Chapter 161: A Bit Exciting…

The next afternoon, Li Mu barely woke up.

He had a bit of insomnia yesterday, lying in bed for a long time without being able to sleep, and he ended up sleeping until noon.

His parents knew his character and probably thought he stayed up late playing games. Hmph, they didn’t expect that he didn’t stay up late; he just had a simple bout of insomnia.

He glanced at his phone; Lu Xiaoxi had sent him messages at nine and ten-thirty, asking if he was awake.

At that time, he was still dreaming.

He sent a food emoji, then long-pressed to input and sent a voice message saying, “Just woke up, come over for breakfast.”

It was the weekend, and his parents weren’t working or at home; they were probably chatting downstairs, as older generations liked to do.

After washing up, Li Mu put the porridge in the rice cooker to heat it up, lifted the lid on the dish, and saw that the oil in the pork had solidified; that needed heating too.

Just as he was about to get to work heating it up, the doorbell rang. His parents had a key, so it must be Lu Xiaoxi without a doubt.

“Little Green Plum~ I missed you so much!” Li Mu put down what he was doing to open the door, and the moment he saw Little Green Plum, he hugged her in.

Lu Xiaoxi was still wearing the pajamas from yesterday, loose and baggy; if she didn’t go out, she wouldn’t change all day. Li Mu’s home was also home, so it didn’t count as going out.

Suddenly being lifted with her feet off the ground, Lu Xiaoxi felt a moment of tension, but when she saw there was no one else in the room, that tension dissipated.

She rubbed against Li Mu, inhaling the rich scent of him just waking up, and her face slowly turned red.

“Don’t you miss me?” Li Mu asked, noticing the little person in his arms was silent, staring intently at her face.

“I don’t miss you; don’t get carried away. I’m here to eat at your house; I haven’t had breakfast yet.”

“That won’t do; I can’t let my Lu Xiaoxi go hungry. Sit tight; I’ll heat up the dishes.” Li Mu settled her on the sofa and ran into the kitchen.

Lu Xiaoxi sat with her legs crossed, leaning slightly forward, her hands propped on the sofa, obediently sitting there, but her watery eyes were watching Li Mu heat the dishes in the kitchen.

The warmth in her heart was about to overflow.

“Hmph, I couldn’t sleep last night without Little Green Plum; I had insomnia.” Li Mu brought out the heated pork and porridge, not in a hurry to eat, and quickly ran to the sofa to sit next to Lu Xiaoxi.

“Is that something to be proud of?” Lu Xiaoxi detected the tone in Li Mu’s voice asking for praise and found it amusing.

“Look, I can’t live without you at all; tonight…”

“What can I do… I won’t care about you; you can come over, but you can’t let Uncle and Auntie find out, or else don’t even think about it.” Lu Xiaoxi felt sorry for him; frequent insomnia could lead to white hair and hair loss, which wasn’t good for his health.

There was no other way; she could only compromise and let Li Mu come over to sleep.

“My parents go to bed quite early; I’ll message you then sneak over. Remember to open the door for me.”

“Such a perverted idea—”

“Childhood sweethearts aren’t perverted; I missed you so much; hurry up and give me a kiss.” Li Mu said without hesitation and kissed her.

Lu Xiaoxi’s heart raced.

They were now kissing, risking the chance of their parents opening the door at any moment.

It felt a bit exciting…

What would Aunt Su and Uncle Li’s reaction be if they suddenly came back and saw them kissing?

She didn’t know their reaction, but she knew she would definitely be so embarrassed she would faint.

She also felt a coolness in her lower abdomen, while Li Mu’s warm hand wandered around her waist, slipping under her clothes, inching upward.

“Uh, what are you doing!” Lu Xiaoxi’s pupils constricted, quickly swatting Li Mu’s hand away and pulling down her lifted hem, glaring at him angrily while covering her chest.

Li Mu looked at her excitedly, sniffing his fingers.

“What are you smelling, you big pervert!”

“It smells nice, hehe.”

Lu Xiaoxi’s face turned red to her neck, biting her lip, looking at Li Mu’s mischievous face with a hint of resentment.

“Still want to touch…”

Li Mu lowered his head in shame like a child who had made a mistake, but his words didn’t sound apologetic at all.

How did he manage to reflect while becoming more and more reckless??

“Touch your head! Go away, go away; I want to eat!” Lu Xiaoxi held back the feeling of weakness in her legs and ran away.

Leaving behind Li Mu, who was like a lovesick fool on the sofa, reminiscing about the soft touch from just now.

As for why Li Mu didn’t come over, Lu Xiaoxi knew.

If Aunt Su saw, it would be so embarrassing!

After a while, Lu Xiaoxi finally calmed down, served two bowls of porridge, and then sat with her legs crossed waiting for Li Mu to come over.

Li Mu came over shortly after, and the two sat together, eating this lunch breakfast.

The crisp sound of stainless steel chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowls continued for a long time.

These two bowls were large and had been used since childhood; Aunt Su specifically bought them for her and Li Mu when they were little, and they had been used until now, mostly lying quietly in the corner.

The girl didn’t smack her lips; she was very quiet while eating, her small mouth pouting adorably.

Li Mu only ate one bowl, and when Lu Xiaoxi was eating her second bowl, Li Mu turned his face to watch her.

Sometimes he would smile at her and would poke her chubby cheeks playfully.

Until the girl shot him a sideways glance, he finally settled down.

“Little Green Plum,” he said softly.

“Mm?”

“Nothing, just wanted to call you.”

“……”

Lu Xiaoxi was speechless and shoved a piece of pork into his mouth.

“Little Green Plum,” he said again.

“What is it?”

“Help me wash the dishes; there’s hot water.”

“Mm, okay.”
