Chapter 935: Chapter 917: How Could I Bear to Give Up Huo Feng? (28)
After lunch, Pu Sangzhi sent Huo Feng to the taxi.
Originally, Pu Sangzhi wanted to send Huo Feng to the train station, but Huo Feng wouldn’t let her.
He said he was a man, and he would be safe on the road. Instead, she wouldn’t be safe coming back alone...
So, Pu Sangzhi stopped after sending Huo Feng to the taxi.
Watching the taxi that carried him slowly leave, Pu Sangzhi suddenly felt an emptiness in her chest, as if her heart had left with Huo Feng...
As soon as he left, Pu Sangzhi felt as though her life had been drained.
Thinking that starting tomorrow she wouldn’t see Huo Feng, her nose began to tingle, feeling utterly sad...
So,
Did watching him leave, watching him disappear from her life for a while, feel like this?
Pu Sangzhi thought: She must really love him now. It wasn’t just words of love, it was love coming from the bottom of her heart...
She must really, really love him...
Their relationship had passed through the ignorant high school years and was now maturing in university.
This semester was the first one they spent officially dating.
This semester seemed longer than the three years of high school...
But this semester went very smoothly for them...
Love has no expiration date.
From the start of school until now, he treated her as he always did. And she, she loved him even more...
Freshman year...
Pu Sangzhi still felt the impulse to marry him quickly.
Just like when they were in the first year of high school, she wanted to go through adolescence with him, mature with him, and step into the marriage hall.
She even hoped that in the blink of an eye they would already be old with white hair...
Hoping they had already reached the point of growing old together forever.
But time still passed very slowly.
Pu Sangzhi felt that it might get even slower from now on?
Because in the days ahead, he wouldn’t be there...
But in fact...
Pu Sangzhi didn’t feel that her life was without Huo Feng.
Because after a bout of sadness, just as she was preparing to return to her dorm, her phone rang. It was a call from Huo Feng!
At this moment, he should still be in the car!
Pu Sangzhi was also amazed at him. He was still in Beijing, the car had just driven off, and he called her immediately!
And in the times to follow, Pu Sangzhi would find out, her life would be completely filled with Huo Feng!
...
After Huo Feng left, Pu Sangzhi had a phone call with him for an hour, followed by four hours of WeChat messaging...
When he asked for a video call, an overwhelmed Pu Sangzhi could only tell him she had to pack her luggage, and only then did Huo Feng let her go...
Then, while he thought Pu Sangzhi was packing, he still kept sending her WeChat messages!
And just kept sending and sending!
Pu Sangzhi immersed herself deeply in the feelings bombarded by Huo Feng...
At night, Pu Sangzhi and Mu Mu made two packs of instant noodles, each adding a sausage, truly a luxurious version!
Huo Feng might have fallen asleep on the train or perhaps had arrived at his stop, or maybe it was because Pu Sangzhi hadn’t replied to him enough...
In short, he didn’t send messages or call Pu Sangzhi that night, giving her some peace.
Only when Minal and Wei Zixuan left and it was just Pu Sangzhi and Mu Mu, the dorm seemed quieter.
In the space with just the two of them, while eating instant noodles, Pu Sangzhi finally boldly asked Mu Mu, "What’s the deal with you and Yong Mu now? Can you tell me?"
As soon as she asked, Mu Mu’s action of eating instant noodles halted...
Seeing her like this, Pu Sangzhi felt a bit nervous and stared at her, asking again, "Can’t tell me? If not, I won’t ask..."
"Me and him..."
Mu Mu put down her fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said dejectedly, "There’s actually nothing much between us."
She recently had a loneliness inside her, craving someone to talk to.
But Minal had a big mouth, so she didn’t dare speak.
Wei Zixuan loved giving advice; she didn’t want to be influenced.
Mu Mu really wanted to share her thoughts with Pu Sangzhi.
But Pu Sangzhi was popular, always having someone around her, whether it be Huo Feng or Minal...
Mu Mu didn’t have a chance to be alone with Pu Sangzhi. Even when they were alone, she wouldn’t bring it up unless Pu Sangzhi asked...
Her tiny personality was on the verge of breaking her!
