Chapter 429: 418, Tonight, she said a lot of sweet nothings! (Extra sweet update 1!)_2

...

At this moment, in another part of the city, Huo Feng, who had been waiting for a day, finally received a response from Pu Sangzhi to his Moment!

So happy!

Huo Feng was hit by a barrage of affectionate words!

"Yashi!"

Upon seeing this reply, Huo Feng punched the air with delight! Wearing slippers, he spun around, performing a cool street dance!

For the next 3 minutes, he laughed to himself in his room like a fool, carefree and elated!

In the following 3 minutes, he took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

Then, for the next 10 minutes, he fell into a heart-wrenching dilemma!

Because!

Huo Feng didn’t know how to respond to such a poetic declaration of love!

The previous phrase from Pu Sangzhi, "old mulberry tree knows the wind," had already deeply impressed Huo Feng, who marveled at her literary prowess!

Now, she came up with another, "Knowing I am but a withered leaf on an old mulberry tree, will you guard me until spring warms the blossoms?"...

Damn...

This made the literary-challenged Huo Feng clueless about how to respond properly!

At first, Huo Feng impulsively typed: [Yes!]

After sending it, he immediately deleted it!

Because he felt it was too unsophisticated...

Her question was so beautiful, and his response so plain, it completely exposed his scholastic shortcomings! It also made him an easy target of ridicule for not matching up to Pu Sangzhi’s level!

"Ah, crap, how should I respond to this..."

Huo Feng scratched his head, full of anxiety!

Eventually...

After struggling for ten minutes, Huo Feng took a screenshot and sent the message to Yan Siyuan, seeking help from the top student!

Huo Feng wrote: [Yan Ji, help me out! Think of a beautiful sentence to reply to Sangzhi! I’m literary trash!]

Yan Siyuan, who seemed to always be on his phone, replied instantly: [Trash! Asking someone else to help with love words!]

Huo Feng sent: [(Crying emoji) You can mock me for not deserving Sangzhi, but you can’t deny I’m a science genius! Anyway, stop talking nonsense, and quickly think of something beautiful to say!]

Yan Siyuan replied instantly: [...]

Yan Siyuan: [Trash!]

Yan Siyuan: [Wait...]

Yan Siyuan: ["Old mulberry tree knows the wind" isn’t it a line from "Drinking Horse at the Great Wall Caverns"?]

Huo Feng replied: [Can’t you tell? "Old mulberry tree knows the wind," with ’Sangzhi’ and ’Feng’ obviously, the poet wrote this for the two of us!]

Yan Siyuan: [Heh...]

Yan Siyuan: [You’re shameless, I want to hit you...]

Huo Feng: [Help out, Yan Ji! Brotherly love, Yan Ji! Worth its weight in gold, Yan Ji!]

Yan Siyuan: [Brothers? You and me?]

Huo Feng: [Alright! If not brothers, then bromance it is! I top, you bottom, okay! Help out!]

Yan Siyuan: [Damn it...]

Yan Siyuan: [I’ll help, but shut up. Don’t make me come through the screen to hit you!]

Huo Feng: [(Obedient emoji)]

Although Yan Siyuan was a jerk in talking, he was a man of loyalty!

In 5 minutes, Yan Siyuan replied to Huo Feng with: [I know you are but a withered leaf on an old mulberry tree, I will guard you through all seasons steadfastly, and when spring warms the blossoms, I will still be by your side for eternity.]

"Damn..."

Huo Feng shook his head, admiringly, "As expected from Yan Ji, a master at showing off~"

While saying this, Huo Feng replied to Yan Siyuan: [Praise you to your grandma’s house! Farewell and never return!]

Then, he directly copied and pasted the reply to Pu Sangzhi.

After sending it, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Yep! Daddy’s got that level of cultural savvy, Sangzhi will definitely be shocked by my response~"

At this moment, Huo Feng simply couldn’t wait to see Pu Sangzhi’s reaction to his reply!

So he waited...

Glued to his phone, waiting...

minute...

minutes...

minutes...

minutes...

And yet no response!

Huo Feng’s patience... shattered!

Unable to hold back, he called Pu Sangzhi, and as soon as she answered, he demanded, "Why haven’t you replied to my Moment? Don’t you know I’ve been waiting?"

"I saw the reply..."

On the other end of the phone, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao were sitting on a bench in Jinhe Park that offered a view of the streetlamps and moon aligning into a single line.

At that time, Ye Qingcao was pretending to be a male online friend chatting with Yan Siyuan.

