Chapter 431: 420, Shocking, Huo Feng scored first in the class! (3)

Although Huo Feng was full of resentment, he still accepted the key points that Pu Sangzhi had copied out for him.

The academic pressure was already as heavy as Mount Tai, and now receiving this note, Huo Feng felt he was about to be crushed...

However, later he relied on his iron-strong willpower to cheer up, briskly patting his cheeks, and continued to plunge into his studies.

...

Eventually, the midterms arrived.

They started Wednesday afternoon, and with Thursday and Friday combined, there were ten subjects over two and a half days.

During the midterms, Huo Feng didn’t relax for even a single day.

He frantically seized every bit of time outside his exams to review.

The night before the exams, he’d review the subjects for the next morning.

During lunch on the day of the exam, he’d do a last-minute cram for the subjects in the afternoon.

Over these days, Huo Feng’s basic routine was exam, review, exam, review – truly, he went through a very dark and desperate three days!

He finished two and a half days of exams believing he was in very good shape.

It wasn’t until after the last exam on Friday that Huo Feng dared to relax a bit and let down his guard.

On Friday after school, he went home with Pu Sangzhi.

Walking side by side on the road, their black and red backpacks perched on their contrasting heights, the blue-and-white sporty school uniforms added a youthful vibe to their combined frame at this moment.

Huo Feng took Pu Sangzhi’s hand, lifted it high, and pressed it against his chest, rubbing continuously...

"Finally it’s over... I’m so tired... really tired... Sangzhi..."

Huo Feng, like a child looking for appeasement after the fact, was coaxing Pu Sangzhi for comfort.

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him sideways, actually somewhat speechless.

But, because of her duty in the student council this week, she had seen Huo Feng studying seriously every night.

Indeed, she knew that Huo Feng had put a lot of effort and energy into the midterms.

Thinking about it, she still somewhat comforted Huo Feng, "If you’re that tired, get a good rest tonight after you go home. Don’t review tomorrow morning, come over in the afternoon for tutoring, okay?"

"Ah..."

Huo Feng let out a sigh of regret, "I’ve worked so hard for so long, and you’re only giving me half a morning off..."

Pu Sangzhi frowned, "Then how long do you want? To give you the whole weekend off?"

Huo Feng’s eyes suddenly brightened, staring at her with hopeful eyes.

Pu Sangzhi sighed and said, "If you think you can get an A in all three subjects of the June exams without my supervision, then I’ll let you be. It’s up to you, remember, studying isn’t for me, it’s for yourself."

Pu Sangzhi was saying that kind of thing again.

Alas...

Huo Feng really disliked when Pu Sangzhi talked with that tone, so similar to his dad!

It was absolutely like Huo Mingshan in Pu Sangzhi’s skin!

"Okay then..."

Huo Feng sighed, "I’ll come to you for tutoring tomorrow afternoon. No, tomorrow morning! You promised to give me half the day off, remember! Don’t start implying that studying is ’for my own good’ again!"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, her eyebrows lightly raised, "Fine. Then take tomorrow morning to rest well, sleep in and regain some energy."

"Ah, Sangzhi..."

Huo Feng suddenly seemed very emotional as he called her name.

Pu Sangzhi turned her head in puzzled response, meeting his plaintive gaze squarely.

"You’ve been getting tougher on me lately. Pushing me to study every day, giving me loads of key points, always reminding me of Tsinghua... but you’ve not given me any perks, not even a little!"

Huo Feng’s lips pursed slightly unhappy, his voice tinged with complaint, "You only care about making the ox work, not feeding it. What if one day, this ox collapses from exhaustion, unable to work anymore? Then you’ll regret it..."

Pu Sangzhi barely grasped the point he was trying to make with his strange analogy, "Didn’t I just give you half a day off? Isn’t that enough for a good rest at home? How could you possibly collapse from exhaustion?"

Huo Feng looked at her with a contemptuous expression, "You know what I mean..."

Pu Sangzhi: "I don’t know."

Huo Feng snorted, "Stop playing dumb... You clearly know, I just need a little motivation. The kind that generates power, like love..."

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Huo Feng: "Love, you know? Love~ Do you love me?"

Pu Sangzhi: "..."

Huo Feng: "Look, there you go being silent again! Always silent at crucial times, never ready with a kind word! Not even trying to coddle me, praise me, whisper some sweet nothings..."

Pu Sangzhi finally understood.

He just wanted her to say some sweet things to pamper him...
