After being nagged all day, Pu Sangzhi now felt genuinely neurasthenic at the sight of Huo Feng.
Was he really so idle that he had nothing better to do than to hound her all day, trying desperately to please her? Did he have to spend his time on this?
Pu Sangzhi really wanted to give him a proper lesson and teach him what should be the most important thing for a student!
Turning around, Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and looked at him solemnly.
Huo Feng was still in his usual, ruffian-like demeanor, leaning against the pillar with a mischievous smile, responded, "Hmm?"
Pu Sangzhi sighed softly, "I will say it again, I do not date in high school."
Since yesterday, Huo Feng had heard this sentence 28 times, now 29.
This was the only reason Pu Sangzhi used to reject him, and Huo Feng had already found a countermeasure.
So, he replied in a very familiar tone, "I know, I remembered. If high school isn't okay, let's date in university. I'll prepare in advance for a few years, and we can officially start dating after university."
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, her expression very serious, "It's not possible even in university."
Huo Feng's face stiffened for a moment, but it was only for a moment, he quickly went back to his usual self and smirked, "Why not? Isn't three years enough to win you over?"
Pu Sangzhi's gaze darkened, her tone suddenly rose, "Can you even get into Tsinghua?"
This question instantly froze the smug smile on Huo Feng's face.
For a moment, he couldn't think of anything that could counter this reason for her rejection.
And in fact, there really was no condition that could cope with her reason for refusal.
A university where only the top students among high achievers could get in.
Huo Feng recalled how recently at his family's dinner table, his father Huo Mingshan had boasted to his mother that Pu Sangzhi would be the only student from Longxiang High School with a ninety percent certainty of getting into Tsinghua University. Follow current novᴇls on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
This year's high school entrance exam had a perfect score of 670, and Pu Sangzhi achieved the city's highest score of 656. Exceptional as she was, she had openly shared with Huo Mingshan before entering Longxiang High School... her aspiration to attend Tsinghua University.
And Huo Mingshan had confidently promised her that he would dedicate his effort to cultivate her for these three years to help her get into Tsinghua.
So it was only at this moment that Huo Feng realized... the distance between him and Pu Sangzhi wasn't about affection, it was about Tsinghua!
Pu Sangzhi, seeing Huo Feng at a loss for words, sighed in relief inwardly, then continued with a stern face, "Tsinghua is my goal for these three years, so I will not date in high school."
Turning around, Pu Sangzhi showed him a cold, stunning profile, "As for whether I will date in university and whether it will be you, please first get into Tsinghua before saying anything. If you cannot even pass the threshold of the university, then there's no point in discussing further."
After saying this, Pu Sangzhi started to walk away.
She had just taken two steps when Huo Feng looked like he was about to follow, but she suddenly stopped.
Huo Feng watched her back, his face growing awkward.
Pu Sangzhi then said, "Also, stop disturbing my life from now on. My high school life is only about studying, nothing else."
Only after this last statement did Pu Sangzhi stride away, running freely.
Huo Feng really wanted to follow her, but he just couldn't make himself move, frozen in place.
The hand by his side clenched into a fist, his chest filled with frustration and his face tinged with anger.
When his frustration and anger were not directed at Sangzhi, but at himself.
He valued Pu Sangzhi highly, liked her deeply, and was willing to expend a lot of effort to chase her, just to be with her.
But now, he realized that he, Huo Feng, couldn't even reach the threshold to chase her.
She was the top student, the diligent student, the top talent in the city.
And he, Huo Feng, was just someone who had repeated a year in ninth grade and barely got admitted with a score of 520.
They really weren't cut from the same cloth.
He, Huo Feng... the gap between them was huge.
