Pu Sangzhi was initially annoyed when Huo Feng suddenly picked her up, but after hearing that he had gotten first place in their class, she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Really?"
Huo Feng’s lips split into a broad smile, revealing a row of neat white teeth, "Really, top of the class! He’s now our Class Seven’s legend! Your boyfriend has beco a legend, happy or not? Huh?"
As Huo Feng excitedly spoke, he shook her in his embrace, his eyes and brows filled with thrill.
Seeing him so happy, Pu Sangzhi’s lips curled upward joyfully, her smile blooming like a flower, "Congratulations!"
"Ah shi..."
With Pu Sangzhi in his arms, Huo Feng spun around several tis on the spot, his actions and deanor expressing his surging emotions!
Pu Sangzhi almost got dizzy from all the spinning and, startled, clung to his neck and let out a cry.
Around them, passing classmates cast their glances towards the two, and for a mont, various sounds of sighs, exclamations, and envy filled the air...
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao, seeing this, quickly stepped back and left together, not wanting to witness such a stimulating scene any longer!
After putting down Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng promptly took out his report card from his school uniform pocket.
Actually, it was the class ranking sheet...
Huo Feng had asked for it from Zheng Qiu right after class, with the sole purpose of breaking the good news to Pu Sangzhi.
"Look."
Huo Feng excitedly spread open the ranking list and handed it to Pu Sangzhi, "I’m the first in our class, not just the top of the class, but also 76th in the section. With this ranking, I could even get into Class One or Two, right?"
While saying this, Huo Feng’s smile was so wide his mouth barely closed, his teeth shining brightly the whole ti.
The lights in the school building weren’t very bright, but they shed their light on his spirited face, casting a deeper shadow of his striking features, his pupils sparkling with light.
Pu Sangzhi looked up at him, his smile so brilliant and contagious that it lifted the corners of her lips, revealing her own row of shiny white teeth, "You’re really happy, huh..."
"Of course I am," Huo Feng said with a laugh, "quick, take a look, quick..."
Only then did Pu Sangzhi lower her head to look at the report card.
First, she checked his sectional and class rankings, and then carefully examined the scores for all ten subjects.
He had greatly improved!
He perford steadily in sciences, which were still his strongest subjects.
This ti, his humanities grades had also gone up.
English, Chinese, history, political education, and others had all scored much higher than before. Especially English!
His English score had improved by more than 30 points compared to the end-of-year exam last year. If last year’s English was a drag, this year’s had beco an asset.
All the effort Pu Sangzhi had spent just a few weeks tutoring him on cloze tests and reading comprehension hadn’t been in vain...
"Really good."
Pu Sangzhi nodded without stinginess, offering praise, "This improvent is significant, you’re already stepping into the ranks of excellent students."
"Right?"
Huo Feng put his hands on his hips, his tone brimming with pride, "I told you I was a hidden gem! Betting on was the right choice! Don’t worry about investing too much at the start because the returns will be much greater later! You’ve got to treat well now, love , pamper , spoil . Otherwise, for soone as outstanding as , it would be a bargain for anyone who picks up!"
Pu Sangzhi made a "tsk" sound, "Just by getting one good result, your tail is already wagging to the sky."
"More than just once!"
Huo Feng couldn’t help raising his voice in retort, "I’ve always been improving! I climbed from the 600s in the section to 76th! Plus, I went from 50th in the class to first place! It’s a qualitative leap, enough for to look down on a bunch of trash from the clouds!"
Huo Feng was always one to boast grandly, always overly confident, always flamboyant and proud.
Pu Sangzhi was actually quite worried about his tendency to beco overly inflated with a bit of success, because that kind of attitude can easily lead to a major setback if one day his grades drop again, unable to withstand the blow and fall into discouragent.
Therefore, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t resist throwing so cold water on him at his proudest mont, "Don’t get too happy, this grade isn’t up in the clouds yet, and there’s still a long way to go to Tsinghua. The future path is even harder, the score gap within the top hundred isn’t big, and it won’t be easy to improve further, you need to keep working hard."
"Tsk!"
Huo Feng frowned upon hearing this and looped an arm around Pu Sangzhi’s neck, pinching her face with the other hand, "Why are you like this, huh? Be happier... I’ve made such great progress, shouldn’t you praise more?"
Pu Sangzhi pushed his hand away, speaking seriously, "I’m afraid that you’ll get too inflated and won’t be able to revert to a normal attitude."
Huo Feng argued back, "Nonsense, am I that kind of person? I, Huo Feng, am modest and respectful, honor my teachers, and am open to learning. I wouldn’t beco inflated even if a bag of potato chips did!"
Pu Sangzhi fixed him with a skeptical gaze.
