"Hey, you two, stop painting."
A school leader halted Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian. "You’re painting so carelessly, the wall colors aren’t even matching."
It was only after the school leader called out to them that Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian stopped their motions.
Huo Feng turned around with the white paint in hand, and at that mont, Huo Mingshan and Huo Feng exchanged a glance.
For the first ti, the look in the eyes of the father and son was the sa, and so were the concerns in their hearts.
They were both worried about Pu Sangzhi, both afraid that her studies would be affected by this incident!
"Which class are you students from?"
The school leader asked Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian, "Do you have too much free ti?"
Huo Feng, carrying the paint, stepped forward and answered honestly, "Teacher, don’t you think the wall looks terrible sprayed like this? First, I am doing this voluntarily to protect the school’s reputation. Second, even if the colors I paint are ugly, they are still better than leaving these words here. Third, I’m from senior year 2, class 7, Huo Feng."
"You..."
The school leader was about to say sothing but after thinking through Huo Feng’s words, he seed to find nothing to refute!
Principal Han looked at the white wall sprayed with red paint, feeling a mix of emotions inside!
Principal Han also glanced at Huo Mingshan to see his attitude and what he might say.
After all, this was ultimately an issue involving a student from Huo Mingshan’s class.
Huo Mingshan ought to explain his student’s situation.
"I’ll ask Sangzhi when I get back."
That was all Huo Mingshan could initially reply to the leader, but after he finished, he added, "But I believe in Sangzhi’s character; this definitely has to do with her family situation, she must be the victim."
"She’s a student; she definitely wouldn’t provoke such animosity. Those who would do this kind of thing, they’re societal trash," Principal Han also said.
However, after these words, Principal Han’s next sentence was rather unsympathetic, "But no matter what, it’s indeed her who has affected the school’s reputation, causing trouble for us. You must handle this matter properly. Go back and have a good talk with her first!"
"Okay, I’ll go find her in a bit," Huo Mingshan nodded.
At this mont, Principal Han looked at Huo Feng with a hint of appreciation and admiration in his eyes, "You go ahead and paint over this wall. Whether the color is even or not doesn’t really matter, I have a feeling there will be a second round."
That comnt from Principal Han turned out to be prophetic...
Such events tend to occur more than once: if there’s a first, there will be a second, and if there’s a second, there will be a third; it’s impossible for it to only happen one ti.
As long as Pu Sangzhi is still attending classes at this school, as long as the issues with her family are not resolved, those troubleso people are sure to co back for more.
At this mont, Principal Han was putting pressure on Huo Mingshan, but at the sa ti, he himself wasn’t quite sure how to deal with the situation.
This matter was very thorny indeed...
After exchanging a few words, the school leaders then moved away in a group.
Leaving Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian behind, they continued to work with the white paint, persisting in their efforts...
However, Huo Feng was still very uneasy inside!
At this mont, he especially wanted to talk to Huo Mingshan about what to do?
As a child, as a minor, as a high school student, Huo Feng could not handle this situation.
Sotis he had to admit that his abilities were limited.
Such matters could only be handled by adults.
Huo Feng just hoped they wouldn’t deal with it carelessly and just dispose of Pu Sangzhi in any random manner.
That would be unfair to Sangzhi.
...
The incident of Pu Sangzhi owing money and having red paint splashed on her spread quickly across the campus.
In less than an hour, not only did the freshn know, but also all the sophomores!
The photo had circulated through various WeChat groups, and as it passed from one person to ten and then to a hundred, it naturally also reached Sangzhi’s class group.
When her class received this photo, it blew up imdiately!
It was around 6:10 in the evening at that ti.
Pu Sangzhi had already arrived in class, sitting peacefully waiting for the evening self-study to start.
Little did she know, a ssage suddenly erupted in the WeChat group.
Pu Sangzhi naturally was not the last person to know about it.
When her deskmate learned of the incident, she told her imdiately; then, opening the WeChat group, Sangzhi also saw the photo...
She saw the picture with red paint spelling out the words that she owed money and hadn’t paid it back.
This thod, they had used it back in Shanghai!
