"I’m telling you, my younger cousins are super cute!"
Huo Feng persuaded Pu Sangzhi in her ear, "I guarantee you’ll like them the mont you see them! How about it? Shall I take you with to hang out?"
Without even lifting her eyelids, Pu Sangzhi flatly refused, "No thanks."
Huo Feng: "Why? It’s so boring to stay at ho alone. Otherwise, I’ll bring them over to play at your place."
Pu Sangzhi: "No thanks!"
Huo Feng: "Why?"
Pu Sangzhi sighed, "I said no ans no."
Huo Feng couldn’t understand, "I’m not asking you to go out, I’m bringing people to your house to play. I can’t just forget about you because I have younger cousins, can I? Wouldn’t you be too pitiful all alone?"
Pu Sangzhi wanted to say: She was far from pitiful, she just wanted to cherish the few days of peace without Huo Feng!
She really needed to ask Huo Feng... not to bring any more little devils to her house!
So, Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and earnestly said to Huo Feng, "I don’t want to play with your younger cousins. I only have these few days to rest, I want to read alone and get a good sleep. So, just give a break and let have a few days of freedom, okay?"
It was only when she explained herself so clearly that Huo Feng got the ssage.
He "Oh"ed and gave up on the idea.
anwhile, Pan Bo continued to ask others, "Haozi, where are you planning to hang out during the lunar new year?"
Lin Yuhao replied, "I definitely won’t be staying at ho. That woman at ho will for sure have a bunch of annoying relatives over; they will just bother . When that ti cos, I’ll go find Shen Nuan. We’ve already agreed to take a short trip locally."
The ’woman’ Lin Yuhao was talking about was his stepmother.
Lin Yuhao clashed with that woman, so, whenever there were big holidays, he generally didn’t want to stay at ho.
Especially now that he had a girlfriend, Lin Yuhao felt like he had found a place to belong.
If that ho couldn’t accommodate him and that woman found him irritating, he would just go to Shen Nuan.
Shen Nuan would comfort him, keep him company, and even cheer him up.
So, Lin Yuhao’s plans for the lunar new year were pretty much set.
"Aiya, that’s so romantic."
Pan Bo nodded, "But you’re rich. Your dad is willing to give you money to take your girlfriend out. Eh... what should I do then? Going to visit relatives is really boring; I want to have a different kind of new year."
Pan Bo fell into worry.
Just then, Zhu Dandan suddenly suggested, "You can ask Wen Miao out for so sports!"
Pan Bo imdiately broke into a sweat...
You see, as soone who was overweight, Pan Bo had zero interest in sports.
He had been too closely associated with Wen Miao lately.
Under Wen Miao’s enthusiastic invitations, he had sowhat reluctantly gone to her gym for a few workout sessions out of politeness.
But Pan Bo was truly exhausted!
The workout that Wen Miao had planned for him could strip off a layer of his fat...
However, Zhu Dandan’s suggestion received Wen Miao’s approval.
Wen Miao said: "If you’re coming to find , just give a heads up. I’ll get the keys to the gym from my dad."
Pan Bo gave an awkward smile, "I’ll think about it, if I have ti, I’ll co over to practice boxing with you."
Wen Miao: "Okay."
Afterward, Pan Bo turned to Gu Yang: "Yangzi, how are you planning to spend these few days of the new year?"
Gu Yang gestured with his hand, "I’m planning to fall in love with gaming. If you want to hang out, head to the internet café. I’ll be at my place; we can play together online."
Pan Bo: "Hmm..."
Actually, there were only about ten days left until school started after the new year.
These ten days were precious to everyone, so everyone had their own plans.
On one side, after much thought and struggle, Huo Feng eventually changed his mind, "Sangzhi, how about I spend the new year with you?"
Just as she was picking up so lamb with her chopsticks, Pu Sangzhi’s hand trembled as if she heard sothing terrible!
She asked, "Why?"
Huo Feng said with a mischievous smile, "My hair has been cut like this; I’m embarrassed to et my younger siblings. They used to see as an idol, you know. My younger brother thought I was handsor than Liu Haoran, and my sister thought I was handsor than Wang Junkai. In their eyes, I was a male god. Now with my hair this way, I bet they won’t want to play with ."
Pu Sangzhi glanced at Huo Feng with disdain, "What if I don’t want to spend it with you?"
