Chapter 417: 409. Huo Feng is Jealous! (2)

At 7:30 PM, following an intensely hot opening dance, the Red May Cultural Festival officially began.

In the midst of exhilarating music, the male and female hosts, Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie, slowly took to the stage.

The handsome man and beautiful woman stood at the center of the stage, several spotlights shining on them, instantly making them the dazzling focal point.

According to the script rehearsed earlier, Pu Sangzhi was the first to lift the microphone and began hosting, "Respected leaders, dear teachers."

Zhao Jiajie interjected, "Dear students."

Together, they declared, "Everyone—good evening!"

Pu Sangzhi said, "May is fiery, May is full of vitality, and May is also a season rich with poetry."

Zhao Jiajie said, "At this moment, as we all share this passionate May, we will weave our youth with dreams and rainbows, without regrets!"

Pu Sangzhi said, "Today, as we gather here, we will sow the seeds of hope with our wisdom and passion!"

All these lines were found online by Zhao Jiajie, who after some editing, divided them evenly with Pu Sangzhi.

As a partner, Pu Sangzhi was quite grateful for Zhao Jiajie’s arrangement and his meticulous guidance, which helped her, who had never hosted a major program before, quickly find her footing.

At the start, Pu Sangzhi was in great form.

Because earlier backstage, Zhao Jiajie had given her lots of encouragement and even taught her how to relax before going on stage.

Consequently, after a smooth opening, the level of hosting by the male and female hosts captivated the stage.

Thus, the Red May Cultural Festival officially kicked off!

After several school leaders delivered their speeches, the first round of the choir competition officially began.

The class choir was a mandatory group activity for every class in the first and second years of senior high. Moreover, the choir events for these two years were ranked and involved post-competition prize money.

The order on stage was determined earlier by the order in which each class drew lots, with the second-year classes going before the first-year ones.

For this reason, Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie divided up the task, with each taking one of the sections to host.

Since Sangzhi was hosting the second-year segment alone, and Zhao Jiajie was hosting the second-year segment alone, this arrangement gave them ample time to change into their choir uniforms and participate in the class choir.

While the 12 second-year classes were on stage singing, Huo Feng, who had nothing else to do, stayed backstage with Pu Sangzhi, despite her being busy.

Zhao Jiajie had gone to change his clothes, and Pu Sangzhi was in charge of cueing, with each class having lines, so she was very busy.

Seeing her work so hard, Huo Feng wanted to do something for her.

Thus, after she had cued one scene, Huo Feng quickly brought a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her behind the curtains, "Sangzhi, tired? Have some water."

"I won’t drink; my lipstick will come off."

Pu Sangzhi, busy looking at the cue script for the next scene, declined Huo Feng’s offer.

"Drink a bit, you just spoke so much."

"No need, go sit over there."

Pu Sangzhi declined and continued to look down at her script.

Seeing her so busy, Huo Feng had no choice but to turn and leave, going to sit backstage.

At that moment, Huo Feng, out of boredom, was sitting backstage either sneakily taking photos of Pu Sangzhi with his phone, or taking photos of both of them together for a distant selfie.

However, just as he was engrossed with trying to capture a joint photo with Pu Sangzhi, suddenly, Zhao Jiajie’s form appeared on his phone screen.

"Tch!"

Huo Feng immediately frowned, set down his phone, and turned his head towards Pu Sangzhi.

He saw there, Zhao Jiajie, who had changed into his choir costume, standing next to Pu Sangzhi and whispering in her ear.

The whispering gesture was too intimate; Pu Sangzhi didn’t push him away, and such a scene was indeed irritating to Huo Feng’s eyes!

"What the heck..."

Huo Feng couldn’t bear it any longer, turned around, and avoided the annoying sight.

But within a few seconds of turning, his heart itched unbearably, and he turned his head back, his face filled with displeasure as he took in the scene again.

So irritating...

Ah...

He felt like hitting someone...

Huo Feng clenched the chair tightly, gritting his teeth.

He didn’t know what Zhao Jiajie and Pu Sangzhi were talking about, as they exchanged words for the duration of an entire song, only ending their conversation when Pu Sangzhi had to leave with her script to announce the next performance.

Huo Feng felt slightly better only after he saw them part ways...

Tonight, Pu Sangzhi was very busy.

As the host for the evening, she hardly had a moment of rest, constantly going out to announce the next act.

