Chapter 127: The Ice Cream Cone

The afternoon class was very simple.

After class, Li Mu went to the playground to run the campus run again.

It was still as cold as today, and Li Mu was still wearing a hoodie.

“Water.” After Li Mu finished running, Lu Xiaoxi took out a water bottle from her small bag and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu calmly opened the little rabbit lid and drank from the bitten straw.

During military training, Lu Xiaoxi even let him open the big lid to drink.

At that time, he actually dared to run to the sick bay to find Lu Xiaoxi, which was quite bold; fortunately, there were no instructors watching in the sick bay, otherwise, he would have definitely been scolded.

It turned out that back then, he wanted to be with Lu Xiaoxi so much that he didn’t even want to wait for that little bit of military training time.

He didn’t even realize it himself.

“Eh, there’s saliva…”

After Li Mu finished drinking, he pulled a short thread from the straw, which he didn’t see, but Lu Xiaoxi did. She made a disgusted expression, wiped the straw with a tissue, and stuffed the tissue into Li Mu’s pocket.

“Isn’t it cold?” Li Mu grinned and opened his arms, waiting for the little green plum to come into his embrace.

“It’s not cold; I wore a hoodie.” Lu Xiaoxi pulled down the zipper a bit, revealing the reddish hoodie inside.

“Look, we are in couple colors.” Li Mu paused and added, “You didn’t buy it on purpose, did you?”

“Nonsense, this is the color of childhood sweethearts. What do you mean on purpose? You don’t want to be childhood sweethearts with me, right?”

“How could I not want to? If I didn’t want to, why would I look for you to make up?” Li Mu took the initiative to hug her, rubbing his face against Lu Xiaoxi’s.

“There’s a lot of people!” Lu Xiaoxi playfully pushed Li Mu away. At this time in the afternoon, no matter how cold the weather was, there were many students exercising, possibly doing the campus run or just students who loved to exercise; in any case, there were a lot of people.

It’s fine when there are few people, but when there are many, Lu Xiaoxi becomes shy, feeling like everyone is watching them when she is close to Li Mu.

“Then let’s hug again when we go back; anyway, we have to go back soon, no need to rush.” Li Mu let go of her, put on his backpack, and it was obvious what he wanted to do with his hands.

“Did you kiss me last night?” Lu Xiaoxi suddenly spoke while holding Li Mu’s hand.

“Did I?”

“Stop pretending.”

“I don’t think so.”

Li Mu decided to activate the “Invincible Face” skill.

Once this skill is activated, it can immunize against one attack from the little green plum.

Just as Lu Xiaoxi was about to say something angry, her stomach suddenly growled.

She touched her little belly and pouted; she had eaten breakfast and lunch together quite early, and she was already hungry. Now her stomach was starting to rebel.

“Your stomach is growling.”

“I know!” She rolled her eyes, broke free from Li Mu’s hand, and rummaged through her small bag, taking out a separately packaged little dorayaki.

“How come this bag has everything?” Li Mu was surprised.

Previously, on the high-speed train, she had pulled out two egg yolk pies from this bag, and after going out, she could even pull out a small umbrella.

If someone didn’t know better, they would think Lu Xiaoxi was a human-shaped Doraemon.

“Mind your own business, hurry up and treat me to a meal; I want to eat roasted duck legs.”

“Okay, okay, okay, domineering woman, unreasonable woman.” Li Mu muttered softly, of course, so that Lu Xiaoxi could hear.

Lu Xiaoxi puffed up her small chest, which had no fluctuations under her clothes, and the little green plum had a big heart, so she wouldn’t argue with Li Mu.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Li Mu ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish with a braised chicken leg, and he also ordered a roasted duck leg for Lu Xiaoxi.

Lu Xiaoxi also ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish; she wasn’t satisfied with her own food and wanted to take Li Mu’s sausage to eat.

“It’s a bit greasy; do you want to eat an ice cream cone?” Li Mu didn’t even look up.

“Is the ice cream cone like cow dung ice cream?” Lu Xiaoxi gestured with her chopsticks, mimicking the three-layer tire shape that was wider at the bottom and pointed at the top, resembling cow dung.

