The next morning at 6 am, Huo Feng groggily woke up.
As he ca to, he imdiately recognized his surroundings and knew where he was.
However, the power of his hangover was imnse, giving him such a headache that he couldn’t recall what had happened the night before.
"Ah...hisss..."
Huo Feng took a deep breath of cool air and smacked his head with his broad palm, feeling his whole head buzz as if it were about to explode!
He wanted to get out of bed and find Pu Sangzhi, but his headache was so severe that he had to lie down in bed for a while.
As he lay there relaxing, the door to the room slowly opened, and early in the morning, Pu Sangzhi ca to find him herself!
Hearing her footsteps, Huo Feng imdiately looked up, his eyes filled with hope, as he looked toward the door, "Sangzhi?"
"You’re awake?"
Pu Sangzhi hadn’t expected Huo Feng to wake up so early, but this ant her timing was perfect.
She was dressed in a sports outfit, ready to go out for a morning run and, incidentally, to buy him breakfast.
She only wanted to check on him before leaving, to see how he was sleeping? If he had kicked off his blankets or sothing...
Who would have thought, he was already awake.
Pu Sangzhi walked to his bedside and naturally sat on the edge of his bed, asking him, "How do you feel? Still feel like throwing up? Do you need so water?"
At that mont, listening to her caring words, Huo Feng’s heart ward, blooming like a small flower.
He quickly turned on his side, one hand reaching out from under the covers, two fingers moving slowly across the blanket, like a little person, slowly moving towards Pu Sangzhi’s hand.
Pu Sangzhi saw through his intentions in an instant, the corners of her mouth lifted, and she directly extended her hand to him.
And so, Huo Feng took her hand, and she also held Huo Feng’s hand.
The mont their hands clasped tightly, their body heat seed to flow into each other’s palms, as if seeping into their skin and penetrating their bones.
The rift this incident had created between them seed as if it had vanished entirely.
At this mont, the two of them had returned to normal.
Huo Feng’s lips curled into his usual playful smile, but his eyes, gazing at Pu Sangzhi, were serious, the dark pupils sparkling with a radiant light...
After mulling over it for a long while, he finally asked her, "Did I apologize to you already?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and nodded, "Mmm."
Huo Feng then took a long, relieved breath, feeling extrely fortunate and said, "That’s good, that’s good..."
Pu Sangzhi slightly raised her eyebrows, "Good for what?"
Huo Feng chuckled, "Good that there’s still hope. I was worried you wouldn’t forgive , worried you’d be hard to appease..."
Pu Sangzhi pretended to be upset and thought about withdrawing her hand, saying, "Who’s hard to appease! I don’t want you to appease ..."
But Huo Feng wouldn’t let her pull her hand back, instead, he held onto it even tighter, pulling it towards himself, placing her hand on his face, gently rubbing it...
Pu Sangzhi looked disgusted, "Why are you doing this, it’s kind of gross..."
Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Don’t you know anything about romance? It’s a loving touch, don’t you know..."
Pu Sangzhi retorted, "Who wants to give you a loving touch, I don’t want to."
She was just soone who talked tough, always ’voicing disdain but true to the cause’...
Despite appearing haughty in front of Huo Feng, in reality, she had no courage to go through the ordeal of losing Huo Feng for a second ti.
So...
Pu Sangzhi kept her emotions inside, and her expressions confined to her heart.
Huo Feng gradually realized this, and so he was delighted and asked further, "Yesterday, did you co to find , or did I find my way to you here?"
Because he was too intoxicated, Huo Feng had little mory of the previous night.
He couldn’t rember whether it was Pu Sangzhi who had found him, or if he had gone to her place.
In his mind, there was a vague impression that he had seen Pu Sangzhi at the KTV.
There was also a half-mory of him waiting for her at the doorstep of Pu Sangzhi’s ho...
Perhaps because he had waited at her doorstep so many tis before, this impression had already left a profound visual in his mind...
Even though Huo Feng had never done such a thing before, he could still imagine what it would have looked like if he had.
Pu Sangzhi, seeing that he had completely forgotten about last night’s events, felt secretly pleased.
She thought: This way, he definitely wouldn’t rember that she had stolen a kiss from him last night.
If he didn’t rember, it was for the best. Then she could also pretend that it had never happened! Just let this incident pass...
