Chapter 77: There Was Only One Super

Both of them had finished their showers.

Lu Xiaoxi’s hair was wet, and she hugged her clothes to stuff them into the washing machine, then ran back to the bathroom, carrying a small bucket to dry her underwear.

She still couldn’t bring herself to hang such private items outside for Li Mu to see.

After leaving the hall, she plopped down on the sofa and used a hairdryer to dry her hair.

The noise from the hairdryer was loud, drowning out the sound of the movie playing.

To avoid getting water droplets on the sofa, she leaned forward, exposing her snow-white neck.

Li Mu shifted his position and sat next to her, feeling the warmth radiating from the petite girl and smelling her fresh fragrance, which made him feel relaxed.

Looking at the strands of red and black ropes tangled around her neck, he raised his hand to compare it with his dog tooth bracelet.

The craftsmanship was almost identical, but Lu Xiaoxi’s rope was a darker color, while his was lighter, a change brought by time.

However, Lu Xiaoxi’s dog tooth necklace was made by her grandfather back home, while Li Mu’s dog tooth bracelet came from a girl he didn’t get along with.

Before this, he had always lived scientifically and had never been interested in such folk customs and feng shui.

At that time, his relationship with Lu Xiaoxi was not as close as it was now; he could actually accept this dog tooth bracelet, and he was a bit confused about himself.

Double standards were written all over his face; he didn’t wear the silver sheep necklace that Su Wen bought, but he had never taken off Lu Xiaoxi’s dog tooth bracelet…

He wanted to introduce everyone to this lovely petite girl named Lu Xiaoxi, who was his childhood sweetheart. Aren’t you envious?

His little childhood sweetheart was becoming more and more beautiful.

“What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a beauty before?” Lu Xiaoxi shook her hair, exhaled a breath of stale air, and glanced sideways at the big face of the person next to her, murmuring.

“We see each other every day.”

Lu Xiaoxi felt sweet inside, “Do you drink yogurt?”

“I do, I want the same flavor as yours.”

“By the way, bring me a bottle.”

Li Mu thought Lu Xiaoxi wanted to get one for herself, but it turned out she wanted him to run the errand. He exaggeratedly muttered, “In the end, I was wronged,” and got up to get the yogurt, also grabbing a bit of fruit from the fridge to eat.

These yogurts were given by Sister Xia not long ago, with a shelf life of only fourteen days, retailing at three yuan per small bottle.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome, just call me a gentleman.” Li Mu put on a serious face.

The petite girl crossed her legs, opened the yogurt lid, stuck out her little pink tongue to lick off the yogurt on the lid, and then sipped through the straw little by little.

She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, exposing her jade-like arms and calves.

Li Mu glanced at her ankle skin, which was tender and pink, then looked at his own, which resembled dead skin; truly, there was no harm without comparison.

“Why don’t you sit like a duck?”

“Why should I sit like a duck?”

“Sitting like a duck was once praised as the cutest sitting posture for girls.”

“So what? What does that have to do with me?”

Tilting her little head, Lu Xiaoxi changed from crossing her legs to crossing her ankles, her feet shaking slightly.

“Crossing your ankles is very harmful to your body, and you’re still doing it.”

Li Mu tapped her knee, urging her to change her posture.

Lu Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue, playful, and crossed her feet on the coffee table.

Her round toes rubbed against each other, making a faint rubbing sound.

The computer was playing the sweet drama that Lu Xiaoxi and Xia Yuanyuan were watching, which Li Mu had found from the records.

As expected, Lu Xiaoxi was engrossed in it.

Was it really that good?

He wanted to see what tricks these sweet dramas used to capture the hearts of young girls, as even nineteen-year-old Lu Xiaoxi and eight-year-old Xia Yuanyuan loved watching them.

After watching for a while, he discovered that the complex relationships in these sweet dramas were no less intricate than a spider’s web… Can you believe that among the four characters, the male lead, male second lead, female lead, and female second lead, there could be plots involving false identities, vendettas, brothers turning against each other, and love triangles?

Then came another twist: someone had a car accident, followed by a sad love song lamenting the hard-won love…

After just one episode, Li Mu’s brain crashed from the overload of junk information; he couldn’t appreciate this kind of art.

