"Huo Feng, are you alone in the classroom? Are you coming to play basketball or not?"
"No."
"Come on, let's crush those juniors together!"
"I'm busy."
"What are you doing here all by yourself? Holy shit!... You're writing a love letter!"
Suddenly, Pan Bo's backpack slid off his shoulder and onto the ground.
His eyes widened in shock, as if he were looking at the sun rising in the west, he stared at Huo Feng who was hunched over his desk.
"Whoosh," just like that, he saw the half-written love letter on the desk be snatched up by Huo Feng, who then stuffed it into his jacket pocket.
The next moment, the young man's pale cheeks were tinged with red.
Huo Feng was embarrassed.
Having his brother discover such a sissy act as writing a love letter made him feel particularly ashamed.
"Huo Feng..."
"Shut up, pretend you didn't see anything."
Feeling embarrassed, Huo Feng didn't have the heart to face Pan Bo. He picked up his backpack, and with a quick stride, immediately left the desk.
"But I did see it!"
Pan Bo's face lit up with a 'good show is on' smile, he picked up the basketball, and energetically followed Huo Feng, "Huo Feng, so you like Pu Sangzhi from class one!"
Pan Bo never expected that he would just return to the classroom to get a basketball and stumble upon Huo Feng secretly writing that sleazy love letter!
On the love letter, one line stood out: 'Pu Sangzhi, I, Huo Feng, have fallen for you. Do you want to be my girlfriend?' Pan Bo caught that line just right!
It disgusted Pan Bo...
But it also sparked his curiosity!
"Huo Feng, when did this start? How long have you liked Pu Sangzhi?"
"How is it going now? Does she know you?"
Pan Bo followed Huo Feng out of the classroom, consistently matching the rhythm of Huo Feng's footsteps, walking and asking with great interest.
"Huo Feng, I heard that Pu Sangzhi is the top beauty of the freshman year, good looking, nice figure, and also a great student. Since the beginning of the school year, lots of people have pursued her!"
"But I've heard her standards are high, even the senior student council president couldn't win her over. Huo Feng, with you being an underachiever..."
Suddenly, Huo Feng stopped walking and Pan Bo abruptly did the same...
The next second, Huo Feng turned his head and narrowed his eyes at Pan Bo, "What did you say?"
Pan Bo shrank back his neck a bit, "I said, Pu Sangzhi is the class beauty."
Huo Feng frowned, "Not that part."
Pan Bo thought back, "The student council president couldn't win her over..."
Huo Feng frowned even more, "No, what did you say about me?"
Pan Bo recalled again, and the words 'you, the underachiever' popped up in his head.
Shoot, too impulsive. He actually spoke the truth!
Quickly trying to smooth things over with a grin, Pan Bo said, "No, no, Huo Feng, what I meant was, Pu Sangzhi is so good at school! She's top of the class, so when compared to her, we all look like slackers... right?"
Pan Bo thought his survival instincts were pretty strong to have smoothed over the term 'underachiever' just like that.
He nearly forgot... although Huo Feng is an underachiever, he never admits it!
Huo Feng glared at Pan Bo, pointing at him, "Watch your words, or daddy might have to beat you up!"
Huo Feng then turned and took another step, and the insensitive Pan Bo followed again.
"Huo Feng, but are you serious about pursuing Pu Sangzhi?"
"As your brother, I have to remind you, Pu Sangzhi is known to be a good student. We're social folk, we haven't seriously studied since sixth grade, and we got through middle school by fighting. Even the scores for entering this school were barely made by repeating the final year of junior high."
Walking down the long corridor and descending the stairs from the fourth floor, Pan Bo kept talking, "Huo Feng, we don't match well with good students. If you want to chase Pu Sangzhi, you need to think it through, you might get tied down by studying!"
"Zip it, son." Huo Feng didn't care at all.
"And another thing, Huo Feng! Don't forget, Pu Sangzhi is in class one, and her homeroom teacher is your dad!" Pan Bo called out loudly.
As it happened, Huo Mingshan, Huo Feng's actual father, was Pu Sangzhi's homeroom teacher.
So, in Pan Bo's view, Huo Feng's first love... was probably going to be doomed.
Because Huo Feng's dad was a well-known moral discipline teacher at the school who was notorious for catching students in early romances. He was nicknamed 'Valley Master' of the Ruthless Valley!
"Son, you talk too much."
Just then, the two of them arrived at the first floor.
Huo Feng turned his head, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and with a smiling glance at Pan Bo said, "You don't need to worry about your daddy's matters. Just watch, it won't be long before Pu Sangzhi becomes your mom."
Pan Bo: "Huo Feng, can you stop pretending to be my dad?"
Huo Feng: "I can't, son."
Pan Bo: "Huo Feng, do you even know how to flirt?"
With a cocked eyebrow and a look of disdain, Huo Feng said, "Nonsense. Doubting my skills with the ladies?"
