Chapter 657: 644, you are my pride! (1)
Pu Sangzhi had not expected that after all the twists and turns, Dandan would end up with Gu Yang...
If she had known it was Gu Yang from the start, she really shouldn’t have gotten involved with Wang Chao.
Both being Huo Feng’s brothers, she feared it might hurt their feelings towards each other.
However, no one could be certain about such early knowledge...
In the world of feelings, there is no first or last, only right and wrong.
Pu Sangzhi had heard Zhu Dandan talk a lot about Gu Yang’s affection and kindness towards her, and she thought to herself that Gu Yang must really like her.
That was good.
Only love that is mutually cherished can last forever.
Pu Sangzhi also gave them her blessings.
...
At 5:30 PM, the girls, with their makeup done, left their homes and took tricycles to Tangxia Grand Hotel.
The graduation banquet was set to take place around 6:30 PM. They arrived early because, as class officers, they needed to help the class leader, Wu Beilei, with the evening’s arrangements.
Class leader Wu Beilei had truly dedicated herself for three years, contributing a great deal to the class, and was still giving it her all until the very end.
Under Wu Beilei’s direction, Pu Sangzhi and the others prepared for the evening’s events and activities, along with the small gifts and speeches, while the rest of the classmates had not yet arrived—hurriedly setting everything up took considerable time.
After all, this was their class’s final meeting, and everyone was as busy and agitated as their own states of mind, full of passion and enthusiasm.
Their class meeting was held in the Auspicious Hall of Tangxia Grand Hotel.
In the Ruyi Hall next door, the students of class 7, who were Huo Feng’s classmates, were also busily preparing for the evening’s event.
Huo Feng, with a microphone in hand, led his ten "sons," the class officers, organizing the night’s activities with zeal.
For them, the last class meeting of the graduation season was the most worthwhile party to fuss over.
Fate would eventually dissipate right here.
At 6:30 PM, the students from the two classes took their seats as planned.
Simultaneously, in different banquet halls, the two classes began their meetings.
While the servers brought out the dishes, class leader Wu Beilei from class one took the microphone to the podium. Next door, in class seven, it was Huo Feng holding the microphone, and a remarkable speech kickstarted the graduation banquet...
Both classes had also prepared several performances for everyone to enjoy while eating. The performing students would also receive small gifts.
The whole evening was arranged to be colorful and bountiful.
Midway through the meal, students got up from their tables one after another, each holding a glass to toast their teachers, expressing their gratitude for the heartfelt treatment over the past three years.
Pu Sangzhi, who had eaten until she was seventy per cent full, stopped there to save some room—she was ready to go and toast Huo Mingshan.
Huo Mingshan was Pu Sangzhi’s mentor for the past three years, the teacher she most wanted to thank in her life.
Holding a glass in one hand and a beer in the other, Pu Sangzhi, along with Wen Miao and Zhu Dandan, got up from her table and approached Huo Mingshan first.
It was also Pu Sangzhi who greeted Huo Mingshan first, "Mr. Huo, I’d like to give you a toast."
That day, Huo Mingshan, whose mood was excellent, looked at his students, and each one was so happy...
Especially when he saw Pu Sangzhi, his eyes nearly crinkled into a line as he smiled, "Sangzhi, you’re here."
Huo Mingshan, holding a glass of beer, turned to the three girls, "Cheers, I wish you reach greater heights in the future! Outshine everyone soon!"
Pu Sangzhi held her glass respectfully, smiling as she clinked it with Huo Mingshan’s, "Sir, I also wish you eternal youth, more and more success, a better and better life, and fewer and fewer worries."
"Heh..."
Huo Mingshan laughed, "In the future, indeed, there will be fewer and fewer worries. My son has been so much more well-behaved lately!"
After saying that, they both looked up, drank, and shared a smile, both in a great mood.
"Teacher, I’d like to take a photo with you later. Not a group photo, just us," Pu Sangzhi boldly suggested.
Huo Mingshan was, of course, quick to agree, "Sure, we can do it now."
No sooner said than done, he stood up from his seat immediately.
Pu Sangzhi was delighted. She quickly pulled out her phone and took a selfie with Huo Mingshan, and also had Zhu Dandan take a proper posed photo of her with Huo Mingshan.
When they got the photos, Pu Sangzhi was thrilled.
Huo Mingshan added, "Later, post the photos in the group. I’ll take a look too."
Pu Sangzhi laughed, "Okay, teacher."
Following that, the other students also came down with their glasses to toast the teachers.
Pu Sangzhi toasted all the teachers at the table, downing three bottles of beer without a change of expression.
She knew she could drink, but not beyond a certain limit.
