Yi Feng laughed, raised his hand to hold hers, squeezed it, and felt Gu Muxiâs hand was smooth and soft.
âMiss Gu, is this okay then? Shall we head out?â
Gu Muxi leaned in contentedly, and they walked side by side, holding hands.
On the way, they strolled around the campus while chatting leisurely.
âStinky Feng, you have no idea how annoyed I was today. Seven or eight people came up to me asking for my phone number, and three of them even sent flowers to my dorm. Itâs really annoying,â Gu Muxi pouted.
Yi Feng laughed, âAs expected, who wouldnât be attracted to the new campus belle? You indeed stand out among the rest.â
Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him, âAnd youâre laughing? You still feel like laughing? If this continues⦠how am I supposed to study?â
âArenât you afraid someone will steal me away?â
Yi Feng looked at her seriously and said earnestly, âNot afraid, because they would be killed by you.â
Gu Muxi: ââ¦â¦â
âStinky Feng! Itching for a beating again, huh?â Gu Muxi pinched the soft flesh around his waist.
âAm I such a violent person? Am I not gentle?â
Yi Feng inhaled sharply and chuckled, âGentle, youâre the gentlest. The last time I saw a girl this gentle was⦠well, the last time.â
Gu Muxi laughed out loud, her laughter as beautiful and enchanting as a blooming flower.
At that moment, Yi Feng was almost melted by her smile.
âXixi, you look pretty when you smile. Smile more often,â Yi Feng suggested.
Gu Muxi gave him a look, âIf I smile all day, wouldnât I become a fool?â
âThat would still be a very pretty fool,â Yi Feng stated seriously.
âStinky Feng! Iâll tear you apart!â
Gu Muxi, infuriated, started to make a move.
Knowing he was no match, Yi Feng quickly ran away.
The two of them frolicked like this all the way out of the school gate to the bustling street where they had lunch, which was even more lively at night.
Running a business targeting college students is indeed profitable, earning money all day long.
âStop, Gu Muxi, letâs call a truce. Didnât you say you were hungry? What do you want to eat?â Yi Feng asked, waving his hand.
Gu Muxi naturally looped her arm through his, acting coquettishly, âI want to eat⦠I want to eat bowl pudding!â
âAnd⦠kebabs, and lots and lots of tasty things!â
Yi Feng laughed, âOkay, no problem. Whatever you want to eat, weâll eat. Iâll feed you till youâre a big fatty, then no one will compete with me for you.â
Gu Muxiâs cheeks flushed at his words, retorting, âYouâre the one whoâll turn into a big fatty. I donât want to be a fatty!â
Yi Feng chuckled, knowing that Gu Muxi cared a lot about her figure. After all, itâs natural for girls to love beauty.
âThereâs a grilled lamb skewer stall up ahead. Letâs go check it out,â Gu Muxi said excitedly, pulling Yi Feng along quickly.
They arrived at the stall, run by an out-of-towner, a man in his fifties with a beard resembling that of Afanti.
âTwo handsome lads and beauties, what would you like? Two skewers of lamb? Really delicious, very satisfying!â
The stall owner greeted them warmly.
Gu Muxi mimicked his accent, laughing, âGive me two skewers, with lots of chili, and more meat to make it really satisfying!â
Yi Feng joined in, âExactly, these skewers smell great. Throw in some crispy bits, thatâs the proper way!â
The stall owner was momentarily dumbfounded by their conversation.
âAre you kids also from the north of Xinjiang?â
Gu Muxi covered her mouth, laughing, âNope, just learned it from TV!â
The stall owner burst out laughing.
After grilling two skewers of lamb, he even threw in an extra serving of lamb offal worth five yuan, which included tasty lung pieces.
âWishing you a long and lasting love, come back anytime!â The stall owner placed his hand on his chest, bowing.
Gu Muxi felt sweet inside and smiled, âThank you, boss, wish you good business!â
Yi Feng paid the money, and they found a corner along the street to enjoy their skewers.
âWow, this is so delicious!â Gu Muxi munched happily, her cheeks puffing up like a cute little hamster.
âTake it slow, donât choke,â Yi Feng cautioned.
âThree yuan for such a big skewer, the boss is really generous.â Gu Muxi was delighted, not minding the grease around her mouth.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She quickly finished a large skewer, but her lips were covered in grease.
âLook at you, all greasy. Let me wipe it off for you,â Yi Feng said, taking out a tissue to clean her lips.
Gu Muxi, looking at Yi Fengâs serious face and feeling the gentle touch on her lips, blushed, her heart racing.
Stinky Feng⦠is quite caring, after all!
âAll clean now,â Yi Feng smiled.
âHehe, Stinky Feng, youâre really nice!â
Saying this, Gu Muxi tiptoed, turned her head, and kissed his cheek.
