Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 114 - 110, Sangzhi cheers you on!

Huo Feng was asking her why she hadn’t cheered for him just now.

He was so straightforward and clueless, asking her directly in front of so many eyes, leaving Pu Sangzhi feeling helpless...

Pu Sangzhi wondered if he really wanted to hear the truth, or a lie?

She had wanted to say that there were so many people cheering for him, he really didn’t need her cheer.

But to say such a thing in front of so many people would be too inconsiderate, and it might embarrass him in front of his classmates...

And to tell a lie to deceive him...

That would be very difficult for the almost always truthful Pu Sangzhi to invent, and even harder to utter.

So she hesitated.

She hesitated for a good ten seconds, thinking hard but unable to give Huo Feng an answer.

After a long wait, Huo Feng, not receiving a response, could only shake his head and sigh, finding an excuse for himself, "Sigh, I knew you weren’t biased. Let’s just leave it, I’m not as important as your class, better not disgrace myself~"

While sighing, Huo Feng raised his bottle and gulped down half of the mineral water, then tossed the empty bottle into a distant trash can.

Watching him casually throw it, the bottle went straight into the bin 5 meters away—a clean and charming move!

The female classmates around Pu Sangzhi let out soft exclamations at this, the admiration for Huo Feng within the court unwavering.

"In the second half, I’m definitely going to crush your class."

Huo Feng said to Pu Sangzhi with a smile, "Remember, if you don’t cheer for me, you can’t cheer for your class either."

His tone was frivolous and the pitch of his voice rose at the end of his sentence. When he said this, his face was filled with arrogance.

Yet for some reason, such provocative and self-aggrandizing words didn’t come off as offensive coming from him.

Pu Sangzhi looked at him unflinchingly, not retorting or saying a word. Her silent demeanor even made her question herself... Was she tacitly condoning his arrogance?

"Remember that!"

Seeing that she hadn’t spoken for a while, Huo Feng pointed at her and solemnly warned, "You’re not allowed to cheer for anyone else, or it’ll break my heart!"

Such words, coming from the inherently mischievous Huo Feng, sounded neither servile nor humble but quite domineering.

Pu Sangzhi truly admired his ability to save face for himself.

So, she went along with the face-saving route he provided and nodded in agreement, "Mhm."

In front of her, Huo Feng, seeing her finally show some reaction after a long while, felt a huge relief within his heart!

He thought: Thank goodness, she didn’t embarrass him in front of everyone. It was like she had left him some dignity...

The half-time break ended, and soon, the second half of the basketball game commenced.

In the first half, Huo Feng’s Grade 10 (7) class was leading Grade 10 (1) by a whole 20 points, a gap so wide that it almost secured their victory in the second half.

Grade 10 (1) replaced two players to boost their energy for the second half.

Even so, once the second half began, they were still unable to stop the fierce attacks of Huo Feng’s team.

One point, two points, three points, they could only watch as Huo Feng’s team scored basket after basket...

And their team, no matter how in sync they were, still couldn’t withstand the consecutive scoring by Huo Feng’s team.

In the second half, Grade 10 (1) still suffered a terrible defeat.

At the end of the game, Huo Feng’s team advanced to the finals with the highest score, skipping a round of intermediate competition.

As more and more teams were eliminated, the basketball tournament became even more exciting as only the strong teams remained.

The students in the gym did not leave en masse despite their classes being eliminated, and most who stayed were there to watch the championship contest between Huo Feng’s team and Senior Grade 2 (9).

Not long ago, Huo Feng’s team had challenged the Senior Grade 2 (9) basketball team.

In that bout, Huo Feng’s team lost so badly, they nearly didn’t keep their shorts!

Because of that battle, the match between Huo Feng’s team and Senior Grade 2 (9) became the most anticipated event for many students.

To see this game, the students waited nearly an hour and a half for the final match.

By that time, it was 4 p.m.

It was expected that after the last game, the sports meet would come to a successful close.

As such, during the final basketball game, some school leaders had already left, and some teachers were preparing awards and trophies for the sports meet.

Meanwhile, voting for the most beautiful cheerleading team had also come to a close.

At the last moment of voting, Pu Sangzhi’s class was in the lead with the highest number of votes for the most beautiful cheerleading team, exceeding the second-place team by more than 80 votes—a well-deserved victory.

Huo Feng’s team and Senior Grade 2 (9) took to the basketball court.

Preparing to battle Senior Grade 2 (9), Huo Feng benched Pan Bo, replacing him with Wang Chao, their team’s tallest and most reserved player in terms of energy.

The lineup for Huo Feng’s team was now Huo Feng, Gu Yang, Lin Yuhao, Wang Chao, and Zhang Wei, who was not tall but exceptionally agile.

"Whew!"

With the referee’s whistle, the basketball soared high into the air.

