Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

When Jiang Li got up the next day, she found the house empty.

Li Mubai's door was wide open, but no one was inside.

Jiang Li took the opportunity to observe and found that Li Mubai's room was not big. The furniture looked like it was left by his ancestors, which was particularly old, but it was well maintained and looked very clean and tidy. Li Mubai's room was also very clean, even the quilt was neatly folded. Looking at Li Mubai's clean desk and neatly folded quilt, Jiang Li suddenly felt ashamed.

Thinking of how she never folded her quilt when she got up, and how the quilt on her bed was now rolled up into a mess, Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. Thinking of this, Jiang Li quickly walked back to her room, then reached out and closed the door with a "click".

After thinking about it, she walked to Li Mubai's door and reached out to close his door. With a "click" sound, Jiang Li felt a lot more relieved.

As the old saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. This is an eternal truth.

Jiang Li went into the bathroom to wash up. Looking at the two mouthwash cups neatly placed on the sink and the two towels neatly hung on the towel rack, she actually had the illusion that she and Li Mubai were living together as a couple.

Jiang Li shook her head, turned on the faucet and rinsed her face with cold water to calm herself down.

Fortunately, she is a woman of the new era, and has a high level of understanding and acceptance of cohabitation. In her era, it is common for men and women to share a house for work reasons, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

Jiang Li quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, preparing to go downstairs to make breakfast.

When passing by the dining table, Jiang Li found a note on the table with a few large words on it: "I have to go out for something and will be back in the evening."

I didn’t expect Li Mubai to be so thoughtful, and his handwriting is so beautiful.

Because of this explanation, Jiang Li's mood was even better. She packed up the note, hummed a song and went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

Today there are vegetables and onions, and Jiang Li feels that the quality of the plain noodles she cooks has improved a lot.

After happily eating the noodles, Mou Li hummed a song while cleaning the house. She didn't throw down the rag until both the upstairs and downstairs were spotless until she was satisfied.

Jiang Li is not someone who can live a free life with a clear conscience. Although she has no way to go out to work and earn money to pay the rent, she still has to do some work at home within her ability. This is the consciousness that a tenant should have!

So, by the time she finally finished all the housework and sat down, it was two hours later.

Exhausted and thirsty, she made herself a cup of tea and paced to the living room.

I've been so busy these past two days that I haven't had a chance to turn on the TV. Now's a good time to take a break.

Jiang Li turned on the TV, watched the news for a while, jumped through a few channels, and stopped at the movie channel. Just as she was about to change another channel, her fingers on the remote control froze.

Why does that person on TV look so familiar?

Is the one speaking the lines Li Mubai?

The owner of this house, Li Mubai...

The Li Mubai she picked up...

Jiang Li almost couldn't hold the remote control in her hand. She put the remote control down and leaned in front of the TV. With those eyebrows, chin, figure, and voice, who else could it be but Li Mubai! It couldn't be his twin brother!

Jiang Li thought of the entertainment headlines she read last night, and suddenly she felt a throbbing pain in her temples.

There are no coincidences or duplicate names in this world!

The Li Mubai in their family is the award-winning Li Mubai in the newspaper!

But this Li Mubai is too unkind!

Why didn't you explain last night?

Oh my god! She actually picked up a big star and brought him home...

Oh no! She was picked up by a famous star. What kind of luck did she have?

Is it too late to go out and buy a lottery ticket now?

While Jiang Li was still trying to digest it, the phone in the living room suddenly rang, and she was so scared that she almost slipped off the sofa.

The phone at Li Mubai's house rang, should she answer it or not?

If she takes over Li Mubai, will he think she is meddling too much?

If I don’t answer the call, what if something urgent happens?

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over quickly to answer the phone.

Pick up the phone first! What if the other party has something urgent to do? If she asks you who she is, just say she is a cleaner!

Jiang Li cleared her throat, picked up the microphone, put it to her ear, and said seriously, "Hello! Hello!"

"it's me."

Jiang Li didn't react at first. Just when she was about to ask who you were, she heard the person on the other end of the phone speak again.

"Did you eat breakfast?"

Oh! Jiang Li realized it was Li Mubai!

Thinking of Li Mubai's deliberate concealment of his identity, Jiang Li felt depressed. This man looked enthusiastic, but who knows how he might be on guard against her behind her back. So she didn't speak as enthusiastically as she did last night, and simply replied, "I've eaten."

"It's good to have eaten. I will come back later and take you somewhere."

