Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 127 - 122, your dad’s voice sounds like my class teacher (2)

Chapter 127: 122, your dad’s voice sounds like my class teacher (2)

For the next 15 minutes, Huo Feng’s room was in complete chaos!

Huo Mingshan was a man of few words but harsh actions, and upon entering the room, he immediately started to strike!

The feather duster in his hand lost several feathers from his swinging, but he just couldn’t hit Huo Feng!

Taking advantage of his youthful vigor and agility, Huo Feng was dodging and leaping around the not-so-large room—east and west, up and down—without letting Huo Mingshan land a single blow on him!

"You little brat! Stand still!"

"Take one more step and see if I don’t break your legs!"

The more Huo Mingshan couldn’t hit him, the angrier he got, and the angrier he became, the more he wanted to hit him.

It was a vicious cycle, never-ending, repeating over and over again, as if gaining new life with every spring breeze!

"You rascal! You might evade now, but can you avoid the future? Better just stand there and take your punishment like you should!"

Huo Mingshan, exhausted from the chase, stood by the foot of the bed panting and threatened Huo Feng.

Huo Mingshan was indeed getting old...

Had it been thirteen years earlier, he could have chased Huo Feng’s bare behind to the ends of the earth with a rattan cane!

But now, not only could he not catch up with Huo Feng, his physical stamina couldn’t keep up either.

After this bout of chasing, Huo Mingshan was sweating profusely and panting heavily, while Huo Feng stood like a victor, one foot on the nightstand, his posture arrogant and his attitude defiant!

This damned son, the more Huo Mingshan looked at him, the angrier he got!

"Huo Feng, get down from there!"

"No!"

Huo Feng looked up in refusal, "Do you think I’m stupid to come down just to get hit by you?"

Huo Mingshan, bristling with rage, pointed the feather duster at Huo Feng and roared, "Huo Feng! Just think about what you said at the dinner table with your mother tonight! None of it was proper! Don’t think that my discipline is targeting you! With all the troublesome things you’ve done, it’s only right that I discipline you!"

Indeed, at the dinner table that evening, Huo Feng and Shen Yu had united in mocking and ridiculing Huo Mingshan, which made him so angry that he couldn’t even eat his dinner.

Huo Feng was quite satisfied with himself at the time, having Shen Yu’s support, he didn’t consider the consequences...

After uttering so much nonsense, now faced with an irate Huo Mingshan, he felt a bit guilty. However, in front of the old man Huo, the last thing to do was to admit fault, so Huo Feng had to remain calm!

"Dad, you’re getting on in years, and it really doesn’t look good for you to chase and try to beat me like this! If word gets out, people will laugh at us!" Huo Feng said slickly.

"You know it doesn’t look good? You know that and yet you still provoke me!"

Huo Mingshan, furiously staring, "Get down here, I won’t feel better until I’ve given you a thrashing!"

"Dad, if you keep this up, I’m going to run away from home."

Huo Feng pointed towards the doorway and threatened, "See the door? If you drive me out tonight, for the next term, I’ll move to Grandpa’s place! We’ll be done!"

Huo Mingshan was simply about to explode with anger, "Huo Feng, you dare to threaten me with your grandpa!"

Huo Feng retorted, "So what if I do, Grandpa dotes on me! You don’t! You care about Sangzhi, not about me!"

"I do care... I..."

Suddenly, Huo Mingshan was left speechless by Huo Feng’s words, unable to retort, his face turning bright red.

For a brief moment, Huo Feng’s words softened Huo Mingshan’s heart, and the impulse to beat him lessened a bit.

"What now? Can’t say anything? Feeling guilty?"

Seeing that he had overpowered the old Huo, Huo Feng grew arrogant again, "Now do you understand why my mom couldn’t stand it and had to speak up for me? Because you are biased! You’re my dad, but you’re not just Sangzhi’s dad!"

"What are you even talking about!"

Huo Mingshan could no longer bear to listen and rebuked angrily, "I value both you and Sangzhi! As long as you stop bothering Sangzhi, you are still my son. Do what you want at school or at home, I won’t bother with you!"

Huo Feng also countered, "But I like Sangzhi!"

Huo Mingshan cursed, "You don’t know a damn thing about liking someone! You’re just into her because she’s pretty, has a nice body, and gets good grades!"

Hearing this, Huo Feng’s eyes widened in shock.

Wow... like father, like son, spot on!

"Huo Feng, I warn you, there cannot be a single mistake in Sangzhi’s life. She told me at the beginning of the school year that her life had only one Tsinghua dream left. It was only after I signed a guarantee to her mother that she was admitted! I must take responsibility for her!" Huo Mingshan said with a commanding tone.

Just as he finished his statement, a ringtone for an incoming call echoed in the room.

On the desk, Huo Feng’s cell phone was ringing. Both father and son’s gaze shifted to the phone at the same time...

Huo Feng was thinking: Could it be Sangzhi?

Huo Mingshan, however, assumed: It must be those no-good friends of his!

Without much thought, Huo Mingshan grabbed the phone and answered with a rebuke, "He’s not going out to cause trouble! And you future, don’t call him out either! All you do is mess around; don’t you guys have any goals?!"

In a fit of rage, Huo Mingshan lashed out at whatever was in his path, and unfortunately, the person on the other end of the call became an unwitting scapegoat, getting a earful from him.

However, right after Huo Mingshan finished his scolding spree, he instantly regretted it...

Because, from the other end of the phone, he heard a female voice he was absolutely certain he couldn’t mistake!

"Sorry, um, is this Huo Feng’s phone?"

