Pu Sangzhi was called to Huo Mingshan’s office for a lecture for the second ti, and when she returned, her mood wasn’t worse than the last ti.
Perhaps it was a case of ’once bitten, twice shy’...
This ti, Huo Mingshan’s admonishnts and reasons were similar to the last, so much so that Pu Sangzhi felt upset while listening, but felt nothing afterwards...
By the ti she walked back to the girls’ dormitory, all the negative feelings had almost completely dissipated.
She wasn’t very afraid of Huo Mingshan’s ho visit.
In the past, she might have been afraid that Huo Mingshan would talk to her mother for this reason, but not anymore.
Because now, her mother was quite familiar with Huo Feng, and, her mother had a very good impression of him.
So Pu Sangzhi thought, even if Teacher Huo visited ho, he might not achieve the outco he wanted. Because her mother, there was a very good chance, would speak on behalf of Huo Feng...
All in all, after being lectured this ti, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t as emotionally distraught and confused as last ti, preparing to break off all ties with Huo Feng.
On the contrary, after this lecture, Pu Sangzhi actually wanted to talk to Huo Feng – to warn him, taking this opportunity, to stop making physical advances towards her!
Huo Feng had been acting strangely lately, always liking to touch her, pinch her, or rub her head.
Pu Sangzhi had been trying very hard to ward off these intentional or unintentional advances, but sotis, he was just too quick, catching her off guard, like today at noon...
Pu Sangzhi speculated that it might be because that night, she let him hold her willfully, and even held her hand all night, which gave him a taste of sweetness.
That’s why he was starting these inappropriate little moves now.
Pu Sangzhi had told him off many tis, but he wouldn’t listen no matter what she said.
With today’s incident having occurred, Pu Sangzhi felt she could make use of it, to make him more restrained in the future and stop thinking about taking liberties with her.
Besides this plan, Pu Sangzhi didn’t pay any special attention to today’s lecture.
Or perhaps, to her, everything else was minor.
She wasn’t particularly concerned...
After Pu Sangzhi returned to the girls’ dormitory, it was dead quiet, with Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, and Dai Ya’an already in bed playing with their phones, preparing to sleep soon.
It was just then that Pu Sangzhi ca back.
As soon as she did, the three roommates all lifted their heads, gazing anxiously at her.
Zhu Dandan was the first to ask, "Sangzhi, Teacher Huo didn’t give you a hard ti, did he?"
Pu Sangzhi shook her head.
Then, Wen Miao, as she propped up her head with one hand, also said, "It’s best if Teacher Huo didn’t give you a hard ti. Otherwise, you two will beco the laughingstock of the entire school. A love display gone awry, biting off more than one can chew!"
You see, the incident of Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng showing affection in the cafeteria and then being openly taken away by Huo Mingshan was known to most of the students in the school.
Good news stays within the walls, while bad news travels a thousand miles.
And because of this incident, Pu Sangzhi was involuntarily put in the spotlight again in this chaotic campus, becoming a topic of gossip for many students.
Pu Sangzhi, although speechless about this, could only accept it, "I can’t control how others see it or what they think, I have enough troubles of my own."
"What?"
Zhu Dandan was startled, "Have you guys got into trouble? Has Teacher Huo punished you? Ah! He’s not going to call your parents, is he?"
"Sort of."
Pu Sangzhi put down her bag and took off her coat, then slowly climbed into bed, adding, "Sigh, he said he’s going to visit ho tomorrow. He also said he wants to discuss this topic with my mom."
"No way, he really called for your parents..."
From the bunk above, Dai Ya’an let out a sigh, "Sangzhi, you better hold on tight. I’ve heard Teacher Huo is quite persuasive. If he convinces your mom, you and Huo Feng might have to break up~"
Pu Sangzhi offhandedly retorted, "I’m not dating him!"
"What?"
Dai Ya’an was even more surprised, "You two aren’t dating yet? But aren’t you knitting a scarf for him?"
Dai Ya’an didn’t hang out much with Pu Sangzhi and the other three, so she wasn’t really aware of the actual situation.
Dai Ya’an had seen Pu Sangzhi bring back four balls of yarn last night, and they had been talking about knitting a scarf for Huo Feng.
Therefore, Dai Ya’an assud that Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng were already dating.
Not just her; probably the whole school already thought so, right?
At this mont, Pu Sangzhi really regretted her decision to knit a scarf for Huo Feng.
She should have just written a casual greeting card...
No, she shouldn’t have agreed to give him a gift again in the first place!
