Chapter 68: Tomorrow is also mine

“What’s wrong with the guy? It’s not like he can’t stick it. Don’t forget, today isn’t over yet; your hand is still mine.”

Lu Xiaoxi hadn’t finished speaking when she had already stuck a Dingdang Cat sticker on someone’s index finger.

This kind of sticker had thickness, and after sticking it, Lu Xiaoxi even touched it to confirm it was perfectly fitted.

“Looks good, right?”

“Looks like crap.”

“I think it looks pretty good.”

Li Mu wanted to pull his hand back, but Lu Xiaoxi yanked it back.

One wasn’t enough; she had to stick a second, a third…

Under Li Mu’s extremely distorted expression, Lu Xiaoxi completed her great artwork.

Li Mu looked at the stickers covering all five fingers of his left hand and fell into deep thought.

“Ugly as hell.”

“Looks good.”

“Ugly.”

“Looks good.”

“Ugly.”

“Don’t talk; if I say it looks good, then it looks good.”

“Bossy.” Li Mu muttered quietly, holding his sticker-covered hand up to the light for a closer look.

Colorful and flashy, with all sorts of colors and animals, it was indeed ugly, but not too bad.

He decided to take them off before class tomorrow; it wasn’t urgent now, and he wanted to let her enjoy it a little longer.

“Lu Xiaoxi.”

“Mm?”

“Nothing.”

“Are you sick?” Lu Xiaoxi poked his arm, which was quite solid, and poked it again, finding it very amusing.

“You’re sitting too close.”

“You came over to sit next to me, okay?” Li Mu’s mouth twitched; his position hadn’t changed, and he didn’t know who had plopped down next to him.

“Move over a bit.”

“Oh.”

“I told you to move over, not to come closer!”

“Hehe, I misheard.” Li Mu laughed, giving Lu Xiaoxi a bit of space.

About two or three centimeters.

Being close to the girl felt nice, and he could smell her scent.

“That’s enough.”

Li Mu moved his hand a little further away, to an invisible spot.

Lu Xiaoxi’s little fist hardened, and she started tapping on his arm.

At first, it felt quite nice; Li Mu didn’t take it seriously, but gradually, Lu Xiaoxi’s strength increased, and he had to use force to flex his muscles to protect himself.

His defense was maxed out.

Seeing that she couldn’t move him, Lu Xiaoxi’s eyes shifted, and she began to tickle his armpit and poke his waist. Lu Xiaoxi felt that Li Mu was as hard as a rock; poking anywhere was useless.

She clearly used to be able to make him laugh.

“Boring.”

“Your happiness is built on my suffering.”

“Then hurry up and cry for me to see, so I can be happy.”

Li Mu: “……”

“By the way, how’s your tutoring with Yuanyuan going?”

“It starts tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon to evening, I have to tutor Yuanyuan for an hour.”

“What about me?”

“What about you? Just do whatever you want; don’t you play games every day?” Lu Xiaoxi glared at him.

What did it have to do with her?

“I’ll bring Yuanyuan over to tutor.”

Mainly because it was more comfortable to tutor at home; she wasn’t used to going to Yuanyuan’s house.

“Then what’s the difference from before?”

Li Mu didn’t understand.

The tutoring had been set up a long time ago, but due to various reasons, it had been delayed until tomorrow. Before that, Lu Xiaoxi had already brought Xia Yuanyuan over several times to play, teaching her homework and studying; it seemed like the tutoring had started long ago.

“Right? Sister Xia is really nice. I said I could tutor Yuanyuan for free, but she still wanted to pay me.”

“You don’t understand; it’s hard to repay favors.”

…

The two of them chatted while watching a movie.

For a small girl, sweet dramas were the best.

She loved watching others fall in love.

As for domestic racing films, Lu Xiaoxi had never watched this type of genre.

But sitting next to Li Mu while watching a movie, even a genre she didn’t like was bearable.

The last sci-fi film was the same; this racing film was too.

Lu Xiaoxi glanced at him and found Li Mu was engrossed in the movie.

The projected image was from the first-person perspective of a race car driver, and as the car turned, his body would lean slightly.

So silly.

Li Mu smelled just like her shower gel, which was very pleasant.

The same shower gel; she couldn’t smell it on herself, but it smelled great on others.

Lu Xiaoxi finally understood why Li Mu liked to smell her.

“I’m going to sleep; you should sleep early too.” She yawned, got up, and walked towards her room in slippers.

“Mm, I took a long nap, so I’m not sleepy yet.”

Lu Xiaoxi stopped in front of the door, opened WeChat, turned the volume up to the max, and carefully pointed the speaker at Li Mu, playing the “good night” voice message he had sent.

“Damn, as soon as I heard that voice, I knew how handsome the owner of the voice was, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, majestic and beautiful as jade, graceful and elegant…”

Li Mu had accumulated a lot of idioms describing the appearance of men and women while writing novels, and he hadn’t used them in his writing, but unexpectedly found a use for them here.

“Enough already, vain. Good night.”

“Wait!”

“What is it?”

Li Mu grinned and played the “good night” voice message Lu Xiaoxi had sent, repeating it many times.

Suddenly, the living room was filled with just “good night.”

Lu Xiaoxi felt a bit shy, but with only a small lamp and the projector in the entire hall, it was hard to see clearly from a distance.

Every time she heard that voice, she wanted to slap herself; why did she send Li Mu a voice message back then? The voice was so soft and weak; it wasn’t her at all.

“As soon as I heard that voice, I knew how beautiful the owner of the voice was, like a fish sinking and a wild goose falling, moonlight shy and flowers ashamed, stunningly beautiful…”

“Little Pig Lu’s face is also quite thick.”

“I learned it from you; you’ve led me astray.”

“Alright, I’ll take the blame for everything.”

“That’s how it is; I’m going to sleep.”

Lu Xiaoxi closed the door.

Only one person was left in the living room.

The movie was reaching its climax, with the race still going on fiercely, various spectacular scenes flashing by, and finally, a humanistic brilliance to elevate the theme.

Li Mu sat on the sofa, changing positions, suddenly feeling that the movie wasn’t interesting anymore.

It was much more comfortable when the small girl was next to him.

Li Mu turned off the projector and took his laptop back to his room.

Of course, he didn’t sleep; instead, he started building a block airplane…

In the next room.

Lu Xiaoxi lay on her side on the bed, with many little trinkets by the bedside.

A little dog plush toy, a sunny doll, some wrinkled origami cranes, and now there was a block car that she had sacrificed her nap time to assemble.

Although she was a bit sleepy, she still wanted to check her phone.

Looking at the balance of nine hundred yuan in WeChat, Lu Xiaoxi calculated carefully.

She could buy Li Mu many days with that.

The laptop was too heavy; she would need Li Mu to help carry it tomorrow.

She would buy Li Mu another day.

Tomorrow is also mine.

It had been a long time since she sent him a period.
