowed tightly, her small face filled with sadness.

"Sangzhi..."

Suddenly, the sleeping Huo Feng called her name.

Those few words were so clear, so stirring...

Pu Sangzhi’s heart was involuntarily touched, slightly aching.

She sighed, gently caressing Huo Feng’s forehead with her small hand, her eyes filled with pity and self-reproach, "Were you waiting at the door for me again? Didn’t I tell you not to wait..."

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi suddenly remembered, from a long time ago, that night when she opened the kitchen window and saw Huo Feng leaning against her front door, smoking as he waited for her.

He was always like that...

He had been like that from the beginning...

He had grown accustomed to waiting like that and wouldn’t listen to her...

Now that something had really happened, it saddened her again.

Pu Sangzhi slowly sat down beside his bed, leaned over close to his face, and called his name, "Huo Feng."

But she couldn’t wake him.

It was evident that he was truly exhausted and feverish.

Pu Sangzhi decided not to disturb his sleep, just quietly sat beside his bed, quietly keeping him company.

"Sangzhi..."

Suddenly, in his sleep, he called her name again.

Seeing him rest so uneasily, Pu Sangzhi lifted the blanket and quietly slipped her hand inside to hold Huo Feng’s hand.

His palm was broad and large, a hand that felt very secure.

"Huo Feng..."

Pu Sangzhi stared blankly at him, her glossy pupils shimmering with a hint of moisture.

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "I’m sorry..."

I’m sorry...

Today she had neglected him.

In fact, she had underestimated Huo Feng’s devotion to her.

She thought that by leaving him a note saying ’don’t wait,’ he wouldn’t wait.

She also thought that since he had spent the day having so much fun with his brothers, he wouldn’t come looking for her.

If it hadn’t been for this incident, she wouldn’t have realized how persistent he could be.

She, Pu Sangzhi, had underestimated Huo Feng’s feelings...

So...

"I’m sorry, Huo Feng..."

Pu Sangzhi quietly apologized, her voice slightly choked, tinged with a hint of tears.

...

Pu Sangzhi’s father watched her from the entrance of the observation ward for a while, and Brother Ye Xi and Ye Qingcao also hurried over.

Her father’s first reaction upon seeing the siblings from Ye Family was to hide.

He quickly found a corner where the siblings could not find him and hid his disheveled appearance.

As for why he needed to hide from them, he himself couldn’t quite understand.

He simply didn’t want the child to see him, once so prominent, now fallen into such a state.

Brother Ye Xi and Ye Qingcao entered the observation ward and saw Huo Feng sleeping on the bed, so they dared not speak loudly.

Ye Qingcao leaned over to Pu Sangzhi’s ear and whispered breathily, "Sangzhi, is Brother Feng okay?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded at her and whispered back, "He’s okay for now."

Ye Xi also asked, "Has the medical fee been paid? If not, I’ll go pay it now."

Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "It’s been paid."

Ye Xi then fell silent.

The siblings stood by the bed for a while, not moving.

Pu Sangzhi turned to them and said, "I’m not going back today, I’ll stay here with him. You guys go back first."

Ye Qingcao said, "You’re here by yourself?"

Pu Sangzhi answered, "My dad is here too. You guys go back first..."

Ye Qingcao then said, "Uncle is here too? But I didn’t see him just now..."

Pu Sangzhi turned her head towards the entrance of the ward and replied, "Maybe he went to the restroom. It’s fine, you guys go ahead."

Pu Sangzhi had already told the siblings several times to go back.

Seeing how adamant Pu Sangzhi was, Brother Ye Xi and Ye Qingcao didn’t want to cause any trouble for Huo Feng or Pu Sangzhi.

Each left a word of care and then turned to leave the ward.

After they had left, Pu Sangzhi’s father came out from his hiding spot.

Then, her father slowly walked into the ward and approached Pu Sangzhi.

The man’s hand gently rested on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, his voice softly comforting, "It’s okay, don’t worry too much. Look how soundly he is sleeping..."

Only then did Pu Sangzhi turn her head, her glossy eyes fixed on her father.

She saw that in the time they hadn’t met, her father had aged quite a bit, his beard covering his chin.

"Dad..."

Pu Sangzhi said, "Thank you for saving him."

Pu Sangzhi’s father, Pu Wenhua, nodded and said, "I know him. Actually, he met with the car accident after he saw me... he was investigating me."
