Chapter 892: Chapter 874: The Two of Them Face You Xinran Head-On! (Part 2)
Pu Sangzhi rode on Huo Feng’s bicycle, the two of them chatting and laughing, bickering all the way to the Zijing Dormitory Building.
Normally, they would first stop at Zijing Building 5, let Pu Sangzhi enter her dorm, and then Huo Feng would return to his dormitory.
But today, Pu Sangzhi was the one biking. She rode the bicycle directly to Zijing Dormitory Building 1, which was the boys’ dorm for the Computer Science department.
"I told you, my wife is especially nice today~"
Huo Feng happily hopped off the bicycle, "You’re rehearsing with me, warming my hands, biking me around, and even dropping me off at my dorm door~ This treatment is unprecedented~"
Sitting on the bicycle, Pu Sangzhi turned her head and raised an eyebrow at him, "You’re overthinking, I’ve never felt like I treated you poorly."
"Wifey~ Are you okay biking back alone?"
Huo Feng said with some unease, "How about I take you back first, I’m not very comfortable with this."
"What’s there to be uncomfortable about?"
Pu Sangzhi stuck her chin out forward, "Our dorms are just a few buildings apart, really? I’m leaving now..."
"Wait, let me take you back first."
After thinking it over, Huo Feng still felt uneasy. As Pu Sangzhi’s bike moved two paces, he ran after and caught up with her.
Pu Sangzhi had no choice but to stop and looked at him amusedly, "What are you doing?"
"You’ve never taken me back to my dorm... I’m not used to it..."
Huo Feng patted his chest, "I’ll watch you go upstairs from under your dorm just to ease my mind..."
Habit really is a terrifying thing.
Over the years, Huo Feng had gotten used to treating her well, used to attending to many things with her in mind first.
He always treasured Pu Sangzhi, even if it meant not shorting himself.
So, despite how nicely she treated him tonight...
He still felt like it’s only right for him to treat her well!
Pu Sangzhi looked steadily at Huo Feng for several seconds...
She felt very touched but didn’t know what to say?
Just as she was about to speak, suddenly a female voice came from the side, "Huo Feng?"
This voice was familiar to both Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng.
Almost immediately, they recognized the voice and turned toward its source.
Thus, inside the boys’ dorm, they saw You Xinran rushing over...
Neither of them expected that You Xinran would come out of the boys’ dormitory at this late hour?
Initially, they thought her first reaction was that she came to the boys’ dorm to find someone.
As it turned out, she was indeed looking for someone, specifically Huo Feng...
"Huo Feng, it really is you, I’ve been waiting for you."
When You Xinran saw Huo Feng, her expression seemed excited.
But when she saw Pu Sangzhi next to Huo Feng, a cold look appeared between her brows...
You Xinran nearly ignored Pu Sangzhi automatically and directly spoke to Huo Feng, "I called you tonight, sent you WeChat messages, none of which you responded to, so I had no choice but to come to your dorm to catch you."
"Oh..."
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "What’s the matter?"
Indeed, Huo Feng had put his phone on silent tonight.
Not answering calls, not replying to texts, he hadn’t even looked at his phone...
Because Pu Sangzhi had so attentively prepared a bunch of things for him, how could Huo Feng have the heart to fiddle with his phone in front of her!
Whenever he and Pu Sangzhi were studying, his phone was always tossed aside, ignored.
So, it was normal she couldn’t reach him.
But coming to his dorm to block him was kind of unusual, wasn’t it?
"This place isn’t convenient, shall we find somewhere to talk?"
You Xinran intentionally glanced at Pu Sangzhi and then said this.
The implicit meaning in her words seemed to be that what she wanted to discuss with Huo Feng wasn’t for Pu Sangzhi’s ears.
Pu Sangzhi picked up on this.
High EQ’d Huo Feng, naturally, could also pick up on it.
Of course, Huo Feng certainly would not allow others to treat Pu Sangzhi this way!
"I think here is fine. My girlfriend’s one of us, so just say whatever you want to say directly." Huo Feng said straight to You Xinran.
