Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 1124: Side Story: Winter Break, the New Home Renovation! (2)
This winter break, the four girls in the dormitory didn’t go home.
Pu Sangzhi stayed because Huo Feng had work in Beijing, so she planned to also stay and check out some renovation matters, intending to get a head start.
By the time the New Year comes, it doesn’t matter if the renovation team takes an early break. Pu Sangzhi mainly wants to find a suitable renovation team during the holiday.
Otherwise, when school starts again next year, there won’t be time to deal with this.
Mu Mu still doesn’t like going home, and this time she even has an excuse, claiming to her family that she needs to attend a friend’s wedding, making it more convenient to stay here.
Wei Zixuan also used the same reason as Mu Mu to refuse her family. However, another main reason for Wei Zixuan staying was that she had signed up for a social work activity, making the most out of it to spend more time with Gu Yihao.
Gu Yihao didn’t go home for the winter break either, using the same excuse as Wei Zixuan, and of course, he signed up for social work too, just to spend more time dating Wei Zixuan.
Their relationship turned out surprisingly stable, not running into any mishaps.
It probably has something to do with Gu Yihao being willing to listen and Wei Zixuan being very confident. Complementary personalities are also a major reason for a relationship to last.
The reason Minal stayed is... actually connected to Ye Xi.
Because Minal always feels she’s about to win Ye Xi’s heart!
Although this feeling has lasted for over a year...
On the other hand, the four boys in Huo Feng’s dormitory also stayed at school for the winter break.
They all used the same excuse to attend Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi’s wedding.
However, while using this excuse, they more or less arranged their own wonderful and fulfilling private lives.
As soon as the winter break started, Pu Sangzhi began looking for renovation options.
At first, she searched on 58.com but worried that the renovation teams there might not be reliable. In the midst of her dilemma...
Suddenly, Ye Xi reached out to her.
Of course, this was after going through a mediation by Minal.
Minal quickly spilled the beans about Pu Sangzhi’s situation to Ye Xi, so Ye Xi used his connections to proactively introduce a reliable renovation team to Pu Sangzhi.
It was the first time in a long while that Ye Xi actively reached out to Pu Sangzhi, actively indicating he would help her...
This kind of proactive friendliness also made it clear to Pu Sangzhi that Brother Ye Xi had let go of his feelings for her.
And indeed, this was the case.
One afternoon, Ye Xi met Pu Sangzhi in the residential area of her new house, and Ye Xi also invited his friend who managed the renovation team.
After all, having been an intern in the industry before as an alumnus of the Civil Engineering Department, he knew some practical insights and had some connections.
So, Pu Sangzhi felt very confident about the renovation team Ye Xi introduced.
Of course, their meeting wouldn’t be complete without Minal.
In a tea restaurant near the residential area, Minal, Ye Xi, and Pu Sangzhi sat together at a table.
This rare three-person group finally met face-to-face.
The friend Ye Xi invited hadn’t arrived yet, so they took this free time to chat casually...
To Pu Sangzhi’s surprise, Ye Xi unexpectedly asked her, "When do you plan to have the wedding with Huo Feng? You’ve got the certificate, so you should probably do it sooner rather than later?"
Because Ye Xi hadn’t contacted Pu Sangzhi much, he didn’t know that she planned to get married during the winter break.
Minal didn’t dare tell him about this, not even about the proposal, afraid he would be sad and upset.
However, with Huo Feng being so high-profile, how could Ye Xi not know about this?
Seeing Ye Xi bring up this matter proactively, Pu Sangzhi knew he must have let go of her, and she said openly, "We’ve set the date for January 7th in the Gregorian calendar, and we’ll have the ceremony in Wenzhou. Brother Ye Xi, you should come too, right? I sent you an electronic invitation before; we haven’t got the paper ones yet, they’re with Huo Feng’s parents..."
"Oh... you sent me an email."
Ye Xi still felt a bit disappointed.
Because she only sent him an email without a personal reminder. Ye Xi didn’t have the habit of checking emails...
He thought to himself, perhaps she wasn’t sincerely inviting him after all?
Otherwise, why would she only send an email reminder...
"Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Brother Ye Xi, so you should come to Wenzhou with us, right? Come to my wedding."
