CHAPTER 879: CHAPTER 861: YOU XINRAN STILL FAILS TO SUCCEED! (PART 1)

In the Musical Club, Lin Cong was definitely the first to realize that You Xinran liked Huo Feng.

Aside from him, Wu Di was the second one.

Wu Di secretly liked You Xinran, so upon learning this news, he was filled with disappointment.

He endured the heartache of unrequited love and, following You Xinran’s words, sent a rejection message to Huo Feng.

Initially agreeing so easily with Huo Feng, and then immediately regretting...

At this moment, apart from the disappointment brought to him by You Xinran, Wu Di also felt guilty facing Huo Feng.

Because he had changed his mind.

The message Wu Di was editing was written, deleted, and written again, throughout which his heart was torn...

He didn’t even know what kind of wording would calm Huo Feng down...

He knew too well that Huo Feng had a bad temper and was someone who needed to be placated.

Therefore, this rejection message to Huo Feng took Wu Di a long time to edit.

In the end, he repeatedly read it over several times, using very humble and sincere words to gently decline Huo Feng.

Wu Di was also prepared to appease Huo Feng.

He would endure whatever situation might arise!

...

Meanwhile, at another hotel, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi had received their delivery and were getting ready in the morning.

The delivery was placed on the bedside table as the two of them brushed their teeth together in the bathroom.

Facing the same mirror, they brushed their teeth in sync, a few brushes on the left side, a few brushes on the right, with both pairs of eyes watching each other in the mirror...

This morning was like that of a newlywed couple, with a sweet, sugary atmosphere filling the air.

Suddenly, while brushing, Huo Feng freed a hand to embrace Pu Sangzhi’s slender waist, smiling with narrowed eyes while continuing to brush his teeth...

The one-sixty-something Pu Sangzhi stood beside the one-eighty-plus Huo Feng, with a height difference of a dozen centimeters, making her appear unusually petite and delicate next to the tall and charismatic Huo Feng, creating a loving scene.

Pu Sangzhi also smiled with narrowed eyes, and at that moment, Huo Feng raised a hand to ruffle her hair, causing her heart to melt in that instant...

After brushing teeth, they rinsed and wiped their faces together.

Huo Feng wrung a damp towel for her, waiting for her to finish before wringing a new towel for himself.

After a refreshing morning routine, they walked out of the bathroom together and sat by the small table in the room with their breakfast.

For breakfast, they ordered buns, mung bean milk, and fried dough rings.

The mung bean milk and fried dough rings were specialties of Old Beijing, must-try bites for anyone visiting Beijing.

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng tried them for the first time.

Pu Sangzhi leisurely opened the delivery box while Huo Feng noticed his phone was lit up and first took it to read the messages.

Wu Di sent him a long message...

Huo Feng was reading it.

[Huo Feng, I’m really very sorry! So, so sorry!

I just received your application files and immediately went to handle this. However, after communicating with a few senior members, they all said our club is full this semester and cannot recruit new members.

This concerns club regulations and operational rules. Every senior member said it’s impossible, and I’m very regretful.

Really very sorry, thinking back on how quickly I promised you. The rules are unyielding, and I’m helpless.

I somewhat understand why you want your girlfriend to join the club with us?

Perhaps because you think the club activities will occupy a lot of your time, leaving you with little time to date and see your girlfriend.

But that’s okay.

As long as your girlfriend wants to see you, she can come to the club without any problem. When we’re rehearsing, she can come, too. We welcome any students to watch us rehearse.

If she wants to volunteer to help out, that’s also possible. But the rule restricts new members this semester.

So, I’m truly so, so sorry!

If you’re mad, just yell at me! I shouldn’t have made promises so rashly, shouldn’t have agreed so quickly, you’re surely disappointed! Just vent at me!]

It was such a humble plea...

Honestly, this outcome greatly frustrated Huo Feng.

But, Wu Di’s apology and attitude rendered Huo Feng incapable of getting angry at him.

Huo Feng read the words over several times...

Next to him, Pu Sangzhi took a sip of mung bean milk, raising her eyes to look at him.

Seeing his tightly furrowed brows, Pu Sangzhi silently offered him a drink, bringing it to his lips.

