Chapter 9: 8, Confessed to? Warned?
Pu Sangzhi was somewhat bewildered.
She was stunned for a moment by Huo Feng's question and continued to be... even moments later.
No… what had he just asked?
Boyfriend? Who was her boyfriend?
Pu Sangzhi glanced around the classroom. She thought that aside from her and Wen Miao, the two girls, wasn't everyone else one of his people?
So, who was he asking about? Wen Miao? Or her?
"Hey, I'm talking to you," Huo Feng said, frowning when he didn't get a reply from her, and asked again.
His domineering face twisted into a fierce expression when his brows furrowed. With his slender, phoenix-shaped eyes, the upturned outer corners made his face seem quite sharp.
Therefore, Huo Feng was shaking with nervousness on the inside, but the expression that came through... was anger.
To others, and even to Pu Sangzhi, it seemed like Huo Feng was menacing her, in a bad mood.
Pu Sangzhi trembled slightly, facing the oppressive aura of Huo Feng, she felt a bit timid, "You, who are you asking?"
"You! Idiot!"
Huo Feng barked at her nervously.
After shouting, he immediately pinched his own thigh hard, regretting it a million times over! So full of regret!
Dammit… nerves turning his mouth to mush! How could he scold her?!
Huo Feng, did you eat shit? Why's your mouth so foul!
"Feng bro…"
Pan Bo couldn't stand Huo Feng's demeanor and couldn't help but lean forward and pushed at Huo Feng's lower back.
"Um, Student Pu, my bro Feng didn't mean it that way," he said.
Seeing Huo Feng's ears secretly flush with nervousness, Pan Bo couldn't watch any longer and quickly attempted to smooth things over, "My bro Feng just wanted to ask, do you have a boyfriend?"
When this question came from Pan Bo, it meant something else entirely.
When Huo Feng asked, it was abrupt and unclear.
When Pan Bo asked, it was as if he was trying to matchmake for Huo Feng.
Hence, Huo Feng hurriedly kept silent and continued to target Pu Sangzhi with his dark and earnest eyes.
At this point, Pu Sangzhi, though she was slow to realize, faintly sensed Huo Feng's true intention in suddenly focusing on her.
Being a good student and not much of a liar, she instinctively shook her head.
Pan Bo immediately laughed, patting Huo Feng's arm, "Hey, Feng bro, she doesn't have a boyfriend."
Huo Feng's facial expression remained as tight as before, with furrowed brows and tensed facial lines. He thought he looked nervous, but others saw it as annoyance.
However, when she admitted that she didn't have a boyfriend, his heart eased a huge sigh of relief.
Another half a minute passed by in silence.
Huo Feng was so nervous he didn't know what to say, and Pu Sangzhi was too scared to utter a word.
With Huo Feng remaining silent, indeed, there were few who dared to make a sound at the scene.
Consequently, the half a minute felt like a century… awkward and lengthy.
"Feng bro, don't just stand there... Didn't you prepare something?" Pan Bo spoke out for the second time.
He gestured behind him quickly, "Lin Dog, bring over Feng bro's backpack."
Lin Yuhao quickly brought over Huo Feng's backpack.
"Feng bro, Feng bro, didn't you prepare it in advance?"
Pan Bo, being the Good Samaritan, opened the backpack and pulled out the love letter that had been stewing in the backpack.
"Feng bro, Feng bro…"
Pan Bo nudged Huo Feng's arm and handed him the letter with a 'silly sweet' grin on his face.
A pink, tender letter… fully expressing Huo Feng's intentions!
Although Huo Feng was too nervous to speak, his gaze was always bold and bare, tirelessly fixed on Pu Sangzhi's face.
To avoid his stare, Pu Sangzhi almost kept her head down the entire time, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
Wen Miao, standing behind Pu Sangzhi, was already stunned.
What she thought was going to be a school violence incident turned out to be just a confession.
This 360° dramatic change in atmosphere turned the tension into an eager anticipation for the unfolding drama!
Outside the classroom, the students waiting for their taekwondo class were also fortunate to witness the School Tyrant's confession.
In no time, everyone swarmed up and gathered at the classroom door.
Pu Sangzhi felt as if the whole world's eyes were focused on her.
How embarrassing...
Huo Feng took another half a minute to calm himself down before he reached out and accepted the love letter Pan Bo handed him.
The next second, he casually held it out to Pu Sangzhi, "Take it."
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, her fists clenched at her side, "I don't want it."
The rejection came both unexpectedly and as anticipated.
Huo Feng's face darkened and he forcefully stuffed the letter into Pu Sangzhi's school uniform pocket.
But no sooner had he done it, than Pu Sangzhi daringly pulled it out again, "Take it back, I don't want it."
"You dare?"
Bowing his head, Huo Feng furrowed his brow, his black pupils staring at her more earnestly and deeply.
Pu Sangzhi looked up to meet his gaze, a pair of eyes radiating a murderous aura with intermittent releases of a dark mist from his body, chillingly dangerous!
Pu Sangzhi was a bit frightened again and she wet her lips, "I... I don't date in high school."
Huo Feng's eyebrows knotted, "Then college."
Pu Sangzhi bit her lip and shook her head, "College won't work either."
A heavy snort escaped Huo Feng's nose, "You dare?" Dare to reject me again and see what happens!
To reject further...
To reject him again would mean losing face and being unable to step down! Leave some room, won't you!
Huo Feng internally raged.
Pu Sangzhi, intimidated by Huo Feng's warning, held the letter in limbo, "I... Anyway, I won't date in high school. I need to study..."
Fortunately, her rejection was not too direct.
Huo Feng took a deep breath again, hands in his pockets, continuing to feign nonchalance, "Just remember, you are my woman, Huo Feng's woman. Even if not now, you will be eventually."
Pu Sangzhi lifted her eyes and couldn't help but retort, "I..."
Before she could finish, Huo Feng suddenly grabbed her mouth with his hand.
The action was so swift it startled everyone present, including Pu Sangzhi, who stared with disbelief.
What in the world was this chicken claw gesture?
How could he just pinch her lips like that?
This isn't how they do it in idol dramas!
"Listen... I, Huo Feng, have taken a liking to you. You say you won't date in high school, then it'll be in college."
With nerves close to snapping, Huo Feng forced himself to keep up a cool, badass demeanor as he flirted hard, "Remember this, date me when you do. And it can only be me! You're mine."
Huo Feng thought his words were incredibly suave! Like something a domineering CEO would say! All his recent research into classic lines from domineering CEOs hadn't been in vain!
But to Pu Sangzhi, it felt... terrifying!
After making his threatening declaration, Huo Feng felt a thrilling tension.
But he feared if he let go, Pu Sangzhi might babble on with rejections...
So, before letting go, he warned her another time, "Take the letter and read it, write back if you have something to say. Don't you dare reply now, understood?"
With emotions stuck in her throat, Pu Sangzhi nodded.
Huo Feng then released her and, without another word, led his ten brothers strutting out of the classroom.
As soon as Huo Feng and his entourage had left, Pu Sangzhi vigorously wiped her mouth, erasing the virus he'd left behind.
She had wanted to throw away the love letter but feared someone else might pick it up and cause unnecessary trouble. So she didn't discard it, but instead stuffed it back into her pocket.
From beside her, Wen Miao put an arm around her shoulder, "This Huo Feng really... even his confessions are like warnings."
Exactly...
Pu Sangzhi truly felt she had been warned, not confessed to!
