Chapter 107

After getting drunk, Yi Feng unknowingly fell asleep on Gu Muxi’s bed and slept until he naturally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it had started to rain outside.

Guessing from the sky, it was probably not early anymore.

Yi Feng muttered to himself, rubbing his sore head, and sat up to look at the wall clock. It was already 11 in the morning.

“Wow, I’ve slept for so long!”

“No wonder I woke up once in the middle... It turns out I had two sleeps.”

Yi Feng talked to himself, shaking his head to make himself more awake.

No help for it, Gu Muxi’s bed was just too comfortable.

He got up and left the room, seeing Gu Muxi lying on the couch. She was wearing black shorts and a white T-shirt, her long and smooth legs particularly eye-catching.

“Good morning, Gu Muxi!” Yi Feng chuckled, greeting her.

“Morning? Still morning? It’s almost 12 noon!”

“And, about last night, you took over my bed, what do you have to say?”

“I had to sleep on the couch all night!” Gu Muxi bared her teeth and huffed.

Yi Feng scratched his head, laughing, “Hey, what can I say? It’s not like I took over you, just your bed.”

“How about... I make a sacrifice, offering myself in exchange? How’s that?”

Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him, disdainfully saying, “Hmph~ Who wants your body?”

“Selling it wouldn’t make much meat.”

“Hey hey, Gu Muxi, don’t underestimate me, huh? Don’t look at my small build, but I have a lot of energy!” Yi Feng raised his right hand, showing off his pitiful bit of muscle.

“Pfft~”

Gu Muxi laughed, sarcastically saying, “Alright, Yi Feng, keep your little muscles to yourself.”

Yi Feng’s face showed embarrassment, quickly changing the subject, “Gu Muxi, do you have breakfast? I’m hungry.”

“My mom specially made meat porridge for you and left some boiled eggs for you. All I had this morning was plain porridge and pickles!” Gu Muxi pouted, quite unhappy with her mother’s preferential treatment.

Mom, I’m your biological daughter!

Why are you so nice to Stinky Feng!

Yi Feng chuckled, “Auntie is really nice to me, thank you!”

Yi Feng hummed a tune and ran to the kitchen to find something to eat.

“So you’re Yi Feng, this year’s top scorer of Guangdong province! Truly impressive!” The middle-aged woman greeted him with a warm smile, full of praise.

“Come in, come in.”

Yi Feng modestly said, “Hi, aunty, you flatter me. I was just a bit lucky.”

“This is a little gift for you, please accept it.”

The middle-aged woman chuckled, “Why bring gifts? Really, it’s not necessary.”

Yi Feng entered, set down the gifts, and laughed, “What kind of student would I be if I didn’t bring gifts on my first visit to a teacher’s home? If my parents knew, they would scold me to death!”

“Besides, you’re a respected elder, aunty. It’s only right for a student to bring a gift.”

With those words, Yi Feng positioned their relationship closer, like that of a student and a respected elder.

The middle-aged woman, moved by Yi Feng’s gesture, said with a warmer smile, “Well then, I’ll accept it.”

“Old Huang, Little Feng is here!”

She called into the house, using the familiar term “Little Feng,” showing closeness.

Huang He emerged from a room, smiling at Yi Feng, “Come, Little Feng, didn’t you want to try my tea? Let’s go to the tea room and have some tea first. We’ll eat once the dishes are ready.”

“Haha, I’ve been looking forward to trying Teacher Huang’s tea for a long time, so I’ll gladly accept!” Yi Feng responded with a laugh.

“You guys go ahead and have tea. I’ll go cook and call you when it’s ready.” The middle-aged woman looked at Yi Feng cheerfully, her eyes full of admiration.

“It’s really kind of you.” Yi Feng nodded, then headed to the room indicated by Huang He.

Opening the door, he found a spacious tea room, decorated in an antique style, with a mahogany tea table that looked quite imposing.

Huang He was just a regular teacher, yet Yi Feng was surprised to see such an expensive tea table, worth almost ten thousand yuan.

“Come on, Little Feng, take a seat. Today, you’ll taste my collection of aged Pu’erh. I bought this tea cake a couple of years ago on a business trip to Yunnan province, in a tea factory in Pu’erh city. It’s top-grade tea, exclusively supplied, something ordinary people can’t taste.” Huang He invited warmly, then took out an aged tea cake from a canister behind him.

Yi Feng smiled warmly, but his mind was analyzing the underlying meaning of Huang He’s words.

Ordinary people might just listen and move on.

But Yi Feng, well-versed in the subtleties of business talk, knew some statements weren’t made without reason.

This crafty old fox subtly hinted at his wide network of contacts, not bragging but implying as much.

Dealing with this sly old fox required extra caution.
