Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 51 - 50. Had a car accident

"You... you’re saying those words again."

Pu Sangzhi’s eyebrows and eyes flickered, her small face showing awkward embarrassment, "What are you actually here for... Don’t keep coming to my place when it’s not necessary."

She should have said some heartless things, or vented her frustration at him.

Because he had intruded into her life once again, doing things that could easily lead to gossip.

Yet, seeing him show up at her door in such a disheveled state, with a layer of dampness on his body, his short hair moist, and his legs numb from squatting just moments before...

All of this made it difficult for Pu Sangzhi to be harsh with him. Especially the phrase ’I missed you,’ which caused her to feel embarrassed.

In short, at this moment, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t bring herself to say anything cruel.

"I, I really did miss you."

Huo Feng said softly, taking a step forward, "Are you still angry with me?"

"Hey..."

Pu Sangzhi pinched her nose, took a step back, and frowned, "You reek of tobacco and alcohol..."

Huo Feng’s face froze in embarrassment and he stopped in his tracks, "I wasn’t feeling very good last night, so I smoked a little and had a few drinks... Why didn’t you come?"

He asked Pu Sangzhi why she didn’t come...

It was a question that shouldn’t have been asked, but his voice lowered with a hint of grievance, which unexpectedly made Pu Sangzhi feel somewhat guilty.

But this feeling of guilt lasted only a few seconds before being swiftly extinguished by her rationality.

Pu Sangzhi straightened her posture and contradicted him, "It was too late; I wasn’t going to go."

Huo Feng’s eyes sparkled slightly, "Are you saying that if it wasn’t late, you would have gone?"

Pu Sangzhi immediately added, "No, I won’t go, not interested."

As she finished speaking, the light that had glimmered in Huo Feng’s eyes instantly dimmed, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of disappointment...

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi didn’t dare to look at him again.

He was toxic today... Looking pitiful with emotional eyes! It made her feel odd inside, as if she had mistreated him!

Was he switching his tactics? Playing the sympathy card?

No, no... She couldn’t engage with him!

Pu Sangzhi quickly steadied her mind, reminding herself not to be deceived by Huo Feng.

"I’m off for a morning run, you should head back. And don’t come to my place anymore..."

Pu Sangzhi closed the door behind her and, brushing past Huo Feng, broke into a light jog.

Seeing that she neither forgave him nor greeted him with a warm kiss, and that she didn’t even have a kind word to say...

Huo Feng thought to himself: Damn, He Shuhuan’s tactics are useless! They aren’t suitable for him at all!

He quickly shook off his aggrieved state and started chasing after her...

But instantly, he reverted to his usual shameless demeanor.

"Sangzhi, you still go for morning runs, huh?"

Huo Feng followed at a jog, looking at her profile and said, "Do you run every day? How long do you typically run? I’ll join you in the future, okay?"

Pu Sangzhi outright refused, "No, don’t come looking for me anymore."

As if he hadn’t heard her refusal, Huo Feng continued selfishly, "Sangzhi, can you stop saying these heartless things? Do you know you’re almost as harsh as Consort Yu in my heart?"

Pu Sangzhi glared at him sideways.

Huo Feng raised a finger, pointing at her, "See, that expression! So fierce and harsh, just like being pricked with a needle. Do you really have to be like this to Huo Ziwei?"

"Huo Ziwei...?"

Pu Sangzhi really wanted to punch him in the face, to break through his shameless facade.

His face, really? A nearly six-foot-tall man comparing himself to a fragile princess? Would Lin Xinru cry when she heard this?!

"Do you know how pitiful I am?"

Huo Feng continued to pout in feigned distress, "I spent over 800 yuan last night on drinks, singing, and internet cafes, all just to ask you out! I clung to that bit of hope, and yet you ruthlessly shattered it!" freёnovelkiss.com

In her heart, Pu Sangzhi scoffed. He dared to hold out hope? It was clear that she wouldn’t go!

"Sangzhi, when can you let go of the monthly exam incident? Can we get back to how we were before?"

Huo Feng spoke with heartfelt pain, "I admit my mistake; I’ll never cheat again. Even if you don’t like me, can you at least not hate me so much?"

Pu Sangzhi jogged on, her sighs melting into the sound of her rapid breaths.

She didn’t know how to respond to Huo Feng.

She didn’t know whether Huo Feng was deliberately misconstruing things or genuinely unaware of her reasons for hating him.

She hated him, not because he cheated... but entirely because of his shamelessness, persistence, presumption of affection, and relentless pestering!

"Sangzhi, at least say something."

Huo Feng had followed her for quite a distance, and Pu Sangzhi hardly responded to him.

Her cold attitude chilled his heart...

