NOVEL NEXT
Chapter 67.1
Yi Feng also saw his own interview and laughed, “It’s not that exaggerated, just two interviews.”
“I’m not interested in becoming an internet celebrity.”
Gu Muxi paused, puzzled, “Internet celebrity? What’s that?”
“Cough cough, you wouldn’t understand. Better go wash up and sleep early, we have another exam tomorrow,” Yi Feng stood up and said.
“Stinky Yi Feng, you have to do your best in the integrated sciences and English exams!” Gu Muxi called out to him.
“Alright, you too.”
After saying goodbye to Gu Muxi’s parents, Yi Feng returned home. The house felt somewhat empty. Yi Feng thought about calling his mother, who was scheduled for surgery the day after tomorrow, but hesitated and put the phone down. His father had instructed not to call him before the end of the college entrance exams, fearing it might upset him.
Yi Feng shook his head with a wry smile, planning to visit the hospital after tomorrow’s exam. By then, his father wouldn’t have any reason to complain.
Returning to his room, Yi Feng turned on his computer and continued working on the antivirus program code. The program wasn’t particularly challenging, but due to the current level of computer technology, it needed to be optimized to adapt to most machines’ capabilities, or it wouldn’t be effective.
The project was already 80% complete, and he should be able to finish and start internal testing before starting college.
Engrossed in coding, Yi Feng lost track of time until it was 10 PM.
Suddenly, his QQ messenger chimed. It was a message from “Tsinghua Nianhua.” Ever since Gu Muxi added him with this alternate account, she had pretended to be a netizen from the Northeast, trying to tease him, but Yi Feng always parried her attempts.
Yi Feng occasionally teased her back, once convincing her that cucumber slices soaked in sugar water could beautify her skin, only for her to actually try it and end up chased by mosquitoes and ants all day.
Tsinghua Nianhua: “Hey, little handsome guy, what are you up to?”
Feng: “Correcting you first, I’m not little.”
Tsinghua Nianhua: “I haven’t seen you, how would I know your age?”
Feng: “So, you want to meet? Hehe!”
Tsinghua Nianhua: “Nah, it’s too far. I’m way over here in the Northeast!”
Yi Feng smirked, looking out the window. What Northeast? She’s just across the window.
Still pretending with me?
Feng: “Oh, your loss then.”
Tsinghua Nianhua: “……”
“I’ve noticed you have a thick skin!”
Feng: “Thanks for the compliment.”
“What do you want?”
Tsinghua Nianhua: “Let me share a post with you, it’s hilarious! Haha!”
She then sent a link to a post on Tianya Forum.
He clicked on the post, and the title left him stunned.
“How do you evaluate the ‘Oyster Brother’ from the college entrance exam, do you think he’s a top student or a slacker?”
With over a thousand replies, the post had made it to the forum’s hot list.
“Judgment made, ‘Oyster Brother’ is undoubtedly a slacker!”
“My brother said, the last time such a bold student ended up working in a factory.”
“Haha! I saw the news too, that guy is hilarious!”
“What’s with young people these days, always wanting to stand out?”
The post sparked a mix of praise and criticism among netizens.
Yi Feng shook his head and smiled. In this era of rampant information, a little incident could blow up online.
He wasn’t bothered at all; such discussions were merely fodder for after-dinner conversations.
Tsinghua Nianhua: “Did you see? ‘Oyster Brother,’ lol! That nickname is hilarious, that guy is too funny! Haha!”
Sitting in front of the computer, Gu Muxi chuckled to herself.
Stinky Yi Feng, finally got you this time!
Gaga gaga!
She had just been surfing the internet randomly when she stumbled upon the post. She hadn’t expected the news to cause such a stir online so soon after airing.
So she deliberately sent the post to tease Yi Feng.
Feng: “Oh, don’t you think he’s handsome?”
Yi Feng typed with a smile.
Tsinghua Nianhua: “Handsome? As in the cricket ‘cricket’?” Feng: “I saw in the interview, there was a girl standing next to him that matched him well. They’ll probably end up together, right?”
Gu Muxi’s cheeks flushed as she quickly typed, “Where’s the match? Are you blind? Who would like him?”
She added another line.
“Only a fool would like him!”
After typing, Gu Muxi bit her finger, staring at the screen, feeling a bit nervous.
Could Stinky Yi Feng have recognized it was her?
Impossible!
I’ve hidden it so well, so deep, Stinky Yi Feng definitely hasn’t recognized me, right?
Meanwhile, Yi Feng chuckled to himself.
He could imagine Gu Muxi nervously biting her finger by now.
Playing with me?
Little girl.
Feng: “Oh, is that so? But why are you so agitated? That girl isn’t you.”
Seeing this message, Gu Muxi felt somewhat relieved.
Ahahaha! Stinky Yi Feng definitely doesn’t know he’s chatting with me right now!
Hehe, so fun!
Tsinghua Nianhua: “I’m just speaking up for her. She’s so pretty, so naturally beautiful!”
Feng: “Yes, yes, she is. I know her, she’s pretty nice, just dresses a bit… conservatively, hehe.”
Gu Muxi’s eyes widened. Conservative?
What the heck! Is Stinky Yi Feng saying… I’m small?
Damn it!
Gu Muxi looked down at her neckline.
I’m not small, okay!
Hmph!
Tsinghua Nianhua: “I don’t think she’s small at all, you must be blind!”
“Get your eyes checked before you go blind!”
After sending the message, Gu Muxi closed QQ, puffing her cheeks in anger.
I’m perfectly normal!
Is Stinky Yi Feng only into bigger?
Gu Muxi looked down again, lost in thought.
…
Seeing the QQ avatar go gray, Yi Feng knew Gu Muxi must have logged off in a huff.
“Little Xixi, you can’t beat me!” Yi Feng murmured with a smile, then resumed his programming work.
The next morning, Yi Feng was woken up as usual by human alarm clock Gu Muxi.
“Yi Feng, time to get up!”
“Alright, Gu alarm clock.”
“Alarm clock? You’re the alarm clock! Hurry up!”
Yi Feng lazily got out of bed, quickly washed up, and went to Gu Muxi’s house for breakfast.
Sitting at the breakfast table, sipping meat porridge, Gu Muxi emerged from her room with a ponytail.
“Morning, Yi Feng.”
