NOVEL SIMPLE
Chapter 97
Gu Muxi looked confusedly at everyone; she had been so focused on the food that she hadn’t paid attention to their conversation.
“Uh, Dad, what’s up?” Gu Muxi turned to her father, Gu Xingzhong.
Li Wan shook her head and laughed helplessly, “Xixi, you should eat slowly. Anyone seeing you eat like that would think I starved you for days.”
“Ah, Sister Wan, it’s a blessing that Xixi can eat so well,” Meng Xiaoyun said contentedly.
Gu Muxi immediately felt a bit embarrassed. She had been so engrossed in eating that she forgot herself. She quickly put down her bowl and then picked up her food with chopsticks, chewing slowly, instantly transforming into the picture of a graceful lady.
Yi Feng watched her pretend with a bit of discomfort and found it amusing.
This girl, pretending to be a lady, and doing it quite proficiently too!
The two families enjoyed a lunch full of laughter and conversation.
After the meal, since the college entrance exams were over and there was no need to revise, Gu Muxi and Yi Feng were tasked with washing the dishes.
Yi Feng was responsible for washing with dish soap, while Gu Muxi rinsed them with clean water.
“Stinky Feng, don’t you need to go to the store today?” Gu Muxi asked casually. “I’ll have to head over later; there’s been a lot going on recently, lots of computers to fix,” Yi Feng replied as he washed the dishes.
“What, Miss Gu can’t bear to part with me?”
Gu Muxi’s cheeks turned red, and she retorted, “Stinky Feng, you’re so full of yourself!”
“Do you believe I can roll you into a ball and throw you out?”
Yi Feng stopped what he was doing and sneered, “I don’t believe you would, how could you bear to?”
“Heh!”
Gu Muxi scoffed in disdain, then suddenly pulled out her hands and wrapped them around his neck, using the move of a death cross lock!
Yi Feng didn’t expect her to strike suddenly and hurriedly shouted, “Stop, stop, let go!”
“This is unfair, you woman, violating the martial ethics by launching a sneak attack on this handsome and debonair of a guy!”
“Let go of me if you dare!”
Gu Muxi released her grip, lifting her chin, “Stinky Feng, can’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”
“Bring it on if you’ve got any moves!”
Yi Feng chuckled, “Watch out for my lightning five combo!”
As soon as he spoke, he flicked the soap suds from his hands at Gu Muxi, splattering her face.
“Ah! You jerk!”
Gu Muxi frantically wiped the sticky substance off her face, gritting her teeth in anger, about to grab him with both hands.
“Auntie, do we have any more dishcloths?!”
Yi Feng suddenly shouted.
“Yes, I’ll find one for you,” Li Wan’s voice came through.
Gu Muxi glared.
Damn it, Stinky Feng, don’t be too shameless!
Li Wan came into the kitchen, handed Yi Feng a new dishcloth, and glanced at Gu Muxi, who looked upset.
“Xixi, what are you standing there for, hurry up and wash.”
“As the saying goes, men and women working together makes the work easier, cooperate well with little Feng.”
Gu Muxi pouted, “Okay, Mom, I know…”
After Li Wan left, Gu Muxi raised her hand to pinch Yi Feng.
Yi Feng kept retreating to avoid her, laughing, “Gu Muxi, you dare, I’ll shout, huh!”
Gu Muxi tugged at the corner of her mouth, suddenly realizing Stinky Feng was becoming more and more shameless!
“Hmph~ I’ll remember this for next time, then get back at you.” Gu Muxi glared at him and continued with the work.
“Gu Muxi, how do you feel about your recent internship?”
“Not bad, although there’s no salary, I’ve learned a lot.”
“What did you learn?”
“Drawing diagrams, it feels quite complicated.”
“The path you chose, no matter how difficult, you have to see it through.”
“Hmph, don’t underestimate me, I’ll design the tallest building in the country one day!”
“To realize your dream, I’ll reluctantly be your client!”
“Cut it out, Yi Feng, it’s still daylight, stop dreaming. Do you know how much it costs to build a skyscraper?”
“Of course, I do.”
“Cut it, you have no idea.”
The two chatted idly while finishing up the dishes.
After the work was done, Yi Feng and Gu Muxi returned to their room to rest.
Being in the living room meant being subject to endless questioning, lectures, and moral lessons from the parents, better to hide in the room for some peace and quiet.
Gu Muxi sat in a chair, hugging a pink pig, her smooth legs dangling in the air.
Yi Feng rested at the head of her bed, the room filled with Gu Muxi’s scent.
“Gu Muxi, do you have nail clippers?” Yi Feng stretched and asked casually.
Gu Muxi, who had just opened her laptop, knew what he was up to.
“Hmph, Stinky Feng, don’t even think about making me cut your nails again, I won’t do it!”
Yi Feng was somewhat surprised, “Hey, how did you know? Are you the worm in my stomach?”
“Hehe, Yi Feng, if you can’t make a proper comparison, then don’t. You’re the worm! Plus, I know your little tricks. You can’t hide anything from me,” Gu Muxi said proudly.
Yi Feng then turned around, lay on the bed, and stuck out his butt, “Guess what I want to do now?”
Gu Muxi: “……”
“I’m too lazy to deal with you, I’m going online.”
“Hmm? Why is my computer frozen? Did it crash?”
Gu Muxi looked at her computer screen in astonishment, pressing keys and moving the mouse with no response.
“Let me have a look.” Yi Feng got up to check the situation.
It really had crashed, completely unresponsive.
This computer, acquired from an internet café, had average specs, and adding a bit more desktop applications would freeze it like a slideshow.
And since she didn’t know how to optimize the system disk, it was likely a memory overload.
“Yi Feng, what’s going on? Is it broken?”
“I’ve noticed it’s been getting slower recently!” Gu Muxi said with a helpless look.
Yi Feng chuckled, “It’s a bit of a problem, but it can still be fixed.”
“But I can’t work for free, can I?”
Gu Muxi turned to look at him, seeing his smug expression, wondering what mischief he was up to this time.
“Stinky Feng, you’re using this to bargain with me? Have you forgotten who brings you lunch every day?”
Yi Feng said earnestly, “One thing at a time.”
“Hehe, Miss Gu, you wouldn’t want your computer to stay broken, right?”
