Chapter 330: 323. Spend a low-key Valentine’s Day with her! (1)

"Cellphone..."

Pu Sangzhi also felt somewhat guilty at this moment.

Because she realized if she told Huo Feng that the cellphone was bought by Ye Xi, Huo Feng would inevitably get jealous.

But she was a person who couldn’t lie.

So, at this time, she could only downplay the issue and tell Huo Feng, "On New Year’s Eve, I went to Xiaocao’s house. Then, Xiaocao told her mom that I didn’t have a cellphone, so her mom had Brother Ye Xi buy one for me on the spot. That’s how I got a cellphone that day, and moreover, on New Year’s night, I called you so many times because I wanted to wish you a happy New Year. Who knew you would be in a car accident at that time... That’s what happened."

"Is that so?"

After listening, Huo Feng chewed on this in his heart and suddenly realized, "So this cellphone was bought by that damn Ye Xi?!"

"Hey, it wasn’t Brother Ye Xi. He just took me to buy it, and it was Aunt Hui’s money he used. So, it was Aunt Hui who gave me this, Brother Ye Xi is just a student, where would he get the money?" Pu Sangzhi hurriedly explained.

Although what she said made sense, and although her words seemed flawless...

Yet, why did Huo Feng still feel uneasy!

He rested his chin on his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite unhappy, "No matter how you explain it, it doesn’t change the fact that you spent New Year’s Eve with that damn Ye Xi and accepted the cellphone he got you..."

Pu Sangzhi knew Huo Feng would react this way, so at this moment, she really had no other choice but to explain, "I’ll say it again, it was Aunt Hui who paid, so the cellphone was a gift from Aunt Hui. Brother Ye Xi couldn’t afford a cellphone, he just accompanied me to pick one out in the store."

"So..."

Huo Feng looked displeased, "I’ve offered to buy you a cellphone before, and you rejected me so bluntly. Would you not have rejected someone else?"

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Well...

About that, Pu Sangzhi didn’t know how to explain. Because it was indeed true!

So, she remained silent.

Seeing she had nothing to say, Huo Feng continued, "I offer to buy you a cellphone and you don’t accept, someone else buys you one, and you accept. Buying such a big thing like a cellphone and you don’t discuss it with me, secretly buying a cellphone without telling me. Spending such an important day as New Year’s Eve with someone else, and even going shopping for a cellphone... You’re so bold, aren’t you?"

Seeing him ramble on, basically just scolding her, Pu Sangzhi had nothing else to argue about, just saying, "I said what I had to say. What now, is it your turn to be angry?"

Huo Feng rested his cheek in his hand, his face bunching up as he spoke forlornly, "I do want to be angry with you. But given my status, can I afford to be angry? I hadn’t even wooed you successfully yet, would getting angry just make you leave?"

When Pu Sangzhi heard him say this, she sighed in relief, "Then we’re even."

Huo Feng, "Even? What’s even?"

Pu Sangzhi spoke, "I won’t blame you for blocking my number, nor for cursing at me. You can’t blame me for buying a cellphone with Brother Ye Xi on New Year’s Eve. Let’s just consider the cellphone matter settled."

Huo Feng snorted, "That’s letting you off too easily."

Pu Sangzhi fixed her gaze on him, "So what do you want? An argument or a cold war?"

Though Huo Feng had a lot of emotions, matters like arguing or giving the cold shoulder were not things he wanted to brood over.

Their relationship was too precious, or perhaps too fragile, not sturdy enough to endure disruptions, how could it break over someone else?

So, after some thought, Huo Feng finally said, "Consider that you owe me one. I need some compensation."

Pu Sangzhi scoffed, not feeling like arguing with him.

Seeing her not respond, Huo Feng took it as her agreement.

So, the matter related to the cellphone was considered past!

Then, he further spoke to Pu Sangzhi, "Today’s Valentine’s Day, wanna celebrate?"

Pu Sangzhi turned around with flowers in hand and deliberately said, "Who’s celebrating with you, I want to read a book."

Huo Feng tapped his fingers on the desk, saying, "Then I’ll accompany you in reading."

Pu Sangzhi saw that he didn’t insist, nor did he cajole her to spend Valentine’s Day with him, which slightly surprised her.

But soon, Huo Feng provided the answer.

"It’s such a big day, I really can’t think of any good place to go on campus..."

Huo Feng sighed, "The sports ground, the small garden, they’re all crowded with people. Might even bump into the ’Valley Master of Ruthless Valley’. Tsk, this school already doesn’t have a place for us~"

Alright...

