Yi Feng also saw his own interview and laughed, âItâs not that exaggerated, just two interviews.â
âIâm not interested in becoming an internet celebrity.â
Gu Muxi paused, puzzled, âInternet celebrity? Whatâs that?â
âCough cough, you wouldnât understand. Better go wash up and sleep early, we have another exam tomorrow,â Yi Feng stood up and said.
âStinky Yi Feng, you have to do your best in the integrated sciences and English exams!â Gu Muxi called out to him.
âAlright, you too.â
After saying goodbye to Gu Muxiâs 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 tomorrowâs exam. By then, his father wouldnât 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 wasnât particularly challenging, but due to the current level of computer technology, it needed to be optimized to adapt to most machinesâ capabilities, or it wouldnât 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 âTsinghua Nianhua.â 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: âHey, little handsome guy, what are you up to?â
Feng: âCorrecting you first, Iâm not little.â
Tsinghua Nianhua: âI havenât seen you, how would I know your age?â
Feng: âSo, you want to meet? Hehe!â
Tsinghua Nianhua: âNah, itâs too far. Iâm way over here in the Northeast!â
Yi Feng smirked, looking out the window. What Northeast? Sheâs just across the window.
Still pretending with me?
Feng: âOh, your loss then.â
Tsinghua Nianhua: ââ¦â¦â
âIâve noticed you have a thick skin!â
Feng: âThanks for the compliment.â
âWhat do you want?â
Tsinghua Nianhua: âLet me share a post with you, itâs hilarious! Haha!â
She then sent a link to a post on Tianya Forum.
He clicked on the post, and the title left him stunned.
âHow do you evaluate the âOyster Brotherâ from the college entrance exam, do you think heâs a top student or a slacker?â
With over a thousand replies, the post had made it to the forumâs hot list.
âJudgment made, âOyster Brotherâ is undoubtedly a slacker!â
âMy brother said, the last time such a bold student ended up working in a factory.â
âHaha! I saw the news too, that guy is hilarious!â
âWhatâs with young people these days, always wanting to stand out?â
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 wasnât bothered at all; such discussions were merely fodder for after-dinner conversations.
Tsinghua Nianhua: âDid you see? âOyster Brother,â lol! That nickname is hilarious, that guy is too funny! Haha!â
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 hadnât expected the news to cause such a stir online so soon after airing.
So she deliberately sent the post to tease Yi Feng.
Feng: âOh, donât you think heâs handsome?â
Yi Feng typed with a smile.
Tsinghua Nianhua: âHandsome? As in the cricket âcricketâ?â
Feng: âI saw in the interview, there was a girl standing next to him that matched him well. Theyâll probably end up together, right?â
Gu Muxiâs cheeks flushed as she quickly typed, âWhereâs the match? Are you blind? Who would like him?â
She added another line.
âOnly a fool would like him!â
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!
Iâve hidden it so well, so deep, Stinky Yi Feng definitely hasnât 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: âOh, is that so? But why are you so agitated? That girl isnât you.â
Seeing this message, Gu Muxi felt somewhat relieved.
Ahahaha! Stinky Yi Feng definitely doesnât know heâs chatting with me right now!
Hehe, so fun!
Tsinghua Nianhua: âIâm just speaking up for her. Sheâs so pretty, so naturally beautiful!â
Feng: âYes, yes, she is. I know her, sheâs pretty nice, just dresses a bit⦠conservatively, hehe.â
Gu Muxiâs eyes widened. Conservative?
What the heck! Is Stinky Yi Feng saying⦠Iâm small?
Damn it!
Gu Muxi looked down at her neckline.
Iâm not small, okay!
Hmph!
Tsinghua Nianhua: âI donât think sheâs small at all, you must be blind!â
âGet your eyes checked before you go blind!â
After sending the message, Gu Muxi closed QQ, puffing her cheeks in anger.
Iâm perfectly normal!
Is Stinky Yi Feng only into bigger?
Gu Muxi looked down again, lost in thought.
â¦
Seeing the QQ avatar go gray, Yi Feng knew Gu Muxi must have logged off in a huff.
âLittle Xixi, you canât beat me!â 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.
âYi Feng, time to get up!â
âAlright, Gu alarm clock.â
âAlarm clock? Youâre the alarm clock! Hurry up!â
Yi Feng lazily got out of bed, quickly washed up, and went to Gu Muxiâs house for breakfast.
Sitting at the breakfast table, sipping meat porridge, Gu Muxi emerged from her room with a ponytail.
âMorning, Yi Feng.â
