Chapter 335: 328. Youthful boys and girls in bud! (3)

Gu Yang was always straightforward by nature and his speech was always direct.

He knew that among his 10 brothers, his emotional intelligence was the lowest, but he didn’t feel that this was a problem—in fact, he was quite proud of his honest disposition!

Because, being honest is nothing to be ashamed of...

However, Gu Yang sometimes had to admit that his excessive straightforwardness, along with his low emotional intelligence, had caused him to miss out on many things...

Today, Gu Yang thought to himself that the reason Zhu Dandan didn’t fancy him, the reason she chose Wang Chao from the remaining nine boys, must be because of his low emotional intelligence.

During the winter break, Gu Yang had dropped off and picked up Zhu Dandan every day, day after day.

This close relationship had gotten Gu Yang used to this girl, used to chatting with her and being accustomed to taking her home.

Perhaps because habit had become second nature, Gu Yang did like Zhu Dandan somewhat.

He had to admit that he had fantasized about a future where he and Zhu Dandan became a couple.

Only, such fantasies, unexpectedly, remained just that—fantasies. What he ultimately faced was the sight of Zhu Dandan holding hands with Wang Chao.

Gu Yang was in a bad mood all morning, almost the entire time stealing glances at Zhu Dandan...

Sometimes people are like that, the more you lose something, the better you think it is, and the sadder it makes you.

Gu Yang’s mood was exactly like that.

He was disheartened, disappointed, sad, and depressed, a mix of negative emotions weighing on his mind, ruining his mood for the day.

In the morning, during Pu Sangzhi’s English class, Gu Yang hardly absorbed anything...

In such a state, Gu Yang muddled through the morning.

...

At 11:30 a.m., the morning lessons came to an end.

Wang Chao, who had promised to treat everyone, ordered a bowl of noodles for each person, and everyone started to eat lunch at their secret base.

Since Wang Chao and Zhu Dandan were now a couple, they naturally sat together during the meal.

Zhu Dandan picked out the pickles from her noodles one by one and placed them into Wang Chao’s bowl, giggling as she said to him, "Big brother Chao, you have to help me eat the things I don’t like."

Wang Chao, who wasn’t picky about food, nodded and then slurped up his noodles heartily.

Zhu Dandan, watching Wang Chao eat with gusto, found even his way of eating attractive!

Thus, there was always a smile that she couldn’t suppress on Zhu Dandan’s face as she sat beside Wang Chao, giggling foolishly.

Wang Chao caught her continuing to watch him out of the corner of his eye, felt nervous, and his ears reddened involuntarily, "Stop looking at me, and eat yours."

"I just want to take a few more glances..."

Zhu Dandan said playfully, "You’re so good-looking, I just can’t get enough..."

After she finished this sentence, the boys at the table were so grossed out they began to burp!

The scene erupted with jeering...

"Oh come on, do you really need to flaunt your affection like that? Didn’t you notice most of us here are single?">

"Enough already, can’t you learn from Big Brother Feng and The Only One and keep things low-key? It’s too much to talk like this in public!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I suggest the two of you go eat upstairs, just the two of you—scram!"

The last suggestion was made by Pan Bo.

Of course, Pan Bo was just joking around, but unexpectedly, Zhu Dandan took him seriously.

She actually asked Wang Chao, "Big brother Chao, shall we go upstairs?"

Wang Chao originally felt there was no need to eat separately, but after giving it some thought, he realized Zhu Dandan might want to eat alone with him...

So he responded, "Do you want to go?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dandan nodded, "Sure."

Wang Chao stood up with his bowl of noodles, and casually reached for Zhu Dandan’s bowl as well, then led her upstairs.

The two of them left under the watchful eyes of all their brothers.

After the couple had left, Pan Bo shook his head, "Sigh, I was just joking, but it ended up facilitating things for them. It really is..."

Lin Yuhao commented, "That’s how it is when you just start dating: you can’t bear to be apart from each other even for a minute. Give it some time, and it’ll pass."

Pan Bo shook his head, "Sigh, nowadays, there are fewer and fewer single dogs left. Only a few of us are left to huddle together for warmth. Who else’s spring is coming next? Speak up early, let my heart prepare in advance."

"I reckon the next one will probably be you."

Zheng Sen, holding a rib with his chopsticks, spoke to Pan Bo, "Aren’t you and Wen Miao also quite close? Are you about to make it official?"

Pan Bo refuted Zheng Sen, "Hey, who says getting close means you’ll make it? Haven’t you seen how close I’ve always been to Dandan? And what happened in the end? She ended up with Big Brother Chao instead. What does that tell you?"

