CHAPTER 873: CHAPTER 855: HUO FENG ANNOYS YOU XINRAN AGAIN! (PART 1)

You Xinran never expected that Huo Feng and his girlfriend had reached the stage of getting a hotel room.

Therefore, upon hearing Huo Feng say he was going to the hotel to find his girlfriend, You Xinran’s heart skipped a beat, a faint feeling of discomfort arising within her, yet she couldn’t look at Huo Feng with strange eyes.

Because college students are adults.

This kind of thing is normal for college students.

You Xinran now understood even more clearly that the reason Huo Feng was so responsible for his girlfriend was certainly partly due to this reason, right?

Perhaps, his girlfriend’s first time was given to him.

Judging by his extremely responsible attitude towards people and matters, if his girlfriend’s first time was given to him, he might indeed recognize her...

In that instant, You Xinran thought a lot.

But she didn’t show it, she still jokingly teased Huo Feng with a normal attitude, "Then how could you bear to leave your girlfriend alone at the hotel and come to hang out with us?"

Huo Feng shook his head and sighed, "I can’t bear it. It’s because of reasons on her end, I’m just cooperating with her."

Upon hearing this, You Xinran’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, "What kind of reasons could there be? Isn’t a date supposed to prioritize the boyfriend?"

Uh...

This last question from You Xinran made Huo Feng smell a hint of a green tea vibe.

He was after all a man who browses TikTok a lot, seeing many such segments that incite discord.

"Hey, are you trying to stir up trouble?"

With Huo Feng’s straightforward attitude towards other girls, he directly told You Xinran, "If I hear you say a bad word about my girlfriend again, I’ll turn on you immediately."

You Xinran froze for a moment, then said a bit aggrievedly, "I didn’t say anything bad about her..."

"There isn’t the slightest problem between my girlfriend and me, stop commenting on our relationship. I’m telling you, we’re not that close for you to evaluate my relationship."

Huo Feng clicked his tongue, suddenly thinking of something, and his thick eyebrows furrowed even more, "I notice you always badmouth my girlfriend in front of me, what’s going on with you? Trying to ruin our relationship? What’s your motive? Are you into me, Huo Feng?"

The last suspicion, Huo Feng didn’t voice out.

He just kept it in his heart suspiciously.

Some things, if asked out loud with even a slight inappropriate tone, would seem like flirting.

Huo Feng didn’t want to create such trouble.

You Xinran, attacked by his series of words, was a bit dazed, and only after a while did she slowly react, her face not as good as before.

"I wasn’t trying to ruin your relationship, I just said it casually."

You Xinran pursed her lips uncomfortably, "If you don’t want to hear it, then I won’t say it in the future; I don’t want to meddle in your personal affairs."

When she said this, Huo Feng was looking at her with a strange expression, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "By the way, I’m not playing the male lead in ’Phantom of the Opera’. Just said it casually to deal with your dad, didn’t mean to play the lead."

"Got it, I didn’t think you’re that impressive either..."

As they continued chatting, You Xinran suddenly didn’t want to talk to Huo Feng anymore.

In her heart, she had all sorts of good impressions of Huo Feng, and Huo Feng held countless merits.

But, every time she truly communicated with him, it was hard to gain even a trace of tenderness from him.

You Xinran had felt disappointed and angry with him more than once or twice.

Each time after communicating with him, she was somewhat negatively emotional, somewhat down.

But, she realized that...

As long as she calmed down, as long as she recalled several times, she could find explanations for Huo Feng’s slight bad attitude and harsh words.

Then, what remained in her heart were still Huo Feng’s merits. She knew Huo Feng was a dedicated good man, a man who puts his girlfriend first in everything.

Such a man might not take a glance at other women, but his girlfriend would definitely be very happy.

Perhaps, she knew she had fallen for Huo Feng.

However, she didn’t yet realize that she only liked the imaginary Huo Feng in her mind.

Many people have such emotional experiences...

When falling for someone, they magnify the person’s merits countless times in their mind, overshadowing all flaws.

And when truly dating, as the other’s flaws are more exposed, the illusion that the other has changed grows.

In fact, the other hadn’t changed, it was just that the initial view was too idealized.

Of course, You Xinran hadn’t realized this yet.

She would still continue to like Huo Feng with her imagined ideal, but once some things become excessive obsessions, they often become sharp blades that hurt.

...

As soon as Huo Feng entered the karaoke room, he was welcomed with applause from all the classmates inside, who clapped and called out to him, "Bro Feng is here!"

"Bro Feng, we’ve been waiting for you for so long!"

"Drink up, Huo Feng."

From the enthusiastic reception by his classmates, it was evident that Huo Feng held a high position in the Musical Club.

With such a personality, Huo Feng has been a leader in every group since childhood. This occasion was no exception...

