Chapter 936: Chapter 918: Old Huo Sighs, Why Did You Come Back Alone? (29)
Mu Mu was introduced to a new realm of thought by Pu Sangzhi’s words!
Pu Sangzhi’s perspective on things, her approach to relationships, was completely different from what Mu Mu had previously thought.
However, Pu Sangzhi’s words made a lot of sense.
Mu Mu wasn’t sure how long she stopped to think, but as she increasingly felt the merit in Pu Sangzhi’s words, her mood much improved!
Beside her, Pu Sangzhi was eating instant noodles, and as she ate, Mu Mu suddenly asked in a bright tone, "Do you want more sausage?"
Pu Sangzhi gave her a skeptical look, seeing Mu Mu had already pulled out another sausage, feeling quite cheerful as she unwrapped it, "Offering you another sausage won’t unlock the confusion in my heart..."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t think what she said was particularly great, but seeing Mu Mu’s enlightened look, she naturally felt happy for her, accepting the sausage, "Thanks."
Mu Mu wore a smile at the corner of her lips and placed the newly opened sausage into Pu Sangzhi’s bowl.
In her good mood, she couldn’t help but laughed out loud, "Hehe..."
Seeing her sudden lighthearted mood, Pu Sangzhi quietly smiled as well, and after thinking said: "Actually, you shouldn’t confuse love with reality. If you only talk about love, you’ll be much happier. If a boy is very realistic, then discuss reality with him. If a boy only wants to talk about emotions and doesn’t care about reality, why exclude him with reality? That will only hurt him."
"Hmm..."
Mu Mu once again pondered over Pu Sangzhi’s words and thought they were indeed very sensible!
Pu Sangzhi is truly worthy of having been in a relationship for several years; her words are so reasonable!
"But..."
Mu Mu suddenly thought of something but cautiously said, "If I continue to be friends with Yong Mu, his sister will keep threatening him, she’ll keep exploiting him..."
"That’s not an issue."
Pu Sangzhi raised her brows slightly, "Do you think there were no problems when I came together with Huo Feng? We faced many problems, but we overcame them one by one. The biggest one was... my family’s debt problem. At that time, I really wanted to leave him, but when I saw how he strived to hold me back, betting his life on me, I felt relieved. I thought, I want to face all problems with him, and to repay his pure heart with the purest feelings. If he doesn’t talk about money then we’ll just talk about feelings. What he wants, I can give..."
"So that’s how you thought..."
Mu Mu’s guilty yet conflicted heart became even more at ease!
She is truly grateful for the guidance Pu Sangzhi gave her, establishing such a viewpoint for her.
This concept is wonderful...
It sounds a bit selfish, but it doesn’t really count as selfish.
Mu Mu also wants to use this mindset to candidly face Yong Mu if he doesn’t talk about reality...
"Look..."
During their conversation, Huo Feng sent a WeChat message to Pu Sangzhi, who happily picked up her phone and showed the screen to Mu Mu, "He messaged me again. He really likes me; he gives all of his affection to me... I just want to respond to his affection and reciprocate his affection."
"Hmm... I get it!"
Mu Mu pursed her lips, her lips slightly curled up, a smile blooming on her face.
This conversation today was evidently a productive one!
Seeing her happy, and that she listened to her words, Pu Sangzhi also felt a sense of accomplishment.
Afterwards, Pu Sangzhi put the phone aside without replying to Huo Feng’s WeChat message...
She planned to finish her instant noodles first before responding...
...
The next day, Pu Sangzhi got up at 7 a.m.
She quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and pulled her suitcase, preparing to leave the dorm.
Mu Mu was still sleeping at that time, and as Pu Sangzhi walked past her bed, she looked up at Mu Mu’s serene sleeping face, and left quietly.
Then, Pu Sangzhi sent Mu Mu a WeChat message: [I’m heading home first, be careful living alone at school. If you feel too lonely or can’t stay anymore, you’re welcome to come to Heilongjiang to see me. If no one is there to chat, you can also message me; I have no plans this holiday, so I’m pretty free. Goodbye!]
Mu Mu later woke up, saw the WeChat message from Pu Sangzhi, and felt warmth in her heart.
