Chapter 333: When will studying be a bit more merciful to him? (1)

Huo Feng truly wished that Pu Sangzhi would take the initiative with him.

To hold his hand, hug him, kiss him, these were practically Huo Feng’s dreams!

People need to have dreams!

A life without dreams is like a salted fish!

So...

Huo Feng’s long-term dream was: to get into Tsinghua, and marry her!

But his short-term dream was: to scheme and seduce her into kissing him!

To fulfill his dreams, Huo Feng had to employ his tenacious spirit, keep on going, continue to work hard, not fear failure, and never give up!

Thus, in the face of Pu Sangzhi’s rejection, Huo Feng still shamelessly asked several times, said a lot of nice things, coaxed her for a long time, and even resorted to acting cute, playing the fool... everything in his arsenal.

In the end... denied!

And after the rejection, Pu Sangzhi even threw him a line, "Even if you rank second in the class, I wouldn’t kiss you. So give up on that idea early!"

At 3:05 pm on Saturday, Huo Feng’s dreams... bit the dust!

...

In the afternoon, after tutoring had ended, Huo Feng rode his little electric scooter back to his grandpa’s house.

To surpass the second in the class and show Pu Sangzhi what he’s made of, Huo Feng forced himself into serious study mode on Saturday night.

Without saying a word, he began to recite English vocabulary words in the living room!

Huo Feng had a very good habit, which was that he had to be seen by others when he studied seriously.

Studying seriously without anyone noticing was a waste of time... that’s what Huo Feng believed.

Therefore, he deliberately sat in the living room to recite English vocabulary loudly and earnestly, showing an extremely serious demeanor.

In the evening, Shen Jianhua had a habit of watching anti-Japanese dramas in the living room.

However, to let Huo Feng study properly, Shen Jianhua gave up the thrilling scenes of ’fighting the devils’ and quietly took out his phone to play Bingo Pop.

Huo Feng’s grandma sat next to Shen Jianhua, scrolling through WeChat groups on her phone, sending the occasional voice message, but trying to keep her voice down as much as possible.

Besides them, sitting next to Huo Feng, Shen Nuan was also watching dramas with her earphones on, and although she would occasionally laugh, she was mostly quiet.

Thus, the three family members were almost all cooperating with Huo Feng’s studying, providing a serene environment for him to hit the books. It could be said to be full of family love, with a world filled with affection!

But...

As he studied until his brain often froze, Huo Feng felt that their acts of fiddling with their phones around him... were downright excessive!

For a student with poor self-discipline, having people play with their phones nearby while studying is such a tantalizing situation!

Therefore, after reluctantly reciting English words for over half an hour, Huo Feng became distracted and couldn’t help picking up his phone to play as well.

Now that he knew Pu Sangzhi had a phone, he constantly felt the urge to contact her.

To let Pu Sangzhi know that he was studying hard, Huo Feng deliberately took a picture of his English book and sent it to her, with the caption: [How’s that? Can you see my attitude towards serious study?]

After sending it, Huo Feng put his phone aside, got back to studying, and waited for a reply from Pu Sangzhi.

But after studying for 10 more minutes, Pu Sangzhi hadn’t replied...

Getting bored again, Huo Feng couldn’t resist sending another message to Pu Sangzhi: [Why don’t you praise me? I’m studying so hard!]

After sending that, Huo Feng continued to study and wait; with a restless heart, he waited another 10 minutes.

However, Pu Sangzhi still didn’t reply.

Huo Feng couldn’t resist picking up his phone and trying to call Pu Sangzhi with a voice message on WeChat.

This guy just wanted to hear others praise him, admire him, and lift him up...

If he didn’t receive any praise in a day, he felt like he lacked the motivation to do anything.

No helping it, he was used to being outstanding...

At this moment, Huo Feng just wanted to hear a word of praise from Pu Sangzhi. He thought that after being purified by her compliments, he would definitely be able to focus on his studies.

But Pu Sangzhi didn’t answer the voice call either.

Having failed to get through and without anyone to show off to, Huo Feng simply had to find his own sense of presence.

He posted the picture of the English book on his Moments with the caption: [Those who study on their own will always succeed one day. Like me, the future second in the class!]

The caption could be said to be quite pretentious.

It was only after posting to his Moments that Huo Feng contentedly put down his phone and continued to study seriously for another 10 minutes.

In this way, off and on, Huo Feng also managed to study for more than an hour.

When he truly got tired of studying, he finally put down his books and fully devoted himself to playing with his phone.

By then, he had already received a wave of likes and comments in his Moments, a deluge of praise, including some backhanded compliments...