Annoyed, Huo Feng took a big gulp of the mung bean milk and then...

"Pft!"

The next second, the milk sprayed from his mouth like a water jet!

"Hahaha~"

Beside him, Pu Sangzhi burst into laughter, Huo Feng, meanwhile, stuck out his tongue, putting down his phone, hastily grabbed tissues, muttering unclearly, "What the heck? Ah~ so disgusting~"

The legendary sourness of Old Beijing’s mung bean milk... It was simply outrageous!

"Was it good?"

Pu Sangzhi also quickly grabbed tissues, went over to wipe his mouth, laughing as she said, "Please give a one-sentence review of the taste of Old Beijing’s mung bean milk."

Huo Feng promptly took a bite of a bun, trying to suppress the flavor in his mouth, then furrowed his brow, shaking his head as he said, "What the heck is this, it’s like pickle brine?! So rancid!"

"Very bad taste indeed."

Pu Sangzhi nodded and said, "I just took a small sip, and it’s super bad."

"Yet you handed it to me!"

Huo Feng widened his eyes, yelled at her, "You didn’t warn me, let me drink so much in one go! You’re killing me!"

Pu Sangzhi stuck out her tongue playfully, "I wanted to see your reaction..."

"You see now, isn’t it amusing? Does it make you laugh!?"

Huo Feng spoke so loudly, but without truly sounding angry.

Because the mishap with the Old Beijing mung bean milk successfully shifted Huo Feng’s attention from the club issue, lightening his mood.

While they wiped the table where Huo Feng had sprayed the milk, Pu Sangzhi asked what he’d been reading?

Huo Feng casually told Pu Sangzhi, "It was our senior at the club, sending a long message apologizing, saying the club is fully staffed and there’s no budget for new members this semester. So, you can’t join this semester, but you can apply next semester."

"So that’s it..."

Upon hearing the news, Pu Sangzhi felt a bit disappointed inside, but it wasn’t a big deal, so she didn’t show it.

"Sweetheart, do you want to join our club?"

Huo Feng observed Pu Sangzhi’s expression, seeing she wasn’t too disappointed, he said, "If you really want to join, I can talk to other club members, and even if I can’t bring both of you in, getting you in is possible. But if you’re not particularly keen, I think it’s better not to join. You know, I might even quit the club next semester."

"You’re quitting the club?"

Pu Sangzhi was slightly surprised, "Why? Don’t you like performing?"

She had assumed Huo Feng loved performing and never wanted to keep him from doing what he likes, so she thought about joining the club with him.

Turns out, he suddenly said he wanted to leave the club...

This was unexpected and Pu Sangzhi didn’t quite know how to respond.

"I do like it, but it doesn’t make money."

Huo Feng took a bite of a bun, casually responded to Pu Sangzhi, "I’m all about making money now, not interested in maintaining hobbies. I want nothing to do with things that don’t pay~"

"Hey..."

Such a reason left Pu Sangzhi speechless.

"I was thinking about quitting this semester, but our club really appreciates me now, everyone says I’m the mainstay. Quitting now seems ungracious. So, I’ve decided to wait until the club trains another male lead before I step down."

As Huo Feng spoke, he munched on a bun, "I’m not even playing the main role anymore, for the next performance, they want to pick a new male lead. Once Sijiu settles in, I’ll gracefully retire!"

"So you have such plans..."

Had he not mentioned it, Pu Sangzhi would not have known he intended such.

"So..."

Huo Feng raised his brows at Pu Sangzhi, "I ask if you really want in the club? If you truly do, I’ll talk to some folks and figure it out, you should be able to join."

"Then I’ll pass on joining."

Pu Sangzhi discarded the idea, "Since you plan to quit, there’s no need for me to join."

"Mm~"

Huo Feng leaned close to her, "But you can often visit me at the club if you miss me~"

"Can I? Won’t it be frowned upon?" Pu Sangzhi asked.

"No."

Huo Feng raised his head, "Who dares to stop my girlfriend from visiting?! No one has the authority!"

"Alright."

Pu Sangzhi smiled, "Then next time I’ll watch your rehearsal."

You Xinran would never think, while she had ways to reject Huo Feng, Huo Feng had other avenues...
