âVinegar? What vinegar smell? I didnât smell anything,â Gu Muxi sniffed her collar again but found nothing.
Suddenly, she saw Yi Fengâs teasing expression, realized what he meant, her cheeks flushed, and she retorted haughtily, âYou, youâre talking nonsense!â
âWho, whoâs jealous? I couldnât care less about you!â
Yi Feng chuckled and said, âReally? Donât you want to know who sent the watch?â
âWho?â
Gu Muxi instinctively asked, then quickly covered up by saying, âWho, who wants to know? Not me!â
âI donât want to know!â
After saying that, she took a big bite of her old popsicle.
Yi Feng secretly laughed to himself; Gu Muxi looked so cute in this state!
âAlright, Iâll tell you. It was a gift from a business partner, President Feng. That woman is his secretary⦠and also, the mistress type, has nothing to do with me, okay.â
Yi Feng explained.
âEh⦠Mistress? You mean⦠that kind?â Gu Muxi was startled, not expecting such a beautiful woman to be a secretary, and even a mistress?
âYes, you guessed right. That kind,â Yi Feng nodded.
Gu Muxi felt a sudden relief in her heart, as if the frustration that had been building up was instantly gone.
âOh, so what does that have to do with me? Yi Feng, you donât need to explain to me. I really donât care.â
âIâm tired, Iâm going to sleep.â Saying this, Gu Muxi finished her popsicle in a few bites, threw the stick into the trash can, and went straight upstairs.
Yi Feng followed her and asked, âGu Muxi, donât go. Tell me, were you jealous just now?â
âYi Feng, who do you think you are? Youâre thinking too much. I couldnât be less bothered.â
âHey, Gu Muxi, donât be like that. Would it kill you to admit it?â
âYi Feng, youâre really annoying! Just go away, I donât even want to see you!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHey, hey, you obviously were but wonât admit it. I think youâre just being a sore loser!â
âYou say Iâm stubborn? Believe it or not, Iâll bite you!â
âCome on then, you think Iâm afraid of you, huh!â
âAo! â-(ï¿£ç¿ï¿£)-â!â
âWhoa! Gu Muxi, you really bit me! Are you a dog? Iâm blocking!â
âAoâ|ï½oâ²|âAo~~â
âWhoa! Gu Muxi, donât bite me there!â
âStinky Feng! Yuck, you stink!â
The two of them played and messed around all the way upstairs, about to go their separate ways.
âGu Muxi, are you free tomorrow? Itâs the weekend.â
âWhat do you want?â
âLetâs go have breakfast together, pig offal noodle soup, my treat, okay?â
âGive me a break!â
âWhat?â
âBreak, as in go away!â
Gu Muxi opened her door, quickly closed it behind her.
Yi Feng smiled wryly; this girl, was she still angry?
Hard to please, indeed!
But it seemed she wasnât that angry anymore.
Yi Feng shook his head and went into his home.
Late at night, Gu Muxi lay on her bed after washing up, lost in thought.
She turned over and grabbed a pink pig plushie, holding it by its ears.
âPink pig, oh pink pig, why do you look so much like Stinky Feng?â
âHmph, pig-headed!â
Gu Muxi kneaded the plushieâs face with her hands.
âWait, why do I care so much about stinky Feng? Who he dates is none of my business!â
âI donât want to care! He can be with whoever he wants!â
âWhy should I be angry?â
Talking to herself, Gu Muxi kicked the plushie.
âPink pig, say something, why should I be angry?â
âRight, right, Iâm not angry, not at all, who cares? I certainly donât!â
âYou agree, right, pink pig?â
Gu Muxi kicked it again.
âIf you agree, nod your head; if not, shake your head.â
The plushieâs head nodded, and Gu Muxi finally laughed.
âThatâs more like it.â
âPink pig, youâre worth my care!â
Gu Muxi hugged the plushie, petting its head.
The plushie: â¦
âAh, right, I have a day off tomorrow, perfect for giving stinky Feng some extra training. Canât let him fall behind in self-defense.â
âYeah, extra training!â
Gu Muxi, with a sly look in her eyes, pinched the plushieâs cheeks.
â¦
The next morning, while Yi Feng was still asleep, a knock at the door woke him up.
âWho is it?â
âYi Feng, itâs me.â
âOh, Gu Muxi, let me sleep a bit more, itâs too early.â Yi Feng yawned and turned over to continue sleeping.
âBang!â
The door was suddenly pushed open and hit the wall.
This woke Yi Feng up completely, thinking there was an explosion!
Yi Feng sat up quickly, staring at Gu Muxi in astonishment, âUh, Gu, Gu Muxi, what, what are you doing?â
Gu Muxi stood in the doorway in sportswear, with her hair in a ponytail, hands on her hips.
âYi Feng, how can you sleep in on such a beautiful day? Letâs get up and exercise, do some morning exercises or something,â Gu Muxi said earnestly.
âMorning, morning exercises?â Yi Feng said weirdly.
âYes, the plan for the day is in the morning, young man. Why sleep so much? When youâre dead, youâll have plenty of time to sleep!â Gu Muxi stated.
Yi Feng was speechless, âGu Muxi, are you cursing me?â
âCough cough, no, how could I? The early bird catches the worm. Letâs have breakfast and then go for some exercise!â Gu Muxi said, fist raised.
âLetâs forget it. The early worm gets eaten by the bird. Let me sleep a bit more,â Yi Feng lay back down.
Gu Muxiâs eyes flashed with a cold light; she rubbed her fingers and said ominously, âReally not getting up?â
âBang!â
She punched the door, the sound echoing loudly, showing her strength!
Yi Feng jumped up again, âGu, Gu Muxi, youâre not going to use violence on me, are you?â
âI warn you, my mom is at home!â
âIf you dare to lay a hand on me, I, Iâll tell my mom!â
Gu Muxi: â¦
Then, Gu Muxi switched to a âwarm and friendlyâ smile, âYi Feng, how could I lay a hand on you? We grew up together!â
âDonât worry, I wonât.â
Yi Feng, seeing her âkindâ smile, felt goosebumps all over. He swallowed and said, âAlright, I give up, Iâll get up in a bit, okay?â
âDonât wait, let me help you!â Thinking he was delaying, Gu Muxi went straight for the blanket.
Yi Feng: â!!!â
âDonât, Iâm not wearingâ¦â
He hadnât finished speaking before Gu Muxi pulled off the blanket.
