After a fierce argunt, Pu Sangzhi finally compromised and agreed to go with Huo Feng.
A four-person table is a four-person table, after all.
Anyway, they’re all adults and won’t get into a fight.
Huo Feng has matured now and understands how to control his limits; he won’t easily resort to violence anymore.
Pu Sangzhi thought about it, and actually, with everyone present, it’s good to clear things up face to face.
She didn’t want Huo Feng to clarify things with You Xinran only to have You Xinran seek her out privately for a ’heart-to-heart’ soday...
So, she later sat on the back seat of Huo Feng’s bicycle and set off with him.
Tsinghua Campus hides many tea restaurants, and Wu Di had chosen this one.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng found the hidden tea restaurant aided by navigation.
Once they arrived, Huo Feng locked the bicycle at the entrance, wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and affectionately walked inside with her.
Wu Di was already seated waiting for them.
Wu Di was worried that Pu Sangzhi might brush him off and that the two wouldn’t co.
But Wu Di decided to wait there, just to see...
Luckily, they ca.
The image of Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi standing together was still so perfect — handso man, beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.
Wu Di sat in his seat, watching them walk into the restaurant. At that mont, he truly felt his world had been amazed.
They were not only perfectly matched but also in love; Wu Di hoped they could stay steady and strong to the end...
"We’re here."
Pu Sangzhi said softly, her voice gentle, as she sat down opposite Wu Di along with Huo Feng.
"Hey, thank you for coming, really, thank you."
Wu Di nodded gratefully to them, then handed over his phone, hurriedly saying, "Co on, let’s order food first. Xinran said she wants to get her emotions sorted before she arrives. So, let’s grab a bite first."
Huo Feng didn’t take Wu Di’s phone, but instead said to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, scan that QR code to order. We’re going Dutch tonight, no eating on Wu Di’s di."
Huo Feng had seen it clearly ahead of ti; so dinners shouldn’t be owed.
He knew the principle that taking advantage of soone’s generosity puts you in a weaker position.
Wu Di hoped Huo Feng would help him pursue You Xinran, but Huo Feng wasn’t willing.
Therefore, at this critical mont, Huo Feng wouldn’t eat Wu Di’s al.
If he did, he’d beco vulnerable.
He had to have dignity!
"Hey, no, no, I promised I’d treat you."
Wu Di hurriedly stopped Pu Sangzhi and handed his phone directly to her, "Pu, you can use my phone to order. I had agreed with Huo Feng earlier; this al is on . Besides, I have to apologize for the past, please, eat on my tab."
"No need."
Pu Sangzhi firmly refused Wu Di, directly using her phone to scan the QR code, then handed it to Huo Feng to order.
Since she was in charge of the finances, Pu Sangzhi had to be prepared to spend for lavish outings.
"Let’s get a pizza, and two portions of pasta, two glasses of juice..."
Huo Feng was using Pu Sangzhi’s phone to order while discussing what to eat with her. He then responded to Wu Di, "Wu Di, you go ahead and order for yourself. I can’t treat you today; I’m eating off my wife’s money."
"No, no, it’s okay..."
Wu Di awkwardly nodded and touched his hair in embarrassnt, saying, "Actually, I should be treating you. Sorry, calling you both out here without offering a al..."
"It’s fine, don’t worry about it."
Huo Feng replied to Wu Di without lifting his head, quickly saying to Pu Sangzhi, "Honey, order a dessert. Just in case your mood dips later, so sweets can make you feel better."
Pu Sangzhi nudged Huo Feng with her elbow, signaling him not to say such things in front of Wu Di.
Wu Di felt indeed awkward hearing it, but he couldn’t say anything, just managed to laugh it off, "No worries, no worries, say whatever you want. Tonight, everyone knowing it’s awkward but still ca, already gives face."
"A night for honesty."
Huo Feng straightforwardly said, "Tonight, everyone needs to speak their true thoughts and cleanly resolve things. From now on, don’t interfere with the normal life of and my girlfriend."
"Yes, yes..."
Wu Di nodded, "I hope everyone can sort out those tangled relationships."
"No, you got it wrong."
Huo Feng pointed a finger at Wu Di, gazing sharply, "There are no tangled relationships, only soone’s one-sided desire. Tonight, I’m just severing that one-sided desire."
"Yes, yes..."
Wu Di nodded, very much agreeing with what Huo Feng said and his candid attitude, "You’re right."
Huo Feng was straightforward and carefree, Wu Di truly wanted to be friends with him.
If You Xinran could calm down, Wu Di also wanted to maintain his friendship with Huo Feng.
Because, Wu Di had always believed that Huo Feng would beco outstanding in so industry once he entered the workforce.
