Chapter 164: Chapter 140

At the moment Gu Muxi pulled away the blanket, both of them were stunned.

Gu Muxi stared at Yi Feng, blinking, her mouth slowly opening.

Yi Feng also froze for a while before reacting, hurriedly pulling the blanket back!

For a moment, the two looked at each other speechlessly, the air filled with awkwardness, so awkward one could dig a villa out of it with their toes!

Gu Muxi’s cheeks suddenly reddened, “Cough cough, didn’t see that coming, quite surprising, huh.”

Yi Feng: “…”

“Is that a compliment?”

“Gu Muxi, what are you standing there for, do you want to see it again?!”

Gu Muxi turned her head away, her face reddening as she haughtily said, “Who, who cares, psh!”

After saying that, she turned and ran, dashing out the door.

Yi Feng scratched his head, this girl… why is she so different from other girls!

If it were another girl, probably they could have screamed the highest note in the world.

Yi Feng got out of bed, dressed, and went out with messy hair.

In the living room, aside from Gu Muxi, there was no one else.

“Gu Muxi, where are my parents?” Yi Feng yawned and asked.

“Uncle and auntie went for a walk after breakfast. What did you think, that everyone is like you? A big lazybones!” Gu Muxi, munching on an apple, glanced at him.

But her gaze inadvertently drifted downward, her cheeks reddening further, matching the apple she was eating.

Seeing this, Yi Feng immediately put on a “deeply insulted” expression, looking at her with mournful eyes, “Gu Muxi, you have to take responsibility for me now!”

“Pfft!”

Gu Muxi choked on the apple in her mouth.

“Stinky Feng, what’s with that face?! Why should I, just because I glanced at you? Now I have to take responsibility? You’re kidding!”

“Not just a glance, it was a stare! Now that you’ve seen everything, how am I supposed to find a wife if you don’t take responsibility?” Yi Feng retorted.

Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him, “Heh, stinky Feng, keep dreaming. It’s not the first time I’ve seen it, so what are you going to do, bite me?”

“Wanting me to take responsibility? Humph!”

“Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face. If I don’t see you in 3 minutes, you know what will happen.”

As she spoke, the apple in Gu Muxi’s right hand was crushed with a “snap.”

“Hisss!”

Yi Feng gasped in shock.

Damn! How is Gu Muxi’s grip so strong?

What about the future then?

Yi Feng felt a bit… physically uncomfortable.

“Ok, no problem, I’m going now!”

Yi Feng dashed into the bathroom, and sure enough, he reappeared three minutes later, having combed his hair to look somewhat neater.

“Gu Muxi, why are you so eager to exercise early in the morning?”

“Did you eat something wrong yesterday?”

Yi Feng sat at the dining table, eating white rice porridge with pickles.

“You’re the one who ate something wrong. If people don’t exercise, they’ll waste away. Look at you, you’re even weaker than a girl!” Gu Muxi scornfully said.

Yi Feng: “(￣ェ￣;)……”

Girl?

Please, is there a girl who can break a door with one punch?

Which girl has a black belt in taekwondo?

“Gu Muxi, is it possible that you’re not an ordinary girl?”

Gu Muxi snorted, “I’m not ordinary, so what, am I second class? Stop wasting time, we need to go exercise!”

Under her needle-like gaze, Yi Feng hurriedly scarfed down a bowl of porridge.

After breakfast, Yi Feng and Gu Muxi put on their sports shoes and left together.

They walked to Chunjing Park, the only park in the nearby old district, frequented by many elderly people for walks and dog-walking, and a popular choice for morning exercisers.

In a pavilion by the lake in the park, Gu Muxi started with stretching exercises for Yi Feng.

“To exercise without getting hurt, stretching is essential, Yi Feng, focus.” Gu Muxi, moving her ankles, turned to look at Yi Feng, who looked utterly lethargic.

“I wish I could, but I’m still a bit sleepy from getting up too early,” Yi Feng mumbled, his head drooping.

Gu Muxi’s eyes sparkled with determination, “Alright, then I’ll show you how to wake up a bit.”

“Yi Feng, bend over, try to touch your toes with your hands.”

“Huh? I can’t reach!”

Yi Feng attempted to touch his toes but failed.

“Hehe, let me help you.” Gu Muxi walked over, her hands pushing him down.

“Ow, ow! Gu Muxi, lighter!”

Instantly, Yi Feng was fully awake, thanks to the pain.

“Ah, Yi Feng, your muscles are too stiff, looks like you need to exercise more!” Gu Muxi chuckled secretly.

“Alright, can we change the position? Is there another one that works?”

“Hehe, Yi Feng, what position do you prefer?”