"Huh? Where?"

"We'll talk about it when I get back."

Li Mubai said a few words quickly and hung up. Jiang Li hung up the phone, looked at Li Mubai's big face on the TV screen, and waved her fist fiercely.

Returning to the sofa, Jiang Li prepared to use her sharp eyes, which had been honed from watching countless films, to carefully review Comrade Li Mubai's acting skills.

But I have to say, after watching for more than ten minutes, Jiang Li couldn't find a single fault. Instead, she was drawn into the play by his acting, laughing and crying along with him.

No wonder he won the award! Li Mubai's acting skills are amazing!

However, based on Li Mubai's face and acting skills, if he had been in the entertainment industry, why didn't she have any impression of him? Jiang Li thought about it and realized that there were still many actors of his age who were still active on the screen in 2023. She had also seen many works of old actors when they were young, but she had no impression of having seen any of Li Mubai's movies or TV series. Did he retire at a young age? But even if he retired, he was an award-winning figure after all, so it's not possible that no work had been passed down. Are the films he made too literary and niche?

Jiang Li couldn't figure it out, but she didn't worry about it too much. After all, she would always have time to slowly understand it.

Half an hour later, Li Mubai returned home.

He was wearing a black shirt today, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal half of his well-toned arms, and a pair of beige trousers with the shirt only half tucked into the waistband, which made him look particularly fashionable. When Li Mubai walked in, Jiang Li felt like she was watching a fashion show.

Such a lively and vivid person was actually willing to take her in, Jiang Li decided to temporarily forgive him for concealing his identity.

After a few brief words, Jiang Li realized that Li Mubai was going to take her to apply for an ID card.

He had taken care of both the people and the procedures. Li Mubai had also prepared Jiang Li's identity information long ago, and he just needed to take her through the process.

It turned out that Li Mubai really didn't lie to her, he was really concerned about helping her get an ID card.

Jiang Li quickly changed her clothes and followed Li Mubai out. Perhaps because everything was arranged properly, it didn't take long for Jiang Li to get her Hong Kong ID card.

Although there is no sense of honor, at least I don’t have to be scared every time I go out and hide when I see a SIR.

Jiang Li carefully put the ID card into her pocket, feeling grateful.

"Thank you so much. Now that I have my ID card, I can start looking for a job!"

Li Mubai turned his head slightly while driving: "Are you so anxious to find a job?"

Jiang Li nodded vigorously: "Of course, I will definitely not be a parasite in society!"

Jiang Li's expression was very determined, as if she was going to take over a piece of land in Hong Kong.

"If you're in a hurry to find a job, I know of a job opening."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "What?"

Li Mubai said, "I know there is a production crew looking for a theater assistant. If you want to go, I can ask for you."

Jiang Li sat up straight: "Go!"

As long as she can earn money, she will do anything, even sweeping and mopping the floor!

The most urgent thing is to support yourself first. Only by surviving can you slowly figure out how to get back.

"Okay, I'll ask for you tomorrow."

Today was a double blessing. Jiang Li smiled at Li Mubai out of spite of herself: "Li Mubai, thank you!"

"If you really want to thank me, make me something delicious at noon!"

Jiang Li readily gestured OK: "No problem."

After that, Jiang Li pretended to be calm and natural and continued: "By the way, I turned on the TV today and saw you."

"Oh!"

Li Mubai's face remained calm and he seemed to have no shame about his concealment.

"You must be Li Mubai who received the award, right? We talked about that yesterday, why don't you admit it?"

Li Mubai smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, it's just that the newspaper wrote it too exaggeratedly, it was a bit exaggerated. If I admitted that it was me at that time, I would feel quite conceited!"

"As actors, are you still embarrassed?"

Li Mubai nodded seriously: "Of course, I am still very humble."

Jiang Li laughed twice and thought he was really a dull person.

"What delicious food will Chef Jiang prepare for lunch?"

Jiang Li smiled sweetly and waved her hand: "I won't tell you! Let's go to the vegetable market!"

It seemed that the gap disappeared with this wave, and the atmosphere returned to the relaxed state of last night.

There was still a short distance to go back home, and Jiang Li was just about to close her eyes to take a nap when she felt Li Mubai's eyes glance at the rearview mirror, and then his brows furrowed slightly.

"Are you wearing your seatbelts? Hold on to the handrails, I'm going to race."

“Ah? Biao…Ah!!!”

Before Jiang Li could finish her words, Li Mubai stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away!
