Chapter 774: 757. Let’s go camping and watch the sunrise! (1)
In the dorm, Huo Feng’s dominant position was becoming more and more secure.
The more the twins and Yong Mu listened to his boasting and posing, the more they felt that his tough personality followed from his tough life—no surprise at all!
And the more they knew, the cooler they found him!
The other three roommates’ admiration and respect for Huo Feng only grew!
"Ah..."
After finishing his boastful tales, Huo Feng lay down in comfort, lifting his shirt and patting his firm abdomen, with the air of a mob boss.
"Bro Feng, take me with you for training sometime?" Gu Erhao bravely made the request.
Speaking of which...
Huo Feng was very disciplined about his physique.
No matter how late he came back from a date with Pu Sangzhi, he always insisted on doing strength training in the dorm room for 40 minutes.
He had bought dumbbells and some simple gym equipment to keep in the dorm.
Though the school had a gym, Huo Feng was too lazy to bike to such a distant place, so he mainly stuck to working out in the dorm.
Initially, he began his exercises on a yoga mat in the courtyard.
Later, as the courtyard was seldom cleaned and got dusty, Huo Feng moved his exercises into the dorm room.
He had been working out in the dorm room for several days.
Every day, as he did sit-ups and lifted dumbbells to train his muscles, the other three roommates watched.
The three were most fascinated by Huo Feng’s muscular yet not bulky physique, and of course, the scars on his back and neck often drew attention too.
Those were from the acid he had once blocked for Pu Sangzhi.
No one in the dorm dared to ask about it, and Huo Feng hadn’t let them know yet.
With his strong physique and those significant scars, he truly seemed like an unbeatable figure in society!
Thus, the peers in the dorm dared not provoke Huo Feng.
The twins felt fortunate they had not fallen out with Huo Feng back then. Though they were a bit subservient now, they at least felt very safe.
Gu Erhao rarely mustered up the courage to ask Huo Feng to coach him in training, and Huo Feng did not refuse but merely said, "You can train if you want, but I can’t guarantee the results."
"Why not?"
Gu Erhao rubbed his chunky belly, "I also want to try getting some abs..."
Before he could finish, Gu Yihao beside him immediately retorted, "Dream on, do you think getting abs is easy? You’re not Bro Feng, you’re way too lazy! If you manage three days, that’d be impressive!"
"What are you saying, Gu Yihao!"
Gu Erhao clashed with Gu Yihao again, "Can’t go a day without nagging me, can you? Why are you like this now? Seeing you just annoys me!"
Gu Yihao retorted just as ungraciously, "I get annoyed seeing you too! Always scheming, you know? Let me remind you about the waiter, I’m still covering for you! You should thank me for not telling Mom!"
Gu Erhao replied, "By what right do you tell Mom my secrets, why?!"
Gu Yihao: "Because Mom asked me to keep an eye on you!"
Gu Erhao: "Mom asked me to watch you too!"
Gu Yihao shook his head indifferently, "I’ve got nothing to hide, you’d find no dirt even if you wanted to complain!"
That drove Gu Erhao mad!
He was so angry he didn’t know how to respond to Gu Yihao, utterly unable to think of a winning argument!
"Complain about what? You’re this old and still running to Mommy. Haven’t grown up at all?"
Then, with just a casual comment, Huo Feng managed to block Gu Yihao from responding.
"Exactly!"
Gu Erhao quickly continued along Huo Feng’s lines, "Still whining at your age, just a ’grown-up baby’!"
Throwing the term ’grown-up baby’ at Gu Yihao felt incredibly satisfying for Gu Erhao!
It was as if he himself had matured several years!
However, the next second, Huo Feng included Gu Erhao too, saying, "You two are much of a muchness, neither of you is much better. Lacking a strong male aura, not even effeminate, just immature. You still need to grow~"
Not only did Huo Feng say this, but Yong Mu also agreed with a nod and voiced out, "Bro Feng is right, growth is needed."
At that moment, Gu Erhao and Gu Yihao felt even more despondent by the disdain from the other two roommates in the dorm...
"I’m not standing on some moral high ground criticizing you guys. I’m just reminding you. Back then, my girlfriend always said the same to me, complaining I was childish, telling me to mature~ Ah..."
Huo Feng mentioned his own experiences, sighing deeply, "And yet she just complained while growing up together with me. Soon we’ll be celebrating my birthday this year."
