Halfway through dinner, Huo Feng went to collect his trophy.
His half-eaten al remained on the table, and Pu Sangzhi faced the two portions of food alone, eating slowly.
While she was feeling uninterested, suddenly, soone sat down in front of her...
A shadow was cast over her, drawing her attention.
Looking up, Pu Sangzhi saw Wu Di sitting in the spot originally occupied by Huo Feng.
Surprised, Pu Sangzhi reminded him, "Um, that’s Huo Feng’s plate. He went to collect a trophy in the middle of his al, so please don’t touch it..."
"Oh oh~"
Wu Di glanced at the bowl in front of him and, belatedly realizing, chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’m not here to eat Huo Feng’s al. I just thought that seeing Pu here, Huo Feng should be here as well."
"Hmm..."
Pu Sangzhi nodded and explained once more, "Huo Feng went to collect his trophy. n’s 400 ters, he ca first. The advisor called him asking him to head over imdiately."
"Hey, I saw it! I just knew he could co first! His legs were almost flying at that mont~" Wu Di said with a flaunting smile.
Actually, Pu Sangzhi vaguely felt the purpose behind him sitting in front of her.
Thus, Pu Sangzhi didn’t hold back and directly asked, "So, are you waiting here for Huo Feng, or do you have sothing you want to say to ?"
Pu Sangzhi is also a smart person, perceptive.
Upon hearing her direct question, Wu Di smiled again, "Pu classmate, talking to you is pretty much the sa. It’s just, I want to discuss the Musical Club’s matters with Huo Feng. The new sester has begun, and the club mbers really miss him."
When he said this, an inner voice in Pu Sangzhi subtly refuted: It’s You Xinran who misses Huo Feng, right!
The mont this thought appeared, Pu Sangzhi realized she was feeling jealous.
She quickly cleared her thoughts, refusing to be jealous of soone like You Xinran, who posed no threat!
Opposite her, Wu Di was unaware of the psychological process Pu Sangzhi went through and continued speaking to himself, "I just want to talk to Huo Feng. I’m not saying he should return to the club, just hoping he doesn’t sever ties with our Musical Club. After all, as his girlfriend, you can tell that Huo Feng likes musical theater."
"Yeah."
Pu Sangzhi nodded at this, and then slowly continued eating.
She didn’t directly respond to Wu Di, nor did she know what to say to him.
Concerning what Wu Di ntioned, Pu Sangzhi felt she couldn’t make the decision, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to make decisions on Huo Feng’s behalf; it was better for Huo Feng to handle it himself.
"Pu classmate, I plan to invite Huo Feng to join our Musical Club’s spring outing event. After all, Huo Feng used to be part of our club, even a pillar of the club, and all the mbers hope he can co back and participate."
After a lengthy preamble, Wu Di finally got to his point, "But, you know Huo Feng’s temperant, I’m really unsure if he’ll accept my invitation. As his girlfriend, could you persuade him a bit?"
So this is Wu Di’s real reason for approaching Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi understood now.
"Hmm..."
Pu Sangzhi picked up a mushroom with her chopsticks and ate it slowly.
During the ti she ticulously chewed, she considered how to reject Wu Di?
A mont later, she nodded and opened her lips, "I understand what you an. However, shouldn’t you discuss this directly with Huo Feng first? The decision should ultimately be Huo Feng’s."
"Yes! I originally wanted to talk directly with Huo Feng!"
Wu Di clapped his hands, a bit excitedly continuing, "Since I happened to encounter you first, I thought it’s good to discuss with you as well. I haven’t had my al yet, and knowing Huo Feng listens to you, your words have more weight than mine! Truly! That’s why I’ve co to ask for your help..."
Pu Sangzhi put down her chopsticks; after Wu Di’s words, she lost her appetite.
But mainly because when Wu Di got excited earlier, he accidentally sprayed so saliva onto the food...
So at this mont, Pu Sangzhi’s mood for dining was completely spoiled!
She definitely planned to complain to Huo Feng about this later.
But for now...
"Wu Di classmate, regarding what you ask of , I believe you’ve approached the wrong person."
