Chapter 23.1

This meal was so delicious, yet Yi Feng ate with such gloom.

After the meal, Gu Muxi helped wash the dishes and wipe the table, then sweetly said goodbye to Meng Xiaoyun.

“Aunty, I’m going home to study now!”

“Good child, go ahead,” Meng Xiaoyun said warmly.

“Aunty, Uncle, goodbye.” Gu Muxi waved and turned to leave.

Yi Feng, having filled his stomach, was sprawled on the couch watching TV when Meng Xiaoyun kicked him.

“Go, study with Xixi. The college entrance exam is coming, and you’re still watching TV?”

“What if you don’t do well? What will you do then?”

Yi Feng laughed helplessly, “Alright, alright, Mom, I’m going to study with her now.”

He went back to his room to grab his backpack and headed to Gu Muxi’s house next door.

As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Muxi undressing.

Gu Muxi, halfway through undressing, suddenly saw Yi Feng barge in and was instantly stunned!

“Ah! Stinky Yi Feng!”

Gu Muxi quickly stopped undressing and covered her chest, glaring at him.

“Cough cough, I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t see anything, really,” Yi Feng said earnestly.

“You, why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Gu Muxi, having adjusted her clothes, asked indignantly with a blushing face.

“I, I just did it subconsciously, out of habit...”

“Hey, don’t just blame me, why are you changing clothes here?”

“You have some responsibility too!” Yi Feng argued.

“My parents aren’t home. Where I change shouldn’t matter, huh!” Gu Muxi dashed into her room to change clothes.

Back in her room, Gu Muxi’s heart raced against the door.

Damn it!

Did stinky Yi Feng see anything?!

That jerk!

Her cheeks burned at the thought.

The embarrassment if Yi Feng had seen...

Always taking advantage of me, huh!

She glanced down at her chest and suddenly thought.

Did he think it was a bit small...

After a while, she emerged at the room’s door in a set of loose home clothes.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

The loose white long-sleeve cotton shirt and sports pants should be comfortable, but the combination felt odd.

“I think you’re more of a Bullshit Master! Haha!”

Yi Feng laughed lightly, with an air of mystery, “If you don’t believe me, let me read your palm.”

“Really? Show me.” Gu Muxi stretched out her fair right hand.

Her skin was snowy, with a delicate pink undertone.

Yi Feng’s heart stirred as he took her hand in his.

This touch, her hand was soft and boneless, smooth and tender, very comfortable to hold.

He squinted, his palm moving back and forth over her palm.

After a while, Gu Muxi impatiently asked, “Hey, stinky Yi Feng, can you actually read palms?”

“Shh, quiet, I was just carefully feeling the direction of your palm lines,” Yi Feng said solemnly.

“Did you find any clues?” Gu Muxi asked curiously.

“I discovered something very important missing in your life!”

“Ah? What’s missing? Wood? Or water?”

“You’re missing me in your life!”

“???”

Gu Muxi was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

Yi Feng’s face was serious, not seeming like a joke.

“Thump!”

Gu Muxi, blushing, raised her hand and gave him a head bump!

“Ow~ It hurts!”

“Why did you hit me?” Yi Feng covered his head and yelled.

“For making fun of me again!”

“And missing you in my life?”

“If I’m missing a jerk like you, isn’t that just perfect?!”

“Then I’ll be worry-free for life!”

“Dare to take advantage of me? Watch out for my deadly cross-lock!”

Gu Muxi grabbed him and dragged him to the bed.

Yi Feng struggled desperately, refusing to give in.

“Help! Murder!”

Gu Muxi pinned him down, smugly laughing, “Scream all you want, even if you scream your throat out, no one can save you!”

“My throat! My throat!”

Gu Muxi: “......”
