Faced with Huo Feng’s teasing, Pu Sangzhi swiftly withdrew her hand, turned around, and presented him with her back.
"Hey..."
Unable to see her expression, Huo Feng guessed she was embarrassed and teased, "Why aren’t you responding to ? Feeling guilty like a thief? Or trying too hard to cover it up? Admit it if you like . I’d be happy if you did..."
In fact, Pu Sangzhi, with her back to Huo Feng, was indeed embarrassed.
At that mont, her face was so red, she could feel her own cheeks warming up, her heart racing and chaotic.
To prevent Huo Feng from noticing her state, Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath while facing away from him and made up an excuse, "I’m not going to babble with you, I’m going to buy a bottle of water."
Having said that, she ran off as if fleeing, her ponytail swaying, the hurried silhouette revealing her inner guilt.
Huo Feng turned his head to watch her quickly receding figure, his lips curling up high...
There, there...
Look, now she actually gets this shy in front of him.
It proved that Pu Sangzhi, this woman, now really liked him!
The long and winding journey of Huo Feng’s pursuit was finally coming to an end.
At the mont, his only likely enemy was Tsinghua!
But this enemy was too formidable, and Huo Feng, still too weak, found it not so easy to deal with.
Thinking this, Huo Feng pursed his lips tightly and sighed.
Now, he really felt that studying wasn’t easy, and achieving excellent grades was even harder.
Him, ranked 301st in his level, didn’t hold much confidence in rocketing to the second place.
The recent monthly exam had dealt him a significant blow.
...
When they left the canteen it was almost 5:30 pm.
Pu Sangzhi had originally wanted Huo Feng to go back to his dorm to take a nap, but he insisted on sticking with her, refusing to leave.
So afterwards, she accompanied Huo Feng for a stroll around campus, talking as they walked, and it wasn’t until around six o’clock that they went back to their respective classes.
When the two parted, Huo Feng’s mood had considerably improved.
Seeing that he could talk and laugh later on, Pu Sangzhi also felt much more at ease.
Today was Christmas Eve, and after the evening self-study, Huo Feng ca looking for Pu Sangzhi again, carrying a big bag of Snake Fruit.
He said that since the Snake Fruit he previously gave her wasn’t bought by him, it lacked sentint. Therefore, he went to buy a lot more, giving her extra peace with the gifts.
Her heart was touched by the gesture and she appreciated the sincerity, but Pu Sangzhi still felt he was wasting money.
She scolded him lightly, but in the end, she accepted the Snake Fruit he brought, chatting with him as they walked back to the girls’ dormitories.
On the night of Christmas Eve, Dorm 308 for girls was lively.
When Pu Sangzhi returned to her dorm, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were busy making Douyin videos, participating in a Christmas Eve topic that had been trending.
Pu Sangzhi watched the two acting like goofballs in front of the cara and chuckled.
Suddenly, she felt that her current life was quite good, a peaceful kind of good...
Her family was well, her friends were well, Huo Feng was well...
Everything was as tranquil as water, yet there were touches of warmth and faint happiness seeping into every little detail of life.
Because the weather was too cold, everyone went to bed early.
Around 10 o’clock, the four girls in the dorm had already settled into their beds, voluntarily switched off the lights, and didn’t even need to wait for the dorm supervisor to close the gates.
And in the darkness of the room, it was quite lively; the three of them were playing with their phones and chatting eagerly, while Pu Sangzhi was resting with her eyes closed, occasionally joining in on their conversation.
Zhu Dandan said, "Tomorrow is Christmas! Do you think we should get so beer and chicken legs to celebrate when we co back in the evening?"
Dai Ya’an expressed surprise, "Beer? Where will you get it from?"
Zhu Dandan replied, "Order takeout! After school tomorrow afternoon, we can start ordering, then pick it up at the side gate, cover it with our school uniform and bring it back to the dorm. How about that for a plan?"
Excited by the idea, Wen Miao said, "Yeah, I haven’t had a drink in a long ti. Hey, what’s your alcohol tolerance like? Any heavy drinkers?"
Zhu Dandan admitted, "I’m no good, I can barely handle one bottle. So one is enough for !"
Dai Ya’an also piped up weakly, "I think I might handle half a bottle..."
Wen Miao couldn’t help but laugh, "You guys are too weak, I can down three bottles in one go. So, will I take on all three of you tomorrow by myself?"
"No..."
At this point, Pu Sangzhi added with even less confidence, "I can’t drink. I might collapse after one drink, or even just a sip..."
