Chapter 20: Please Take Care of Xixi for Me (Part 2/2)

In the evening, after dinner, Yi Feng was watching TV in the living room.

The TV was showing the recently popular “The Legend of the Daming Palace.”

Watching the young prince of Persia, Yi Feng couldn’t help but sigh, truly time spares no one.

His mother, Meng Xiaoyun, came out of her room and saw Yi Feng still watching TV, puzzled, she asked, “Son, don’t you need to review your lessons? Why are you still watching TV?”

Yi Feng didn’t turn his head and said, “Mom, let me just finish this episode, and then I’ll go study!”`

Meng Xiaoyun laughed helplessly. Her son didn’t used to like watching TV dramas much, what’s gotten into him recently?

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

“Son, go open the door,” Meng Xiaoyun called.

“Okay.”

Yi Feng jumped off the couch and ran to open the door.

Li Wan was standing outside holding a plate of watermelon, her expression kind and smiling at him.

“Good evening, little Feng.”

“Aunty, good evening! Please come in. Are you looking for my mom?” Yi Feng warmly invited.

At this moment, Meng Xiaoyun came out of the bathroom and saw Li Wan, smiling, “Sis, what’s up?”

“I bought a watermelon, cut half for you, and also came to find little Feng,” Li Wan entered, placing the watermelon on the table.

Yi Feng was stunned, looking for me?

“Aunty, is there something I can help with?” Yi Feng asked, puzzled.

Li Wan pinched his cheek affectionately and smiled, “little Feng, I’m going on a business trip to Shanghai with your Uncle Gu tomorrow afternoon, and we’ll be away for three days.”

“I’m not comfortable leaving Xixi at home alone, could I entrust you to look after Xixi for three days?”

“Study together, supervise her, and make sure she doesn’t slack off!”

Hearing this, Yi Feng’s eyes sparkled with excitement, immediately responding, “Understood, aunty, don’t worry, I will… take good care of Gu Muxi!”

Li Wan patted his head, relieved, “Little Feng, you’re such a good boy. I’m counting on you then.”

“No problem!”

Meng Xiaoyun, having listened to their conversation, smiled and said, “Sis, don’t worry. You can just have Xixi come over to our place for meals, it’ll be more lively with another person around.”

“Alright, Xiaoyun, then I’ll trouble you to take care of her these few days!”

“Ah, we’re all family, it’s no trouble at all.”

“Alright then, I’ll go back and pack my bags. Enjoy the watermelon,” Li Wan said goodbye and returned to her place across the door.

Yi Feng, thinking about the next three days of “taking care” of Gu Muxi, felt thrilled.

Alone together…

Gu Muxi, you won’t escape my grasp now, haha!

Suddenly, his head hurt.

Meng Xiaoyun had knocked him on the head.

“I’m telling you, don’t bully Xixi. If I find out, I’ll spank you until your butt blooms.”

Yi Feng laughed and cried, “Mom, Gu Muxi is so strong, I can’t even beat her, how can you think I’d bully her?”

“That’s discrimination!”

“Why don’t you say she bullies me?”

Meng Xiaoyun righteously declared, “Xixi is so well-behaved and gentle, she definitely wouldn’t bully anyone.”

Yi Feng pulled a face. Today on the basketball court, she had him in a chokehold, is that being well-behaved? Where is she gentle?

That’s not even close!

But… I like her feisty spirit!

Hehe!

Yi Feng turned off the TV and ran to his room, “Mom, going to study now!”

Entering his room, Yi Feng opened the curtains to see Gu Muxi had already opened her curtains and was sitting at her desk.

“Hello, little Xixi!” Yi Feng called out to Gu Muxi with a cheeky expression and a somewhat smug smile.

Gu Muxi turned her head, seeing Yi Feng at the opposite window, “What do you want?”

“Just now, your mom came over to ask me, to take good care of you and supervise your study for the next three days, hehe!” Yi Feng said happily.

“What’s there to be happy about? Humph!”

“Hehe, just thinking about spending three days with you makes me happy.”

“Hmm?”