Pu Sangzhi regretted her soft-hearted decision.
"An’an, don’t spread rumors. Our Sangzhi and Brother Feng are still in a ’will they, won’t they’ phase, and it might last a while. Sangzhi is definitely not looking to date in high school, you know!" Zhu Dandan reminded Dai Ya’an, urging her to keep this door on her mouth locked.
Dai Ya’an finally nodded, weakly saying, "Oh, I understand now."
"Well, let’s sleep."
In the lower bunk, Pu Sangzhi pulled her blanket over herself, preparing to start her nap.
Her mood seed stable, as if this matter hadn’t affected her at all.
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao both gave her an extra glance but said nothing more.
Just as the four of them put down their phones and closed their eyes to nap, Zhu Dandan’s phone vibrated.
Zhu Dandan picked up her phone and saw a WeChat call from Huo Feng.
Zhu Dandan had the premonition that Huo Feng definitely wanted to ask about Pu Sangzhi and that the conversation would take a while, which ant her nap ti would inevitably be lost.
Thus, Zhu Dandan propped herself halfway up and tossed the phone to Sangzhi’s bed across from her, "Sangzhi, take the call."
Sangzhi frowned as she sat up in bed and took Zhu Dandan’s phone, letting out a light sigh.
But she didn’t complain or mutter anything like "how annoying"; instead, she quietly got out of bed, put on her shoes, walked out of the dorm, and answered the call.
The dormitory sank into a peaceful nap, while outside, the atmosphere wasn’t bad either.
"Dandan, has Sangzhi co back? How is her mood? Does she seem okay?"
As soon as the call connected, Huo Feng’s worried voice ca through.
Sangzhi stood by the window where clothes were hanging, looking up at the scenery outside, her lips slightly curling as she said, "I’m feeling okay."
Huo Feng imdiately recognized her voice and panicked, "Sangzhi, it’s you..."
Sangzhi answered faintly, "Mhm."
"Sangzhi..."
On the other end, Huo Feng paused for a long ti. He had many words of concern he wanted to express, but he didn’t know how to start.
Then, a multitude of thoughts condensed into one sentence, and he said, "I’m sorry, Sangzhi..."
This was his second apology.
Sangzhi rembered the last ti he apologized to her, which was during the sports et when that incident about saring her reputation occurred.
For soone like him to let go of his pride and repeatedly apologize to her...
That alone showed that, in actuality, he was a little afraid of her...
Sangzhi guessed it might be because he was afraid she would find him annoying, or perhaps afraid she would say sothing to hurt his feelings?
After contemplating his psyche for a while, she softened her heart.
"Huo Feng..."
"Huh?"
Sangzhi took a deep breath and slowly said, "I’m going to punish you. From now on, you can’t get physical with !"
There was a mont of astonishnt on the other end of the line, then a voice laced with delight followed, "Is that all?"
Sangzhi chuckled, "What else? You want to break off our friendship?"
"No, no, no..."
Huo Feng hurriedly denied it and then laughed, "Hey, I was just afraid you’d break off our friendship. Otherwise, I’d have to find ways to coax you again. You are so hard to coax, and I’ve almost exhausted all my tricks. I’m nearly at my wit’s end!"
Sangzhi couldn’t help laughing, "Nonsense, who needs you to coax them?"
Huo Feng pat his chest, feigning sentintality, "Ah, Sangzhi has grown up; as your husband, I’m so relieved~"
Sangzhi didn’t banter with him further. Her smile faded and she suddenly spoke very seriously, "Huo Feng, you need to change."
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Hm?"
Sangzhi continued, "I hope you’ll study hard, get rid of the bad behavior, turn over a new leaf, and beco a good student. Mm... also, you need to improve and let your grades do the talking."
Huo Feng sighed, responding helplessly, "Yeah, I know."
Then Sangzhi added, "I hope you promise that no matter to what extent we get to know each other, you won’t try to change ."
Huo Feng nodded, "Mm..."
Sangzhi said, "I want to study hard. My goal is Tsinghua. During this ti, I hope I influence you, not the other way around."
Huo Feng replied, "Of course. It must be you influencing ! Without you leading the way, how could I get into Tsinghua?"
Sangzhi laughed softly, "Mm, finally, I hope you can also get into Tsinghua. I’ll help you."
Huo Feng chuckled, "Definitely, getting into Tsinghua and marrying you is my life goal, Huo Feng!"
Sangzhi silently pursed her lips.