The three dorm mates were startled upon hearing this, and Yong Mu was the first to ask, "Huo Feng, is it your birthday soon?"
"Yeah, this Saturday."
Huo Feng raised his eyebrow, boasting proudly, "I’ve arranged to spend the weekend out with my girlfriend, and I won’t be coming back at night either~"
"Wow..."
Gu Erhao let out a sigh, "Does that mean you’re driving? Are you planning... to do that kind of thing?"
"No, not that."
Huo Feng laughed and denied it, adding, "Although she doesn’t really care about that and thinks it doesn’t matter when she gives me her first time, I personally have conservative thoughts. I can’t accept taking a girl’s first time before marriage. I always think about having to really protect her. A girl’s reputation is so important. Even if her family approves of me and she’s willing, I still need to respect and protect her, right? Otherwise, how am I any different from a beast?"
For the sake of face, Huo Feng bluffed and rambled on, completely twisting the truth...
However, what pleased him was that the three "fools" in the dorm believed his reasoning.
They all praised him as a noble gentleman, seemingly worshipping him even more, and taking his opinions as the correct ones.
Just after he promoted his good deeds, all four dorm mates suddenly received a message at the same time—Saturday, Wilderness Association is holding an outdoor mountaineering event!
At that instant, Huo Feng’s expression froze, his entire face seemed petrified, frozen still for a long time!
The other three dorm members were flipping through the messages sent by the Wilderness Association’s group...
After a long while, Gu Yihao mustered up the courage and asked Huo Feng, "Huo Feng, this Saturday... do you need to take a leave from the club activity?"
This would be their first event since joining the association.
Yesterday afternoon, the Wilderness Association gathered all members for a brief meeting where they discussed some mountaineering knowledge and assured everyone that the Wilderness Association’s outdoor activities would be plentiful!
And today, the news broke...
The chat group announced: This Saturday, Wilderness Association’s outdoor mountaineering event: Ling Mountain! Please actively participate!
Afterward, they attached a promotional image of Ling Mountain along with the schedule for Saturday.
Sometimes, reality is just so annoying.
Plans never keep up with changes; that’s the perpetual law of misfortune!
"What the heck..."
Lying on the bed, Huo Feng said with a disheartened tone, "The first event clashes with my birthday, how unlucky is that..."
Soon, Pu Sangzhi sent Huo Feng a WeChat message from her side.
She asked Huo Feng: [There’s an event with the Wilderness Association this Saturday, are we participating?]
Huo Feng replied: [Can we get a leave? I want to celebrate my birthday.]
Then, Pu Sangzhi replied to him: [Climbing the mountain is also for your birthday. That way, everyone can celebrate your birthday with you.]
Huo Feng replied again: [I don’t want anyone else’s company, just yours.]
Pu Sangzhi replied from the other side: [Okay then.]
What astonished Huo Feng again was that Pu Sangzhi didn’t try to persuade him or reason with him; she simply agreed right away.
Lately, her compliant nature was really surprising him!
Seeing how agreeable she was, Huo Feng felt embarrassed to be too authoritative, so he also asked her: [Do you want to go hiking or go to Happy Valley? I’d like to ask for your opinion.]
From the other side, Pu Sangzhi replied to him: [I don’t mind, it’s your birthday, so we’ll do what you want.]
"Is she really this easy-going..."
Huo Feng looked at Pu Sangzhi’s reply with a surprised expression, a smile forming on his lips, and then he sent her: [Then let’s go to Happy Valley, I just want to spend the day with only you.]
Right after sending that message...
Suddenly, Gu Erhao called out, "Hey, comrades, the club president is asking if we’re doing a day trip, or are we camping overnight? If we camp, we can watch the sunrise on the second day."
"Sunrise?"
Those two romantic words drifted into Huo Feng’s ears, and his eyes immediately lit up!
Huo Feng quickly opened the WeChat group, sure enough, he saw the president and vice-president discussing with everyone whether to come back the same day or stay an extra night?
If they stayed an extra night, they could camp at the summit, and watch the sunrise the next morning.
The president and vice-president didn’t decide on their own, instead, they were asking for everyone’s opinion.
Unexpectedly, Huo Feng was the first in the group to respond!
He sent: [I want to stay overnight. I don’t care about others, but I’m staying for the night, book the tent!]
After he sent that, Pu Sangzhi also sent in the group: [...]
So, this weekend was going to be one lively, large gathering...