So he didn’t insist because he had nowhere to go.

That suited her just fine.

Pu Sangzhi was also planning to stay in the library anyway.

She then said, "Then let’s just read here. It’s a shame though..."

Huo Feng suddenly heard her say ’it’s a shame’ and thought she regretted not being able to spend a proper Valentine’s Day with him.

Immediately, his heart rejoiced, and he bluntly asked, "A shame about what? Can’t spend a proper Valentine’s Day with me?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and smiled, "A shame I didn’t bring any homework, and you didn’t bring any either. Otherwise, I could have tutored you."

Huo Feng ran his hand over his buzzed head, took a deep breath, and frowned, "You, I don’t even know what to say about you..."

Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi curled her lips into a smile.

Even though he was teasing her, she still found it amusing.

"Sangzhi..."

Suddenly, Huo Feng propped his head up and called her.

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, "Hmm?"

Huo Feng tapped the desk with his other hand, making a simple hand gesture, "Hold my hand for a bit."

Pu Sangzhi looked at the gesture he made with his hand, her lips pursed in a smile, "No, it’s too public here..."

Huo Feng furrowed his brows, "Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day, can’t you offer that little perk... I’m not even asking you to kiss me, so be mindful of the limits."

Pu Sangzhi laughed out loud, "What limits?"

Huo Feng opened his broad palm and said, "We’re at the point where we can hold hands whenever. We need to hold hands more, whether there’s a reason or not, so we don’t backslide."

Pu Sangzhi: "Who said we’re at the point where we can just hold hands whenever?"

Huo Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and simply covered her hand with his, forcibly grabbing her small hand.

Worried about being seen by everyone and causing unnecessary trouble, Pu Sangzhi moved their clasped hands below the table, holding hands in the shadows.

She said, "This is inconvenient, how am I supposed to flip through my book?"

Huo Feng freed his other hand and said, "I’ll flip the pages for you, just let me know when you’re done."

Pu Sangzhi sighed softly and shook her head, "Then you flip the pages forward."

Huo Feng obediently did so and after he had finished, he asked, "Why forward? Didn’t you read the beginning?"

Pu Sangzhi: "I just forgot the previous contents while chatting with you."

Huo Feng lowered his head to glance at the book she was currently reading, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Wow, a fairy has descended to the mortal world. You’re not reading foreign classics now, but romance novels instead..."

Pu Sangzhi said, "Learning."

Huo Feng laughed heartily, "You’re learning too. What are you studying? How to act cute like the female protagonist?"

Pu Sangzhi didn’t argue with him.

If he knew that she just wanted to learn how to be in a relationship, Huo Feng would probably laugh at her...

Thus, they spent the evening in the library together.

Holding the rose Huo Feng had given her and holding his hand while enjoying him accompanying her through her reading, Pu Sangzhi today... was still the little princess he cherished.

She rather liked this low-key, ordinary Valentine’s Day.

Actually, as long as Huo Feng was with her, she would be happy.

...

For dinner, Pu Sangzhi went to the school cafeteria with Huo Feng.

To keep it low-key, Pu Sangzhi first went back to the girls’ dormitory to leave the rose, and then went to the cafeteria to eat with Huo Feng.

Today, there were quite a few couples in the cafeteria. Looking around, there were many pairs of boys and girls sitting together.

But since everyone was a student, their behavior on campus was proper; they were just interacting with each other, nothing too glaring to see.

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng sat opposite each other, quietly eating, in similarly good spirits.

As they were harmoniously eating and chatting, enjoying each other’s company, suddenly a boy entered the cafeteria, drawing Pu Sangzhi’s attention.

The boy wore a baggy school uniform, spectacles with square black frames, disheveled and somewhat long hair, and a bit of stubble, giving off a disheveled ’bookworm’ appearance.

Pu Sangzhi took a couple of extra glances at him, and Huo Feng’s gaze followed hers to the boy.

"Hey..."

Despite the boy’s shabby look, Huo Feng immediately felt a pang of jealousy, "Is that unattractive guy so interesting to look at?"

Pu Sangzhi shifted her gaze back to Huo Feng: "He’s Chen Ruixiang."

Huo Feng furrowed his brows, "So what? Who is he?"

Pu Sangzhi took a breath, reminding him, "Second in our section."

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "That scruffy-looking guy?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "He’s your target."

Huo Feng scoffed with a laugh, "That’s easy. I’ll surpass him this term!"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head immediately, "It’s not that simple, his grades are very stable, always right behind me."

Huo Feng boasted, "He’ll still be behind me after this!"
