Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 321 - 314, New Year’s goal, second in the segment! (3)

Pu Sangzhi felt quite helpless about Huo Feng.

Very helpless...

So helpless that she couldn’t find the words to criticize him...

She went to her room, saw the sorry state of her bed, and for the next half minute, Pu Sangzhi just stared at Huo Feng, stared hard...

Huo Feng always stood to one side like a child who had done something wrong, his head bowed, playing with his closely cropped hair, and said, "This bed, it’s not very durable."

"What did you do to it?" Pu Sangzhi asked.

Huo Feng replied, "I just slept on it."

Pu Sangzhi, "How did you sleep on it?"

Huo Feng, "Passionately threw myself onto it..."

Pu Sangzhi, "Who allowed you to be passionate with it?"

Huo Feng, "It allowed..."

Pu Sangzhi, "It ended up like this and it allowed?"

Huo Feng, "It probably didn’t expect my explosive power... it underestimated me..."

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and shouted at him, "You collapsed my bed and you still have so many excuses!"

Scolded by her, Huo Feng looked aggrieved and helpless, and had to take the blame, "Alright, my fault. I’ll find some tools and fix it..."

"No need."

Just as he was about to look for the toolbox, Pu Sangzhi grabbed him, "You go sleep in the guest room for now. Wait until you are feeling better before fixing the bed."

Huo Feng asked her, "Where will you sleep tonight?"

Pu Sangzhi said, "I’ll sleep in my mom’s room; she’s not coming back tonight anyway."

Huo Feng then patted his chest, "You sleep in the guest room with me! The bed there is big enough anyway!"

Pu Sangzhi shot him a sidelong glance, seeing right through his intentions, "In your dreams! Hurry up and go!"

Huo Feng turned around, his spirit finally accepting defeat as he headed to the guest room.

Pu Sangzhi stood by her ruined bed, running her hands through her hair worriedly, her face a picture of helplessness.

Then, she moved forward and picked up all her blankets and bedding.

The bedding was temporarily thrown on the floor, and she carried the bedspread to the guest room, tossing it onto the bed there.

By then, the mischief-maker Huo Feng had already obediently laid down on the guest room’s bed.

As Pu Sangzhi arrived, she threw the blanket over him, a breeze making him squint his eyes...

However, the thickness of the two blankets did bring him a lot of warmth.

"Sangzhi..." Huo Feng called her.

"Hmm," Pu Sangzhi responded.

Huo Feng asked her, "Are you angry?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head calmly, "No worries. You’ll fix it anyway."

Seeing she wasn’t angry, Huo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, I was scared I’d trouble you. I didn’t come here to make trouble for you."

His words slightly warmed Pu Sangzhi’s heart, and she said, "I know. I’ll go make some porridge and get your medicine. You just rest."

Huo Feng responded with a full sense of happiness, "Okay..."

Pu Sangzhi added, "Call your folks to tell them you’ll be staying here for the next few days. Don’t want your family to worry."

Huo Feng nodded, "Definitely."

After giving her instructions, Pu Sangzhi turned and left.

Watching her departing back, Huo Feng’s lips curved into a broad smile, his face radiating happiness.

"Oh..."

He sighed deeply and pulled out his phone.

Just as he was about to call his grandfather and mom, he tapped on the call log and suddenly noticed a strange number had called him over forty times!

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, looking at the unfamiliar number and the times of missed calls.

They started at midnight and lasted for nearly half an hour...

"Who is that?" Huo Feng wondered.

Someone calling him at midnight obviously wanted to wish him a Happy New Year!

And for a stranger to call many times, just to wish him that... it must be a suitor!

Huo Feng rubbed his closely cropped head, trying to recall any potential suitors around him.

Seemed like there were none!

Right...

Because he had pursued Pu Sangzhi very publicly this semester, knowing she was taken, hardly any girls dared chase him anymore.

No...

It seems there’s one more.

Huo Feng thought of Han Feiyi!

As soon as he thought of her, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face showed a look of disgust.

Huo Feng didn’t even think about it; he immediately blocked the unfamiliar number!

While blocking it, he also said, "Go to hell, ugly woman!"

Of course...

At that moment, he didn’t know that the owner of this unfamiliar number was actually Pu Sangzhi...

Then, Huo Feng made a call to his grandfather.

As soon as the call connected, Shen Jianhua scolded him for not being at home on New Year’s Eve nor in the morning of the first day! Hadn’t he come home all night?

