Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 148

“Got it, thanks, Gu Muxi.”

“I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful. I’m so happy I could faint!”

Yi Feng pretended to be weak, about to faint, leaning on the bathroom door, then made faces at Gu Muxi.

“Ugh!” Gu Muxi feigned vomiting and glared at him.

“You think I wanted to? Stop being disgusting and go take a shower.”

Yi Feng shamelessly smiled, “I understand, no need to pretend anymore. I know your intentions.”

“Let me bathe and change first, and then I’ll try it out, I won’t let down your kindness.”

Gu Muxi: “(￣ェ￣;)……”

This stinky Feng, always acting smart even after gaining an advantage!

More than ten minutes later, Yi Feng finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, drying his not yet dry hair.

“Hey, Gu Muxi, I just remembered, isn’t today Monday? Aren’t you going to work?” Yi Feng curiously asked.

“I took a day off. How else could I buy you breakfast and hangover soup?” Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him.

Yi Feng placed the towel on a chair and laughed, “Is that so? I am deeply moved.”

Approaching the dining table, Yi Feng drank the hangover soup and ate breakfast, feeling much better, except for a slight headache. He planned to rest at home for the day.

He walked over to the sofa and sat next to Gu Muxi, “Have you already started looking into college courses?”

Yi Feng was somewhat surprised to see the book she was holding, “Fundamentals of Architectural Drawing and Modeling.”

“Of course, I need to enroll in a month. I’m pre-studying in advance. This was given to me by a senior at the company, and there are many more like it.” Gu Muxi proudly stated, mentioning her habit of pre-studying and reviewing.

“Truly a scholar. But… Little Miss Gu, I have a favor to ask of you,” Yi Feng cheekily moved closer.

Gu Muxi turned her head to glance at him, “What is it? Considering your previous heroic actions, I won’t refuse if I can help.”

“I have a bit of a headache, can you press it for me?” Yi Feng asked, then began to massage his own head, looking pained.

“Such a hassle, who told you to drink so much? You deserve to suffer!”

“Lay down then,” Gu Muxi said, somewhat irritably.

Yi Feng chuckled, knowing Gu Muxi was the type with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

He quickly lay down on the sofa, smoothly making himself comfortable.

Gu Muxi put down her book and gently massaged the temples on either side of his head.

Yi Feng was so comfortable he almost made a sound, but he held it in.

“Gu Muxi, my neck feels twisted and uncomfortable.”

“What do you want?”

“Can I rest my head on your legs?”

“Hey, hey, hey! I’m warning you, stinky Feng, don’t push your luck!”

“Ah, but someone just said they wouldn’t refuse, guess I’ll just bear with my neck pain, it’s just a strained neck muscle, no big deal.”

“Fine, fine, I give up on you.”

Gu Muxi lifted his head, placed it on her legs, and continued to massage his temples.

Yi Feng immediately felt a gentle fragrance filling his nose, refreshing his spirit.

So this is Gu Muxi’s scent!

Cough cough, although it feels a bit sleazy… it’s indeed very comfortable!

“Why did you and Wang Tie get drunk last night? What happened to make you so happy?” Gu Muxi asked curiously.

“Uh… it wasn’t something to be happy about. Wang Tie got cuckolded, and as a brother, I was just drowning his sorrows with him,” Yi Feng explained reluctantly.

“What does being cuckolded mean?” Gu Muxi had never heard the term before.

“Ah, it means his girlfriend cheated on him, and he saw it happen right in front of him!” Yi Feng explained, summarizing the previous night’s events.

Gu Muxi was stunned, “No way, he actually encountered that? That’s too melodramatic!”

“Not even soap operas dare to plot like this!”

“Poor Wang Tie.”

“Too tragic!”

Yi Feng sighed, “I hope he gets over it soon. He was genuinely devoted to Xu Xiaoling, almost doing everything for her, spending his money on whatever she wanted, only to end up like this.”

“I really don’t understand what Xu Xiaoling was thinking. Wang Tie might be a bit naive, but he’s honest. To cheat on him just half a month into the relationship…” Gu Muxi shook her head, her words filled with disdain.

Yi Feng chuckled, “The guy she left him for is more handsome than Wang Tie and knows how to sweet-talk. Xu Xiaoling must have changed her mind because of him. Her reputation wasn’t great even back in school. I had advised Wang Tie to think it over before deciding, but he was determined to pursue her, leading to his own heartbreak. There was nothing I could do.”

“Indeed, sometimes love makes people blind,” Gu Muxi commented with the air of an expert.

Yi Feng gave her a look, “Have you ever been in love? Where did you get such insights? Where did you learn these phrases?”

“From romance dramas, like ‘A Dream of Splendor,'” Gu Muxi replied.

“No way, you dug up such an old series to watch?” Yi Feng asked, surprised.

Gu Muxi pouted, “What do you know? I’ve been collecting material for a novel recently, planning to write an wuxia story myself.”

“An wuxia novel? You really want to write a novel? I advise you, writing novels is a dead-end unless you can hit it big on Qidian. And why are you watching romance dramas if you’re writing an wuxia novel?”

“Wuxia novels might mainly revolve around martial arts feuds, but they need a bit of romance too, don’t they? How else can the characters be fully developed?”

“So? You’re specifically watching romance dramas for inspiration?”

“Of course, it’s the most direct way.”

“Hey, Gu Muxi, you don’t have to go through all that trouble. If you date me, I’ll give you an unforgettable romance that will help you make your book a hit, hehe!”

“Get lost.”

“……”

Yi Feng then asked, “So, have you decided on a story yet?”

“Not yet, I’ve been revisiting Jin Yong’s classics recently, still looking for inspiration.”

“How about this for a plot idea: the male protagonist is publicly humiliated and dumped at the beginning, then vows revenge, painstakingly trains in martial arts, gains various opportunities, and ultimately triumphs over those who wronged him, standing at the pinnacle of the world? What do you think of this story?”

“Hmm? Sounds not bad.”

“I’ve even thought of a title for you: ‘Battle Through the Heavens’! At high levels, the protagonist can transform qi into horses, making it impossible for anyone to catch up.”

“What weird setting is that? I’m aiming for a traditional wuxia story, about a heroine traveling the world!”

“A female-centric story? Then I can’t help you. I’ve only read boss novels, never a female wuxia.”

“What’s a boss novel?”

Yi Feng got up, then pinned Gu Muxi against the sofa, his face cold, “Woman, you have successfully caught my attention.”

At that moment, they were very close, their faces less than a fist apart.

Gu Muxi, taken aback by the sudden move, blushed, her heart racing.

“Stinky Feng, what… what are you trying to do?!”

“I want to tell you… this is what a boss novel is!”
