Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 53

On the way home, Wang Tie was still indignant.

“Brother Feng, that fatso is too bad!”

“He clearly just wants to ditch you and monopolize the repair business money!”

“Damn! Initially, he spoke nicely about us handling the repair business, but now that he has that Gao guy, he’s ditched us!”

“Truly shameless!”

Yi Feng rode his bicycle, his expression calm, not as furious as Wang Tie.

Because he had anticipated such an occurrence, it was only a matter of time, just sooner than expected.

“Wang Tie, there’s no need to be angry with such people; it only adds to your own troubles.”

“Remember, there are no permanent friends in business, only permanent interests.”

“Even the closest business partners, friends, can turn against you if the interest is large enough to tempt them.”

“Betrayal and turning faces are quite common, and there are many so-called friends who would stab you in the back at a critical moment.”

Yi Feng said calmly.

He had seen and experienced too much of this.

That’s why he became more ruthless in business dealings, never fully trusting the other party.

No matter the collaboration, always keep something in reserve for yourself.

Wang Tie nodded heavily after listening to Yi Feng, “Yes, Brother Feng, I understand, I will remember!”

He engraved Yi Feng’s words deeply in his heart.

“Alright, we made a good sum of money today, cheer up,” Yi Feng smiled.

“By the way, I see you’ve been getting close with Xu Xiaoling recently, any progress?”

Wang Tie’s round face showed a rare shy expression, “Hehe… there’s a bit of progress.”

“Brother Feng, I followed your method, thickening my face to see her every day, asking her out for ice cream, snacks, and she seems a bit receptive to me now!”

“I feel hopeful!”

“Really? I didn’t expect that, you’re quite something!” Yi Feng expressed surprise.

“That’s because you taught me well!” Wang Tie said with a naive smile, his face radiating happiness.

“Then you have to work harder, I think Xu Xiaoling… might be a bit difficult to win over,” Yi Feng smiled.

He had seen Xu Xiaoling, who indeed was pretty, the belle of the class. But well… she seemed to like playing around, hanging out with several boys in the class.

And it was rumored she was also close to a boy from the neighboring class.

That girl seemed quite astute, and Wang Tie, being rather simple and naive, might not easily win her over.

“Mm-hm, Brother Feng, I’ll try my best!” Wang Tie was spirited.

The two chatted while biking and soon arrived back at the workers’ housing complex.

After parting with Wang Tie in the complex, Yi Feng, in high spirits, hummed a tune as he ran home.

But upon opening the door, the house was silent, without the usual sound of his parents talking.

“Huh? Where did mom and dad go?” Yi Feng scratched his head in confusion.

“Mom?”

“Dad?”

Yi Feng called out as he entered, but got no response.

Where could they have gone?

Usually, at this time, his parents would be watching TV.

Perhaps they went visiting someone.

Probably.

Never mind, he’d surprise them when they returned.

Yi Feng put the gifts for his parents back in his room, then hid Gu Muxi’s gift in a bag before heading to the door across, to Gu Muxi’s house.

He knocked on the door.

“Is Young Master Gu home?”

After a while, hurried footsteps came from inside, and then the door opened.

“Hmm? Stinky Yi Feng, why are you only coming back now? Where did you go to hang out?”

Gu Muxi, wearing a loose pink nightgown that revealed her long, smooth legs beneath, was drying her wet hair. Her delicate face was flushed, her fair skin glowing pink, exuding a tempting post-bath allure.

Yi Feng’s eyes widened at the sight.

Damn it, Gu Muxi, this little temptress!

Daring to dress like this to seduce me, I must use the demon-subduing staff on her in the future!

Gu Muxi, drying her hair and not hearing Yi Feng’s response, glanced at him again and noticed his gaze scanning her body. Her cheeks flushed, and she glared at him, “Stinky Yi Feng, what are you looking at!”

“Cough, nothing, nothing. I was just thinking about buying a couple of toy planes to play with.”

“Planes? Why play with planes?”

“I wanted to try out landing techniques!”

Gu Muxi paused, then looked down at her chest. The loose nightgown covered everything, and she realized his implication.

“Horrible! Stinky Yi Feng, you’re asking for it!”

Gu Muxi angrily grabbed Yi Feng’s right hand, instantly twisted it behind his back, and locked him in place.

“Ow, ow, let go!” Yi Feng pretended to cry out in pain, though it didn’t hurt much.

