Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 13

At Gu Muxi’s home.

Li Wan was cleaning up the dishes, “He sent you a birthday gift before your birthday?”

“And such a big doll, it must have been expensive.”

Gu Muxi, sitting on the sofa holding the pig doll by its ears, swinging it back and forth, couldn’t hide her joy, “I don’t know how much it cost.”

“But this is the best gift Yi Feng has ever given me~”

Saying so, Gu Muxi hugged the pig doll, burying her face in its neck, rubbing against it, the softness was extremely comforting.

She couldn’t be more satisfied with this gift!

Gu Xingzhong, sitting beside reading the newspaper, suddenly said, “Muxi, since Yi Feng gave you such an expensive gift, you should probably return the favor.”

“Okay, dad, I know. I’ll think about it,” Gu Muxi smiled in response.

“Mom, dad, I’m going back to my room to study!”

Gu Muxi jumped up from the sofa, clutching the pig doll, dashed into her room, and closed the door.

“This child, really, hasn’t let go of that doll since she came back.” Li Wan shook her head with a smile.

Gu Xingzhong put down the newspaper, also smiling, “That means Yi Feng chose a gift that truly resonates with her.”

“Yi Feng has been smart since he was a child.”

Li Wan dried her hands, “They grew up together, how could he not understand her heart?”

She pondered for a moment and asked, “Old Gu, do you think… is there a chance for those two kids?”

Gu Xingzhong took out a pair of glasses from the case, put them on, and casually said, “That depends on their fate.”

“Love is all about fate.”

“I do like Yi Feng, but my liking is not enough; in the end, it’s up to Muxi to like him or not.”

Li Wan wiped the table, laughing, “I see Muxi doesn’t dislike Yi Feng.”

…

In her room, Gu Muxi was rolling around on the bed with the pig doll.

“Why hasn’t Yi Feng returned to his room?”

“Having dinner for so long?”

“Surely eating like a fat pig!”

“Don’t say, this pig’s nose, eyes, quite resemble that stinky Yi Feng.”

Gu Muxi lifted the pig doll high, talking to herself.

Thinking about returning a gift to Yi Feng and looking at the large pig doll, it must have cost a significant amount, right?

Maybe… seventy or eighty yuan?

Where did Yi Feng get so much money?

Could it be from Aunt Meng?

He spent so much on me, wouldn’t Aunt Meng scold him?

Gu Muxi suddenly sat up from the bed, thinking it’s better to clarify.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t feel at ease.

“Hello, little Muxi.”

Yi Feng’s voice suddenly came from outside the window.

Gu Muxi, holding the pig doll, went to the window, pulled the curtains, and saw Yi Feng’s smiling face in the opposite window.

“Why did you take so long to eat tonight? Thought you turned into a pig.” Gu Muxi pinched the pig’s face as if pinching Yi Feng’s face.

“Hehe, I was helping my mom with the dishes, got delayed a bit, why, missed me already after such a short time?” Yi Feng teased.

“Hehe, dream on!”

“Considering the gift you gave me today, from now on, I’ve got your back. I guarantee, aside from me, no one dares to bully you.” Gu Muxi raised her chin, proudly stated.

“Got my back? With what?” Yi Feng sneakily glanced at her chest. “With this… you probably can’t cover much!”

Gu Muxi huffed, “You underestimate me?”

“Don’t forget, I’m a black belt in judo, fifth dan!”

“Whoever dares to bully you, I’ll use the cross lock on them.”

Gu Muxi treated the pig doll as a practice object, locking its head with both hands.

“I also know the back-carry throw!”

The pig doll was slammed onto the bed.

“And the hell strangle!”

The pig doll was tightly locked.

“And finally, a throat cut!”

Yi Feng watched, swallowing hard.

Gu Muxi indeed had a violent tendency!

Thinking about these moves used on him, Yi Feng shivered, feeling goosebumps all over.

Terrifying!

But… surely, maybe, probably not, right?

(￣ェ￣;)…

Seeing the pig doll being held by its head, he felt a chill on his neck too.

“Cough cough, Gu Muxi, don’t overdo it, I’m afraid the doll won’t last long!”

Gu Muxi paused, then put down the pig doll, hugging it, “No, no, I’ll take good care of it.”

“By the way, Yi Feng, I have something to ask, did you get the money to buy the doll from Aunt Meng?”

“It’s such a big doll, it must have been expensive, right?”

Yi Feng briefly explained how he earned the money, and Gu Muxi finally understood, her unease settling.

“Wow, didn’t see that coming, Yi Feng, you’re quite talented?”

“Can you teach me?”

Yi Feng saw her serious face, not joking.

Gu Muxi learning to repair computers?

That would surely shock everyone.

“Teaching you is fine, but, hehe… there should be some conditions, right?”

Gu Muxi paused, then lifted the pig doll high, her voice calm.

“You, dare to ask me for conditions?”

Yi Feng: “…”

This… female demon, untouchable!

“Cough cough, don’t be like that, don’t get excited, I was just joking.”

“What’s our relationship, do we need conditions? If you want to learn, I’ll teach you unconditionally, okay?”

Gu Muxi then lowered the pig doll, “That’s more like it.”

“When will you come teach me?”

Yi Feng pointed at her room, “To your room?”

“Is that okay?”

“Sure, very much so, hehe!”

“Hmm? Why do I feel your laugh is so lewd?”

“What? You’re slandering me!”

As they were talking, there was a knock on Gu Muxi’s room door.

“Muxi, do you want some fruit?” It was Li Wan’s voice from outside.

“Uh, Mom, I don’t want it, I have to rush my homework!” Gu Muxi quickly shouted.

“Then okay, I’ll leave it on the dining table, come out and take it if you want,” Li Wan said.

“Okay, Mom, I’ll eat it later,” Gu Muxi responded.

Footsteps receded from the door, she turned back to see Yi Feng wiping his nose.

“Achoo~”

“Achoo~”

Yi Feng sneezed twice in a row, his nose running again.

Gu Muxi tensed, “You’re not catching a cold, are you?”

“It’s nothing, just a bit chilled from the rain, I’ll be fine after a night’s sleep,” Yi Feng said, forcing a smile while wiping his nose.

“Then you better rest early. Did you take any cold medicine?” Gu Muxi asked in quick succession, gripping the pig doll’s ears tightly.

“My mom made me ginger soup, probably don’t need cold medicine… and, we might not have any at home.”

“It’ll be fine by tomorrow,” Yi Feng shrugged.

Gu Muxi was a bit worried.

Stinky Yi Feng, getting sick just to buy me a gift, what a fool!

Big fool!

“Then you should rest early!” Gu Muxi closed the curtains, sat back at her desk.

She picked up her homework book and pen, but couldn’t concentrate.

What if Yi Feng doesn’t take medicine and gets a fever tonight?

If he gets a fever and his brain gets damaged, what then?

If his brain gets damaged, would he become an idiot?

Ah, if he becomes an idiot, and can’t take care of himself, what if he forgets to turn off the gas or has an accident?

Oh no, the consequences are too severe!