"I’ll see."
Ye Xi smirked lightly, "We’ll see then, I don’t know if I can leave the lab. I’ll send a red envelope; I owe you the gesture, and when I get married, I’ll invite you."
"Oh come on, you should go!"
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, but thankfully, Minal was there to perfectly shift the vibe, "Sangzhi is getting married! Such a big occasion, it’s way more important than your lab! It’s just for a day~ I’ll go with you! Come on, let’s go!"
Minal’s enthusiasm was even more than Pu Sangzhi’s, making Ye Xi feel a bit mixed inside...
"If there’s nothing urgent in the lab, I’ll definitely go. At the moment, the experiment is at a critical stage, so I’ll see..."
Ye Xi didn’t refuse directly, but somehow felt uncomfortable.
"Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t press him, "I’d really want Brother Ye Xi to come, but I don’t want to distract Brother Ye Xi from his experiment either. Brother Ye Xi, do your best!"
"Okay."
Ye Xi smirked, "I didn’t expect you’d get married so soon. You still look so young... When I was your age, my head was filled with data and materials."
"That’s why you’re single!"
Minal chimed in to ease the atmosphere, "Hehe, but you’re not old now either! If you’re willing to look back~ maybe you can get married soon too! After all, I’m already at the legal marriage age too..."
"Ahem."
Ye Xi coughed twice, then pushed the dessert on the table to Minal across from him, "Eat some more."
"Geez... It’s so obvious you’re trying to cover it up..." Minal pouted in discontent.
"This is really tasty." Ye Xi reminded Minal.
"You’re just trying to use food to shut me up!" Minal protested.
"Or do you want some more? Should I call the waiter for more?" Ye Xi deliberately veered away from the direction Minal was going.
"Hmph..."
Minal ignored him and just murmured to herself, "Changing the topic so abruptly, pretending not to know, I won’t cooperate with you!"
Then Ye Xi gave up on Minal and said to Pu Sangzhi, "Let’s talk, ignore her."
"Hey!"
Minal shouted indignantly.
Pu Sangzhi watched them interact quietly, finding it rather amusing...
It turned out that when Brother Ye Xi and Minal were together, they were like this.
At this moment, Pu Sangzhi secretly hoped they might end up together in the future.
After all, Brother Ye Xi had already let go of her.
Not long after, Ye Xi’s friend in charge of the renovation team arrived.
The four of them sat at the table and chatted while eating. The friend looked at Pu Sangzhi’s design drawings and understood that Pu Sangzhi was very particular about the tile materials in every part.
Being a Tsinghua student and from the relevant major...
The friend was able to understand Pu Sangzhi’s demand for perfect details.
Thus, this renovation project was handed to the friend, and after some simple chat and eating, Pu Sangzhi guided everyone around the residential area to see her new home.
Although it was still just an empty shell, the more than 100 square meters of space appeared quite large.
Minal kept voicing extreme admiration, holding onto Pu Sangzhi’s arm excitedly, "Sangzhi~ this is your million-dollar property! When will I be able to have a house like this in Beijing? I’m so envious~"
Pu Sangzhi merely smiled calmly while Ye Xi immediately responded to Minal, "If you find a sugar daddy, you can live in such a house."
"Hmph!"
Minal retorted to Ye Xi, "I don’t want a sugar daddy! I want to work hard together with my partner, and buy a house together! Sangzhi and Brother Feng did it that way too!"
Ye Xi: "Oh."
Minal was dissatisfied with Ye Xi’s attitude again, "Hey! At this time you should praise me for not being materialistic! Why is your attitude so flat?"
Ye Xi chuckled, "Is that a good trait?"
Minal said, "Of course it’s a good trait! Because I’m not materialistic at all, and I’m willing to strive together with a guy! Plus, you need a girl like me!"
Ye Xi replied, "I don’t need one."
Minal: "You need one very much!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Ye Xi: "No need."
Minal: "Say that again and I’ll get mad!"
Ye Xi took a deep breath and turned to walk towards his friend...
Minal stuck her tongue out behind him, then said to Pu Sangzhi, "He’s really annoying sometimes!"
Pu Sangzhi just chuckled.