It was Pu Sangzhi’s voice coming through the phone, crisp and inquiring.

The gentle voice quenched much of Huo Mingshan’s anger, and he was stunned...

Seeing something off about Huo Mingshan’s expression, Huo Feng fearlessly hurried over and asked, "Dad, is it Sangzhi?"

Huo Mingshan hastily handed back the phone to Huo Feng, who immediately took the call, sounding anxious, "Sangzhi, is it you?"

"Uh... was that person just now your dad?" Pu Sangzhi tentatively asked through the phone.

"Yeah... That was my dad. Didn’t scare you, did he?"

Huo Feng glanced sideways at Huo Mingshan. At that moment, Huo Mingshan was using lipreading to communicate with him: ’Speakerphone! Turn on the speakerphone!’

Huo Feng really didn’t want to turn it on, but since Huo Mingshan was his father, he reluctantly did.

As soon as speakerphone was activated, father and son huddled around the phone to carefully listen to Pu Sangzhi’s words from the other side.

All they heard was Pu Sangzhi saying, "You’re okay, right? Was your dad really scolding you? Do you want me to explain on your behalf?"

Huo Feng quickly glanced at Huo Mingshan and, risking his life, said, "Sure, I’ll turn on the speakerphone for you to explain. He’s about to beat me to death."

As soon as the words fell, Huo Mingshan smacked Huo Feng’s butt with a feather duster and also shot him a severe glare, warning him not to talk nonsense.

On the phone, Pu Sangzhi coughed softly and gently said, "Uncle, hello, I am Huo Feng’s classmate, my name is Pu Sangzhi."

Huo Mingshan quickly cleared his throat as well, deliberately raising his pitch, and responded in a false tenor, "Ah, hello."

Huo Mingshan was afraid of being recognized by Pu Sangzhi, so he made sure to speak with clear enunciation and a booming voice right off the bat.

This pretentious act startled Huo Feng greatly. Huo Feng laughed sneakily...

"Uncle, Huo Feng fighting yesterday was all to stick up for me. I was being bullied, and Huo Feng couldn’t stand it and stood up. He was really brave and helped me a lot. I hope you won’t blame him."

Through the phone, Pu Sangzhi was earnestly explaining yesterday’s situation to Huo Mingshan.

She naively thought that the only issue between Huo Feng and his father was Huo Feng getting into a fight yesterday.

But in reality, she was the biggest point of contention between father and son...

Huo Mingshan couldn’t let Pu Sangzhi know the truth about his relationship with Huo Feng, so he continued to pretend not to know her and replied with a high-pitched voice, "I see, it’s no problem at all. Since you’ve spoken up for him, I won’t hold him accountable anymore."

At that moment, Huo Feng quickly interjected, "Really won’t hold me accountable?"

The response to Huo Feng was yet another whack from Huo Mingshan’s feather duster...

He lashed Huo Feng’s butt with the feather duster again, which made Huo Feng struggle with him over the feather duster.

So, the picture unfolded of father and son gesturing and scrambling for the feather duster, all while continuing the phone call with Pu Sangzhi...

"Uncle, Huo Feng usually performs well at school. He’s been studying hard recently, actively participating in school activities, and he’s very polite to both classmates and teachers. Only Huo Feng dared to stand up for me yesterday like that, no other classmate would have been so brave..."

Through the phone, Pu Sangzhi was still trying her best to speak favorably for Huo Feng, even saying some things that went against her conscience.

Of course, whether those words had any effect could be seen from the barely perceptible changes in Huo Mingshan’s expression.

Huo Feng keenly observed Huo Mingshan’s facial expressions. Years of experience told him the dark clouds on old Huo’s face were fading, and his mood... was gradually brightening up!

"Hey, she’s complimenting your son."

Huo Feng nudged Huo Mingshan with his elbow and said shamelessly, "Respond to her, will you?"

Huo Mingshan frowned and "tsked" disgustingly, glaring disapprovingly at Huo Feng, but his reply to Pu Sangzhi was still particularly polite and kind, "Well, thank you for finding so many nice things to say about him. I am well aware of his behavior in school. Let’s leave it at this, you talk, I won’t say more." Actually, he was too tired from faking his voice.

After Huo Mingshan finished speaking, Huo Feng turned off the speakerphone and waved him off, saying, "Go on, don’t come back to my room after this."

Huo Mingshan, infuriated, smacked Huo Feng’s arm with the feather duster, and Huo Feng let out a scream, "Ah!"

Of course, it didn’t hurt at all, he was just pretending for Pu Sangzhi to hear.

Huo Mingshan couldn’t stand seeing him getting along so well with Pu Sangzhi, yet he couldn’t stop it. He could only leave the room with furrowed brows and huffing angrily.

After Huo Mingshan left, Huo Feng dramatically played up his misery and told Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, you have no idea how miserable I am tonight. I was beaten so badly by my cruel and merciless father that there isn’t a single good spot left on my body! Thank goodness you saved me... I’m seriously injured, in so much pain, I need a kiss."

Over the phone, Pu Sangzhi was grossed out by his act, "Hey, you’re not that pitiful, stop being disgusting!"

Huo Feng pouted, "You don’t believe me? Do you want to check the injuries tomorrow?"

Pu Sangzhi refused, "No, that’s gross!"

After refusing, Pu Sangzhi paused and added, "But your dad does seem really tough on you."

Huo Feng nodded, "Yeah!"

Pu Sangzhi said, "He sounds like our homeroom teacher, but his temper is way too different. At first, I thought I dialed the homeroom teacher by mistake."

Huo Feng: "..."