Huo Feng scrolled through, only to see that Yan Siyuan had commented again, and what’s more, he had commented: [Want to play a round?]]

"Seriously..."

Huo Feng muttered under his breath, "This guy is always calling me to play games, he’s absolutely devious! He must want to corrupt my studying attitude and get me addicted to games! What a scoundrel!"

Having said that...

minutes later, Huo Feng joined Yan Siyuan and Shen Nuan for a round of Honor of Kings, forming a three-person team.

"Go to hell, Yan Ji, go for it, Yan Ji! You’re a jungler, you can’t be a wuss!"

"Yan Ji, come save me! You wanna see me die or what!?"

"Yan Ji, you’re so bad, I can’t stand you anymore. I’m jungling next game..."

On the other side, Yan Siyuan commented, "You’re too loud."

Time flew when they were playing games!

Two difficult ranked matches, and an hour had whooshed by, with gaming time already far exceeding study time.

As they played, Huo Feng got more and more into it, increasingly losing himself in the game and forgetting about studying, with the English book now completely pushed aside...

Thus, the three of them played all the way until after 11 p.m...

Yan Siyuan said to Huo Feng, "That’s enough for now, I’m getting off after this game."

Huo Feng shouted to him, "Where are you going? Why so early to bed? I don’t believe you keep such a good schedule."

Yan Siyuan replied, "Better than yours."

Huo Feng asked, "Really going to sleep?"

Yan Siyuan, "Yes, I have classes tomorrow."

Huo Feng, "It’s Sunday tomorrow."

Yan Siyuan, "Piano lessons."

Huo Feng, "Yo, that’s so cool!"

Yan Siyuan, "You taught me."

Huo Feng, "?"

Yan Siyuan, "It was you who let me realize, even with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, one can still pick up girls with just that bit of skill."

Grinding his teeth, Huo Feng said, "The hell, are you praising me or insulting me?"

Yan Siyuan, "Obviously insulting."

Huo Feng, "..."

Yan Siyuan, "I’m off to bed, I’ll treat you and Pu Sangzhi to a concert next month. Wenzhou Grand Theater, I can get tickets."

Huo Feng, "Just two tickets will do, a bit far from you too, I fear getting too close might make you fall for me, thanks."

Yan Siyuan, "Get lost!"

After sending the message, Huo Feng laughed out loud, finding Yan Ji’s irritated reaction particularly amusing!

Essentially, Yan Siyuan was the second good student friend Huo Feng made in his life, after Pu Sangzhi.

Yan Siyuan completely overturned Huo Feng’s impression of ’good students’.

You see, his idea of a good student used to be someone like Chen Ruixiang who appeared so bookish just by looking at the group chat, or someone as self-disciplined as Pu Sangzhi...

But this Yan Siyuan seemed as carefree as he was, with interests and hobbies not much different from his own.

Yet, Yan Siyuan’s academic performance was miles ahead of his, and his life seemed much freer too, at least not bound by studying.

Huo Feng envied Yan Siyuan.

And there, he swore to himself that he would become the second Yan Siyuan!

When would studying be a bit kinder to him, Huo Feng...

...

The next day was Sunday.

On Sunday morning, because Pu Sangzhi was tutoring Huo Feng’s ten younger brothers, she took over the English class previously taught by Ye Qingcao.

Early on Sunday, at 7:30 a.m., Huo Feng rode his electric scooter to pick up Pu Sangzhi and bring her to their secret base.

By the time they arrived, the nine younger brothers were already there.

The last to arrive was Wang Chao, who brought an unexpected surprise with him: he and Zhu Dandan were there to reveal their relationship as a couple.

For the first time in a relationship, Wang Chao stood in front of everyone with Zhu Dandan’s hand in his, his face beet-red, and after a long pause, he squeezed out two words, "Officially announcing..."

"Yo~"

Instantly, a teasing shout came from below, and the guys looked at them amusingly with interesting glances.

This couple, with Zhu Dandan standing confidently, looked utterly self-assured.

Wang Chao, on the other hand, turned red from shyness, his square face blushing deeply, looking a bit less imposing than usual.

But in terms of looks, they were quite a good match.

Down below, Gu Yang felt a slight pang in his heart upon seeing the two of them come together so suddenly. At this moment, his laughter was forced, egging them on against his better judgment...

"Uh, we will treat everyone to lunch..."

Wang Chao said, "Not much money, one bowl of noodles per person okay?"

Below, everyone clapped and cheered, "Add some spare ribs!"

Wang Chao agreed, "Okay..."

Zhu Dandan, standing by his side, thought Wang Chao being like this was just too adorable!