Pu Sangzhi, on the other hand, was on the phone with Huo Feng, casually twirling a leaf in her hand.

Huo Feng asked her, "Then why don’t you reply? I’m waiting!"

Pu Sangzhi lifted her lips, smiling as she said, "Your words weren’t even your own thoughts, what’s there to reply to?"

F*ck...

She’d actually recognized it instantly!

Huo Feng felt a pang of sadness...

"It was my own thoughts!"

Huo Feng brazenly continued, "You just said you wouldn’t look down on me, look, you’re doing it right away!"

Pu Sangzhi chuckled lightly, "I’m not looking down on you."

Huo Feng demanded, "Then reply quickly, you have 2 minutes!"

Pu Sangzhi: "Huo Feng..."

Huo Feng: "What?"

Pu Sangzhi’s eyes shimmered gently as she softly spoke, "I will make myself someone worthy of you."

Huo Feng’s eyebrow arched high in disbelief, "Huh?"

Pu Sangzhi: "You know my family’s situation. But in the future, it will definitely get better."

Huo Feng put on a serious face, "Um..."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, "Let’s take it slow. You wait for me to be strong, I wait for you to mature. We can definitely do it."

Huo Feng’s heart instantly melted into a puddle, feeling all mushy inside, "Ah... The signal’s bad, I didn’t hear it, say it again..."

Pu Sangzhi started to laugh, "Final exams next week, I must get into the top 100!"

"Damn it!"

Huo Feng roared, "We weren’t talking about that just now! Are you poison?!"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "I’ll wait for you to get into Tsinghua, I believe in you."

Huo Feng pouted, dissatisfied, "Alright then, I promise you. Can we switch back to the sweet talk mode, huh?"

Pu Sangzhi: "Next up is Tsinghua mode."

Huo Feng: "..."

How could two words with similar pronunciations hold such different meanings?

...

In the evening, after a stroll around the park, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao went home.

After they washed up quickly, they returned to their rooms and continued chatting...

There’s always an endless amount of things for girls to talk about, so that night Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao chatted for a very, very long time...

They chatted until both were overwhelmed with sleepiness, and Pu Sangzhi, unable to hold on, closed her eyes first, followed by Ye Qingcao.

The next day, at 7:30 AM, clad in sportswear, Pu Sangzhi opened the front door ready for her morning run.

Unexpectedly, upon opening the door, she saw Huo Feng’s figure sitting on the steps!

He was once again sitting at her doorstep, waiting for her...

Looking at his back, Pu Sangzhi’s lips curled up in a warm smile, "Why have you come so early again?"

"Sangzhi!"

Upon hearing her, Huo Feng turned his head. As soon as he saw her, he immediately stood up, his eyes crinkling into arcs as he smiled, "You’re awake? I haven’t been waiting that long~"

"Don’t sit here waiting anymore in the future."

Pu Sangzhi gestured with her eyes towards the steps, "It’s too cold here."

"It’s okay..."

Huo Feng waved his hand, dismissive, "See my sportswear? I came specially to join you for a morning run!"

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, stepping past, "Why would you come specially to join me for a morning run..."

Huo Feng leisurely followed her, unabashedly declaring, "I received too many sweet nothings yesterday, got me all excited! Hey, what was with you yesterday? Did Qingcao infect you? Are you starting to express yourself now? However, you still haven’t told me you like me! That kind of statement is more solid, I want to hear you say it~"

Pu Sangzhi jogged with swinging arms, outright refusing, "Wishful thinking, I won’t say that kind of thing."

"Why not?"

Huo Feng likewise swung his arms, keeping pace as they slowly ran out of the alley, "You have to say it! ’I like you’ — these words are like a reassurance. Saying them would make me feel a lot more secure!"

Pu Sangzhi smirked and didn’t respond to him.

Huo Feng looked at her anxiously, "Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? Silence isn’t golden, silence is a communication barrier! Are you mute or something?"

Pu Sangzhi remained silent, her smile growing wider.

Huo Feng teased, "Are you shy? Should I say it first? I like you, do you like me?"

Huo Feng urged, "Hey, I took the initiative, now it’s your turn to step down the staircase!"

Huo Feng: "Sangzhi?"

Huo Feng: "Pu Mumei? Mistress Eliminator? Dog Sangzhi? dog Sang!"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but push him away, "Don’t you dare call me a dog!"

No matter the nickname, only ’dog’ was unforgivable!
