Chapter 129: After Being Shy Enough, Come Out and Give a Kiss (Is There Something to Say?)

Li Mu hung up the phone and quickened his pace.

He went back to let Lu Xiaoxi kiss him.

After buying what he needed, Li Mu did not forget to buy a large tub of ice cream.

It was meant to be fed to a certain little pig later.

Upon returning home, Li Mu washed his hands and opened his bedroom door.

What greeted his eyes was Lu Xiaoxi curled up in a chair.

Lu Xiaoxi wore his headphones, which changed colors, dyeing his hair in rainbow hues.

He should have known to buy those headphones with cat ears, which had a more girlish style.

Not wearing cat ear accessories was fine, but wearing cat ear headphones was not bad either.

“Look, look, watching a sweet drama again, don’t get too silly.” Li Mu stood behind her, rubbing her face with both hands.

When Li Mu opened the door, Lu Xiaoxi already knew he was back; she had long been mentally prepared for his playful actions.

“What else to watch if not sweet dramas?” Lu Xiaoxi puffed out her cheeks.

Li Mu brushed away her anger, and Lu Xiaoxi let out a sound like a fart.

“Look at me.”

“…… Ugly.”

“You better not speak without conscience; I can at least be considered a handsome guy.”

“Narcissist.”

“Being narcissistic is better than being self-deprecating.” Li Mu turned the chair, and the girl curled her legs to face him.

Due to the height difference, Lu Xiaoxi’s face was just aligned with Li Mu’s lower abdomen.

Li Mu coughed twice, quickly suppressing those strange thoughts, and wrapped his arms around the girl, lifting her effortlessly.

The girl, who weighed less than a hundred pounds, was like a little seal, obediently nestled in Li Mu’s arms, but once on the bed, she kept flailing and immediately wrapped herself in the blanket.

“Aren’t you going to eat sour snacks or ice cream?” Li Mu laughed; how could she eat like this?

“Eat, bring it over.”

Li Mu went out to bring the food in.

“Feed me.” After Lu Xiaoxi said this, she opened her mouth, waiting for someone to feed her.

Now she was trapped in the blanket, with no hands; what else could she wait for?

“Come out and eat by yourself.”

Lu Xiaoxi huffed in dissatisfaction, kicking Li Mu’s butt like a little caterpillar.

“Okay, okay, I’ll feed you; who told me I’m a little pig caretaker.” Li Mu helplessly thought how cute his little green plum was.

He had no choice but to feed her.

Li Mu fed Lu Xiaoxi piece by piece, like feeding a pig.

He felt something was missing, so he clicked his tongue, took off his computer headphones, and turned up the volume.

Without the sound of sweet dramas to distract him, all he could hear was Lu Xiaoxi chewing, and she kept her eyes on him while eating.

He felt uncomfortable, even having some unhealthy thoughts about pressing Lu Xiaoxi down on the bed…

“Is there more? Is there more?” Seeing Li Mu dazed while holding a skewer, Lu Xiaoxi kicked his butt, continuing to wait for food.

“Coming, coming…”

The sour snacks were meant to whet the appetite, and since they hadn’t bought much, the two quickly finished them off.

“Eat ice cream.” Li Mu went out again to bring the ice cream back.

He used a spoon from home, took a scoop for himself, and under Lu Xiaoxi’s expectant gaze, he kept eating scoop after scoop.

A big question mark appeared on Lu Xiaoxi’s forehead.

What about hers?

Seeing her little expression, Li Mu stopped teasing her and scooped a small spoonful to feed her.

Lu Xiaoxi smacked her little lips, making Li Mu drool; scared, he quickly took a big bite of ice cream, the price being frozen teeth and a headache.

Eating ice cream on a cold day felt pretty good.

“I want to buy a small table.” Li Mu diverted his attention.

“What do you want to buy it for?”

“To put on the bed; it will be colder later, and you can watch TV under the blanket on the bed. It’s inconvenient to put it on your lap; it falls off with a little movement.”

“That makes sense.” The little caterpillar girl nodded, awkwardly shifting her body, resting her head against Li Mu’s leg, making it easier to feed her.

Lu Xiaoxi was lying down, while Li Mu sat on the edge of the bed; to avoid spilling ice cream on the bed, he was very careful while feeding her.

