BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23.1
Chapter 23.1
“Aunty, I’m going home to study now!”
“Good child, go ahead,” Meng Xiaoyun said warmly.
“Aunty, Uncle, goodbye.” Gu Muxi waved and turned to leave.
Yi Feng, having filled his stomach, was sprawled on the couch watching TV when Meng Xiaoyun kicked him.
“Go, study with Xixi. The college entrance exam is coming, and you’re still watching TV?”
“What if you don’t do well? What will you do then?”
Yi Feng laughed helplessly, “Alright, alright, Mom, I’m going to study with her now.”
He went back to his room to grab his backpack and headed to Gu Muxi’s house next door.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Muxi undressing.
Gu Muxi, halfway through undressing, suddenly saw Yi Feng barge in and was instantly stunned!
“Ah! Stinky Yi Feng!”
Gu Muxi quickly stopped undressing and covered her chest, glaring at him.
“Cough cough, I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t see anything, really,” Yi Feng said earnestly.
“You, why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Gu Muxi, having adjusted her clothes, asked indignantly with a blushing face.
“I, I just did it subconsciously, out of habit…”
“Hey, don’t just blame me, why are you changing clothes here?”
“You have some responsibility too!” Yi Feng argued.
“My parents aren’t home. Where I change shouldn’t matter, huh!” Gu Muxi dashed into her room to change clothes.
Back in her room, Gu Muxi’s heart raced against the door.
Damn it!
Did stinky Yi Feng see anything?!
That jerk!
Her cheeks burned at the thought.
The embarrassment if Yi Feng had seen…
Always taking advantage of me, huh!
She glanced down at her chest and suddenly thought.
Did he think it was a bit small…
After a while, she emerged at the room’s door in a set of loose home clothes.
The loose white long-sleeve cotton shirt and sports pants should be comfortable, but the combination felt odd.
“Come in!” Gu Muxi glared at him.
Yi Feng chuckled and entered Gu Muxi’s bedroom.
He used to enter Gu Muxi’s room often as a child, but the frequency decreased after junior high.
After moving to high school, Meng Xiaoyun told him that men and women are different, advising him not to run to Gu Muxi’s room all the time.
So, over these three years, Yi Feng had rarely entered her room.
When he stepped into her bedroom again, the first thing he noticed was a unique fragrance.
It was a faint scent, very similar to Gu Muxi’s.
Could the scent of a young girl really be marinated in flavor?
He looked around the room, noticing the simple furniture, but everything was pink.
Pink bed sheets, pink female star posters on the wall, and a pink bookshelf.
Aside from the bed, the largest item in the room was the desk, a long and wide one with various small tools and stationery neatly arranged. Despite the many items, it didn’t look cluttered at all.
This even showed that Gu Muxi might have a bit of an obsession with orderliness.
“What are you staring at? Bring a stool in for yourself. You sit outside, I’ll sit inside,” Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him.
“Hehe, okay, no problem!”
Yi Feng brought in a stool, and the long desk was just big enough for two.
So, they sat side by side, beginning their study session.
Yi Feng was reviewing some memorization-required humanities knowledge, while Gu Muxi was working on math.
For a while, the room quieted down, with only the sound of pens scratching on paper.
After a bit, Gu Muxi suddenly asked, “Yi Feng, what major do you want to apply for?”
“Computer… science,” Yi Feng replied without looking up.
“Computer… science? Is that a good major?” Gu Muxi looked up in surprise.
She had thought Yi Feng would choose something like English.
“Computer science is the future’s big trend, of course, it’s good. What about you?”
“I…”
“Don’t tell me yet, let me guess, aquaculture, so you can go home and raise pigs!”
“Go die, you’re the one who’ll raise pigs!”
“No kidding, are you thinking of architectural design?”
“Huh, I never told you, how did you know?”
Yi Feng put down his pen, turned his head with a serious look, and said, “Not hiding it anymore, I’ll lay my cards on the table, I’m actually… a fortune-teller!”
“Destiny, Eight Trigrams, I know it all!”
Seeing him so earnestly spouting nonsense, Gu Muxi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, shaking with mirth.
“Just you, a fortune-teller?”
“I think you’re more of a Bullshit Master! Haha!”
Yi Feng laughed lightly, with an air of mystery, “If you don’t believe me, let me read your palm.”
“Really? Show me.” Gu Muxi stretched out her fair right hand.
Her skin was snowy, with a delicate pink undertone.
Yi Feng’s heart stirred as he took her hand in his.
This touch, her hand was soft and boneless, smooth and tender, very comfortable to hold.
He squinted, his palm moving back and forth over her palm.
After a while, Gu Muxi impatiently asked, “Hey, stinky Yi Feng, can you actually read palms?”
“Shh, quiet, I was just carefully feeling the direction of your palm lines,” Yi Feng said solemnly.
“Did you find any clues?” Gu Muxi asked curiously.
“I discovered something very important missing in your life!”
“Ah? What’s missing? Wood? Or water?”
“You’re missing me in your life!”
“???”
Gu Muxi was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.
Yi Feng’s face was serious, not seeming like a joke.
“Thump!”
Gu Muxi, blushing, raised her hand and gave him a head bump!
“Ow~ It hurts!”
“Why did you hit me?” Yi Feng covered his head and yelled.
“For making fun of me again!”
“And missing you in my life?”
“If I’m missing a jerk like you, isn’t that just perfect?!”
“Then I’ll be worry-free for life!”
“Dare to take advantage of me? Watch out for my deadly cross-lock!”
Gu Muxi grabbed him and dragged him to the bed.
Yi Feng struggled desperately, refusing to give in.
“Help! Murder!”
Gu Muxi pinned him down, smugly laughing, “Scream all you want, even if you scream your throat out, no one can save you!”
“My throat! My throat!”
Gu Muxi: “……”
