Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 93

Li Wan chuckled, “Eh, it does seem a bit early, huh.”

“Right, I wanted to tell you, since they want to keep it from us, let’s pretend we don’t know, understand?”

“Don’t put too much pressure on the kids. Let them date peacefully. Too much intervention from us might not be good.”

“Husband, remember this, keep it to yourself. When we go out, act as if nothing happened.”

“If Muxi finds out you know about them, she might avoid us even more.”

“Eventually, when the time is right, they’ll surely tell us on their own.”

Li Wan earnestly advised, fully taking the side of Gu Muxi and Yi Feng.

Gu Xingzhong nodded in realization, “I understand, I know what to do.”

Li Wan pondered for a moment. “However… we still need to educate the kids about safety. They’re young and haven’t finished university yet. If they’re careless and something happens, it might be troublesome.”

“I don’t mind… but it could affect the child’s future and studies.”

“Husband, I’ll take care of Muxi’s ideological work, and you handle Little Feng.”

“Don’t be too direct, okay? Find a flexible approach, but make sure they understand the importance of safety.”

Gu Xingzhong couldn’t help but smile wryly, waving his hand, “Alright, alright, I’ll find time to talk to Little Feng.”

…

On the other side, after Yi Feng finished washing up, he went to Gu Muxi’s house and saw her drinking porridge.

“Morning, Miss Gu!”

“It’s not morning anymore, Yi Feng. The sun’s already high, and you’re just waking up. Sleeping so long, truly a young master’s life.”

Gu Muxi teased him mercilessly.

Yi Feng took a bowl and chopsticks and sat down, “Hey, don’t talk nonsense. Where do I have a young master’s life? More like a life of hard work, staying up all night for work.”

Gu Muxi paused, turning to ask, “Staying up all night? What were you busy with?”

“It’s the store’s business. I was working on a promotion, and it was almost dawn by the time I finished and went to sleep. I’m still so sleepy.” Yi Feng yawned as he spoke.

Gu Muxi examined his eyes, indeed spotting dark circles, and continued to tease, “Look at your eyes, almost panda eyes. You planning on becoming a national treasure?”

“Not even taking care of your health, really.”

“I heard that men who stay up late might suffer from kidney deficiency.”

Yi Feng chuckled mischievously, winking, “Gu Muxi, are you already planning for our future blissful life?”

“Don’t worry, my body’s in great shape, really good!”

He deliberately elongated the word “blissful,” with ambiguous implications.

Gu Muxi caught the hint in his words, her cheeks flushing red, and she glared at him annoyedly, “Stinky Yi Feng, always so improper!”

“Where have I been improper? I’ve always been a proper person,” Yi Feng shrugged and laughed.

“Hehe, is that so? Seems like you’ve hidden it well, I didn’t notice at all,” Gu Muxi retorted with flushed cheeks.

Yi Feng grinned, scooped some porridge into his bowl, and exclaimed, “Auntie’s pork porridge is just delicious!”

“Eat more if it’s good. I’m full.” Gu Muxi finished her last spoonful and put down her spoon.

“Really? There’s still so much left, you’re not eating?” Yi Feng asked in surprise.

Gu Muxi leaned back in her chair, touching her flat stomach, muttering, “I’ve been staying home lately, just eating and sleeping, then sleeping and eating, I’ve already gained weight.”

“I can’t eat so much anymore!”

Yi Feng scrutinized Gu Muxi, not seeing any signs of weight gain. She wore a T-shirt and jeans today, her figure curvy and attractive.

Such a figure was what many dreamed of, and she’s complaining about being fat?

“Uh, you’d be too thin if you lost any more!”

“No, I’ve really gained weight.”

“Did you weigh yourself? How many pounds did you gain?”

“0.4 kilograms.”

“……”

Yi Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth, that’s all and she’s thinking about dieting?

“Gu Muxi, you didn’t use to care about your weight like this, what’s up today? Did you take the wrong medicine?”

Gu Muxi gave him a look, “You’re the one who took the wrong medicine!”

“I’m happy, can you control it?”

Yi Feng squinted, suddenly asking, “Is it because I said you were heavy last time?”

Gu Muxi’s gaze flickered, but she quickly composed herself, chin up defiantly, “That, that’s not it. Are your words that important? I don’t care!”

Yi Feng, seeing her reaction, knew he had guessed correctly.

He affectionately ruffled her hair, laughing, “Gu Muxi, you silly girl…”

He hadn’t expected his casual joke to be taken so seriously by her.

“Hmph~ what are you doing, treating me like a little kid?” Gu Muxi’s cheeks flushed as she slapped his hand away.

Yet her heart was racing.

Stinky Yi Feng, I, I don’t care what you say!

Hmph, don’t care!

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’m hungry, let’s fill up first.”

Yi Feng laughed and began to eat his porridge heartily.

The warm porridge filled his stomach, soothing as if awakening all his organs.

Indeed, a bowl of hot porridge was the best after staying up all night.

“Yi Feng, my mom bought some nuts, I’ll go get some. Want some?” Gu Muxi stood up.

“Of course, I want!” Yi Feng quickly responded.

Gu Muxi went to the kitchen and returned with her hands full of nuts, including raisins, walnuts, and cashews.

“Here, to go with your porridge.” Gu Muxi placed the nuts on the table.

Yi Feng ate the porridge and nuts, praising, “Days like these are really nice. Gu Muxi, your family’s conditions are so good.”

“Would I be considered marrying into your family?”

Gu Muxi’s face reddened, glaring at him, “What marrying in? Dream on!”

“There’s no chance for you to marry in.”

Yi Feng mumbled through his porridge, “Or you can marry into my family, I don’t mind.”

Gu Muxi: “……”

“Yi Feng, just eat your porridge quietly, will you die if you don’t speak?”

Yi Feng chuckled, then suddenly turned to stare at her intently.

“Gu Muxi, don’t move.”

Gu Muxi paused, touching her face, thinking there was something dirty on it.

“What’s wrong?”

Yi Feng leaned in, their faces only a fist’s distance apart.

“Don’t move, there seems to be something in your eye.”

“Ah? What is it?” Gu Muxi quickly rubbed her eye.

” You have me in your eyes.”