Tonight, Huo Feng was quite free.

He had just two events and only needed to prepare for them shortly before they were due to start.

Tonight, Huo Feng had no mood to enjoy the events outside; all his attention was backstage, focused on Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie.

It wasn’t easy for Huo Feng to wait until Pu Sangzhi finished hosting the sophomore choir program. Next up was the freshman choir program, and Pu Sangzhi didn’t need to host anymore; Zhao Jiajie would take over.

Huo Feng thought Pu Sangzhi would finally be free, so he immediately grabbed a bottle of mineral water and stood up to find her, "Sangzhi, you’re finally free, have some water."

"No need, I have to change my clothes. Our class is third in line."

But Pu Sangzhi couldn’t relax. While replying, she hurriedly lifted her dress hem and frantically searched for her backpack to get ready to change into her class choir uniform.

"Sangzhi, aren’t we third? No rush, just chat with me..."

Huo Feng, with his hands in his pockets, followed behind her and spoke in a frustrated tone, "Why didn’t you tell me that your co-host was Zhao Jiajie?"

"Huh?"

In a flurry, Pu Sangzhi found her backpack on the couch and slung it over her shoulder.

She was so busy that she almost had no time to listen to Huo Feng’s words.

"I mean, why didn’t you tell me your co-host was Zhao Jiajie? Also, you’re too close with him. Don’t the other students mind?" Huo Feng complained.

Pu Sangzhi did hear these words.

However, she was in too much of a hurry to care much. She just patted Huo Feng on the shoulder and said, "There’s nothing between the senior and me. Don’t overthink it; I need to go change."

After saying that, Pu Sangzhi, with her backpack and holding up her dress hem, hurried to the backstage bathroom to change.

Huo Feng sighed helplessly and stepped forward, saying loudly at the bathroom door, "I know you’re busy. After it’s over, just check the school group yourself."

"Check what?"

Inside the bathroom, Pu Sangzhi’s hurried voice echoed out.

"Just go and see for yourself."

Huo Feng pouted and said, "I’m leaving now, won’t disturb you."

In the bathroom, Pu Sangzhi’s hand, pulling up the zipper, paused as she raised her eyes to meet her reflection in the mirror, her gaze hesitating for several seconds...

Suddenly, Pu Sangzhi felt uneasy, and turning around, she opened the bathroom door to see what mood Huo Feng was in.

But by the time she opened the door, Huo Feng was no longer there.

"Huo Feng?"

Pu Sangzhi peered out and called Huo Feng’s name.

But there was no response...

"Angry?"

Pu Sangzhi sighed, "What’s there to be angry about? Is he really that jealous?"

Pu Sangzhi did care about Huo Feng’s temperament, but she didn’t have time to look for him due to her tight schedule.

Thinking this, Pu Sangzhi turned back into the bathroom to change her clothes first.

...

Late Nortoncheckarser, Pu Sangzhi was still very busy.

After their class choir was done, she wanted to find time to look for Huo Feng, but it was almost time for Huo Feng’s class to perform, so Pu Sangzhi didn’t get a chance to find him.

Afterwards, Pu Sangzhi continued to be busy.

The New Year’s performance continued on, and finally it was past the first and second year choir performances, and it was already approaching 9 PM.

The following segments included only twelve first-year classes, so it would go by relatively fast, expected to end before 10:30 PM.

Late Nortoncheckarser on, as hosts, Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie remained busy.

For this type of performance, both of them would come out together to introduce the next act with a series of serious yet humorous dialogues.

Once busy, Pu Sangzhi then had even less time to think about Huo Feng.

Thus, after changing into his performance outfit, Huo Feng sat in the audience, sternly ’admiring’ the interaction between Pu Sangzhi and Zhao Jiajie on stage.

Really damn envious...

And really pissed off...

Really wanted to rush up there, either drag that annoying Zhao Jiajie down, or Pu Sangzhi.

Either of them could stand on the stage, just didn’t want to see them together up there.

And all that interaction...

If you’re hosting, just announce the program names, why hold a conversation?

Pu Sangzhi even laughed...

Seeing her laugh with Zhao Jiajie, Huo Feng felt terribly uncomfortable all over, truly a heart-wrenching discomfort!

"Bro Feng, our act is up soon."

At this moment, Pan Bo bumped Huo Feng’s elbow, "Should we start getting ready?"

"Yes." Huo Feng responded.
