Chapter 939: Chapter 921: Sangzhi, I’ll Come Find You as Soon as I Get My Driver’s License! (32)
After boarding the train, Pu Sangzhi basically never stopped chatting with Huo Feng.
First, it was exchanging messages on WeChat, then video chatting...
Even though they saw each other every day at school, they still had endless topics to talk about.
Later, they talked until Pu Sangzhi’s phone became hot, and she told Huo Feng she had to stop, urging him to get up and take care of his business.
During the call, Huo Feng had mentioned several important things he needed to do.
He wanted to learn how to drive, get a driver’s license, and hang out with his buddies...
With so many things piling up, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t sure if he could come to Heilongjiang to see her.
However, if he couldn’t make it, it wouldn’t matter much to Pu Sangzhi.
After all, they could be together every day at school, so being apart for a winter break didn’t really count for much.
After stopping the chat with Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi put away her phone and plugged it into a power bank to charge.
Beside her, Ye Xi had opened his laptop after boarding and was focused on reviewing his experiment report, absorbed in writing his paper.
Of course, he only appeared to be focused on the surface; in reality, his mind was entirely on Pu Sangzhi by his side...
Don’t be fooled by his gaze fixed on the computer screen; his ears were always tuned into Pu Sangzhi’s chat with Huo Feng.
Even though Pu Sangzhi wore headphones and he couldn’t hear Huo Feng’s voice,
he could sense that they were having a good chat, given her cheerful tone.
Later, Ye Xi also paid attention to the conversation between Huo Feng’s father and Pu Sangzhi, having heard from the elders that Huo Feng’s father was Pu Sangzhi’s homeroom teacher.
This connection had once made Ye Xi feel somewhat jealous...
In retrospect, Ye Xi’s feelings were still complicated.
To be precise, Ye Xi’s mood at that moment wasn’t very good.
But he couldn’t show his negative emotions to Pu Sangzhi...
"Have you finished chatting?" Ye Xi asked Pu Sangzhi.
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Yes, finished. My phone was too hot and drained the battery quickly. So, I’m charging it now..."
"Mm. Do you want to eat something?" Ye Xi asked again.
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "I’m not very hungry... Brother Ye Xi, are you working on your paper now?"
Ye Xi slowly nodded, "Yes."
Seeing how busy he was, Pu Sangzhi decided not to disturb him, "Then go ahead and work, Brother Ye Xi, I’ll find a book to read."
Pu Sangzhi picked up her backpack from the floor, opened it, and took out a thick stack of books.
Pu Sangzhi’s love for reading persisted and wouldn’t change easily.
However, it’s uncertain if she remembered that it was Ye Xi who instilled this trait in her...
When they were young, Ye Xi often shared extracurricular reading materials with her, sharing insights he gained, and broadening her knowledge.
Later, Pu Sangzhi borrowed and re-read those extracurricular books Ye Xi shared with her.
Gradually, she developed a love for reading.
Ye Xi, noticing her love for books, would buy books despite his busy schedule.
He often bought a batch of ’fresh’ books, placing them on the shelf, and only after he’d read them and found deep meanings in them would he recommend them to her.
When they were young, Ye Xi invested much more time and energy in her than he did in his own sister, Ye Qingcao.
Since childhood, Ye Xi wanted to teach her well, leading her onto the right path, cultivating the correct values, discerning right from wrong, and understanding good from evil...
He gradually educated her into a well-read, cultured, gracious, and elegant young girl.
And gradually, she took up residence in his heart...
Yet, before she could fully bloom, she was claimed by someone else first.
When she finally blossomed with her full charm, she belonged to someone else...
Ye Xi’s gaze lingered on her profoundly, lost in thought for quite some time...
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi only had her head down reading and didn’t notice Ye Xi’s gaze; had she looked up slightly, she would have met his unusual look.
But she didn’t...
Ye Xi only withdrew his gaze after a long silence, turned his head, and continued focusing on his experiment report and paper.
The atmosphere between the two was always quiet...
