Chapter 691: 674, Feng Ge is coming to Sangzhi! (3)
Zhu Dandan was sharing little secrets with Wen Miao between the girls.
Feeling a bit thirsty from the chat, Zhu Dandan picked up the lemonade beside her, took a sip, and then realized it was all gone...
"Hey, my drink is all finished. Why hasn’t Sangzhi gotten here yet?" Zhu Dandan voiced her confusion.
Just then, another cup of lemonade was passed to her, accompanied by a gentle male voice, "Got you another one, timely, huh?"
Zhu Dandan looked up and saw Gu Yang, wearing only his swim trunks, a towel draped over his head, and his body wet.
She smiled, took the lemonade he offered, and took his hand in the process, "You’re here, have a seat, sit down."
Gu Yang then sat down on the lounge chair beside Zhu Dandan, busy drying his drenched hair, his black and shiny eyes fixed unwaveringly on Zhu Dandan, "I saw you were almost done with your drink, so I quickly went to get you another one. How’s that, wasn’t my timing great?"
"Perfect timing! Our Yangzi is just so good!"
Zhu Dandan, giggling, pinched the straw and took a sip of the lemonade. The slightly sour and sweet liquid went down her throat, refreshing and cool, also bringing her a touch of warmth.
After the college entrance exams, she and Gu Yang officially started dating.
Initially, she just wanted to give it a try, but unexpectedly, she ended up being pampered by him.
Gu Yang was straightforward and honest, never hesitated to speak his mind.
Although sometimes he would bluntly tell her that her outfit was ugly, her makeup smeared, or her lipstick was on her teeth, his straight male characteristics were quite apparent...
However, during their daily interactions, he was attentive to all kinds of small details, making sure to take care of her thoroughly.
This was a level of care that Zhu Dandan had not enjoyed during her time with Wang Chao.
It’s safe to say that the neglect she felt from Wang Chao turned into a sense of security she now feels with Gu Yang.
Zhu Dandan’s current romance was indeed very happy.
Right...
She felt happiness.
"When is Feng brother coming?" Gu Yang asked her.
Zhu Dandan checked her phone, "Should be soon. 15 minutes ago, Sangzhi said she was coming to find us."
"Then I won’t go back into the water."
As Gu Yang spoke, he laid back, clasping his hands behind his head and comfortably settled down, letting out a long sigh, "Ah, this is the life..."
Zhu Dandan too placed her lemonade on the table beside her, and she lay back on the lounge chair alongside him.
Yet, her head wasn’t turned towards Gu Yang but rather towards Wen Miao on the other side.
Gu Yang looked over at her, noticing the sunscreen on her neck had not been spread evenly, leaving a patch of white cream on her skin. He poked her, bluntly pointing out, "You haven’t applied your sunscreen properly."
"Ah..."
Zhu Dandan quickly took his advice, her hand frantically smearing around her neck, "I’ve been in the sun for so long, I hope I haven’t gotten tanned?"
"That’s why I say you should be more careful."
Gu Yang chided her without any reservation, "You can’t even apply sunscreen properly, what are you good for?"
This guy just had a way with words; even though sometimes his actions were warming, there were times he managed to annoy Zhu Dandan.
Like now, after his comment, Zhu Dandan glared at him, threateningly retorting, "What did you say? Are you looking for trouble?"
"Alright, I’ll stop talking."
After upsetting Zhu Dandan a few times, Gu Yang naturally knew how to handle the situation, just concede and that’s it...
After all, women, if you pamper them, can be easily placated in an instant, no need to reason with them—this was the truth Gu Yang learned from Douyin.
He thought it was quite accurate!
Wen Miao, observing quietly from the side, watched the interaction between Zhu Dandan and Gu Yang.
She really hadn’t expected Gu Yang to be so kind to Dandan!
He looked like he had low EQ, and his words could be irritating, but it turned out he was pretty adept when it came to dating...
Men...
Hmph...
At that moment, Wang Chao in the pool couldn’t help but steal glances at them again and again.
Of course, this was when the trio wasn’t paying attention. Or rather, the three of them weren’t paying any attention to him at all...
Actually, Wang Chao had been covertly watching Zhu Dandan all day, or perhaps watching Gu Yang, or better said, he wanted to observe Zhu Dandan’s expressions when she was with Gu Yang...
It seemed, she looked, not much different from when she was with him.
Smiling, laughing, being playful and coquettish...