Huo Feng endured Shen Jianhua’s scolding, and finally lied to Shen Jianhua that he had spent the New Year’s countdown with Pu Sangzhi and had stayed over at Pu Sangzhi’s house afterward.

Shen Jianhua asked him when he would come home? The relatives at home were still waiting to greet him...

But Huo Feng stated that he wouldn’t return, that he planned to spend the entire New Year at Pu Sangzhi’s house.

Shen Jianhua sighed and finally compromised, allowing Huo Feng to stay.

Shen Jianhua rarely controlled Huo Feng, so usually, Huo Feng was quite free around Shen Jianhua.

Huo Feng felt lucky that he had moved to Shen Jianhua’s house early.

Otherwise, Huo Mingshan certainly wouldn’t have allowed him to spend the lunar New Year at Pu Sangzhi’s house!

After finishing the call with Shen Jianhua, Huo Feng made a video call to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu hadn’t seen Huo Feng for a long time, and when the video connected, her face looked unhappy.

She chided Huo Feng, "Have you forgotten about your mom? Not coming to see your mom during the New Year? Do you really want to force me to have another one?"

Huo Feng sheepishly rubbed his round buzz-cut, "Mom, although I didn’t see you, I missed you a lot! You’ll always be the dearest mom in my heart! I’ll definitely visit you when I have time!"

Shen Yu pouted unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense. Are you not coming home for the New Year? Won’t you visit your grandfather?"

Huo Feng had actually forgotten about his rather traditional grandfather...

Actually, the most painful part of every New Year was having to wish his grandfather a happy New Year.

His grandfather’s temperament was comparable to his father’s, if not worse!

Huo Feng didn’t like his grandfather...

So, taking this opportunity, Huo Feng refused Shen Yu, "Mom, I’m not going this year. I finally found a chance to freeload at Sangzhi’s house for a couple of days. Sangzhi and her mom allowed it. I’m staying here these few days, so please don’t tell dad!"

Shen Yu then looked surprised, "Ah? You’re staying at a girl’s house? How shameless!"

Huo Feng patted his handsome face, "The face is right here."

Shen Yu looked helpless, "I don’t know what magic potion you fed them to actually allow someone like you to stay."

Huo Feng squinted, "What do you mean by that..."

Dear mom...

How can you say that...

Huo Feng felt distressed!

Shen Yu continued, "About your grandfather, you need to give me a reason to explain to him. You know how he is; one person missing from the New Year greetings, and he’ll dig to the root of it, needing all sorts of reasons. Tell me, what should I say to your grandfather?"

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, thought seriously for a moment, "Just say I got a fever. I’m too sick to see him... If he gives red envelopes, you keep them for me. If he doesn’t give..."

Shen Yu asked, "Then you don’t want them? You’re that proud? Your grandfather’s red envelopes are always four figures..."

Huo Feng smiled, "I’ll just call him and ask for them myself."

Shen Yu chuckled disbelievingly, "Really? Not showing up to wish him New Year, yet you still want his red envelopes."

Huo Feng coughed twice, "Really sick, you know, was in the ER just last night. Not faking..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu couldn’t help but get a bit anxious, "Really sick? How are you now? Feeling better? Should I visit you?"

Huo Feng refused, "No need. Sangzhi is taking care of me. I’m using these days to build more rapport with her. Just help me handle grandpa’s side. I still want that four-figure red envelope; I’m short on money..."

Seeing his unserious demeanor, Shen Yu didn’t think he was very ill, "Got it. You, once you got a woman, forgot about your family, you ungrateful wolf!"

Huo Feng laughed, "Not true; I remember you all! All of you... Mom, love you, happy New Year!"

On the video call, Shen Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "Happy New Year, then let’s leave it at that for now. If you run out of money, should I send you some?"

Huo Feng nodded, "Yes, definitely needed. By the way, you haven’t given me my New Year’s money yet, right?"

Shen Yu, "Right, I’ll send you 500 soon, consider it your New Year’s money."

Huo Feng asked again, "What about dad’s New Year’s money?"

Shen Yu, "Forget about him. Unless you come back and fight it out with him..."

Huo Feng, "No need, no need. Life is precious."

Shen Yu sighed, "Right, make sure you do well this year! Try to improve your grades! I think your dad has been a bit more lenient recently, probably because he sees your grades improving."

Huo Feng nodded, "Guaranteed, I’ll aim for second in the department!"
