Chapter 66: Little Pig

Lu Xiaoxi was so angry that she kicked him with her foot.

One kick wasn’t enough; she had to kick again.

“Are you going to lose your foot?”

“I’m just kicking you; if you don’t like it, hold it in.”

Lu Xiaoxi had become quite bold.

“Give me your foot.” Li Mu suddenly revealed a mischievous smile and stretched his foot over to rub against hers.

Even through the pants, he could still feel the smoothness of the girl’s calf, and there was no resistance at all.

“What are you doing?!” Lu Xiaoxi whispered.

Her courage seemed to fluctuate, and now it had shrunk again.

With so many people around, she didn’t dare to rub against Li Mu openly, nor did she have that thick of a skin.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Your face must be bulletproof.” Lu Xiaoxi, embarrassed and annoyed, pulled her foot back, refusing to let this guy rub against her.

Without a foot to rub against, Li Mu found it dull and quickly finished his chicken wrap, putting on gloves to snatch Lu Xiaoxi’s fries.

He only ate half, but he finished all the ketchup.

Ignoring Lu Xiaoxi’s glare that seemed like she wanted to swallow him whole, Li Mu propped his face up and scrolled through videos.

Lu Xiaoxi indulged herself in a feast, but by the end, she felt a bit nauseous; these fried foods weren’t suitable as a staple and weren’t that tasty. Eating them occasionally was fine, but if she ate too much, she would really throw up, and she would also get high blood pressure, become irritable, and gain weight…

Compared to eating outside, she preferred to cook for herself.

A bunch of incomprehensible sounds came from her headphones; she didn’t know what kind of chaotic videos Li Mu was watching.

“Let’s go back.”

“Are you full?”

“Mm.”

“Let’s go; to be honest, I’m so tired I could die. If I suddenly die, you have to burn me more paper, preferably two pretty paper girls.”

“Shut up; you are not lucky at all when you talk. I can’t stand you.”

“Don’t! Isn’t this your ‘love token’ protecting me?” Li Mu raised his hand to show her the dog tooth bracelet on his wrist.

“That’s not a love token! No matter what, you can’t mistreat your body. You often stay up all night playing games after graduating from middle school; you must have a lot of white hair.” Lu Xiaoxi huffed.

“You know that?”

“Aunt Su told me to keep an eye on you, but at that time, our relationship wasn’t good, so I didn’t care about you.”

“Mm? So now that you care about me, does that mean our relationship has improved?”

“That’s not the case.” Lu Xiaoxi blinked her beautiful big eyes, not wanting to admit it in front of someone.

For matters like this, it was enough to know in her heart; saying it out loud showed that Little Pig had no emotional intelligence. No wonder he couldn’t find a girlfriend.

Wait, it seemed like he could find a girlfriend anytime, and it was very easy for him to find one…

“I’m telling you, you must not be deceived by bad women outside. Didn’t you see those news articles online? About how a dog licker ends up with nothing, and pure love warriors…” Lu Xiaoxi’s voice got quieter and quieter—

Li Mu had two question marks above his head.

How did they go from talking about sudden death to relationships, and now to bad women?

Clearly, he hadn’t missed a single word.

“Do you think I look like someone who would be a dog licker?” Li Mu held two laptops in one hand and incredulously pointed at himself with the other.

What exactly had he done to leave such an impression on Lu Xiaoxi?

“You are a licking pig.”

Dog licker Little Pig, abbreviated as licking pig.

“…Who did I lick?”

“You licked… who did you lick again? No, how did we get to this topic?” Lu Xiaoxi felt that this topic couldn’t continue.

“Who knows what kind of nerves you are having, suddenly warning me to be careful of bad women outside…” Li Mu’s mouth twitched.

Lu Xiaoxi was so silly that she confused herself.

But Lu Xiaoxi wasn’t wrong. Whether they were good or bad was one thing; how could women outside compare to their own little pig?

