Chapter 852: Chapter 893: Accepting Pu Sangzhi, Rejecting You Xinran! (Part 3)
Huo Feng had every reason to believe that You Xinran was definitely a wealthy person with two phones.
Originally an Apple system user, suddenly switching to an Android system, she’s really looking out for Huo Feng’s business!
Huo Feng gladly accepted the 50 yuan red envelope sent by You Xinran, and gave her a series of registration codes, along with a simple software tutorial.
He added a note: [Enjoy, and feel free to contact me if you have any issues.]
Afterwards, You Xinran started using the software made by Huo Feng.
Huo Feng put the phone aside and, before locking the screen, glanced at his Alipay.
These days, he had earned 2250 yuan from selling the software.
Such a small piece of software earning so much money, it was quite unexpected even for Huo Feng.
Beside him, Pu Sangzhi was still buried in her homework. Huo Feng looked at her serious little face and, although he felt he shouldn’t interrupt, couldn’t help but say, "Wife, my software has already earned 2250 yuan. When are you going to go out shopping with me?"
"Not going."
Pu Sangzhi, while doing her homework, refused Huo Feng without even lifting her eyelids.
"Are you free this weekend?" Huo Feng asked her.
"Even if I’m free, I won’t go shopping with you. You’ll only waste money," Pu Sangzhi continued to reject him.
"How would it be a waste of money?"
Huo Feng reached out and tugged her sleeve slightly, "Wife, let’s go out and have some fun this time? We won’t buy anything... maybe go to the zoo, or the aquarium? Or anywhere you’d like."
"Play..."
Pu Sangzhi’s hand paused slightly, and this idea seemed to attract her a little, "If it’s for fun, then I’m in."
"Really!"
Huo Feng was relieved to see that she finally agreed.
"So, we’re going out to have fun this weekend?"
Huo Feng reconfirmed with her, "I’ll arrange it, I’ll check to see if there’s anything fun to do in Beijing. Just the two of us, no roommates coming along."
"Okay." Pu Sangzhi nodded in agreement.
"Wife..."
Huo Feng was about to say something to Pu Sangzhi when his phone suddenly lit up, and he glanced down to see a message from You Xinran...
She asked: [Does this software prevent changes for half a month after being set?]
Huo Feng, with a customer-first attitude, promptly replied in a service-oriented manner: [Yes. It can be set once every half month, within that time all APPs on the phone are locked and each value cannot be changed.]
You Xinran asked again: [What if the settings are inappropriate and there’s an unexpected situation where I must unlock it?]
Huo Feng replied: [There’s no contingency plan for that. Rules are fixed; if they’re made flexible and too many conditions are added, then people’s laziness and procrastination will cause the software to lose its effectiveness. Only by setting fixed rules can people flexibly change themselves.]
You Xinran: [Oh.]
Seconds later, You Xinran sent another message: [You’ve never sent me such a long message before.] She seemed a bit surprised...
Indeed...
In the online chats between You Xinran and Huo Feng, his replies were always just a few words.
This time he suddenly sent such a long message; though filled with technical terms, reading the lengthy message still put You Xinran in a good mood.
Meanwhile, looking at the text from You Xinran, Huo Feng furrowed his brows slightly and quickly replied to her: [Don’t overthink, it’s just a routine response to customers.]
You Xinran replied: [Oh.]
Huo Feng sent another message: [Let me know if you have further questions. Or check out the software user guide.]
You Xinran replied: [Okay. Are you free this weekend?]
This message, where she asked him further, Huo Feng simply skimmed over, only briefly taking note of her initial inquiry.
Then he set the phone aside, no longer replying to You Xinran.
Lowering his head, Huo Feng continued with his homework, occasionally glancing at the serious Pu Sangzhi.
This serene moment of writing homework together had been their routine for several years...
From high school to now, time could evoke emotions, making one cherish this hard-earned relationship more deeply.
Huo Feng particularly liked this atmosphere.
"I want to buy some materials this weekend..."
Pu Sangzhi suddenly spoke up, "I want to make an architectural model, will you come with me?"