The spoon came out of Lu Xiaoxi’s mouth, sometimes pulling a strand of glistening ice cream.

“Gross, your saliva.” Li Mu, somewhat perverted, sniffed the spoon.

“You’re a total pervert!” Lu Xiaoxi blushed, who would a gentleman sniff a spoon someone else had eaten from?

“Right? I never denied it.” Li Mu poked her face, rubbed her lips, and watched Lu Xiaoxi’s expression change as she tried to bite his finger.

“Lu Xiaoxi.”

“What?”

“You haven’t kissed me yet; you promised.”

“Kissed? I already did.” Lu Xiaoxi’s voice was low, even quieter than a mosquito, and Li Mu almost couldn’t hear her.

Seemingly recalling something, Lu Xiaoxi quickly added, “Just now, blowing a kiss counts as a kiss.”

Li Mu almost spat blood, “Does that count?”

“Why doesn’t it count?”

“I don’t care; I didn’t feel anything.” Li Mu put the ice cream down, kicked off his slippers, rolled onto the bed, and pinned Lu Xiaoxi down.

Lu Xiaoxi realized she couldn’t move and felt a bit panicked.

Of course, the culprit preventing Lu Xiaoxi from moving was not Li Mu, but the blanket she had wrapped herself in.

The two pairs of eyes locked onto each other.

Li Mu’s intense gaze made Lu Xiaoxi’s heart race, his warm breath brushing against her face, and her eyes quickly became misty.

“Whoa, don’t do that; I didn’t do anything; this is slander, you know?” Li Mu also panicked; what was going on?

“What do you want to do…”

“Lu Xiaoxi, we are childhood sweethearts, right?”

“Half, half…”

“…… Ugh, I worked hard to create the atmosphere; can you be a bit more perceptive?” Li Mu tapped the girl’s forehead, his tone somewhat reproachful.

“You’re creating an atmosphere?” Lu Xiaoxi was flustered but still couldn’t forget her catchphrase, which combined made it somewhat… ridiculous.

“If you don’t kiss me, I’ll have to kiss you back.”

“Kiss? Turn around.”

“I meant a kiss on the lips, not a kiss on the cheek.”

Lu Xiaoxi was taken aback, her little head processing what Li Mu had said.

Nine words, why did they sound so unfamiliar?

Kiss… kiss on the lips?

“We’re childhood sweethearts; even if it’s half, it should be more intimate than a couple. Couples can kiss; why can’t we?”

“You’re just talking nonsense, sophistry; you just want to kiss me!” Flustered, Lu Xiaoxi was still sharp; how could she not know Li Mu’s bad intentions?

“You really read people well.” Li Mu chuckled, playing dumb; it was expected that Lu Xiaoxi would see through him.

There were no secrets between them as childhood sweethearts.

“Little Pig Lu asked me to kiss her, please, please, I already gave you my first kiss.”

“What? What first kiss?”

“When we were little, you caught me and kissed me; my first kiss, second kiss, and third and fourth kisses were all taken by you.”

Lu Xiaoxi turned as red as a tomato, letting out a soft whimper without realizing it, curling up in the blanket.

Back then, she didn’t understand anything, only knowing to cling to Li Mu, being super proactive, while Li Mu was very reluctant to be kissed.

Now it was the other way around; it was Li Mu being super proactive and super domineering…

Shameless!

“Did you know? Human lip cells refresh every three months, so I never took your first kiss; your first kiss has already recovered!” Lu Xiaoxi’s little head was overloaded, running at full speed.

“That’s a behavior of a scumbag.”

“I’m not a scumbag!” Lu Xiaoxi quickly took off her scumbag hat, peeking out her big eyes; just as she saw Li Mu’s face clearly, she immediately shrank back, “Why do you want to kiss me?”

“Because it’s nice to kiss, I love kissing.” Li Mu tapped Lu Xiaoxi’s forehead through the blanket, not sure if she could feel it, his tone somewhat excited, “Are you done being shy? If you’re done being shy, come out and give a kiss.”

Lu Xiaoxi did not refuse but needed time to be shy.

He understood Lu Xiaoxi the best.

“……” Lu Xiaoxi revealed her big eyes again; this time she and Li Mu locked eyes for two seconds before shrinking back, her tone muffled,

“The necessary procedures can’t be skipped; you, you need to report first…”
