Ultimately, Pu Sangzhi did not show any intention of considering Huo Feng’s advice.
About the Sunday date, Huo Feng was still particularly uneasy!
...
In the blink of an eye, it beca the Friday family hocoming day.
As usual, Huo Feng drove her ho, and as ti grew tighter, he asked about the date more frequently.
On the way ho, he almost never stopped talking about it.
But Pu Sangzhi seed to have gotten used to his relentless questioning and had learned to deal with him without batting an eyelid.
Therefore, on the way, Pu Sangzhi did not reveal a single detail about the date to him.
After arriving ho, Chen Huifen was still not back from the ancestral temple, leaving Pu Sangzhi all alone at ho.
Huo Feng voluntarily offered to stay and keep her company! Staying overnight was also not a problem!
Of course, Pu Sangzhi would not allow him to stay overnight.
She proposed to him, "You can stay if you like. But since you’re staying, let’s not waste the evening. I’ll tutor you tonight."
With that one sentence, Huo Feng clutched his chest in fright and flared his nostrils, "How inhumane! It’s only a little bit of ti on Friday night, and you won’t even let rest!"
Pu Sangzhi looked at him sternly and said directly, "Whenever I see you, I feel the need to tutor you, all because your grades are not good enough. The day I see you and don’t think about tutoring will be the day your grades satisfy ."
Huo Feng, infuriated, pulled out a report card that he had been keeping in his school uniform pocket and flaunted it in front of her. "Hey, top of the class, huh, ranked 76th, aren’t these grades good enough? Greed knows no bounds!"
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him lightly, "You actually carry around your report card..."
Huo Feng lifted his head, speaking matter-of-factly, "What’s wrong with that! It’s rare to score this well; I can boast about this report card for a whole year. Let tell you, next week is my grandfather’s birthday, and I’m still planning to use this to raise so money!"
Pu Sangzhi grasped the main point of his words, "Your grandfather’s birthday? When? Are you going to skip half a day of tutoring again?"
Naturally, Huo Feng would prefer to skip if he could!
So, he responded with a cheerful smile, "Yeah, sorry, always missing class for personal reasons. But my grandfather’s birthday is really important! Everyone in the family must attend, and the key is he gives money generously! When he does give money, it’s usually in the four figures, so just give a half day off, let earn a four-figure sum, and we can spend lavishly together afterward, how about that?"
Pu Sangzhi sighed, "No other choice. Since you’re going to skip next week anyway, you might as well stay tonight for tutoring. We need to make up for the ti you’ll miss next week."
"Oh no! Terrible!"
Huo Feng suddenly held up a finger, "I just rembered my maternal grandfather told to co ho early today! I ranked first, and he has invited guests, arranged a feast, and is waiting for to co ho to celebrate! Sangzhi, co with to my maternal grandfather’s place for the feast!"
Huo Feng exerted his utmost effort to escape Pu Sangzhi’s diabolical tutoring thoughts!
Having just finished the imnsely stressful mid-term exams, Huo Feng really wanted to relax for a whole week! He wanted to set aside anything related to studies or tuition!
Ah...
Dream on.
Given his situation, managing to relax for one evening was already quite lucky!
Huo Feng was determined to fight for his Friday night off, not allowing the ruthless Pu Sangzhi to fill his ti with tutoring!
Pu Sangzhi refused, "I won’t go, I don’t like crowded places."
Huo Feng suddenly gazed at her worriedly, "Sangzhi, aren’t you coming with to my maternal grandfather’s house? Aren’t you afraid to be alone at ho?"
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "There’s nothing to be afraid of. You should hurry back then, don’t waste your ti here."
Huo Feng drew out her na, "Sangzhi~"
Pu Sangzhi, "Hmm."
Huo Feng tightly grasped her hand, enclosing it within his, "Sangzhi, you must believe I’m not making excuses to avoid tutoring, I really have things to do!"
Pu Sangzhi slightly curled the corners of her mouth and thought to herself, Doesn’t saying this show that you’re obviously making excuses?
Really...
However, she did not expose Huo Feng’s excuse this ti; she just nodded slightly, "Got it, you should hurry back then, your maternal grandfather is waiting for you."
Huo Feng suddenly bent down, bringing his face close to hers, "Give a farewell kiss! Consider it a gift for my latest top rank in class. You haven’t rewarded for that yet."
