Chapter 280: 274, Wife Sings, Husband Follows! (2)
Pu Sangzhi always had the ability to make him bristle with one sentence and soothe him with another.
Originally, because of the dog Ye Xi’s uninvited visit, Huo Feng had been harboring a storm of emotions, teetering on the edge of an outburst.
However, with just one sentence from Pu Sangzhi...
Just that slightly nicer sentence!
All of Huo Feng’s emotions melted into a puddle...
Done for...
Being so easily pacified by her, did he have any dignity left as a man?
Forget it...
Such things were too extravagant in front of that woman, Pu Sangzhi.
Who made him the one who loved more? The loved one is fearless...
Huo Feng sighed inwardly, feeling helpless, and also blaming himself for not standing firm.
By his side, Pu Sangzhi saw that he had fallen into deep thought. Following that, she also fell silent for a moment, waiting for him to speak.
So, there was a long 3-minute silence between the two of them...
Out on the open ground, Ye Qingcao was teaching a lesson to 10 brothers.
In another corner, Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were doing their winter vacation homework.
Pu Sangzhi hugged her backpack, quietly surveying the harmonious surroundings, while waiting for Huo Feng to regain his composure.
Finally, after a mutual 3-minute silence, Huo Feng reached out and grabbed her sleeve...
Although it was a small gesture, it was his way of silently showing his vulnerability.
Pu Sangzhi looked down to see his long fingers clutching her cuff, her lips curving slightly as she said, "Not angry anymore?"
Huo Feng’s gleaming eyes gently lifted to meet her bright ones, and at that moment, he was touched by the just-right warm smile on her face.
As expected, he softened in an instant...
Huo Feng had long known that his feeble self simply couldn’t resist even the slightest of Pu Sangzhi’s conciliatory approaches!
Huo Feng sighed, saying helplessly, "It’s just that I can’t stay mad at you... You, I can’t afford to provoke."
Pu Sangzhi laughed at his words, "Don’t talk nonsense, you’re the real gangster."
Huo Feng too smiled with a shake of his head, "You always accuse first. Clearly you made me angry, then went home to your mom first, utterly heartless."
Pu Sangzhi pouted, then patted her backpack, "I’m also angry, I want to go home. I demand you take me home now!"
Huo Feng clicked his tongue, "Still making a scene?"
Pu Sangzhi smiled, "So, are you going to take me or not?"
Huo Feng snatched her backpack, holding it in his arms like a scoundrel, and said, "No."
Pu Sangzhi stated, "You picked me up, so you’re responsible for taking me back."
Huo Feng replied, "We haven’t finished tutoring yet..."
Pu Sangzhi insisted, "So what?"
Huo Feng laughed helplessly, "Alright, I shouldn’t have gotten angry, I admit my mistake, I apologize to you, don’t be angry anymore. Didn’t we just say we should make up..."
Pu Sangzhi was relieved that Huo Feng’s temper was quick to come and go.
And she was even more grateful that Huo Feng listened to what she said.
Thus, she happily exclaimed, "What about the apology?"
Huo Feng’s eyebrows furrowed, "Sorry, Your Highness! I was wrong, I made you unhappy! Alright?"
Pu Sangzhi started to laugh, "That’ll do."
Huo Feng gave her a sidelong glance, sighing, "You, you’re really too much. It should be you apologizing to me instead; I’m the injured party."
Pu Sangzhi countered, "I won’t apologize. It’s you who doesn’t trust me."
Huo Feng said, "Hey, and how am I supposed to trust you? You liked someone for several years, yet you never said you liked me."
Sensing that he was going off track, Pu Sangzhi hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop him, "Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s turn the page on this matter! In the future, if you run into Brother Ye Xi again, just do like I do..."
Huo Feng immediately frowned, feeling irritated again, "What? Like him as you do?"
Pu Sangzhi clarified, "Like I do, see him as a brother!"
Huo Feng: "..."
To prevent Huo Feng from feeling jealous for the second, third, or an endless number of times, Pu Sangzhi decided to use this occasion of his anger to clear up everything all at once.
Misunderstandings need to be explained; without clarification, they’ll snowball, becoming bigger and eventually causing an avalanche that breaks relationships apart.
Pu Sangzhi didn’t want Ye Xi to be the reason for a rift in her relationship with Huo Feng.
So at this moment, she straightforwardly told Huo Feng, "Now, Brother Ye Xi is just a brother to me, a brother not related by blood but still very dear. In the future, I will only see him as a brother. So you too, you should call him ’Bro’ together with me, and show him respect. Can you do that?"
"I can."
