Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 122 - 117. Huo Feng’s Past

Lin Qianqian was bullied by some delinquents, and Huo Feng didn’t even have to think to know that it must have been because she herself was usually arrogant at school.

However, since she was under Huo Feng’s protection, Huo Feng allowed them to be arrogant.

If they weren’t arrogant, how could Huo Feng’s reputation as the School Tyrant have been established? Who would still be terrified at the mention of the name Huo Feng?

Therefore, Huo Feng wasn’t annoyed by Lin Qianqian’s arrogance.

Lin Qianqian sighed, munching on a skewer of meat, and recounted her misfortunes from the day, "Ugh, it’s all because their move came too unexpectedly. I didn’t even have time to call Brother Feng... When I finally managed to pick up a call, my phone was kicked away. I was so unlucky!"

After listening to her story, Huo Feng couldn’t help but laugh twice, "You’ve learned your lesson, haven’t you, Ugly Qianqian?"

Lin Qianqian, scolded by Huo Feng, didn’t dare to retort and could only sigh in dismay.

Then Huo Feng said, "I’m telling you, it’s always risky to strut around relying on someone else’s name. So, if you want others to be afraid of you, you’ve got to be strong yourself. If you could take on seven and deal with today’s situation, I guarantee you there won’t be many at school who would dare to bully you."

Lin Qianqian’s eyes widened, "Brother Feng, how could a girl like me possibly take on seven?"

"Why not? There’s a tomboy in Sangzhi’s dorm who knocked down my fatty in one move—so badass!"

Huo Feng argued and pointed at Pu Sangzhi with his skewer, "Right, Sangzhi?"

Busy gobbling chicken wings, Pu Sangzhi heard him and nodded, "Are you talking about Wen Miao? She’s the daughter of a martial arts school owner, has been practicing martial arts since she was little, and even has a black belt in taekwondo."

Pu Sangzhi, face greasy from eating barbecue, looked so down-to-earth that Huo Feng found her especially endearing.

He took out a tissue and moved to wipe her face, but before his hand could touch her, Pu Sangzhi snatched the tissue, saying, "Thank you."

Her wariness was so strong that even while eating, Huo Feng couldn’t find a chance to make a move, which made him feel quite heartbroken.

"So, Ugly Qianqian. You have to practice..."

Huo Feng turned his head back to Lin Qianqian and continued, "At the very least, work on physical fitness, strengthen yourself to the point where you can handle three girls by yourself."

Lin Qianqian furrowed her brows at his words, "Ah... that sounds exhausting."

"Well, there’s no way around it. If you want to swagger around, you need some strength. Otherwise, when the person covering you isn’t around, who knows when you’ll be hoodwinked and dragged into an alley for a beating," Huo Feng lectured with reason.

Pu Sangzhi felt that their approach was all wrong and finally couldn’t help but interject, "Hey, wouldn’t it be better to just focus on your studies? Do you really need to make the school seem so scary? I’ve never gotten into a fight all the time I’ve been at school. Just study well and behave."

Lin Qianqian didn’t see eye to eye with Pu Sangzhi’s thinking, "But there are always some girls in the class who love to bully others. My good sister, who lives at the English teacher’s house, was bullied so badly, I just couldn’t stand it."

Pu Sangzhi thought about it and said, "Are there really students who are inherently that bad?"

Pu Sangzhi believed that in all her years of schooling, she had never encountered such terrible students.

Perhaps because Pu Sangzhi usually associated with good students, she had never experienced the darker side of campus life.

Lin Qianqian’s claims were confirmed by Huo Feng, who added, "Nowadays at school, there are plenty of people who love to show off. I experienced school violence back in primary school. At that time, a classmate even brought a few thugs from society to intercept me on my way home, to warn and slap me, humiliating me to no end..."

Lin Qianqian and Pu Sangzhi had never heard about Huo Feng being bullied and were shocked to hear it now.

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but ask, "Even someone like you was bullied?"

"I used to be well-behaved back then, just like you. Every day under the sun, flowers smiling at me, I’d go to school with my backpack on, like a little boy. But one day, out of the blue, I was ambushed and warned," Huo Feng reminisced helplessly.

"In fifth grade, I stood up for Fatty and got into a fight with a classmate who liked to bully him. After that, the classmate found some older thugs. They cornered me in an alley after school, warned me, and humiliated me. I lost my temper! Even though they were a head taller than me, I didn’t care at all at that moment and just fought with those thugs. I ended up bruised and bloody, with a cracked open head, and had to go to the hospital to get stitches."

