Chapter 160: Those Close to Li Mu are Fools

Struggling to resist the impulse to playfully kiss Lu Xiaoxi, Li Mu finished his four thousand words for the day, clenched his fist, and the joints made a crisp sound.

There were also a pair of fair little feet on his waist, and the owner of those feet was happily playing Dou Di Zhu on Li Mu’s shoulder, completely unaware that danger was about to arrive.

He took the phone down, and under the surprised gaze of the girl, he clicked on the trust option, placed it on the coffee table, twisted his body, and turned around. He held the girl’s waist and hips, lifting her up, and sat back down on the sofa. As a result, Lu Xiaoxi was forced to straddle his legs.

“Lu Xiaoxi, are you playing with fire? Don’t you know I have a little crush on you?” Li Mu said with a mischievous smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist, her little belly pressed tightly against his abdomen.

If Lu Xiaoxi hadn’t slightly tilted her head back, they might have already kissed.

“Stinky Li Mu!” Lu Xiaoxi said fearfully, using both hands to prevent her chest from getting too close to Li Mu.

“Let me have a little fun, okay?”

Li Mu’s voice was very soft, each ending note teasing Lu Xiaoxi’s heartstrings.

“Okay, what fun? No way!” Lu Xiaoxi said nervously, “Are you feeling pent up?!”

“A little.”

“Didn’t you just go to the bathroom to do something bad?!”

“How long has it been…” Li Mu said with a bitter smile.

Lu Xiaoxi became shy, feeling the growing sensation on Li Mu’s leg. Her eyes blinked several times, wanting to say something but hesitating, unsure if she should get up now.

Her shyness only made Li Mu feel a bit more tense.

“Why are you so easily like that?!”

“…I don’t know…”

“Then, go to the bathroom quickly, I’ll wait for you to come out!”

“I won’t, you get down, it’ll be fine in a bit.”

“…” Lu Xiaoxi, flustered, carefully climbed down slowly.

There were no pillows on the sofa, so Lu Xiaoxi half-closed her eyes and brought out a pink little pillow from the room, tossing it to Li Mu.

Li Mu understood and covered it on his thigh, taking a deep breath a couple of times, feeling somewhat awkward.

It was easy to end up like this when he was with Lu Xiaoxi.

Wait a minute.

This pillow wouldn’t be the one Lu Xiaoxi used for sleeping, would it?

At this moment, Li Mu felt embarrassed again. Just thinking about the pillow he covered on his leg being used by Lu Xiaoxi felt… strangely stimulating?

Actually, it wasn’t necessary.

He took off the pillow, pulled his jacket, and covered everything, although it was still quite obvious.

Even though the TV was still playing sounds, he felt that this home was exceptionally quiet.

Quiet to the point of being deafening.

“Do you do that when you’re alone usually?”

“Uh, sometimes I guess.”

“Why do I feel like you’re always like that!” Lu Xiaoxi glared at him, keeping her distance.

“I can’t help it; it’s easy to be like this when I’m with you…” Li Mu felt his face getting hot, even his hair started to itch. He began to scratch his ears and rub his face to distract himself.

Lu Xiaoxi didn’t know what to say, just leaning against the wall, watching him from afar.

In a hurry to leave, she hadn’t even put on her shoes, and before going to bed, she still had to wash her feet.

“Lu Xiaoxi, come sit over here.”

“You’re still like that.”

“It’s fine, it’ll be over soon.”

Lu Xiaoxi hesitated for a while before slowly walking over, sitting at a distance of at least one body length away from him.

From time to time, she glanced at Li Mu, and when his unusual behavior gradually faded, Lu Xiaoxi shifted her little butt and leaned beside him.

“Hehe, you’re so funny like that.”

“Are you serious?” Li Mu’s mouth twitched.

Who was it that was so shy they ran far away just now? Now that the shyness was over, their courage started to grow, right?

“You look like a monkey when you’re flustered and looking for something to do.”

“From now on, there will be things to do.”

“What do you mean?”

“Hehe, it’s nothing. Do you have a spare key? I’ll sneak over to sleep with you at midnight.” Li Mu pinched her lips.