“Li Mu, look at that.” Lu Xiaoxi tugged at his shirt and pointed to a yellow sign not far away.

“A two-yuan store; I didn’t expect there to be one here.”

Li Mu’s tone carried a hint of unidentifiable nostalgia.

“Let’s go, let’s take a look.”

“What will happen if I say I won’t go?”

“I’ll sue you.”

“What do you mean?”

“I bought you for a day; if you do this, it’s considered an early termination of the contract, and you have to pay a penalty.”

“…How much is the penalty?”

“I don’t know; I’ll tell you when you breach the contract.” Lu Xiaoxi hummed and pulled him toward the two-yuan store.

The two-yuan store was a relatively cost-effective little shop, where everything was two yuan, including supplies, decorations, and snacks.

In the past, both he and Lu Xiaoxi loved to explore such little shops, specifically buying many small trinkets to take home.

What Li Mu remembered most was the generic building blocks in the two-yuan store; he and Lu Xiaoxi saved up money to buy a lot, and they would piece them together at home from morning till night, their fingers turning red, creating many small cars and planes. Then they would have battles with the small cars and planes, with Lu Xiaoxi as the car and Li Mu as the plane, making buzzing and swooshing sound effects, using their fingers to simulate cannonballs. Whoever’s cannonball hit the other would lose.

Li Mu always held the plane high, bullying Lu Xiaoxi for having short hands, so small that she couldn’t reach him. When Lu Xiaoxi was about to cry, his plane would crash onto her head, hiding in the girl’s hair.

He felt a bit moved—

“Welcome!” The cashier was a young lady, seemingly working part-time.

There were quite a few people in the store, all girls.

The two-yuan store was very popular among girls, and Lu Xiaoxi was no exception.

“Li Mu, look!” Lu Xiaoxi somehow found a row of nail stickers and compared them on her hand.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t be taken apart; otherwise, she would want to stick them on right now.

“Too flashy; you don’t even keep your nails.”

“Who said you can’t stick them on if you don’t keep your nails?”

“Go ahead and buy them; call me when you’re done.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing; I’ll just browse a bit.” Li Mu placed his laptop on the cashier’s counter, asking her to keep an eye on it while he wandered around.

He found the building blocks and checked the brand; it was generic, or rather, a knockoff, as the genuine ones wouldn’t appear in such low-cost stores.

The little girl was very happy, like a curious baby, looking left and right, and soon bought a basket full of small trinkets, various ornaments, and decorations, mainly focusing on stocking up.

For just two yuan, she could buy a ton of beautiful hair ties.

She found two small trinkets on another shelf, which were various cute animal keychains.

She picked out the little dog and little pig keychains; this little dog looked perfect for Li Mu.

As for this little pig… it was a Little Pig.

In total, she spent over thirty yuan, stuffing a big pile of small trinkets into her little shoulder bag.

After leaving the store,

Lu Xiaoxi took out the little dog keychain like it was a treasure, making a “deng deng deng” sound effect with her mouth.

“Here, for you; I’m generous, right?”

“Wow! Little pig Mu is so generous, giving me a gift worth two yuan.” Li Mu exaggerated his expression, playing along with her, and of course, he accepted the gift.

“Stop it; this looks better hanging on a bag.”

“Okay.” Li Mu handed her computer bag back to her and hung the little dog keychain on his own bag.

“It looks pretty good, and it matches you well.”

“I’ll give you a gift too.” Li Mu took out a box of small car building blocks from his pocket.

He had checked out early and had asked the cashier to keep it on the counter, so Lu Xiaoxi didn’t know he had also bought something.

“Building blocks? Li Mu is so childish.”

“Fine, if you don’t want it, then forget it.”

“I want it; I never said I didn’t want it. Why refuse something given for free?”

On the way back, Lu Xiaoxi carried her own computer bag.

She also hung the little pig keychain on her bag.

This truly meant Little Pig, not Little pig Mu.

Really! …?
