Last Friday after school, Huo Feng really didn’t come to look for Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi, feeling cheerful, carried her backpack and happily went home alone.
When she reached the alley of her house, the chubby lady at the grocery store teased Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, didn’t your little boyfriend walk you home?"
Pu Sangzhi’s good mood was thus spoiled.
She carried her backpack and walked up to the chubby lady with a serious face, stood tall, and said with full confidence, "Madam, I don’t have a boyfriend! Please watch your words!"
The chubby lady just laughed it off, "You young girl, still won’t admit it. I understand!"
Pu Sangzhi felt annoyed and continued to argue, "He’s just a classmate, we only study together. And he won’t be coming anymore. Because you adults are such busybodies, I won’t let him come!"
Seeing Pu Sangzhi’s serious face, the chubby lady didn’t dare to tease her anymore.
After Pu Sangzhi finished speaking, she walked away, striding confidently with her backpack, and soon reached home.
At the doorstep, a worker from the shoe factory came to pick up goods and also delivered a new batch of shoe uppers.
Chen Huifen was settling the accounts with the worker, and upon seeing this, Pu Sangzhi walked up and silently stood beside Chen Huifen.
"Hey, your high-achieving daughter is home," the worker Master Cheng greeted with a smile, even asking directly, "Heard she already has a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Chen Huifen merely pursed her lips and smiled.
But Pu Sangzhi immediately retorted, "No, really no!"
She even repeated her answer twice, emphasizing her words.
Worker Master Cheng was one of the less frequently seen people in the area, and Pu Sangzhi hadn’t expected the rumors to have spread to him.
That guy Huo Feng... had his influence been too overwhelming!
Master Cheng laughed heartily, "These days students fall in love early. We as parents should be more open-minded, as long as it doesn’t affect the grades, right? Having a partner in school is actually good. Otherwise, it gets harder to find someone after graduation... My eldest daughter is 30 and still single."
Although Master Cheng didn’t expose Pu Sangzhi outright, the implication in his words was indeed hinting that Pu Sangzhi was in an early romance.
These words were truly uncomfortable for Pu Sangzhi to hear.
She discontentedly pouted, "I’m not in early romance, I don’t have a boyfriend, stop spreading rumors."
Chen Huifen noticed Pu Sangzhi’s displeasure and promptly explained, "My daughter has always been well-behaved and wouldn’t engage in early romance. I’ve met that boy too; he’s just a classmate. Though he’s quite handsome and has a good personality, I guess, he probably doesn’t fancy our Sangzhi."
"I was just saying, don’t take it seriously," Master Cheng laughed again and then steered the conversation back to settling accounts with Chen Huifen. For origınal chapters go to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
After sending off Master Cheng, Pu Sangzhi helped Chen Huifen sort out the newly delivered shoe uppers.
About the topic of Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi made another promise to Chen Huifen: she definitely wouldn’t date Huo Feng and would continue to reject him, telling Chen Huifen not to believe those rumors.
Chen Huifen clearly didn’t care much about it.
She simply told Pu Sangzhi to make her own decisions and that she trusted Pu Sangzhi to handle things well and not act inappropriately.
Only then did Pu Sangzhi finally relax.
Pu Sangzhi also realized today that the rascal Huo Feng had already left a bad impression on many people.
Classmates, parents, neighbors... everyone thought they were dating.
Such influence was truly terrifying, but thankfully she discovered it early.
On Friday night, Huo Feng, unable to walk Pu Sangzhi home, was in a very bad mood.
After dinner, to suppress his sadness, Huo Feng started playing League of Legends with Pan Bo and the others early in the evening.
However, perhaps his luck had been too poor recently. This rare gaming session... ended up with 7 consecutive losses! He even dropped a rank!
Later, Huo Feng became so discouraged that he didn’t even want to play games anymore.
He turned off his computer and lay flat on his bed with a sorrowful face, picking up his phone to look for a date.
Huo Feng couldn’t calm down; he needed to find something to do urgently.
Now, whenever his mind quieted down, he would think of Pu Sangzhi, and he wanted to see Pu Sangzhi!
To stop himself from doing something foolish, Huo Feng forcefully arranged a night of karaoke, calling up Pan Bo, Gu Yang, Lin Yuhao, and about ten other buddies, even agreeing to let them bring girls.
Luckily, he was quite popular among these guys, so when he called, they all came out.
So, at 10 PM, in the large private room of Tangxia Blue Giant Star KTV, a group of ruffians and tomboys gathered together.
Huo Feng was a bit careful and also invited Lin Qianqian. Of course, he hinted to Lin Qianqian to bring Pu Sangzhi along.
At 10 PM, Lin Qianqian, carrying her backpack, knocked on Pu Sangzhi’s home door.
At this time, Pu Sangzhi had just washed her hair and bathed, and faced her with wet hair and a puzzled look.
"Sister Sangzhi, let’s go sing!" Lin Qianqian invited with a smile.
Pu Sangzhi turned to look at the wall clock in her house with surprise, "Miss, it is 10 PM now."
"Yes! The night life of young people is just starting!"
Lin Qianqian twisted her neck, her face beaming with a smile, "Look, my parents are out delivering goods tonight, I can stay out very late! Also, tell your aunt that I’m afraid to sleep alone at home, so you’re coming to my place to spend the night together, then you can go out with me!"
Lin Qianqian had already thought of a perfect reason for Pu Sangzhi, a fail-proof one! Everything was set up, just waiting for Pu Sangzhi to nod in agreement.
But how could Pu Sangzhi possibly agree!
"I’m not going. It’s better if you don’t go either, it’s dangerous for a girl to be out so late," Pu Sangzhi warned her.
"It won’t be, it’s just a gathering with people we know. Plus, there are lots of handsome guys, I even brought makeup!"
Lin Qianqian covered her mouth giggling softly, "We’ll dress up when we get there!"
Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi’s brows tightened even more, "Who exactly are you meeting? They’re not good people, are they?"
Lin Qianqian clapped her hands, "He rarely asks me out! And there are a bunch of his buddies! Such a great opportunity, I have to seize it!"
As expected, not a good person!
