Thursday turned out to be an impromptu holiday due to a sudden flu outbreak.
Huo Feng liked these unexpected holidays because it was only during such tis that he didn’t have to share Pu Sangzhi with Lin Qianqian.
He could monopolize all of Pu Sangzhi’s tutoring ti, all of it!
The only pity was that Pu Sangzhi was sick.
Huo Feng was afraid she’d use that as an excuse to push him away and kick him out of her house early...
So when Huo Feng woke up early in the morning, he lay in bed and began to imagine everything that might happen that afternoon.
He now had to be careful in every aspect when facing Pu Sangzhi, ready at all tis to handle whatever difficulties she might throw his way.
After watching romance idol dramas all morning, Huo Feng learned so flirting techniques that looked very useful...
Studying gave him confidence, a sense of assurance, and even more confidence that he could win over Pu Sangzhi very soon!
At ten o’clock, Huo Feng got out of bed, went downstairs to freshen up and have lunch, and then went to find Pu Sangzhi.
In this five-story residential building, Huo Feng’s room was on the fourth floor, opposite Shen Nuan’s room.
With the flu going around this week, Shen Nuan had also unfortunately caught it!
Huo Feng had just learned of this news when he ca back last night, but he was quite disdainful and deliberately kept his distance from Shen Nuan, afraid she would infect him.
The staircase was right next to Shen Nuan’s room, and as he passed her door, Huo Feng subconsciously thought about pushing the door open to check on her...
But after the incident yesterday afternoon when he walked in on Pu Sangzhi changing clothes, Huo Feng dared not carelessly open a girl’s room door anymore.
So he prepared to knock first.
However, just as he lifted his hand to knock, a conversation suddenly ca from inside Shen Nuan’s room.
Huo Feng heard a very familiar male voice...
"Sigh, what kind of flu is this that has tornted my wife to such an extent, it’s so pitiful..."
It was Lin Yuhao’s voice!
Huo Feng recognized it!
At that mont, Huo Feng was incredibly shocked inside: Damn! Haozi, this guy really knows how to seize the opportunity! Falling sick and he just runs straight to soone’s ho, shaless!
In the room, Shen Nuan, with her runny nose from the cold, lay in bed, looking pitiful.
Though it was just a minor illness, Shen Nuan’s complexion really didn’t look as good as usual, her face was sallow and her hair a bit greasy, making her look much more tired and haggard.
Lin Yuhao sat by her bed, holding a cup of hot water, while stirring it, he said with pity, "You, always not dressing properly. Now you’re suffering, aren’t you? Don’t think about wearing less because it makes you look fat. A bit chubby is quite cute, and I like seeing your little penguin look. Just rember, starting next week wear your down jacket, I like when you tuck yourself into it and only your round little face sticks out, it’s especially cute."
Lin Yuhao sure knew how to talk, and his words made Shen Nuan, who was blowing her nose, start to laugh. Her little face was full of happiness.
Lin Yuhao took the tissue with which Shen Nuan had just blown her nose and casually threw it into the trash can. Shen Nuan on the bed turned over and, holding her blanket over half her face, looked at him with a smile, "Haozi, how co I never realized before that you’re so good?"
Lin Yuhao chuckled, "Before, your eyes were only on the fatty, out of the ten of us, you only played with him. How could you have had any attention left for ?"
Shen Nuan grabbed his sleeve, pouting, "Oh co on, don’t hold onto that grudge anymore. I played with the fatty not because I liked him, but because he really is easy to talk to. He has the best personality out of all ten of you."
"Oh?"
Lin Yuhao raised an eyebrow, "So I have a bad personality? Miss, you never really gave a chance to get to know you."
Shen Nuan laughed shyly, her eyes curving like crescent moons, "Oh Haozi~ don’t be so petty with ! Besides, didn’t I say I’ve noticed you for quite a while?~ Because out of all ten, you’re the best-looking."
Although, in terms of looks, he was just a little behind her great-nephew, but only a little!
This was what Shen Nuan thought.
"All right, the water should be cool enough. Let take a sip to check..."
Lin Yuhao picked up the hot water he had been stirring for a while and took a sip, confirming the temperature was right, and then said, "Here, drink more water."
Shen Nuan sat up a bit, leaning against the headboard, and took the hot water Lin Yuhao had tested for her, holding it in her hands, she smiled with happiness, "Haozi, you’re really nice. I can’t repay your kindness~"
At this point, Lin Yuhao couldn’t help but rember the matter of the scarf.
