âThank you, student Yi, for the interview. Thank you!â Yang Na regained her composure and smiled. Todayâs college entrance examination news material was secured, all thanks to Yi student.
âItâs nothing, donât mention it,â Yi Feng waved his hand.
After the interview, Yi Feng continued to wait under the shade for Gu Muxi and Wang Tie. As the exam ended, students flooded towards the school gate like a tide. Gu Muxi and Wang Tie gradually emerged.
âYi Feng!â Gu Muxi smiled sweetly, waving at Yi Feng and jogging over. Her youthful and beautiful figure attracted many glances.
âGu Muxi, how did you do on the Chinese exam?â Yi Feng approached and asked.
âI feel good about it, definitely better than math. My Chinese has always been strong!â Gu Muxi said proudly.
âConfidence is good, then the results shouldnât be far off,â Yi Feng nodded.
Gu Muxi giggled, then whispered, âI think I have a talent for Chinese. I wrote the essay super fast. I want to try writing novels when I go to college!â
âWrite novels? Thatâs a dead end!â Yi Feng exclaimed in surprise.
âHuh? Why do you say that?â Gu Muxi paused, puzzled.
âIf you donât write well, how can those handsome and suave male readers, those stunning female readers possibly buy your books?â
âIf you write well, they will try hard to reward you!â
âBut writing well is really hard,â Yi Feng said earnestly.
âReward? If I write novels, I definitely want to publish books, just like Grandpa Jin, no need for rewards!â Gu Muxi said ambitiously.
âBrother Feng, School Beauty Gu, what are you talking about? Arenât we going home to eat?â Wang Tie jogged over and asked in confusion.
Mentioning food made Yi Feng think of garlic oysters, and his stomach immediately growled.
âRight, right, letâs talk more at home. Come on, letâs go home for oysters!â Yi Feng waved and smiled.

After returning to the staff residential area and saying goodbye to Wang Tie, Yi Feng and Gu Muxi hurriedly parked their bikes and raced upstairs to Guâs home.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMom, weâre back!â Gu Muxi shouted as she entered.
Yi Feng followed closely behind, already smelling the aroma of garlic.
âIt smells so good!â Yi Fengâs mouth watered.
Li Wan brought out a plate of oysters, smiling, âGo wash your hands. Your dad will be back soon, and weâll eat together.â
âYay~â Gu Muxi cheered and was the first to run into the bathroom.
Yi Feng followed, and the two shared a sink to wash their hands.
Gu Muxi, finding her water flow pushed aside, glared at Yi Feng, âLet me wash first!â
âWhy not wash together? Whatâs the big deal?â
âNo, itâs too crowded!â
âSqueeze a bit, and there will always be space.â
âNo, you took my spot!â
âGu Muxi, pass me the soap.â
âNo!â
âThen Iâll just have to rub off yours!â
Yi Feng suddenly grabbed Gu Muxiâs hands, her hands covered in soap, slippery.
So slippery! Gu Muxiâs face flushed, trying to break free, but Yi Feng firmly grasped her hands, rubbing them in his.
Damn it! Stinky Yi Feng bullying me again!
âStinky Yi Feng, let go of me!â Gu Muxi glared at him, face flushed.
âAh, now my hands are soapy too, hehe.â Yi Feng proudly showed her his hands, all soapy from Gu Muxiâs.
Gu Muxiâs eyes darted, and she smeared foam on Yi Fengâs nose, covering it in bubbles.
âHa ha! You wanted it, right? Iâll give you more!â Gu Muxi laughed triumphantly.
Yi Feng wiped his nose, âAlright then, war it is!â
âGu Muxi, take this!â Yi Fengâs hands covered in foam reached for Gu Muxiâs face.
Gu Muxi dodged frantically, in a panic.
Suddenly, she slipped, about to fall into the bathroom!
Yi Feng, quick as lightning, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back into his embrace.
All happened in a flash; Gu Muxi didnât even have time to react.
By the time she realized it, she was already in Yi Fengâs arms.
For a moment, both of them froze.
âAre you okay?â Yi Feng chuckled lowly.
Gu Muxi felt her cheeks burning, her heart racing.
âNo, no problem, stinky Yi Feng, have you hugged enough?â
Yi Feng chuckled, âNot yet.â
Gu Muxi looked up, glared at him, and stomped down.
âOw!!â
âGu Muxi, youâre biting the hand that feeds you!â
Yi Feng clutched his foot, grimacing in pain.
âNa na na~â Gu Muxi made a face at him.
âWhat are you doing inside? Are you done washing?â Li Wanâs voice came from outside.
âMom, Iâm done!â Gu Muxi called out cheerfully and dashed out.
Yi Feng shook his head with a wry smile; this girl was indeed fierce.
He washed his hands clean, sat at the dining table with Gu Muxi, and they all had dinner together as Gu Xingzhong arrived. Eating at the Guâs place felt just like home for Yi Feng, without any restraint.
A plate of garlic oysters was almost entirely devoured by him and Gu Muxi.
Competing for food was always part of their daily life.
After dinner and a short rest, it was 8 PM. Gu Xingzhong turned on the TV to watch the news, just in time for the âNews Truthâ program.
âDear viewers, letâs take a look at how our students fared todayâ¦â
The screen switched to Yi Fengâs interview.
Gu Muxi, seeing Yi Feng on screen, exclaimed, âYi Feng, youâre on TV!â
Yi Feng just smiled; being on TV was nothing new to him.
Following were interviews with other students and Gu Muxi. Compared to Yi Feng, their answers were standard, highlighting Yi Fengâs confident and quirky response.
âAnd now, another question. With all todayâs subjects finished, what does student Yi plan to do after going home?â
âOf course, go home to eat. Weâre having garlic oysters tonight!â
â¦
âHa!â Gu Muxi couldnât help but burst out laughing at Yi Fengâs answer.
âOh my! Yi Feng, your answer is really something else!â
âItâs over, after the program airs, Yi Feng, youâre going to be famous!â