At that ti, they kept coming to Pu Sangzhi’s school to harass her and others, causing her to eventually have no choice but to transfer, to leave...
Latterly, to evade them, Pu Sangzhi transferred schools frequently, and finally managed to barely complete her studies and take the middle school exam.
Who would have thought that this thod would now be applied here.
Pu Sangzhi was once again facing the sa situation as she had back then!
Everything that had happened in Shanghai seed to be replaying itself one by one.
Back in Shanghai, they had disturbed her ho, bullied her and her mother, sold the only valuable thing they had in their house, and almost tried to sell Pu Sangzhi off...
Now here, they had also caused trouble at her ho, and had almost taken her grandmother’s property deed to sell it. Thankfully, Huo Feng had fought for her with his life.
Back in Shanghai, they would make a scene at Pu Sangzhi’s school every day, until every classmate knew about her family’s debt, and in the end, the school had to deal with her privately...
Here, they were still playing out the sa old acts.
When Pu Sangzhi saw that photo, her heart felt a cool breeze sweep through, suddenly sinking to the bottom of the sea.
She suddenly had a feeling that she might not be able to stay here for long either.
But she didn’t want to leave this school, she didn’t want to leave her classmates here.
The classmates here were all very kind, at least kinder than those in Shanghai.
Here, no one despised her, no one cared whether she was poor...
Here, there was also Huo Feng...
Every ti Pu Sangzhi thought of Huo Feng, her heart would ache terribly!
She gently touched her chest with her small hand, took a deep breath, and exhaled deeply, quickly stabilizing her emotions, not allowing herself to fall apart...
"Sangzhi, are you okay?"
Her deskmate Yao ii was particularly worried about Pu Sangzhi’s anxious appearance, and she asked tentatively, "It’s okay, none of us mind those things. Don’t be scared, okay? Don’t be scared..."
Yao ii gently patted Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, cautiously soothing her, fearing that Pu Sangzhi couldn’t withstand the shock, what if she died suddenly?
Pu Sangzhi’s mood imdiately worsened...
She turned to look at Yao ii, only glancing at her, not knowing what to say to Yao ii.
"Oh, don’t worry. I heard that Huo Feng has gone with a can of white paint to cover the walls!"
Fearing Pu Sangzhi would be too saddened, Yao ii gently patted her on the back, "It’s posted in the group chat; Huo Feng is protecting you. Oh, it’s nothing! These are all trivial matters!"
Yao ii didn’t really know what was going on, how things really were.
But what she did know was that she didn’t want to see Pu Sangzhi suffer.
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, she should have been strong, but sohow, with soone comforting her, she felt wronged...
Her eyes reddened quietly, and because she didn’t want to cry, she quickly took a deep breath, turned her head, and faced the wall.
The whole class was nervously watching Pu Sangzhi’s reaction.
Almost everyone knew about the incident of Pu Sangzhi’s na being written on the school walls...
However, the classmates didn’t discuss Pu Sangzhi in whispers, just quietly observed her reaction.
Seeing that Pu Sangzhi was in a bad mood, looking so sorrowful, the classmates were even more silent! They absolutely abstained from ntioning the matter!
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were sitting in another part of the classroom, likewise paying special attention to Pu Sangzhi!
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were worried about Pu Sangzhi; they also wanted to comfort her.
But they knew that right now they couldn’t give Pu Sangzhi too much attention.
Otherwise, it would put too much pressure on her.
After evening self-study classes began, Huo Mingshan ca to the classroom and quietly called Pu Sangzhi out.
Huo Mingshan had specifically chosen after evening self-study to find her, so there would be fewer prying eyes, and it was better for protecting Pu Sangzhi’s privacy.
Huo Mingshan took Pu Sangzhi to a corner outside the classroom, instead of calling her to the class teacher’s office.
Because there were many teachers in the teacher’s office tonight, Huo Mingshan couldn’t ask her in front of other teachers.
Thus, in that corner, Pu Sangzhi told Huo Mingshan about everything that had happened during the sumr break.
She also told him about how Huo Feng had protected her and her mother when those debt collectors ca to make trouble at her ho and how he had been beaten black and blue by those people...
Upon hearing this news, Huo Mingshan was completely shocked!
