Chapter 406: 399, we can definitely get into Tsinghua together! (2)

At noon, half past twelve, having had lunch, Huo Feng lay on the couch, patting his full belly like a beached whale...

There’s nothing more delightful in life than lying down and playing with your phone after a hearty meal!

Forget about study, grades, progress, questions, and test papers—playing on the phone was way more fulfilling.

On this fine Sunday, Huo Feng saw Yan Siyuan had posted another moment in his social feed, showing off his piano-playing Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

"Tsk tsk..."

Huo Feng, with a toothpick dangling from his mouth, mercilessly mocked, "The most deadly thing is stealthy boasting, so hypocritical!"

Yan Siyuan was indeed very narcissistic.

Scanning through his moments, all you’d see was an array of pretentious posts!

If he wasn’t boasting about attending various activities, he was flaunting his grades, his beautified selfies, his physique, his ten ’White Bone Claws’...

Just by looking at the stuff Yan Siyuan posted, Huo Feng could guess there must be a horde of fan girls mindlessly cheering him on: ’Ah, so handsome, Great God!’ ’Ah, your hands are so pretty!’ ’Siyuan bro, need a girlfriend?’...

Only Huo Feng, with no mercy, left a comment for Yan Siyuan: [Yo, handsome boy~]

"Humph~"

After commenting, Huo Feng snickered, "Disgust you to death!"

While Huo Feng was reveling in his vendetta against Yan Siyuan, Pu Sangzhi emerged from her room, notebook in hand, and sat down beside him.

"Sangzhi ah~"

As soon as he saw her take a seat next to him, Huo Feng immediately freed up one hand, stretching his five slender fingers toward her...

Only to be unceremoniously swatted away!

"I’ve told you, I can touch you, but you’re not allowed to touch me," Pu Sangzhi warned him for what seemed to be the umpteenth time.

Ah...

The aftermath of a forceful kiss!

Huo Feng had completely lost all initiative!

"Ah..."

Huo Feng’s five wriggling fingers formed into claws, trembling incessantly in front of Pu Sangzhi, "You... you heartless woman! It’s all right for the officials to set fires, but the common people can’t even light a lamp!"

Pu Sangzhi’s eyebrows twitched slightly, "You’ve committed a serious offense; this is just a light punishment."

Huo Feng withdrew his hand, pouting, "Even punishments should have a term, right? At least give me some hope..."

Pu Sangzhi shrugged, "The term... depends on the mood of this official here!"

"My lord~"

Suddenly, Huo Feng called out to her in a high-pitched voice, the tone excessively affected, "Oh official Pu, when will you bestow your favor upon me again?"

Pu Sangzhi instantly felt goosebumps and shivered with disgust!

"Disgusting, stop joking around!"

Pu Sangzhi put on a serious face, "I have something important to discuss with you."

"Hmm..."

Huo Feng puffed up his cheeks and propped his head with one hand, a look of dejection on his face as he fixed his gaze on her.

He could guess from his toenails that her so-called important matter must be something dreadful, like a study plan...

Pu Sangzhi started, lifting the notebook, "I’ve drawn up a new study plan for you."

Huo Feng thought to himself: As expected! Such rapport! To know Sangzhi, Huo Feng does too!

Alas...

"Because of the Red May event, the midterm exams will probably be postponed to early or middle May. You know yourself that your last monthly exam results didn’t count, so the midterms are very important. I expect you to be in the top 100."

Pu Sangzhi held up the notebook, glancing at Huo Feng’s anxious face, "From now on, every Saturday and Sunday morning, I’ll tutor you one-on-one. You’ll come to my place on your own; I won’t bother reminding you. Besides that, you’ll have twice-weekly library study sessions..."

"Wait a minute!"

Huo Feng couldn’t help but raise his hand, "I’m currently responsible for our class’s Red May performance, there are rehearsals every afternoon, so this library appointment... let’s cancel it!"

Pu Sangzhi stared at him for a moment before replying, "Alright, we’ll put the library sessions on hold for now."

Huo Feng nodded with furrowed brows, hand on his heart, speaking earnestly, "Truly, in my heart, I really look forward to studying with you at the library! I eagerly await those two days every week! But, as you know... I’m an able person, and our class needs me! Plus, my goal for Red May is to beat you! So, I’ve got to work hard!"

Pu Sangzhi reluctantly despised him for a moment, not engaging in further banter, "Suit yourself. Anyway, our class has prepared a splendid performance this time, so it won’t be easy to beat me."

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, "It won’t be easy for you to beat me either! Remember, if I win, you’ve got to start planning our second date! Yes, schedule a time for it right under that study plan, and let’s make the second date happen."