Lin Qianqian and Pu Sangzhi wrinkled their brows, as if they could imagine the bloody and violent scene.

Yet Huo Feng talked about it as if it was someone else’s story, very casually continuing, "After that incident, Fatty and I got really tight-knit. I approached Fatty and we agreed that we had to become formidable, couldn’t just let people bully us like that! So later, I told my mom that I wanted to learn Sanda, having heard that you feel especially good hitting people with it. Seeing that I was a boy and had been bullied at school, she agreed. The rest is history—I just got more and more awesome. Fatty and I didn’t think two was cool enough, so we started picking classmates we got along with to hang out with. This building up over time, I suddenly had a bunch of underlings. After that, I, Huo Feng, became well-known!"

This was the story of how Huo Feng became the School Tyrant. Hearing him tell it, it was quite inspiring.

Pu Sangzhi, after listening, had quite an epiphany.

She finally understood that everything has its cause and effect, there must be a cause for there to be a result.

The current Huo Feng, who lives life so freely and arrogantly... it turns out it was because of a shadow from his childhood when he was in elementary school.

No, it can’t be called a childhood shadow.

Because that incident didn’t scare Huo Feng, nor did it leave any aftereffects. It reshaped Huo Feng’s personality, allowing him to find another way to develop his character, to live as another self, perhaps the self he was originally meant to be...

In any case, Pu Sangzhi now had some understanding of Huo Feng.

"So, Ugly Qianqian, you should work out more when you have time. You’re not a gentle and decent woman like Sangzhi. Sangzhi has me to protect her, but you don’t. You must constantly strive to be strong and to survive! Understand?" Huo Feng educated Lin Qianqian.

After hearing Huo Feng say this, Lin Qianqian felt quite touched.

She nodded, thinking what Huo Feng said made sense, and said, "Big brother Feng, then will you teach me some self-defense moves?"

Huo Feng laughed, "Sure thing, sure thing. Let the fatty teach you tomorrow, I’m busy."

Lin Qianqian gave him a sidelong glance, thinking: Was ’Sure thing, sure thing’ just brushing her off?

"Sangzhi, don’t you feel like you can’t join in when we talk about these topics?"

Huo Feng turned his head back and his attention returned to Pu Sangzhi.

Halfway through eating her chicken wing, Pu Sangzhi was suddenly put on the spot, and out of politeness, she set down the wing and shook her head in denial, "No, it’s quite interesting, like listening to a story."

As a result, Huo Feng was pleased, "Heh heh, do you still want to hear my other stories? My life has been legendary, full of stories since I was born. If I really started telling them, it would take three days and three nights to get through them all."

Pu Sangzhi quickly interrupted, "Then don’t tell them. I don’t want to hear anymore."

Huo Feng felt rejected.

"However, I can share a turning point in my life with you guys."

Suddenly, Pu Sangzhi became quite interested in sharing about herself with them.

Huo Feng was curious about Pu Sangzhi’s life!

He immediately held up his can of beer and took up the conversation, "I’ve got beer, you’ve got life stories, so let’s start chatting!"

"Hmm..."

Pu Sangzhi took a moment to reflect, drank a sip of her Want Want milk, and then began, "Actually, when I was very little, I wasn’t that well-behaved, and I mixed with play-loving students for a while."

Huo Feng and Lin Qianqian were shocked by her words, "Really?"

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Back then, I was in first grade at an elementary school in the village. Our school was rather backward, and most of the students came from families of migrant workers, with very few local kids. Those migrant kids were usually untamed because their parents were too busy working to discipline them properly, so they were quite wild. I befriended those play-loving students as soon as I was in the first grade. I didn’t like studying at that time and even skipped classes to play in the fields with them. We baked sweet potatoes and caught loaches, having a great time, innocent and carefree. But as a consequence, my academic performance worsened until one day, I lost my backpack in the fields, couldn’t find it, and that’s when my parents realized how poorly I was doing at school."

"Wow... you skipped class? To catch loaches and bake sweet potatoes? You?!"

Huo Feng was very surprised to learn about this Chapter of Pu Sangzhi’s life!

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "There was an older brother next door who did really well in school and had a great personality. When my parents punished me by locking me out of the house, he took me in, gave me snacks, and lectured me."

The boy next door...

These few words immediately made Huo Feng alert! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

He thought: Damn, a rival? The first to defy and win over?
