CHAPTER 890: CHAPTER 872: HONEY, YOU STAYED UP LATE FOR ME! (PART 2)

Afterwards, Yong Mu told Huo Feng everything about his situation in detail.

It turns out...

Zhou Mumu hasn’t been eating with him or Pu Sangzhi lately; she eats with her dormmates Minal and Wei Zixuan every day.

They’ve formed a trio, eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, going to class, and returning to the dormitory together.

They even study in the library together...

Yong Mu followed Zhou Mumu for several days. Seeing her living so freely, he felt relieved, but he also felt uncomfortable.

Because he and Zhou Mumu haven’t reconciled yet.

If they were on good terms, Yong Mu wouldn’t mind Zhou Mumu pairing up with the other two girls.

But since their previous failed communication, there hasn’t been any interaction between them...

Yong Mu still occasionally tries to find Zhou Mumu, but her attitude towards him remains cold, replying with one or two words, at most five.

At this point, Yong Mu’s sister Yong Xi happens to be crazily infatuated with Huo Feng!

It proves that the influence of TikTok is indeed powerful...

Ever since Huo Feng became popular on TikTok, Yong Xi has been asking Yong Mu for all sorts of information about him.

She’s particularly interested in Huo Feng, even telling Yong Mu that if he helps her meet Huo Feng seriously once, she’ll stop targeting Zhou Mumu.

Yong Mu thought: If he can get Yong Xi on board, he would have the confidence to reconcile with Zhou Mumu, even if it means thickening his skin, because then he can ensure that Yong Xi won’t interfere in his relationship with Zhou Mumu...

Therefore, Yong Mu desperately needs Huo Feng’s help!

Yong Mu told Huo Feng everything without holding anything back.

Huo Feng read the wall of WeChat messages he received from Yong Mu with disdain...

Truth be told... Huo Feng didn’t really want to help!

He disliked that little wild girl using his fame as leverage over Yong Mu! It’s laughable!

So, Huo Feng rejected Yong Mu: "Even though you sound pathetic, I’m not moved at all and I kinda want to mock you... foolish!"

Yong Mu had sincerely confessed everything to Huo Feng...

He always thought Huo Feng was easygoing and loyal, but he was surprised to be turned down so bluntly.

Yong Mu couldn’t speak ill of Huo Feng, so he silently sighed inwardly.

Then, Yong Mu responded to Huo Feng’s WeChat: "Sorry, Feng, let’s pretend I didn’t say any of this. Sorry to bother you."

His attitude was very humble...

And maybe he did look pitiful...

Huo Feng, that guy, his heart is frustratingly soft!

After struggling for three minutes, Huo Feng picked up his phone again, replying to Yong Mu: "You should tell your sister, I’m not a commodity to be traded at will just because someone wants it."

Yong Mu, still conflicted, replied to Huo Feng: "Okay, Feng, I’ll let her know exactly. Sorry for bothering you with this, let’s pretend I didn’t mention it."

Yong Mu’s weak attitude always made Huo Feng feel sorry for him...

Seeing Yong Mu’s latest message, Huo Feng originally planned to ignore him, leaving his phone stationary beside his computer for several minutes.

He even chatted in the QQ group for quite a while...

Ultimately, he couldn’t let it go and picked up his phone again, texting Yong Mu: "Let’s talk about this next time; I’m really busy this weekend. I have an audition on Saturday; once I’m less tied up, I’ll think of something."

Upon receiving Huo Feng’s message, Yong Mu felt a ray of hope, holding his phone and quietly smiling.

Because Huo Feng’s softened attitude and his willingness to help meant he was indeed willing to assist him.

Yong Mu knew Huo Feng was loyal. He joyfully replied to him: "Thanks, Feng! I wish you success at your audition on Saturday."

After sending it...

Yong Mu stopped to think for a moment...

He couldn’t resist asking: "Feng? What’s the audition for? What are you auditioning for? I don’t get it."

Huo Feng, too lazy to explain, replied: "Just a director asking me to audition for a web drama. It’s just a small opportunity since I’ve gotten famous! Stop asking. I’m busy!"

Yong Mu had tons of things he wanted to ask, but Huo Feng’s one-liner shot him down.

All Yong Mu could say was: "Alright, Feng, good luck! If you need my help, I’m here."

Huo Feng: "Nah."

After that, Huo Feng put down his phone, intending not to reply to Yong Mu anymore.

Just a tiny audition, Huo Feng wasn’t really taking it seriously...

But the people around him reacted dramatically.

Everyone kept saying they wanted to help him!

The script is quite simple, and Huo Feng believes he’s got it in the bag.

Yet, the next evening, the ever-so-serious Pu Sangzhi gave him a big lesson.

...

The next day was Friday, with Huo Feng’s audition scheduled for Saturday.

Because of the audition, the Musical Club allowed him to skip rehearsal on Friday night.

Huo Feng, with nothing else planned, intended to accompany Pu Sangzhi to the library for an evening study session, but Pu Sangzhi insisted on him practicing seriously instead!

For this, Pu Sangzhi specifically booked a private study room in the library — very proper!

Moreover, that night, Huo Feng saw that Pu Sangzhi had specially arranged a PPT for him...

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi asked Huo Feng to start with the PPT first...

She had even found clips online of Stephen Chow and Cecilia Cheung rehearsing in "The King of Comedy," planning to show them to Huo Feng.

"Dear, you’re being too serious..." Huo Feng flipped through Pu Sangzhi’s PPT, so much text it was making his eyes blurry.

It was just like old times in high school when she would review with him...

He didn’t want to read any of it! He resisted studying! Damned clutter would explode his brain...

"Of course, you have to be thoroughly prepared."

Pu Sangzhi had already found the clip, placing the phone aside, she seriously spoke to Huo Feng over her laptop: "Look carefully, I did tons of research yesterday. I even read the original work, analyzed the characters, you gotta see..."

Huo Feng rubbed his eyes, "It’s too much, isn’t it... so much for just one little clip, you made a 20-page PPT..."

Simply divine!

"I practically laid out all the possibilities you might encounter during the audition."

Pu Sangzhi said, "Read closely, I stayed up late making this PPT last night."

Huo Feng immediately grabbed Pu Sangzhi’s hand, placing it in his palm and gently rubbing it, "Oh dear, you stayed up late... I’m heartbroken for you, love~"

Pu Sangzhi smiled softly, "I’m fine as long as you treat it seriously. Look, many stars take their scripts very seriously. Their scripts often show edits and markings, they do a lot of prep work before the shoot. Unlike you, who just wings it!"

"Love~"

Huo Feng’s heart was melting...

But...

He really didn’t want to read the PPT!

Resisting studying!