Pu Sangzhi calmly nodded, speaking with a gentle tone as she explained, "Huo Feng doesn’t necessarily listen to . He makes his own decisions regarding anything. If you believe he listens to , I can only tell you it’s a misconception. I simply support whatever decision he makes, and I generally don’t oppose his life choices."
"Uh..."
Listening to Pu Sangzhi’s words, Wu Di sensed sothing was amiss.
"Also, concerning the Musical Club matters, regardless of last sester or now, it’s up to him to decide. Whether he quits the club, or participates in activities, I won’t interfere."
Pu Sangzhi calmly stated, "Our way of interacting is like this; he informs of his decisions and reasons, and as long as he has reasons, regardless of right or wrong, I support him. Even if he makes the wrong decision, I still support him. So, do you understand?"
"Haha..."
Wu Di awkwardly chuckled, caught off guard by Pu Sangzhi’s response, not knowing what to say for a mont!
"But all the club mbers know Huo Feng pays attention to your opinions."
Wu Di said stubbornly, "Pu classmate, could you perhaps hint at so constructive advice, maybe just find a way to get him to participate a bit in the club activities. He might listen a little?"
Pu Sangzhi felt her intention to refuse was already quite clear.
Was Wu Di self-deluded, or lacking self-awareness to not discern her refusal?
"Wu Di, let make my intention clear."
Pu Sangzhi steadily looked at Wu Di, firmly saying, "Personally, I don’t want Huo Feng to have any further ties with the Musical Club. You want to persuade him, but I don’t want him involved in the club activities; how could I assist you?"
Just like that, Wu Di faced an outright rejection!
It’s a response Wu Di hadn’t anticipated from Pu Sangzhi...
Wu Di paused for half a mont before he sowhat reacted.
Then he nodded slightly, "So, why don’t you want Huo Feng to participate? This is just, normal social interaction, right... We’re all classmates, and after leaving the club, shouldn’t we just disconnect from that group?"
Wu Di, who considered friendships to be uncomplicated, might not grasp the dynamics between Pu Sangzhi and You Xinran.
He deed it wholly straightforward to extend an invitation to Huo Feng under the banner of club activities, creating a chance for reconciling with You Xinran!
Yet, Pu Sangzhi could see through his intentions; how could she not know it was arranged for You Xinran?
Furthermore, Pu Sangzhi even suspected that it might be You Xinran’s idea.
Perhaps You Xinran was behind Wu Di coming to her...
Pu Sangzhi pondered.
Of course, Pu Sangzhi’s doubts stayed unspoken.
Faced with Wu Di’s awkward bewildernt, Pu Sangzhi replied, "Huo Feng is very busy lately, he doesn’t have ti for unproductive socializing. Also, after quitting the club, he’s fully exited the musical theater scene. It might be a temporary exit, but during this period, the musical theater circle holds no value to him. He this period..."
"What do you an ’holds no value’?"
Mid-sentence, suddenly, a female voice interrupted from the side!
This voice, even after a few months apart, Pu Sangzhi could instantly recognize.
She didn’t turn her head, nor gave that person a glance...
Yet that person strode angrily towards her!
That person was You Xinran, who had been seated at a table behind them, eavesdropping on Pu Sangzhi’s and Wu Di’s conversation!
"I just knew you would interfere with Huo Feng’s freedom of choice!"
You Xinran couldn’t bear what Pu Sangzhi said, ultimately unable to sit still any longer.
Wu Di saw You Xinran suddenly standing up, and his face panicked; he stood up hurriedly, trying to soothe her, "Xinran, Xinran, don’t be upset. Pu classmate didn’t an any harm with her words."
"To her, naturally it’s not malicious! But her intentions, to Huo Feng, are malicious!"
You Xinran stood beside Pu Sangzhi, furrowing her brows and speaking to Wu Di, each word sharply criticizing Pu Sangzhi!
Her veiled criticisms were far too blatant!
Pu Sangzhi ignored You Xinran, sitting quietly, gazing forward without saying a word.
At this mont, You Xinran, unable to contain her anger, still persisted in her accusations, "You’re imposing your thoughts on Huo Feng. You know he listens to you, yet you hypocritically claim you support his choices, when in reality, you’ve brainwashed him into being a coward making choices only for you!"
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, quietly brewing a storm of anger within her chest!
