Chapter 21: Retracted a message.

What kind of experience is it to take a shower with someone else’s things?

It was very refreshing!

The novel had concluded, and he had no need to write anymore; his evenings were relatively free.

This also gave him more time to play games.

Games were one of the biggest topics among boys. During the class meeting, a few boys sought out Li Mu to chat, and they naturally talked about the same games they played.

They played until midnight, and Li Mu logged off first, citing an early bedtime.

The lights in the hall had already been turned off, and a faint light shone from Lu Xiaoxi’s room.

He had classes tomorrow; was Lu Xiaoxi still not asleep at this hour?

Li Mu ignored her and glanced at the balcony; the clothes had already been dried by Lu Xiaoxi.

Lu Xiaoxi had been meticulous in drying the clothes, smoothing out all the wrinkles, and hanging them neatly.

In the past, he had been quite casual about drying clothes, just hanging them on a rack, and as long as they didn’t fall, it was a success; he didn’t care about wrinkles since they would disappear after wearing them for a while.

He found two garbage bags to cover the trash cans and returned to his room.

A few drops of light rain hit the window.

In autumn, the rain was mostly light, cool, and very comfortable.

Li Mu walked to the windowsill and could see cars passing below in the community.

Uncle Zhang at the security booth was still on duty.

Being on a high floor, there were basically no mosquitoes, and he could let the outside air flow into the room.

It wouldn’t be long before he would probably need to cover himself with a small quilt.

“I wonder if Little Pig Lu has a quilt?”

He had never been in Lu Xiaoxi’s room and had never seen her luggage, but Lu Xiaoxi had been in his room. Thinking about it, he felt a bit at a loss; he must go into Lu Xiaoxi’s room openly at least once in the future.

Li Mu lay on the bed, inexplicably imagining Lu Xiaoxi shivering in the corner of her bed because she didn’t have a quilt.

Haha, Lu Xiaoxi must be freezing to death.

If she catches a cold tomorrow, he would laugh at her for being weak.

Next door, Lu Xiaoxi was under a small quilt, playing with her phone.

She had been looking at the photos of her and Li Mu playing in the square today.

She didn’t like taking photos, but it was rare to go on a trip, and even she couldn’t help but want to capture the beautiful moments.

“I wonder if Idiot Li deleted those ugly photos…”

He definitely hadn’t deleted them; she knew Li Mu best.

She looked at the three selfies of Li Mu in the album, poking at the phone screen vigorously, as if she could really poke Li Mu, and she could have fun all by herself.

The weather was starting to turn cool; did Li Mu have a quilt?

Lu Xiaoxi lay on her side in bed, and the image of Li Mu shivering in the corner of his bed without a quilt floated in her mind.

By some strange twist of fate, Lu Xiaoxi opened Li Mu’s WeChat and clicked on his profile picture.

Li Mu’s profile picture was a white hamster, which he had bought for ten yuan at the flower and bird market during middle school, and he had raised it diligently for more than two years, but the hamster’s lifespan was only about two years.

Although the little hamster had gone to Hamster Heaven, Li Mu hadn’t brought himself to change it.

She had also liked that little hamster very much in the past; although her relationship with Li Mu had become strained, she would occasionally visit his house to play with the little hamster.

Lu Xiaoxi had a sudden idea and used the photo editing feature on her phone to draw a pig nose and pig ears on Li Mu’s three selfies, hesitating whether to send it to him.

After all, they hadn’t sent WeChat messages to each other for a long time, long enough that even the previous chat history couldn’t be retrieved.

After much hesitation, she chose to give up, inexplicably sighed, and when she put down her phone, her thumb accidentally touched the send button.

Accidental touches like this had happened before; sometimes, when the phone was in her pocket, various apps would open for no reason.

“Shouldn’t he have seen it?” Lu Xiaoxi quickly clicked to retract the message, feeling very guilty, curling up in her quilt.

[Idiot Li]: ?

[Idiot Li]: I saw it.

[Idiot Li]: (sweating beans)

It had been seen!

Since it had already been seen, what was the point of hiding?

Lu Xiaoxi felt her courage suddenly swell, and she directly sent all three pig-headed Li Mu pictures.

[Idiot Li]: ?

[Idiot Li]: So this is how you want to play, huh? I’m going to sue you for infringing on my portrait rights.

[Idiot Li]: (image) (image) (image)

This guy, Li Mu, really hadn’t deleted those ugly photos of her, and he even edited her head to look like a big watermelon?!

Lu Xiaoxi gritted her teeth.

With only a wall separating her from Li Mu, she angrily hit the wall once.

Li Mu felt the commotion and hit the wall back.

Lu Xiaoxi hit again.

He hit again.

Until they heard footsteps from upstairs and the sound of a window opening, this war without gunpowder finally calmed down.

If they didn’t ceasefire soon, the neighbors would come knocking.

She had planned to sleep at midnight, but it was already one in the morning.

In the end, it was still Lu Xiaoxi’s fault.

He charged his phone and set it aside, closed his eyes, and peacefully fell asleep.

Suddenly, the phone lit up; it was a WeChat message from [Little Pig Lu], but he didn’t see it.

The next day at school.

It was the first day of formal classes.

There were no fixed classrooms in college, and as a newcomer, Li Mu found the classroom in just 30 minutes, surpassing 0.1% of college students worldwide.

If it hadn’t been for Lu Xiaoxi’s alarm clock waking him up early, he would have probably been late today.

Being late on the first day of class was a significant issue among college students.

“Why are you sitting so far back?” Lu Xiaoxi saw that there were two empty seats in the front row and wanted to sit with Li Mu, but he ran to the last row without looking back. She put her books down and followed him.

“It’s embarrassing to slack off in front of the teacher when sitting in the front.”

“You came to study, not to waste time.” Lu Xiaoxi frowned slightly.

This guy was always like this; he didn’t listen in class and only borrowed her notes to cram before exams. Although he always managed to do well, he shouldn’t develop such bad habits.

As Li Mu’s friend and the one recommended by Aunt Su, she needed to correct his lazy attitude towards studying!

Her voice was a bit loud, and the surrounding classmates turned their attention to them.

Seeing a cute girl, some boys were eager to approach, but when they saw that the one being scolded was a super handsome guy, their excitement instantly cooled down.

How could they compete when he was ten streets ahead in looks?

“Are you my mom?”

“Aunt Su asked me to supervise your studies.” Lu Xiaoxi said confidently; Aunt Su’s authority was like a sword.

“I can catch up after school, right? It’s not like you kept me up last night, and I didn’t get enough sleep. This class isn’t a major course; it’s fine to catch up on sleep.”

Li Mu really did have some dark circles under his eyes.

At that moment, the teacher walked into the classroom.

“Just one class, okay?” Lu Xiaoxi said softly and returned to her front-row seat.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was ready to have a good talk with his “mom”; was he really the kind of person who needed supervision to study?

Uh, it seemed that he really was; his mom had a keen eye for people.

Li Mu set his phone alarm to vibrate and suddenly saw an unread WeChat message from [Little Pig Lu].

[Little Pig Lu] retracted a message.

[Little Pig Lu]: .
