Chapter 343: 336, I can accompany you for decades, don’t push me away! (1)
Huo Feng returned to the classroom safely, and his deskmate Pan Bo, as well as Gu Yang and Lin Yuhao from the back desk, immediately swarmed him, their gossip-filled eyes locking onto him.
Pan Bo took the lead and asked, "Brother Feng, what did the head say to you?"
As Pan Bo asked this, the surrounding classmates also surreptitiously looked over and pricked up their ears, keenly listening to Huo Feng’s response.
Perhaps, for the students, being sought out by the head was a terrifying matter. They were all curious – how had Huo Feng, who recently seemed as innocent as a baby, gotten into trouble again?
At that moment, Huo Feng was not the least bit nervous or fearful; he raised an eyebrow and said, "He, the Valley Master of Ruthless Valley, what could he say to me?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Bo slowly nodded, "Oh~ another warning about breaking up couples, huh?"
Huo Feng confirmed, "Mm-hmm."
Pan Bo was slightly skeptical, "Really? He came to see you personally for Pu Sangzhi? That idle, is he?"
Huo Feng blinked to affirm, "Just that idle, who can blame him when Sangzhi is his precious baby."
Pan Bo: "Oh..."
So it seemed, Pan Bo felt that Brother Feng was rather pitiful.
In terms of romance, no matter how far he progressed with sister-in-law, there was still the head as an obstacle!
Ha ha...
For some reason, seeing Brother Feng’s romantic obstacles, Pan Bo found it quite satisfying!
...
This week, due to his grandmother’s death, Pu Sangzhi had been in a down mood all along.
For the entire week, she hardly talked or smiled...
During free time, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao saw her looking distracted and lost in thought.
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao hoped she would feel a bit happier, but since her family was indeed facing a big issue, they didn’t know how to comfort her.
And these past few days, Huo Feng hadn’t sought her out much either, because Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t allow him; she said she wanted some peace and quiet lately...
So, these four days of the week, Pu Sangzhi spent her time very quietly.
On the Thursday afternoon after school, Pu Sangzhi could just pack her bags and head straight home.
It was not until then that Huo Feng came to find her...
Knowing that she would be off on Friday for her grandmother’s funeral and that there would be other small matters to deal with on Saturday and Sunday, Huo Feng waited for her at the first floor of the teaching building after school on Thursday.
Having not seen her for a week, Huo Feng felt Pu Sangzhi looked much more haggard!
He followed her, accompanying her as they slowly walked out of the campus...
Along the way, Pu Sangzhi hardly spoke, apparently still in a bad mood.
All Huo Feng could do was try to cheer her up, talking about other subjects, asking her, "Can I keep you company over the weekend?"
On Friday, Pu Sangzhi’s grandmother would be cremated. She also had to attend to some chores on Saturday and Sunday.
This week, Pu Sangzhi thought, she probably wouldn’t have the mood to concern herself with anything else.
So, she declined Huo Feng, "Let’s not meet this week. I need some time to adjust myself, and I’ll be fine next week."
Huo Feng sighed and, hearing her decision, could only agree, "All right, then I’ll come to pick you up on Sunday."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Mm."
Seeing no one around, Huo Feng finally felt comfortable enough to stretch out his hand, gently ruffling her hair, and said, "Remember this, I’m here for you. I can keep you company for decades, just don’t push me away."
His words warmed Pu Sangzhi’s heart.
Her parched heart seemed moistened by sweet rain, her gloomy mood seemingly clearing up, with strands of hope showering down with the sunlight...
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but lightly curl her lips upward, turning to him and saying, "Then you, you’ll have to work hard for our future."
The words ’our future’ coming from her typically dry and unemotional mouth sounded incredibly pleasant!
Huo Feng was instantly invigorated, his heart feeling exhilarated, "Sure, I’ll definitely work hard! I promise not to disappoint you!"
Pu Sangzhi blinked calmly, "Although I can’t tutor you this weekend, you need to be diligent yourself. The mid-term exams are just two weeks away; you can’t fall behind."
Huo Feng patted his chest, boldly stating, "Absolutely! I’m really smart now; my head is filled with knowledge, I guarantee progress!"
Pu Sangzhi advised, "Stop boasting. Every time you boast, I worry reality might knock you down. You often feel too good about yourself, which isn’t a healthy mindset."
"No..."
Huo Feng denied, "I really do have the capability, it’s not just feeling good about myself. You’ve seen it, I improved so fast last semester, faster than when I had to retake the high school entrance exam! It shows I have potential!"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Because she knew, whatever she said was useless; perhaps Huo Feng was indeed not just boasting, but his mindset was just overly positive.
On the way, Huo Feng escorted her to the school gate, where Pu Sangzhi showed her leave request to the security guard at the entrance.
Afterward, the security guard opened the gate to let her out.
