Chapter 339: 332, Grandma is gone, but you still have me! (4)

Huo Feng had known something would definitely go wrong.

So, after he got home tonight, he had been on edge, just waiting for Pu Sangzhi to contact him.

In the end, Pu Sangzhi still hadn’t reached out to him, and he couldn’t hold back any longer, so he was the one who called her.

Thankfully, Huo Feng was relieved that his call had come at the right time.

Because, in her voice on the phone, she sounded so helpless, and it was still as worrisome as ever...

At such a critical moment, Huo Feng had to be brave and stand up, step forward, offering her a chest or a shoulder to lean on.

Hence, he asked quickly where Pu Sangzhi was at the moment?

And just as swiftly, he rode his little electric scooter to Jinhe Park in the shortest time possible.

Jinhe Park wasn’t very large, but finding someone in the vast crowd was still no easy task.

However, Huo Feng quickly found Pu Sangzhi.

Because, the bench that allowed one to see the street lamps and the moon forming a line was their secret place.

So, in the shortest time, at Pu Sangzhi’s most vulnerable moment, Huo Feng rushed to her side!

"Sangzhi..."

Huo Feng hurriedly ran to her, and upon seeing her still wearing that thin school uniform, he didn’t hesitate to take off his coat and drape it over her.

Afterward, he squatted down in front of her, his eyes bright and fixed on Pu Sangzhi’s downcast face.

Thankfully...

She didn’t seem to be crying.

If she isn’t crying at this time, how can he show his support?

Huo Feng complained inwardly.

Pu Sangzhi lifted her gaze to meet his, her lips slightly pursed, and after a long while, she called out, "Huo Feng..."

Huo Feng hurriedly responded, "I’m here."

Pu Sangzhi sniffled, "My mom stayed in Wenzhou and told me to come back alone. I... I don’t want to sleep at home by myself today."

Huo Feng quickly said, "It’s alright, I can stay with you at your place."

Pu Sangzhi shook her head slightly, "I don’t want to sleep at my place... that’s my grandmother’s house. She just passed away today..."

"Oh~ that is a bit inauspicious..."

Huo Feng slowly nodded, "Then, come with me... how about going to my grandfather’s place?"

"It’s not about being inauspicious..."

Pu Sangzhi said with pursed lips, "I just can’t face my grandmother’s belongings. You don’t know... my grandmother, she was worrying about our family’s debts even on her deathbed..."

As she spoke, Pu Sangzhi suddenly choked up, overwhelmed with sorrow, her emotions instantly reddening her eyes.

Seeing her looking like she was about to cry, Huo Feng immediately panicked!

Although he had been looking forward to Pu Sangzhi crying in his arms, when he actually saw her on the verge of tears, Huo Feng discovered that his heart hurt so much!

"It’s okay, it’s okay..."

Not knowing exactly how to comfort her, Huo Feng could only stand up quickly, take a step forward, and hug her.

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi was sitting, and he was standing.

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi’s head was buried in his midsection.

Perhaps he was too tall, so to make it easier for her, Huo Feng had to spread his feet apart, allowing her to lean on him a bit more.

At this very moment, Huo Feng again felt his height was quite adequate.

Could it be he had grown taller recently? Over 1.8 meters?

Ai, how can he think of such trivial things at a time like this!

Huo Feng quickly refocused, gently patting her back and softly soothing her, "It’s okay, Sangzhi. How about spending the night at my grandfather’s place?"

Pu Sangzhi shook her head slightly, her voice tinged with a crying tone, "Can we not go... I don’t want to see others, and I don’t have the energy to face them."

Huo Feng immediately agreed, "Of course! Let me think... we could go to our secret base? I’ll be with you, and we can sleep there tonight."

Only then did Pu Sangzhi nod.

Seeing how readily she agreed, he couldn’t help asking, "You... you weren’t planning on going to our secret base to sleep with me from the beginning, were you?"

Pu Sangzhi emerged from his embrace, tilting her head back, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at him.

Seeing those dewy, large eyes, Huo Feng hurriedly caressed her cheek, adding, "I asked the wrong question, shouldn’t have asked you like that. At such a serious time, I shouldn’t have joked. My fault!"

In reality, Pu Sangzhi was simply surprised he had asked that and wasn’t sure how to respond to him.

Seeing him admit his mistake so quickly, Pu Sangzhi suddenly thought: was she now starting to rely on him proactively?

