Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 26

“Pfft!”

Yi Feng almost spat out the noodles in his mouth but managed to cover it in time.

“Cough cough, it’s delicious, eat more, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to eat in the future.” Yi Feng smirked weirdly, his tone odd.

Gu Muxi glanced at him suspiciously, then a bolt of lightning flashed through her mind, and she realized the ambiguity in what she had just said…

“Ah! I, I meant, the noodles you cooked are really good!”

“Damn it! Yi Feng, what on earth is in your head!”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks reddened, and she glared at him fiercely.

Yi Feng pretended to be innocent, “What, what did you say? I don’t understand at all.”

“Humph! I’m not talking to you anymore!”

Gu Muxi, her face still flushed, didn’t want Yi Feng to see her embarrassment, so she buried her head in eating noodles.

But her awkward state was fully captured by Yi Feng.

Hehe, this girl is a bit naive!

Indeed, in this era, young people might not always be ready to flirt.

A bowl of noodles, filling their stomachs, both of them sat slumped in their chairs after eating their fill.

“Yi Feng, you go wash the dishes, and mine too, thank you.” Gu Muxi patted her belly.

“Why should I? No way, I’m a guest, plus I cooked the noodles, you go wash them, thank you.” Yi Feng chuckled lightly, shaking his head.

“Then let’s play rock-paper-scissors, the loser washes!” Gu Muxi suggested.

Hearing this, Yi Feng sat up, “Okay, let’s do it, Gu Muxi, I’m sure to win!”

“Don’t underestimate me!” Gu Muxi also straightened up.

The two faced each other, hiding their right hands behind their backs.

“3!”

“2!”

“1!”

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

Gu Muxi chose rock, while Yi Feng chose scissors.

Yi Feng secretly laughed, this girl still loves to choose rock.

Really didn’t want to win against her.

Even though he knew Gu Muxi was likely to choose rock, he still chose scissors.

“Yay! I won, I won!” Gu Muxi jumped around happily like a child.

She spun around, jumping, her black, beautiful hair swaying gently, her exquisite and stunning face beaming with a charming smile.

That smile was so pure, flawless.

That smile was so captivating, enchanting.

Gu Muxi, really beautiful!

Yi Feng was somewhat dazzled, feeling emotional.

How had he never noticed how beautiful she was before?

To others, she was the icy beauty, the aloof school flower, but in his eyes, she was just a violent maniac who liked to stick to people.

Really, sometimes the real treasure is right beside you, but you fail to see it.

Yi Feng watched her, a warm smile appearing on his lips.

“Yi Feng, hurry up and wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, I can help you review English.”

“Your English is pretty bad, you need to cram.”

“Otherwise, it would be a pity if English drags down your college entrance exam score.” Gu Muxi seriously said.

“Okay.” Yi Feng grinned, stood up to collect the dishes, and started washing.

After finishing, the two returned to the room to review English.

“Gu Muxi, there’s an English sentence I don’t quite understand, can you tell me?”

“What sentence?”

“ilikeyou, what does this sentence mean?”

“You don’t know? It means I like you!”

“Me too.”

“Huh? Stinky Yi Feng, asking for a beating!”

Their voices drifted out of the window, blending into the deep night.

That night was silent yet beautiful.

The next day, Saturday, the weekend was a blessing for students and workers alike.

This morning, the first thing Gu Muxi did upon waking up was to poke Yi Feng’s window with a clothes prop.

“Yi Feng, get up!”

“Young master Yi, the sun’s shining on your butt!”

Gu Muxi poked the window and called out a few times, but there was no response from the other side.

“Hm? Is Yi Feng sleeping too deeply?”

Just as she was about to continue prodding, the curtains were pulled aside, revealing Meng Xiaoyun at the window.

At that moment, she froze!

“Uh… Auntie, good morning!”

She quickly retracted the clothes prop, her face full of embarrassment.

Meng Xiaoyun covered her mouth and laughed, “Yi Feng went out to play with Wang Tie early in the morning.”

“He, always can’t stay still on weekends.”

Gu Muxi scratched her head, chuckling awkwardly, “I see…”

“Xixi, remember to come over for breakfast later.” Meng Xiaoyun reminded her, continuing to dust around.

“Okay~”

Gu Muxi responded and hurriedly closed the curtains.

That was so embarrassing!

Stinky Yi Feng, going out to play without calling me!

Really!

Gu Muxi changed into fresh clothes, went out to wash up, and after finishing, she noticed something on the dining table.

Approaching, she saw soy milk, fried dough sticks, and meat buns, along with a note.

Just one glance at the note and Gu Muxi recognized the handwriting; it was left by Yi Feng.

“Gu Muxi, I bought breakfast for you, remember to eat!”

“Yi, the universally invincible handsome, Feng.”

Gu Muxi, feeling a sudden warmth in her heart, folded the note and kept it close.

“Stinky Yi Feng, you know what’s good for you, I’ll forgive you this time.”

She began eating breakfast, a sweet smile lingering on her lips.

Biting into a meat bun, she murmured, “Where did Yi Feng and Wang Tie run off to?”

…

At this moment, Yi Feng and Wang Tie were on Tianhe Road in the bustling commercial street of Tianhe District.

This place was the busiest and most prosperous center of the city, always teeming with people.

Because it housed the city’s largest shopping mall, Tianhe City.

Yi Feng looked at the bustling street, the telephone booths every few meters, the newspaper kiosks on both sides of the road, and some elderly people leisurely eating buns and fried dough sticks under the shop awnings.

It was filled with the daily life vibe of the locals.

“Brother Feng, what are we doing here?” Wang Tie asked, puzzled.

“We’re looking for a suitable shop to rent. After the college entrance exam, we’ll use the more than two months of vacation to earn some money.” Yi Feng smiled.

He had a detailed plan in his mind.

Working for Zhao Xingye was just to use his platform to earn some initial capital.

In the end, he still had to do his own business!

Now, with a thousand yuan in hand, he could rent a shop, refurbish it, and buy tools.

His plan was to secure the shop now, earn money while refurbishing it, and also apply for a business license, which would take quite some time.

After two months, once the shop was ready, he could start the business right after the college entrance exams ended.

If he waited until after the exams to do all these, by the time everything was ready, it would almost be time to start university.

So, Yi Feng planned to be proactive, arrange everything wisely, and make a good profit during the summer vacation.

“Ah? Renting a shop? Here? The rent here isn’t cheap, at least a hundred yuan a month!” Wang Tie exclaimed.

“Wang Tie, broaden your horizons, there’s a reason why the rent here is expensive.”

“If you want to make big money, you have to be willing to spend a little.”

“Look, there’s Tianhe City shopping mall right there, next to it are a few office buildings, and to the south, that’s the high-end residential area, Country Garden.”

“Most families with better conditions in the city come here to shop, think about it, there must be quite a few who have computers at home.”

“Just the computers in companies and enterprises alone is a huge market!”

“For us, that’s a big piece of cake!” Yi Feng laughed.

Wang Tie was stunned, still a naive youth, having no idea how to do business.

But after listening to Yi Feng, he seemed to have an epiphany.

“Eh, brother Feng, that makes sense, indeed, it would be better here than working for Zhao!” Wang Tie admired.

Yi Feng smiled, glad that his friend was finally getting it.

Looking at the bustling commercial district in front of him, he thought to himself.

The future, let’s start from here!