He sighed, extending his hand helplessly, "What about the scarf you promised? Feng Ge started wearing his last Sunday. I saw that even when soy sauce dripped on it, he didn’t change it."
At this, Huo Feng listening at the door thought to himself: Damn! There’s no need to ntion the soy sauce!
Shen Nuan apologized with a smile, "Oh, Haozi, why do you keep making things difficult for today? How could I have known that Sangzhi would act so quickly? I only just learned the basics!"
Lin Yuhao was utterly helpless with Shen Nuan, "Alright, I won’t trouble you. Where’s the stuff? I’ll do it myself..."
Shen Nuan was startled, "Huh?"
Lin Yuhao said, "Seeing you so sick, how could I bear to have you knit a scarf for ? But as the weather’s getting colder, I was really looking forward to wearing the one you’re making. So, if I don’t help you knit, I’m afraid I won’t have one to wear!"
"Ah—!"
Shen Nuan cried out in delight, "Haozi, you’re amazing! You spoil so much!"
Lin Yuhao smiled affectionately, "Who else would I do this for but you? Don’t I have to take extra care of you?"
Shen Nuan pointed to the ground on one side, "Hehe, the stuff is over there..."
Lin Yuhao stood up and went to pick up the yarn that Shen Nuan hadn’t touched for a long ti.
Last weekend, Shen Nuan had even sent him a ssage, telling him that she had seriously started learning to knit a scarf and had spent two hours on it!
At that ti, Lin Yuhao was quite touched and thought he shouldn’t push her too hard, not to exhaust her, even advising her to rest early.
But when Lin Yuhao pulled out the yarn from the bag, he realized that she had barely even started!
Having such a girlfriend really felt like a dog’s life.
Lin Yuhao took out the yarn and knitting needles and sighed deeply, "Sigh, teach how to do it."
Shen Nuan cheerfully handed over her phone, brought up the tutorial she had been learning from last week, and placed it on the bedside table for Lin Yuhao to watch.
In this way, Lin Yuhao actually began knitting the DIY gift that was originally ant to be from Shen Nuan to himself...
The entire conversation between the couple was overheard by Huo Feng, who was standing at the door. He couldn’t help covering his mouth to stifle his laughter, rcilessly teasing poor Lin Yuhao.
Huo Feng knew all too well that his little aunt was a chronic procrastinator with absolutely no self-discipline.
In comparison, the self-disciplined and reliable Pu Sangzhi, who always kept her promises and was very proactive, was much more dependable.
At least, Huo Feng didn’t have to knit a scarf for Pu Sangzhi... to give to himself!
In the end, Huo Feng didn’t disturb the lovebirds in the room.
He didn’t knock on the door, didn’t enter, nor did he expose their sweet little lie.
Huo Feng figured Lin Yuhao was pitiable enough already.
So, by the ti Lin Yuhao got his hands on the scarf and showed it off to his buddies, Huo Feng would have to really build him up, he would have to praise the scarf and Lin Yuhao’s effort.
This was his, Huo Feng’s, form of ridicule...
Huo Feng went downstairs, brushed his teeth, washed his face, shampooed his hair, blow-dried it, used so hair pomade, spritzed on so cologne, and ticulously grood himself from head to toe.
Looking at his fashionable reflection in the mirror, Huo Feng told himself, "Next, you’re also going to see your sick girlfriend, and you absolutely can’t do worse than Haozi! Put on your best performance!"
With that, Huo Feng also finished preparing for a loving half-day visit to Pu Sangzhi.
...
At 11 a.m., Huo Feng arrived two hours early at Pu Sangzhi’s doorstep.
He knocked on Pu Sangzhi’s door and, as he expected, Chen Huifen was the one to open it.
Huo Feng brought a bag of fruit, a selection of cold dicines, and a silkie chicken.
As soon as he entered the house, he told Chen Huifen that he planned to make Pu Sangzhi a chicken soup to nourish her body.
Chen Huifen didn’t stop him, not only did she let him in, but also allowed him to move around their ho freely.
The kitchen was entrusted to him without worry, and he was left to his own devices.
Huo Feng spent 20 minutes preparing the silkie chicken, blanching it in boiling water before adding other ingredients and putting it in a stew pot to cook.
It would need to simr for at least three to four hours; by dinner ti, there would be a bowl of nutritious, restorative silkie chicken soup ready.
After Huo Feng finished preparing the chicken soup, he washed his hands, removed his apron, and then headed over to Pu Sangzhi’s room door, raising his hand to knock...
"Sangzhi, are you awake?" Huo Feng asked very gentlemanly.
