Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Yi Feng touched his cheek in astonishment, not expecting Gu Muxi to be so proactive, and immediately felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey inside.

“Alright, Gu Muxi, you’re not playing fair, launching a surprise attack on this young handsome guy!”

“Watch me retaliate with a lightning five kisses!”

Yi Feng puckered his lips, intending to kiss her back.

“Haha! I won’t let you kiss me, try try try~” Gu Muxi, with her cheeks flushed, dodged and made a face at him.

“Hehe, you can’t escape from the palm of my hand!” Yi Feng, turning into a big grey wolf, pounced towards her.

But Gu Muxi dodged, grabbed his hand, twisted it behind him, and perfectly restrained him.

“Hmph~ Stinky Feng, I won’t let you kiss me. There are so many people watching.” Gu Muxi glanced at the pedestrians with a shy look in her eyes.

Passersby occasionally glanced at them.

Yi Feng grinned cheekily, “Hehe, then when we go back, we’ll find a quiet corner where no one’s around. That should be fine, right?”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks turned even redder, spreading to the base of her neck, and she glared at him.

How could Stinky Feng be so forward?

He’s really terrible~

“Look, Gu Muxi, if you don’t speak up, I’ll take it as your agreement!”

“Hmph~ I, I… I won’t talk to you, we’ll talk about it when we get back!”

“Hehe, I understand, I get it.”

“Uh… Stinky Feng, you understand nothing, I… I want ice cream!”

“No problem, sure thing. I also feel like eating. Xixi, do you want an old-fashioned ice pop?”

“I want two!”

When it came to food, they would automatically call a truce.

Gu Muxi, arm in arm with Yi Feng, continued their food tour.

They almost tried every snack and only bought one of each so they could share and manage to eat so much.

When they reached the end of the street, there was a small leisure square in front of a shopping mall, with ice cream and old-fashioned ice pops right next to it.

“Here’s ice cream and old-fashioned ice pops!” Gu Muxi happily pulled Yi Feng towards it.

At the store front, she turned to Yi Feng and asked, “Stinky Feng, do you want some?”

“Burp~ I’m full, I’ll pass. You enjoy it.” Yi Feng burped, smiling helplessly.

The feast from noon had not yet digested, and they had eaten so much in the evening. Eating more would be overdoing it.

“Alright~ Then you can only watch me eat.” Gu Muxi said triumphantly.

“Boss, one ice cream and one ice pop, please!”

The shopkeeper, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and dressed in a layman’s robe, looked a bit artsy.

“Okay, miss, just a moment.” The middle-aged boss smiled slightly and turned to prepare her ice cream.

After serving the ice cream, he handed her an old-fashioned ice pop.

“Young man and lady, our shop is right next door. If you’re tired from walking, you can rest for a while.” The middle-aged boss kindly said.

Indeed, there were five sun umbrellas next to the shop with seating underneath.

“Thank you, boss.” Yi Feng nodded with a smile, then paid.

They found a seat near the roadside to rest. Gu Muxi was devouring her ice cream, and soon her lips were adorned with white ice cream, looking like a little white mustache.

Yi Feng, feeling moved, beckoned Gu Muxi to come closer with a hook of his finger.

“What, Stinky Feng?” Gu Muxi, obedient, moved her head closer, puzzled and unaware of Yi Feng’s intentions.

Yi Feng grasped her chin, his face slowly moving closer.

Suddenly, he planted a kiss on her lips.

“Uh?!!”

Gu Muxi, caught off guard by the kiss, widened her eyes in shock, her cheeks instantly turning apple red.

Holding an ice cream in one hand and an ice popsicle in the other, she froze, unsure how to react.

This scene was witnessed by the middle-aged shopkeeper, who squinted his eyes, revealing an auntie’s smile.

“Young love… is wonderful…”

Passersby cast envious glances their way.

After a few seconds, Yi Feng released her, smacking his lips and chuckling, “The taste of ice cream is really sweet.”

Gu Muxi felt her cheeks burning, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out.

She glared at him, “You’re terrible! Stinky Feng, you… with so many people around!”

“Hey, Xixi, now we’re even, huh!” Yi Feng shamelessly said.

Gu Muxi bit off a large chunk of her ice cream, as if biting into him, and huffed, “Hmph~ wait and see, I’ll get you back when we return.”

“What, you’re planning a counterattack? Well, I’ll counterattack right back now.” Yi Feng cheekily said, puckering his lips again.

But the next moment, what met his lips was the cold, biting sensation of ice cream!

Now, it was Yi Feng’s turn to have a mouthful of ice cream, looking like a white mustache.

