Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 155

“Well then, I haven’t had anywhere to go for the summer vacation; it might be a good chance to relax.” Gu Muxi said expectantly.

“That’s right, as it should be, a combination of work and leisure,” Yi Feng agreed.

“So, it’s settled then. I’ll go home and prepare, and buy some equipment tomorrow! Hee hee!” Gu Muxi stood up, bouncing and running upstairs.

After watching her leave, Wang Tie asked with a sycophantic look on his face, “Hehe, Brother Feng, how did I do just now?”

“Not bad, not bad, I’ll give you a raise!” Yi Feng laughed.

“Brother Feng is awesome! Number one in the world, wise and brave, graceful as a jade tree in the wind, naturally charming, and full of domineering presence!” Wang Tie exclaimed excitedly.

Yi Feng: “…”

“Wang Tie, if you don’t know how to use idioms, don’t misuse them!”

“That’s supposed to be suave and debonair, with a rightful domineering presence! Pfft, no, that’s not right, forget about that part.”

“I’m going back to sleep, ha!”

Yi Feng shook his head, hands clasped behind his back, and left.

Wang Tie scratched his head, “Could it be… ‘dominance without arrogance’?”

…

At night, Gu Muxi, after taking a bath, was happily looking up camping strategies online.

“Ding ding ding—”

Suddenly, a QQ message sounded.

She opened it to find a message from her desk-mate and best friend Chen Jiajia; both had successfully applied to and were accepted into South China University of Science and Technology, and even into the same major.

Chen Jiajia: “Xixi, you haven’t slept yet? What are you up to?” (Tongue out)

Gu Muxi: “I’m looking up camping materials! I’m going camping the day after tomorrow!”

Chen Jiajia: “Camping? Are you going alone? Or with someone?” (Puzzled)

Gu Muxi: “Going with Yi Feng. He bought a car, which is really convenient, haha!”

Chen Jiajia: “Ah? Just the two of you?”

Gu Muxi: “Yeah, what about it.”

Chen Jiajia: “OMG, don’t tell me you and him are… hehe, got together?”

Gu Muxi immediately rolled her eyes and typed: “Where did your mind go? What do you mean got together? Warn you, don’t think nonsense!”

Chen Jiajia: “Hehe, I often saw you guys playing together at school, being in a relationship is normal!”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks flushed, she typed: “Absolutely not, don’t talk nonsense!”

Chen Jiajia: “Really not?”

Gu Muxi: “Really!” (Smiley face)

Chen Jiajia: “I don’t believe it. I think you two are quite compatible. In school, no other boys could get close to you, only Yi Feng, haha, just get together, I won’t laugh at you, I would congratulate you!”

Gu Muxi: “Believe it or not, there’s nothing.”

Chen Jiajia: “Really nothing? Then do you have feelings for him? Otherwise, why would you agree to go camping with Yi Feng… and just the two of you!”

“Think about it, a lone man and a single woman, in the wild mountains, like dry wood meeting a fierce fire, hehe!”

Gu Muxi with a full forehead of black lines: “You’re the dry wood and fierce fire. We’re just going camping, fishing, wild cooking, relaxing, not what you’re thinking.”

Chen Jiajia: “Back in school, that guy, Li, the school hunk, just asked you out for a meal at the school gate, and how come I never saw you agree? But now you agree to have a two-person world with Yi Feng?”

Gu Muxi: “Can it be the same? That Li guy is super annoying, I really dislike him.”

Chen Jiajia: “So, you mean you don’t dislike Yi Feng? Still saying you have no feelings?”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks were burning, she defended: “Really not!”

Chen Jiajia: “Then I ask you, did you really grow up together from a young age?”

“Yes.”

“Do you hate him?”

“Not really.”

“Would you be worried about him if he was in danger?”

“Uh, I suppose.”

“Would you be happy for him if he got the top score in the province?”

“Uh, happy.”

“Oh, I see, you’re more than friends but less than lovers!”

“Ah? What?”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks turned even redder, her heart pounding.

“What are you saying? More than friends but less than lovers, nonsense!”

Chen Jiajia: “Where am I spouting nonsense? I’ve gained experience from watching 8 Taiwanese romance dramas!”

“In the TV dramas, the male and female leads all go through this phase, my conclusions are based on experience!”

“More than friends but less than lovers means your relationship has surpassed that of friends, but is just a bit shy of lovers, understand?”

Gu Muxi: “What, absolutely not!”

Chen Jiajia: “Okay, okay, won’t make you angry anymore, let’s just say I’m talking nonsense. Sigh, but to be honest, sometimes I’m really envious of you, having a childhood sweetheart. Now I don’t even know how my boyfriend is doing…”

Gu Muxi was startled, Chen Jiajia had a boyfriend?

Before she could type, Chen Jiajia continued.

“I wonder if he’s eating well, sleeping well, if he’s been born yet.”

Gu Muxi: “…”

“Jiajia, why the rush? Maybe you’ll have a boyfriend in college?”

Chen Jiajia: “Gu Muxi, you think I’m you? Waving your hand, the line of people wanting to be your boyfriend could fill the school playground!”

Gu Muxi: “It’s not that exaggerated, really!”

Chen Jiajia: “How is it not? There were seas of people chasing you in high school, it’s just that you didn’t fancy any of them. Ah, not right, there was one you did, Yi Feng, you two were always playing together.”

“I think Yi Feng is not bad, if you don’t fancy him, give him to me?”

Gu Muxi: “No, Stinky Feng has a bunch of problems, you definitely wouldn’t like him!”

Chen Jiajia: “Look, getting anxious, someone’s getting anxious, still saying you have no feelings for Yi Feng?”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks were glowing red, she glared at the screen and quickly typed: “Hmph~ Enough, not going to talk nonsense with you, I’m going to sleep!”

After saying that, Gu Muxi immediately closed QQ, but sat in front of the computer motionless.

“More than friends, less than lovers…”

“Is it? Should be, maybe, probably, not…”

Gu Muxi mused, dazed.

Then, she left her seat, lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her thoughts in disarray, various scenes with Yi Feng floating in her mind.

When her thoughts became too chaotic, she grabbed a pink pig beside her, squeezing its face.

“Pink pig, what do you think about Stinky Feng?”

Pink pig: “…”

“Why no reaction? What use are you?” Gu Muxi glared at it and punched it, sending it flying.”
