Chapter 770: Do you listen to your girlfriend?
Pu Sangzhi had known that he planned to sign up for the Wilderness Association and the Musical Club.
He had said he wanted to join the same club, so she agreed to sign up for the Wilderness Association with him.
But the Musical Club really wasn’t the club Pu Sangzhi wanted to join...
She couldn’t sing, dance, act, and could only give speeches on stage; everything else was out of the question. Thus, she had never considered joining the Musical Club.
Although she decided not to participate herself, she still very much supported Huo Feng, and even persuaded him, "Just sign up, you’re well-suited for musical theater. It would be a pity not to participate."
Huo Feng lowered his head and glared at her, "And what about you? Are you just going to leave me behind like this?"
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, refusing him, "Not me. I think it’s better to be an audience member and watch you from below the stage."
"No way..."
Huo Feng immediately frowned, took hold of her shoulders and shook them, "So you publicly renounce me and leave me behind~ That’s too much~"
Huo Feng acted coquettishly on the spot, shaking Pu Sangzhi so much that she found it somewhat amusing.
"No, that’s not it..."
Pu Sangzhi, feeling helpless, grabbed his hands and looked up at him, "Haven’t I already signed up for the Wilderness Association with you? I also have another club I want to join, and I plan to sign up for the student council next semester. I really can’t join another club and divide my time even further. We’re both at the same school; we don’t need to stick together all the time, right?"
"I want to~"
Huo Feng tilted his head and nuzzled it against Pu Sangzhi’s, rubbing playfully, "I want to be in the same club as you. If you don’t join, I won’t either~ I want to do it together~"
He began to act spoiled again...
Pu Sangzhi, at her wits’ end and speechless with his clinginess, couldn’t help but push his head away, "Hey, people are watching. Stop it..."
The senior girl, whose looks and voice were both sweet, was also staring blankly at Huo Feng. It seemed she could hardly believe that such a tall and sturdy boy — nearly six feet tall — could act so effeminate...
Reminded by Pu Sangzhi, the senior girl regained her focus and hurriedly also tried to persuade her, "Yeah, junior sister, sign up together. Just accompany your boyfriend..."
"Sorry."
Pu Sangzhi nodded to the senior girl, then took Huo Feng’s hand and pulled him to a corner, "Hey, aren’t you embarrassed at all?"
"Not at all..."
Huo Feng said uncaringly, pulling her even closer by the shoulders and shaking them, "As for you! Why do you suddenly renounce me without leaving me any face? Not even a chance for discussion, that’s too much of a betrayal!"
"What are you talking about..."
Pu Sangzhi furrowed her brows, "Don’t make it so complicated. I just feel I’m not suitable for this club. I have my own clubs I want to join."
"Which ones do you want to join?"
Huo Feng cocked an eyebrow and asked her, "Just tell me in advance... Forget it, let’s just go to the club you want to join. I won’t sign up."
It wasn’t clear whether Huo Feng was angry or being serious...
In that moment, he gave up the idea of signing up for the Musical Club.
Naturally, Pu Sangzhi didn’t want him to give up. Suddenly hugging his waist, she looked up with a resolute gaze, "Are you angry?"
"No."
Huo Feng said impatiently, "Don’t think too much about it. Just listen to you, that’s all."
"No, that’s not acceptable."
Pu Sangzhi insisted, "Don’t be mad at me. This isn’t a big deal. What’s there to be angry about? We’re both adults. You have your interests, and I have mine. Even as a couple, we don’t need to be tied down so tightly, do we?"
"Tight?"
Huo Feng actually got somewhat angry at her words, turned to face her, and said sternly, "No, what do you mean? We haven’t even passed the honeymoon phase and you’re already tired of being together too much? I just want to spend more time with you. Are you fed up with me now? Don’t you want to be with me anymore?"
"Hey, do you really have to misunderstand me like this?"
Taking a deep breath, Pu Sangzhi pointed a finger straight at his nose, "I’m just going to ask you one thing now. Are you listening to your girlfriend or not?"
"I..."
Huo Feng took a deep breath too, truly not expecting her to command him using her status as his girlfriend, "What if I don’t want to listen?"
Pu Sangzhi twisted his firm pectoral muscle, grimacing, "You dare not listen!"
