Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle - Chapter 184
At night, in the girls’ dormitory, Room 306, Gu Muxi lay on her bed in a cute pink nightgown, her white legs swinging back and forth. She was humming a tune, in a very good mood.
Chen Jiajia came out of the bathroom and asked with a smile, “Xixi, why are you so happy today? Did you find money outside?”
“Do I? Am I that happy? No, I don’t think so!” Gu Muxi’s cheeks reddened as she denied it three times in a row.
Chen Jiajia walked to her bed, leaned on the bunk above, and teased, “Deny it all you want, but your tail is almost wagging up to the sky.”
“Is it because you went out with Yi Feng today? Are you happy?”
Gu Muxi suddenly sat up from the bed, about to make an excuse, but knowing that any excuse would be feeble in front of Chen Jiajia, she admitted with flushed cheeks, “Yes, of course, I’m happy!”
“Ew, feels like I just ate a big mouthful of dog food,” Chen Jiajia joked.
Ding Ying then curiously asked, “Xixi, Jiajia said you and Yi Feng have been childhood sweethearts, growing up together from primary school to university, don’t you guys find each other too familiar?”
“I haven’t even spent that much time with my brother!”
After pondering for a moment, Gu Muxi replied, “Indeed… sometimes it feels too familiar, I’m even embarrassed to take off his clothes.”
Chen Jiajia: “!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ!!!”
Ding Ying: “Σ(?д?lll)!!!”
Su Xiaomei exclaimed in astonishment, “My God, Xixi, have you guys progressed to that step already? That’s fast!”
Hearing the implication in their words, Gu Muxi felt her cheeks burning and glared at the three, “What are you thinking? Can’t you keep some green thoughts in your minds?”
“I meant last time he got drunk, and his clothes were all vomited on, it was me who took off his clothes.”
“Oh, I see…” the three of them said in unison, their expressions clearly not convinced.
“Hey, Xixi, we’re all adults and college students here, we understand. Adults do adult things, hehe!” Su Xiaomei giggled behind her hand.
“What adult things? What are you thinking about! Really!” Gu Muxi’s cheeks reddened to the root of her neck.
“Of course, making love!” the three said in unison.
Gu Muxi: “o(////▽////)q! No, that’s not it!”
“Ha ha! Alright, let’s not tease you. But seriously, Xixi, what do you like about your boyfriend? What makes you like him so much?” Ding Ying asked, curious since she hadn’t seen what Yi Feng looked like.
Gu Muxi tapped her chin with one hand and said, “There are so many good points?”
“Huh??!!” The three were bewildered.
“Cough cough, I mean, tall, a bit taller than most guys, a bit handsomer, and… a bit richer? But whether it’s his strengths or flaws, I like them all!” Gu Muxi clarified.
“That’s just a tall, rich, and handsome guy, isn’t it?” Ding Ying was amazed, imagining a stereotypical wealthy playboy, clad in Armani, wearing O’Connell leather shoes, puffing on a cigar, a gold watch on his wrist, exuding an aura of money.
Is Gu Muxi into this type?
“Kind of, but not entirely,” Gu Muxi giggled.
Chen Jiajia covered her mouth and laughed, “What tall, rich, and handsome. Yi Feng was quite the trickster in high school, but he’s a really good person.”
“Xixi, aren’t you worried he might be snatched away by someone else?”
“I’m not worried at all,” Gu Muxi stated confidently.
Chen Jiajia teased, “With your temperament, only Yi Feng can tolerate you. Anyone else would have run away. I advise you, women should be gentle and soft, that’s what men like.”
Gu Muxi paused, “Gentle? What does that even mean?”
Chen Jiajia: “……”
“Cough cough, let’s use the word ‘ladylike’ instead. Understand? Speaking softly, moving gracefully, being demure around men. Try it, I bet Yi Feng will definitely like you better when you’re gentle.”
Chen Jiajia spoke with conviction.
“Really?” Gu Muxi was skeptical.
“Trust me, I’m a woman who’s watched eighteen romance dramas!” Chen Jiajia boasted like an expert.
“Should I try it tomorrow?” Gu Muxi hesitated.
“Absolutely, you should show a more feminine side to Yi Feng, make him irresistibly attracted to you!” Chen Jiajia nodded seriously, “Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through it, no problem!”
“Ah? Guide? What kind of guide are you?” Gu Muxi was startled.
