Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 132 Waiting for the End

1981, Hong Kong Film Studio.

As soon as the director shouted "Cut", Li Mubai took off his costume and walked towards the dressing room. But just after he took two steps, he heard Gu Zhen's voice behind him.

"Mubai, I got off work early today. Do you want to have dinner together?"

Gu Zhen said this very generously and openly, and smiled slightly, which made the prop teacher who came to pack up couldn't help but stare at her. Gu Zhen was a traditional beauty, looking generous, elegant and indifferent. When she asked Li Mubai so gently, the prop teacher wanted to nod and agree on behalf of Li Mubai, and couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"Sorry, I have a date tonight."

Li Mubai nodded slightly. His tone was gentle and polite, but Gu Zhen could hear a hint of alienation in his words.

The props teacher who was packing up nearby didn't dare to make a sound.

Did he just hear wrongly?

Movie queen Gu Zhen invited Li Mubai to dinner, but Li Mubai refused!

There are not many people in this world who dare to refuse Gu Zhen, and Li Mubai may be the only one.

However, Li Mubai doesn't even take a woman like Gu Zhen seriously, so I don't know what kind of fairy-like figure can win Li Mubai's heart.

After being rejected once again, Gu Zhen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She was obviously so nice, why wasn't Li Mubai interested?

Gu Zhen has always been proud of her noble character. She was not moved by the many wealthy families who spent a lot of money to have a meal with her. Some people even used the best resources to please her, but she was disdainful. She never disdained these material things and looked down on those so-called children of wealthy families. But Li Mubai was different. He was someone who Gu Zhen, who considered herself to be aloof, could rarely be moved by. He was someone she was willing to give up some of her dignity to seek a further step with.

But it has been so long that Gu Zhen can no longer hide his loss.

She looked at Li Mubai sadly and asked, "Li Mubai, it's been more than half a year. Are you still waiting for her?"

Li Mubai suddenly stopped the steps he had taken, as if his whole body had withdrawn.

After a long time, he said solemnly: "I have waited for so many years, am I still afraid of these six months?"

As long as it's Jiang Li, he will wait no matter how long it takes.

Li Mubai set off after changing clothes and removing makeup. All the previous excuses he used to refuse Gu Zhen were excuses, but today he really had something to do.

Li Xingmu has his birthday today and has invited everyone to dinner.

When Li Mubai arrived, almost everyone was there except him.

Seeing him come in, Wang Jingruo started to scold him: "Li Mubai, you are the slowest again! You got an award recently, so you are getting cocky, right? Are you being a big shot?"

As Li Mubai walked in, he said calmly, "If you have the ability, you can also float one!"

Although Li Mubai said so, he was late today not because he was being a big shot, but because everyone else arrived too early. These young masters had nothing to do, and when they heard there was a game, they arrived earlier than anyone else.

Wang Jingruo was furious when he heard this. He wanted to show off, but no one organized a food, drink and entertainment competition!

What the hell is this ranking of dude kids? It really pissed me off!

Seeing that the two of them had a disagreement and started arguing again, Li Xingmu quickly stepped out to smooth things over. While leading Li Mubai to his seat, he raised his glass and thanked everyone for coming to celebrate his birthday with him.

In fact, since we grew up, everyone has been busy with their own things, and it is really rare for us to get together today. Li Xingmu, the birthday boy, kept inviting everyone to eat and drink, and was very responsible.

After three rounds of drinking, several people's faces were flushed, and Wang Jingruo even stuttered: "Li... Li Mubai, you said... Jiang Li went back to her hometown to do some work... Why... why hasn't she come back for so long?"

"What...what takes so long? No...it can't be a happy...happy event, right?"

"It's just...it's just a wedding. It should have been done a long time ago!"

"Could it be that you are still...still harboring...?"

When Li Xingmu heard Wang Jingruo mention Jiang Li, he put down the wine glass in his hand and looked over.

Jiang Li had been gone for half a year. Although Li Mubai hadn't said anything during this period, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was obviously not as good as before, and even his occasional smile was not clear.

Seeing that Li Mubai's mouth was drooping at this time, not because he was angry but a little depressed, Li Xingmu quickly came out and laughed.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Li Mubai is here, who can Jiang Li marry? Wang Jingruo, you are really drunk!"

Wang Jingruo's eyes were blurry and his mind was shaking for a few times before he came to his senses and said, "That's true. Even if Li Mubai is gone, I'm still here! And Lili can't marry anyone else!"

Li Mubai's face turned even darker after hearing this.

"Wang Jingruo, you really dare to dream."

"Dreaming? Why shouldn't I be afraid of dreaming? What I like most is to dream..."

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly there were several knocks on the door. After Li Xingmu said "Come in", Zhou Qian ran in hurriedly.

"Brother Bai, there's a call from home, saying... saying..."

Zhou Qian said the rest of the sentence in Li Mubai's ear. When Li Mubai heard this, his face changed.

Without saying a word, Li Mubai stood up.

"Xing Mu, I have something else to do. I have to go first."

Li Xingmu saw that his face was not right, so he stood up as well: "What happened?"

Li Mubai leaned close to Li Xingmu's ear and said something. After hearing it, Li Xingmu's eyebrows raised.

"Then hurry back!"

Li Mubai nodded and raised his glass: "I have something to do and I have to leave first. Brothers, you continue."

After finishing a glass of wine, Li Mubai turned around and left. Wang Jingruo shouted "Hey, hey, hey" several times behind him, but Li Mubai ignored him.

Wang Jingruo grabbed Li Xingmu's sleeve and asked hastily, "Why did Li Mubai leave so quickly? Was his house on fire or collapsed?"

Li Xingmu looked at Wang Jingruo's drunken eyes, thought for a few rounds, and decided not to let Wang Jingruo, this time bomb, cause trouble for the time being.

"It's okay. The chickens at home ran away, so he went back to check."

"Oh~"

Wang Jingruo slowly let go of Li Xingmu's sleeve.

"Li Mubai is such a nuisance. Look, even the chickens at home don't want to live with him!"

Li Xingmu laughed twice, but in his heart he was thinking, if the chicken doesn't want to live, then it doesn't have to live, as long as someone lives with him...

Along the way, Chen Luo was driven so fast that his feet were smoking. In the 20-minute drive, he took his foot off the accelerator four or five times. Li Mubai was so anxious that he wanted to spread his wings and fly back. Chen Luo thought, what's the point of being steady and aloof? When I meet that person, all of them are useless.

Li Mubai opened the car door before the car stopped completely. When Zhou Qian got out of the car, Li Mubai was gone. He ran faster than the Flash.

Li Mubai ran home like crazy, until he stepped into the door and saw a sleeping figure lying on the sofa, his heart finally sank.
