Chapter 23: Chapter 21.2

In Gu Muxi’s pure white school uniform, there was a hint of pink…

Ah, too glaring…

Yi Feng suddenly felt an urge to tug at it…

However, reason told him not to, lest Gu Muxi get angry.

Yi Feng twirled his pen, intentionally dropping it on the ground in front of him.

“Clap~”

The pen fell at Gu Muxi’s feet.

“Gu Muxi, my pen dropped.”

Gu Muxi bent down to pick it up for him, without turning back, and handed it to him.

“Thanks.”

A few minutes later.

“Clap~”

Yi Feng’s pen dropped to the ground again, right by her feet.

“Gu Muxi, my pen dropped again.”

Gu Muxi, sounding annoyed, picked it up for him again.

A few minutes passed.

“Clap~”

“Gu Muxi… my pen.”

Gu Muxi bent down to pick it up, then turned around and glared at him, “If you can’t twirl a pen, then don’t, okay?”

“Big ambition but little skill, huh?”

“Here!”

Yi Feng, smiling, took the pen, “Thanks, haha.”

A few minutes later.

“Clap~”

The pen dropped to the ground again.

“Gu Muxi…”

Gu Muxi picked up the pen, turned back, and snorted, “Want it? Not giving it to you!”

With that, she immediately confiscated the pen, putting it into her own pencil case.

Wang Tie, scratching his head innocently, whispered, “Brother Feng, she confiscated your pen!”

Yi Feng chuckled, “Yeah, let her use it.”

“Aren’t you going to ask for it back?” Wang Tie asked innocently.

“Why ask for it back? It’s for her, so she doesn’t have to buy a pen,” Yi Feng whispered.

Wang Tie, somewhat understanding, suddenly realized something, and gave a thumbs up, “You can do that? Nice one, brother Feng!”

“By the way, Brother Feng, I went to Boss Zhao’s place this morning, and he has two computers that need fixing.”

Yi Feng nodded, casually responding, “Okay, we’ll go there after school.”

“Tie, from now on, make a trip every morning to see if there’s any work.”

“You run errands for me. But don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you.”

Wang Tie nodded vigorously, “Sure, no problem!”

“Hehe, last time I brought money home to my mom, she even praised me for being capable!”

Yi Feng patted his shoulder, earnestly saying, “Wang Tie, do you trust me?”

“Of course!” Wang Tie responded without hesitation.

“We’re going to do big things in the future. You work for me, and there’ll be endless money to earn, big houses to live in!” Yi Feng declared solemnly.

“Once we’ve made enough at Zhao Xingye’s place, we’ll start our own computer repair shop and also deal in computer parts. Computer components can earn a lot of money!”

“Wang Tie, you’re my most trusted brother. Only you can help me with this. I don’t trust anyone else.”

Wang Tie, moved, his eyes reddening, said, “Brother Feng, I’m with you. Whatever you say, I’ll do!”

Yi Feng smiled, patted his shoulder, “With you saying that, I’m relieved.”

Wang Tie is his brother, a true friend, but also a pitiable person. His family situation was bleak, burdened by a father who was a drunkard and gambler, constantly pressuring them for money.

No matter what, he had to help him, to remove this mountain from his back.

“That, that Yi Feng, what are you two talking about so intensely?”

“Stand up and answer a question!”

Suddenly, Teacher Mo called from the podium. In an instant, all eyes in the class were on Yi Feng.

Yi Feng was caught by the teacher again!

Yi Feng laughed nervously and stood up, “Teacher, what’s the question?”

“Just now, I was talking about the Three Kingdoms, the story of the Three Visits to a Thatched Cottage. Tell us, after Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times and finally persuaded him, what did Liu Bei say to Zhuge Liang?”

Yi Feng was stunned, how would I know what ancient people said?

“Part 58…”

Gu Muxi’s voice faintly reached him.

“No talking, other students. Answer now!” Teacher Mo said sternly.

Yi Feng scratched his head, unable to think of anything, so he said, “Could it be… Liu Bei said they no longer needed a fourth for mahjong?”

Gu Muxi: “……”

Teacher Mo: “……”

The entire class: “……”