“How did you compare delicious ice cream cones to cow dung…”

“I haven’t eaten it yet.”

“Let’s eat it later; we’ll buy one and share it.”

“Is it expensive? Why only buy one?” Lu Xiaoxi blinked her big eyes.

If it’s expensive, she wouldn’t want to eat it.

“It’s not expensive; it’s three yuan. I mainly want to eat it with you.”

“!!” Lu Xiaoxi’s face turned red in an instant, and the roots of her ears turned pink, her pretty face blushing.

The little girl’s brain seemed to short-circuit, almost smoking.

She pouted and let out two soft hums, kicking Li Mu’s calf under the table.

Who told Li Mu to suddenly say such embarrassing things? She had to kick him.

“Hurry up and eat; I still want to go home and hug you later.” Li Mu grinned as he finished the remaining food, leaving half a braised chicken leg on Lu Xiaoxi’s plate.

“No hugging!” Lu Xiaoxi ignored him and sped up her eating, quickly finishing her roasted duck leg and then taking a bite of Li Mu’s half braised chicken leg.

After finishing, she didn’t forget to wipe her greasy lips with a tissue. She didn’t wipe Li Mu’s, letting him feel uncomfortable; who told him to say such embarrassing things? This was the deserved punishment.

As expected, Li Mu kept licking his lips while walking; after eating greasy food, his lips were always sticky, and that’s how Li Mu was now.

“Indeed, I still want to buy an ice cream cone.” Passing by the little shop that sold ice cream cones, Li Mu turned around and went to line up. The weather was cool, and there weren’t many people buying; in less than half a minute, he had already come out with an ice cream cone.

There was only one.

When he came out, Li Mu took a big bite and then grinned.

It seemed he had taken too big of a bite and got a headache.

“What about mine?” Lu Xiaoxi blinked her beautiful big eyes, looking extremely innocent.

She thought Li Mu would buy one for her.

“The shop is right here; go buy it yourself.” Li Mu poked her forehead and teased, “Mainly, I need it to moisten my lips; otherwise, it’s greasy and uncomfortable.”

“…… I want to eat too; give me yours, and you go buy a new one.” Lu Xiaoxi reached out to him.

Li Mu looked at the ice cream cone in his hand, then at Lu Xiaoxi, opened his mouth, took a big bite of the cream part of the ice cream cone, and stuffed the remaining end of the cone into Lu Xiaoxi’s hand.

Lu Xiaoxi: ……

Preparing to start a little bamboo horse clearance sale, whoever wants it can take it.

“Just kidding, look at you about to cry; if someone didn’t know better, they would think I did something to you.” Li Mu laughed as he rubbed her face, “You are so cute; I must have contributed to that.”

“I was born cute; don’t flatter yourself.” Lu Xiaoxi said coldly, swatting Li Mu’s hand away.

“Wait a minute; I’ll go buy you one.”

Li Mu turned around and bought another one, and when he came out, he took another big bite.

“Here.”

“Um, it’s delicious.” Lu Xiaoxi licked the cream with her little pink tongue, her eyes lighting up.

“You got hair in it.” Li Mu looked at her with an ambiguous expression, helping her lift the hair from the corner of her mouth.

Her already pink lips looked even more tempting now.

“What to do? I want to kiss you.” Li Mu openly confessed to the little green plum, saying whatever he wanted.

“No kissing, no kissing.”

“Why didn’t you go buy one yourself? Why did you have to make me buy it? Are you out of pocket money?” Li Mu took the girl’s hand again.

Looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, it seemed like it would be even colder tonight.

Tonight… could he also sleep with Lu Xiaoxi?

“I don’t want to buy; the one you bought is the sweetest.” Lu Xiaoxi ate the ice cream cone quite elegantly, licking it little by little, unlike Li Mu, who took big bites and easily got a headache.

“Why are you speaking so sweetly? Where did you learn this flirting technique?”

“It’s not flirting technique; it’s childhood sweetheart technique, invented by myself.”

“Little Pig Lu, although what you said is a bit cheesy, I have to admit you succeeded.”

A certain little pig’s fist hardened.
