Chapter 131: Actually, she also needed to replenish her little bamboo horse’s energy.

The warm bed made Lu Xiaoxi unsure whether it was winter or spring.

Winter mornings were quite confusing, and Lu Xiaoxi was too.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she could see Li Mu’s face. Lu Xiaoxi, still in a daze, began to linger in bed, stretching her small body before curling up again, nudging against Li Mu.

“Don’t sleep anymore, we have an early class at eight today.”

Li Mu’s words were more effective than an alarm clock. Lu Xiaoxi let out a small mewl like a kitten, flailing her limbs randomly before sitting up in a spoiled manner.

Her messy hair reflected her current mood.

The combination of a winter morning, Li Mu sleeping beside her, and an early class created a slight grumpiness in the lazy girl.

Last night.

She had watched Li Mu finish writing his reflections, listened to him read them aloud, and had initially planned to play lazy and go back to sleep. However, Li Mu wouldn’t let her leave, so she was forced to stay with him, cornered against the wall, and ended up sleeping together.

She had really tried to resist, she really did!

The girl’s pink pajamas were loose and baggy, adorned with many cartoon cat faces, one of which looked like a cat that had just woken up.

It resembled Lu Xiaoxi’s lazy expression.

“Good morning, little green plum.”

“Morning! When did you get up?” Lu Xiaoxi turned her face away to speak, not wanting Li Mu to smell her morning breath.

“About ten minutes earlier than you. The alarm couldn’t wake you.”

“Pervert, watching someone sleep for ten minutes.”

“Good to look at, love to look at, what’s wrong with that? You don’t want me to look?” Li Mu also sat up, shifted a bit, and wrapped his arms around Lu Xiaoxi from behind, resting his chin on her fragrant shoulder, rubbing his face against hers.

Lu Xiaoxi’s face was soft and smooth, truly comfortable.

Li Mu often pinched Lu Xiaoxi’s cheeks before; the small Lu Xiaoxi was a bit chubby, and it was quite fun to pinch.

From his angle, he could catch a glimpse of the scenery beneath the girl’s loose collar, a black and red string running from her neck to her collarbone, and from her collarbone to her underwear, with the final dog-tooth necklace hidden beneath her collar, out of sight.

“Adorable.” Li Mu planted a kiss on Lu Xiaoxi’s face.

“Another kiss?!”

“I forgot to report it, I’ll make up for it next time.”

Lu Xiaoxi glared at him angrily and bumped her forehead against him like a little calf.

Li Mu took the opportunity to pull the small girl down with him, and the girl, who had just gotten up, unexpectedly fell back into his warm embrace.

“Let’s sleep together tonight.”

“We just got up!”

“I made a reservation in advance.”

“Reservation denied, I won’t sleep with you for the next few days.”

“Why?” Li Mu looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

“No reason, hurry up and let go of me, I need to brush my teeth!”

“Come on, let’s go together.” Li Mu released her, put on his coat and shoes, and left the room with Lu Xiaoxi.

Today’s weather showed no change.

Compared to spring, summer, and autumn, Li Mu still preferred winter. Once the weather got cold enough, he could keep Lu Xiaoxi’s bed warm.

Actually, being a warm bed little bamboo horse wasn’t so bad.

At the very least, he could hold his little green plum to sleep every day.

Just as he was feeling happy, Lu Xiaoxi nudged him.

Lu Xiaoxi was holding a toothbrush, and he knew what she meant, so he squeezed some of his Longjing tea-flavored toothpaste for her.

“Our toothbrushes are also a couple… in green plum and bamboo horse colors.”

“What are you trying to express?”

“Nothing, hurry up and finish brushing so we can go to class. By the way, if you unbutton one more button on your pajamas, I might see everything.”

Li Mu’s mouth was full of foam as he brushed left and right in front of the mirror. Next to him was Lu Xiaoxi, and he couldn’t help but stare at the large area of her collarbone and shoulder strap that was exposed.

“You pervert!” As soon as Lu Xiaoxi finished speaking, the foam in her mouth made her feel nauseous. She quickly rinsed her mouth, blushing as she buttoned up her pajamas, finally feeling at ease.

“Too late, I already memorized it.”

“You die!” Lu Xiaoxi punched and kicked Li Mu, using some strength, but afraid of hurting him, she specifically targeted his butt, after all, that area had the strongest defense.

It turned out she didn’t hit the wrong spot; Li Mu remained completely still.

To be honest, Li Mu’s butt felt quite nice.

After washing up, Lu Xiaoxi returned to her room to change clothes, while Li Mu prepared his laptop bag, leaning against the doorframe waiting for her.

Lu Xiaoxi didn’t dawdle and quickly changed her clothes before heading out.

“Yo yo yo, isn’t this Lu Xiaoxi? Just two minutes apart, and how come you look even cuter?” Li Mu freed one hand and playfully toyed with the white pom-pom on Lu Xiaoxi’s ponytail.

He had bought that hair accessory, and Lu Xiaoxi often wore it, clearly loving it.

“Yo yo yo, isn’t this stinky Li Mu? Just two minutes apart, and how come you seem even more annoying?”

“Thanks for the compliment, I’ll reward my little green plum with a kiss.” Li Mu brushed aside Lu Xiaoxi’s bangs and pecked her forehead.

“……” Lu Xiaoxi always blushed easily. She leaned in, whispering in Li Mu’s ear, “Lower down a bit, I want to kiss you too.”

Such a good thing?

Li Mu was delighted, bent down, closed his eyes, and puckered his lips, waiting for Lu Xiaoxi’s kiss.

Lu Xiaoxi stifled a laugh at Li Mu’s eager expression.

She never said she wanted to kiss his lips.

A light kiss landed on Li Mu’s left cheek.

She couldn’t let Li Mu keep kissing her, right? She had to collect interest.

“I thought we were kissing, what a false alarm.”

“Then I won’t kiss you next time.”

“Don’t, don’t, I was just joking!”

Li Mu, who had been pitifully covering his left cheek a second ago, changed his expression the next second, “You haven’t kissed my right cheek yet.”

“No more kisses, but hugs are still on the table.”

Lu Xiaoxi took the initiative to hug Li Mu, pressing against him. Today wasn’t a special day, but Lu Xiaoxi wanted to give Li Mu a small hug.

Actually, this was compensation.

She had said she would kiss Li Mu yesterday, but in the end, it was still Li Mu who kissed her.

The kiss from earlier and the hug now were the principal and interest for not being able to kiss Li Mu yesterday.

Li Mu often hugged her, saying it was to replenish his little green plum’s energy.

Actually, she also needed to replenish her little bamboo horse’s energy.

The door next door was always open.

Xia Yuanyuan, who was supposed to go to school, was nibbling on a sandwich, her big, shiny eyes staring unblinkingly at the two adults who were much taller than her.

Xia Yuanyuan had remained silent and felt no surprise.

The clever Xia Yuanyuan already knew that Sister Xiaoxi liked Brother Li Mu.
