Similarly, when the twins saw warnings about them plastered on all the school bulletin boards, they were so embarrassed they couldn’t even lift their heads!
And because of this, they clashed with Huo Feng again.
There would be more trouble in the future.
...
After the day’s classes ended, Huo Feng waited at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory with his suitcase for Pu Sangzhi, ready to head to the airport together and go ho.
Their flight was at midnight, so there was still plenty of ti.
Pulling their suitcases, they first went to the cafeteria for dinner. Before leaving school, Pu Sangzhi took Huo Feng to Ye Xi’s dorm room to see the pregnant cat.
Ye Xi wasn’t in the dorm, but he’d made a copy of the key for Pu Sangzhi so that she could co over anyti.
Before the holiday began, Pu Sangzhi was worried about the mother cat, so she waited for Huo Feng to co with her to check on it.
This was their first ti entering Ye Xi’s dorm room and also their first ti seeing the accommodation provided for doctoral students.
A single room with a private bathroom and a balcony—the room was clean and tidy. Everything, from the bed to the items on the desk, was ticulously arranged, truly reflecting Ye Xi’s neat and scholarly character.
In one corner of the room, there was a small cat nest with a soft sweater inside for warmth.
When Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng arrived in the room, the mother cat was sleeping comfortably, eyes closed.
Pu Sangzhi squatted by the cat nest and her slight noise woke up the ginger cat with a "ow~"
The ginger cat let out a sound, turned its fluffy little head, and blinked its brown eyes at Pu Sangzhi.
"Hello there, little kitty..."
Pu Sangzhi’s face instantly filled with tenderness as she reached out her hand to stroke the ginger cat’s head. The cat didn’t flee or dodge, closing its eyes and enjoying her caress.
"You’re so good~"
Pu Sangzhi petted the ginger cat, the corners of her mouth lifted in a contented smile.
At that mont, Huo Feng, having nothing better to do, silently looked around Ye Xi’s room with a touch of envy in his heart.
They were all students, but just because he was a few years older, he got to live in such a nice dorm room...
Then looking at himself—not only did he have to live in a four-person dormitory, he also had to interact with those bizarre twins. It was just too pitiful.
"Sigh..."
Huo Feng couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Hearing the sigh, Pu Sangzhi asked him, "Hey, why the sudden sigh?"
"I’m just envious of others," replied Huo Feng.
With his hands on his hips, Huo Feng walked around the room, touching this and that. He really liked the space.
"It’d be nice if undergrads could also live in this kind of dormitory," lanted Huo Feng. "Too bad, I’m not into gambling. Even the idea of graduate school feels like a waste of ti to . At this age, I should be focusing on making money. What’s the use of all those years of study..."
Huo Feng didn’t have high aspirations for academic credentials; he was more interested in money.
So, his words sounded sowhat defeatist.
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him and then turned back to continue petting the cat. "To each their own, right? You want to enter society early and make money, that’s not wrong. Brother Ye Xi is also right for pursuing his PhD; he said compared to working for money, he prefers research and might follow that path. That’s why he keeps studying."
"Civil Engineering, a career that seems not to have a good outlook, it makes sense to follow research," said Huo Feng.
Huo Feng walked over to Ye Xi’s desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down. His restless hand touched and poked at the architectural models on Ye Xi’s desk as he continued, "With popular fields like computer science, I should be out earning money sooner. At most, I’ll pursue masters and then go make money. Actually, I don’t even want to study for a masters; I just want to earn money."
"That’s good, then you work hard to earn money," said Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi poured so cat food into a bowl and pushed it towards the ginger cat. "As long as the money you earn is enough to spend, even if Civil Engineering becos more declined, I won’t starve to death."
Huo Feng, with his back to her, chuckled and said, "How could I let you starve to death? At the very least, I’d have to let your luxury goods kill you."
Pu Sangzhi then retorted, "I have absolutely no interest in luxury goods. Don’t you dare send such things in the future... If you really do make it big later on, buy a few more properties. If you beco really wealthy, go buy so land—I have a lot of things I want to design. If only I could design my own Royal Garden..."
"Wow..."
Huo Feng let out an exasperated sigh. "No wonder you don’t want luxury goods, asking for sothing so extravagant right out of the gate. Royal Garden, do I need to earn billions before I et the standard of your dreams?"
"Haha..."
Pu Sangzhi was amused by his words.
The atmosphere between them was pleasant; they chatted easily and were in high spirits.
