Chapter 905: Chapter 887: Wifey, We Need to Save Up to Start a Company! (1)
A piece of news that made Huo Feng both happy and sad came so unexpectedly...
He was happy that her family’s debts were finally settled, and she would regain her freedom, reducing a lot of stress.
But he was sad because soon, she would be back to her rich girl background, while he, Huo Feng, remained a poor boy, widening the wealth gap, making him feel inferior...
However, the happiness obviously outweighed the sadness!
Afterward, Pu Sangzhi told him, "During the winter vacation, I’m going to Heilongjiang and not returning to Wenzhou, Zhejiang. I haven’t seen my parents for a long time, so you’ll have to go back to Wenzhou by yourself then..."
"Ah~"
This was another piece of sad news for Huo Feng, and he couldn’t help but sigh, "Suddenly, we’ll be in a long-distance relationship... I feel so bad~"
"How is it sudden?"
On the other end of the phone, Pu Sangzhi chuckled lightly, "Originally, during the National Day holidays, I wanted to visit my parents. But I had promised to go back earlier, so I decided against it. I definitely need to visit my parents during the winter vacation. Can you help me bring some gifts for Mr. Huo, your mom, your grandpa, and your grandfather?"
"Of course, I can~ As my dear wife, you must fulfill your filial duties! I will fully support it!"
On the other end of the phone, Huo Feng nodded with a smile, "But my money is with you, so just advance me a bit. Just a little, okay? I really need to save up now. Yan Ji said he wants to start a company, and he already has 500,000 in startup funds. I don’t have that, so I have to save up..."
"Ah?"
Once again, Pu Sangzhi was surprised by their sudden idea, "How come Yan Siyuan has so many ideas? Isn’t your small business doing quite well? You’ve saved quite a bit, right?"
"We’ve only made a little over 20,000, dear wife~ What kind of money is that~ It’s not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth~" Huo Feng moaned.
Pu Sangzhi: "Then your tooth gaps must be too large!"
Huo Feng: "Anyway, I will definitely work hard to make money from now on, dear wife; you have to help me save a bit more~ Oh right, they’re coming next week, so the hotel and travel itinerary and such will be up to you, my dear wife."
Pu Sangzhi nodded obediently, "Okay. I’ll arrange it, and I’ll try to keep it simple."
"Right, right, keep it simple!"
Huo Feng nodded furiously and added sarcastically, "That Yan Ji guy, when we went to Hangzhou, made us stay in a youth hostel, but when they’re coming over, he tells me to arrange a fancier trip, it’s really disgusting! You should discuss it with Little Green Grass, and once you have her under control, you’ve got Yan Ji in the bag!"
Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but laugh. It did seem to make sense!
"Wife, I have to go to rehearsal now, so hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and have breakfast! I’ll bring you dinner later, don’t go out in the cold~ Love you~"
As it was almost rehearsal time, Huo Feng quickly explained and then hurriedly hung up the phone.
Pu Sangzhi was in an excellent mood today!
After hanging up, she did a quick wash and found the brunch that Huo Feng had brought for her.
Breakfast was porridge, fried dough sticks, eggs, and side dishes.
Lunch was three meats, two vegetables, and rice, a richly varied meal.
Pu Sangzhi sat at the desk beside her bed and started eating quietly. Although the food was already cold, it didn’t affect the taste.
Maybe because she was in such a good mood, she ate with great satisfaction.
In the dorm room, Minal and Wei Zixuan were still lazily lying on their beds, occasionally chatting with Pu Sangzhi...
Mu Mu was not in the dorm today; reportedly, she went to study at Tsinghua Academy braving the wind and rain alone.
Minal and Wei Zixuan routinely envied Pu Sangzhi’s amazing boyfriend. Seeing the blissfully in-love Pu Sangzhi sparked their own budding thoughts of romance.
In any case, Pu Sangzhi was very happy today.
For the following days, she remained very happy!
...
The cold air lingered in Beijing for four days, finally showing signs of warming up on Wednesday.
During the city’s cooling days, the outdoors became the place students least wanted to engage with.
On those days, the seats at the library and Tsinghua Academy’s study rooms were empty, as students had no desire to venture out to study, preferring the warm comfort of their dormitories.
