The fireworks ended, and Yi Feng let her go, finally feeling somewhat satisfied.
âSo sweet.â
Gu Muxiâs cheeks blushed as she furiously wiped her mouth, glaring at him, âEnough already, you!â
âHehe, Iâll never have enough,â Yi Feng said with a mischievous smile.
Gu Muxi pinched the soft flesh of his waist, âNo sneaking up on me in the future!â
âOuch!â
âIt was you who sneaked up on me first. This is called using the other personâs methods against them,â Yi Feng argued.
âHmph~ I canât be bothered with you, Iâm hungry again,â Gu Muxi pouted.
âIndeed, according to scientific research, kissing is good for heart and lung functions and burns a lot of energy, which is beneficial for losing weight. I think itâs necessary to do this exercise often,â Yi Feng said earnestly.
Gu Muxiâs cheeks heated up, and she rolled her eyes at him, âYou and your twisted logic!â
âHmph~ Iâm ignoring you. Iâm going to have some fish soup.â
âHehe, let me heat it up for you.â
âThatâs more like it.â
âMiss, would you like another grilled fish? My grilling skills are pretty good.â
âThatâs fine. Do you need my help?â
âNo need, just wait to be fed.â
âWhat am I, a pig? Never mind, Iâll go make some tea for you.â
The two worked together, with Yi Feng preparing two fish, marinating them for a few minutes before grilling them over the fire, while Gu Muxi made tea, occasionally handing him a cup to quench his thirst.
Sometimes, the two didnât need words, just a look or a gesture was enough to understand each otherâs intentions, perfect harmony.
After brushing the grilled fish with oil three times, it wasnât long before the aroma filled the air, the fish skin grilled to a crispy texture, and the flesh tender. Finally, sprinkled with salt, cumin, and chili powder, the aroma intensified.
âMmm! It smells so good!â Gu Muxi looked at the grilled fish, saliva crazily secreting due to the aroma.
âSmells good, right? Please call me the grilled fish master. Not to brag, but with these skills, I could open a chain store,â Yi Feng said proudly.
âHey, Stinky Feng, Iâve noticed you shine bright given a little sunlight. Stop talking, is it ready? I canât wait!â Gu Muxi picked up her chopsticks, swallowing saliva.
âDonât be so impatient, youâre like a hungry wolf.â
âPlease, just hurry up, okay?â
âHehe, how about a kiss from you?â
âHmph!â
âHey! Gu Muxi, donât snatch, you want that much?â
âDonât worry, I can eat this much!â
Yi Feng rolled his eyes, âCan you really finish such a long fish?â
âReally, donât doubt my appetite,â Gu Muxi said, smelling the freshly snatched grilled fish, a look of satisfaction on her face.
The grilled fish weighed three to four pounds.
âThen eat, but eat slowly, okay? Grass carp has a lot of bones,â Yi Feng said, looking at her gluttonous cat appearance with concern.
âOkay, I know~â Gu Muxi casually replied, placing the grilled fish on a plate to start eating.
Under their joint efforts, the two grilled fish were completely devoured.
âBurp~â
Yi Feng burped, feeling very satisfied, âReally good, Iâm full.â
âBurp~ I canât eat anymore either,â Gu Muxi leaned back in her chair, patting her belly.
The two of them lounged in their chairs, gazing at the star-filled sky.
âThe stars are so numerous tonight,â Gu Muxi, enjoying the cool night breeze on her face, remarked.
The Milky Way was faintly visible in the sky, like a waterfall spanning the horizon.
The lake reflected the myriad stars, utterly beautiful.
The campfire, the Milky Way, the lake, and having her boyfriend by her side, everything was just perfect.
Gu Muxi couldnât help but show a sweet smile.
âYeah, itâs beautiful,â Yi Feng agreed.
âBy the way, Little Xixi, do you want an popsicle to help digest?â
âYes! Bring it to me fast!â
Hearing about popsicles, she couldnât refuse no matter how full she was.
Yi Feng ran into the tent and brought out two popsicles, one for each, eating them under the starry sky.
Gu Muxi sat in her chair, kicking her legs up and down, occasionally humming a tune, looking in a very good mood.
Yi Feng finished his popsicle in a few bites and mysteriously said, âGu Muxi, I have another surprise for you.â
âHm? Stinky Feng, youâre quite the trickster. What are you up to this time?â Gu Muxi asked curiously.
âAh, you forgot. When we came, I told you I could give you a personal concert.â
âWait here for me.â
Saying this, Yi Feng ran to the Audi, opened the trunk, and took out something from the very back.
Gu Muxi craned her neck to see, surprised at the shape of the object.
âA guitar?â
Yi Feng returned to the campfire with the guitar, smiling, âSee, Iâve got everything prepared.â
âYou know how to play the guitar? Iâve never seen you play before,â Gu Muxi was surprised.
Yi Feng chuckled, âIâve been recognized as one of the campusâs top talents, so playing the guitar is normal for me, though Iâm not that great, just barely know how to play.â
âIâve only been learning for a short while. Itâs not hard to learn this instrument if you know a bit of music theory and practice. Besides, Iâm naturally talented!â Yi Feng said with a smile.
He opened his backpack, took out the guitar, and gently strummed the strings, producing a beautiful guitar sound.
Gu Muxi, with her hands propped on her cheeks, expectantly asked, âStinky Feng, what song do you want to sing?â
Yi Feng smiled mysteriously, âA song youâve never heard before.â
âHm? Your own creation?â
âNot exactly, itâs a cover.â
Yi Feng strummed the guitar, softly singing.
âI forgot how it started, maybe it was just a feeling for youâ¦â
âSuddenly found myself, deeply in love with you, itâs really simpleâ¦â
â¦
His deep, magnetic voice rose, striking directly at Gu Muxiâs heart.
She was stunned.
She hadnât expected Yi Feng to sing so well.
Instantly, she rested her cheeks in her hands, slowly sinking into his singing.
The night breeze was cool, the song melodious, echoing beautifully over the lake.
After the song ended, Yi Feng stopped playing and smiled, âDid you like the song?â
âItâs beautiful! I didnât see that coming, you have quite the skill!â Gu Muxi smiled sweetly.
âOf course. But⦠itâs getting late now, shouldnât we go to sleep?â Yi Feng chuckled.
Gu Muxiâs cheeks
flushed, âGo to sleep your head!â
Half an hour later.
In the tent, the two lay stiffly, completely silent, the air filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Although their relationship had been confirmed, before breaking through that final barrier, everything seemed fine.
But now it was different. Should they do something?
Gu Muxiâs cheeks were red, her heart pounding.
âStinky Feng, are you asleep?â
