Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 116

Gu Muxi picked up the small caterpillar from her body with her fingers, dangling it in the air.

“Stinky Feng, look, its body still wriggles in the air, how cute!”

“Don’t you think it’s cute?”

Yi Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Cough cough, really? I can’t see where the cuteness is…”

“Look at its long, slender body, and it moves, just lacks a bit of fur.”

“What do you think it likes to do most?”

“Um… Given its length, maybe it likes to burrow?”

“Cheating ghosts, how would a caterpillar burrow?”

“Who says it can’t? It probably prefers moist and warm burrows.”

“Hmph~ Nonsense!” Gu Muxi didn’t believe his ridiculous claims, placing the caterpillar on the table and watching it crawl.

Now, she seemed like a child who had discovered a new toy, carefully observing its movement.

“It’s really cute!”

“Uh, how about we let it go?” Yi Feng asked.

“This cute… of course, we use it for experiments!”

“Does it navigate with its head? If its head is cut off, can it still crawl?”

Gu Muxi asked like a curious baby.

“How would I know, I’ve never tried…” Yi Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Muxi, indeed not an ordinary woman…

Too damn fierce!

“Then I’ll try.”

As soon as her words fell, the gleam of a fruit knife flashed.

The caterpillar’s head fell to the ground!

A true swift action!

The caterpillar’s body lay motionless on the table.

Gu Muxi sighed, somewhat disappointedly, “So, cutting off its head, it can’t survive.”

“You don’t say? What thing can live without its head?” Yi Feng felt a chill down his neck, shrinking it.

Gu Muxi expressionlessly disposed of the body, then took the fruit knife up close, inspecting it.

“This knife is a bit dull, I need to sharpen it, don’t you think?”

Yi Feng, seeing Gu Muxi’s solemn gaze, swallowed hard, “Cough cough, you’re right…”

“Haha, look how scared you are! I’m dying of laughter!” Gu Muxi suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter filled with mockery.

Yi Feng: “……”

“I’ll go wash the knife, you keep picking vegetables!” Gu Muxi patted his shoulder, smugly got up, and left.

Yi Feng touched his nose, this girl…!

To prevent her from causing harm to the world in the future, it seems I’ll have to take her in out of great compassion!

…

As night fell, Yi Feng had dinner at Gu’s house, helped Gu Muxi clean up the dishes, and tidied up.

After finishing the chores, the two returned to their room as usual.

Gu Muxi was reading a novel.

While Yi Feng sat at the head of her bed, casually flipping through a fashion magazine Gu Muxi had bought.

“Gu Muxi, you read this stuff?”

Yi Feng flipped to a page with a very sexy sling dress and showed it to her.

Gu Muxi’s cheeks reddened, she put down the novel in her hand, climbed onto the bed, and snatched the magazine from Yi Feng’s hands.

“What’s wrong, can’t I pursue fashion?” Gu Muxi asked as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Of course, you can, but… I think you’re more suited to wearing a JK, hehe!” Yi Feng grinned mischievously, having imagined Gu Muxi in a JK uniform countless times in his mind.

That image… simply breathtaking!

Gu Muxi, being taller than average among southern girls, thanks to good nutrition in her childhood, her skin was white and tender, seemingly dripping water when pinched.

Combined with her delicate and cute melon-seed face, like a masterpiece carefully sculpted by God, just a few glances could make one’s heart race.

This outstanding appearance made her the undisputed school beauty of Taoyuan No.1 Middle School, with admirers enough to circle the track several times.

Such a beautiful, youthful, and radiant girl, how could she not wear a JK?

“JK? What’s a JK?” Gu Muxi asked with a puzzled face.

“It’s a kind of clothing, you don’t know now, but you’ll understand later!” Yi Feng laughed, licking his lips.

“Ew, I just realized you’re kind of creepy!” Gu Muxi looked at him with a disgusted gaze.

That look in Stinky Feng’s eyes just now… really wanted to give him a brain bump!

Though she thought so, there was a strangely proud feeling inside.

“Absolutely not, the way I look at you is always with admiration, understand? Like the way you look at artworks at an exhibition, that kind of gaze!” Yi Feng firmly denied being lecherous.

“Hmph! You’re just good at arguing!” Gu Muxi haughtily snorted.

Yi Feng saw the novel she was just reading, a book by Master Jin.

“Gu Muxi, you love reading martial arts novels?”

“Yes, I have no interest in romance novels. Aunt Qiong’s novels are all about lovey-dovey or torturous love, too melodramatic for me.”

“I love reading martial arts novels, wandering the world with a sword, how cool is that, stepping in whenever there’s injustice!”

“Master Jin’s martial arts novels are so well written, maybe I could learn a few moves, and then I won’t be afraid of bad guys anymore.” Gu Muxi made a sword-drawing gesture, looking heroic.

“I guess the bad guys would be afraid of you. Ordinary people probably couldn’t even get close to you!” Yi Feng teased.

Gu Muxi patted his shoulder, “Don’t be envious, Miss, I can teach you if you want!”

She squinted her eyes, harboring some mischievous idea inside.

“Me? Why would a big man like me need to learn that? Is it necessary?” Yi Feng rolled his eyes at her.

Gu Muxi solemnly said, “How can it not be necessary?”

“Think about it, you’re so tender and soft, what if you run into some female thugs on the street?”

“Boys, when going out, must also protect themselves!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll teach you a few moves of male self-defense techniques, the absolute moves from judo, guaranteed that if you encounter female thugs, you’ll definitely be able to overcome them!”

Yi Feng: “(￣ェ￣;)……”

“Actually… if I encounter female thugs, I could just lie down and surrender.”

“At worst, I’ll sacrifice my charm to save my life!”

“Bang!”

Gu Muxi raised her hand and gave him a brain bump on his head.

“Stinky Feng, I’m giving you a chance to rephrase your words!”

Yi Feng held his head, inhaling sharply from the pain.

“Hisss!”

“I, I will definitely resist to the end, to preserve my purity and integrity unto death!”

Gu Muxi then showed a satisfied look, patting his shoulder, “That’s more like it!”

“That’s how a man should be!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll really teach you a few useful moves!”

“And… it’s free of charge~”

Yi Feng looked at her warily, feeling an ominous premonition rising inside.
