CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 847: SANGZHI LIES TO YE XI FOR THE FIRST TIME! (PART 2)

Finally, after some sincere explanation from Pu Sangzhi, Huo Feng’s mood improved.

She started to bicker and joke with Huo Feng...

The dating atmosphere between the two returned to its previous state, sweet and loving, as close as glue and lacquer.

Seeing that Huo Feng’s mood had nearly recovered, Pu Sangzhi pulled out her phone and asked Huo Feng, "Can I text Brother Ye Xi now and trick him a little?"

The main reason Huo Feng reluctantly nodded was because he heard the words ’trick him,’ "Alright, but I want to see what you send!"

Of course, Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t hide it from Huo Feng.

She generously took out her phone and opened Ye Xi’s WeChat profile.

At that moment, she and Huo Feng discovered that Ye Xi had sent several more WeChat messages, all with a very targeted language.

Ye Xi sent: [Where are you now? Where are you going to play in the afternoon? Regardless of where, no matter how late, you must return to campus, understand?]

Ye Xi also sent: [Call me when you’re done, or I’ll come to pick you up. There’s no way you can stay outside with Huo Feng. How can a girl your age stay outside with a boy? Even if he’s your boyfriend, it’s still inappropriate!]

Ye Xi: [Not responding to messages anymore?]

Ye Xi: [You might think I’m harsh, but you really need to listen to me at this time. No matter how good Huo Feng is to you, he’s still a man, so you shouldn’t do inappropriate things at an inappropriate age. Definitely not! Making one mistake is enough, stop the losses in time!]

Ye Xi: [Sangzhi, I’m telling you very seriously now, you’re a girl; don’t do anything that lowers your value. I haven’t told Uncle yet, but if you don’t come back tonight, I’ll definitely call Uncle. Don’t blame me for being heartless then. In this school, I’m like a senior figure to you, I must take care of you on behalf of Uncle...]

Ye Xi: [Sangzhi, reply to me. Please answer the phone...]

Ye Xi was indeed very worried about Pu Sangzhi, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent such a long screen of messages to persuade her.

Huo Feng looked at the words Ye Xi sent, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he couldn’t help but burst out, "Look at what he’s saying! It’s like I’m taking advantage of you, when in fact, I’m a perfect gentleman, right? I’ve never even taken off your clothes!"

"Hey!"

Pu Sangzhi quickly reached out to cover his mouth, glaring at him, "In public, keep it down!"

Huo Feng grabbed her wrist, moved her hand away, and said angrily, "He thinks I’m a beast! He’s the one with the dirty mind, a hypocrite!"

"Alright, don’t be mad anymore."

Pu Sangzhi gently patted Huo Feng on the chest. Today, she didn’t know how many times she had comforted Huo Feng.

"Brother Ye Xi perceives you like this, it really is biased. But, he’s just seeing things through the eyes of the public. From another angle, it shows that you’re not an ordinary person; you truly cherish me, that’s why you’ve always been such a gentleman, right?" Pu Sangzhi purposely said something nice to console Huo Feng.

Huo Feng was quite receptive to her comfort, and his mood immediately lightened a lot, "Exactly! I’m a gentleman by nature! He thinks all the men in the world are as dirty-minded as him!"

Pu Sangzhi glanced at him, sighed softly, and swiftly changed the topic, "The priority now is to think of a way to trick Brother Ye Xi. Otherwise, if he really calls my dad, I’m in real trouble."

Pu Sangzhi was a girl who never lied.

She couldn’t tell lies and wasn’t good at lying.

But for Huo Feng, she’s already preparing to lie.

"Is your dad close to him?" Huo Feng asked with a raised eyebrow.

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "My dad really likes Brother Ye Xi, and Brother Ye Xi really admires my dad. My dad graduated from Tsinghua, and when he was neighbors with Brother Ye Xi, he always gave Brother Ye Xi very positive guidance. Brother Ye Xi has admired my dad since childhood, which is why he aspired to get into Tsinghua. That’s basically the relationship, so when I came to Tsinghua, my dad entrusted Brother Ye Xi to look after me. He calls Brother Ye Xi more each month than he calls me and often asks about my situation..."

