Chapter 70: He and She Had Become a Habit.

The school side.

The weather was very hot, and Li Mu had already started to sweat a bit.

In contrast, the petite girl showed no signs of sweating, her body still smooth and dry.

It seemed to be a universal rule that boys sweat more easily than girls.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxi didn’t make him carry the laptop bag; otherwise, he would have been drenched in sweat, and sitting in class like that would have made him feel uncomfortable.

Lu Xiaoxi glanced at him, unzipping her small crossbody bag to search for something.

Li Mu was a bit curious and wanted to see what this small bag she carried contained.

Inside were small packets of tissues, oil-absorbing sheets, a bag of toothpicks, and chewing gum. The last “garlic odor incident” seemed to have left her with a psychological shadow, so she carried gum to prevent bad breath from eating something smelly. There was also another layer inside, bulging with something unknown.

“Here, oil-absorbing sheets.” Lu Xiaoxi handed him the whole pack, “Wipe your sweat and oil off your face.”

“Thank you.” Li Mu took it, wiped his face, and the oil-absorbing sheet became damp in one spot, leaving the wiped area feeling dry and fresh.

“You don’t need to say thank you in the future; it feels so distant. We’ve known each other for so long.”

After all, they had known each other since birth.

“Then… how about gratitude?”

“Get lost.”

“Then you shouldn’t say it either.”

“Okay, I won’t say it in the future; no one should say it.”

“Thank you~” Li Mu mimicked Lu Xiaoxi’s tone, coming out with a rather effeminate remark.

Not only was Lu Xiaoxi disgusted, but he couldn’t escape unscathed either. The so-called “wounding 1000, self-damaging 800” meant that if someone they knew heard it, it wouldn’t just be a simple self-damage of 800.

The teacher was relatively young.

As soon as he entered, he posted a link in the class group. As a former experienced user, Li Mu recognized it at a glance; it was a cloud storage link.

According to the teacher, it contained the software programs needed for the class, all learning versions that needed to be downloaded to the computer.

He quickly saved the software, opened the cloud storage to download it. Since he was connected to the campus network, even though Li Mu had an SVIP account, the download speed was still not fast.

One could only say that it was indeed the campus network.

Lu Xiaoxi was still pondering over the registration page.

She had never used this cloud storage before; she chose to register via WeChat, but had to fill in her phone number and enter the verification code. She checked her phone several times to ensure she hadn’t made a mistake, but the verification code took a long time to arrive.

Finally, it came through. She logged in, saved the file, and clicked download, but the speed was only over 100 kb, which would take ages.

“Don’t open that lousy membership; it’s a waste. Once I finish downloading, I’ll package it for you.” Li Mu blocked the QR code on the screen, preventing her from spending money.

His own account was a member.

25 yuan a month, and he would probably only use it this once; it was better to give it to him.

“Okay!” Lu Xiaoxi nodded vigorously; she also thought that opening this membership was a huge waste, and it was better to buy Li Mu a day instead.

Their seats were in the back row of the classroom.

In classes that didn’t require a computer, she often sat in the front row to study hard, while Li Mu would sit in the middle or back row, choosing between studying and playing on his phone.

In classes that required a computer, she would drag Li Mu along because she had too many computer-related questions she didn’t understand. Most of the time, she needed someone to answer her questions, and it just so happened that there was this computer expert nearby, really.

“Your cloud storage has so many things, including study materials. I didn’t know you loved studying so much.” Lu Xiaoxi saw the dense folders on his computer screen, all kinds of software, one folder named [Study].

No wonder this guy could learn so much in such a short time; he must not rely solely on my notes.

“Uh, well, haha, it’s like this; I’ve always liked studying.” Li Mu quickly closed the cloud storage interface.

It seemed that the petite girl wearing glasses wasn’t necessarily a good thing; her gaze was sharp. He quickly changed the subject.

“Once it’s done, I’ll send it to you; check QQ.”

“Oh, got it.” Lu Xiaoxi downloaded the file.

“Your level is so high; I’m only level 40.” Lu Xiaoxi pointed at his QQ interface, which surprisingly showed level 81.

Her account was created together with Li Mu; to be precise, Li Mu helped her create it, so her password was Li Mu’s password. Until now, neither of them had changed their password.

Li Mu filled her life, being everywhere and closely related. She also filled Li Mu’s life; they were just too familiar with each other, having become accustomed to everything about him and her.

“I need it for gaming; I keep it open all the time.” Li Mu opened his account information for her to see.

“119 years old, you really have been possessed.”

“119 years is the limit for QQ, not my limit.”

Lu Xiaoxi chuckled softly; Li Mu’s account information was all made up, with the only real thing being his gender.

Once most students finished installing the software, the teacher began the class.

As for those who hadn’t finished installing, it didn’t matter; there would generally be a recording.

Lu Xiaoxi focused intently, trying her best to familiarize herself with various operations. If she didn’t understand or remember something, she would ask Li Mu.

For a moment, Li Mu felt like he was the teacher; of course, he wouldn’t mind if Lu Xiaoxi called him Teacher Li Mu.

It felt… quite exciting?

It was also Li Mu’s first time learning these things, and many operations were relatively unfamiliar, but he could remember the teacher’s demonstrations and keep up with the class pace.

Many students who encountered difficulties would ask the teacher to demonstrate again, and Li Mu took this opportunity to teach Lu Xiaoxi.

Lu Xiaoxi was like his Pomodoro timer, chatting with him every so often to urge him to study.

If the two of them were the same gender, it would just look like ordinary classmates learning from each other. But since they were of different genders, sitting together in an empty space inevitably led to wild speculation.

In the last row, Lin Sheng nudged the nearby Old Yang, who was playing on his phone, and whispered, “Old Yang, what do you think the relationship between Brother Mu and that Lu Xiaoxi is?”

“A couple at first glance.” Old Yang glanced over and made a conclusion.

“Really? He told me last time that he and Lu Xiaoxi are from the same hometown.”

“Ah? Hiss—” The boy called Old Yang took another look at Li Mu and Lu Xiaoxi.

These two often sat together in class, sitting close, and most people would think they were a couple.

“Do you believe it?”

“I don’t believe it. I guessed they were childhood friends, but Brother Mu denied it.”

“I can’t say either; it’s not like there aren’t very good friends of the opposite sex… Why do you care about this?”

“Damn, if Brother Mu finds a girlfriend, should I be happy or sad?”

“What does it matter to you if he finds a girlfriend? Oh, so someone still doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

Old Yang showed Lin Sheng the item in his hand, called [Girlfriend’s Hair Tie].

“Wow, wow, wow, love dogs shouldn’t talk about it.”

“I used to think the same.” Old Yang laughed at him.

In the boys’ dormitory, they would often say they would be single for life, eating and drinking well, and whoever found a partner was a dog. But once they had a girlfriend, they couldn’t wait to show off to the single friends in the dorm.

The essence of humanity is still double standards; before having a partner, love dogs wouldn’t talk about it; after having a partner, it was truly fragrant.

In a terrible environment, there were still those who yearned for love.
