Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 299 - 292, Peaceful, warm night! (2)

Huo Feng saw that Pu Sangzhi stayed silent, so he persistently asked again, "Did you enjoy today’s surprise?"

Pu Sangzhi had intentionally ignored him initially, unaware that he would shamelessly ask yet again.

She could no longer ignore him and simply nodded, "Mhm."

Huo Feng pressed further, "What does ’mhm’ mean? Happy or not happy?"

After his third question, Pu Sangzhi realized... she couldn’t just brush him off!

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and could only earnestly respond, "Happy."

"Really happy?"

Huo Feng propped his chin with one hand, his lips curling up because of her reply, "If you liked it, I shall continue to strive and give you more surprises."

Pu Sangzhi’s chopsticks paused, and she couldn’t help but frown slightly, her face a picture of helplessness as she looked at Huo Feng beside her.

Actually, hearing Huo Feng say such things touched her deeply.

But, the dining table wasn’t only occupied by the two of them...

This was quite inconsiderate of the feelings of others, wasn’t it?

Meeting her gaze, Huo Feng continued with a smile, "After the New Year comes Valentine’s Day. How do you want to celebrate? I’ll listen to your plans."

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help it any longer, she could only feign a cough and said, "Eat your food, stop talking."

When she said this, Pu Sangzhi even hinted with her eyes to pay some attention to Ye Xi and Ye Qingcao sitting opposite them.

At this table, it really wasn’t just the two of them...

Catching her hint, Huo Feng then turned his head back with a smile and started eating.

"Brother, I heard you are at Tsinghua now, is that right?"

Huo Feng initiated a conversation with Ye Xi, aiming to foster good relations.

Ye Xi responded politely, "Mhm."

Huo Feng asked further, "I’ve heard that there are more science students at Tsinghua. I’ve already decided, I want to study computer programming there in the future. What do you think of this major? Do you have any experience to share with me?"

Ye Xi thought for a moment, then replied, "The computer science department is indeed quite good, more popular than the biology department. If you’ve made up your mind, that’s great..."

Soon after, the conversation gradually unfolded...

The atmosphere at the dining table was harmonious, with Huo Feng, skilled in social interactions, setting the pace.

Whether it was Ye Xi, Ye Qingcao, or anyone else, there wasn’t anyone Huo Feng couldn’t connect with if he wished.

Thus, the meal was quite enjoyable, and no issues arose.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of Tangxia Town, Pan Bo had also dropped Wen Miao off at her residential complex.

It was still early, not even 6 PM yet.

However, since it was winter, the sky had already darkened completely, and the streetlights illuminated the whole area, creating a late-night atmosphere.

Wen Miao got out of the car, removed her helmet, and handed it back to Pan Bo, "Thank you. I had a lot of fun today."

Wen Miao really did have fun today.

Because today, for the first time in her 16 years of life, she felt like she truly lived like a girl.

She did her makeup, wore a wig, dressed in a skirt, acted ladylike for a change, was asked for photos by many anime fans, and added some on QQ...

All this attention and a different experience made her day genuinely enjoyable.

For Wen Miao, it was an extraordinarily different day.

Therefore, Wen Miao thanked Pan Bo.

She should have thanked everyone, and thanked Sangzhi as well for pulling her into this group. But now, standing before her was only Pan Bo, so she could only thank him.

But at this moment, Pan Bo was not in a great mood.

Strictly speaking, after he realized he had been played by Han Feiyi at the anime exhibition, Pan Bo’s mood had never improved.

Surprisingly receiving thanks from Wen Miao, Pan Bo was a bit stunned.

He managed a weak smile to Wen Miao, "Don’t mention it, I’m glad you were happy."

"Mm... actually, today was my first time wearing a skirt and my first time doing makeup. It was my first time having this kind of experience, and it really felt quite nice."

Wen Miao nodded, struggling to explain a bit, "So... um, you know. I thank you, and I thank all of you, for letting me truly be a girl for once."

Having spoken, Wen Miao, who usually maintained a calm demeanor, flashed a cold smile on her face.

Her smile was quite spirited, lacking the sweet feel of a young girl.

However, seeing her so happy, Pan Bo felt somewhat guilty.

