Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 19 The Hostess's Posture

The next day, the weather was sunny, Hong Kong was still prosperous, and people were still busy.

After four busy days, the crew that Jiang Li was in finished filming. She was happy that she could get her salary immediately, but she was disappointed that once the filming was finished, she would not be able to work with Qin Sisi.

Jiang Li had a wrap-up dinner with all the crew members, and made an appointment with Qin Sisi to go shopping together the next day, then she received her salary and went home happily. On the way home, Jiang Li also went to the market to buy a lot of meat and vegetables, ready to thank Li Mubai.

Two days ago, she gave advance notice that she would treat Li Mubai to a meal after receiving her salary. But Li Mubai said that there was no need to go out specially, eating at home was fine, he liked the food she cooked. Jiang Li thought that her cooking was really good, so she didn't think that Li Mubai was just being polite. It just so happened that Li Mubai had been busy filming recently, and the food he cooked was more nutritious and fresh.

I thought Li Mubai would be back very late, but I didn't expect that Jiang Li had just put down her things in the kitchen when she felt some movement in the house, and the noise came from Li Mubai's room.

Was there a thief or did he come back early?

Jiang Li picked up the rolling pin from the kitchen and tiptoed to Li Mubai's room to check. She found that his door was wide open and Li Mubai had taken off his shirt and was looking in the mirror.

It was the first time Jiang Li saw Li Mubai shirtless, and she felt like she was going to get stye. He was the type who looked thin when dressed but had muscularity when undressed, with a broad back, a thin waist, firm but not exaggerated muscles, and just the right amount of smooth lines.

Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed for a moment, thinking that she shouldn't be here to take advantage of Li Mubai's favor and should retreat immediately. But after taking another reluctant look, Jiang Li discovered that Li Mubai was holding a cotton swab in his hand and applying medicine in front of the mirror.

Taking a closer look, I saw some red spots on Li Mubai's body, which looked a bit scary.

"what happened to you?"

Li Mubai had heard Jiang Li coming in a long time ago, so he didn't panic. He turned around calmly and explained, "We filmed a water scene today. The water in the pond was not clean, so I'm allergic to it."

Jiang Li walked closer and saw that his chest, back, and arms were all covered with a large red rash, covering a fairly large area.

"Have you seen a doctor?"

"I have seen it and taken the medicine."

Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh. It is said that celebrities make a lot of money, but some money is not so easy to earn back.

If you have soaked in a pond, it is likely that not only your upper body but also your lower body will be in trouble. This kind of rash is the most torturous and it itches terribly, but you can't scratch it. The more you scratch, the larger the infected area will be.

"Can't you wipe my back?"

"Well, I've wiped other places, but the back is a little difficult to wipe."

Seeing how hard Li Mubai was struggling just now, it was clear that he couldn't wipe it. At this time, Jiang Li didn't care about the taboos between men and women. She put down the rolling pin in her hand and reached out to take the cotton swab from Li Mubai's hand.

"I'll wipe it for you!"

"Thank you!"

Li Mubai cooperated by showing her his back, and his expression relaxed a lot.

Jiang Li carefully applied the ointment to Li Mubai with a cotton swab, and blew it habitually after finishing. When Li Mubai's body stiffened, she realized something was wrong. She originally thought that blowing the ointment would make it easier to dry, but Li Mubai was a little restless, so she remembered that this rash is most afraid of itching, and she probably made it worse by blowing it. She didn't dare to blow it again, and just applied it to each red dot honestly.

After applying medicine to all the red spots on Li Mubai's body and checking thoroughly to make sure there were no missed spots, Jiang Li stood up.

"It seems like you won't have a good meal today. I wanted to cook you some delicious food, but now you can only have plain porridge."

Jiang Li couldn't see Li Mubai's face, but she heard him laugh: "I'm sick at the wrong time."

"It's okay. I'll be on vacation for the next 10 days. I'll have plenty of time. I'll make you something delicious when you get better."

As she spoke, Jiang Li had already twisted up the ointment.

"If you feel itchy, you have to endure it and never scratch it! This kind of rash is the most troublesome. When it itches, you want to scratch it, but the more you scratch, the worse it gets. It's very difficult to treat."

"Also, if you take a shower tonight, take a cold shower. Never use hot water. This kind of rash will become more itchy when it encounters heat."

"I'll wipe you again after you take a shower tonight."

Although I have applied ointment now, it will be rubbed off when I put on clothes, so I still need to apply the ointment frequently.

Li Mubai suddenly had an allergic reaction, and Jiang Li no longer had the mood to cook for him. There were many things that Li Mubai couldn't eat now, and if she cooked for herself, she was afraid that Li Mubai would be greedy, so she finally decided to just cook some millet porridge and stir-fry some light vegetables.

Li Mubai had nothing to do anyway, so he asked to help Jiang Li. However, Li Mubai had never been in the kitchen before, so he didn't know what he could and couldn't do, so he could only ask for the job of peeling garlic and washing vegetables. Jiang Li was picking vegetables nearby, and while picking she introduced to him which vegetables were for eating the leaves, which were for eating the stems, which were onions, and which were garlic. Li Mubai listened carefully and observed meticulously, just like an obedient elementary school student.

For a short while, Jiang Li and Li Mubai didn't speak. There was only the rhythmic and crisp sound of picking vegetables and the sound of rushing water. But the magical thing was that neither of them felt embarrassed. Instead, they felt very comfortable.

After Li Mubai picked the vegetables, he inadvertently looked up at the glass in front of him and found two blurry figures standing side by side reflected on the glass. Both of them were tall and thin, and the height difference was particularly suitable. They looked very warm and well-matched.

Li Mubai suddenly felt warm. Being with Jiang Li, he seemed willing to do anything and eat anything. He must have been poisoned by Jiang Li, and he had taken this poison a long time ago.

Li Mubai fell ill one after another due to filming, so the crew simply gave him a few days off and filmed other people's scenes first so that he could take good care of his body.

Sometimes Jiang Li and Li Mubai didn't see each other for a whole day before. Now suddenly both of them have become "vagrants", staying at home with nothing to do. For a while, neither of them knew what to do.

Later, Jiang Li felt that the house was a bit desolate and monotonous, so she ran to the flower market and had someone bring back a bunch of flowers and plants. Only then did the two of them start the "real business" of taking care of flowers and plants.

Jiang Li actually doesn't know much about flowers. When she goes to the flower market to buy things, she just goes by her intuition. If she likes a flower and the price is right, she will place an order and give the boss a little tip to have the flower delivered to her home.

After all, Li Mubai was a well-known actor and it was not convenient for him to meet guests, so when people delivered things to him, he hid in the living room and listened to Jiang Li making decisions alone in the yard.

"Put this pot here, put that plant there..."

"Oh, yes, yes, this bonsai will look good here!"

In fact, there were only Jiang Li, a woman, and two masters in the yard, but Li Mubai felt as if his yard was filled with thousands of troops and was extremely lively.

Although it was a bit noisy, Li Mubai felt that this feeling was very good, especially when Jiang Li stood in the yard with her hands on her hips and gave orders, she looked like a hostess.

hostess……

Li Mubai originally just wanted to stay in this house for a while, but he didn't expect that the longer he lived there, the less he wanted to move out.

If Jiang Li didn't leave, Li Mubai felt that he could live here with her for the rest of his life.

But, little fairy, can you really not leave?