Pu Sangzhi ignored him and continued with the study plan, "Before the midterms, I’ll focus on tutoring you in liberal arts. After the exams, I’ll concentrate on tutoring you for the three subjects on the proficiency test. Midterms are in May, proficiency tests in June. Time is still tight. So, during this period, you must adopt a serious attitude towards studying! Understand?"

Huo Feng nodded seriously, "Mhm!" Feeling immense pressure!

Pu Sangzhi immediately followed up with, "Don’t be fooled by Chen Ruixiang’s second place in our grade; even his scores are predicted to be short of Tsinghua. Thus, Chen Ruixiang is only a short-term goal and not a suitable benchmark for you. If you aim for Tsinghua, you can consider Yan Siyuan’s grades as a reference. You don’t have to be as good as him, being slightly worse is fine. Oh, right, send me Yan Siyuan’s WeChat later."

"Why?"

Already feeling overwhelmed by the pressure, Huo Feng suddenly tensed when she asked for Yan Siyuan’s WeChat, "Why do you suddenly want his WeChat? Are you planning an affair? Are you trying to steal Xiaocao’s ’cp’?"

Sharing Yan Siyuan’s WeChat with her was something Huo Feng refused to do.

Because the braggadocio in Yan Siyuan’s Moments could easily captivate a girl’s heart!

Moreover, Huo Feng sometimes teased Yan Siyuan in his Moments, annoying Yan Siyuan.

If Pu Sangzhi saw those comments, she would doubt his sexual orientation!

Oh no...

Huo Feng’s image as a staunchly heterosexual man would be in jeopardy!

Pu Sangzhi, of course, had no idea of the concerns running through Huo Feng’s mind. Her intention was straightforward, "Yan Siyuan is a student in Ruizhong’s elite class. I just think he must have access to a lot of teaching materials we cannot reach. Just as Longxiang and Ruizhong schools are always at different levels. Moreover, he is indeed a decent person. If we can get the papers and materials from the elite high school class through him, it’ll be a greater help to you, and to me as well."

"No way!"

Huo Feng shoved his phone into his pocket, crossed his arms, and flatly refused, "If you want study materials from Ruizhong, go ask Xiaocao. Isn’t Xiaocao also from Ruizhong?"

Pu Sangzhi pointed out, "Xiaocao isn’t in the elite class. She’s not in the same class as Yan Siyuan."

Huo Feng, "Even so, no. I won’t let you add him! He’s disgusting! It’s not suitable for you to get involved with him!"

Pu Sangzhi, "..." Seeing right through his petty jealousy.

Huo Feng, "Fine! I’ll ask him for the papers! Is that okay?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "That’s fine."

Huo Feng heaved a huge sigh of relief, feeling fortunate to have dodged a bullet.

Having roughly finished discussing the study plan, Pu Sangzhi finally closed her notebook and sighed toward the sky as if releasing a heart full of melancholy.

Seeing this, Huo Feng finally stopped lounging around.

He hastily sat up, crossed his legs beside her, and asked, "Why the sigh? Don’t you have confidence in me?"

Pu Sangzhi gazed vacantly ahead, but slowly nodded, "Your foundation is too weak; I really don’t have much confidence in you."

Huo Feng patted his chest with a look of determined ambition, "You have to have confidence in me! Look how fast I improved last year! That shows I’m smart! Believe in me, we’ll definitely get into Tsinghua!"

Pu Sangzhi turned her head to glance at him, pulling a reluctant smile, "Huo Feng, if... I mean if, neither of us gets in, or if one of us doesn’t, what will happen to our future?"

"Won’t happen!"

Huo Feng swept away all other possibilities with a wave of his hand, his eyes shining with unwavering resolve, "We’ll definitely get in, together. No ifs, only certainty!"

Seeing his self-assurance, his conviction...

Pu Sangzhi wasn’t sure whether to find him naive or to take him seriously.

After a moment of silence, she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a slow smile and reached out to take Huo Feng’s hand.

Huo Feng quickly reciprocated, gripping her fingers tightly, his bright eyes lingering on her for a long time, "We can definitely do it."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Yeah. I believe in you."

"Mhm!"

Huo Feng nodded as well, suddenly cleared of all laziness plaguing his mind, no longer feeling like resting, "Let’s start the review! I suddenly feel full of fighting spirit! I think I can memorize 200 words in one go! Conquer English!"

Pu Sangzhi said, "You need to speak more English."

Huo Feng, "ok! No, problem!"

Pu Sangzhi, "Good luck."

Huo Feng, "I, LOVE, YOU!"

Pu Sangzhi, "Cut it out..."

Huo Feng laughed out loud, "Off to memorize vocabulary!"