“No way, and my house doesn’t have a spare key. Even if it did, I wouldn’t give it to you.”

“Then you’ll be sleeping alone tonight. Are you used to it?”

“Haha, who is it that always clings to sleep with someone else? It’s you! You’re the one who can’t sleep alone!” Lu Xiaoxi poked his arm with her finger, pressing down hard. This was the girl’s confidence.

It was always Li Mu who sought her out to sleep together; who didn’t know who couldn’t sleep without whom?

Li Mu grabbed her finger and gently pulled her over.

“You’re right; I can’t sleep without you.”

“Then, you can think of me while you sleep.”

“Is that okay?”

“I meant for you to think of me while sleeping, not to think of that!”

“Oh, oh, hehe.”

“Hey, what are you talking about!”

“I haven’t kissed you yet today, so if you give me a kiss, I’ll go back to sleep.”

Li Mu said this and didn’t give the girl a chance to speak, leaning down to kiss her.

Their lips met, and the girl closed her eyes, quietly feeling the delicate kiss, breathing in each other’s air.

After a long time, the air became quite sweet.

“Good night, Lu Xiaoxi.” As their lips parted, Li Mu smiled at her, then kissed her cheek again before closing his laptop.

“Wait!”

“What’s wrong?” Li Mu had already stood up, preparing to leave.

Lu Xiaoxi also stood up, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his lips again.

This time, it was much shorter than before, only two or three seconds.

“Good night.” Lu Xiaoxi imitated Li Mu, kissing his cheek, feeling unsatisfied, and then tiptoeing to kiss his forehead, finally feeling satisfied.

“You really can’t bear to part with me. How about you leave a door open for me, and I’ll sneak in…”

“Go back!” Lu Xiaoxi didn’t wait for him to finish and started to push him.

She pushed him to the door, shut it with a bang, and then leaned against the door, peeking at him through the peephole.

Li Mu seemed to know, throwing a flirtatious glance at the peephole and blowing a kiss before turning around to take out his keys to open his own door.

Lu Xiaoxi felt like she had been infected with Li Mu’s childishness. When he blew a kiss, she instinctively reached out to catch it.

Looking at her clenched fist, it seemed to contain Li Mu’s kiss, and once she opened it, it would be gone.

She thought about filming a video, tossing Li Mu’s kiss into the toilet, letting him kiss the toilet, and then sending the video to Li Mu to mock him, just like he did last time. But that was just a thought; soon, she pressed her palm against her lips.

Kissing once was the same.

So childish…

Lu Xiaoxi silently criticized herself.

Those who are close to ink become black, those who are close to vermilion become red, and those who are close to Li Mu become fools!

Li Mu had just returned home, and his parents were already resting.

He had nothing much to say, took a sip of water, went to the bathroom, and returned to his room, starting to do research on the three cities he had decided to travel to.

He determined which city to go to based on transportation, convenience, hotel prices, and the right timing and conditions.

Before he knew it, it was already two in the morning.

He listed the pros and cons of the three cities based on his situation, created a suggestion document, and sent it to Lu Xiaoxi. Regardless of whether Lu Xiaoxi had other ideas, he wanted to confirm with her.

Of course, he didn’t want Lu Xiaoxi to see him working hard at two in the morning for the sake of seeing snow, nor did he want any so-called praise.

He simply wanted to send a message to Lu Xiaoxi at this time to see if she was asleep, that was all.

As he expected, Lu Xiaoxi replied after a while.

He happily sent Lu Xiaoxi a cheeky emoji.

【Idiot Li】: See, you couldn’t sleep without me, right? (smug sunglasses)

【Little Pig Lu】: I was woken up by your message sound; I didn’t turn on silent.

【Idiot Li】: (sliding kneel.jpg)

【Idiot Li】: Forgive me.

【Little Pig Lu】: Hmm, it’s fine; I’m going to sleep.

【Idiot Li】: Sleep, sleep; I’m going to sleep too.

After the messages, he charged his phone, set it aside, and comfortably lay on the bed.

After squinting for a while, he opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Without the fragrant and soft little crush, he couldn’t sleep.