“Let’s start by warming up the neck, how about that?”

“You’ve been moving your neck for quite a while now, want to twist it 180 degrees? Don’t think about slacking, next, we continue stretching the lower limbs.”

“Alright, you demonstrate, I’ll follow. Whatever position you do, I’ll follow, okay?” Yi Feng squatted down, panting.

Gu Muxi then smiled satisfactorily, “You said it, make sure your movements are accurate.”

Saying this, Gu Muxi walked to a pavilion bench. The back of the bench was over a meter tall. She placed her left foot on the backrest, then slowly pressed down sideways. Soon, her waist and leg were touching, her body folding in half!

Yi Feng: “???”

“Gu Muxi, you’re not expecting me to do that, are you?!”

Gu Muxi’s lips curved into a smug smile, “What, too difficult? Not at all.”

After saying that, Gu Muxi switched legs, continuing to fold impressively!

Yi Feng suddenly paused, observing her long legs, and couldn’t help but swallow.

Such long, beautiful legs! Such flexibility!

Gu Muxi indeed deserved to be the top beauty of Taoyuan Middle School!

Ah, wait, doesn’t that mean…

At that thought, Yi Feng’s mood instantly brightened.

Indeed, one must look at problems from a different angle!

Yi Feng changed his position, moving to Gu Muxi’s side for a better look.

Indeed, one must view Gu Muxi from a different angle!

“Stinky Feng, what are you staring at? Don’t space out,” Gu Muxi glanced at him.

“Cough, I’m admiring the mountain view. The ancients said, ‘from the side, a mountain ranges; from the front, a peak.’ The ancients truly did not deceive me!” Yi Feng grinned cheekily.

“Mountain view?” Gu Muxi looked towards the artificial hill across the lake, “What’s so good about a fake mountain?”

She turned and glared at him, “Stop thinking about slacking off, let’s continue stretching those muscles.”

Yi Feng, next to her, tried to emulate her by placing his leg on the back of the chair. Just placing it there was hard enough, let alone pressing down.

“I can’t press down, I should try a different position!” Just as Yi Feng was about to give up, Gu Muxi’s leg came to rest on his, pressing him down.

“Yi Feng, didn’t you say men can’t say they can’t do it? Don’t wimp out, I’ll help you.” Gu Muxi said, placing one hand on his shoulder, pushing him down.

“Ow!!”

Ten minutes later…

Yi Feng lay on the bench, gasping for air.

“Gu Muxi, I can’t do this anymore, let me rest a bit!”

“You’re giving up already? No, let’s do it again!”

“What? Again? My legs are jelly!”

“Is it that exhausting? I don’t feel it.”

“There’s no such thing as a dead ox that’s not tired… besides, you’re just watching me do it, not doing it yourself!”

“Tsk tsk, Yi Feng, you’re really too weak. I’ll tell auntie to make you some soup, add some goji berries to nourish your blood and energy.”

“…”

“Come on, get up, Yi Feng!”

“I’m not getting up, you can kill me but I won’t get up. Let me rest!”

“Alright, alright, consider that a warm-up. Let’s start the main event!”

“Huh? That wasn’t the main event? Gu Muxi, what are you planning now?”

“Of course, we continue training you in self-defense!” Gu Muxi stated earnestly, hands on her waist.

Yi Feng thought back to the self-defense techniques learned in her room last time, which barely didn’t disassemble his bones!

No, she’s definitely using this as an excuse to torment me!

Let her disassemble me again? Only a fool would do that!

“Cough, Gu Muxi, it’s not good to practice here, what if we attract a crowd?” Yi Feng played his trump card, knowing Gu Muxi hated being watched.

But to his surprise, Gu Muxi was unfazed, “It’s okay, we’re practicing judo, not doing anything else. Let them watch.”

Hehe, Stinky Feng, trying to outsmart me?

If I don’t train you properly today, am I, Gu Muxi, easy to bully?

Yi Feng was reluctantly pulled up from the bench by her, looking very much like a wronged little wife.

“Help, help! My grandson fell into the water! Help!”

Suddenly, an old man nearby cried out.

The shout startled both Yi Feng and Gu Muxi, who almost simultaneously looked towards the source.

Not far from the pavilion, an elderly man in traditional attire was desperately shouting, while a little boy struggled in the water!

The old man was frantically stomping his feet, looking ready to jump into the lake to save his grandson.

Yi Feng was shocked; the old man was in his seventies or eighties, jumping in might mean two lives lost!

The situation was extremely critical!!

Without a second thought, Yi Feng rushed from the pavilion and dove into the lake.

Gu Muxi’s expression changed, “Stinky Feng!!”
