Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 35 - 34, Two hundred people, in!

Next week, the monthly exam results were released.

Pu Sangzhi, as always, had taken the first place in the whole grade, and even widened the gap with the second place by more than 20 points, scoring high above the rest!

Of course, Pu Sangzhi’s good results were beyond doubt, and nothing to be surprised about.

By contrast, Huo Feng’s results were what made everyone’s eyes pop!

In Class 7, an average parallel class... Huo Feng ranked within the top 10 of the whole class! 168th in the entire grade!

The moment the results were announced, Class 7 exploded!

The homeroom teacher of Class 7, Zheng Qiu, had an expression of disbelief on her face, her gold-rimmed glasses unable to hide the shock and disdain in her pupils!

However, no one in Class 7, neither students nor teachers, exposed Huo Feng.

And Huo Feng accepted this plagiarized high ranking and results as a matter of course.

He wouldn’t feel guilty, nor insecure, as the results brought him nothing but joy—the joy of an imminent date with his girlfriend!

Having received his results in the morning, by lunchtime, Huo Feng was swaggering into the cafeteria to find Pu Sangzhi.

Longxiang Cafeteria offered a pretty decent selection of dishes, but as a private school, the prices were relatively high.

With his spirits high today, Huo Feng ordered more than ten dishes in one go, and with two trays in hand, he walked proudly over to Pu Sangzhi’s table.

"Hey, move over, make some space."

Originally a four-seater table where Pu Sangzhi, Wen Miao, and Zhu Dandan were sitting, it suddenly turned into a table for five with Huo Feng’s arrival.

His two trays of food took up space for two people.

Huo Feng seamlessly took the spot next to Wen Miao, which also happened to be directly across from Pu Sangzhi.

"Sangzhi, you’re just having two dishes..."

Huo Feng hurriedly placed dishes from his own tray into Pu Sangzhi’s tray, "Come on, let’s eat together; you’re already thin and you’re eating so little. What if you get even skinnier?"

Pu Sangzhi looked speechless as she watched him distribute all the dishes from one tray to hers, then stacked the empty tray beneath the other and took his seat.

A big guy like that just inserting himself at a table with three girls...

Huo Feng had a strong presence; the moment he showed up, all eyes from the surrounding tables were on him.

His tablemates Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan kept sneaking glances at Huo Feng with little looks.

Because of Huo Feng’s presence, their otherwise coarse way of eating became much more restrained and graceful, picking at their food daintily...

The influence of Huo Feng... was evident!

"Sangzhi, eat more meat."

Huo Feng picked out the chicken from the cold chicken salad and placed it on Pu Sangzhi’s rice bowl, careful to assuage any concerns by saying, "I haven’t touched it with these chopsticks, it’s clean."

Pu Sangzhi sighed lightly, feeling quite helpless against him.

"My ten sons went out to eat Sichuan food today, I was supposed to join them, but I thought of you here and decisively ditched them. See, how important you are."

While speaking, Huo Feng picked out the coriander from the cold chicken salad because he knew Pu Sangzhi hated coriander.

Pu Sangzhi picked at her rice and said, "What did you want to see me for?"

"Hey!"

Huo Feng’s eyes lit up with a mix of delight and defiance, "The monthly exam results came out today, guess what rank I got?"

Yes...

The monthly exam results came out today, and Pu Sangzhi knew it.

She had thought that once the results were out, Huo Feng shouldn’t have sought her out...

But seeing his joyous face and relaxed tone, Pu Sangzhi’s mood darkened.

She sighed lightly, "Go ahead."

Huo Feng arched an eyebrow at her, "Take a guess."

Pu Sangzhi: "Boring."

Huo Feng snapped his fingers in front of her, "There’s a prize for guessing right."

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly, "Speak or don’t speak."

As if oblivious to the dejection on her face, Huo Feng continued with unabated excitement, saying, "Your man here... this time ranked 168th!"

Pu Sangzhi’s poised chopsticks stopped in place, and her expression congealed in an instant; disbelief shone through her slightly dilated pupils.

Despite having prepared herself mentally, guessing that he might have had a stroke of luck on the day of the exam and made it into the top two hundred,

she had never imagined that he could actually score the 168th rank?!

In the entire section, 168th rank... The score was in the upper-middle range, even considered upper range.

He only revised for two weeks, how could he possibly improve by so many ranks?

Pu Sangzhi didn’t believe it!

"Where’s the evidence?" she asked.

"Evidence... Hey, do you want to check the score sheet in our class? Teacher Zheng seems to have left a copy in the podium’s drawer."

Huo Feng smiled, "Let’s go take a look after we finish eating."

Seeing him so earnest, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but believe that he really was ranked 168th.

But!

She still didn’t believe that this rank was achieved through his own efforts.

"Did you cheat?" Pu Sangzhi asked.

This question immediately rendered Huo Feng speechless, and the proud smile on his face awkwardly froze...

Because of his guilt, Huo Feng deliberately avoided the topic and served her a piece of braised pork, "Let’s eat first, eat."

"Is this something you regularly do, or did you do it on purpose just for the top two hundred?"

However, Pu Sangzhi was unwilling to let the topic go, and at this moment, she put down her chopsticks, her tone colder.

She had always disliked interacting with bad students because she knew their usual conduct and mannerism...

Dislike for studying, being irresponsible, fond of play, lazy, procrastinating... These character habits revealed their attitude towards life.

But these were only signs of a negative attitude.

Cheating, on the other hand, rose to a deceitful, fraudulent, opportunistic petty behavior!

Pu Sangzhi could tolerate underachievers drifting aimlessly, but she could not accept such opportunistic behavior from them.

Especially Huo Feng...

If he cheated normally, Pu Sangzhi would not bother with him.

But this time, knowing that there was a bet between the two of them, even out of respect for the wager, he had to take it seriously and not cheat his way through! freeweɓnøvel.com

Anger began to smolder in Pu Sangzhi’s heart, and her complexion grew increasingly unsightly...

"Let’s, let’s just eat first," he said.

Huo Feng was not only feeling guilty at this moment but also nervous.

He maintained a smile more painful than crying on his face and cautiously said, "Shall we talk about other things after we finish eating?"

"Eat what? How can you still eat after doing something like this?"

Pu Sangzhi did not reach for her chopsticks again but stared intensely at Huo Feng, with anger, disdain, annoyance, and mockery reflected in her dark eyes...

The atmosphere at the dinner table grew gradually tense.

The fake smile on Huo Feng’s face slowly faded, and his cooling countenance emanated a dangerous aura, his tightly furrowed brows seeming as sharp as blades, ready to hurt someone at any second.

After all, he was a bad student, with an innate sense of danger about him.

The moment he quieted down, his tablemates Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao didn’t dare to move their chopsticks either. The two exchanged cautious glances, carefully observing Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi.

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi had been ready to confront him with her anger, to blame him, and even considering dropping a harsh word.

Yet because Huo Feng had also shown his temper... Pu Sangzhi suddenly felt intimidated, scared.

It was only then that she realized, indeed, she had always been afraid of Huo Feng.

It was just because Huo Feng usually teased her nonchalantly, ingratiatingly and amicably, that over time, she had grown bolder, no longer afraid of Huo Feng.

But now, she had provoked Huo Feng’s temper. She didn’t know how to face him anymore...

So after two long minutes of silence, Pu Sangzhi stood up.

"Where are you going?" Huo Feng asked sharply.

Pu Sangzhi took a breath, clenched her hands into fists, and ultimately, without speaking, turned and ran away...
