Chapter 129
Gu Muxi’s cheeks flushed, and she pinched him on the waist.
“Stinky Feng, how dare you take advantage of me!”
“Ouch! Gu Muxi, go easy, you’re pulling my flesh off!”
“Why are you so slick with your words?”
“How can you say I’m slick? Have you tried? Don’t slander me!”
“Try your big head ghost!” Gu Muxi’s cheeks reddened even more, and she glared at him in annoyance, but Yi Feng was riding a bike and couldn’t see her cute expression.
“We can try at home if you like, I don’t mind, as long as you need! Hehe!” Yi Feng said with a mischievous smile.
Gu Muxi’s face turned as red as an apple, and she pinched him again, “Need your head! Ride your bike!”
Yi Feng yelped from the pinch.
This girl really has a violent streak in her!
But… I like it, hehe.
Gu Muxi is so charming!
…
When they arrived at the doorstep of their home, Gu Muxi opened the door and found no one inside.
“Eh, my parents aren’t home?” Gu Muxi turned and asked.
Yi Feng opened the door, looked inside, and smiled, “They’re at my place.”
Gu Muxi ran over and peeked inside, indeed finding her parents at Yi Feng’s place.
“Xixi, Little Feng is back.” Meng Xiaoyun came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.
“Hello, Auntie~” Gu Muxi greeted politely.
Meng Xiaoyun warmly said, “Xixi, don’t just stand at the door, come in. We’re eating here today.”
“Hehe, okay!” Gu Muxi entered, taking off her shoulder bag.
Meng Xiaoyun took her bag and turned to hand it to Yi Feng, “Little Feng, go put Xixi’s bag away.”
“Uh… Mom, she can do it herself!” Yi Feng said, tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Meng Xiaoyun glared at him, “Just go do it, why do you talk so much?”
Then she turned to Gu Muxi with a kind expression, “Xixi, you must be tired from the day, I’ve made chicken soup, your favorite coconut chicken!”
“Auntie is so nice~” Gu Muxi said sweetly, holding Meng Xiaoyun’s hand.
Yi Feng: “……”
Mom, you’re being too biased!
Meng Xiaoyun ignored Yi Feng’s resentful look, led Gu Muxi inside, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went back to cooking.
Yi Feng put away the bags and passed by Gu Muxi.
Gu Muxi proudly glanced at him.
“Yi Feng, don’t be gloomy. Auntie has always been nicer to me, hehe!” Gu Muxi said proudly, seeming to enjoy seeing Yi Feng’s deflated expression.
“Gu Muxi, look, there seems to be a UFO there!” Yi Feng pointed outside the window.
“Where?” Gu Muxi instinctively turned her head to look. Yi Feng sneakily pulled on her bra strap from behind.
“Snap!”
Elastic!
Gu Muxi realized she had been tricked, her face reddened, and she glared at him, “Damn you, stinky Feng!”
She pretended to hit him, and Yi Feng dashed towards the living room, shouting, “Uncle Gu, Auntie, hello!”
Li Wan saw Yi Feng and smiled, waving, “Little Feng is back, come, I bought some fruit, have some to whet your appetite.”
Seeing her parents there, Gu Muxi had to quickly restrain herself, her face turning red with anger.
Stinky Feng, you just wait!
“Alright!” Yi Feng replied, sitting next to Li Wan.
Gu Muxi pouted and sat on the other side of Li Wan.
“Mom, why did you come over for dinner today?” Gu Muxi asked curiously.
“Ah, we wanted to discuss something about the factory with Little Feng’s dad.”
“Our factory is undergoing restructuring and reform, and it looks like we might all be out of jobs,” Li Wan sighed.
“Ah? Wasn’t the decision supposed to be made in October?” Gu Muxi was startled.
“This… it’s a long story, partly because of the situation at Shanghai Steel, anyway, the economic outlook isn’t very optimistic right now,” Li Wan shook her head.
She then handed two apples to Gu Muxi, “Xixi, peel one with a fruit knife, have some fruit too.”
“Mom, one is enough for me, I don’t need two~” Gu Muxi smiled sweetly.
Li Wan rolled her eyes at her, “One is for Little Feng, you’re just helping to peel it.”
Gu Muxi: “……”
Mom, you’re actually making me do this for stinky Feng!
Li Wan turned to Yi Feng with a kind smile, “Little Feng, how’s the business at the store lately? Is work tough?”
Seeing Gu Muxi pouting as if she could hang an oil bottle from her mouth, unwillingly starting to peel the apple, Yi Feng couldn’t help but feel delighted.
Take that for being so smug just now!
“Work has been tough lately, but it’s worth it, the business is not bad,” Yi Feng replied.
Li Wan, hearing this, looked very satisfied and praised, “As long as the business is good, Little Feng, you’re really accomplished, you aced the exams and know how to do business, you’re so capable, your parents will be blessed in the future!”
“Teach Xixi more in the future!”
That look, it’s like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law!
Gu Muxi also noticed her look, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly said, “Mom, I don’t need him to teach me!”
She peeled an extremely ugly apple and handed it to Yi Feng.
“Here, Yi Feng, for you!”
Yi Feng didn’t mind, as long as it was edible.
“Thanks, Gu Master.”
He casually took the apple and started munching away, looking very pleased.
Gu Muxi gritted her teeth and glared at him, while Yi Feng was completely indifferent, with a look of ‘what can you do to me?’
Li Wan saw the two of them squabbling again, like a pair of little enemies, and felt a headache coming on.
These kids grew up together, playing and making trouble together, why do they still act this way after growing up?
Can’t they… get along peacefully and lovingly?
Really.
Maybe it’s just as Xixi’s dad said.
Xixi and Little Feng are too familiar with each other to possibly come together.
Li Wan shook her head, took a sip of tea.
The kids are grown up, there’s not much she can control, whether they have fate or not, it’s up to heaven to decide!
“The food is ready, Xixi, son, go wash your hands and get ready to eat!” Meng Xiaoyun announced, bringing out the dishes with a smile.
“Alright,
I’ll go first!” Yi Feng immediately stood up and ran towards the bathroom.
“Me too!” Gu Muxi followed quickly.
At the bathroom door, Yi Feng was about to close the door, “Gu Muxi, you should be aware of who came first!”
“Washing hands, what’s there to queue for? If you’re not washing, move aside.” Gu Muxi squeezed into the door.
“Hey, hey, Gu Muxi, I need to use the toilet! Don’t come in, I’m about to take my pants off!” Yi Feng hurriedly shouted.
Gu Muxi glanced at him, haughtily snorted, “Go ahead, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”
Yi Feng: “……”
