CHAPTER 862: CHAPTER 843: THE FIRST ARGUMENT (PART 2)

Huo Feng admitted, he acted impulsively before, reading Ye Xi’s diary was indeed a bit unethical.

But if he hadn’t read Ye Xi’s diary, and happened to stumble upon Ye Xi and Pu Sangzhi’s chat records today.

He really wouldn’t have known that this dog Ye Xi was secretly undermining him behind his back!

It’s truly outrageous!

Under the guise of a neighborly brother, taking advantage of the trust of his elders, doing such an immoral thing so covertly.

Pu Sangzhi actually took him as a kind and gentle brother...

All of this really made Huo Feng annoyed!

"Are you getting jealous again or what?"

Pu Sangzhi knew that Huo Feng never liked Ye Xi, he hadn’t liked him since high school, even calling him "dog Ye Xi" not long ago.

But later, he changed to calling him "brother," and Pu Sangzhi thought he had let it go.

Yet now, it appeared he still cared.

Before, Pu Sangzhi would have been a little intolerant of Huo Feng’s pettiness.

But now, Pu Sangzhi herself had personally experienced the feeling of jealousy.

She knew that when someone eye-catching appeared beside her partner, even if they hadn’t done anything outrageous, she couldn’t help but feel jealous inside.

Pu Sangzhi understood this feeling, so she didn’t really want to blame Huo Feng at this moment.

"I’ll say it one more time, Brother Ye Xi is like my biological brother to me, I only regard him as a brother. Any academic guidance and help he’s given me doesn’t mean anything."

Pu Sangzhi defended herself while trying to reassure Huo Feng, "He has always known about my relationship with you. He, like me, only sees me as a sister, and he has never said anything out of line..."

"He hasn’t said anything out of line, but he’s thought about it!"

Huo Feng couldn’t help but interrupt Pu Sangzhi, rebutting her in a rather loud tone.

Perhaps it was because his voice was too loud, other customers in the noodle shop began glancing over at the two of them.

Pu Sangzhi noticed the gazes of the other customers, realizing that this wasn’t the place to argue with Huo Feng. So, she took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her mood, and continued calmly with Huo Feng: "Let’s not argue here. If we need to have a good talk about this, let’s change the venue to discuss it."

"So how are you going to respond to him?" Huo Feng raised his chin, glaring at Pu Sangzhi’s phone with displeasure.

It was evident that this glare was meant for Ye Xi on the other end of the phone.

Only Ye Xi wouldn’t know.

"I’m not going to reply."

Pu Sangzhi calmly said, "I’ll respond to him after I’ve settled it with you and once your emotions have calmed down."

In this way, Pu Sangzhi managed to handle an about-to-explode Huo Feng rather calmly, didn’t she?

She knew that Huo Feng didn’t have the best temper; when he was nice, he could be very nice, but when angry, he could also be scary. Although his outbreaks were rare...

"Hand me the phone; I’ll respond to him."

Huo Feng reached out a hand towards Pu Sangzhi, "I won’t use your identity to reply to him; I’ll directly call him; I have something to say to him."

"What are you doing?"

This time, even Pu Sangzhi couldn’t hold back her temper, "This is between us; don’t drag Brother Ye Xi into it. I know you’re uneasy because you’re worried about me and Brother Ye Xi, I can explain to you, I can reassure you."

"I can’t be reassured!"

Huo Feng rebutted her with four words, "I know what that person’s thinking, but you don’t! I’ve endured it for so long; I can’t endure it anymore! On what grounds does he not allow me to be with you, on what grounds does he think taking you to a hotel is harming you? I haven’t done anything wrong, alright!"

Ye Xi’s words definitely incited something in Huo Feng.

Because Huo Feng truly longed deeply for Pu Sangzhi.

He had had those thoughts since high school...

But he always suppressed them, using strong willpower to suppress them.

Even now in university, the two were officially dating, even having stayed in hotels several times, sharing a bed a few times.

Which time did Huo Feng not hold back?

He believed he had done very well! And he believed he had protected Pu Sangzhi enough!

He chose to be a gentleman over a rogue.