Pu Sangzhi quickly pulled back her head, creating distance between them, "Your study improvent isn’t for ..."
Huo Feng swayed, "Co on, give a rewarding kiss, don’t be so stingy!"
Pu Sangzhi touched his face with her finger, and the mont her fingertip touched his skin, a warm feeling slightly rose in her heart, an indescribable sensation erged from the depths of her heart...
"Save it for later."
Pu Sangzhi said, "I’ll make it up to you slowly later. Right now, your grades aren’t stunning enough for , so we’ll talk about it in the future."
Pu Sangzhi originally intended to outright refuse him, wanting to say that his improvent in academics had nothing to do with her and that he had no right to ask her for gifts.
But for so reason, what ca out of her mouth was sothing entirely different.
Saying sothing about letting him keep it for now...
After saying this, Pu Sangzhi felt in her heart that she was too kind.
Really, she was too kind...
Now she couldn’t even bring herself to straightforwardly and decisively refuse Huo Feng, but rather, she had to beat around the bush with him.
Huo Feng, unhappy, puffed up his cheeks, "Fine, you just look down on my current grades! You people standing in the cosmos just look down on us who are in the clouds. Just like we who stand in the clouds look down on those running below. Forget it, forget it, when I rank second in our grade and surpass Chen Ruixiang, see what excuse you’ll have then for not rewarding ! At that ti, I definitely want a kiss as a reward!"
Pu Sangzhi scoffed, "Gross!"
Huo Feng: "Sangzhi, about that date on Sunday..."
Pu Sangzhi hurriedly pushed against his chest, "Alright, you should head back now, your grandfather is waiting for you at ho!"
Huo Feng was pushed towards the door, but he couldn’t help turning back to say, "About that date on Sunday, just see what you can do!"
Pu Sangzhi responded noncommittally, "Got it, I’ll plan it well, hurry back ho."
Huo Feng: "At least tell what clothes to wear! It’s rare for us to have a date, we must wear couple outfits! You get that, couple outfits?"
Pu Sangzhi: "Alright alright, I got it!"
Thus, Huo Feng was pushed by Pu Sangzhi all the way to the front door.
Before leaving, Huo Feng didn’t forget to warn her, "Plan carefully, it shouldn’t be related to studying! And don’t skimp for , go wherever you want, I have plenty of money!"
Pu Sangzhi: "Got it!"
...
After Huo Feng left, Pu Sangzhi made herself a bowl of noodles, quickly finished the things she had to do for the evening, and then went early to her room, locked the door, sat by the desk, and began to work on the gift for Huo Feng.
She could tell that deep down Huo Feng harbored a playful heart and still was not enthusiastic about studying.
Therefore, she had used tutoring as a way to scare him off, thereby reserving so ti to prepare his gift.
Sunday date, and now it was already Friday, yet she hadn’t prepared the gift.
Pu Sangzhi had already thought of what to prepare.
She planned to draw a ten-page sketchbook capturing the ten handsost monts of Huo Feng as she saw him in her heart and give it to him on Sunday.
Pu Sangzhi believed that the most practical gifts were either what a person needed or sothing morable.
That’s why she had previously given him a set of textbooks.
And why she would painstakingly give him a set of small items featuring the Chinese Zodiac.
Just like now, she was preparing to create a sketchbook for him.
This item could be kept for a very long ti.
Even as ti passed, as long as they stuck together, it would stand as a testant to their youth.
The dim yellow lamp shone on the creamy drawing paper and also on Pu Sangzhi’s serious little face, while her pencil rubbed against the paper, producing a rustling sound.
Before long, she had sketched an outline.
The sketch depicted Huo Feng playing basketball...
Since this was a gift for soone, it couldn’t be as abstract as before.
This ti, Pu Sangzhi earnestly drew the facial features in a cartoon style, simple and nice-looking.
Single eyelids, phoenix eyes, a pointed chin, thin lips, a high nose bridge, and a pair of strikingly strong eyebrows... These were Huo Feng’s characteristics.
One drawing, one sentint, with a ssage attached, took her two hours to complete; it was her heartfelt effort...
So, Pu Sangzhi stayed up until 1 AM drawing, and she had completed only three artworks.
However, she believed that Huo Feng would surely like her gift and would definitely keep it safe.
When it was 1 AM and ti to pack up, Pu Sangzhi stretched her arms wide...
"Crap..."
That’s when she rembered, she still hadn’t decided where to go for their date!