You Xinran cast another glance at Pu Sangzhi, her brows furrowed, "It’s regarding some personal matters I wanted to discuss with you. I don’t want a third party to overhear..."
The implication in her words couldn’t be any clearer! She wanted to have a private talk with Huo Feng!
From the side, Pu Sangzhi had been ignored and said nothing...
But after You Xinran’s words, Pu Sangzhi really felt the need to express something.
Thus, Pu Sangzhi shot Huo Feng a look and asked with a lifted tone, "Should I make myself scarce?"
Though she was verbally asking about ’making herself scarce’, the slightly fiery tone carried a threatening weight to Huo Feng!
It was clear to Huo Feng that she was somewhat angry.
It was natural for him to side with his own wife!
"No need, you don’t need to leave."
Huo Feng placed his hand on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, lifted his chin, and said to You Xinran, "I’ve never kept anything from my girlfriend. I’ve never messed around with other women behind her back either. You shouldn’t try to mess with me in front of my girlfriend, just say whatever you need to say. If you think my girlfriend shouldn’t hear it, then don’t tell me either, because I don’t want to know."
Huo Feng clearly stood on the same sideline as Pu Sangzhi. By showing his stance, in a certain sense, Pu Sangzhi had won!
Pu Sangzhi turned back to look at You Xinran and took the initiative to ask, "Do you have personal matters with my boyfriend? Are you sure I shouldn’t hear it?"
You Xinran was momentarily stunned by Pu Sangzhi’s question, a bit of tension arising in her heart.
Indeed, she sought out Huo Feng for personal reasons and did not want Pu Sangzhi, nor anyone else, to know about it.
But with Huo Feng’s attitude, she was forced to reveal the matter to both Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi at this juncture.
You Xinran pondered...
If she left without saying anything now, Huo Feng would definitely become wary of her in the future, and Pu Sangzhi would officially regard her as a rival.
The two of them would surely think that You Xinran was a woman trying to stealthily dig out someone else’s corner.
But she approached Huo Feng indeed for personal matters...
You Xinran didn’t want Pu Sangzhi to know about this.
A contradictory decision underwent a short mental storm within You Xinran’s mind...
In the end, You Xinran could only brace herself, and honestly, "Huo Feng, the reason I’m looking for you is to see if you could help me land a role at tomorrow afternoon’s audition?"
Upon hearing this, both Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng were momentarily taken aback.
They hadn’t expected You Xinran would have such a request?
"You also want to secure a role with Director Lu?" Huo Feng asked.
You Xinran nodded, "I’ve never mentioned this in the club, that’s why I’m asking you privately. You know I care about saving face, but I also need opportunities... Though if I asked my family, I might have a chance, I want to fight for it myself..."
At this point, You Xinran paused, speaking heavily as she continued, "I wanted to ask if you could help me find out if there are any female roles to audition for? Could you recommend me? I’d be grateful if you can, but I won’t push it if you can’t."
In truth, all You Xinran was seeking was an opportunity.
She had been packaging herself for a long time...
Throughout her freshman year, she had been shaping her image, cultivating her fans, but with little effect...
She didn’t know if her luck was lacking or if the fundamental conditions were lacking; overall, her circumstances weren’t as fortunate as Huo Feng’s.
So, You Xinran was merely seeking an opportunity which is why she reached out to Huo Feng.
Of course, she wasn’t sure if Huo Feng could secure an opportunity for her as Huo Feng himself wasn’t exactly established.
She came over here to just give it a try...
Huo Feng specifically looked at Pu Sangzhi to gauge her expression?
But in this matter, Pu Sangzhi gave no expression to Huo Feng...
She merely gave Huo Feng a look, implying: It’s your decision.
"I’ll ask Director Lu."
Huo Feng didn’t reject You Xinran, "I’ll try to see if I can help you secure it. After all, I owe you a favor, right? If I manage to get it for you, I won’t owe you anything from now on. In the club, don’t claim that it was you who propped me up."
"Sure."
You Xinran nodded her head, "Who props up whom isn’t important. At our age, our effective social circles should be about mutual support."
This sentence...
In a certain sense, showed that You Xinran’s emotional intelligence was not low...
