Pu Sangzhi did not want to accept too many things from Huo Feng.
But she always ended up forcefully accepting a lot of stuff from Huo Feng, and he kept "feeding" her...
Gradually, she found herself in the situation of "taking soone’s favor makes it hard to say no."
Huo Feng had bought her this light blue sheath dress, which looked very good on her and indeed matched Huo Feng’s clothes for the day, giving off a couple’s outfit vibe.
But Pu Sangzhi always felt uncomfortable.
Under Huo Feng’s insistent request, Pu Sangzhi directly put on the blue dress, stored her red shirt in a bag, and Huo Feng carried it for her.
After that, they continued shopping.
Following this precedent, Pu Sangzhi was determined never to step into a clothing store again.
So later, at her insistence, Huo Feng accompanied her to browse through small accessory shops and even... the one-dollar store, the two-dollar store, and the ten-dollar store!
These overly affordable stores left Huo Feng completely useless.
His wallet was bulging, but there was nowhere to spend it!
Just after 11 in the morning, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng went to eat at a lavish place.
This ti, it was agreed that she would pay, and Pu Sangzhi imdiately went to pay after ordering, not giving Huo Feng a chance.
Huo Feng enjoyed the thrill of his girlfriend competing to pay for him, feeling comfortable and cozy...
Before the steak arrived, Pu Sangzhi took two small dishes to get so free fruit.
anwhile, Huo Feng sat at the table, editing a short Douyin video he had taken of Pu Sangzhi, adding a piece of music, and he was very satisfied as he hit send.
When Pu Sangzhi returned, she placed a high stack of fruits on his table and said, "Here, I just grabbed them randomly."
Huo Feng flashed a big toothy grin and said to her, "Thanks, my Little Sangzhi."
Pu Sangzhi sat down opposite him, glanced at him, and couldn’t resist deciding to have a serious talk with him.
"Huo Feng."
"Yes?"
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and spoke very seriously, "Please don’t buy such expensive things anymore. I can’t afford to pay you back, your money or your affection... My family doesn’t have much money, you know that."
Huo Feng nodded slightly, "Mm... you don’t need to pay it back."
That was exactly Pu Sangzhi’s point, "If it had been before when we were in Shanghai, I would definitely be able to pay you back all of these. But now I really don’t have the money... My family still owes hundreds of thousands in debts, my dad’s gone, and it’s just and my mom. I really can’t afford to pay you back... not even 100 yuan."
Huo Feng could see that Pu Sangzhi was very serious about this topic.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the dinner table beca sowhat heavy; Huo Feng put away his cheerful smile, pursed his lips slightly, and remained silent.
Seeing him like this, Pu Sangzhi continued, "I know this is your way of pursuing . But I’ve also said, I would definitely not date in high school. So your pursuit now, all this money and effort you’ve spent, I might not even respond."
Huo Feng kept silent, not saying a word.
Pu Sangzhi then said, "If you really want to pursue , you can do these things after college. Then I might consider thinking about whether or not to be with you... But for now, I hope we can just be friends. Huo Feng, can you consider a friend too?"
Of course not...
Huo Feng did not want to be just friends with her in this lifeti!
If he couldn’t date her, then better not to interact at all...
Huo Feng couldn’t bear the thought of watching the person he liked dating soone else.
But right now, Huo Feng didn’t know how to respond to her.
He suddenly felt a bit annoyed...
Huo Feng frowned, ran a hand through his hair, and annoyed, ssed up the hairstyle he had fixed early in the morning.
Noticing his reaction, Pu Sangzhi also realized she might have made the atmosphere awkward.
Actually, she hadn’t planned to have this conversation with him today.
But this 300-plus yuan outfit had touched a nerve.
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t afford it herself...
Because she couldn’t afford it, and yet soone bought it for her, she couldn’t accept this affection... therefore, she felt sowhat inferior.
Feeling inferior can easily lead one to say things that hurt others.
That was the case for Pu Sangzhi right then.
"I’m sorry..."
Realizing she had disturbed Huo Feng’s mood, Pu Sangzhi could only apologize softly.
Just then, their two steaks arrived, temporarily easing the awkward atmosphere between them.
Once the waiter left, Huo Feng’s face softened a bit, and picking up his knife and fork, he finally responded, "No matter what, I just want to pursue you. I’ll chase you in high school, and in college too, unless you have a boyfriend now. If you fall for soone else, I’ll stop."
Pu Sangzhi stared at him, "I can’t accept your gifts anymore."
Huo Feng: "Fine, I won’t give them now. I’ll save the money and give you sothing better in college."
Pu Sangzhi: "Huo Feng..."
Fearing she might say sothing confusing again, Huo Feng cut her off, "You don’t have money, but I do. I’ll support you!"
"I’ll support you..."
These four words, at that very mont, struck Pu Sangzhi’s heart.
In that instant, she felt her heartbeat skip a beat, her hands shaking slightly as she held the knife and fork.
The young man in front of her, with a youthful face and immature heart, lacking any mature and steady air, always burst out with a strong sense of security at certain monts!