Huo Feng’s smile grew even more smug, "That’s impossible! How could you not want to spend it with ? Without , there’s simply no one to seek you out."
Pu Sangzhi: "..."
Although Pu Sangzhi truly didn’t want to spend the new year with Huo Feng,
what Huo Feng said just now really hit a nerve.
It also left Pu Sangzhi in a silence that lasted for a whole half minute.
She suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.
She seed to have many friends and sisters around her, forming a lively scene.
But the only person who truly cared about her and would seek her out was Huo Feng...
Without Huo Feng, really nobody would look for her...
Later, Pu Sangzhi stopped talking.
She also let Huo Feng arrange his schedule however he wanted.
After all, no matter how Huo Feng arranged it, her schedule was nothing more than studying and sleeping.
Adding Huo Feng into these two activities wasn’t a big deal.
At most, her ears would endure a bit more noise, and her mouth would get a bit more tired, but her mood might improve sowhat.
...
After lunch, everyone took a half-hour nap.
In the afternoon, the three girls distributed the exam results and test papers to the ten boys one by one.
As the winter vacation tutoring was not long, so it was hard to see much progress from its effects.
The scores for these three subjects didn’t differ much from those of the diagnostic exams.
This left the three girls sowhat disappointed, feeling that the boys had not been studying seriously over the past few days!
However, for the sake of everyone having a good Spring Festival, they did not criticize the ten boys for their poor results.
Even Ye Qingcao, who was always firm in her attitude, just sighed and said, "Anyway, I’m quite disappointed in you all this ti. I won’t say anything harsh; you know what I an."
The ten boys silently accepted their disappointed expressions.
In the afternoon, tutoring ended around 4:30 p.m., by which ti the planned lessons were almost completed.
Pu Sangzhi’s tutoring for Huo Feng also ended at 4:30 p.m.
At 4:30 p.m., everyone finished their revisions, packed up their bags, and gathered all study-related items.
With that, they could now look forward to a carefree and enjoyable Spring Festival dedicated to fun!
Pu Sangzhi heard about the boys’ tutoring progress from the other girls, and she felt sowhat disappointed at first.
However, Pu Sangzhi believed that while a teacher can lead you to the door, it’s up to the individual to practice.
When it cos to studying, attitude is often more important than grades.
Only with the right attitude and self-engagent in learning can one improve their academic performance.
Otherwise, no amount of external force is enough to make a person progress.
A person’s achievents often depend on themselves and cannot rely on others.
Thus, it was possible that these ten brothers had not yet truly entered a study mode.
Pu Sangzhi thought: after the Spring Festival is over and the new term begins, she would slowly help them adjust. For now, it was best to let them have a comfortable Spring Festival.
...
After 4:30 p.m., under Huo Feng’s arrangents, everybody packed their bags, went their separate ways, and bid each other farewell.
The group of young boys and girls dispersed once more, but their bond remained unbroken.
Huo Feng rode his electric scooter to take Pu Sangzhi ho.
Since it was still early, he took Pu Sangzhi to Tangxia on the way and forcibly bought so New Year goods for her to take ho.
Nuts, candies, chocolates, dried goods, and fruits... all sorts of things.
Besides these, Huo Feng also bought so Spring Festival couplets and good-luck characters in the supermarket, all neatly packaged, ready to decorate Pu Sangzhi’s ho.
Actually, Pu Sangzhi felt that these things were quite unnecessary. Moreover, she had never thought of bothering with them herself.
To her and her mother, the New Year was just like any other day.
It was said to be the New Year...
In fact, no relatives would co to their ho, and they were not in a position to entertain any.
During those days, she and her mother simply enjoyed so rest.
With the shoe factory closed, her mother had to take a break.
Other than that, the Spring Festival had no more significance for the two of them.
But Huo Feng’s ideas were different from Pu Sangzhi’s.
Huo Feng was soone who greatly valued the sense of ceremony.
He paid much attention to these small details in life and cared a lot about these intangible forms.
However, this didn’t an that Huo Feng was inconsiderate...
It just indicated that he was a very refined man.
Soon after, Huo Feng, carrying a bunch of items, rode the electric scooter with Pu Sangzhi to her ho.
Upon arriving, he imdiately took out the goods he had bought and began to personally decorate her house...
In her ho, Huo Feng didn’t act like an outsider at all.