Only the object of her attention had changed.
Now, she only acted spoiled with Gu Yang.
Today, she hadn’t even glanced at Wang Chao, because Wang Chao had been sneakily watching her, yet their eyes never met.
It’s hard to say whether this is good or bad...
Maybe it indicates that Wang Chao is no longer in her heart, so she doesn’t care about him at all.
But it could also mean that she is deliberately avoiding Wang Chao’s attention, right? Probably to avoid awkwardness...
Regardless, Wang Chao felt very uncomfortable.
Watching the two of them together, watching his brother fool around with his ex-girlfriend, with arms over each other’s shoulders, walking together like a couple...
Wang Chao felt an indescribable pain in his heart!
And he had no one to talk to about it.
The brothers around him were also Gu Yang’s brothers.
All these brothers were happy for Gu Yang and Zhu Dandan to be together; it seemed no one cared about Wang Chao’s feelings.
So, Wang Chao had to keep it to himself.
...
About 10 minutes later, Huo Feng arrived at the pool with Pu Sangzhi.
Though they arrived late, they easily livened up the atmosphere.
As soon as Huo Feng arrived, he didn’t even warm up, diving straight into the pool with a leap!
In an instant, he splashed his brothers with water and quickly started frolicking with them...
Pu Sangzhi found a small stool and sat down between Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao; she started to chat with them about the fun things over the summer vacation.
The most interesting thing that had happened to Pu Sangzhi this summer was discovering that Huo Feng’s father was Huo Mingshan!
Upon seeing Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao, she immediately shared the news with her two sisters.
"Eh——!"
Immediately, both of them let out the same surprised exclamation!
They simply couldn’t believe that Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan were father and son!
For the past three years...
Huo Mingshan had been their homeroom teacher for three whole years! And they had been with Huo Feng for three whole years as well!
And yet, not a single person knew about the father-son relationship between Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan!
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were both shocked at the time!
"When I first found out about this fact, my expression was just like the two of you." Pu Sangzhi giggled.
Pu Sangzhi greatly enjoyed their naive and surprised expressions, because she had reacted in the same way herself, which meant her reaction was correct!
"Huo Feng lied to me, saying his parents wanted to meet me, and coaxed me into going to his house. But when we got there, Teacher Huo suddenly sat down next to me, and I was totally startled! I was thinking, Teacher Huo has always been against my early dating, and here I was, going behind his back to meet Huo Feng’s parents, afraid he would scold me. Who knew that Huo Feng would call him ’dad’... Oh my, I was completely stunned at the time!" Pu Sangzhi relished as she recounted the event.
Zhu Dandan and Wen Miao were equally mesmerized by her story!
Even though Pu Sangzhi described it so vividly, they needed a long time to digest this fact.
"Hey... I remember back in our freshman year, didn’t Teacher Huo strictly forbid you from dating Huo Feng?"
Zhu Dandan couldn’t help but ask, "You two were even called to the office several times, right? You also mentioned he visited your home, specifically telling your mom not to let you date Feng Ge! What’s going on now!"
All those long-forgotten memories stored in their minds suddenly came flooding back...
They could hardly believe it...
Back then, the homeroom teacher Huo Mingshan disliked Pu Sangzhi’s association with Huo Feng so much!
The authority of Ruthless Valley’s Valley Master had been exerted several times!
In the end, he turned out to be Huo Feng’s father! Why create such strife? Was it like the parable of the beans burning on the stalks?
"Yes!"
Wen Miao also remembered, "I recall Teacher Huo always telling us how his son was so mischievous and never gave him peace of mind! Didn’t you say before that his son was only in primary school! My goodness... how did this big misunderstanding come about?"
Pu Sangzhi watched their reactions and couldn’t help but laugh, "Now that you mention it, I’m just recalling these things... haha, he and his father are like professional actors, playing such a big scene together for 3 years! They kept us completely in the dark, which is quite impressive."
"Ah~ Sangzhi, you should have told us earlier!"
Zhu Dandan, full of regret, thumped her leg, "If I had known this news sooner, when I saw Teacher Huo this morning, I would’ve definitely taken the chance to ask him thoroughly! Why did he hide it from us like that!"
After some thought, Pu Sangzhi analyzed, "Maybe Teacher Huo looks down on Huo Feng, so he doesn’t want to acknowledge their father-son relationship... That’s my guess..."
And she guessed right!