"Hey!"
Then she was pointed out by Huo Feng, "Look at that unfriendly look in your eyes! You don’t trust again! How did you reply to on that WeChat mont last ti? I understand you, I don’t reject you, I don’t look down on you, and I trust you, besides, dear Feng..."
"Ah!"
Before Huo Feng could finish, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but interrupt him with a cry, suddenly feeling shy, her cheeks flushing red, "Don’t you dare continue!"
Huo Feng rembered the reply from WeChat monts before.
Recently, he always brought up that reply now and then, teasing her.
Pu Sangzhi didn’t understand why, although the words were hers and indeed her true feelings. But when Huo Feng said them, it made her feel very strange!
There’s always a kind of hair-raising, sickening feeling...
Huo Feng paused for a while...
Seeing Pu Sangzhi had cald down, he took a life-threatening risk and tentatively spoke, "May I ask, even though you know I am..."
"Ah!"
Pu Sangzhi scread again, "Don’t say it!"
Huo Feng fell silent for a few seconds.
A few seconds later, tempting fate again, he began, "Even though you know I am a withered mulberry leaf, can you keep until..."
"Hey!"
Pu Sangzhi pounced on him, directly covering his mouth with her hand. By then, her little face was as red as a Snake Fruit on Christmas night, and her delicate brows were furrowed in urgency, "I’ll be angry if you say it again!"
Huo Feng’s eyebrows twitched towards her a couple of tis, his eyes playful, as if to say ’Wow, I’ve found your weakness, oh, this is interesting!’...
"Hmph..."
Letting go, Pu Sangzhi glared at him and turned around huffily, "Let’s go, back to the dorm."
Huo Feng crumpled the report card into a ball and stuffed it into his school uniform pockets, continuing to smile broadly as he followed behind her.
While Pu Sangzhi wasn’t paying attention, he quickly continued whispering in her ear: "Can you keep until the spring flowers bloom!"
"Hey!"
Unable to hold back, Pu Sangzhi called out to him, helplessly tolerant of his cheekiness, "Fine, have it your way."
"Sangzhi~"
Huo Feng followed her joyfully, and only then did they start walking, slowly making their way back to the girls’ dorm.
"Sangzhi, oh~ Sangzhi~ Sang Sang~"
Along the way, Huo Feng, with a light step, called out to her in various tunes, "My little withered Sangzhi~ shouldn’t you rember sothing?"
Pu Sangzhi, hands in her pockets too, walked at an unhurried pace, "The June exams? I rember them all right."
"Who’s talking about that! A date, a date!"
Huo Feng exclaid in exasperation, speechless with her!
Just finished midterms, and her mind is only full of exam stuff!
Doesn’t her life hold anything more aningful besides studying and tests?
"Oh..."
Pu Sangzhi responded with an unchanging expression, "Had you not ntioned it, I really wouldn’t have recalled."
"Loser!"
Huo Feng shot her a contemptuous look, "How can you forget such things! Are you a fish? Even fish have longer mories than you!"
Pu Sangzhi rolled her eyes as well, "..."
Huo Feng had been growing bolder lately...
His attitude towards her was becoming more and more outrageous, completely lawless!
Pu Sangzhi thought: Let him owe for now; once I beco his official girlfriend in the future, I’ll definitely have to teach him a lesson! I’ll settle the scores for all those ridiculous nicknas he’s given over the years!
All of a sudden, Huo Feng sighed longingly and said happily, "Ah, the hardship I endure. I barely finish the midterms, and then I have to start planning our second date. Dates are pretty troubleso, yup, writing plans, checking routes, picking out clothes, dressing up... After so much effort and energy put in, not even sure if I’ll get a kiss in return. Ah, if only I could get a spontaneous kiss from soone during this second date, it wouldn’t feel like all this elaborate preparation was in vain!"
Pu Sangzhi gave him a chilling sidelong glance, "You don’t need to prepare, I’ll plan the second date."
Hearing this, Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "You?!"
Pu Sangzhi said calmly, "I’ll arrange it this ti, let’s say this Sunday. You can’t have any objections."
Huo Feng "coughed," "There’s no need for you to trouble yourself with such botherso matters! I can do it very well!"
As if...
How can such a solemn occasion as a date be entrusted to Pu Sangzhi! That’s just asking for disaster!
Huo Feng was not going to allow her to ddle!
Pu Sangzhi refused, "To be fair, I’ll do it this ti."
Huo Feng: "No need for fairness, I’m the man, I can take the loss! I’ll do it!"
Pu Sangzhi: "I can’t let you gain an advantage, I’ll prepare."
Huo Feng: "..."
Oh no...
She was actually so resolute!
This is not good at all!
