Chapter 120: One Night’s Sleep Equals Three Afternoon Naps (Part 1/2)

Li Mu did not know how he came out of Lu Xiaoxi’s room.

At this moment, he lay on the bed, feeling extremely awkward.

The physiological phenomenon was seen by Little Green Plum; what should he do now?

How should he face Lu Xiaoxi?

Forget about whether Lu Xiaoxi was shy or awkward; he himself wanted to find a hole to bury himself in.

He lay there until it was nine o’clock.

He didn’t even dare to go out to take a shower, nor did he dare to greet Xia Yuanyuan; he could only stay in the room, listening to Teacher Little Green Plum and Student Xia Yuanyuan imparting knowledge.

During this time, Xia Yuanyuan even asked where he had gone, but he was casually fooled by Lu Xiaoxi’s excuse.

Li Mu rolled around in bed with a pig plush toy, feeling like he was no longer himself.

Where was his thick skin? At such a time, he should be thick-skinned and face everything calmly.

…Thinking simply, it was really too difficult for him to ignore that awkward scene.

Li Mu took a deep breath, decided not to think about this matter for the time being, and began to type.

After all, the bridge will naturally straighten when it reaches the boat’s head.

He just hoped that Lu Xiaoxi wouldn’t have terrible impressions of him, such as “hugging would lead to that” or “hugging him was for something inappropriate.”

Otherwise, he would have to report even hugs in the future.

Perhaps the earlier incident was too embarrassing; his typing speed slowed down significantly, writing less than a thousand words in an hour. His thoughts would occasionally drift to the novel and then to Lu Xiaoxi; he had never thought that concentrating on typing would be so difficult.

After struggling to finish a chapter, Li Mu gave up.

His state today was not good; he only wrote one chapter of backup material, but it was still quite exhausting for him.

The living room quieted down; it seemed that Xia Yuanyuan had finished her class and gone back.

What was Little Green Plum doing outside?

Unfortunately, there was no peephole in the door, so he couldn’t see the scene outside.

He leaned against the door and listened for a while, but there was still no sound at all.

Lu Xiaoxi… had returned to her room?

He wasn’t sure if there were any other sounds of doors closing besides Xia Yuanyuan’s; it was the first time it was so quiet when neither of them was asleep.

He quietly opened a crack in the door; no matter how careful he was, the door still inevitably made a sound.

On the sofa, Lu Xiaoxi, curled up with her legs while playing on her phone, suddenly turned her head and made eye contact with Li Mu.

Neither of them spoke.

“Uh, I’m going to take a shower,” Li Mu broke the silence first, turned around, grabbed two pieces of clothing, and hurriedly ran into the bathroom.

What was going on? Why did it feel so strange the moment they met? This couldn’t be! He had to face this matter directly later!

Li Mu encouraged himself; he would just walk directly to Little Green Plum later, sitting next to her and holding her hand as if it were an ordinary day… Yes, just like that; he had to take advantage of his thick skin and act as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xiaoxi on the sofa blushed at the shadow behind the frosted door.

What a fool Li Mu was; if he just walked in a little more, no one outside would be able to see him…

Thinking of that earlier scene, Lu Xiaoxi’s eyes misted over as she buried half her face in her knees.

Li Mu, Li Mu… he was just a big silly pig!

At that moment, she had just finished speaking when she felt the bed shake, followed by the sound of slippers pattering. By the time she turned her head, there was already no one on the bed!

He ran away super fast!

Even if Li Mu had done that, what would happen to her? Why run so fast?

Fifteen minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

Li Mu emerged from the bathroom, steaming.

Today, he had spent a bit more time in the shower, lost in thought.

Boys looked better after a shower than usual, and Li Mu was no exception. With his already good-looking face and figure, along with his hair casually dried with a towel, Lu Xiaoxi quickly found a word to describe him.

—Little wolf dog.

“Ahem.” Li Mu cleared his throat twice and sat down next to the girl, not knowing what to say. After coughing, it became even more awkward.

“You, you just now…” Lu Xiaoxi didn’t dare to look at Li Mu, slightly distancing herself from him. After knowing that Li Mu would do that, she felt scared; she didn’t even know what she was afraid of.

She knew Li Mu wouldn’t do anything to her, but she was just scared.

A girl’s courage could change at any moment; without something to rely on, her courage became small.

“I know, I repent…” Li Mu could feel his face starting to heat up. Just because of Lu Xiaoxi’s words, the vivid scene replayed in his mind. Had he done something heinous to be treated like this by Lu Xiaoxi?

“You have bad thoughts.” Lu Xiaoxi curled up on the sofa, not daring to move.

“Forget it, okay? I’ve already chosen to selectively forget.”

“Don’t! I want to remember.”

“Why?!” Li Mu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood; was his little Qingmei specifically targeting him?

They really didn’t get along!

“This is your dark history; I definitely won’t let you forget it.” Lu Xiaoxi saw Li Mu’s exaggerated reaction and covered her mouth, stifling a laugh.

“Woman, you are playing with fire!” Li Mu suddenly pounced, giving Lu Xiaoxi a sofa wall slam.

Although the posture was a bit awkward, it would have to do.

“Playing with your head, sit properly.”

“……”

Why was she not following the usual script?

This time, Li Mu became obedient, sitting quietly on the sofa like a puppy caught by its fate, just waiting for whatever would happen.

“Do you… do you still want to kiss my face? If not, I’m going back to my room.”

“Yes, who said I didn’t want to? Step forward!”

As soon as kissing was mentioned, Li Mu immediately became spirited, acting dramatically, his expression lively and exaggerated. If someone unfamiliar saw him, they would definitely think Li Mu was crazy.

But the little girl was easily amused by such a Li Mu; seeing him like this, her mood brightened, and she couldn’t stop smiling.

“Quick, give me a kiss, hurry!”

“What for? Are you a pervert?”

“Huh? Didn’t you say to let me kiss? I reported it during the day; you can’t back out now.”

“I didn’t agree!”

“I don’t care; you didn’t refuse.” Li Mu grinned widely, wrapping his arm around the girl’s shoulders, pulling her closer.

“Thick-skinned, you are bullying me; I’m going to tell your mom.” Lu Xiaoxi huffed, turning into a little rhinoceros, nudging Li Mu’s collarbone with her forehead.

“Go ahead, tell your mom I kissed your face, kissed your forehead, and even took a nap with you.”

“…… Tch, I’m afraid you’ll get a beating, so I won’t say anything; I’ll let you off this time.” Lu Xiaoxi’s face turned red, shy and timid.

So, so many intimate things had already happened with Li Mu!

Now it was truly like boiling a frog in warm water; there was no escaping.

“If you don’t dare to say it, then don’t say it; let me kiss you.”

“You can only kiss for one second!”
