Huo Feng always had only one thought regarding Pu Sangzhi: chase her!
But Pu Sangzhi always had a ss of thoughts about Huo Feng, such as: dislike, rejection, annoyance, touched, reliant, trusting...
And now, perhaps another one was added: fondness.
This morning, they had agreed to et in the cafeteria, order food together, pay together, but what was different today was... today, it was Pu Sangzhi who swiped the card to pay, and it was Huo Feng’s money she spent.
Even though her al was still simple—porridge with side dishes—her act of taking the initiative to spend his money was enough to silently declare her change in attitude towards Huo Feng.
It was also the first ti Huo Feng saw her willingly spend his money; he watched her with a beam, his eyes brimming with pride!
It was genuine pride...
He actually managed to cajole Pu Sangzhi into spending his money, he even admired his own capability!
You have to know, she was the kind of person who could throw out the words "let’s never speak again" over a gifted dress.
This change now undoubtedly signified that she was letting her guard down with Huo Feng!
From now on, Huo Feng could slowly start to implent his "nourish her" plan!
He needed to practice the smaller accounts more, sell more gear, ah, he was finally going to experience what it felt like to provide for a girlfriend!
In the vast cafeteria hall, sitting with Pu Sangzhi and having a al together, suddenly hearing Pu Sangzhi say she wanted to join him in reclaiming the al card money... these series of events were truly appetizing!
Huo Feng was in high spirits as he listened, feeling that even the morning’s spare ribs and noodle soup tasted exceptionally good!
He asked Pu Sangzhi, "Interviewing the beautiful Sangzhi, why did you suddenly change your mind and decide to claim money with ? Are you getting cold feet all of a sudden?"
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him and replied, "Nonsense. I just want to keep an eye on you, afraid you’ll ss things up."
Huo Feng laughed, "Why don’t you say you’re afraid you can’t handle it yourself, so you need my support?"
Pu Sangzhi pouted, "I’m not afraid."
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Really not afraid?"
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Not afraid."
Huo Feng "tsk tsk" twice, "You can tell right away, you’ve never seen the dark side of girls. Hey, I suddenly don’t want to accompany you. I want to let you see what the dark side of girls is like."
Pu Sangzhi "tsk" and looked down at her porridge, stirring it, "If you don’t want to accompany , then don’t. Just pretend I never said anything... You find yours, I’ll find mine."
"No, no, no... I was just joking!"
Huo Feng quickly took back what he just said, and added, "It’s not often you want to get up to mischief with , shouldn’t I perform well in front of you?"
"It’s not getting up to mischief!"
Pu Sangzhi solemnly declared, "It’s just to communicate, rely communicate! You’re not allowed to intimidate or threaten the other party, and you can’t be rough with them! However, you can play the tough guy to so extent, but not too much! Hmm... I’ll play the good cop."
"Wow!"
Huo Feng furrowed his brows, "That’s too sneaky, playing the bad cop and you playing the good cop! So in the end, I’m the bad guy and you’re the good guy, huh?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and smiled, "It was Dandan’s idea. She said since you were going to play the bad cop anyway, that I might as well coordinate by playing the good cop, it’s not too much, right?"
"Tsk tsk..."
Huo Feng side-eyed Pu Sangzhi with disdain.
Although he looked at her in such a way, he didn’t actually mind it.
Playing bad cop or good cop didn’t matter; what was important was that Huo Feng didn’t expect Pu Sangzhi to also set him up like this.
Over one night, it seed she had sowhat changed?
Seeing his expression, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but grow cautious, "Do you, mind?"
Huo Feng tilted his eyebrow, nodding.
Of course, he didn’t actually mind, he just wanted to see her reaction.
Seeing that he minded, Pu Sangzhi dropped the idea, "Then, let’s not do it that way. We’ll see when the ti cos..."
Huo Feng nodded again, unusually noncommittal and unshowy.
Because, he was sowhat looking forward to how Pu Sangzhi would handle the matter?
Once they both made a move together, how would she distribute their roles in the end?
Today’s Pu Sangzhi gave Huo Feng a very different feeling.
Compared to her usual cuteness, she seed to have an added flair of intrigue!
...
And so, they scheduled to go to Class 9 of the second year before afternoon classes to claim the al card money from those three girls.
Pu Sangzhi spent the day feeling extrely nervous yet amidst the nerves, there was anticipation.
She herself found it strange...
She was actually looking forward to what might happen when she went with Huo Feng to carry out this task.
At noon, Pu Sangzhi went to the cafeteria to eat, again using Huo Feng’s card.
Huo Feng didn’t join her for lunch as he said he planned to order takeout with "his sons."
