Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 66 Waiting

Since Li Mubai wasn't going home for dinner anyway, Jiang Li simply called Sun Sao to report and didn't go home for dinner. After Qin Sisi and the others got off work, they went to Wang Cheng's house to visit Gu Qiu and the children and have dinner together.

Gu Xiaohua also came, and it was only later that Gu Qiu found out that Gu Xiaohua was actually her fellow villager, from the same place. Before when Liu Genhua was there, Gu Xiaohua didn't dare to chat with them, so it was only after she was fired by Liu Genhua that the two of them met and chatted for a few words. It was Gu Qiu who introduced her to the job in the crew.

In fact, this world seems very small. After going around in circles, you will eventually meet the person you are destined to meet.

It is never too late to make friends.

Everyone rushed to the food stall where Jiang Li and Qin Sisi had their first gathering. It had been a long time since they had eaten at a food stall, and Jiang Li really missed it, so history repeated itself and she ordered a plate of snails.

Just when Jiang Li finished one plate and wanted to order another, Qin Sisi reached out to stop her and gave her a very firm rejection.

"I can't eat anymore. If I get an upset stomach, Li Mubai will come after me."

Jiang Li licked her lips with satisfaction, thinking that Li Mubai was really a big devil who was so nosy even when no one was around.

But inexplicably, I felt a little sweet in my heart.

Everyone was actually very curious about her and Li Mubai's current development status, but they were all people who had worked in the entertainment industry and knew that emotional issues were the biggest taboo for popular stars, so Jiang Li did not bring it up, and no one asked, and they all tacitly kept the topic to a whim.

The few of them chatted and had a very enjoyable meal, and it was not until late at night that they parted and went home.

When Jiang Li returned home, she found that Li Mubai had actually moved a table and a chair and was sitting at the door drinking tea.

Jiang Li thought she was dazzled: "What are you doing sitting at the door so late at night?"

Li Mubai choked for a long time and managed to utter two words: "Appreciate the moon."

Jiang Li looked up at the dark sky. Not only was there no moon, but not even a single star. She had no idea which moon Li Mubai was admiring.

"You can enjoy the moon in the yard. What does it look like to sit at the gate?"

"Besides, what's the weather like now? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Jiang Li put away the tea set on the table. Li Mubai followed behind, carrying the table with his left hand and the chair with his right hand, looking very well behaved.

Jiang Li was criticizing him and teaching him a lesson, but Li Mubai was like a fool, with a smile on his face.

Jiang Li came back, and Li Mubai's heart finally went home with her.

Li Mubai was celebrating the director's birthday tonight, but because he missed Jiang Li, he went home after dinner and didn't even participate in the second half of the event. He hurried home, but found that Jiang Li had gone out to play by herself and didn't even come back for dinner.

If Li Mubai hadn't known that Jiang Li was going to have dinner with Qin Sisi, he would have wanted to go out and look for her.

Li Mubai threw two sets of punches, but Jiang Li did not come back.

Li Mubai finished taking a bath, but Jiang Li had not come back yet.

Li Mubai personally cut a plate of fruit, filling it with Jiang Li's favorite oranges and strawberries, but Jiang Li had not returned yet.

Li Mubai trimmed all the flowers and plants in the yard, and even picked a few fresh flowers, put them in a vase and sent it to Jiang Li's room. When everything was ready, Jiang Li had not returned yet.

Li Mubai watched the hour and minute hands turning slowly in circles, wishing he could reach out and move them faster.

Seeing Li Mubai's restless look, Mrs. Sun felt both distressed and amused. She went into the kitchen, made him a cup of calming tea and brought it to the living room.

"Master, don't worry too much. With Chen Luo accompanying us, nothing will happen. Miss Jiang Li may be back soon."

"Ok!"

Li Mubai uttered an "hmm", but suddenly walked out of the yard, and came back sadly after a while.

This was the fourth time Li Mubai had auditory hallucinations tonight. As he sat there, he heard noises at the door. He went out several times but found the door quiet, so he came back dejectedly.

Li Mubai felt that this was too tiring, so he simply moved the table and chairs to the front door and sat there. He asked Mrs. Sun to bring him tea, and then he sat outside and waited by himself.

