Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 156

The day after tomorrow, in the clear morning weather, Gu Muxi, wearing a fisherman’s hat and carrying a small suitcase, stood downstairs.

After a while, Yi Feng drove over and came to her front.

“Gu Muxi, are you only bringing a little bit?” Yi Feng asked with a smile, getting out of the car to help her with the luggage.

“Just going for one night, why take so much stuff? I’m just taking two sets of clothes and some daily necessities,” Gu Muxi replied with a pout.

Yi Feng opened the trunk, “Ta-da, look what I’ve bought?”

Gu Muxi walked over for a look and saw that it was packed with big and small bags, one large package was definitely a tent.

“Not bad, Yi Feng, bought everything?” Gu Muxi said happily.

“Yes, tents, camping sets, all complete,” Yi Feng nodded.

“Alright, get in the car, let’s set off!”

Gu Muxi, elated, took the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

“Little Feng, let’s go!”

“Alrighty, little master, sit tight, we’re off!”

Yi Feng fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and drove forward.

Their destination was a place called Zhanbei Reservoir on the outskirts of the city.

According to information searched online, many netizens had left comments about camping there, far from the city, with clear mountains and beautiful waters, and particularly good scenery.

In the car, a CD was playing music, featuring songs by Hua Zai.

Both were quite familiar with his songs, humming along lightly on the way, making for a joyful journey.

Yi Feng even imitated Hua Zai’s singing voice, bearing quite a resemblance.

“Hey, Yi Feng, you’re quite good at singing!” Gu Muxi said, somewhat surprised.

Because Yi Feng rarely sang in front of her, she didn’t expect it to be unexpectedly pleasant.

“Of course, back in the day, I was top ten… cough cough, I’m naturally talented,” Yi Feng almost let slip about being among the top ten campus singers.

He hadn’t trained specifically, just sang along, having a better sense of music, making him better than the average person.

“Hmph~ give you a little color and you open a dye workshop!” Gu Muxi glanced at him.

“If you don’t believe it, I’ll hold a personal concert for you tonight, how about that?” Yi Feng laughed.

“Personal concert? I don’t believe it,” Gu Muxi said, turning her head to look out the car window.

Aside from the retreating scenery outside, the car window faintly reflected the figures of two people.

Gu Muxi’s eyes lingered on Yi Feng’s face, suddenly her cheeks flushed.

From the side… Yi Feng is actually quite handsome.

Thinking this, she turned her head back and sneakily glanced at him again.

From the side, Yi Feng’s profile was somewhat delicate, even carrying a bit of a scholarly air.

All this time, although the two of them had always been together, she hadn’t really taken a good look at his face.

Now, in the enclosed space of the car, she had the chance to observe more closely.

“Gu Muxi, is there something dirty on my face?” Yi Feng suddenly asked, touching his face.

“Ah, no, nothing,” Gu Muxi, with flushed face, turned her head back towards the window.

“Then why are you staring at me, hehe, say, do you like me?” Yi Feng teased.

“Look if you want to, openly, I don’t mind.”

“Cut it out, who’s looking at you! Shameless!” Gu Muxi stubbornly denied.

But at this moment, her heart was thumping wildly, as if a deer was bouncing around in her chest.

Yi Feng glanced at her and laughed, “Still not admitting it, then why is your face red?”

“Cough cough, it’s the sun, okay!” Gu Muxi pouted in defense.

“Drive your car, why so much nonsense?”

Seeing her acting tough like a dead duck, Yi Feng chuckled inwardly.

This look of Gu Muxi was really cute!

The car sped along the road.

About two hours later, after passing a bumpy mud road and asking two villagers along the way, they finally arrived at Zhanbei Reservoir.

The scorching sun baked the earth, and although the hottest days had passed, the heat in Guangdong Province hadn’t subsided yet.

Yi Feng also saw other tourists and villagers swimming in the reservoir and others camping nearby.

To avoid the crowd, they continued forward a bit further to find a relatively flat, open spot near the lake.

“Perfect, let’s camp here!” Yi Feng parked the car on the open ground, looking at the expansive lake and mountain scenery in front of him, feeling refreshed.

“Not bad, camping here will definitely be comfortable!” Gu Muxi exclaimed excitedly, unbuckling her seatbelt, getting out of the car to breathe the fresh air.

“Whoo-ha! The air is really fresh!”

Gu Muxi placed her hands on her hips, took several deep breaths, and looked at the rippling lake in front of her, her face showing happiness.

Yi Feng also got out of the car, smiling, “With the sun this strong, let’s set up the tent and the canopy first.”

