Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 6

After dinner, Yi Feng returned to his room to finish the homework assigned by his teacher.

He opened the window curtains and called out to the opposite side, “Gu Muxi, Gu Muxi!”

The curtains across from him were also drawn back, revealing Gu Muxi behind the window.

Their families lived on the same floor, with exactly opposite layouts, so the windows of their rooms faced each other, about 5 meters apart.

“What do you want?” Gu Muxi asked, arms crossed.

“Nothing much, just wanted to see if you… had eaten your fill,” Yi Feng said with a smile.

“I ate a while ago, I’m going back to my homework if there’s nothing else!” Gu Muxi returned to her desk, but she didn’t close her curtains.

Yi Feng also sat down, and from this angle, he could still see her profile.

At that moment, he saw her bent over writing something.

Gu Muxi was indeed writing, but not homework; she was writing in her diary.

“April 12, 2000, that guy Yi Feng actually dared to kiss me, and in front of the whole class, no less. I was so mad at him!”

“But, after school, I punctured his bike tires, haha!”

She wrote, a smile slowly forming on her lips.

The memory of being kissed by him during the day involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

This scene had been revolving in her head for a long time, popping up now and then.

It made her distracted all day, unable to concentrate on her homework.

Was Yi Feng doing that on purpose?

Why did he suddenly kiss me?

Also, since this morning, the way he looked at me was strange, not as natural as before.

Gu Muxi rested her chin in her hands, staring blankly at the white wall, her smooth legs swinging back and forth under the table.

Could it be… Yi Feng likes me?

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

But she quickly dismissed it.

How could he possibly like me? He just knows how to bully me every day!

That jerk, totally incorrigible!

“Achoo!”

“Who’s thinking about me?” Yi Feng sneezed for no apparent reason.

He looked up at Gu Muxi across the window, “Gu Muxi, are you secretly cursing me?”

“Eh, how did you know?” Gu Muxi turned her head.

Yi Feng: “……”

It was indeed this girl.

Now that it was just the two of them, why not try to probe her thoughts?

Yi Feng moved his stool to the window and waved her over.

“Gu Muxi, come here for a second.”

“What for?”

“Come closer, let’s talk.”

Gu Muxi, looking suspicious, also moved a chair to sit by the window.

“What do you want to talk about?”

Yi Feng leaned on the window and asked, “I’m curious about something. In three years of high school, haven’t you liked any boys?”

“Hmph, no,” Gu Muxi replied haughtily.

“What kind of boy do you like then?”

“I don’t know, haven’t thought about it, but he should be somewhat handsome, at least,”

“Somewhat handsome? Isn’t that me?”

“Yi Feng, your skin must be thicker than the Great Ivan, right?”

“Hehe, tell me honestly, is your standard for a boyfriend someone like me?”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks reddened, “That’s, that’s not it!”

She had indeed pondered this question before. If she were to have a boyfriend, what would he look like?

But no matter how many handsome faces she imagined, none seemed more pleasing to the eye than Yi Feng…

She wondered if it was because she had spent too much time with him?

Growing up together since childhood, her aesthetic development might have been influenced by him!

She had been bothered by this for several days.

“Don’t you have… even a little bit of imagination about a boyfriend?” Yi Feng asked doubtfully.

“No, I just want to do well in the college entrance exams right now. Does dating add points to the entrance examination?” Gu Muxi answered seriously.

Yi Feng felt a bit of a toothache; Gu Muxi’s thoughts was clear.

Which was to say, no thoughts at all about it…

It seemed that winning her over wouldn’t be easy; he needed to plan for the long term.

Hmm? No… when did she start liking me in the previous life?

Yi Feng felt like he had entered a fog.

Unclear, unfathomable.

A woman’s heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea.

And Gu Muxi’s thoughts, probably as deep as the Mariana Trench!

“Yi Feng, you called me over just to talk about this? It can’t just be you asking me, it’s my turn to ask you now!” Gu Muxi also leaned on the window.

“Go ahead.”

“What’s your standard for a girlfriend?”

“My future girlfriend, hmm, about 165 cm tall, weighing around 80 pounds, shoe size 32, likes to tie her hair in a ponytail, fair-skinned, beautiful, just like that,” Yi Feng said with a grin.

Gu Muxi looked disdainful, “Yi Feng, you sure have a lot of requirements. I don’t think there are many people in the world who fit your criteria. You better prepare to be single for life!”

“Too many? Not really, let me add one more thing, she has to have the same blood type as me, O type.”

“O type?” Gu Muxi was taken aback, suddenly remembering, isn’t that my blood type?

Hmm? Aren’t the height, weight, and shoe size all mine?

“Nice one, Yi Feng, making fun of me, aren’t you!”

She finally realized, Yi Feng’s criteria pointed directly to her.

“Ah, who knows, maybe there’s really someone in the world who likes me that’s like that?” Yi Feng flicked his bangs.

Gu Muxi snorted, “Only a fool would like you!”

“I think you’re quite the fool, how about we make do with each other?”

“Scram.”

Gu Muxi pulled the curtains closed, ending this round of verbal sparring.

She moved her chair back to the desk, rested her chin in her hands, and continued to daydream.

Ah, Gu Muxi, stop thinking about these messy things!

Better get back to your homework!

She shook her head, took out her homework, and placed it on the desk.

Her chin propped by one hand, she tilted her head, twirling a pen in the other, trying to focus on the homework questions.

But contrary to her wishes, a barrage of thoughts kept surfacing in her mind, preventing her from settling down.

“Let’s take a break!”

She slapped the desk, put down her pen, stood up, then turned and jumped onto the bed, covering her head with the blanket, her legs kicking rapidly in the air.

After a while, her legs stopped moving, she rolled over, lying on her back on the bed, staring at the white ceiling, lost in thought.

Suddenly, memories from the depths of her mind surfaced.

That year, both of them were six years old.

In the room, Yi Feng, with a runny nose, sat on the floor, engrossed in playing with building blocks.

“Fengfeng, do you want candy? This is wedding candy!” Gu Muxi ran in from outside, came up to him, and opened her little hand, revealing a red piece of wedding candy.

Seeing the candy, Yi Feng’s eyes lit up, and he wiped his nose, “Xixi, I want it, I want it!”

Gu Muxi sat down on the floor, stuffing the candy into his hand, “Mommy says only people getting married eat wedding candy, so you have to promise to marry me in the future, okay?”

“Okay, I’ll marry you!”