But he felt his back against something soft and fluffy…

Not small at all!

Could she be undergoing a second development?

Seeing him cry out, Gu Muxi let him go and allowed him inside.

“So, why are you late? Where did you go to mess around?”

“Hmm? You smell like tobacco and alcohol; did you go drinking again?” Gu Muxi, hands on her hips, glared at him like a housekeeper.

Yi Feng closed the door behind him and looked around, “Your parents aren’t home? Let’s talk in the room!”

“Don’t look at me like that; I had a social engagement tonight, no choice.”

Gu Muxi, pinching her nose in disdain, walked towards the room, “Social engagement? Not studying properly, what kind of engagement?”

They entered the room together and closed the door.

“Hmm? Your parents aren’t home either?”

“My parents aren’t home, too. Maybe they went out together?”

Yi Feng asked curiously.

Gu Muxi shook her head, “I’m not sure where they went, but they did go out together.”

“Oh?” Yi Feng scratched his head in confusion.

Lately, he had indeed seen his parents occasionally go out with Gu Muxi’s parents, but he didn’t know where.

They never talked about it after returning.

Well, he’d ask when they came back.

Yi Feng sat down on Gu Muxi’s bed and comfortably lay down.

Gu Muxi’s bed was really fragrant and soft.

“Stinky Yi Feng, you’re all smelly and lying on my bed? Get up!” Gu Muxi warned seriously, baring her little tiger teeth.

“Stinky men, stinky men, how can they be men if they’re not stinky? It’s okay, let me rest a bit, I’m so tired today!” Yi Feng shamelessly smiled.

“No way, no way, get up!” Gu Muxi climbed onto the bed, trying to pull him up.

But Yi Feng grabbed the sheets and refused to budge.

Gu Muxi puffed her cheeks, disregarding everything, sat

on his stomach, grabbed his collar, and tried to pull him up.

“Get up!”

“Not getting up!”

“Then I’ll strangle you!”

“Stop! Gu Muxi, do you like this position?”

“Hmm? What do you mean? I have a thousand ways to strangle you, tell me, which position do you prefer?”

Yi Feng “shyly” said, “As long as you like it, I can accept any position, hehe.”

Gu Muxi paused, looked down, and realized she was sitting on him in her nightgown. Her cheeks instantly turned as red as apples, and she hurriedly got off.

“Stinky Yi Feng, asking for a beating!”

Gu Muxi’s little fists were about to fall.

“Stop! Can you not hit my face?”

“Why can’t I?”

“Because… I still need to rely on my face to make a living.”

“Thinking too beautifully!”

Then, her little fists fell like raindrops on Yi Feng.

It didn’t actually hurt, almost felt nice, but Yi Feng still “howled” cooperatively.

Eventually, she forcefully pulled him up with her domineering strength.

“Don’t lie on my bed!”

“Alright, alright, no more messing around, I have a gift for you.”

Gu Muxi, holding his collar, suddenly froze.

“Gift? For me? What gift?”

Yi Feng picked up the bag from beside the bed and handed it to her.

“Take a look for yourself, you’ll definitely like it.”

Gu Muxi let go of him, took the bag, and looked inside, pulling out a box.

When she saw the pattern on the box, she froze for a moment, then her expression turned to one of surprise.

“A Walkman?!”

“Ah! A Walkman!”

She shouted excitedly.

This was the Sony Walkman she had always wanted to buy, portable and able to change cassettes!

And this Walkman even came with a pair of headphones!

Now she could listen to music anytime, anywhere!

She had wanted to buy it before but didn’t have the money and didn’t want to ask her parents. She planned to work a summer job after the college entrance exam to save up and buy it.

She excitedly touched the Walkman’s box, happy like a child with a new toy.

Yi Feng, seeing her delighted expression, smiled slightly.

It was indeed to her liking.

“Yi Feng, really, really for me?”

“You’re so kind to give me a Walkman?” Gu Muxi looked at him skeptically, as if doubting his motives.

“What’s with that look? What’s wrong with buying you a gift with the money I earned? Don’t worry, there are no strings attached,” Yi Feng smiled.

“Then… thank you,” Gu Muxi felt warm inside and smiled sweetly.

Yi Feng is not bad, knowing to buy me gifts, he’s quite bearable.

Yi Feng grinned, “Gu Muxi, just a thank you? How about… you give me a kiss?”
