Perhaps it was because too much had happened tonight, Lin Qianqian and Huo Feng were both not really in the mood for studying.
They kept getting distracted, their minds elsewhere.
After half an hour of howork ti, they hadn’t made any real progress.
anwhile, the highly disciplined Pu Sangzhi had already finished howork for two subjects...
Pu Sangzhi checked their howork and, seeing the pitiful state of each, she sighed, "Alright, let’s not review tonight, just wash up and go to bed early."
As soon as she dropped that sentence, the previously wilted Lin Qianqian, like a deflated balloon, suddenly perked up, flashing a bright and refreshing smile!
Lin Qianqian excitedly started packing up her things while Hou Feng joyfully picked up his phone, "Smart move, Friday nights should be about relaxing! I’ll get us so midnight snacks!"
Lin Qianqian happily nodded, "Yes, yes, let’s do that!"
Pu Sangzhi sternly refused, "I’m not eating, don’t waste money."
After being refused by Pu Sangzhi, Lin Qianqian pouted, showing a deeply wronged expression.
Huo Feng then pointed at Lin Qianqian, seizing the opportunity to chi in, "Hey hey, the poor boy Qianqian got bullied today, can you please take care of her feelings?"
Pu Sangzhi, seeing they were both of the sa mind, just let them be, "Do whatever you want, I’m going to take a bath now, I’ll be sleeping by ten."
Huo Feng frowned, "You’ve got to be kidding, it’s already nine. At least stay up to eat the snacks before sleeping..."
Pu Sangzhi refused again, "I don’t eat after eight in the evening, it makes gain weight!"
Huo Feng: "But you’re not even fat!"
Pu Sangzhi: "That’s because I’m disciplined, so I don’t get fat!"
After their argunt, Lin Qianqian looked down and pinched a clump of flesh on her belly, and suddenly felt a wave of sadness.
However, even so, Lin Qianqian still cheerfully asked, "Brother Feng, do you want barbecue?"
Huo Feng nodded, "Sure! Let’s order lamb skewers, beef skewers, streaky pork, kidney skewers, enoki mushrooms, and crucian carp. Let’s tantalize soone!"
’Soone’ referred to Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi, pretending not to understand the hidden aning in Huo Feng’s words, collected her howork and stood up to leave.
Her solitary figure departing was lofty and aloof, perfectly suited to her devilishly disciplined approach to life.
After Pu Sangzhi left the room, Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian indeed heatedly started ordering the barbecue for delivery.
After finishing the order, Huo Feng rembered he hadn’t called his parents yet. He quickly sent a WeChat voice ssage to Shen Yu, telling him he was staying at Pu Sangzhi’s house for the night.
Huo Feng didn’t just inform about that, he also took his phone for a spin around Pu Sangzhi’s room, recording a short video, capturing the general style of the room and every little detail of the desktop arrangents.
It was also Lin Qianqian’s first ti in Pu Sangzhi’s room, but unlike Huo Feng’s curiosity, she received no surprises.
She only glanced around the entire room once, briefly scanning the decor and furniture setups, while Huo Feng was interested in the room.
In fact, the furnishings in Pu Sangzhi’s ho were all very old.
It didn’t seem like it was styled by her parents; rather, it seed casually set up by an even older generation.
There were no televisions or computers in Pu Sangzhi’s ho, nor anything for entertainnt.
This family situation allowed Lin Qianqian to understand sowhat why Pu Sangzhi could never be distracted from studying.
Because there’s nothing fun at her ho...
"Brother Feng, it seems like Sister Sangzhi’s family isn’t that wealthy..." Lin Qianqian concluded after her observations.
While texting back on WeChat, Huo Feng casually replied, "That’s not important, it’s good that she’s excellent."
Lin Qianqian nodded upon hearing this, "Mm... I heard from my mom before about Sister Sangzhi’s family situation. It seems like they owe a huge debt, and only her mom earns a little bit to pay it off. It seems very tough."
Huo Feng responded, "Yeah, it’s definitely tough. That’s why I need to really take care of her."
Lin Qianqian rested her chin on her hands, her eyes filled with envy as she gazed at Huo Feng, "Brother Feng, I think you’re really great. A lot of people around want to date you..."
Huo Feng: "Heh, I’d date myself too."
Lin Qianqian smiled and then asked, "Brother Feng, why did you fall for Sister Sangzhi, and why are you chasing her so intensely?"