Thankfully, there was indoor heating, making indoor life far from harsh!
The New Year’s holiday officially starts this weekend, and before the weekend arrives, the temperature beginning to rise on Thursday is a good sign.
During those cold days, Pu Sangzhi didn’t go to the library in the evenings either; she stayed focused in the dormitory working on her model.
Meanwhile, Huo Feng was fully engrossed in rehearsals!
Since "Phantom of the Opera" is a large-scale musical, continuous performance runs for at least two and a half hours.
In such a long duration, every element is crucial, and actors can’t afford to make mistakes.
Therefore, every actor was rehearsing with a tightly strung heart.
Huo Feng was no exception.
Consequently, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng hadn’t spent evenings together for several days.
On Friday night, in the Meng Building rehearsal room, the actors from the Musical Club prepared for a full music run-through with all the actors!
After practicing their own scenes in batches for over a week, they were finally going for a complete integration, even donning their stage costumes for a full rehearsal.
Involving different scene factors, both the female lead and supporting female had live costume changes, and everyone was aiming for perfection.
Before the integrated training, many props needed to be prepared.
While all the club members were busy getting props ready, Wu Di, the male lead, was nervously hiding in the bathroom brushing his teeth...
He had a hunch that a full rehearsal would be today, so he secretly brought his toothbrush, cup, and toothpaste in his bag.
Because, he had a kissing scene with You Xinran!
Wu Di was so nervous...
Facing the mirror, he brushed his teeth frantically!
In the same bathroom, Huo Feng was sitting on the toilet, taking a poop, while glancing at Wu Di...
Just now, right after the announcement of the run-through, Huo Feng clutched his stomach and rushed to the bathroom, while Wu Di went to fetch his bag, falling one step behind...
So he could only endure the stench and share the bathroom with Huo Feng...
Wu Di didn’t mind the smell; he was just nervous!
He was so anxious that even brushing his teeth made him nervous...
After brushing his teeth madly, Wu Di splashed some water on his face and, grinning with his shiny teeth, anxiously peered around in the mirror!
Huo Feng, on the other hand, observed that Wu Di was nervous because of the kissing scene!
"Hey, shouldn’t you breathe into your palm and then try kissing?" Huo Feng suggested to Wu Di.
Wu Di immediately followed the suggestion, exhaling into his palm and kissing his fresh breath; it somewhat reassured him...
"Phew..."
Wu Di let out a long sigh, his tense face gradually calming down.
"Relax a bit, Phantom brother."
Huo Feng grabbed some toilet paper while speaking to Wu Di, tidying himself up, "It’s just a rehearsal now. There’ll be plenty of kissing, not just this one time!"
"Hehehe..."
Wu Di laughed happily, unable to hide his joyous feelings, "This role of the male lead is really great... I got so many benefits... But poor Xinran, she has to act with me in a kissing scene."
"No worries, she has excellent professional ethics, she can handle it!" Huo Feng patted Wu Di on the butt, speaking with a grin.
"She really loves acting; ever since she joined the Musical, she’s put a lot of effort into each performance. I talked to her last time, and she said that her true passion is acting. She only joined Tsinghua for business management studies because of her high entrance exam scores and because her parents wanted her to. They hoped she’d join her father’s company in the future, but she never liked business; she’s always loved performing."
After speaking, Wu Di let out a faint sigh, as if sympathizing with You Xinran, who appeared before him, standing by the mirror, retouching her makeup.
"Girl’s wicked!"
"Who? Are you talking about my wife?"
Wu Di glanced at him, "No! I mean, I don’t even have any chance to get with her..."
"Life is like a drama, enjoy acting while you can," said Huo Feng, taking a piece of tissue paper calmly. "And remember, once you miss this chance, it likely won’t come again," he laughed.
Wu Di said, "Hold it, don’t mention that!" He was left half embarrassed and disgruntled, "It’s not like I’ve got any shot with her at all!"
Wu Di quickly quipped, "That figure, that face, no one can compare! There’s no one as perfect as her out there!"
For Huo Feng, his wife was in her own category, above all else...
