Chapter 162: Indifferent Ninja

After finishing their meal, Lu Xiaoxi helped Li Mu wash the dishes.

“Did you look at that form I sent you?” Li Mu pulled him to sit on the sofa and took out his phone to show her the form he had prepared last night.

“I glanced at it. Which city do you think is better to go to?” Lu Xiaoxi replied to him.

She just wanted to watch the snow with Li Mu; which city didn’t matter.

“Then let’s go to Linglan? I had my eye on that place first. There’s a hotel nearby, and there’s a park. We can have fun there when it snows, okay?”

“Mm!” Lu Xiaoxi nodded vigorously.

It was as if she could see the snowflakes falling everywhere, and she became excited as well.

“When are we going?”

“Next Wednesday, right? I’ll buy the tickets today.”

“Wow, we decided so quickly!” Li Mu laughed.

“You did your homework, so of course it was quick. I’ll tell my parents tonight.”

“Okay, your parents shouldn’t restrict you, right?”

“No, they actually hope I go out and have fun. They just worry about me going out alone, but it’s fine if you go with me.” Lu Xiaoxi nudged him, like a clingy little cat.

With the travel time and destination confirmed, the only thing left was to finalize the specific location.

The plan to watch the snow was proposed by Li Mu, so he naturally took care of everything. If it were left to Little Green Plum, she would definitely be confused.

Li Mu didn’t need to worry about his own parents at all.

His parents were more than happy for him to go out and play, rather than staying in his room all day playing games and typing, which would only make him feel stifled.

Sounds of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the sound of a key being inserted and the doorknob turning.

Lu Xiaoxi tensed up and immediately pulled away from Li Mu, creating a fist’s distance between them to avoid looking too close.

As soon as Su Wen entered, she saw the two kids. Initially, she had no expression, but then she suddenly smiled.

“Xiaoxi!” She sat down beside her as if she had found treasure.

“Auntie.”

“Xiaoxi hasn’t changed her clothes yet; she’s such a little lazybug.”

“Hehe, too lazy to change; I’m not going out anyway.”

“Right, it doesn’t matter here, no need to change…”

Li Mu watched the two women chatting and suddenly felt displeased.

His own mother knew he was with Lu Xiaoxi and was eager to chat with her.

Who was he supposed to complain to about this?

“Mom, why are you up here? Go downstairs to play cards.”

“The wind is strong; the cards will blow away. I’m not playing anymore. Why, don’t you want me to come up?”

“Um, you should go down and play with Dad.”

“You little brat!” Su Wen rolled up her sleeves, ready to scold him.

Li Mu jumped and quickly slipped back into his room.

Lu Xiaoxi: “……”

Yes, this was how Li Mu’s family lived; they were used to it.

Li Mu clicked his tongue twice and opened his computer to search for hotels in Linglan, checking which hotel near the park had the best value for money.

Since they were going to stay, they might as well stay longer. Money wasn’t a problem; even if he didn’t spend his own, he could ask his mom for it.

Various apps online were very convenient; booking hotels and such could be done quickly and was not troublesome at all.

If it were just him, he wouldn’t care so much; as long as there was hot water and a bed, he could manage. But since Lu Xiaoxi was going too, he had to choose something a bit more upscale.

Traveling far was quite an expense; just booking a hotel would cost a lot. If he didn’t have a little money saved up, he wouldn’t dare to book such an expensive hotel.

“Li Mu.” Lu Xiaoxi gently knocked on the door from outside.

“Where’s my mom?” Li Mu opened the door and looked outside but didn’t see his mom.

“Su Auntie wanted to take a nap, so she went back to her room and sent me to find you to play.”

“Hehe, then come in.” Li Mu opened the door wide and stepped aside, like a gentleman welcoming a lady into a mansion.

Although his room looked like a pigsty in Lu Xiaoxi’s eyes, it didn’t affect his gentlemanly demeanor.

That’s how he saw it, anyway.

Lu Xiaoxi stood at the door, hands behind her back, peeking inside. Her brows immediately furrowed as she pointed inside and said, “How many times have I said it? The trash can needs a plastic bag!”

“Aren’t you coming in?”