Chen Jiajia flicked her hair confidently, “Of course, the guide for the Gentle Lady Plan!”
“Then I want to be the assistant guide!” Ding Ying excitedly raised her hand.
“If she’s the assistant guide, I’ll be the second assistant guide, or ‘Second Guide’ for short. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you strictly!” Su Xiaomei said solemnly.
Gu Muxi facepalmed, wondering how she got roped into another plan. Jiajia really was obsessed with planning!
But what they said made some sense. Didn’t the gentle heroines in dramas always end up the most popular?
Chen Jiajia, hands on the railing, declared solemnly, “Xixi, the Gentle Lady Plan starts now!”
…
The next day, South China University of Science and Technology finally welcomed the first day of military training for new students.
As expected, during military training, the sun was always scorching, and it would pour rain whenever it was time to rest…
Facing the morning sun, over two thousand freshmen gathered on the football field, all dressed in military camouflage, forming impressive squares, a magnificent sight.
In Computer Science Class 1, Yi Feng yawned; he had been busy finishing up the server for the 361 software until 1 a.m., and was woken up by the urgent assembly whistle at 6 a.m.
“Brother Feng, look at your dark circles. Take care of yourself!” Ke Pudgy expressed his concern.
“It’s okay, I’m used to it,” Yi Feng laughed.
“How can you get used to that? It’s easy to become kidney deficient! As the saying goes, ‘a little pleasure is fine, too much hurts the body, and overdoing it leads to disaster!’” Ke Yizhou said seriously.
Yi Feng: “……”
“Damn, Yizhou, you’re the one heading for disaster!”
Yang Jian came over, full of anticipation, “Did you hear? Someone posted on the forum, the new campus belle is from the Architecture department, and she’s majoring in Architectural Design!”
“My God, the Architecture School is mostly male, the new campus belle being so pretty is like a sheep among wolves, surrounded by predators!”
Yi Feng pulled a face, thinking to himself, it’s not always clear who’s the sheep and who’s the wolf…
“Brother Feng, aren’t you thinking of chasing the new campus belle? Looks tough,” Yang Jian sighed.
“Hey, hey, quiet, the class advisor is coming!” Ke Yizhou quickly warned.
The advisor for Class 1 was the vice professor of computer science, Song Kangwen.
The advisor was usually stern and serious, his gaze especially intimidating, always with a stern face, earning him the nickname “Black Demon King” from the students, though they usually just called him “Old Class.”
His presence immediately silenced the class.
Leadership speeches at military training were inevitable, long and tedious, droning on for over an hour. With the training officers’ whistles blowing in unison, military training officially began.
The first training exercise was to run three laps, which is three kilometers, with the entire class running together, not too fast or lagging behind, to foster a sense of team spirit.
Three kilometers wasn’t long, but many were sprawled on the ground exhausted afterwards.
Then there was a half-hour rest.
Meanwhile, in Architecture Design Class 1, Gu Muxi and Chen Jiajia had just finished running. The latter was panting heavily, while Gu Muxi seemed relaxed and effortless, not red or out of breath.
“Is it that tiring?” Gu Muxi laughed.
“Who, who thinks they’re like you?” Chen Jiajia rolled her eyes at her.
Suddenly, about seven or eight boys ran over,
“Classmate Gu, are you thirsty? Have some water!”
“Drink mine, drink mine, mine is salty soda! It can replenish your salt!”
“Drink mine, mine is Jienlibao!”
…
For a moment, a group of boys surrounded her, chattering nonstop.
Then, Zhu Shanhai coughed, “What’s going on here, break it up.”
Zhu Shanhai, sent by the student union to supervise order, was a senior. The new students, still somewhat in awe of seniors, dispersed.
Zhu Shanhai walked up to Gu Muxi, grinning, “classmate Gu, why not… drink my salty soda instead, it’s a new flavor!”
He pulled out the salty soda from behind, “Surprise!”
The crowd: “???”
Everyone internally called him shameless.
Gu Muxi: “……”
“No need, thank you, senior.”
“Ah, you must be thirsty after running so long, come on, take it.” Zhu Shanhai tried to grab Gu Muxi’s hand.
Chen Jiajia glared, thinking, bad move, don’t reach out!
The next moment, Gu Muxi grabbed his arm, followed by a shoulder throw!
“Bang!”
Zhu Shanhai was slammed heavily onto the ground, the area suddenly silent!
The crowd was dumbfounded, stunned!