So, after those three bottles, Pu Sangzhi calculated that she should still be within the amount she could control. She planned not to drink anymore...
Suddenly, in the lively banquet hall, a student’s call came through, "Hey everyone! Do you want to go to the next hall to watch Huo Feng and the others dance? Huo Feng and his group are about to dance!"
At this call, instantly, 2/3 of the students and teachers in the Auspicious Hall were summoned over...
Pu Sangzhi was no exception.
Their class burst into Class 7’s banquet hall just in time to see Huo Feng leading his 10 "sons" in a hip-hop dance on stage at the Ruyi Hall!
They seemed to have had quite a few drinks too, as each of their faces was flushed to various degrees, but when they started dancing, their moves were spot-on, without question!
As the lead dancer, the way Huo Feng danced was beyond just being suave!
The dynamic music, combined with them hitting the beats, and the forceful expressions of their dance moves, brought the atmosphere in the hall to an explosive high!
The students below the stage took out their phones to record videos, screaming in excitement.
It was the last day, and they didn’t forget to fall for these 11 people one more time...
Pu Sangzhi was also recording with her phone, happily capturing the scene of Huo Feng dancing.
It had been a long time since she last saw Huo Feng dance.
Because of his studies, Huo Feng hadn’t danced for over a year. Still, he danced as handsomely as ever, easily capturing a girl’s heart.
At the back of the crowd, Huo Mingshan held up his phone, recording the splendid scene of Huo Feng, feeling more and more satisfied with his unfilial son.
Three years ago...
Huo Mingshan would never have imagined, that three years later Huo Feng would become such an outstanding person, his pride...
These three years, Huo Feng truly hadn’t let Huo Mingshan down!
As the dance track ended, all 11 of them froze in a very cool and handsome pose on stage!
But that wasn’t the end...
The next moment, Huo Feng suddenly walked to the side, asked a class leader for a microphone, and also took out a large bouquet of flowers he had prepared in advance!
At this, the students from both classes in the Ruyi Hall let out the loudest screams, because many people didn’t know Huo Feng had prepared this surprise, nor did anyone know what trick Huo Feng had up his sleeve.
Next to Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan nudged her with a elbow hard, thinking that the surprise Huo Feng had was probably intended for Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi felt a bit of expectation, but in her mind, she didn’t think the surprise was prepared for her.
As it turned out, indeed it wasn’t.
"This bouquet of flowers was bought with my own money, Huo Feng, and not a single cent from our class fund!" said Huo Feng with the microphone in hand, speaking as he slowly walked from the stage, heading straight toward the head teacher at the teacher’s table, Zheng Qiu.
"They say flowers suit a beauty best, and the one most deserving of these flowers here is definitely our Teacher Zheng! Does anyone object?" Huo Feng said this as he finally approached Teacher Zheng.
He leaped gracefully, jumping down from the stage...
That posture, that expression and tone, that sheer confidence and charm, even Teacher Zheng Qiu, who was a married woman, was inevitably won over by his handsomeness.
All around, the students echoed Huo Feng, shouting, "No!"
At that moment, Huo Feng locked eyes with Zheng Qiu, took the microphone, and began his heartfelt confession, "Teacher Zheng, I, Huo Feng, am someone who remembers kindness! I will never forget, that time I was falsely accused of cheating, all the teachers in the office called me a scoundrel, only you listened to my side of the story. Even though it was after I had left... Anyway, you’ve been good to me, Huo Feng. You didn’t give up on me, Huo Feng! This kindness, I will remember for a lifetime! Thank you for these three years of high school!"
Teacher Zheng Qiu had never been confessed to in this way, even at her wedding. In this moment, with Huo Feng expressing his gratitude in such a manner, Zheng Qiu was so moved that her eyes shimmered with tears, and she couldn’t help but want to cry!
"Teacher Zheng, it’s okay for a woman to cry. Go ahead and cry; I’ll hand you a tissue," Huo Feng said, with a dominant yet somewhat joking tone.
For a moment, this made Teacher Zheng Qiu both cry and laugh.
Zheng Qiu took the flowers from Huo Feng’s hands, and as she was about to speak, Huo Feng quickly handed her the microphone, "Thank you, Huo Feng, and thank you to all the students for their preparations today. I don’t regret leading you. Especially you, Huo Feng, you really are my pride, and I will remember you for a lifetime," she said.
After speaking, Zheng Qiu truly squeezed out tears of emotion, and Huo Feng hurriedly handed her a tissue, even managing to make her laugh.
Standing some distance away, Pu Sangzhi watched the scene, feeling very moved in her heart.
Her Huo Feng was spreading beauty everywhere, and that was wonderful...