Huo Feng agreed, "Call you as requested, right? Okay, from now on, I’ll call you as requested."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t expect him to agree so readily and couldn’t help but doubt whether he was just humoring her, "Are you sure you can do it?"
"Of course..."
Huo Feng replied, "After all, from now on, I’ll just call you as agreed. I’ll call you that when I see your mom, when I see your aunt, and when I see your grandma... Anyway, we’re one and the same now, right? Husband follows the wife’s lead..."
Pu Sangzhi: "Hey..."
Huo Feng laughed: "That’s what you mean, right?"
Pu Sangzhi: "You’re being unreasonable!"
By this point, Huo Feng was in excellent spirits; all the irritability and emotions from a few minutes ago had vanished, "Since you already consider me family, what else do I have to say? I’ll call you as you wish, I’m more than happy to."
Pu Sangzhi: "Hey..."
Huo Feng: "Hey, wifey."
Pu Sangzhi: "..."
Thus, the two of them talking and laughing, swiftly returned to their originally harmonious relationship.
The morning tutoring session, despite a brief unpleasant interlude, ended harmoniously in the end.
...
After the morning tutoring was over, Huo Feng led a group to his grandfather’s house for lunch at noon.
Shen Jianhua loved the lively atmosphere at home.
In the middle of the day, after sharing a couple of drinks with the boys, he laughed heartily and went upstairs to sleep.
Once the adults at home had left, Shen Nuan naturally joined the group, pulling up a stool next to Lin Yuhao to eat together.
A group of them started discussing the Comic Con they were going to attend at the Wenzhou Convention and Exhibition Center the next day.
Comic Con is a place for comic fans from all fields to socialize.
Those who love cosplay and the second dimension, especially photographers, generally wouldn’t miss out on Comic Con, especially the large ones.
The Comic Con at the Wenzhou Convention and Exhibition Center wasn’t considered large scale, but it was very convenient for local Wenzhou students to attend.
Ye Qingcao had been looking forward to this Comic Con for a long time.
Because she had found out early that her idol would definitely be attending this Comic Con!
Wherever Yan Siyuan was, Ye Qingcao would be there too!
So, the most enthusiastic person in today’s noon discussion was Ye Qingcao herself.
Since they were talking about going to the Comic Con as a group, this mixed gathering of boys and girls couldn’t just show up casually.
Huo Feng, who always loved to stir things up, naturally wanted to make a big deal out of this Comic Con trip.
So he suggested, "Is anyone up for cosplaying tomorrow? We’ve got so many people going, we can’t just be there to shop, right? We definitely need some fun!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ye Qingcao replied enthusiastically from the side, "What are you all cosplaying as? Do you have outfits? I have a lot of cosplay clothes, do you want some sponsorship from me?"
Huo Feng directly asked her, "How many? Whose are they? Do you have any for girls?"
Ye Qingcao nodded proudly, "Yes! Sailor Moon! Maid outfits! Traditional Chinese dresses! Hanfu! Anyone want to wear them?"
As she asked, Ye Qingcao decisively grabbed Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, let’s wear them together! I’ll wear it if you join me, otherwise I don’t have the courage!"
Pu Sangzhi, who disliked such ostentatious attention-seeking methods, immediately shook her head in refusal, "No, thanks. I don’t like it..."
Ye Qingcao then turned to Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao, "Dandan, Wen Miao, and whoever’s girlfriend, Sangzhi doesn’t like cosplay, so you two join me! I’m too scared to wear it alone!"
Shen Nuan, Zhu Dandan, and Wen Miao were very interested in this kind of special dress-up and show off...
So, at Ye Qingcao’s invitation, Shen Nuan and Zhu Dandan immediately nodded in agreement, "Sure!"
Wen Miao, who was more reserved, still hesitated a bit, "I’ll think about it..."
Zhu Dandan nudged Wen Miao, "What’s there to think about? Don’t think, just join us! Together, together~"
"Yeah! Let’s all girls do it!"
Ye Qingcao said excitedly, "It’s rare to cosplay, it’ll be so lively!"
Upon Zhu Dandan’s passionate invitation, Wen Miao pretended to be troubled as she frowned, then agreed, "All right."
So, at this point, Pu Sangzhi was the only girl who hadn’t agreed.
Huo Feng seized the opportunity to whisper in Pu Sangzhi’s ear, "Sangzhi, are you really not going to dress up?"
Pu Sangzhi still shook her head, "No, it’s too much trouble."
Huo Feng persisted, "I’m cosplaying tomorrow too, why don’t you join me?"
Pu Sangzhi was surprised, "You?"
Huo Feng nodded, "Mhm."