But just at that mont, Huo Feng, unable to resist his mischievous impulse, opened a drawer and slyly found an old diary.
It was very retro... with an image of a child in a Young Pioneer scarf saluting on the cover.
Huo Feng suddenly realized that he might have stumbled upon Ye Xi’s private journal!
Driven by an excessive curiosity, Huo Feng couldn’t stop himself from reaching out and taking the notebook from the drawer.
Just as he did, Pu Sangzhi suddenly stood up behind him, and the sound of her footsteps made Huo Feng tense up, alert!
He instinctively closed the drawer, hiding his unease...
"I’m going to the toilet; we can leave after I co back," said Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi, utterly oblivious to Huo Feng’s strangeness, calmly walked past him and entered the bathroom.
Watching her disappear from view, Huo Feng quickly pulled the drawer open, extracted the old notebook and rapidly flipped through it, peeking inside...
Indeed!
This is extrely private!
It’s basically Ye Xi’s diary from childhood to adulthood!
Huo Feng knew it wasn’t right to pry into soone else’s privacy, but he just wanted to know what that bastard Ye Xi was thinking inside?
He was particularly eager to find out if bastard Ye Xi still harbored any foolish fantasies about Sangzhi!
With this in mind, Huo Feng swiftly skimd through Ye Xi’s diary...
He read the first two pages, which were the naive entries from Ye Xi’s elentary school days.
Impatient, he quickly flipped towards the back, coming across the diaries Ye Xi wrote in middle school...
Sotis, you really get what you’re afraid of!
What Huo Feng feared the most was that Ye Xi had feelings for Sangzhi, and sure enough, he saw it written in one of Ye Xi’s diary entries...
[Today, little sister Sangzhi got drunk. She suddenly confessed in front of Uncle that she liked and wanted to marry . She said it many tis, more earnestly with each repeat, not sounding at all like drunken ramblings.
Uncle was quite embarrassed at the ti, Auntie told not to take it seriously. My sister-in-law was watching the show on the side, making jokes about ...
They all thought I was embarrassed, but actually, I was happy.
I know she’s still young, and I’m not sure if she ans what she says right now.
But , I listened very seriously...
So ti ago, I even received two love letters. I guess girls mature early...
When those girls do this, I feel that they are shallow, lacking aningful things to do in their lives.
However, when Sangzhi does this, I suddenly find that it’s nice that girls mature early.
Does this an that I had her reserved since she was little?
It’s nice.
I like her too.
Although she’s still young. ]
Hmm...
That’s the end of it.
After reading that diary entry, Huo Feng’s state of mind... was about to explode!
He took a deep breath, his fingers gripping the notebook were secretly exerting force, almost wanting to tear the notebook to shreds!
But his rationality managed to restrain the impulsive emotions!
Huo Feng knew he was very angry, knew there was a fire burning inside him, but again couldn’t help but perversely continue flipping through...
And he kept flipping to the back, skipping over a lot of the middle school content, straight to the last page.
Not bad...
Ye Xi, this person of delicate sensibilities, actually managed to finish a whole notebook!
And this last entry wasn’t from the recent days; it looked like it was from a few years back.
"Whoosh—"
The sound of flushing the toilet ca from the bathroom.
Huo Feng knew that Pu Sangzhi was about to co out!
He quickly skimd through the last entry of Ye Xi’s diary, then swiftly put the notebook back in the drawer and closed it...
This thief-like behavior not only made him nervous but also added to the anger in his heart!
Because before Pu Sangzhi ca out of the bathroom, Huo Feng’s mind had involuntarily sifted through the last entry in Ye Xi’s diary!
He rembered every word, every sentence very clearly!
The entry was short and went like this:
[Returned from Shanghai.
I’m not sure if this counts as paying back her family’s debt?
At the airport, I received her call. Her comforting words have lingered in my mind.
She’s still as kind and gentle as ever, becoming more lovable as she grows up.
There’s a sense of familiarity about her, but also a sense of strangeness.
I’m learning to let go, ti will dilute everything.
As long as I don’t say anything, I’ll always be her brother.
As long as she’s happy, I just won’t say it. ]
The entire entry was filled with grown-up emotional terminology.
It didn’t say ’like,’ ’care,’ ’love’...
But it allowed Huo Feng to see completely through Ye Xi’s transparent thoughts!
That guy, he just liked her...
Was secretly in love with her!
Then, Huo Feng’s ntal state... completely collapsed!