Seeing Jiang Li coming back, Mrs. Sun hurried out to greet her: "Thank God Miss Jiang Li is back! If she hadn't come back, the young master would have had to sit outside all night."

Jiang Li then realized that Li Mubai was waiting for her at the door.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"What else? Am I really going to sit at the gate and admire the moon? I'm not a fool!"

Seeing Li Mubai's unpleasant tone when he spoke, Jiang Li was amused.

"I think you are not far from being an idiot. I am not a child. Why are you so nervous about going out for a meal?"

"Who knows! What if you suddenly disappear like last time!"

Only after Li Mubai blurted out this sentence did Jiang Li realize what Li Mubai was really worried about.

The last time she suddenly disappeared, it might have been a big shock to Li Mubai.

She always comes and goes as she pleases, without even saying hello. For him, she makes him feel insecure.

Jiang Li recalled the chat with Qin Sisi this afternoon, and her expression became even gloomier.

"Li Mubai, I didn't mean to disappear... I..."

Jiang Li didn't know how to explain all this. If she told the truth, what would Li Mubai think of her? What would he choose?

Seeing Jiang Li's expression suddenly changed, Li Mubai felt very regretful.

He reached out and held Jiang Li's cold hands, regretting, "I know, I'm not blaming you, I just..."

"I was just worried about you..."

He knew that the little fairy did not belong to this place, and that he had already used up half his life's luck to meet her, but he still wanted to keep her, to let her stay with him for a little longer, a little longer...

He believed that the fairy must have thought the same, but she had no way...

It was at this time that Jiang Li discovered that Li Mubai was wearing a watch on his hand, which looked somewhat familiar at first glance.

"This watch..."

Li Mubai looked at the watch on his hand, his eyes and tone softened: "I found this watch in your room after you left last time. I think this is the gift you want to give me."

Jiang Li nodded with a sigh: "Yes, I wanted to give it to you after you received the award, but I didn't expect..."

But I didn't expect it to be too late, everything happened so suddenly.

This watch is a classic collector's item even in 2023. At first glance, she thought it was very suitable for Li Mubai. Although it was very expensive, Jiang Li gritted her teeth and bought it. Unexpectedly, they separated before she could give it to him personally.

"I guessed that this was something you were going to give me, so I put it on on my own initiative. I accidentally knocked it while filming a while ago, so I sent it out for repair, and I just happened to get it back today."

"Li Li, thank you for the gift you prepared for me. I really like it."

Jiang Li stared at Li Mubai for a moment. The evening breeze brought the scent of osmanthus to her nose. The air seemed to flow slowly and sweetly. Jiang Li curled her lips slightly and said, "I'm glad you like it. It's worth my while to buy it in time."

Li Mubai, I will prepare more gifts for you in the future.

"Li Li, actually, I have prepared a gift for you as well."

"Huh? A gift?"

"Well, I have prepared the gift last time. Wait for me."

After Li Mubai finished speaking, he went upstairs. When he took out the things, Jiang Li recognized that it was the trophy for "Best Actor" that he won that time.

"This trophy is the first "Best Actor" trophy in my life. I give it to you today, hoping..."

"I hope I can be the first and only male protagonist in your life."

Jiang Li's heart was overwhelmed when she heard this, and she said in a lost voice: "Li Mubai, I..."

"Lili, listen to me. I've liked you since the first time I saw you. Later, as we spent time together day and night, I fell in love with you and couldn't help myself. I know you have concerns and worries, but I hope you know that no matter who you are or where you come from, it can't change the fact that I love you."

"But……"

Jiang Li looked into Li Mubai's eyes, her eyes sparkling with moisture: "But if our love is destined not to last long?"

"I pray to be with you forever, and hope to be with you forever. But if it can't be forever, I also hope to live up to my original intention. If you are here, I love you, if you are not here, I will wait for you."

Wait……

The word "wait" made Jiang Li burst into tears.

How long can he wait?

How long will he wait?

a year?

Two years?

He might be able to wait for a year or two, but if...

What if it lasts a lifetime?

Will Li Mubai really wait forever?

But how could she bear to let him wait for a lifetime?

"Li Mubai, I also...I also like you, but..."

"Pear."
