Chapter 165~

They had gone out to play and were blown by the wind quite a bit.

Lu Xiaoxi was even blown to the point of having a runny nose, needing to sniffle after every few steps.

Everyone returned to their own homes; Mom hadn’t woken up yet, and Li Mu started to go back to his room to put on his headphones and type.

After typing for a while, he began to look for Lin Sheng and Old Yang to team up and play games, playing until evening when Su Wen shouted outside for him to come out for dinner.

Hastily finishing the game, Li Mu walked out of the room and looked at the dishes on the table that looked quite good, clicking his tongue.

“Mom, yours obviously isn’t as good as mine.”

“Have you learned to cook from Xiaoxi for two days and gotten all puffed up?”

“Hehe, what Lu Xiaoxi makes is delicious; your dishes are only for show, not for eating.”

“You can’t expect much from a dog’s mouth; you’ve been eating for nineteen years, and your dad has been eating even longer,” Su Wen said, hands on her hips, annoyed.

“I’ll try to see if it’s good.”

Li Mu used a toothpick to stab a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in his mouth; the strong vinegar taste made him frown. “Dad likes it, so let him eat more later.”

“Alright, go check if Xiaoxi is cooking; if not, let her come over to eat.”

“Okay, I’ll go take a look.” Li Mu dashed off without a trace.

He knocked on the door next door, and after about ten seconds, Lu Xiaoxi finally opened the door.

Inside, there was the sound of an old-fashioned range hood and a strong smell of garlic.

“You cooked? Didn’t I tell you to come to my house every day? Why are you cooking for yourself?”

“I just made one dish; I’ll bring it over to you guys later.”

“You’re smart, knowing that my mom’s cooking isn’t good.”

Li Mu put one foot inside, squeezed into Lu Xiaoxi’s room, and playfully closed the door behind him, grinning as he hugged Lu Xiaoxi, waddling like a penguin into the kitchen.

Lu Xiaoxi felt warm.

Back in the kitchen, Lu Xiaoxi turned on the gas stove again, cooking a simple dish of corn stir-fried with pork, topped with some sliced ham.

“Remember to open the door for me tonight,” Li Mu whispered in her ear.

“Got it!”

“Call me when it’s done; I’ll help you bring it over.” Li Mu pinched her soft cheek and lay back on the sofa in the living room.

The layouts of their homes were the same; his room faced Lu Xiaoxi’s room, and his gaze fell on her slightly closed door.

“Lu Xiaoxi, I’m going to invade your privacy!”

“What the heck?”

“I’m just going to take a look in your room.”

“Oh, there’s nothing to see.”

With permission granted, Li Mu lifted his foot and walked into the girl’s room, pushing the door open. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel quite pleasant.

The girl’s room was very clean, with no trash and not much hair; the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and even the small items on the bed were orderly against the wall.

By the window, there were two paper lanterns they had made together during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a sunny doll hung peacefully there.

He took down the sunny doll, unhurriedly opened it, and took out a ping pong ball with two names and a big heart written on it.

Hmm, it’s still this ping pong ball.

There was also a white wardrobe in Lu Xiaoxi’s room; when he opened it, he saw a row of underwear and various styles of pajamas.

It really was as Lu Xiaoxi said, there were so many pajamas; no wonder she was unwilling when he mentioned buying couple pajamas.

“What are you looking at?!” Lu Xiaoxi walked in just in time to see Li Mu looking at her wardrobe.

“I’m not looking at your underwear.”

“There’s no silver here!” Lu Xiaoxi’s face turned red.

“You don’t believe the truth? It’s not like I haven’t seen it; I looked at it every day in Cangnan.”

“How can you still have the face to say that?!” Lu Xiaoxi angrily walked over and poked Li Mu’s face hard.

“Lu Xiaoxi, you’re so cute.”

“……What’s with the suddenness…….”

Li Mu didn’t speak, suddenly hugging her tightly, taking two steps, and reaching for the cat ear hairpin on the table, gently placing it on Lu Xiaoxi’s head.

This hairpin was bought during their trip to the zoo; since Lu Xiaoxi brought it back, she must have worn it secretly.

He hadn’t had the chance to see it yet.

“Adorable,” Li Mu said again, looking at her face.

“You’re such a pervert.” Lu Xiaoxi certainly knew what she was wearing on her head.

When she first went out with Li Mu, he had said things like “Girls change a lot” and “Put on cat ears.”

Damn it, she had still fallen for Li Mu’s tricks!

“Can you meow for me?”

“Can’t!” Lu Xiaoxi’s nimble hands slipped out of Li Mu’s embrace, took off the cat ear hairpin, and deftly put it on Li Mu.

Li Mu originally had a pair of invisible dog ears, and now they had turned into visible cat ears.

They were, well, quite cute…

“Have you seen enough?”

“Hehe, you’re cute too.”

“Guys should be described as handsome, you know.”

“I don’t know; you’re just cute. If I say cute, then it’s cute.” Lu Xiaoxi touched his cat ears and chuckled softly.

“Lu Xiaoxi.”

“Mm?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a wave of dizziness.

It turned out Li Mu was holding her and had placed her on the bed.

The neatly made mattress became messy because of Lu Xiaoxi’s presence.

Before Lu Xiaoxi could react, she was pressed down by Li Mu.

“……”

“……”

One was pressing down, and the other was being pressed; neither of them spoke, quietly looking at each other.

Li Mu’s mouth moved, wanting to say something but hesitating.

“Are you, do you want to kiss?”

“Mm, I want to stick my tongue out; can we consider it a reward for my snow homework?”

Lu Xiaoxi didn’t speak, her gaze drifting elsewhere; the world seemed to suddenly quiet down, even Li Mu, who was so close, fell silent, and the only sound in the world was the pounding of their hearts.

Li Mu’s lips quickly pressed against hers, prying open her teeth.

After the enchanting moment.

Lu Xiaoxi gasped and pushed him away.

“Delicious.” Li Mu smacked his lips, savoring it as if he had eaten dessert.

“All saliva, so disgusting…” Lu Xiaoxi wriggled out from under him, sitting on the bed, also smacking her lips, her face feeling like it was about to burn up.

“I still want more tonight.”

“Get lost, you’re so bad! I’m hungry; bring the dishes over; I want to go to your house for dinner.”

“Time to eat.” Li Mu bent over and walked out.

He looked somewhat awkward.

This posture made Lu Xiaoxi unable to help but want to laugh.

But thinking about her current state, she couldn’t laugh anymore.

Her legs felt weak, unable to move…

Her heart felt like a big elephant was crashing against it, as if it was about to leap out of her throat.

Clearly, she was about to have dinner with Aunt Su and Uncle Li, which made her feel like she was stealing Li Mu away from Aunt Su and Uncle Li.
