Chapter 144: The Little Green Plum Wants to Be Pampered

After finishing dinner.

Lu Xiaoxi lay on the sofa, one hand touching her little belly, while the other hand was playing Dou Di Zhu with one hand.

She played a king bomb, and as the music changed, the little flavor immediately came up.

Then came that sad little tune.

She pouted and continued to play with Li Mu’s phone.

Li Mu had only walked in the hall for two or three minutes and sat for about ten minutes, and his feeling of fullness had almost faded.

“I’ll take a shower first.”

“Go ahead, I’ll take your computer out to watch a sweet drama later.”

“Do as you like.” Li Mu’s computer had no privacy; what needed to be hidden had already been hidden, so he wasn’t afraid of Lu Xiaoxi seeing it.

He took some clothes and went into the bathroom.

He glanced at the place where the bathing supplies were kept; there was still a bar of soap lying there nicely. After using Lu Xiaoxi’s things, he hadn’t touched the soap again.

A feeling of an emperor meeting a beautiful empress in the cold palace arose.

Lu Xiaoxi’s shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner were all various styles of concubines.

But the one he initially accepted and loved the most was still this bar of soap that had already been used one-third!

He decided to pamper his soap for a day.

Without his phone playing music, Li Mu felt like he hadn’t washed at all.

He opened the door, bringing out a cloud of steam, and saw Lu Xiaoxi in the hall watching a sweet drama while playing Dou Di Zhu.

“Your turn.”

“Coming!”

Lu Xiaoxi wiggled her little feet like a penguin that couldn’t find its feet; her slippers had been kicked two meters away without her noticing. She tiptoed and quickly put on her pink slippers.

As she passed by Li Mu, she backed up and sniffed him carefully.

“Are you a dog?”

“Why didn’t you use my shower gel? Is the rose scent not fragrant?”

“Do you know how it feels for an emperor to meet a beautiful empress in the cold palace?” Li Mu said with his hands behind his back, earnestly, as if his short sleeves and shorts had turned into a dragon robe, and his slippers had transformed into square-toed shoes.

“Why so dramatic?”

“I just suddenly wanted to use the soap.” Li Mu’s emperor vibe was interrupted, but he wasn’t angry. He walked around Lu Xiaoxi twice before saying, “You should use it too; childhood sweethearts should have the same scent.”

“Ew, who wants to smell like you?” After saying that, Lu Xiaoxi turned and went back to her room to get a change of clothes.

Her underwear was wrapped at the very bottom; she couldn’t let Li Mu see it.

Although Li Mu had seen it many times already.

“Take your underwear out to dry.”

She entered the bathroom, placed her change of clothes, and caught sight of the red underwear in the bucket, shouting in annoyance.

“Coming, coming.” Li Mu slipped in, took his bucket, and also saw Lu Xiaoxi’s clothes set aside. “I feel like your little rabbit pajamas looked better than this set.”

“They’re the same; it’s just the pattern that’s a bit different.”

“No, no, no, your little rabbit pajamas are missing a button on the collar.”

“Go away!” Lu Xiaoxi wanted to kick him, but Li Mu slipped out like an eel, leaving her with nothing to do but sulk and glare.

Li Mu hung his shorts out to dry and, when preparing to wash his socks, walked back to the hall to take out the socks Lu Xiaoxi had stuffed into her shoes and washed them together.

Wow, they even had a Crayon Shin-chan pattern.

Lu Xiaoxi’s socks were as small as a girl’s, and Li Mu actually found them a bit cute.

Hiss.

How did washing a pair of socks turn him into a pervert?

Li Mu quickly washed Lu Xiaoxi’s socks, wrung them out, secured them with a clip, and hung them on the balcony.

There was an extra pair of socks on the balcony, and not a single drop of water could gather.

With a gust of wind, one big and one small pair of socks swayed together.

Lu Xiaoxi was taking a shower, and his phone was still open to the Dou Di Zhu game interface.

There were still some happy beans left for another round.

Li Mu naturally took over.

Call the landlord—grab the landlord—grab the landlord—I grab!

Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it—

When Lu Xiaoxi finished her shower, she happened to hear the cheerful little tune from winning a round of Dou Di Zhu.

“How many beans do we have?” Lu Xiaoxi excitedly leaned over. She originally had a few beans left for another round, and since Li Mu had won, it meant they could play a few more rounds.

Isn’t that great?

“Look for yourself.”

“Nine thousand beans?! Alright, now it’s my turn to play.”

“Go ahead, just don’t lose them all in two rounds.”

“Don’t worry, I’m playing in the beginner’s room; how could I lose so quickly? No, no, no, why do you think I would lose?!” Lu Xiaoxi pouted; she was also very good at Dou Di Zhu, okay?

Even though she only played a few rounds every day, she still had some skills.

“You really have an addiction, little online gaming green plum.”

“I’m not addicted; I’m using your account, so it’s your addiction.” Lu Xiaoxi’s little head was full of many twisted arguments.

There was a knock on the door, and a gentle female voice came from outside, “Teacher Lu, are you there?”

“It’s Sister Xia; help me play this round.” Lu Xiaoxi handed the phone back to Li Mu and walked towards the door.

Li Mu remained seated on the sofa; after all, Sister Xia was there to find Lu Xiaoxi, not him.

He wasn’t familiar with Sister Xia; at most, they were neighbors and had hardly chatted a few times. However, Lu Xiaoxi often talked to Sister Xia while tutoring Xia Yuanyuan, so they were quite familiar.

He could hear the conversation at the door; it seemed that Xia Yuanyuan had scored ninety points on her English quiz, so Sister Xia had come to deliver some fruit as a thank you from the parents to the tutor.

After chatting with Sister Xia for a bit, Lu Xiaoxi placed a box of fruit on the coffee table. The box was exceptionally luxurious, clearly not cheap; this kind of fruit was specially bought for gifting.

“Hello, Teacher Lu.” Li Mu crossed his legs, not even lifting his head, and imitated Sister Xia’s tone to greet her.

“Hmph, Li Mu, the teacher invites you to eat fruit.” Lu Xiaoxi said proudly, using scissors to open the fruit box.

As expected, it was filled with particularly good-looking seasonal fruits, including sugar oranges, mangoes, strawberries… a variety of them, layered beautifully.

“First, eat the strawberries; they spoil easily. Put the rest in the fridge.” Lu Xiaoxi wasn’t sure if she was talking to Li Mu or just talking to herself.

“You can play; I’ll help you put the fruit away.”

“No, no, no, I’ll do it myself.” Lu Xiaoxi shook her head, putting the items that needed to go in the fridge in the fridge and leaving the room temperature ones out. After washing a plate of strawberries, she happily sat next to Li Mu and started eating.

She had no intention of offering Li Mu any.

Two, four, six.

The music of Dou Di Zhu played over and over again.

Lu Xiaoxi was starting to feel restless.

She was just waiting for Li Mu to say, “I also want to eat,” and then she would reply, “Little Pig Lu eats strawberries.”

Why was Li Mu not saying a word and just playing Dou Di Zhu?

Li Mu knew very well what she was thinking.

With a light sigh, he poked her cheek, “What about mine? I’ve been sitting here for so long and you haven’t fed me even one.”

The little green plum wanted to be pampered.
