Chapter 147: Warmth

After finishing the campus run and having lunch, Lu Xiaoxi bought three grilled sausages. While walking, she ate one and even offered a bite to Li Mu, making his mouth all greasy. Then she used a tissue to wipe Li Mu’s mouth, playfully touching his lips.

Those lips, which had been kissed many times, never got boring.

Lu Xiaoxi stepped in rhythm, feeling that she was pushed aside by Li Mu again. She circled around to his other side and held one of his fingers.

Her hand was small, and holding Li Mu’s finger felt completely natural.

Li Mu turned his hand and held her entire hand, hiding it in his palm.

Her hand was cold, but it quickly warmed up in his warm palm.

She wanted to be hugged by Li Mu, so that she could feel warm all over.

Returning to the community.

Lu Xiaoxi discovered that the water in the bathroom was boiling.

She remembered turning it off after washing up yesterday, so it must have been Li Mu who turned it on this morning.

Did he want her to have hot water as soon as she got back?

Lu Xiaoxi smiled sweetly; her little bamboo horse was indeed very gentle.

Washing her face and feet, the wet slippers left footprints on the hall floor, leading straight to Li Mu’s room.

As for Li Mu’s room, the girl could now enter freely without any psychological burden, not even knowing how many times she had slept on his bed.

Usually, she would play with Li Mu’s phone on the bed while he sat in a chair typing, consuming his ample time.

“How’s your novel going?” Lu Xiaoxi curled up in the quilt.

“Not bad, better than the last one. Where have you read to?” Li Mu didn’t turn his head, his long fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard.

“The latest chapter, I’m following it!”

“What do you think? As a girl, can you read male-oriented stories?”

“Not bad, romance stories are all pretty similar.” Lu Xiaoxi chuckled, revealing her white teeth. “Why is your male lead so much of a straight man? The female lead has already made her feelings clear, yet he still doesn’t realize it.”

“You don’t understand; this allows readers to enjoy the thrill of chasing.”

“Do boys really like that?” Lu Xiaoxi didn’t quite understand boys’ thinking.

She only understood Li Mu.

This didn’t mean that Li Mu wasn’t a boy; it just meant he was a bit special.

Li Mu was very proactive and smart, completely unlike the straight male leads he wrote.

In Li Mu’s novels, the male lead was always passive, chased by the female lead, confessed to by the female lead, kissed by the female lead… In reality, Li Mu was always the one taking the initiative, pressing himself to kiss, even touching his own belly, sometimes even acting like he was cuddling a cat…

“Most boys probably like being chased; there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like it has to be boys chasing girls.”

“Do you like it?”

“I don’t know.” Li Mu paused his actions, suddenly laughing as if he thought of something. “Why don’t you write me a love letter, ask me to meet you downstairs in the community, and confess to me? I already have the words ready; you just say, ‘Li Mu, please go out with me,’ and see if I like it.”

“Are you stupid…?” Lu Xiaoxi’s mouth twitched.

They were half childhood sweethearts; why would they lower themselves like that?

The scene formed in her mind, and Lu Xiaoxi’s face turned red.

If Li Mu didn’t take the initiative, asking him to meet downstairs to ‘confess’ seemed like the quickest way to reconcile.

She would even change ‘go out’ to ‘reconcile.’

“Li Mu, please let’s reconcile!”

She would do it this way, piecing together their little moments like a ledger, handing it to Li Mu to express her intense desire to reconcile.

A baseless fantasy.

Suddenly, a surge of indescribable impulse welled up in Lu Xiaoxi’s heart.

She got out of the warm quilt, barefoot, and came to Li Mu’s side, giving him a hard kiss on the face.

Li Mu was left stunned.

“Are you addicted to kissing?”

“Hehe, just giving your thick skin a little sweetness.” Lu Xiaoxi smiled sweetly.

Thanks to Li Mu’s thick skin, they could become childhood sweethearts more quickly.

“What are you doing?”

“Just chasing you a bit, to see if you like it.”

“If I say I don’t like it, will you hit me?”

“I’ll flatten you.”

Li Mu’s heart raced as he suddenly picked Lu Xiaoxi up, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Lu Xiaoxi’s knees were on the bed, facing Li Mu, very close, and they could feel each other’s breath.

An exhilarating position.

Lu Xiaoxi blushed, just as she was about to struggle, her mouth was blocked by something, and her waist was tightly held, pressing her entire body against Li Mu.

Li Mu’s breath… was so rough.

Lu Xiaoxi’s pupils constricted.

“Did you… forget to clench your jaw?” Li Mu released her, gasping, his face showing hesitation.

“…” Lu Xiaoxi didn’t dare to speak, her eyes filled with Li Mu.

Just now with Li Mu…

Before she could think too much, Li Mu kissed her again.

A long time passed.

She regained her senses and quickly pushed Li Mu away, jumping off him.

“Pervert!” She shrank back into the quilt, feeling a bit disoriented, her face was redder than ever.

She understood now.

That indescribable impulse just now was her affection for Li Mu, a super affection.

It was also this affection that made her temporarily forget to clench her jaw.

“Did we do this when we were kids?” Li Mu pulled a bit of the quilt to cover his lower body, then lay down beside Lu Xiaoxi.

“Absolutely not!!!”

Was that something to say?

“Hehehe, then are we better than we were as kids?” Li Mu rested his head on his hand, poking Lu Xiaoxi’s face.

His gaze was no different from usual, but Lu Xiaoxi could clearly see countless signs of joy in his eyes!

This guy had long wanted to stick out his tongue; today, she had been careless, and he had succeeded!

“That’s not true! You think it’s good because you’re lecherous; you weren’t lecherous before!”

Lu Xiaoxi shook her head vigorously.

“What did we know back then? I only knew how to bully you.”

“You’re still bullying me now.”

Her legs felt weak.

Her hands were still trembling.

What else could this be called if not bullying?

“I’m bullying Lu Xiaoxi; what does it have to do with you? You’re Lu Xiaoxi, so just shout.”

“I am!”

“Uh, you really are.” Li Mu was even happier.

After a moment of silence.

“I stuck out my tongue just now; don’t be mad, okay?”

“I’m furious, I’m livid!” Lu Xiaoxi finally realized that she should be angry at this moment!

She frowned, pouting, genuinely angry now.

“Little childhood sweetheart, please don’t be angry.” Li Mu gently ruffled her scattered hair, his tone soft.

Lu Xiaoxi, who wasn’t even angry to begin with, couldn’t even pretend to be seriously angry now; she just wanted to rest her head on Li Mu’s hand and sleep well.

“Okay.”

“Are your feet still cold? Let me warm them up for you.” Li Mu stretched his feet over to Lu Xiaoxi’s side, and they were indeed cool.

“You must have been a heating furnace in your last life.” Lu Xiaoxi loved being warmed by Li Mu.

Now her hands were warm too, and she couldn’t even reach into Li Mu’s neck to freeze or scare him anymore.