How could she, after such an incident at home, look to him for a sense of security?

Even though before this, he always gave her a sense of security from time to time.

But she really hadn’t relied on him much...

Just this once...

Only this one time, she actually initiated a request, hoping he could help her achieve it?

So, was she... really starting to depend on Huo Feng?

"Tsk..."

Huo Feng’s brows furrowed deeply as he looked down, his expression somber as he locked eyes with her, "You look so pitiable... Seeing you like this really makes my heart ache."

Pu Sangzhi was even more surprised that he would say such words...

When she heard him say with his own mouth that his heart ached for her, Pu Sangzhi’s heart skipped a beat, as if struck by some force.

Suddenly, all the grievances, sadness, and helplessness that reality had brought her rushed to her mind...

In front of him, Pu Sangzhi could no longer contain her emotions.

Her chin trembled slightly, and her delicate eyebrows quivered in tandem, her emotions written all over her face.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Huo Feng let out a long sigh, leaned in, and swept her up in a princess carry.

Pu Sangzhi was even more unprepared for such an action at this time...

Taken by surprise, by the time she calmed down, Huo Feng was already sitting on the park bench, with her unexpectedly seated on his lap.

Huo Feng held her slender waist with one hand, while the other cradled her head, pressing it against his chest.

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi felt uncomfortable sitting on his lap, yet her body moved involuntarily without any thought of resistance.

Because being in his arms, feeling the warmth emanating from him, was also a source of safety for her.

Now she, like herself adrift amongst duckweed, had found it exceedingly hard to find this small refuge where she could feel safe.

Thus, she leaned against Huo Feng’s chest, not wanting to move at all, just wanting to depend on him, just wanting to rely on him...

Huo Feng pulled his own coat over her, covering her petite frame and half of her face.

This way, she wouldn’t get cold, right?

Seeing her in such a state, Huo Feng also didn’t know what to do...

He could only do as he thought best; he felt that now was the time to hold her, to wrap her up tightly.

Because she looked so pitiable...

Huo Feng’s heart, ached so much.

"It’s okay... It’s alright..."

Huo Feng gently stroked her face, looking down, his lips offering solace on her forehead, "Grandma may be gone, but you still have me. I’ve got decades of life ahead of me, and it’s all yours. I’ll be with you for however many years I live, guaranteed I can keep you company for most of your life. It’s alright..."

Listening to his rough words, feeling the warm pampering in his voice, Pu Sangzhi felt waves of warmth rise in her heart.

She quietly reached out, gently grasping his shirt, and spoke softly in his embrace, "Huo Feng..."

Huo Feng promptly responded, looking down: "Hmm."

Pu Sangzhi’s nose twitched slightly, "Before grandma passed away, she was always concerned about the debt that my mother and I owed, worried that we couldn’t pay it back... She had already given us her only house before, and this time, she left us the last bit of money she had in her card..."

Huo Feng sighed, "Hmm... She loved you a lot."

Pu Sangzhi spoke softly, "Back then... I was really upset... I felt so inferior because I was like a burden, a drag on everyone..."

Huo Feng denied it, "How can you feel inferior? You’re exceptional, and anyone who marries you is lucky. I recognized your potential, that’s why I never gave up on you..."

"Huo Feng..."

Pu Sangzhi gently tightened her grip on Huo Feng’s shirt, "In truth, I’m just a withered mulberry leaf... Other than my good grades, I’m not as good as you think in other aspects..."

"No."

Huo Feng continued to deny: "It’s only because of circumstances that you feel so pitiable. Don’t worry, once I’m able, I will definitely change the situation for you. In the future, I will protect and love you just like your grandma did. The love your grandma had for you, plus my love for you, I’ll give it to you double."

Pu Sangzhi bit her lip, "What you’re saying is a bit nauseating..."

Huo Feng chuckled, "What can we do then? I’m just that kind of nauseating person, and I’ll always be this nauseating in the future. You’ll have to bear with it."

Pu Sangzhi’s lips curled up slightly at his teasing, and she felt a bit of an improvement in her mood.

The wind of early spring blew past, with a leaf drifting down slowly, catching Pu Sangzhi’s eye.

Today, she was truly like a withered mulberry leaf, almost cast adrift to the soil...

Fortunately, Huo Feng was there.

He protected her last thread of life as if offering her a grip on hope in life...