Huo Feng hadn’t slept for a whole day and night, his stomach was empty, and he wasn’t in the best condition, so his steps were a little unsteady.

Soon, he began to pant and broke out in a cold sweat...

"Sangzhi, how long do you plan on running? I can’t keep up anymore..."

"If you can’t keep up, then don’t follow."

After Pu Sangzhi spoke, she quickened her pace, running even faster.

Huo Feng was so tired that he couldn’t catch up with her; he had no choice but to stop and take large gasps of air.

"Hey! You’re really not waiting for me, huh... Old Madam Yu!"

Watching Pu Sangzhi’s retreating figure speed away into the distance, Huo Feng called out helplessly, his face a picture of frustration.

At that moment, taking advantage of Huo Feng’s lack of energy to pursue her, Pu Sangzhi sprinted several hundred meters with one breath, turned a corner, and completely shook Huo Feng off.

After running for a while and looking back, she couldn’t see Huo Feng anywhere in the distance; Pu Sangzhi smirked with pride.

Serves him right!

She cursed in her heart.

Afterward, Pu Sangzhi continued jogging steadily, practicing for the 1500 meters race of the sports meet.

She jogged all the way, planning to run to the nearby Jinhe Park and make another lap around the park’s outer circle path...

In the early morning, the park was filled with elderly people walking at a leisurely pace.

The park wasn’t large, not the kind of strictly managed public area, but rather a place nestled within a residential area, simple in facilities, fresh in greenery, surrounded by all kinds of food establishments emitting an air of day-to-day life.

Pu Sangzhi had a daily routine of morning runs.

Whenever she was home, she would come to Jinhe Park early in the morning to run two laps, then pick up breakfast from a nearby shop to take home.

This had been her iron-clad routine since moving here.

Pu Sangzhi liked her current tranquil life, enjoying these days semi-secluded in the midst of everyday humanity.

Preferably, nobody should disturb her one-meter world, nobody should interrupt her life.

She jogged along the outer path of the park, where the green shade from rows of trees provided shelter from the sun, and under the dappled sunlight, the world seemed fresh and pleasant.

While running, she leisurely enjoyed watching the busy world before her, thinking to herself: That annoying Huo Feng, that stinky fly, had indeed not followed her. Without Huo Feng, everything seemed so beautiful!

However... not even a minute passed when a familiar voice reached her ears: "Sangzhi, are you tired?"

Pu Sangzhi immediately furrowed her brows and clenched her fists as she swung her arms.

This person is really... like a persistent ghost!

At that moment, Huo Feng was riding a shared bicycle, holding a bag of steamed buns, nonchalantly approaching Pu Sangzhi.

"Sangzhi, this park is really lively, with little shops everywhere. Look, I bought you breakfast. You can eat it when you’re tired from running~"

Huo Feng persisted, flashing her his brilliant smile.

Pu Sangzhi could no longer bear it, turned around, and pushed him away...

"Hey, hey..."

Huo Feng almost fell over from her push, but fortunately, he had long legs, so he quickly planted one foot on the ground to stabilize the bicycle.

"Stop following me! Go back!" Pu Sangzhi raised her voice.

"I just want to..."

Pu Sangzhi interrupted Huo Feng, speaking seriously and earnestly, "I just want to run in peace, I need to think, please don’t follow me anymore, okay?"

Huo Feng meekly uttered an "oh."

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him sharply before turning around and jogging away.

Watching her leave once again, Huo Feng touched his chest feeling stifled; it really hurt.

His self-esteem and pride had been trampled into dirt by her.

He looked down at the bag of steamed buns in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he still decided to chase after her by bike...

Pu Sangzhi was running fast ahead, with Huo Feng pedaling after her.

Leading and following at a relaxed pace, under the cover of the row of trees, their youthful silhouettes stood out.

Huo Feng was about to catch up with Pu Sangzhi...

"Sangzhi, I won’t bother you, just take the steamed buns!"

He called from behind her, and Pu Sangzhi heard him.

But she didn’t stop, instead she gritted her teeth and sped up...

"Sangzhi!"

Huo Feng hurriedly accelerated, pedaling faster...

Bursting out of the path, they reached a crossroads when suddenly, a private car came speeding directly towards Huo Feng from the road on his right!

With a "bang," the car hit Huo Feng’s bicycle!

In the next instant, Huo Feng was thrown several meters away, along with the bicycle, and crash-landed heavily on the side of the road!

The sound was so shocking that it finally made Pu Sangzhi turn her head back...

By that time, the surrounding crowd had already gathered, blocking Pu Sangzhi’s view.

She stood still, her gaze fixated on that chaotic and noisy spot... and gradually, fear crept into her heart.
