After the evening self-study session ended, Zheng Qiu went to watch the two programs arranged by Huo Feng.
True to Huo Feng’s words, they were flawless—Zheng Qiu was both shocked and pleased by this.
The next day, the campus burst into the lively Red May Cultural Festival.
The event was to take place at 7:30 p.m., so after classes ended at 4:30 p.m., students involved in performances from various classes began their preparations.
Since each class had a choir performance, almost all the students had to put on light makeup. Besides that, those participating in additional performances needed heavy stage makeup.
All in all, the campus was abuzz during those few hours, resembling the festive chaos of a holiday.
The event was held in the large campus auditorium, which encompassed a stage, seating for the audience, and backstage areas.
By 6:30 p.m., the Student Union mbers who had signed up as staff had already arrived at the auditorium to kickstart the preparations.
Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie, two hosts for the evening, were also backstage, dressed in evening gowns and suits, getting their makeup done by professional makeup artists.
As the male and female hosts, their image was crucial for the evening, so their appearance and makeup had to be of high quality.
At 7:00 p.m., students from various classes started arriving from different paths across the campus, dressed in their class choir outfits, with thirty minutes remaining until the event began.
The auditorium slowly filled with noise as Student Union mbers directed each class to their seats, sequentially ushering them in and distributing bread and water to everyone.
At this ti, Huo Feng and his ten followers also arrived in the auditorium lobby, dressed in their choir outfits of Zhongshan suits.
As they were busy looking for their seats, suddenly, Student Union worker Han Feiyi rushed towards them and volunteered, "Let show you to your class’s seats."
Huo Feng and his brothers were taken aback. Huo Feng was about to make a sarcastic remark to Han Feiyi, but she had already turned away, showing no interest in further conversation!
"Fatty, walk ahead of ."
Thus, Huo Feng had Pan Bo walk in front of him, trying to distance himself from Han Feiyi.
Soon, Han Feiyi led them to their class, where the 11 of them sat in a row on a long bench.
"I’ll go get you guys so cake," Han Feiyi said eagerly.
Having said that, she walked away, displaying a deanor that seed both showy yet not wanting to overdo it.
Watching her, Pan Bo at Huo Feng’s side couldn’t help but make a "tsk tsk" noise and said, "Why does she even bother? I treat her like a Princess, and she doesn’t want it; instead, she chooses to be annoying."
Huo Feng, scrolling through his phone, nodded in agreent and muttered to himself, "I need to find my Sangzhi, let her send a beautiful photo."
While he was saying this, suddenly, Lin Yuhao next to Huo Feng handed his phone over, "No need to look, it’s already been posted in the school QQ group."
"Hmm?"
Huo Feng’s gaze shifted to Lin Yuhao’s phone screen.
On Lin Yuhao’s screen was a photo of Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie with scripts, likely leaked from backstage.
It wasn’t a selfie; it was evident that another student had casually taken the shot, capturing Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie smiling at each other.
Such masterful candid photography! It even gave off the vibe of a wedding photo shoot!
In the photo, Pu Sangzhi was dressed in an evening gown, her hair done up elegantly, with heavy, exquisite makeup. Zhao Jiajie, on the other hand, was in a suit, his hair neatly combed, looking every bit the slick handso young man.
At that mont, Huo Feng’s expression froze, a discomfort sweeping from his head down to his feet, causing a blockage at his chest!
He had always known that Pu Sangzhi was the female host, but he had never wanted to know who the male host was.
Now, to suddenly discover that the male host was Zhao Jiajie, the fresh at who had been likely to compete with him for the title of campus hottie!
Huo Feng instantly felt bitter!
"Hey, hey, check this out, Brother Feng..."
Pan Bo on the other side also noticed the photo posted in the school QQ group and passed his phone to Huo Feng.
However, Pan Bo’s screen wasn’t showing an enlarged photo, it displayed the QQ group chat interface.
Huo Feng clearly saw in the group, rows of clueless students stirring up trouble, randomly pairing them as a couple.
The entire row of chat ssages read:
’This year’s male and female hosts look so well-matched!’
’Isn’t that the campus belle Pu Sangzhi? She really matches well with anyone!’
’Darn, I feel like I might switch my couple support. They look so harmonious together!’
’Has Huo Feng been cuckolded?’
’...’