Fortunately, today provided such an opportunity, and Mu Mu finally found someone to express her frustration.
However, after opening up, she didn’t know where to start?
Because, between her and Yong Mu, there actually wasn’t anything happening recently...
"What do you mean by nothing much?"
Pu Sangzhi asked further, "I’m really curious; you two haven’t walked together for a long time. Did he not look for you? Or have you truly decided it’s over between you two? I just don’t get it..."
Neither Mu Mu nor Yong Mu could Pu Sangzhi understand.
Because if it were her and Huo Feng having a conflict, either Huo Feng would be busy making it up to her, or Pu Sangzhi would find him immediately.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng rarely held grudges...
The only time Pu Sangzhi mustered the courage to leave Huo Feng, she left quietly, only to be reeled back by Huo Feng’s persistent text messages.
There was an invisible string between her and Huo Feng. When one let go, the other would pull tight; that was why their relationship was so strong.
Pu Sangzhi could see Mu Mu had been unhappy, aware that Mu Mu still held deep feelings for Yong Mu.
But, between the two of them, there seemed to be no string, no one would pull tight when the other let go.
And also, there seemed to be an invisible wall between them. Even when feelings were closely-knit, no one crossed that wall to embrace their beloved...
Pu Sangzhi wondered, was it due to their personalities?
Did their personalities lead two mutually affectionate people to drift apart?
"Actually, I just think that I can’t keep being friends with him. After ignoring him for some time, he hasn’t looked for me recently. That’s all..." Mu Mu lowered her head, her mood bleak as she spoke.
"But, once he really stopped looking for you, didn’t you feel sad?" Pu Sangzhi asked.
"A little bit..." Mu Mu replied.
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, helpless, "It’s not a little; it’s very obvious! We all can see that you’ve been much gloomier recently!"
Mu Mu pursed her lips, whispering in a weak voice, "Is it really that obvious..."
"Very obvious."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Last night, the reason we suggested having a gathering with the guys was to give you and Yong Mu a chance to reconcile. When you didn’t come, we couldn’t do anything; Yong Mu was in a bad mood last night, barely speaking. Actually, the decision is in your hands; whether you’re happy or not, it’s your choice. Yong Mu is waiting for your decision, isn’t he?"
"But, I really can’t keep being friends with him..."
Mu Mu said, "He’ll face pressure from his family, you saw how even his sister dared to treat him that way."
"So what? Are you both adults afraid of his little sister?"
Pu Sangzhi was exasperated, saying bluntly, "His sister is just a child, you should handle her like Huo Feng does. I don’t know how to advise you, but I want to say that my family’s situation is similar to yours."
Mu Mu looked up, slightly surprised, "Your family also exploited your friendships for money?"
"Not quite."
Pu Sangzhi picked up a sausage from her instant noodles and took a bite, speaking as she ate, "My family went bankrupt and fell into debt; I hid away in Rui’an, attending the same school as Huo Feng. When my family had troubles, Huo Feng, his dad, and his grandpa all helped me."
"You really are lucky then..."
Mu Mu envied Pu Sangzhi, "Huo Feng’s family is truly kind."
"Many people think I’m not good enough for Huo Feng. Those girls who like him come from influential or wealthy families."
Pu Sangzhi paused, taking a deep breath, and continued, "But Huo Feng never chose them over me because of these things. Instead, it’s me, always feeling inadequate due to lack of confidence. But his feelings for me are pure; he needs me, he wants me, he likes me as a person. So even though I have complex thoughts in my mind, I always return his feelings in their purest form."
Pu Sangzhi’s words seemed like a sermon, but on reflection, they filled Mu Mu with a sudden strength...
"I just want to tell you, if you feel your feelings for Yong Mu are pure, untainted by monetary values, then you shouldn’t give up on the years you’ve been together."
Pu Sangzhi concluded, "Treating him like this is a betrayal. I couldn’t bear to abandon the childlike heart Huo Feng had for me back then."
A childlike heart...
Mu Mu couldn’t help but reflect deeply...
This remark by Pu Sangzhi made her think long and hard...
Such truths still exist...
Such reasonable truths...