She then responded to him, "It was who ca to the KTV to find you. It was also who woke you guys up one by one, telling each of you to go ho. Speaking of last night, I think I need to criticize you guys!"
Huo Feng’s eyebrows shot up in surprise: "Ah?"
Pu Sangzhi spoke earnestly, "How could you all drink yourselves into such a state? There were eleven of you, and not a single one of you stayed sober. What if you had just kept sleeping and sothing bad had happened? Don’t you know about alcohol poisoning? Don’t you know that drinking can be lethal? At the very least, shouldn’t one of you have stayed sober? Moreover, if it hadn’t been for Qianqian and I visiting yesterday, how would you guys have planned to get ho? Just wait until the KTV closed and then have the staff kick you out? This behavior is too irrational; you can’t do this again!"
Her tone was full of rebuke, all making reasonable sense.
Hearing her criticize him in such a manner, Huo Feng found it sowhat enjoyable. He couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips and humbly admitted, "Hmm... I know I was wrong."
Pu Sangzhi saw his obedient attitude and wondered if he had truly taken her words to heart.
Thinking it over, she sternly warned once more, "Anyway, you can’t do this sort of thing again. You need to drink in moderation, know your own limits, and not just cross them recklessly. Getting soone else blackout drunk isn’t sothing to be proud of. What if you ended up killing soone by accident?"
Huo Feng nodded hastily, "Yes, yes, yes... I was wrong. I definitely won’t drink too much in the future, definitely won’t lead them astray, and will definitely listen to my girlfriend! Even if I do drink too much, I’ll call you first in the future so you can co and collect my body. How about that? Does that work?"
Pu Sangzhi snorted lightly, "Who’s going to collect your body? You already gave enough trouble last night..."
Upon hearing this, Huo Feng laughed again: "How did I trouble you? Tell about it."
Pu Sangzhi certainly didn’t want to say, "It’s nothing."
Huo Feng frowned, "Co on, say it! It’s annoying when soone piques others’ curiosity and doesn’t follow through!"
Pu Sangzhi: "Then just dislike ."
Huo Feng chuckled again, "I would never dislike you, at most get annoyed with you."
As he spoke, Huo Feng shifted down a bit on the bed, changing his position to get closer to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi..."
Pu Sangzhi looked down at him: "What?"
Huo Feng said, "Originally, when I left school, I planned to buy a train ticket to a place where no one knew and never co back. Do you know why I changed my mind? Why I suddenly decided to stay and apologize to you?"
Pu Sangzhi was slightly startled upon hearing this, "Why?"
Actually, she had no idea that he had been planning to leave this place.
Suddenly hearing his original decision, Pu Sangzhi’s heart instantaneously filled with sadness and tenderness.
Huo Feng clutched her hand tightly, pressing her small hand against his chest, his lips curving into a broad smile, "Because while scrolling through my phone, I saw the life goal I had set for myself."
Pu Sangzhi asked, "What?"
Huo Feng answered, "To get into Tsinghua and marry you."
Those eight words again.
She hadn’t heard him say these words for the first ti, but every ti she did, they stirred sothing deep within her.
This ti was no different...
At the mont he spoke them, Pu Sangzhi’s heart felt as though it had been struck by a pebble, sending ripples across.
Her gaze towards Huo Feng beca serious, penetrating...
Huo Feng returned her gaze, his smile never fading, "I thought about it, and I realized that soone with a life goal shouldn’t give up because of a few scumbags. So, I changed my mind, and wanted to apologize to you. I even thought about dropping out of college and making sothing of myself outside for a few years before coming back to find you. To let you know that even if I wasn’t a good student, I could still excel. But then...I thought I couldn’t leave you."
Huo Feng was pretty honest, saying whatever was on his mind.
After hearing his heartfelt confession, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t upset with him.
Instead, at that mont, she too started to apologize, "I’m sorry."
Huo Feng: "You’re apologizing to ? Why?"
Pu Sangzhi said earnestly and seriously, "Because I was too harsh on you before and left you with such a bad impression. But now I want you to know that I don’t look down on you, and I don’t think you’re a bad student."
Huo Feng’s lips curved up, "Oh... I see."
He was quite happy.
In Pu Sangzhi’s eyes, he wasn’t a bad student.
Thinking about that made Huo Feng quite happy.