The opposing team sent a tall and strong sports-specialized student to jump for the ball, while Huo Feng’s team sent their tallest, Wang Chao, to contest the jump.

Both teams leaped into the air, with heights and arm spans nearly matching, but as the ball descended, the opposing team member, catching everyone by surprise, seized a blue in one fell swoop!

The basketball game thus kicked off...

This game, it must be said, made the students in the audience raise their voices one after another.

Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, and Wen Miao also began to feel nervous for the Huo Feng team.

Among the basketball team of Class 2 (Year 9), several of them were presidents and members of the school basketball club, and they were even cultivated by the PE teacher as students with specialties.

Therefore, the challenge that Huo Feng posed to them was undeniably tough.

In the first 5 minutes of the game, the Huo Feng team played hard and struggled, but were frequently blocked by the opposing team, and some shots that seemed certain to score were always intercepted at the rim.

The scoring rate dropped, and the conceding rate increased.

So, at the end of the first half, the score between Class 1 (Year 7) and Class 2 (Year 9) was 30:32; the opponents were leading by two points.

Scoring in the second half was crucial, so this time during the intermission, Huo Feng didn’t go looking for Pu Sangzhi again.

He gathered his teammates to redeploy their strategy, made two substitutions, and in the final lineup, only Huo Feng and Lin Yuhao remained unswapped.

Huo Feng and Lin Yuhao had high shooting accuracy, which made them the primary scorers who could not afford to be substituted.

From afar, Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, and Wen Miao looked on at Huo Feng’s group gathered to discuss tactics, at which point, the three of them also had a little discussion of their own.

Zhu Dandan said, "Tsk tsk, it looks like this game is really tough to play. Good thing there’s no naked sprint betting this time."

Wen Miao nodded and added, "They are the sports team; it’s normal if we can’t beat them. But I still hope Huo Feng can win. After all, he’s been very serious this time."

Having listened to the discussion of the two, Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips in agreement, nodding silently.

She too hoped Huo Feng would win.

He had been showing off all afternoon, and with so many female classmates staying to watch him, it would be embarrassing to lose...

Moreover, she hoped that he would remain cool throughout the day without stopping.

Elsewhere in the bleachers, Huo Mingshan too was frowning intently, observing Huo Feng who was deeply focused on the game.

Honestly...

Huo Mingshan had never seen Huo Feng take anything as seriously and try as hard as this, other than gaming.

Huo Mingshan had not expected a basketball game to show him this side of Huo Feng.

Just moments before, Huo Mingshan had secretly recorded a clip of Huo Feng shooting and sent it to Shen Yu, which was sort of a silent boast.

He could watch his son play seriously, but Shen Yu couldn’t.

The intermission ended, and Huo Feng led his teammates back onto the court.

The second half was only 12 minutes, and within those 12 minutes, every second counted.

Huo Feng and his teammates took their positions on the court according to the previous formation, and the opponents did the same.

During the pause while the referee went to get the basketball, suddenly, from the stands, a sharp and loud female voice burst out!

"Huo Feng!"

The abruptness of the female voice immediately drew the attention of everyone in the gym, including Huo Feng.

"Sangzhi says to play well, go for it!"

Just before the final moment, Zhu Dandan stole the scene and suddenly made her presence felt with a bang in the gym!

Right after Zhu Dandan shouted out those words, Pu Sangzhi lunged at her like mad and covered her mouth with her hand!

"Hey, what are you yelling about..."

Pu Sangzhi, her face turning red with embarrassment from Zhu Dandan’s outburst, felt supremely mortified!

She desperately wanted to find a hole to crawl into...

"Mmm mmm! Go for it!... Mmm!"

Zhu Dandan, despite Pu Sangzhi’s desperate attempts to silence her, managed to squeeze out these few words through clenched teeth, while at the same time, Zhu Dandan’s fingers were raised high, insistently pointing at Pu Sangzhi.

Her actions were telling Huo Feng that the cheer she had just shouted was what Pu Sangzhi wanted to say.

On the court, Huo Feng saw Pu Sangzhi and Zhu Dandan causing a commotion in the stands and suddenly, he smiled, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.

His smile was so radiant and sunny, as if he was very happy.

Pu Sangzhi, her face red, turned around and met his handsome smile, feeling a little tightness in her chest, she quietly pursed her lips.

"Hey! I’ll snag first place for you to see!"

Huo Feng bellowed, announcing loudly for all to hear.

In that instant, the atmosphere in the gymnasium exploded! The students, fed a mouthful of dog food, screamed in shock, marveling at Huo Feng’s domineering and unabashed masculinity!

It’s likely that after a basketball game like this, even more female students would feel admiration for Huo Feng.

The second half of the game quickly commenced...

But by then, Huo Mingshan was no longer in the mood to watch the game...

At that moment, Huo Mingshan’s mind buzzed, echoing a ghostly voice telling him: It’s time to butcher your pig!
