How to beat Lux as Milio: the early game

Levels 1-3 belong to Lux: her Q root and E zone out-range your kick by a mile, and a single landed Q chains into free poke that your single-target Q heal can't answer, so hug W bush, dodge her skillshots, and never step into E range without her Q down. Her reach beats your kick by a wide margin and one root can end the exchange, so hold position and heal through the chip. Keep the campfire behind your own line, and shield your carry on the root itself rather than reacting once the burst is already in flight.
