"Hm? My… milk?"

Gu Muxi looked at the milk in her hand and pouted, "No, you didn't even give me any of your juice!"

"If you won't give it, then forget it. I was planning to give you a gift for your birthday tomorrow, but now… let me think it over." Yi Feng sighed.

"Hm! A birthday gift? Yi Feng, what birthday gift were you planning to give me?" Gu Muxi squinted her eyes, curiously asking.

"This…," Yi Feng pretended to hesitate.

"Here, have a sip, just one sip, okay!" Gu Muxi handed over her milk.

Without giving up the milk, one can't extract information.

Yi Feng took the milk and chuckled, "If I drink it, it'll have my saliva on it, aren't you afraid?"

Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Afraid of what, do you have a virus or something? Besides… it's not like I haven't drunk it before…"

After saying this, she realized her words could be misconstrued, and her cheeks turned red as she turned her head away.

She still remembered when they were kids, both families weren't very well off, and if one family bought candy or snacks, they would eat them together.

They had shared a lollipop many times.

And drinking from the same bottle, eating from the same snack pack, gnawing on the same sugarcane.

All of this was too normal.

So she didn't think there was anything to it.

"Then I'm going to drink it, okay."

Yi Feng tilted his head back and took a big gulp, finishing off half the cup.

"Stop!"

"Stinky Yi Feng, give me back my milk!"

Gu Muxi quickly snatched the milk back and glared at him.

"Ah, I accidentally drank too much. But you said, just one sip. I didn't drink a second sip," Yi Feng wiped his mouth, smiling proudly.

Gu Muxi finished the rest of the milk to prevent Yi Feng from targeting it again.

After drinking the milk and putting the cup away, Gu Muxi clenched her little fists and huffed, "Now, you can tell me, right?"

"What is the birthday gift, exactly?"

Yi Feng seriously said, "It's a computer!"

Gu Muxi paused, then scoffed, "Yi Feng, as if I don't know about your finances."

"You fix computers to make money, and you can buy a computer?"

"You're kidding, right? I don't believe it!"

In her mind, a computer was a luxury item, unaffordable for most families, let alone Yi Feng. A computer would cost at least seven to eight thousand, if not tens of thousands of yuan!

Stinky Yi Feng, playing tricks on me again!

Yi Feng: "…"

How come nobody believes the truth in this world anymore?

"Anyway, you'll find out tomorrow."

"By the way, do you have time this… Sunday?"

Yi Feng dragged out his words.

"I'm free this Sunday!"

"What's up?" Gu Muxi paused, asking in return.

"Didn't you say last time you wanted to go shopping in the city center? Tomorrow's your birthday, I'll take you there," Yi Feng smiled.

"Yo, when did Yi Feng become so free? These days, I see you're busy until late before coming back for dinner. You still have time to take me shopping?" Gu Muxi expressed her surprise.

"So, are you going or not?"

"Going, of course!"

"Then it's settled. We'll leave after breakfast tomorrow morning. I'll ride your bicycle."

"Hey, you have your own bike, why ride mine?"

"Hehe, mine is new, afraid it might get stolen!"

"Hm? Okay, so if my bike gets stolen, you won't feel bad, right?"

"Yeah."

"Looking for a beating!"

Gu Muxi lunged at Yi Feng with bared teeth and claws, pinning him down on the bed, on top of him.

"Little Feng, do you guys want to eat…"

Suddenly, the door opened, and Li Wan appeared at the doorway, stunned.

Gu Muxi and Yi Feng were petrified on the spot again!

Seeing Gu Muxi on top of Yi Feng was an extremely ambiguous position.

"Cough cough, what's this?"

"It seems I've come at a bad time," Li Wan smiled awkwardly.

"Ah! Mom, don't get the wrong idea, we were just playing, playing!" Gu Muxi quickly got up, her face red as she explained.

"Yes, Auntie," Yi Feng said earnestly.

"Oh~~~ I understand, you guys continue, I'll go eat my melon," Li Wan smirked, closed the door, and left.

Gu Muxi glared with wide eyes, Mom, don't think weird things!

"It's all your fault, stinky Yi Feng!"

Yi Feng spread his hands, laughing, "My fault?"

In the living room outside.

Li Wan rushed excitedly to the sofa, sitting next to Gu Xingzhong.

"Could Xixi and little Feng be dating?" She was excited as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Dating? Impossible, they've grown up together, too familiar with each other, it's not likely," Gu Xingzhong shook his head in disbelief.

"Being familiar is good, childhood sweethearts, isn't that nice?"

"Besides, I've watched little Feng grow up. The kid is hardworking, kind, and ambitious, quite good, really!"

"Anyway, I'm happy to see it happen," Li Wan smiled.

Gu Xingzhong smiled, "little Feng is indeed a good kid, but as for love, it's up to the kids themselves, it depends on fate."

"I think being too familiar makes it impossible, you don't understand men."

Li Wan paused, surprised, "Is that so?"

"But they seem to get along very well, maybe there'll be sparks if they keep it up?"

Gu Xingzhong rolled his eyes at her, "You're getting excited over nothing. It's their matter."

He pushed the watermelon on the table towards her, laughing, "You just enjoy your melon."

"I just love watching the drama."

Li Wan picked up a slice of watermelon, recalling the scene just now, a smile creeping across her lips.

…

The next morning at seven o'clock sharp, Gu Muxi got up early to wash and dress.

After washing up, she returned to her room to choose her clothes and suddenly realized she didn't know where her blue dress was.

She ran out, shouting towards the kitchen, "Mom, have you seen my blue dress?"

Li Wan came out of the kitchen, "Isn't it in your wardrobe? It might be on the lower shelf."

She suddenly noticed Gu Muxi seemed to have put on makeup and asked, "Xixi, are you going out today? Why are you wearing makeup?"

Recalling that her daughter didn't usually wear makeup except for certain events or school parties.

Gu Muxi's cheeks turned red, her gaze evasive, she replied casually, "No, nothing, just wanted to go downtown for a stroll."

"Oh, today's your 18th birthday, I'll go order a cake for you later, remember to come back tonight!"

"Daughter, from today, you're an adult!" Li Wan smiled.

"Mom, I know, I'll come back in the afternoon~" Gu Muxi turned back to her room and found the blue dress in the lower drawer, happily changing into it.