“Ha ha! You look so funny!” Gu Muxi laughed heartily, her clear laughter echoing in the night air like summer wind chimes.

“Gu Muxi, I’m going to smear it on your face!” Yi Feng feigned anger.

As they were playing, a guitar sound suddenly filled the air.

Both instinctively looked over to see the shopkeeper sitting at the store front, legs crossed, seemingly tuning his guitar.

However, he frowned slightly, as if two notes were off and couldn’t be harmonized.

“Ah, the guitar is acting up again…” The middle-aged shopkeeper sighed, shaking his head with a wry smile.

“Boss, it seems like the second and third strings are the problem. Can I give it a try?” Yi Feng smiled at him.

“Uh? Young man, you know how to tune a guitar?” The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at him in surprise.

“I learned a bit before.” Yi Feng replied.

“Really? Then I’ll leave this guitar to you to tune. It’s okay if you can’t get it right.” The middle-aged boss said, handing over the guitar to him.

Yi Feng carefully examined the guitar, plucked each string, listened intently to the pitch, and adjusted the tension of the strings.

“After tuning, it should be about right,” Yi Feng said with a smile.

He strummed the guitar, and all the notes were accurate, harmonizing beautifully.

“Wow, you really fixed it!” The middle-aged boss exclaimed in surprise.

“You’re really good, young man!” The middle-aged boss sincerely thanked him, giving Yi Feng a thumbs up.

Yi Feng tried the sound a few times, played some chords, then looking at Gu Muxi, who was curiously watching, felt inspired.

“Boss, may I borrow this to play a song?” Yi Feng asked with a smile.

“Of course, I also have a mic and speakers. I sing a few songs myself when I’m free. My life’s pleasure, aside from running this shop, is singing.” The middle-aged boss laughed heartily.

Shortly after, he brought out a stand mic, a speaker, and cables from behind the shop door, setting everything up next to Yi Feng.

“What song do you want to sing, Yi Feng? The one from last time?” Gu Muxi asked eagerly.

Ever since she heard Yi Feng sing by the lakeside during a camping trip, she often dreamt about that scene and his magnetic voice.

His singing seemed to possess a magical quality that lingered in her mind daily.

Yi Feng strummed the guitar, playing a light and easy tune, the melody alone making one feel sweet and relaxed.

“Not that one, a new song.”

“A very nice song.”

“Gu Muxi, Why Not, this is for you.”

Yi Feng sat in front of her, legs crossed, looking at her with an indulgent smile, gently plucking the guitar strings.

“The sky looks like it’s going to rain, I really want to live next door to you.”

“Standing dumbly under your apartment, looking up, counting the dark clouds.”

“If there’s a piano in the scene, I’ll sing for you, even if many pots of water pour down.”

Yi Feng’s magnetic voice began to sing, accompanied by a light and sweet melody, resonating along the busy street.

Passersby spontaneously stopped, drawn by the beautiful singing, and soon, a large crowd had gathered in front of the shop, packed tight.

“This song is so sweet!”

“Yeah, this guy sings really well!”

“Is he singing for his girlfriend? So pampering!”

…

The crowd whispered among themselves but soon fell silent, completely immersed in the music, swaying lightly to the upbeat rhythm.

Yi Feng was oblivious to the crowd behind him; his eyes were only for Gu Muxi, his world contained only her.

“Singing this song for you, it has no particular style.”

“It simply means, I want to make you happy.”

“To melt the ice for you, to be a moth to a flame for you.”

“Nothing is unworthy.”

“Singing this song for you, it has no particular style.”

“It simply means, I hope you’re happy.”

“To toss and turn for you, to give up the world for you, Why Not, with a bit of warmth in the cool of late summer and early autumn…”

Gu Muxi, listening to the song, couldn’t help but smile sweetly, foolishly happy and moved.

Unconsciously, tears welled up in her eyes.

These were tears of sweetness, tears of being moved.

Stinky Feng, it’s mean to make someone cry with a song!

Gu Muxi wiped away her tears, feeling incredibly sweet inside.

Stinky Feng sings so well!

Stinky Feng, I like you too!

I can also be a moth to a flame for you.

I can also give up the world for you.

“I hope you’re happy, to toss and turn for you, to give up the world for you, Why Not.

“In the cool of late summer and early autumn, with a hint of the colors of changing seasons…”

As the song ended, Yi Feng’s final guitar solo concluded, perfectly capping off the song.

The guitar sound gradually ceased, its catchy melody seemingly lingering in the ears of every listener.

After a moment of silence, the scene erupted into warm applause!