This question made Huo Feng put down his phone and think seriously for a few seconds.
A few seconds later, he gave Lin Qianqian a very smug look, "Because she is Pu Sangzhi. First in the city, a great beauty, excellent in character and learning, with goals, and her EQ and IQ are off the charts. Even my parents like her. Only such an outstanding woman can match , Huo Feng."
The Pu Sangzhi that Huo Feng described seed flawless and her rits clearly stood out.
Upon hearing his criteria for choosing a partner, Lin Qianqian couldn’t help but sigh...
Now Lin Qianqian knew why Huo Feng was so fixated on Sangzhi?
Turns out he was looking for an outstanding woman...
The term ’outstanding’ is not sothing just anyone can live up to.
Lin Qianqian had to admit that Pu Sangzhi truly was outstanding! Truly beautiful! Indeed, there weren’t many girls her age who could compare...
...
Around ten, the barbecue takeout arrived and Pu Sangzhi, having finished bathing and washing her clothes, returned to her room.
When she pushed open the door of her room, she imdiately slled the rich aroma of cumin and at, causing Pu Sangzhi to frown.
Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian had already placed the barbecue on the desk. As they unwrapped chopsticks and condints, they smiled and waved at Pu Sangzhi.
Lin Qianqian said, "Sister Sangzhi, co and eat the barbecue!"
Pu Sangzhi instinctively refused, "I’m not eating, I need to sleep."
At that mont, Huo Feng added, "The whole room is filled with the sll, how can you sleep? Co sit down and eat a bit, there’s so much for three people!"
Pu Sangzhi glanced at the full table of barbecue and felt a bit tempted, because it had been a very long ti since she had last eaten such food...
Pu Sangzhi rembered the last ti she had barbecue. It was several years ago in Shanghai when her dad took her and her mom to stay up late to watch the World Cup and they had ordered takeout...
Back then, the three of them were joyfully together, a simple al of barbecue seed like a delicacy from heaven, a mory she deeply cherished.
"Co sit, Sangzhi. I specially ordered Want Want milk for you, drinking so milk at night will help you sleep."
Huo Feng opened a bottle of Want Want milk for her, placing it beside her, just waiting for her to co over.
"Wow, it slls so good... Sister Sangzhi, co sit down and let’s eat together. Brother Feng said we won’t start eating until you join us," Lin Qianqian also urged her eagerly.
With their heartfelt invitation, Pu Sangzhi finally had a way to step down without completely losing face.
So she walked over to them and sat down next to Huo Feng.
When she sat down, Pu Sangzhi specifically said, "I’ll just eat a little, you shouldn’t eat too much at night."
As she said this, she probably didn’t realize that a few minutes later, she would be the one eating the most fiercely.
In her lifeti, the most instances where Pu Sangzhi had "eaten her words" had all happened with Huo Feng. Yet, she was completely unaware of this now...
Soon, the three of them started eating the barbecue passionately.
While eating, Huo Feng said, "I just delivered so stir-fried rice cakes and grilled at to Auntie, she was so happy."
Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi nodded while eating a skewer of at and said, "Thank you."
The room was filled with the sounds of eating, smacking lips, and the clattering of chopsticks.
The scent of life filled every detail, turning Pu Sangzhi’s monotonous life a bit more colorful with just a simple al of barbecue.
Huo Feng watched his fairy family mber skewing at with a completely satisfied expression.
Then, as they ate, they suddenly struck up a conversation...
Finally, after holding back all evening, Lin Qianqian took the initiative to tell them both why she had been bullied by a group of classmates today.
She said, "The girls who bullied today are always arrogant in class and particularly like to pick on people, especially the good students who are soft-spoken. I have a sister who is excellent in her studies, but she’s also very well-behaved. She lives with one of those girls at the English teacher’s house and is bullied by her every day. Not only does she copy my sister’s howork and get her to help with assignnts, she even made my sister wash her underwear. Isn’t that too much?"
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, upon hearing the word ’underwear’, both wrinkled their brows in disgust while eating their barbecue.
Lin Qianqian then continued, "I used to never dare to confront those people. But now, with Brother Feng backing up, I’ve gotten a bit bold in class... I often argue with them and stand up for my sister. That’s why I ended up getting bullied today..."
After listening, Huo Feng said, "See, playing tough backfired, didn’t it?"
Lin Qianqian: "..."
