Chapter 182
Gu Muxi glared, astonished, “Stinky Feng, isn’t that an overreaction? I just wanted to eat a couple pieces of your chicken, was such a big reaction necessary?”
“Cough cough, Little Xixi, let’s talk about chicken and not bars, civilized you, me, him, ha!” Yi Feng quickly wiped his mouth, then tidied up the table.
Gu Muxi scratched her head, puzzled, “Talk about chicken and bars, what’s uncivilized about that? Really!”
“Just remember it, come on, I’ll give you the chicken pieces. I’m full, can’t eat anymore.” Yi Feng transferred some chicken pieces into her bowl.
“Ha ha, thanks Stinky Feng!”
Gu Muxi happily pecked him on the cheek.
Yi Feng chuckled, “I’ll give you two more pieces, how about another kiss?”
Gu Muxi’s cheeks flushed, she spat, “Humph~ Dream on, I won’t!”
Stinky Feng’s skin is really getting thicker!
Isn’t he embarrassed?
Right, his skin is probably too thick for even missiles to penetrate.
“Stinky Feng, I’m a bit thirsty, wait here for me. I’ll go buy two bottles of drink. Do you want Jienlibao?” she stood up and asked.
“Wow, Little Xixi is so proactive for once, then I’ll have a bottle of Jienlibao,” Yi Feng laughed.
“Humph~ I do have some pocket money, okay? I’ll go buy it. You wait here for me.” Gu Muxi said, bouncing out of the store.
Yi Feng looked around the old store, finding such old Cantonese arcade stores quite charming. They were enduring, and the old clock covered in cobwebs, taped to the wall with transparent tape, the worn-out painting of the sun rising over mountains, and the tables and chairs shining with grease, checkerboard tiles.
And yes, the flip-flops worn by the middle-aged owner, occasionally making a flapping sound as he walked.
The entire ambiance was a blast of old Canton nostalgia, making one feel familiar and nostalgic.
Suddenly, Yi Feng noticed an empty spot in the corner, where a silver Walkman was placed on a chair.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
Hmm? Who left their Walkman behind after eating?
Yi Feng stood up, picked up the Walkman, and opened it to find a Sun Yanzi cassette inside.
He looked around, only three tables of customers were left in the store.
Just then, the middle-aged male owner happened to pass by, and Yi Feng said, “Boss, it seems someone left their Walkman here. You keep it for now, in case they come back for it.”
The middle-aged owner, carrying a bucket of chicken soup, didn’t turn his head, “Okay, just leave it there for now. I can’t hold it at the moment.”
Yi Feng shook his head, smiling, and was about to place it properly at the cashier.
“Classmate, classmate, hello, that seems to be my Walkman...”
When did she change?
Yi Feng’s mind raced with countless thoughts, emotions overwhelming him, his eyes reddened, tears shimmering.
“Why did you change...” he stared at her, murmuring, his voice low and hoarse.
“Ah? Classmate, what did you say? I changed? Do you know me?” Lu Yao tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
She felt the emotions of the male student in front of her were quite wrong.
As if... he was deeply saddened, a sadness that tugged at the heartstrings.
She suddenly felt the urge to lend him her shoulder to lean on.
But reason told her not to do so.
Still, she was puzzled, why did this male classmate become like this upon seeing her.
“Classmate, are you okay?” Lu Yao asked with concern.
Yi Feng was startled, then coldly said, “I’m fine, you can go.”
It was time to let go.
To completely let go.
Once loved, once hated, but now, to each other, just strangers.
And will only ever be strangers.
Lu Yao, puzzled but still waved at him, saying goodbye, “Uh, okay, then classmate, I’ll go first.”
With that, Lu Yao turned and left, her floral dress blending into the crowd on the street.
Just then, Gu Muxi, carrying two bottles of drinks, brushed past her.
Gu Muxi, bouncing joyfully, ran up to Yi Feng, sweetly said, “Here, Stinky Feng, your Jienlibao. I asked for room temperature, I don’t want you to drink something cold in the morning!”
Yi Feng forced a smile, “It’s fine, room temperature is good.”
“By the way, who was that just now? A classmate of yours?” Gu Muxi turned to look in the direction of the street; she had seen Yi Feng talking to a girl when she came back.
Yi Feng shrugged, smiling, “Don’t know her, just a stranger.”
