Chapter 36.1
Yi Feng pondered for a moment, feeling that this was the only option for now.
He would return home to change clothes and go to school after his parents went to work the next day.
“Wang Tie, it’s late, you go back and rest first, see you at school tomorrow,” Yi Feng waved his hand.
“Alright, brother Feng, you should also go to bed early, I saw you drank at least half a kilo of alcohol!”
“I’m leaving now, see you tomorrow!” Wang Tie rode his bicycle away.
Now, even the mention of “alcohol” made Yi Feng feel a bit headache and dizzy.
The fifty-two-degree baijiu he drank earlier wasn’t a kilo, but it was at least 400 grams. Initially, the cool breeze made him feel less drunk, but once he got home, the alcohol’s aftereffects kicked in.
If it weren’t for two bottles of pure milk, he might have already collapsed on the road.
If the aftereffects were too strong at night, he probably wouldn’t be able to go to school the next day, and he could only ask Gu Muxi to help him ask for leave.
Yi Feng patted his drowsy head, trying to sober up a bit.
He tiptoed up the stairs, not wanting to wake his parents.
Arriving at Gu Muxi’s door, Yi Feng knocked gently.
“Who is it?” Gu Muxi’s voice came from inside, sounding a bit wary.
“Gu Muxi, it’s me,” Yi Feng responded in a low voice.
“Yi Feng?”
Footsteps came from inside, and the door opened.
Gu Muxi appeared at the door in a loose long skirt pajama, her black hair draped loosely, some of it falling on her snowy shoulders.
The thin straps of her sleep dress and her sexy collarbone complemented each other, catching the eye.
Her beautiful face looked a bit lazy and sleepy, and her milk-white skin seemed to glow.
Seeing her appearance, she was probably ready to go to bed, but Yi Feng had called her out.
The first time Yi Feng saw her, he was amazed by her.
“Hmm? Yi Feng, where have you been messing around? Why do you smell so strongly of smoke and alcohol? Did you drink? And smoked?”
“It’s really suffocating me!” Gu Muxi covered her nose and mouth, expressing her disgust.
Yi Feng looked back at his home’s door, seeing no movement, but he also didn’t want to talk at the door, so he said, “Let’s go inside and talk, go inside and talk!”
Yi Feng grabbed her shoulders and pushed her inside.
Once inside Gu Muxi’s home, Yi Feng felt the aftereffects coming on, collapsing on the sofa to rest.
“Stinky Yi Feng, where have you been tonight? Why did you drink so much? Are you drunk?”
“Really, how old are you, don’t you know how to drink in moderation?”
“Did you smoke too?”
“Really, you’re such a worry!”
Yi Feng, with his eyes slightly closed, listening to Gu Muxi’s somewhat complaining and nagging voice, suddenly felt very happy.
Being drunk and listening to the woman of the house nagging is indeed a happy thing!
It means that you are not a lonely person, there is a girl in the world who cares about you.
“Ah, it’s nothing much, just had dinner with the boss of the computer store, talked about some business.” Yi Feng held his forehead, his vision starting to blur.
“Oh, so the great Yi has gone to talk business? Really moving up in the world!”
Gu Muxi didn’t believe him, but he was already somewhat drunk, with bleary eyes, too lazy to argue with him.
“This stinky guy is definitely drunk, let’s wipe his face first.”
Gu Muxi talked to herself, turning to head to the bathroom.
There were no extra towels in the bathroom, Gu Muxi pouted, she could only use her own towel.
When stinky Yi Feng wakes up, he must buy me a new towel!
Gu Muxi filled half a basin with cold water, then added boiling water from the kettle, testing the temperature with her finger.
Feeling the temperature was right, she soaked the towel, then wrung it out.
Turning back, she saw Yi Feng half-squinting, seemingly asleep and slumped on the sofa, his head tilted to one side.
“Hmph, serves you right for drinking so much!”
Gu Muxi puffed up her cheeks in anger.
“I’m just too kind-hearted, anyone else would have thrown you out by now!”
She continued to mutter to herself as she sat down next to Yi Feng, carefully wiping his face.
“Gu Muxi…”
Yi Feng felt the warm towel on his face, carrying a unique fragrance, which was Gu Muxi’s scent.
He slowly opened his eyes, Gu Muxi’s face gradually becoming clear.
“What is it, if you weren’t drunk, I wouldn’t bother taking care of you,” Gu Muxi said proudly.
Yi Feng smiled upon hearing this, looking through the towel at her sparkling eyes and long, fluttering eyelashes.
That focused, meticulous expression warmed his heart.
Sometimes Gu Muxi is really a tsundere with a soft heart.
Really cute.
“Thanks, ha.” Yi Feng expressed his gratitude.
After wiping his face dry, Gu Muxi glanced at him, “Just thanks is enough?”
“Tomorrow treat me to old-fashioned popsicles, two!”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t make up for my care tonight.”
Yi Feng grinned, “Hehe, no problem, as many as you want, lick to your heart’s content.”
“Here, you said it, I’ll remember it, don’t try to weasel out of it when you sober up.” Gu Muxi stood up to wash the towel again, then sat next to him once more.
A faint fragrance hit him, Yi Feng sniffed, feeling refreshed, but it also made his heart itch.
Why does Gu Muxi always smell so good?
Really incomprehensible.
But he could remember this scent for a lifetime; as long as it was this fragrance, it was definitely Gu Muxi.
Yi Feng felt the drunkenness overpower him, his eyelids heavy, about to fall asleep.
“Don’t drink so much next time, getting drunk like this is bad for your health.” Gu Muxi nagged, helping him wipe his hands.
Hearing no response from Yi Feng, Gu Muxi secretly looked up at him and saw that his eyes were closed, seemingly asleep.
“Really, asleep just like that?” Gu Muxi was stunned.
Gu Muxi pushed Yi Feng, thinking to have him take a bath before sleeping, but it seemed he was too drunk to manage a bath.
“This stinky guy, just planning to sleep like this? Really stinks to death!” She twisted her nose in disgust.
Her sense of smell was very sensitive, especially to the smell of smoke and alcohol, feeling that the mixed scent was very foul.
Her father, Gu Xingzhong, also came back smelling of smoke and alcohol from social gatherings, and she would avoid him from afar.
Only her mother didn’t mind, nagging all night, helping him undress, wipe down, and get him into bed.
Gu Muxi glanced at Yi Feng.
Well, let this stinky guy sleep on the living room sofa then.
She went to wash the towel, then dumped out the water, and went back to lay Yi Feng down on the sofa properly.
But as she looked down, she saw stains on Yi Feng’s clothes, which bothered her slight OCD.
“Eating until you get food on your clothes? Really!” Gu Muxi puffed up her cheeks, huffing in annoyance.
Thinking to just ignore it, but she kept thinking about it, if she didn’t remove the stains, it would bother her all night.
