Back To 20s: School Belle Is Mine

"Thud, thud."

Yi Feng was about to answer when he heard a sound from under the desk; it was Gu Muxi kicking him twice.

"Look here," Gu Muxi whispered.

She was writing the solution to the problem in her notebook.

Yi Feng could tell she was trying to help him out.

This girl really does care about me.

But such a simple question wouldn't stump me.

Yi Feng's math was indeed poor before the college entrance exam, but in order to get into Guangxi University of Science and Technology, he crammed for a month before the exam and scored 503 points, surpassing the first-tier university admission score. However, he ended up changing his choice to Guangxi Normal University under Gu Muxi's "coercion."

Later, in university, he studied a computer major closely related to mathematics, mastering advanced mathematics, C++, and the English Level 6 test.

How could such child's play stump me?

"Why aren't you speaking? Cat got your tongue? Weren't you happy talking just now?" Zhao Xue scolded.

Yi Feng smiled slightly, strode to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and began to write swiftly.

Solution: Since the complex number z=(x²+2x-3)+(x+3)i is purely imaginary.

Then x²+2x-3=0, x+3≠0, solving for x gives x=1.

"Teacher, the answer is 1," Yi Feng said with a smile.

The classroom fell silent, all the students stared at him in astonishment.

Even Gu Muxi was nearly floored.

How did Yi Feng's math improve so much?

Zhao Xue was also stunned, not expecting Yi Feng to get it right. Had he done some advanced studying?

"Cough, cough, well, you got it right. Go back to your seat, and pay attention in class!" Zhao Xue waved him off.

Yi Feng chuckled, "Yes, teacher."

He returned to his seat, thinking to himself that the knowledge he learned in his previous life was indeed useful.

With his current knowledge, he could easily outperform most university students.

If he took the college entrance exam again, he might even compete for the top spot, if not the top hundred.

Thinking about the college entrance exam in two months, Yi Feng couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Brother Feng, you're awesome. I thought you were going to embarrass yourself!" Wang Tie gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

"Heh, it was nothing," Yi Feng adjusted his clothes.

Just then, a small paper note was thrown from the front.

It was a note from Gu Muxi.

He picked it up and read it.

"Remember you owe me a favor! (`へ?*)ノ"

The note also had a tsundere emoticon drawn on it.

This girl, she thinks it was her doing? That was all me!

Yi Feng's eyes twinkled, he tore off a piece of his notebook and threw back a note.

After Gu Muxi read the note, her face turned red, and she angrily glared back at him.

Wang Tie, curious, asked, "Brother Feng, what did you write to the school beauty? Why did her face turn red?"

"Heh, it's nothing," Yi Feng leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed.

Meanwhile, Gu Muxi's desk mate, Chen Jiajia, also noticed Gu Muxi's flushed cheeks and curious expression, asking, "Muxi, what did Yi Feng just say to you?"

"Nothing, he's just a jerk. After school, I'll sort him out!" Gu Muxi tried to hide her flushed face.

She secretly opened the note under the desk.

"I owe you a favor, and also a kiss. You can claim it anytime, I'll be waiting~d(^^*)"

"Jerk, dare to take advantage of me, I'll sort you out later!" Gu Muxi tore up the note, grinding her teeth.

If I don't show you why you shouldn't mess with me, I'm not Gu Muxi!

However, she felt somewhat uneasy, sensing something odd about Yi Feng today.

Time flew by, and soon it was time to go home.

Gu Muxi packed her bag early and left the classroom.

Yi Feng thought she might be too shy to face him.

Did his flirtation backfire?

It seemed he needed to be more cautious in the future, not to rush things.

As the saying goes, haste doesn't bring success. Being too eager might trouble her.

"Let's go home, Wang Tie," Yi Feng called out.

"Okay, brother Feng!" Wang Tie quickly packed his books.

All three of them lived in the same staff residential area, the Guangxi No.3 Rolling Mill Workers' Quarters.

Yi Feng's father was a welder at the rolling mill, and his mother sold vegetables at a street stall.

Gu Muxi's father was the vice director of the rolling mill, and her mother was a clerk there.

Wang Tie's family consisted of just his mother, who worked in logistics at the factory; his father was a drunkard who hung around outside.

His parents had divorced, but his father would still come to his mother for money whenever he was drunk or broke.

Yi Feng remembered his parents causing scenes in the community over this.

After the college entrance exam, to avoid his father, Wang Tie's mother moved out of the workers' quarters.

This led to Yi Feng and Wang Tie losing touch after going to university.

It was a regret that such good friends had to part ways due to family circumstances.

Now that he had a second chance at life, he wouldn't let such regrets happen again.

Leaving the classroom, they headed to the school's bike shed.

The shed was filled with Phoenix, Forever, and other old-brand bicycles.

Yi Feng's bike was an old Phoenix model, considered outdated back then but a popular mode of transportation now.

He remembered his father buying it for him as a birthday gift for 180 yuan on his sixteenth birthday.

Just as Yi Feng was about to unlock his bike, he discovered the tire was flat.

"Damn it! Who the hell slashed my tire!" Yi Feng cursed.

Was there already a rival in love?

"Aw, Yi Feng, is your bike out of air? That's too bad. Looks like you'll have to walk home!" Gu Muxi rode by on her bike, pretending to pass by and laughed.

Hearing her tone, Yi Feng guessed she was likely the culprit.

"Uh, brother Feng, want me to give you a lift?" Wang Tie patted the back seat of his bike.

"Heh, no need." Yi Feng chuckled, sprinting to the back of Gu Muxi's bike, and jumped onto the rear seat.

"Let's go, Muxi."

Gu Muxi glared at him, "Why are you sitting on my bike? Get off!"

"Not getting off, what are you going to do about it?" Yi Feng cheekily replied.

Gu Muxi bared her teeth, showing two little canines, "You asked for it!"

She grabbed Yi Feng's arm and bit down.

Yi Feng quickly used one hand to block her chin and the other to firmly hold her waist.

No matter how hard Gu Muxi tried, she couldn't bite him.

"Are you really a dog? You actually want to bite me? Good thing I was prepared! Heh heh!" Yi Feng gloated.

"Let go of me, I'm going to bite you to death!" Gu Muxi threatened.

Their playful fight near the bike shed drew curious glances from nearby students.

"Isn't that the school beauty, Gu Muxi?"

"My God, why is she getting physical with a boy?"

"Holy cow, it really is the school beauty!"

"Are they… flirting?"

Hearing the whispers of the other students, Gu Muxi became flustered and whispered, "Let go!"

"If you promise not to bite me and to take me home, I'll let go."

"Who let you slash my tire?" Yi Feng grinned.

"Fine, fine, just let go!" Gu Muxi reluctantly agreed.

Yi Feng then released her.

Gu Muxi immediately tried to step on his foot.

But Yi Feng was prepared and dodged, not letting her succeed.

"Trying to step on me? Hehe!"

Gu Muxi was angry and about to escalate the fight.

"Aren't you going to leave? Aren't you afraid of all these people watching?"

"I'm not scared. I've got thick skin," Yi Feng said with a carefree rogue attitude.

Gu Muxi glanced around, realizing it wasn't appropriate to be stared at. Feeling outmaneuvered by Yi Feng, she was both angry and annoyed.

She gritted her teeth, "Hmph, I'll deal with you later!"

With that, she pedaled the bike, taking Yi Feng with her.

"Hey, wait for me!" Wang Tie followed behind on his bike.