There was nothing he could do; his little childhood sweetheart liked to watch it, and he was different; he liked his little childhood sweetheart.

Li Mu also propped his feet on the coffee table, rubbing against the petite girl’s foot.

“Don’t touch me; you must have athlete’s foot.” Lu Xiaoxi curled her toes and shifted slightly to the side.

“Okay, then you’ll be the one to get infected.”

“Hey, don’t rub; it tickles.” Lu Xiaoxi’s foot was itchy, and she looked extremely aggrieved, reaching down to scratch it and then wiping her hand on Li Mu’s clothes.

“Oh no, your hand has athlete’s foot too; I won’t hold your hand anymore.” Li Mu made a disgusted face, patting the spot where Lu Xiaoxi had wiped.

“Really? That’s great; you can’t hold my hand anymore.”

“Hehe, we’ll talk about that later; for now, just hold it for a bit.”

Li Mu shamelessly pulled the petite girl’s hand over, massaging it from her elbow down to each finger, occasionally pinching hard enough to leave a red mark.

Lu Xiaoxi’s mouth curled into a smile.

She remembered her childhood.

Back then, she was very proactive, wanting to hold Li Mu’s hand every day, tugging at his clothes; otherwise, she wouldn’t even walk, truly super duper fond of Li Mu. Although she still liked him a lot now, since they were only half childhood sweethearts, there was only one super.

Now it was Li Mu’s turn to take the initiative to hold her hand. Perhaps this was what was called “relationship balance”; how I treated you before, you now treat me the same way.

With a sweet drama to watch and a handsome guy to massage her, she felt like she was living a noble life.

If only Li Mu could grow another hand to feed her some fruit.

Just as she was about to squint her eyes in enjoyment, a video call came in.

Seeing that it was her mother, Lu Xiaoxi immediately sat up straight, pulled her hand away, and distanced herself from Li Mu.

As soon as the video connected, a fat cat’s face appeared on the phone; Little Fei was curiously examining the phone, not understanding why its owner was trapped inside this thing.

“Little Fei, where’s my mom?” Lu Xiaoxi wanted to kiss Little Fei’s face again.

“Meow meow meow meow—”

“Oh, okay, okay.”

Li Mu’s eyes widened.

What was going on? They could communicate like this?

His little childhood sweetheart, who had just reconciled with him, had special abilities?

“Pfft, what kind of expression is that!” Lu Xiaoxi suddenly couldn’t hold back, pointing at Li Mu’s nose and laughing at him.

Li Mu had definitely believed it just now; he was really quite silly.

“Are you messing with me?”

“You’re just too silly.”

“It’s okay; you’re silly too.” Li Mu shamelessly leaned closer.

“Hey, you guys aren’t asleep yet.”

On the other end of the phone, Qin Xiaoqian, who was applying a face mask, asked in confusion.

“Not yet; it’s the weekend, so staying up late is fine.” Lu Xiaoxi explained.

“Haha, I thought you were in your room. What are you guys doing now?”

“Watching TV. Is there something up, Mom?”

“Nothing, just calling to check on you and see how Little Mu is doing. By the way, you haven’t bullied Little Mu, have you?”

“Aunt Qin, I was bullied terribly by your good daughter; she just ordered me to get her yogurt!” Just as Lu Xiaoxi was speaking, Li Mu instantly turned into a drama king, leaning over to complain to Qin Xiaoqian.

Although anyone with eyes could tell that Li Mu was just messing around, Qin Xiaoqian still had to pretend.

“Xiaoxi, did you bully Little Mu?!”

“Mom, can you see clearly? My hand and his hand are so different; if this guy punched me, I would cry for a long time.” Lu Xiaoxi kicked him with her foot, then turned the camera to Li Mu’s arm, and Li Mu cooperatively flexed his muscles.

“Okay, you two need to get along well, understand? Don’t argue, and definitely don’t have any other conflicts.”

“Got it, Mom. Let me tell you, I went to the zoo today to see the giant pandas…”

…

Lu Xiaoxi began chatting with Qin Xiaoqian, recounting everything that had happened in the past few days.

From when Li Mu started learning to cook to today’s trip to the zoo, she only omitted the part about the two of them becoming childhood sweethearts again.

After all, in the eyes of both families, they had always been the best childhood sweethearts.