Huo Feng touched the spot she had twisted, which was still faintly sore, "I don’t want to listen... you’re treating me like this..."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t bother reasoning with him, continuing authoritatively, "So, are you listening or not! Aren’t you listening to your girlfriend?"
Huo Feng: "..."
Just in that moment, Huo Feng suddenly realized that the girlfriend before him wasn’t as understanding as before.
The girlfriend in front of him had become just like everyone else...
Just like other people’s girlfriends, she started being unreasonable, began ordering her boyfriend around! Even started throwing tantrums at him!
However!
He embarrassingly gave in, "Alright... I’m listening..."
Pu Sangzhi seized this opportunity and continued to command, "Go join the club you like, don’t just follow my lead. I have different interests and hobbies than you do, and don’t tie me down."
Huo Feng pouted unhappily, "Are you sure you want to be this heartless? Think carefully, are you really okay with me joining a club by myself?"
"What’s there to worry about? You’re not a child, you’re an adult, and besides, you’ve always been emotionally intelligent, very understanding of human interactions!"
Pu Sangzhi’s little fists pounded lightly on his chest, "Hurry up and sign up, no more temper tantrums."
Huo Feng sulked and muttered defiantly, "I’ll throw a tantrum if I want, it’s uncomfortable to hold it in, unless you give me a kiss!"
"You’re still making a fuss, still fussing..."
Pu Sangzhi raised her little fists and lightly pounded on his chest, playfully and not very forcefully.
Watching her act like a little woman, Huo Feng felt much better and couldn’t help holding her small fists, his lips curling into a smile, "Ah, okay, okay... I’ll stop making a fuss... Really, I will!"
"Go sign up now!" Pu Sangzhi urged him.
"Alright, alright, I’m on it..."
Huo Feng reluctantly listened to her.
Although he couldn’t recall what exactly she said to soothe him just moments before,
how was it that he suddenly felt happy? Gave in? Stopped caring?
At that moment, Huo Feng was genuinely bewildered.
Nevertheless, he still went to sign up for the Musical Club under Pu Sangzhi’s insistence, while Pu Sangzhi herself didn’t sign up.
After Huo Feng finished signing up, Pu Sangzhi looked at him with a smile, saying she would sit in the audience for him in the future.
Because back in Shanghai, she used to enjoy watching musicals quite a bit.
However, neither Huo Feng nor Pu Sangzhi knew that joining the Musical Club would present a second path in Huo Feng’s future life. It would also subject their relationship to an even greater test.
As adults, truly complicated matters emerge with age and differing social circles...
...
After Huo Feng had signed up for his preferred club, Pu Sangzhi finally felt at ease leading him to sign up for the public welfare type of club she was interested in—the Small Animal Protection Association.
Exactly the kind of club Huo Feng had no interest in...
Public welfare clubs were quite deserted at the scene, and the senior members were certainly out trying to recruit new people, but with little success.
Not many students were willing to sign up for public welfare clubs, and even the freshmen who were dragged there to sign up didn’t seem very willing.
The seniors guessed that it wouldn’t take long before those who had signed up would be applying to leave the club.
Pu Sangzhi had actively come forward to fill in the application form.
While she was signing up, Huo Feng also took an extra form, insistent on joining the same club as her despite his lack of interest.
Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t allow him to sign up, repeatedly snatching the form from him and sternly warned him, "I’ll tell you once more, don’t force yourself just because of my interests. We have to be responsible for our own choices, and it’s hard to stick with something that doesn’t come from the heart."
"Who says I’m not doing this from the heart?"
Huo Feng contradicted her just for the sake of it, insisting on signing up and snatching back the form from her hands for the umpteenth time, "I’m very caring, okay! I want to sign up!"
Pu Sangzhi snatched it back again, "You can’t."
Huo Feng persisted, recovering it once more, "I can. If I say I can, then I can. What right do you have to control me?"
After several rounds of this, Pu Sangzhi could only use her trump card, asking, "Are you going to listen to your girlfriend or not?"
Huo Feng, "Here we go again..."
Pu Sangzhi, "So are you going to listen or not?"
Huo Feng, "Isn’t that overstepping a bit..."
Pu Sangzhi, "Dare you not to listen?"
Huo Feng, "Alright, I’ll listen... I won’t sign up then!"
And so, Huo Feng didn’t know how, but he was easily defeated by her move...
Blaming her for catching him off guard, he hadn’t even figured out how to counter this move...