Downstairs from Pu Sangzhi’s dormitory, Ye Xi was waiting with his suitcase...
After Pu Sangzhi came downstairs, Ye Xi took hold of Pu Sangzhi’s suitcase spontaneously, laughed and chatted with her as they left.
She remembered at the start of this semester, it was Ye Xi who carried her suitcase and sent her to the dorm and even gave her a bicycle.
Unexpectedly, at the end of this semester, it was also Ye Xi who carried her suitcase and went home with her.
The picture of them leaving together reminded Pu Sangzhi of the beginning of the semester when she first arrived here.
Time flies quickly, seemingly in the blink of an eye, a semester has passed.
Now, it’s time to bid goodbye to Tsinghua Campus.
The journey from Beijing to Shuangya Mountain in Heilongjiang is quite long, involving a train transfer and a few hours of waiting at the transfer station. In short, the whole journey home takes about a day and a half; it’s a particularly long stretch...
Ye Xi’s luggage was stocked with plenty of snacks, and they grabbed a simple breakfast at a cafe near the school before heading to the train station.
They first needed to head to Harbin, and from there transfer to Shuangya Mountain...
On the road, it was just the two of them.
Huo Feng sent Pu Sangzhi a WeChat message early in the morning as he had mentioned before, keeping a watchful eye on her at all times!
Pu Sangzhi was looking at her phone while eating, and checking her messages while traveling, and still chatting during the queue for embarking the train...
Seeing her so busy, Ye Xi asked with curiosity, "Chatting with someone?"
Pu Sangzhi smiled and replied to Ye Xi, "Huo Feng messaged me. He reached home last night and started complaining about boredom early this morning, insisting I chat with him."
For a brief moment, Ye Xi’s face showed a faint trace of disappointment, but he quickly hid his emotions and warmly said: "If it’s not urgent, don’t look at your phone while walking, wait until we board the train to chat with him."
"Alright."
Pu Sangzhi obediently put away her phone, cast a glance at the long queue around her, and pressed her lips together.
"I made a call to Uncle Yu last night."
Ye Xi suddenly mentioned to her, "He seemed to only find out yesterday that I was returning to Heilongjiang with you. Didn’t you tell him?"
"I told my mom already."
Pu Sangzhi looked up at him, "I rarely talk to my dad over the phone, hardly received his calls this semester. Every time I call my mom, she says he’s busy, only sleeping 4~5 hours a day, so I don’t chat with him."
"I see..."
Ye Xi seemed unaware of the situation Pu Sangzhi described, "Uncle Yu never mentioned that to me, had I known, I might have not called him frequently."
"It’s alright..."
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips and didn’t say anything further.
Between them, there was an unspoken silence.
Not knowing when it started, conversations between them gradually decreased...
Perhaps it was because no one initiated a topic or maybe because each was mindful of their own thoughts.
As a result, their relationship didn’t seem as close as before.
Reflecting on it from her perspective, Pu Sangzhi felt she couldn’t chat heart-to-heart with Brother Ye Xi like she used to.
Ever since she realized Brother Ye Xi’s feelings for her...
Finally, in a long line-up, they entered the train station and started the long journey home...
Fortunately, they booked their tickets early; amidst the peak travel period for returning home, they had seats on the train.
The journey was lengthy, yet not exhausting...
...
While Pu Sangzhi was still on her way home, Huo Feng was already comfortably lounging at his own house like a couch potato.
Huo Feng returned for the winter break but didn’t bring Pu Sangzhi home, much to Huo Mingshan’s disappointment!
Last night Huo Mingshan drove to pick up Huo Feng, but ended up picking only him, all the while asking about Pu Sangzhi in the car...
Finally, he sighed and said, "Had I known it was just you, I would’ve let you take a cab back, Mu."
Foremost in Huo Feng’s mind was: "?"
Even this morning, Huo Feng’s thoughts were: "?"
Because, during the same winter break, Huo Mingshan casually strolled into his room, with his hands behind his back, suddenly asked: "Son, I’d really like to know, why didn’t you go with Sangzhi to see her parents?"
Huo Feng, lying in bed playing with his phone, had three question marks above his head...
He felt as if his dad was implying... How come you came back when Sangzhi hasn’t?
He was definitely being looked down upon...