Who knew which heartless student had sent that "Has Huo Feng been cuckolded?" but it was like a stab to Huo Feng out of nowhere!
"Ah..."
Huo Feng patted his chest, his face twisted in discomfort as he asked Pan Bo, "Fatty, am I wearing a green hat?"
"Hey, Brother Feng. If you don’t wear a little green, you won’t get through life!"
Pan Bo said the joke bluntly, little did he know, Huo Feng took it to heart...
"Ah Shi... this woman Pu Sangzhi..."
Huo Feng imdiately felt upset, his attention completely drifted from the evening event, and he was tempted to rush backstage to check.
But!
Huo Feng held back.
Because he thought that he should give Pu Sangzhi a chance to explain, and moreover, he planned to act angry when she ca to explain, to make her feel it!
That way, Pu Sangzhi would realize how deeply her actions had hurt Huo Feng’s fragile glass heart!
"Hey, did you see the photo of Pu Sangzhi sent in the group chat?"
At this mont, the girls sitting in front of Huo Feng seed to have also noticed this, several of them chattering with their phones in hand.
"I saw it, haha. I think their chat is more interesting than the photo. Look at Pu Sangzhi’s expression, it looks like our class’s Huo Feng is dood."
However, those sitting in front of Huo Feng were still the girls from his class. Chatting lively, they seed not to notice that Huo Feng and others were sitting right behind them...
"Honestly, I always felt that Pu Sangzhi likes to associate with good students, not really appreciating us from the parallel class. Has she ever been this happy with Huo Feng?"
"Not really! It always seed like Huo Feng was trailing behind her like a puppy~"
"That’s what I’m saying, her expression changes the mont she interacts with a good student."
"..."
The few girls kept gossiping about such matters, while Huo Feng didn’t intervene, listening calmly with a stern expression.
Just then, Han Feiyi, carrying a big bag of water and cake, ca over, interrupting their conversation, "Huo Feng, here are the cake and water."
Han Feiyi seed to deliberately emphasize ’Huo Feng,’ causing a montary stiffness in the girls gossiping in the front, who turned back in fright, eting Huo Feng’s murderous glare.
"Boom."
Huo Feng kicked their bench aggressively, his angry expression fiery enough to scorch, prompting the girls to stand up and apologize, "Sorry, sorry..."
After apologizing, the girls hurriedly left their seats to find another spot to sit down.
"Huo Feng, here are the cake and water." Han Feiyi observed Huo Feng’s face, seizing the mont to continue offering her help.
However, Huo Feng still ignored her, suddenly standing up, leaving a ssage for his brothers: "I need to get so fresh air, it’s suffocating here."
Pan Bo and the others showed understanding.
While understanding, Pan Bo took the initiative to grab the cake and water from Han Feiyi’s hands, saying nonchalantly: "Give it to then, trash bin."
Han Feiyi glared at him. "Who are you calling trash bin?"
Pan Bo shrugged: "I ant, these are the things Brother Feng wants to throw in the trash bin. Isn’t it fitting that I picked them up?"
Han Feiyi took a deep breath, holding back the urge to retort, and turned away, leaving angrily.
...
Eventually, Huo Feng, who had left his seat, still went backstage to look for Pu Sangzhi with a sour heart.
By then, it was twenty-five past seven, and the opening dance of the cultural performance had already begun its preparations.
Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie were also behind the stage curtain, holding scripts, getting ready to go on stage...
Not far behind her, Huo Feng stood in a spot backstage, his gaze fixed attentively on her back.
He was very quiet, not going up to disturb her, just silently watching her dressed in a light blue chiffon evening gown.
Such a lovely back, such a beautiful figure, such an outstanding woman...
Huo Feng’s hands were in his pockets as he sighed lightly, thinking to himself: Sangzhi’s excellence is indeed impossible to hide. Who could give him a sense of security?
As he was thinking this, suddenly, Pu Sangzhi turned around, noticing Huo Feng!
At the mont their eyes t, Pu Sangzhi smiled lightly at him, waving.
Her smile seed contagious, instantly driving away the gloomy mood in Huo Feng’s heart, making him smile along with her...
In that instant, the unease in his heart was swept away by her smile, the so-called sense of security seemingly arriving with her gentle and lovely smile, filling the fear in his heart.
At that mont, Huo Feng thought again: He should be confident, after all, Pu Sangzhi likes him!