“I’m not going in; we’re going out to play.” Lu Xiaoxi was too shy to enter his room.

Mainly because Su Auntie was there; a boy and a girl locked in a room would be hard to explain.

Of course, if they were at Cangnan, it wouldn’t matter, as only the two of them knew.

“Alright, where to?”

“I don’t know, just wandering around.”

“Let’s go for a walk, no wait, let’s stroll around the neighborhood.”

“I’m going to change clothes, wait for me.” Lu Xiaoxi was still in her pajamas and couldn’t go out like that.

Li Mu put on his shoes and followed her out. When Lu Xiaoxi reached the hallway and took out her keys to open the door, he slipped in behind her.

Lu Xiaoxi ignored him, opened her room door, and was about to close it when she suddenly noticed Li Mu’s foot wedged in the door.

She glared at him, “I’m changing clothes!”

“It’s fine, I won’t look.”

“Then why won’t you let me close the door?”

“Uh, I wanted to sneak a peek.”

“You just said it out loud! Sneaking a peek!” Lu Xiaoxi kicked his foot out, slammed the door shut, and didn’t forget to lock it.

She cursed him as a pervert countless times in her heart.

He had already touched her today, and now he wanted to watch her change clothes!

How could he take advantage like this?!

Li Mu stood dazed at the door, quietly listening to the rustling sounds inside, feeling a tickle in his nose.

After a moment, the door opened.

The girl, not used to the cold, was dressed very warmly, wrapped in a fluffy white coat, with loose beige pants underneath, and a scarf and hat on, making her face look small and somewhat silly.

At first glance, she looked very easy to deceive.

“Little sister, come with your brother; I’ll give you candy.” Li Mu was inexplicably touched by Lu Xiaoxi’s outfit.

“I’m going to call the security!”

“Go ahead, scream your lungs out; it won’t help, hehe.” Li Mu moved his fingers in a sleazy manner, like a perverted uncle in a video.

“Ugh, big pervert!”

“The pervert is here!” Li Mu grabbed both of Lu Xiaoxi’s hands with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist, mischievously licking her little lips.

“Yuck, yuck, yuck, are you a dog?” Lu Xiaoxi disdainfully stuck out her little pink tongue.

“I’m a licking dog for my little Green Plum; what’s wrong with that?”

Lu Xiaoxi was taken aback and didn’t expect Li Mu to say that.

Her big eyes blinked twice, and she quietly lowered her head, glancing sideways, not daring to look at him.

“Let’s go; I’m taking the little kid out to play.” Li Mu changed to holding hands, swaying back and forth like he was teasing a child.

“I’m not a kid!”

“Okay, you’re not a kid; I’m a kid, alright?”

“That’s more like it.”

Lu Xiaoxi happily followed Li Mu’s rhythm, swinging her hands cheerfully.

Before going out, Lu Xiaoxi locked the door, tucked the keys into her pocket, and hurried to catch up with Li Mu, who was already waiting by the elevator.

In broad daylight, the sensor lights turned on, casting a round shadow beneath their feet.

The elevator came up from the first floor, and Lu Xiaoxi stood obediently in front of the elevator door. Having learned from her previous experience, she didn’t hold Li Mu’s hand this time.

“Li Mu, are you my licking dog?”

She pulled her scarf up to cover the area below her nose, and her hat was pulled down to her eyebrows.

At this moment, she didn’t look like a child anymore; she looked like a ninja.

“Mm, I’m your licking dog.”

“Don’t you feel ashamed?”

“Being a licking dog for my little Green Plum is not shameful.”

He was about to devour his little Green Plum; what did it matter if he was a licking dog?

If others saw how good he was to Lu Xiaoxi as licking dog behavior, then so be it; he didn’t care.

“Oh…” Lu Xiaoxi nodded, expressing her full agreement.

She glanced at the elevator, quickly pulled down her scarf, placed her hands on Li Mu’s shoulders, and pushed him down, meeting his puzzled gaze as she stuck out her little pink tongue to lick him.

“I, I am also your licking dog…” Lu Xiaoxi’s eyes darted around, quickly pulling up her scarf to cover half her face. Now she had become an indifferent ninja again.

Ding, the elevator arrived.