"I’m sorry, I hardly took you out today. When I picked you up this morning, I said we were going to have fun, but I ended up neglecting you all day," Pan Bo apologized to her.

Wen Miao quickly countered, "No, I really had a lot of fun today. Many people asked me for photos together, and I have many selfies on my phone. The memories from today are wonderful, and I will miss this day in the future."

Pan Bo frowned with guilt, "Ah, you dressed up so beautifully today, and I didn’t even take a single photo with you. What a pity."

Wen Miao was made a bit embarrassed by Pan Bo’s words; she reached up to adjust her short hair and said, "Well... maybe another time. Today, you had someone even prettier by your side, right? Having Han Feiyi, a beauty like her, it’s normal you’d forget about me."

"Ah..."

Speaking of Han Feiyi, Pan Bo couldn’t help but sigh deeply, "Don’t mention her. Calling her over today wasn’t for anything good."

Wen Miao was somewhat surprised, "What do you mean?"

That afternoon, when Han Feiyi suddenly joined their group, everyone could see that she and Pan Bo were likely to become a couple.

Because Pan Bo stayed close by Han Feiyi the whole time, appearing as if he was pursuing her.

Wen Miao naturally thought the same.

She believed that Pan Bo must have been happy today since he was at least spending time with the girl he liked.

Little did she know, by the end of the day, Pan Bo would conclude otherwise.

Wen Miao truly didn’t know what had happened.

With a long sigh, Pan Bo openly told her, "Today, I realized that Han Feiyi was actually interested in Huo Feng. This afternoon, as soon as Huo Feng left, she followed him. And there I was, foolishly helping her with games, thinking she had just gone to the restroom..."

Wen Miao recalled the situation, then suggested, "Maybe she really did go to the restroom?"

"How could it be such a coincidence."

Pan Bo showed a bitter smile, "Actually, I had been talking with her for quite some time before that, and we always had good conversations."

Wen Miao listened quietly, not interrupting.

"A while ago, I mentioned that I wanted to pursue her, but every time I said that, she would ignore me for a while. Later, I stopped bringing it up, thinking it was better to take it slow. But as time passed, I noticed she often liked talking about topics related to Huo Feng. Like this comic convention. I initially asked her to come, but she refused. It was only last night when I told her Huo Feng was leading our group of eleven for a cosplay, that she decided she wanted to come..."

At this point, Pan Bo couldn’t help but sigh again, "Actually, during our chats, I had already started to suspect that. I’ve been wondering recently if she might like Huo Feng. Today it seems, she really does. It’s a good thing Huo Feng is committed to his girlfriend. Otherwise, I might have been making the bridal dress for someone else. I was thinking, if Huo Feng actually started dating her, I might not even want to continue being friends with him. Thankfully, Huo Feng has his girlfriend, which somewhat eases my mind."

"Hmm..."

Wen Miao began to understand what Pan Bo was saying.

It was only now that she realized Pan Bo and Han Feiyi had been in a somewhat ambiguous relationship for some time, and she had merely used him.

Wen Miao didn’t know what to say about it.

Now, she could only feel that Pan Bo was quite pitiable.

"So, are you heartbroken now?" Wen Miao asked him.

Pan Bo cracked a smile, "Does it count? I didn’t even get to start a relationship..."

Wen Miao crossed her arms and looked at him, "Are you feeling upset now?"

Pan Bo nodded, "Yeah, not feeling too good. Just forcing a smile..."

Suddenly, Wen Miao snapped her fingers, "I have a way to cure your bad mood."

Pan Bo: "Huh?"

Wen Miao patted Pan Bo’s shoulder, "Pull over to the side, and come with me."

Pan Bo was instantly confused, "Huh? Why? Where are we going?"

Wen Miao lifted her chin forward motioning, "Ahead, my family’s martial arts gym."

Pan Bo turned his head and stared at the large sign across the street...

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, feeling like he was being led into a trap...

Behind him, Wen Miao’s voice came through, "Get out of the car, I’m going to take you for a thrill."

Pan Bo gave an awkward laugh, "Maybe we shouldn’t..."

Wen Miao insisted, "Trust me, I promise you’ll feel better."

Pan Bo: "..." Do I need to learn about German orthopedics for a potential fracture?

Hmm...