After she exited, Huo Feng stood inside the iron gate, waving and shouting at her, "Call me if you miss me! Don’t always wait for me to call you! I can’t be sure when you’ll miss me!"
Upon hearing his words, Pu Sangzhi didn’t retort, but simply turned around and waved at him.
She didn’t say anything, just quietly walked away with her backpack on.
As her figure receded into the distance, the school entrance’s security uncle stared at Huo Feng with a curious gaze...
Huo Feng later noticed the uncle looking at him, and immediately cracked a smile, "That’s my future girlfriend, I’ve reserved her."
The security uncle was amused by his remark, "Alright, alright..."
"I’m leaving, uncle, don’t tell the teachers..."
Finally, Huo Feng greeted the security uncle and then turned back.
...
Pu Sangzhi went home.
Friday was the day for her grandmother’s cremation ceremony.
In the dead of night, her family took her grandmother’s body to Rui’an for cremation, then drove back home in the early morning, mourning her in a traditional and proper way.
The weather was poor on that Friday.
The gloomy sky, coupled with a fine drizzle, seemed as if even heaven was setting the tone for the funeral.
That day, Chen Huifen and several of Pu Sangzhi’s aunts were by the coffin, their eyes swollen from crying, their tears heart-wrenching and soul-destroying...
Having grown up, it was the first time Pu Sangzhi had seen Chen Huifen cry like that, more distressed than a child, causing a scene...
The image of Chen Huifen that day was deeply etched in Pu Sangzhi’s heart, and she believed she would never forget the face of her mother, consumed with grief.
On Friday, after the funeral in the morning and meals at noon and in the evening, Pu Sangzhi’s family held a mourning feast, which was attended by relatives and neighbors for two meals.
Busy until the evening, Pu Sangzhi and her mother finally saw off all the relatives and neighbors and started cleaning up the house, washing dishes, and mopping the floors...
Exhausted, they managed to tidy up the house by 9:30 PM.
That night, because of her concern for Chen Huifen, Pu Sangzhi suggested they sleep together.
So, the mother and daughter stayed in the same room, sitting on the same bed, and had a rare and calm chat.
Chen Huifen took out the hidden property deed from the wardrobe, brought it over to Pu Sangzhi, and showed it to her.
Currently, the name on the property deed was still the grandmother, Zhao Ahua.
Gently touching the deed, Chen Huifen said to Pu Sangzhi, "Last time, your aunt came to see me. She told me a lot. About this property deed, your aunt said, to respect your grandmother’s wishes, it should remain with us. In the future, if the other aunts cause trouble, your aunt will help us. However, she hopes that we won’t change the name on the deed for the next few years, considering the risks in our family. She suggested that when you get married, we should sell it as your dowry to bring to your marital home. That would be the safest... What do you think?"
Pu Sangzhi listened quietly, and finally shook her head, "Mom, I don’t want any money. Don’t make plans for me, I will earn my own in the future."
Chen Huifen, knowing well how sensible Pu Sangzhi was, continued, "Let’s not worry about the property deed for now. Your grandmother also left us more than 60,000 yuan. Right now, I dare not use it..."
Pu Sangzhi asked, "Can it be used to repay the other aunts?"
Chen Huifen nodded, "That was what I thought too. But it’s not appropriate to repay them at this critical moment because they all know this money belonged to your grandmother. So, we’ll have to wait a while to discuss this."
"Now that grandma is gone, I feel I’ve unfairly benefited... As her daughter, I couldn’t make her enjoy life and only caused her worries and took advantage, sigh..." Chen Huifen couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Seeing this, Pu Sangzhi could only embrace Chen Huifen, leaning on her shoulder, and consoling, "Mom, don’t be sad. Actually, Grandma just hoped that we could be alive. Being alive is more important than money."
Chen Huifen sighed, "Yes."
Pu Sangzhi said, "Mom, no matter how tough or how hard, we must keep living. There will be money eventually, and debts will be paid off... Life is still long, we must keep living."
Chen Huifen nodded in relief and softly responded, "Yes."
Pu Sangzhi continued, "I will study hard, work hard to earn money in the future. One day, our family will be reunited, and everything will get better."
Chen Huifen replied, "Yes."
Pu Sangzhi gently curved her lips, "And, I will also be with you. I can still be with you for decades; you won’t be alone."
Borrowing Huo Feng’s words ’can still accompany for decades,’ Pu Sangzhi used them to console Chen Huifen.
She knew, such words sounded good and were heartwarming.
Indeed, Chen Huifen felt comforted, a slight warmth on her heart, "Yes, mom won’t be lonely, mom has you."
Life must go on.
There is still a long road ahead in life.
Pu Sangzhi believed: everything will eventually be fine.
She looked forward to the future and adjusted her mindset, ready to continue facing what was to come...
