Chapter 10: Do You Like Raising Systems? Disgusting!

“Are you playing a game?” Lu Xiaoxi peeked in, wanting to see what was on Li Mu’s computer.

“No, I’m typing.”

“Writing a novel?”

“You know about this?”

“Of course I do, I’m not as stupid as someone.”

“Right, right, right, that someone took two months to get into the same university as you.”

Lu Xiaoxi’s small fist clenched, suppressing the urge to hit Li Mu, she snorted coldly, wanting to refute but not knowing how.

Li Mu was just that kind of talented person; her twelve years of hard study only got her into a top university in Cangnan, while Li Mu only borrowed her notes for two months and managed to overtake her, slapping the faces of all their classmates, even the teachers and leaders.

Such a refreshing male lead plot happened to Li Mu.

No matter what, she couldn’t let it go, she had to find a reason to hit Li Mu, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

She lightly punched Li Mu’s abdomen again.

Hmm?

It was hard, and the feeling was quite good.

“Do you have violent tendencies? It’s either stepping on or hitting.”

“Ha, who told you not to speak properly? If you keep being sarcastic, I’ll smash your head.” Lu Xiaoxi waved her small pink fist, feeling a bit guilty, quickly changing the subject.

“What kind of novel are you writing? Can I take a look?”

“This… not really.”

“You’re not writing that kind of novel, are you?”

I heard many boys like that kind of plot, and Li Mu, this shy guy in red shorts, surely wasn’t an exception.

“Go away, I’m a serious person.”

“Then can you let me see?”

“If I show you, you have to give me gifts.”

Lu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, nodded; after all, there was no rule on how much to give, even a dollar was a gift. She wouldn’t let Li Mu make money; seeing Li Mu profit was even more uncomfortable than losing money herself.

It was said that novels could reflect an author’s values and interests to some extent, and she was genuinely curious about what kind of novel this guy Li Mu could write.

“Then come in and take a look.” Li Mu moved aside.

The room was dark.

Entering a boy’s room late at night made Lu Xiaoxi a bit nervous.

It felt like a little rabbit entering a big bear’s cave; as long as the big bear blocked the entrance, the little rabbit had no way to retreat and could only be cruelly eaten.

She quickly turned on the room light, feeling much more at ease; it seemed that with light, the big bear wouldn’t dare to do anything strange to the little rabbit.

“First, you have to promise not to tell my parents, and after school starts, you can’t tell classmates that I’m writing a novel.”

“If it’s a perverted novel, then I’ll tell Aunt Su.”

“Okay, just remember to give me gifts; don’t think you can hide it from me, I can see the gift records in the backend.”

Li Mu opened his novel backend.

Letting someone he knew see his novel for the first time felt like exposing his fantasies to the public, shameful and awkward, yet a bit exhilarating.

Wait, where did this exhilaration come from?

Or did he actually have some hidden attributes—

Li Mu didn’t dare to think too much; he was a serious person.

“This… I find it hard to evaluate.”

“What’s wrong? I wrote well, look, the comments are all urging updates.” Li Mu retreated to the comment section, pointing at the comments, all urging for updates.

“I meant your content.”

Li Mu’s book was called “My Primitive Wife,” telling the story of a rich young master who suddenly had a girl from the wilderness cross over into his life.

The story revolved around the daily life between the rich young master and the primitive girl…

In short, it was a sweet daily life novel.

“Do you like raising systems? How disgusting…” Lu Xiaoxi showed a look of disdain.

Raising systems often had a bit of loli elements; those who understood knew.

“What do you mean? It’s just a novel, what does it have to do with me?”

“Novels can reflect an author’s values and interests to some extent…”

“Uh, you’re right, but I just wrote it casually, believe it or not.” Li Mu closed his laptop, feeling a bit exposed, deliberately emphasizing his tone.

Feeling that Li Mu seemed to be angry, the girl shrank her neck, not daring to say anything more, fearing that if Li Mu closed the door, he would beat her up. How could she withstand Li Mu’s big fists? She was afraid she would fall apart after just a few hits.

However, she noted down the name of the book, all for the sake of the promised reward, not because she wanted to read it.

“Alright, no more looking. Remember to give me gifts. I’m hungry; I’m going down to buy something to eat.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“Suit yourself.”

In the elevator.

Both were playing on their phones.

“Let’s change your phone screen protector later.” Li Mu glanced at Lu Xiaoxi’s phone, which was an old model, and the screen protector was a bit cracked.

He always changed his screen protector as soon as it cracked; if the screen had flaws, it was uncomfortable to use.

“I’m used to it; if you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have noticed. It’s all your fault.”

“Okay, okay, everything is my fault. If you eat chili and get a face full of acne, are you going to say it’s my doing too?”

“You’re the one with a face full of acne; I do skincare every day, okay?”

Amidst their bickering, the elevator arrived.

The security guard was lounging comfortably.

“Uncle Zhang, have you eaten yet?” Li Mu greeted the security guard familiarly.

Uncle Zhang was taken aback, finally realizing it was that kid who moved in yesterday.

“What time is it? What are you eating? Are you guys going out to play?”

Although this security job was easy, it was also quite boring; he often sat in the security booth all day, being old and not understanding smartphones, he usually just listened to music. Having a young guy to chat with was quite nice.

“Yeah, we’re going out to buy something.”

“Ha ha, go ahead, the night belongs to you young people.”

“Then we’re off, Uncle Zhang, take care.”

……

“When did you get to know the security guard?” Lu Xiaoxi asked curiously.

“Just now.”

“Huh?”

Lu Xiaoxi was left speechless.

Not far downstairs was the snack street.

The night belonged to the young; places like snack streets were often brightly lit, with more people at night than during the day.

Many vendors pushed their carts out to sell things, and as they passed some stalls, the owners shouted loudly.

Lu Xiaoxi closely followed behind Li Mu; with so many people here, if she got lost, it would be hard to find her way back, and she would be mocked by Li Mu.

As soon as Li Mu turned around, he saw the small girl huddling her body, trying her best to avoid the crowd. If she wasn’t careful, she bumped into him.

“Not walking anymore?” Lu Xiaoxi rubbed her forehead, not knowing why Li Mu suddenly stopped.
