Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 139

“Vinegar? What vinegar smell? I didn’t smell anything,” Gu Muxi sniffed her collar again but found nothing.

Suddenly, she saw Yi Feng’s teasing expression, realized what he meant, her cheeks flushed, and she retorted haughtily, “You, you’re talking nonsense!”

“Who, who’s jealous? I couldn’t care less about you!”

Yi Feng chuckled and said, “Really? Don’t you want to know who sent the watch?”

“Who?”

Gu Muxi instinctively asked, then quickly covered up by saying, “Who, who wants to know? Not me!”

“I don’t want to know!”

After saying that, she took a big bite of her old popsicle.

Yi Feng secretly laughed to himself; Gu Muxi looked so cute in this state!

“Alright, I’ll tell you. It was a gift from a business partner, President Feng. That woman is his secretary… and also, the mistress type, has nothing to do with me, okay.”

Yi Feng explained.

“Eh… Mistress? You mean… that kind?” Gu Muxi was startled, not expecting such a beautiful woman to be a secretary, and even a mistress?

“Yes, you guessed right. That kind,” Yi Feng nodded.

Gu Muxi felt a sudden relief in her heart, as if the frustration that had been building up was instantly gone.

“Oh, so what does that have to do with me? Yi Feng, you don’t need to explain to me. I really don’t care.”

“I’m tired, I’m going to sleep.” Saying this, Gu Muxi finished her popsicle in a few bites, threw the stick into the trash can, and went straight upstairs.

Yi Feng followed her and asked, “Gu Muxi, don’t go. Tell me, were you jealous just now?”

“Yi Feng, who do you think you are? You’re thinking too much. I couldn’t be less bothered.”

“Hey, Gu Muxi, don’t be like that. Would it kill you to admit it?”

“Yi Feng, you’re really annoying! Just go away, I don’t even want to see you!”

“Hey, hey, you obviously were but won’t admit it. I think you’re just being a sore loser!”

“You say I’m stubborn? Believe it or not, I’ll bite you!”

“Come on then, you think I’m afraid of you, huh!”

“Ao! √-(￣皿￣)-√!”

“Whoa! Gu Muxi, you really bit me! Are you a dog? I’m blocking!”

“Ao┗|｀o′|┛Ao~~”

“Whoa! Gu Muxi, don’t bite me there!”

“Stinky Feng! Yuck, you stink!”

The two of them played and messed around all the way upstairs, about to go their separate ways.

“Gu Muxi, are you free tomorrow? It’s the weekend.”

“What do you want?”

“Let’s go have breakfast together, pig offal noodle soup, my treat, okay?”

“Give me a break!”

“What?”

“Break, as in go away!”

Gu Muxi opened her door, quickly closed it behind her.

Yi Feng smiled wryly; this girl, was she still angry?

Hard to please, indeed!

But it seemed she wasn’t that angry anymore.

Yi Feng shook his head and went into his home.

Late at night, Gu Muxi lay on her bed after washing up, lost in thought.

She turned over and grabbed a pink pig plushie, holding it by its ears.

“Pink pig, oh pink pig, why do you look so much like Stinky Feng?”

“Hmph, pig-headed!”

Gu Muxi kneaded the plushie’s face with her hands.

“Wait, why do I care so much about stinky Feng? Who he dates is none of my business!”

“I don’t want to care! He can be with whoever he wants!”

“Why should I be angry?”

Talking to herself, Gu Muxi kicked the plushie.

“Pink pig, say something, why should I be angry?”

“Right, right, I’m not angry, not at all, who cares? I certainly don’t!”

“You agree, right, pink pig?”

Gu Muxi kicked it again.

“If you agree, nod your head; if not, shake your head.”

The plushie’s head nodded, and Gu Muxi finally laughed.

“That’s more like it.”

“Pink pig, you’re worth my care!”

Gu Muxi hugged the plushie, petting its head.

The plushie: …

“Ah, right, I have a day off tomorrow, perfect for giving stinky Feng some extra training. Can’t let him fall behind in self-defense.”

“Yeah, extra training!”

Gu Muxi, with a sly look in her eyes, pinched the plushie’s cheeks.

…

The next morning, while Yi Feng was still asleep, a knock at the door woke him up.

“Who is it?”

“Yi Feng, it’s me.”

“Oh, Gu Muxi, let me sleep a bit more, it’s too early.” Yi Feng yawned and turned over to continue sleeping.

“Bang!”

The door was suddenly pushed open and hit the wall.

This woke Yi Feng up completely, thinking there was an explosion!

Yi Feng sat up quickly, staring at Gu Muxi in astonishment, “Uh, Gu, Gu Muxi, what, what are you doing?”

Gu Muxi stood in the doorway in sportswear, with her hair in a ponytail, hands on her hips.

“Yi Feng, how can you sleep in on such a beautiful day? Let’s get up and exercise, do some morning exercises or something,” Gu Muxi said earnestly.

“Morning, morning exercises?” Yi Feng said weirdly.

“Yes, the plan for the day is in the morning, young man. Why sleep so much? When you’re dead, you’ll have plenty of time to sleep!” Gu Muxi stated.

Yi Feng was speechless, “Gu Muxi, are you cursing me?”

“Cough cough, no, how could I? The early bird catches the worm. Let’s have breakfast and then go for some exercise!” Gu Muxi said, fist raised.

“Let’s forget it. The early worm gets eaten by the bird. Let me sleep a bit more,” Yi Feng lay back down.

Gu Muxi’s eyes flashed with a cold light; she rubbed her fingers and said ominously, “Really not getting up?”

“Bang!”

She punched the door, the sound echoing loudly, showing her strength!

Yi Feng jumped up again, “Gu, Gu Muxi, you’re not going to use violence on me, are you?”

“I warn you, my mom is at home!”

“If you dare to lay a hand on me, I, I’ll tell my mom!”

Gu Muxi: …

Then, Gu Muxi switched to a “warm and friendly” smile, “Yi Feng, how could I lay a hand on you? We grew up together!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Yi Feng, seeing her “kind” smile, felt goosebumps all over. He swallowed and said, “Alright, I give up, I’ll get up in a bit, okay?”

“Don’t wait, let me help you!” Thinking he was delaying, Gu Muxi went straight for the blanket.

Yi Feng: “!!!”

“Don’t, I’m not wearing…”

He hadn’t finished speaking before Gu Muxi pulled off the blanket.