Huo Feng smiled and mingled with his classmates, but his purpose was quite evident.

He went directly to the male classmate sitting in a corner, holding a beer and playing on his phone...

The Musical Club’s star playwright, Lin Cong.

Huo Feng just wanted to find him!

"Hey, Brother Lin Cong!"

As soon as Huo Feng sat down, he wrapped an arm around Lin Cong’s shoulder and enthusiastically patted him twice, "I sent you a WeChat last time, how come you didn’t reply?"

But in reality, the moment he sat down, Lin Cong felt an immense pressure!

Because, last time, Lin Cong purposely didn’t reply to Huo Feng’s WeChat.

Huo Feng keeps urging him to write the script!

"I... might have replied with my mind," Lin Cong said, trembling.

"No worries, honestly, I don’t have much going on."

Huo Feng squeezed Lin Cong’s shoulder, "About that script, do you have any idea about it? Started working on it yet?"

"No..."

Lin Cong could only answer Huo Feng this way.

In fact, Lin Cong had conveyed Huo Feng’s idea to You Xinran, who completely rejected it.

You Xinran said the schedule for this semester was tight.

At most, they’d shoot another promotional video, then start preparing for the rehearsal of "Phantom of the Opera". There wasn’t enough time to handle Huo Feng’s script, so his request could wait until next year!

And then...

Lin Cong didn’t dare face Huo Feng anymore.

He also didn’t dare convey You Xinran’s thoughts to Huo Feng. He knew You Xinran and Huo Feng’s opposing relationship in the club only eased not long ago...

Everyone in the club knew You Xinran and Huo Feng were pillars of the Musical Club, and both had strong personalities. If they started arguing, the club’s atmosphere would explode.

So, to maintain peace in the club, Lin Cong planned to keep this matter under wraps.

"Brother Lin Cong, have you been very busy lately?"

Huo Feng patted Lin Cong’s shoulder, thought it over, and decided not to make things difficult for him, saying, "How about this? You give me a few sample drafts, let me see how scripts are roughly written. I’ll brainstorm them myself and then hand them over for your review, okay?"

"Alright..." Lin Cong could only agree with gritted teeth.

"Remember to send them to me, thanks."

After he agreed, Huo Feng casually picked up a bottle of beer from the table, opened it, and clinked Lin Cong’s bottle.

"No problem." Lin Cong nodded helplessly.

Huo Feng beside him took a sip from the bottle, pulled out his phone from his pocket, and immediately opened Pu Sangzhi’s WeChat, sending her a message: [Wifey, are you asleep yet? Asleep yet?]

Pu Sangzhi quickly replied: [Not yet, about to sleep now.]

Huo Feng asked again: [Did the annoying Ye Xi come to talk to you?]

Pu Sangzhi replied: [No. Why would he come chat with me?]

Because before Huo Feng left, he had a go at Ye Xi...

If Ye Xi hadn’t gone to her to talk things over, could he now be in his room sulking?

Huo Feng furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then replied to Pu Sangzhi: [It’s nothing, I just talked some manly talk with him.]

Pu Sangzhi: [Alright.]

Pu Sangzhi didn’t ask what Huo Feng said, because even if he didn’t say, she could guess Huo Feng must have said something assertive.

She knew Huo Feng too well...

Huo Feng messaged her again: [Keep an eye out for me, let me know what time is appropriate for me to come back. Thank you, wifey!]

Pu Sangzhi: [I’m going to sleep, you can come back at midnight. Anyway, you took the room card with you.]

Huo Feng: [Alright...]

Huo Feng thought, to be safe, he could head back earlier.

Looks like he really has to wait until midnight.

"Huo Feng, sing a song!" A male classmate invited Huo Feng to come up and sing.

Huo Feng waved his hand, "Later, you guys sing first."

Lin Cong, beside him, surreptitiously peeked at Huo Feng’s side profile, staring for about half a minute...

Just as he was about to lose focus, suddenly Lin Cong’s gaze passed through Huo Feng’s side profile, discovering another angle where a pair of eyes were intently watching Huo Feng.

You Xinran!

Lin Cong blinked, repeatedly confirmed.

He was certain, the direction You Xinran looked now was directly at Huo Feng!

You Xinran was watching Huo Feng!

And her gaze was very peculiar...

Lin Cong seemed to have stumbled upon something significant.

At the time, Huo Feng was still looking down at his phone.

Lin Cong also observed, Huo Feng was looking at his girlfriend’s photo, fully focused on editing it...

Emm...

"Are you going to post on Moments again?" Lin Cong asked offhandedly.

"Of course."

Huo Feng replied without hesitation, "Look, I’ve shot quite a few nice photos this afternoon, aren’t they pretty?"

Lin Cong: "Pretty..."