By his nature and personality, he could have been a rogue!

But he wasn’t!

What right does Ye Xi have to question his character like that? To look down on him, Huo Feng, like that? To deem staying with him in a hotel as dirty or as ruining purity?

It’s just Ye Xi judging her as dirty because he still desires her and doesn’t want her to be tainted!

Being a man himself, how could Huo Feng not know what’s in Ye Xi’s mind?

Anyway, he knew it all now, and he was just so pissed off! Absolutely pissed off!

Never mind just arguing with Ye Xi, he almost had the impulse to rush back to school and fight Ye Xi!

Of course, Huo Feng’s excessive reaction once again drew the attention of surrounding customers.

In the eyes of those customers, they were just a quarrelsome young couple.

Every onlooker loves to watch a drama.

And Pu Sangzhi didn’t want to be the subject of entertainment for these people because that would be a joke!

She saw that Huo Feng had completely lost his calm; the meal wasn’t going to happen. So, she put her phone away and said, "Let’s not eat, let’s go out and talk."

Saying that, she picked up her phone and walked straight out of the store.

Huo Feng sat there with a look of annoyance, directing malicious gazes fiercely at the noodles on the table!

Pu Sangzhi had been out of sight for quite a while before he angrily kicked the table leg and muttered a curse, then stood up and followed her outside.

At that time, the customers and staff in the store were startled by him, and few dared to speak.

Huo Feng’s presence was still so imposing that no matter the setting, he could easily command the scene...

Shortly after, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi ended up in a deserted alley outside.

The two stood in the alley, facing each other, each with their back against a wall.

In this moment, it seemed as though they had become two independent planes, or perhaps opposing forces, with the energy around them feeling terribly off.

Since they’d started seeing each other, they’d rarely had such confrontational moments...

This was the first time.

In some sense, this was perhaps their first quarrel after starting a relationship.

Pu Sangzhi still tried her best to stay calm because she wanted to communicate effectively with Huo Feng: "Let’s talk this through properly. You can’t get agitated, can’t get angry, can’t do anything impulsive, and definitely can’t get Brother Ye Xi involved. This is between us; I’m talking with you."

"This isn’t just between us."

Huo Feng interrupted her, "This is between me and Ye Xi; talking with you won’t help. Either you call him so I can talk, or we go back to school, and I find him."

"Stop targeting Brother Ye Xi like that!"

Seeing him still so irrational, Pu Sangzhi was genuinely angry, "He never once said anything bad about you to me, nor did he ever oppose us. What you saw is the only time he intervened between us on this matter. He just didn’t want me spending the night alone with you, which is what my dad told him to do; he’s just supervising me for my dad."

"Are you stupid? Can’t you see it?"

Huo Feng couldn’t help raising his voice, "I see it crystal clear: he likes you; it’s written in black and white in his diary! He likes you, wants to marry you; he’s waiting for you to grow up! He doesn’t even know if he can give up on you! That’s the situation!"

Huo Feng was so angry that he exploded, disclosing that he had secretly read Ye Xi’s diary.

He said it all in one breath, without a pause, without a hitch, so smoothly that Pu Sangzhi hadn’t reacted right away.

It wasn’t until after he finished speaking and several seconds had passed that Pu Sangzhi realized what exactly he had said.

She took a deep breath, her heart pounding faster for no apparent reason.

"I’ve known for a long time; I just held back from saying! I wanted to be oblivious like you, but I’ve held it in for so long!"

Huo Feng angrily exhaled loudly, "But look at what he’s doing today! He’s talking bad about me to you! He’s interfering with us; he’s threatening you! And you? You’re still defending him; where’s your intelligence? Aren’t you a genius? Can’t you even see this much?"

Completely bewildered, Pu Sangzhi took a hit from Huo Feng’s wave of sarcasm, realizing his anger had already spread from Ye Xi directly to her.

"Are you angry with me now?"

Once Pu Sangzhi came to her senses, she first set aside the issue of Ye Xi liking her; it was Huo Feng’s attitude that saddened her, "You’re mad at me? Are you wanting to break up?"
