Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 54

“You can kiss either the left or right cheek.” Yi Feng twisted his head from side to side, bringing his face close to hers.

Gu Muxi’s pretty face turned red as she glared at him, “In your dreams!”

Stinky Yi Feng actually dared to make such a condition with me?

How infuriating!

Yi Feng smiled and said, “Okay, okay, I was just joking. Open it and see if it works.”

Gu Muxi huffed and started to unwrap the package, saying, “Considering you gave me the Walkman, I can cook something delicious for you as a thank you.”

Yi Feng: “???”

“Gu Muxi, is this your way of returning a favor?!”

Every time Yi Feng remembered Gu Muxi’s cooking, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nauseous.

Truly a dark memory!

“Please, I’ve been looking up recipes online recently and learning to cook, okay!” Gu Muxi glared at him, proudly stated.

“Have you cooked anything yet?”

“Not yet, I’m still in the learning phase, haven’t practiced yet.”

“And you still want to cook for me?!”

“Looking for a guinea pig, huh!”

“Pfft! Gu Muxi, you really want my life, huh! No way!”

Gu Muxi looked up at him, rubbing her fists.

“Creak, creak…”

“Is my cooking really that bad?”

“It’s not about being good; it’s just extremely bad.”

“Hmm?”

“Okay, okay, this can be discussed… Let’s talk nicely, huh.”

“Hehe, you know what’s good for you.”

“So, can you take your hand off my neck now?”

Gu Muxi finally satisfied, let go of her grip, and continued to unbox.

After opening the packaging, a brand-new Walkman appeared, complete with accessories, including earphones.

“Cool!”

Gu Muxi excitedly took out the Walkman, flipping it over in her hands, full of joy.

Yi Feng came closer, “Put in the batteries, insert the cassette, and turn it on to try.”

“Okay, wait a minute!”

Gu Muxi dashed off the bed, rummaged through the bookshelf for batteries and a cassette, and hurried back, inserting the batteries into the Walkman herself.

“What song are you listening to?” Yi Feng asked curiously.

“Karen Mok’s ‘Just Karen Mok’, it’s so nice~” After inserting the cassette, Gu Muxi scratched her head, “How does this work?”

“How do you turn it on?”

Yi Feng took the Walkman, “Let me see, did you insert it wrong?”

“Inserted wrong? No way, I did it precisely.”

“You’ve inserted it backwards, it’s not supposed to go in like that. You need to align it with this black slot first, then slowly insert it. Don’t push too hard or too fast; it will hurt, and you might damage it. You have to control the strength properly, like this, insert it slowly, deeper, until you hear a ‘click’ sound.”

Yi Feng demonstrated it for her.

“Click.”

The cassette was securely inserted into the Walkman.

Gu Muxi was delighted, “It really works! Yi Feng, you did it so well!”

Yi Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, “Cough, cough, you’re just noticing my talent now? You’ll understand better in the future!”

“Hmm? What’s there to understand? It’s just inserting a cassette, and you’re getting carried away because I complimented you?” Gu Muxi gave him a look.

After inserting the cassette, they turned on the Walkman.

The device started successfully, and music began to flow softly.

“Suddenly. The sky darkens. The world could suddenly have nothing. I think of you…”

Gu Muxi hummed along with the song, her long, smooth legs swinging in rhythm at the edge of the bed, her loose nightgown inadvertently moving up, captivating Yi Feng’s gaze.

A place coveted by many a man!

If Gu Muxi wore stockings… it would be a killer look, wouldn’t it?

Yi Feng imagined Gu Muxi in absolute territory, his blood rushing to his head.

This is too much!

Any man would find it hard to resist!

“Yi Feng, do you want to listen together? It’s better with the earphones!” Gu Muxi suddenly asked.

Yi Feng composed himself, smiling, “Of course, let me listen too!”

Gu Muxi plugged in the earphones, sharing one with him.

Yi Feng took the earphone, put it in his ear, and indeed, the sound quality improved.

He lay on the bed, comfortably listening to the music.

Because the cord wasn’t long enough, Gu Muxi had to lie down too, right beside him.

So, they lay together on the bed, quietly listening to the music, immersed in Karen Mok’s soul-stirring voice.

Yi Feng smelled the fragrance emanating from Gu Muxi, a mix of body scent and shampoo, refreshing and stirring something deep within.

It was the feeling of being moved.

Yi Feng slightly turned his head to look at Gu Muxi.

From the side, he could see Gu Muxi’s exquisite profile, long eyelashes, cute little nose, beautiful lips – every detail was perfect, like a masterpiece meticulously crafted by the gods.

Gu Muxi was truly beautiful, incomparably so.

She would undoubtedly be the top beauty in any school.

No wonder there were so many boys in school pursuing her, secretly admiring her.

How had he not noticed her beauty before?

Was it because they were too familiar?

Perhaps, being too close, one fails to notice the beauty right beside them.

“Gu Muxi, have you considered dating after going to college?” Yi Feng grinned, suddenly asking.

Gu Muxi turned her head to look at him, puzzled, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

“Just answer me.”

“I don’t know, maybe.”

“If nobody wants you, I might consider taking you in.”

“Hehe, Yi Feng, are you itching for a beating again? Joking, as if I can’t find someone if I wanted to date. So many are chasing me!”

“You had quite a few in high school too, didn’t see you dating?”

“Uh… that’s because I didn’t like any of them!”

“Is it because your standards are too high?”

“Hmph, of course, the man I like should be a great hero riding on rainbow clouds.”

“You’re joking, right? I can’t cultivate immortality! How about being the hero’s little brother? The kind that can’t fly.”

“Hmph, no way.”

“Then you’re destined to be alone.”

“Stinky Yi Feng, asking for a beating!”

Gu Muxi turned over, hands around his neck, showing her playful and fierce side.

Then she raised her leg and aimed at Yi Feng. Her cute little foot was smooth and rounded, like a string of pearls.

“Eat my kick!”

Yi Feng’s eyes sparkled, “Such good fortune?”

He grabbed her leg, opened his mouth, ready to bite.

Gu Muxi was startled, quickly retracting her leg, puffing her cheeks, glaring at him.

“Stinky Yi Feng, you were really going to bite! Are you a dog or something?!”

Yi Feng: “Woof, woof~”

Gu Muxi: “(；?＿?)……”

“Stinky Yi Feng, you pervert!”

“Thanks for the compliment, I’m honored!”

“Damn it, I’ll strike first!”

“Wow! Gu Muxi, you were really going to bite!”