Being friends with soone like him could only bring benefits, not harm.
So, the three of them ordered a table full of food.
Before You Xinran arrived, the atmosphere at the table was quite nice.
Halfway through the al, the long overdue You Xinran finally ca...
Having changed her clothes and put on so light makeup, looking better, You Xinran didn’t expect Pu Sangzhi to be there too.
Originally planning to lower her posture and show weakness to Huo Feng, her face unexpectedly beca serious upon seeing Pu Sangzhi.
In front of Pu Sangzhi, You Xinran couldn’t show weakness, nor could she lower her posture.
"Xinran, sit here, sit next to ."
Wu Di warmly invited You Xinran to sit beside him, then scanned a QR code and handed it to You Xinran, "Xinran, feel free to order anything you want to eat or drink, it’s on ."
You Xinran replied coldly, "Whatever."
"Oh, alright. Then I’ll just order accordingly..."
Wu Di buried his head, falling into a frenzy of ordering...
At that ti, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng were still leisurely eating at the table, neither paying attention to the look You Xinran directed at them.
Huo Feng handed Pu Sangzhi a slice of pizza, then coldly spoke to You Xinran, "Everybody’s here, aren’t you going to apologize?"
You Xinran pursed her lips and, clenching her bag tightly under the table, managed several complex emotions to say to Pu Sangzhi, "Pu Sangzhi, I’m very sorry for saying unpleasant things to you at noon. I’m impulsive and often can’t control my emotions, which I took out on you. Also... sorry."
At this mont, You Xinran was indeed humble in her apology.
Pu Sangzhi, while biting pizza, responded indifferently, "Don’t you have a lot of complaints? Talk to Huo Feng, he’s the one here to listen to you."
You Xinran couldn’t quite figure out what Pu Sangzhi ant by this...
However, she indeed shifted her attention to Huo Feng, staring directly at him.
Looking at Huo Feng’s familiar handso face, the features she had touched countless tis through the screen, she felt a surge of mixed emotions.
"Speak."
Huo Feng frowned and replied to her, "If you have any odd notions, just say them out loud. I’ll listen and explain each one to you. Clear explanations, and then don’t bother my girlfriend and anymore. We’re both very busy, don’t have the energy for this kind of thing."
Wu Di felt Huo Feng spoke too bluntly and hurtfully, so he hurriedly explained on the side, "Xinran, what Huo Feng ans is, tonight is the night for confessions. Say whatever you want, anything you wish to say to Huo Feng, feel free tonight."
"I know."
You Xinran replied to Wu Di coldly.
But when she looked at Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi, she was also very clear in her heart that she had nothing more to say...
Their joint appearance was just to overturn her point of view, to prove she was wrong.
"I, I actually didn’t want to argue with Pu Sangzhi. What notions or whatever..."
You Xinran lowered her head and said softly, "It’s just that I got angry when I heard Pu Sangzhi say, not to let you participate in the club’s activities. After all, when the club organized the event, Wu Di and I thought of you, wanted to invite you kindly, but were directly rejected. In a mont of anger, I said those words to Pu Sangzhi..."
Not daring to argue reason, You Xinran could only speak in terms of the matter.
She prepared a set of very official rhetoric to cover up her true thoughts.
"Just because of the club’s activities?"
Huo Feng picked up a slice of pizza, his knitted brow tight, saying, "We’re all sitting here, if sothing’s on your mind just say it, don’t use excuses as a cover."
"I didn’t."
You Xinran refuted Huo Feng, "I really got angry just because Pu Sangzhi refused your participation in the club activities. The words I said during the argunt were also spoken in haste, you know, people always just say whatever cos to mind during argunts..."
"Yeah, yeah, indeed it’s like that." Wu Di chid in from the side.
"Alright then."
Huo Feng took a bite of pizza, speaking while chewing, "Since that’s the case, I’ll make my point clear to you guys. The Musical Club, I’m not going back to it, nor am I participating in any club activities. Right now, I have my own business to focus on, ti is always tight, I simply don’t have the energy for anything else."
"But, it’s just club activities. Just entertainnt..."
You Xinran said sowhat anxiously, "All the mbers hope to see you again, everyone has feelings for you."
"Thank you for their feelings."
Huo Feng said, "But I’m really busy, I don’t have the ti. Today, I’m also putting it out there, my girlfriend’s view is my view. Since you plan to bypass and go to her, then you have to accept her rejection, no reason to turn against her. Also, when you hurt her today, you were also hitting my face. After we finish this argunt today, we’re done, no more contact in the future, okay!"
"Huo Feng, don’t be like this..."
It’s rare for You Xinran to see Huo Feng speaking so calmly, yet each sentence was a refusal...