Thus, Pu Sangzhi ate with Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao as usual.
The dishes were the regular ones, one vegetable and one at or two vegetables and a rice, which didn’t cost much.
But even those few bucks when swiped from Huo Feng’s card gave Pu Sangzhi the feeling of being kept.
She was being taken care of by Huo Feng?
Or was Huo Feng becoming her al ticket? Was that appropriate?
Pu Sangzhi was secretly thinking in her heart, musing...
In Huo Feng’s al card, there was more than 600 yuan saved, which could consider him a little tycoon.
Zhu Dandan stared at the number on Huo Feng’s al card, utterly tempted, and kept inciting Pu Sangzhi to treat everyone using Huo Feng’s card.
But, Pu Sangzhi herself didn’t feel quite right using it, so how could she possibly treat others without permission?
So she refused...
Because of that, Zhu Dandan blad her for being too timid and even said bluntly that Huo Feng wouldn’t mind her spending his money.
Huo Feng truly didn’t mind, and moreover, the money he usually spent on Pu Sangzhi was already a lot, the cost of one al wasn’t a big deal.
But Pu Sangzhi just refused to treat others, firmly refused!
Which made Zhu Dandan very sad.
...
At 1 p.m., Pu Sangzhi had agreed to et Huo Feng at the teaching building of the second year of high school.
About how to ask for money, Pu Sangzhi had thought of many different strategies and ways of communication.
However, even though she prepared thoroughly, she was still quite nervous...
Because, Pu Sangzhi was afraid of being rejected.
If she were rejected, what should she say? Should she look pitiful, or be shalessly persistent? Or should she ask Huo Feng to play the bad guy?
All these possible consequences, Pu Sangzhi didn’t dare to imagine; she thought, she would have to play it by ear at the ti.
At 1 o’clock, the second-year teaching building was still very quiet.
Most of the students were napping in the dormitories, and there were hardly any students around.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng ca to the outside of Class 2 (9), and hid in a corner. She grabbed Huo Feng’s sleeve, took several deep breaths, appearing very nervous.
She asked Huo Feng, "What should I say later to sound more natural?"
Huo Feng looked at her adorable face and couldn’t help but laugh, "Believe , there’s no way you’ll sound natural. The key is, don’t be afraid of awkwardness. Because this situation is inherently awkward, so whatever you say will be awkward."
Huo Feng indeed was a person who understood the ways of the world.
Just a few words from him captured the essence of the situation, making Pu Sangzhi even more nervous.
Pu Sangzhi asked him, "Then, then what do you think I should say?"
Huo Feng taught her, "Just be straightforward. You ask her whether she found your al card yesterday? And if she used your money, could she return it to you? If she denies it, I’ll lend you my phone, and you can show her the surveillance photo."
"Ah..."
Pu Sangzhi was startled, "Isn’t that too direct? Could she possibly return my money if we do it like this? And... aren’t you coming with ?"
Huo Feng seed to have figured it out.
So the reason she suggested they do this together was because she was too scared and timid?
Huo Feng patted her head, "It’s okay, you can do it alone, I believe in you."
Pu Sangzhi was shocked, "Are you really not accompanying ?"
Huo Feng placed a hand on her shoulder, speaking earnestly, "I’ll stand here and observe first. If they bully you, and things go wrong, I’ll co out to support you. I think, you need to see those unfriendly faces for yourself, it’s good training for you!"
Pu Sangzhi opened her mouth in disbelief, shocked that Huo Feng would actually say such a thing!
He was thinking of her training?
Him?!
"Listen, I am your strong backup."
Huo Feng patted his own shoulder, "So, in a critical mont, I’ll co out and play the hero! But before that, I’ll enjoy watching you get slapped. Heh, am I being too honest?"
Way too honest to the point of being excessive!
Pu Sangzhi, annoyed, shrugged off the hand on her shoulder and snorted, "Then I don’t need your help! I can do it myself!"
"Don’t be angry..."
Huo Feng’s face had an amused smile, "I really want to help you, truly! But I also think, you need training, you have to hone your interpersonal skills."
Pu Sangzhi knew he was slick and cunning in dealing with people.
She was not like him...
Sigh!
So frustrating!
To be belittled by Huo Feng like this?!
"I won’t discuss it with you anymore!"
Pu Sangzhi said indignantly, "I’ll figure out a way by myself! Don’t you co out later!"
Huo Feng’s mouth curved up high, "I’ll co out, to back you up."
Pu Sangzhi, "I don’t want it!"
Huo Feng, "But I love you, ma!"
Pu Sangzhi, "Get lost!"