Pan Bo answered his own question, "It shows that the decision is in the girl’s hands. We have more males, fewer females; we’re the ones being chosen!"

From the side, Zheng Sen was the first to take the lead, "Anyway, there’s no way I’m winding up with that Wen Miao, I’m just putting it out there."

Meanwhile, Chen Li also said, "Neither will I. That woman is too manly, I can’t handle it!"

Zhang Wei also chimed in, "I’ve never even spoken to her, there’s no possibility of development..."

Subsequently, the remaining brothers each expressed their feelings and their rejection of Wen Miao.

It’s just as well that Wen Miao wasn’t there today, otherwise, she would have been heartbroken...

Seeing his brothers looking down on Wen Miao, Pan Bo felt compelled to say a few words in her defense, "Actually, sister Wen Miao isn’t that bad. After interacting with her for a while, I think her personality is pretty decent. It’s just that she lacks a bit in terms of temperament; if I had to rate her, I think she could at least be a 6 out of 10."

Upon seeing this, Zheng Sen said, "If she’s so great, I think you should just take her for yourself. Don’t worry, I won’t object to you getting out of singlehood."

From the side, the other brothers also expressed their agreement, "Yeah, take the chance to develop something! She’s still a girl, after all!"

Pan Bo coughed twice, "Don’t start a commotion, guys. My relationship with her is purely friendly, the kind of pure that can’t get any purer! Besides, you guys know what kind of face I like!"

All the brothers nodded, "An Internet celebrity face, right!"

Pan Bo said, "Correct. An Internet celebrity face, smart!"

And so, amidst the brothers’ teasing and chatting, poor Wen Miao was silently rejected, with Pan Bo not wanting her either...

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng stayed quiet during the brothers’ conversation, the pair just enjoying the scene as listeners, smiling as they listened...

The tutoring session on this Sunday passed slowly amidst all the chatting and banter.

...

On Sunday afternoon, after returning from their secret base, Pu Sangzhi continued tutoring Lin Qianqian and Huo Feng for the whole afternoon.

Since the start of this term, her weekends were completely dominated by tutoring.

From the plans for the first week alone, it was almost possible to predict the schedule for the entire term.

In essence, Pu Sangzhi’s plan for the term was to spend it tutoring everyone, aiming to help everyone improve their grades! Especially Huo Feng...

She hoped that Huo Feng would achieve good grades this term.

Therefore, she was determined to teach him well and keep a close eye on his academic performance.

In the evening, the two would walk to school side by side as usual.

The only difference from last year was that, this year, they started holding hands as they walked.

Huo Feng was in a fairly good mood.

On the way, he talked to Pu Sangzhi about Zhu Dandan, Wang Chao, and Wen Miao, who was unpopular with so many boys.

Pu Sangzhi hadn’t expected that both Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao, whom she had introduced to the ten brothers, would get to know these people in depth, and so far, their relationships with all ten brothers were quite good.

Pu Sangzhi had thought that with Zhu Dandan out of singlehood, Wen Miao’s turn would be coming soon.

But unexpectedly, in the eyes of the boys, the reaction to Wen Miao was so much poorer compared to Zhu Dandan...

Regarding these brothers who judged by appearance, Pu Sangzhi was speechless.

So, she brought up the matter with Huo Feng.

She even asked Huo Feng, "I’m really curious, do you guys always choose girls based on their looks? What about when you first saw me?"

Huo Feng answered without hesitation, "I’m definitely not that shallow! As for being attracted to you, it’s definitely not just because of your looks, I evaluated all aspects."

Pu Sangzhi then asked, "What aspects?"

Huo Feng raised a finger, counting off each point, "First off, you’re good-looking. Secondly, you have a good figure. Then..."

"Hold on..."

Just from those points, Pu Sangzhi already understood what he meant, "So, you were attracted to me because of my looks and figure?"

"Not at all..."

Huo Feng shook his head, "Thirdly, it’s because you’re a good student. You know, someone with my grades sees such an outstanding and beautiful girl, who matches me so well in every aspect, how could I not make my move?"

Pu Sangzhi felt she understood, "So, looks, figure, and academic performance are why you were attracted to me?"

Huo Feng then nodded, "Love at first sight. Of course it starts off superficially... Hey, you’re not mad at me for answering so honestly, are you?"

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "Not mad. Just thinking, why are guys all so lecherous?"

Huo Feng laughed heartily, "Being lecherous is in a man’s nature; it’s a problem if they’re not! A man who isn’t lecherous is either effeminate or impotent!"

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Is he taking pride in this?

Pride in being ’lecherous’?

Disgusting...