So today, passing this hurdle with Ye Xi was imperative for Pu Sangzhi.

Otherwise, if Ye Xi really called her dad, she couldn’t imagine the consequences...

She feared her dad would come to the school and confront Huo Feng...

Her fingers hovered over the phone, typing furiously, trying to find a reason to deceive Ye Xi.

But because she wasn’t cut out for lying, she typed and deleted several times.

Huo Feng, seeing her repeated actions, asked anxiously, "Haven’t you thought of something yet? How to lie?"

Pu Sangzhi responded, "I was thinking to trick Brother Ye Xi by saying we’re returning to the school to stay the night. But then I thought, what if he’s waiting at the school gate for us to return? He’s very likely to do that."

Huo Feng was also immensely bothered by this Ye Xi, "Then tell him we’re not going back tonight, but we’ve booked two rooms! I’ll book another room on Meituan now and send you both booking numbers, then you can send the screenshot to him!"

"Okay!"

Pu Sangzhi had to admit that Huo Feng was quite adept in such scheming aspects.

So, Huo Feng quickly went back on Meituan, booked another room in addition to the one he had originally booked, and sent the booking screenshots to Pu Sangzhi.

Pu Sangzhi sent the screenshot to Ye Xi, with an accompanying message: [Brother Ye Xi, please don’t misunderstand. We’re sleeping in two rooms. Every time we spend the night outside, it’s in two rooms. I will look after myself, thank you for your concern.]

After sending that, Pu Sangzhi showed the message to Huo Feng, "Do you think this will work?"

The main reason she asked was to console Huo Feng.

Stuck between Ye Xi and Huo Feng, she found it rather challenging to be in the middle.

Yet, Pu Sangzhi’s stance was clear.

She knew what she was doing and knew that she and Huo Feng were on the same side.

So, Huo Feng could only let go of the unpleasant feelings stirred by Dog Ye Xi, at least temporarily!

"Alright then, let’s do it!" Huo Feng said.

Just after they finished speaking, Ye Xi sent another WeChat message.

Good at observing, Ye Xi pointed out the two times on this screenshot and then said: [One room was booked last night, and another one was just booked. Are you two conspiring to lie to me? Sangzhi, this isn’t a joking matter. Don’t think I’m trying to interfere; you should understand these principles!]

"Why does this screenshot still have times on it?" Pu Sangzhi was instantly dumbfounded.

It was her first time lying, and she was exposed straight away!

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi was utterly flustered and embarrassed!

It’s over...

She truly didn’t know how to face Ye Xi now!

She should have examined the screenshot properly before!

Even lying requires carefulness!

"Oops..."

Huo Feng was also stunned, "I didn’t realize there were times on it either, it’s my first time noticing."

"What should we do?"

Pu Sangzhi nervously tugged at Huo Feng’s clothes, "Brother Ye Xi will definitely think I’m a habitual liar now. He won’t trust me anymore... What should I say to him next? He won’t believe anything I say, right?"

"Stay calm, stay calm..."

Huo Feng quickly embraced Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, gave her a little shake, and told her to calm down.

After thinking for a while, Huo Feng suggested, "Just tell him that the time isn’t what’s important; what’s important is the two rooms. The first room was initially booked because I had plans to meet friends at the bar for an all-nighter, and didn’t plan on sleeping. The room was booked for you, does that work?"

"Another lie?

Having been caught lying the first time, Pu Sangzhi didn’t have the courage anymore. "Maybe we should stop lying. To cover up one lie, you need thousands more lies. What if Brother Ye Xi finds some other details? I’ll really become known as a compulsive liar then."

"Then just tell him the truth?"

Huo Feng raised one eyebrow, "If you tell him the truth, too, he’d lose confidence in you. Just stick to the lie!"

"Ah..."

Pu Sangzhi suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort.

"Just send it like that!"

Seeing her hesitation, Huo Feng said, "Anyway, just say that for now, the next lie I can cover for you, I’ll cooperate."