"Sure."
Huo Feng readily agreed, "Then we won’t go out to have fun, just go shopping!"
Pu Sangzhi seriously corrected him, "Only shopping for materials, I need to buy wood, silicone, plastic, and steel. I want to do an experiment."
"Alright. Whatever you want to do, I’ll accompany you!"
Huo Feng agreed readily again.
Meanwhile, his phone screen lit up once more, with another message from You Xinran.
You Xinran sent: [My dad’s coming to the school this weekend and will invite club members to dinner. Are you coming?]
Huo Feng quickly replied: [Busy, got a date. And remember, QQ is public, only talk software-related stuff, personal stuff use WeChat to find me.]
You Xinran: [Is there a difference?]
Huo Feng replied: [Yes. As a client, I have to reply to you, but as a classmate, it depends on my mood.]
You Xinran: [...]
You Xinran couldn’t help but get a bit annoyed, [Are you really so rude to respond based on mood? Or are you ignoring me because you dislike me?]
Huo Feng: [It’s all about mood. I’m going to do my homework, contact me if it’s important, otherwise, it’s down to my mood.]
You Xinran: [Alright... Your mood is most important, I get it!]
Ultimately, You Xinran didn’t lose her temper with Huo Feng but surprisingly endured his impoliteness.
She might not even be aware that she was being very tolerant towards Huo Feng.
If anyone else dared to talk to her like this, she would have already showed them a sour face.
But just because it was Huo Feng, she didn’t find him unpleasant, only feeling that he had a unique personality, living so freely and doing whatever he wanted.
Instead, You Xinran liked his carefree nature and straightforward tone.
The more she looked at Huo Feng, the more she liked him...
Meanwhile, Huo Feng was completely unaware of her feelings.
Beside him, Pu Sangzhi was also unaware of Huo Feng’s chat with You Xinran, as she was still diligently focused on her homework.
...
Monotonous study life continued day by day.
Mu Mu, in order to create distance from Yong Mu, spent another three days alongside Pu Sangzhi...
Huo Feng also spent those three days enduring an unpleasant trio situation.
He was always sidelined by Pu Sangzhi and Mu Mu, while the two engaged in lively conversations, leaving him bored and alone.
For three days, Huo Feng was not happy at all.
Until the third night, Huo Feng couldn’t hold it any longer!
That evening, back at the dormitory, he grabbed Yong Mu’s clothes with full momentum and hauled him to the atrium, closing the door behind them.
Then...
Having just brushed his teeth, Yong Mu stared blankly at Huo Feng, wide-eyed and slightly panicked.
Huo Feng’s brow was furrowed as he stepped forward, causing Yong Mu to retreat a step back onto the door.
At that time, the distance between them was very close, Yong Mu felt a sense of oppression from Huo Feng, making him suck in a breath, and nervously asked, "Feng bro, wh-what’s up?"
"You know what’s up?"
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, speaking with a notably unfriendly tone, "Your Little Qingmei has been clinging to my wife for three days now. During these three days as the third wheel between them, when are you going to take her back? Hurry it up!"
"Feng bro..."
On this topic, Yong Mu showed a face of hesitation, "I haven’t made up my mind yet..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Feng immediately interrupted, "What’s the point of overthinking? Actions are better than words! It’s a trait of Tsinghua people, you know!"
Yong Mu couldn’t help correcting Huo Feng: "Actions speak louder than words..."
"Does that matter?"
Huo Feng’s brows knit even tighter, practically speechless at Yong Mu’s wimpy demeanor, "I’m telling you, the point is you have to act! What’s the use of correcting me if you don’t act on it! Go woo your Little Qingmei! Get on it! You’re already seriously affecting my time with my wife!"
"But Feng bro..."
Yong Mu nervously swallowed, "If you think she’s getting in the way of you and your wife, can’t you tell her yourself?"
"Oh, come on!"
Huo Feng, losing his patience, retorted immediately, "Why are you asking me to talk to your girl? Can’t you handle it yourself!"
