Chapter 148: Unintentionally Turning 180° Across Half the Classroom

Every day after the heavy snow was cold.

The day after they kissed, the two of them went to school as usual.

Courses had gradually announced exam news, with the next exam being tomorrow.

From then until the holiday, it was all exam week.

Students who were strict with themselves studied harder, while those who were usually lazy also began to cram.

In short, the already good learning atmosphere became even better.

Even Li Mu and the other two’s gaming group turned into a study group.

Lin Sheng and Old Yang usually weren’t not studying; they just played games during class time, with grades generally at an average level. Under Lu Xiaoxi’s supervision, Li Mu had to pay much more attention during class, and his learning efficiency was very high. After winning first place in the last group project, Li Mu naturally became the object of admiration for the other two.

Digital media required practical operation, and some operations could easily become confusing when following online tutorials. Having a big brother who could teach on-site was very important.

In just one class, Lin Sheng called Li Mu three times, making Li Mu walk to the back row to teach him each time.

As the semester was about to end, teachers weren’t very strict during class. Many students were moving around in the classroom, some asking teachers, some asking classmates, while the teacher was also walking around, waiting for students to ask questions. Li Mu moving around during class was naturally not a problem.

“Brother Mu, help! How do I do this?!”

“This one clearly lacks a step; you need to get this right first… Got it?”

“A bit confused, but I roughly understand.” Lin Sheng nodded, seeming to understand.

“Does Old Yang have any questions?” Li Mu looked over at Old Yang.

Old Yang was pondering his assignment, “No, if I have any, I’ll see if I can ask the teacher. If the teacher is busy, I’ll ask you.”

“Okay, did you hear that, you dog? If you have questions, ask the teacher. Don’t just call Brother Mu every day; I don’t have a brother as dumb as you.” Whether online or offline, Li Mu wouldn’t be polite to Lin Sheng about such daily trivialities.

This guy was both bad at games and loved to play, often dragging him down.

Li Mu turned around, just wanting to return to Lu Xiaoxi’s side, when he suddenly noticed Lu Xiaoxi was asking the teacher a question, and the teacher was naturally sitting in his seat.

He had no choice but to stand at the back, saying nothing, waiting for the teacher to leave, while feeling a bit puzzled.

Why not save the questions for him?

It was at this moment that the counselor sent a notice in the group.

It was about the holiday schedule and precautions.

All counted, there were less than twenty days until the holiday.

It seemed he needed to discuss with Lu Xiaoxi when to go home, as train tickets for students during the holiday were hard to get.

After the teacher left, Li Mu sat down in his seat.

“What did you ask the teacher?”

“Just about this step; I didn’t quite understand.”

“Ask me, why ask the teacher?”

“I was just about to ask you when you left, and the teacher happened to pass by. What’s the big deal?” Lu Xiaoxi blinked her big eyes.

“Well, it’s not a big deal, just asking. By the way, the group already has the holiday notice. Do you want to go home early or later?”

“Definitely early! Hehe, I want to go home and play for a few days. We can go see the snow. I saw online that many places in the south have snow, but it doesn’t snow here.” Lu Xiaoxi was dressed warmly, making her face look small, and her big eyes sparkled when she talked about seeing snow.

Li Mu couldn’t help it; if they were at home, he would definitely chase after her for a kiss.

He couldn’t resist the little green plum’s kisses, especially since yesterday, he had already managed to pry open Lu Xiaoxi’s lips.

If he could extend his tongue once, he could definitely do it a second time, a third time, until Lu Xiaoxi also began to respond to him.

Just thinking about it felt perverted.

“Are you thinking about perverted things?” Lu Xiaoxi stared into his eyes, feeling that he had ulterior motives. Ensuring no one was nearby, she quietly scolded him.

“No, I was thinking about what to do after going home.”

“What about?”

“After going home, I can’t just kiss anywhere; there are people everywhere, and everyone knows each other upstairs and downstairs. Even if you and I don’t know each other, our parents do. If we get caught kissing or hugging, with the strength of that group of informants downstairs, the whole neighborhood would know within a day. Do you believe it?”

“…… Then, I won’t kiss or hug when I go back.” Lu Xiaoxi felt that Li Mu made sense.

It seemed reasonable; she immediately said, “Why do you think I would kiss you outside?”

Not to mention that many people in her hometown were acquaintances, even here, where not many people knew them, she wouldn’t dare to kiss Li Mu.

That was still too open; her small courage and little sense of shame couldn’t handle it.

“Oh right, my parents work from Monday to Friday, and your parents aren’t around. When the time comes…”

“Get lost, get lost, you’re so disgusting.” Lu Xiaoxi’s pretty face turned a shade of red, and she kicked Li Mu under the table, “There are still more than ten days left, and you’re already talking about this.”

Starting to plan how to kiss and hug when they got home, by then, wouldn’t she be held and kissed by Li Mu?

Kissed to the point of weakness in her legs.

A class wasn’t long.

Li Mu almost ran through the campus counting the days. Tomorrow was the last day, and if he didn’t run enough times before the deadline, he would fail.

After finishing today’s run, he had enough counts.

Exercise could refresh a person. After running two kilometers, Li Mu felt refreshed, but his throat was hoarse, so he hurriedly asked Lu Xiaoxi for water.

After gulping down a mouthful of water, Li Mu felt much better, wiped the water stains off his lips, and grinned at Lu Xiaoxi, showing his big white teeth.

“You have pickled cabbage leaves on your teeth…”

“Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Li Mu quickly covered his mouth and decided never to eat pickled cabbage buns again.

He had just been chatting with Lin Sheng, and thinking about smiling with a piece of pickled cabbage on his teeth made Li Mu feel embarrassed all over.

“Mirror, mirror, hurry and get it off.”

“Hahaha, I was just kidding!” Lu Xiaoxi laughed brightly, “I remember in your first year of middle school, I don’t know if you ate fermented black beans or what, but your teeth got all black and you didn’t even know. During evening self-study, you were reading a novel and grinning, your teeth looked like they had holes in them, hahaha.”

“Were you secretly watching me in middle school?” Li Mu’s mouth twitched.

When he was addicted to games in middle school, he didn’t talk much. Most of the time was spent reviewing games and reading novels and comics. If something got stuck on his teeth, it wasn’t certain that anyone would notice, and even if they did, they might not tell him.

But Lu Xiaoxi, this person who didn’t get along with him, noticed.

Lu Xiaoxi had been paying attention to him in middle school, and he felt so touched.

“No!” Lu Xiaoxi immediately covered her mouth, pretending she hadn’t said anything, but under Li Mu’s direct gaze, she felt guilty and could only explain softly, “I-I saw it unintentionally.”

“Stop lying; I sat in the back row and you sat in the front row. Your ‘unintentionally’ refers to crossing half the classroom and turning 180 degrees, right?”

Li Mu saw Lu Xiaoxi shrink back like an ostrich, feeling itchy.

He wanted to pull the cute little girl into his arms.

“You, don’t bother me; I want to go back. I’m freezing.” Lu Xiaoxi shyly ran away.

Li Mu smiled, picked up his computer bag, and quickly followed her, playfully pulling down Lu Xiaoxi’s hat to cover her eyes, then walked in front of her to block her.

When Lu Xiaoxi lifted her hat, the first thing she saw was Li Mu’s smiling face.