Growing up, whenever Pu Sangzhi was by Ye Xi’s side, she was a serene and composed little girl.
She never made a fuss with Ye Xi and generally believed whatever he said.
Ye Xi, in turn, pampered her immensely; anything she wanted, he’d give her if he had it.
Their shared space was mostly filled with silence.
Either reading together or watching movies together...
Yes...
When she was a child, Pu Sangzhi also enjoyed watching movies with Ye Xi.
Both of them enjoyed watching art films and stories of love that start with emotions but adhere to reason.
If there was ever a kissing scene in these films, Ye Xi would cover her eyes, trying to shield her from content not suitable for children.
So even now, it’s quite normal for their shared moments to be silent.
Because that’s how they’ve always interacted since they were young.
Pu Sangzhi would focus on her book, and Ye Xi either focused on accompanying her or concentrating on his own matters...
When she stumbled upon particularly touching segments in her books, she would share them with Ye Xi, and they would enthusiastically discuss the story...
In fact, when Ye Xi was younger, he often imagined in his mind that if they could grow up together into adulthood, he would marry her someday.
Because life with her...
Was like a slow, flowing stream, as calm as the lush bamboo, experiencing the simplicity of life and peacefully spending their years together.
They could go a lifetime without arguments, be mutually supportive, and respect each other forever...
That kind of life together, Ye Xi now dared not to dream of any longer.
Now, Ye Xi’s mind was consumed by one thought: to let her go!
From a long time ago, he kept telling himself he must let her go, and not think selfish thoughts about her anymore.
He constantly restrained and suppressed his feelings, even attempting to let time dilute these emotions.
But up to now... there was no progress at all.
Just like now...
Just like earlier...
Hearing her flirt and banter with Huo Feng, hearing her bask in the goodwill from Huo Feng’s father, Ye Xi felt anguished and stifled!
But he couldn’t show it, nor could he speak of it.
He simply had to endure.
...
On their way home, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi didn’t talk much.
Since Huo Feng had gone out to enroll in a driving school, busy with his business, she now had time to quietly read her book.
Sometimes, encountering amusing storylines, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
That’s when Ye Xi would speak to her, and they would briefly discuss the storyline.
Their exchanges were only so.
Apart from that, the occasional chats were merely about eating, being hungry, suggesting ordering food, etc.
The day-long journey was smoothly passed by Pu Sangzhi.
Of course, she also frequently picked up her phone to check Huo Feng’s updates.
To let her know what he was doing, Huo Feng posted quite a bit on his social media over the day...
He went to a driving school...
He went out with his buddies...
They were gaming in an internet café...
They ate barbecue and drank at a BBQ restaurant...
They sang...
Huo Feng presented his carefree life perfectly on social media today! All hoping for Pu Sangzhi to like his posts...
Since she didn’t like his posts, he would privately message her, asking if she had seen them?
Then he would tell her to check his social media posts and like them, or else he wouldn’t post anymore!
Pu Sangzhi was frequently ’threatened’ by him like this, yet she enjoyed these childish ’threats.’
In truth... it could also count as flirtation!
In the evening, Huo Feng began taking his online driving theory courses...
He planned to complete the theory lessons as fast as possible to register for the test!
Afterwards, Huo Mingshan would surely arrange immediately for a coach to train him for the second stage test!
Huo Feng also intended to swiftly pass stages two and three! Stage four was simple...
He had done his research...
As a student, he could take advantage of the ’green channel’ during holidays when learning to drive, allowing for faster exam scheduling.
Therefore, Huo Feng’s current plan was to obtain his driver’s license within half a month. Then, spend two days visiting relatives, and head over with his luggage to spend the New Year with Pu Sangzhi!
He was deeply immersed in his plans...
On the other hand, Pu Sangzhi appeared to take everything in stride.
This winter break, Pu Sangzhi had no specific plans.
The only thing she wanted to do was to go to the construction site to learn...
As a Civil Engineering Department student, going to the construction site to gain practical experience is essential!