Zhu Dandan and Pu Sangzhi shared a quilt, the two of them using two blankets together.
So, after Pu Sangzhi said such a thing, Zhu Dandan couldn’t help but tease her, "Haha, knocked out by one drink? Really? That’s too weak!"
Pu Sangzhi insisted on her point, "Anyway, I’m not drinking. I really can’t... and when I get drunk, I’m pretty terrible—hardly anyone can stop ."
Wen Miao expressed disbelief, "You’re kidding, right? With your frail appearance, several people need to stop you?"
Zhu Dandan also expressed disbelief and said, "Sangzhi, you can’t lie just to avoid drinking! Usually, those who make excuses in advance are actually the ones who can drink the most!"
"Hey..."
Pu Sangzhi was a bit flustered by their joint attack, "I’m not lying to you, I really can’t drink. Do I look like soone who can handle their liquor?"
Wen Miao declared forcefully, "That still doesn’t justify getting knocked out by one drink. I don’t believe you’d get knocked out by one drink."
Zhu Dandan nodded in agreent, "I don’t believe it either."
Dai Ya’an then made a suggestion, "Alright, let’s stop arguing. Let’s just test Sangzhi’s alcohol tolerance tomorrow!"
"Hey!"
Pu Sangzhi was both anxious and afraid as her three roommates teased her, "I really can’t drink! And I beco terribly crazy when I’m drunk... I’m not lying to you!"
Pu Sangzhi was truly worried now.
She knew her weaknesses all too well...
Such as drinking alcohol, as well as her behavior when drunk...
Pu Sangzhi still rembered how a few years ago, she had gotten wasted at a family gathering.
That was the only ti she had been drunk in years...
And the main reason it was the only ti was that her drunken antics had scared so many people at ho that, after that incident, her father strictly forbade her from touching alcohol!
To this day, Pu Sangzhi still rembered Brother Ye Xi telling her seriously the next day upon waking up from her drunkenness, ’In the future, rember not to get drunk in front of others. It scares people...’
That’s right.
Pu Sangzhi also knew that her drunken antics could scare others, which is why she always claid she couldn’t drink and had a low alcohol tolerance.
The sa went for now...
Pu Sangzhi was insisting she couldn’t drink, for their own good.
Yet none of her three roommates believed her...
Especially Zhu Dandan, who lay beside her and shared the sa bed, and said, "I really want to see what Sangzhi looks like when she goes crazy from drinking! So, let’s make a decision and have fun with it! Tomorrow night, let’s drink and feast!"
"Hey..."
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t resist patting Zhu Dandan on the shoulder, "Dandan, you’ll regret it!"
Zhu Dandan laughed heartily, "I definitely won’t~ And now, you’ve got looking forward to it."
Wen Miao and Dai Ya’an said, " too."
Pu Sangzhi was at a loss for words, "You all..." are going to die!
Thus, the matter was roughly decided amidst their chatter.
Zhu Dandan then said, "I’ll order takeout tomorrow afternoon. You guys can go pick it up at the side door, okay? I have a performance with the Street Dance Club tomorrow afternoon, and I need to go on stage to dance, so I won’t be able to leave~ Please take care of the beer~"
"Oh no!"
Dai Ya’an suddenly exclaid, "Right, tomorrow afternoon there’s a Street Dance Club performance at the gym! I want to go see it~"
Wen Miao also said, "I want to check it out too... I heard Huo Feng and his brothers are performing as well."
Seizing the opportunity, Pu Sangzhi said, "That’s great, Huo Feng also asked to watch the Street Dance Club’s performance activity. Since nobody’s free to pick it up, let’s just cancel it and not drink, how about that?"
Facing Pu Sangzhi’s solitary opinion, the others in the dormitory said, "No way! We have to drink!"
Especially Zhu Dandan, who added, "Just to see you go crazy when you’re drunk, we have to drink!"
Pu Sangzhi, "..." What kind of people are these...
In the end, amidst their various opinions, it was decided that Pu Sangzhi and Wen Miao would go together to pick up the takeout.
After Christmas Eve, cos Christmas Day.
For students, this is a holiday worthy of so excitent and trouble.
Finding limited joy with limited resources in a limited environnt is a common form of amusent for students amidst hardships.
All in all, Pu Sangzhi had a feeling that she would be very busy on Christmas Day.
Because, although she didn’t make a fuss about the holiday, she was one of those who’d be caught up in the commotion...
By Huo Feng...
And by her three terrible roommates!