“Sure! But… I don’t know how to set up a tent, ha…” Gu Muxi stuck out her tongue, honestly admitting.

“Don’t worry, I know, I’ll teach you.” Yi Feng waved his hand, then opened the car trunk, took out a large package containing the tent.

Gu Muxi saw him carrying only one tent, stunned, and asked, “Yi Feng, just one tent?”

“Yes, what did you think?” Yi Feng unzipped the package casually.

Gu Muxi was shocked, then… does that mean she has to sleep in the same tent with him tonight?!

Thinking this, her cheeks flushed, she mumbled, “Okay, okay then.”

For some reason… she felt a little bit of anticipation…

She shook her head, trying to rid herself of these messy thoughts.

Gu Muxi, Gu Muxi, what are you thinking!

It’s not like… they haven’t shared a bed before…

“Gu Muxi, help me pull the tent fabric while I thread the poles through,” Yi Feng instructed without looking up.

“Uh, okay!”

Soon, a large tent, tall enough for a person, was erected by Yi Feng. The tent was spacious enough inside to accommodate four adults comfortably.

After hammering in the stakes and laying down the floor mat, all was done.

“Ha-ha, done, how about it, Gu Muxi, is my tent setting skill okay?” Yi Feng clapped his hands, proud.

“Wow, didn’t see that coming, Stinky Feng, you actually have this skill, not bad, deserves praise!” Gu Muxi complimented.

“The tent is set up, let’s go fishing. I specifically bought fishing rods and a folding sun umbrella, one for each of us,” Yi Feng said, taking the

fishing rods and retractable sun umbrella from the trunk, then assembling them by the shore.

“Done, but… I want to go for a swim, Gu Muxi, do you want to join? It’s so hot today, the lake water is really cool, swimming will definitely be comfortable!” Yi Feng turned to ask.

“No, I don’t want to get my clothes wet,” Gu Muxi shook her head.

“Hehe, then I’ll go swim by myself!” Yi Feng immediately took off his shirt and ran into the lake.

Gu Muxi, a bit worried, admonished, “Stinky Feng, don’t swim too far, be careful!”

“I know!” Yi Feng responded, then dived into the lake water, reemerging, swimming around like a fish.

Gu Muxi shook her head with a smile, went back to the car to get snacks from the luggage, planning to eat snacks while fishing.

A few minutes later, when she returned to the shore with the snacks, she no longer heard any sound from Yi Feng.

“Stinky Feng?” Gu Muxi called out, but received no response, her heart instantly leapt to her throat!

Stinky Feng couldn’t have had an accident in there, could he?!

“Yi Feng! Where are you?”

“Yi Feng! Stop playing! Come out!”

Gu Muxi called out a few more times, but still no response, her face suddenly turned pale.

Could something really have happened?!

Gu Muxi’s face was full of urgency and worry, the next moment, she bit her lip and dove headfirst into the lake.

Yi Feng, you can’t have an accident!

She frantically dived in the lake, searching continuously, so anxious she started crying, her tears mixing with the lake water, indistinguishable.

“Stinky Feng!” Gu Muxi shouted with a crying tone.

At this moment, her heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss!

At this moment, she felt as if she had lost the most important thing in her life!

At this moment, countless thoughts and regrets surged in her heart!

“Gu, Gu Muxi, you called me?” Suddenly, Yi Feng’s voice came from behind her on the shore.

Gu Muxi turned around abruptly, only to see Yi Feng standing on the shore, holding a bag with plums inside.

For a moment, both of them were frozen, stunned.

“Damn it! Stinky Feng!” Gu Muxi quickly swam to the shore, grabbing Yi Feng tightly, as if afraid he would disappear again.

“Uh… Gu Muxi, you, what are you doing?” Yi Feng asked, stunned.

Gu Muxi looked up, her eyes red, tears still flowing non-stop.

“Jerk! Stinky Feng! Where did you go? I, I, I thought you… bastard!”

“Uh, I just swam over there and saw someone picking fruit, so I went to take a look. The villager was really warm-hearted and gave me a bag,” Yi Feng lifted the bag in his hand, showing it to her.

“Jerk! Then why didn’t you answer me?!” Gu Muxi let go of him, wiping away her tears.

“I heard your voice, so after packing the plums, I ran back, didn’t I?” Yi Feng said helplessly.

“What did you think I was doing?”

Gu Muxi, sobbing, glared at him, “Jerk! You scared me, I thought you, thought you died in the lake!”

Seeing her angry yet aggrieved look, and for the first time seeing her cry so sadly, Yi Feng felt a twinge of heartache and hugged her tightly.

“Sorry for making you worry.”
