Lin Qingya slept on Li Mu's shoulder until eleven o'clock. Seeing that the time was approaching, Li Mu gently woke her up. The moment she opened her eyes, Li Mu stood up gently, without letting her see that she had been Her shoulders were wet with tears.
After putting on her coat, Li Mu and Lin Qingya went downstairs to pick up her luggage, drove her to Zaoshi West Station, and put her on the passing train to Yanjing.
Until the two of them separated, no one mentioned the traces of tears on Li Mu's shoulders.
Li Mu slept one night in a hotel in Zao City. After getting up the next day, he returned to Haizhou. When passing by the ecological park, he booked a private room in the ecological park and then drove back to Haizhou. He passed by Pengcheng in the middle. Pengcheng is a big city in Pengcheng City, so Li Mu made a special trip to Pengcheng City to buy two small gifts to give to Su Yingxue and her cousin whom he had not met before during dinner tonight.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yingxue and Wang Xinran left the house together on the pretext of eating Chuan Chuan Xiang. Li Mu was already waiting at the door of Su Yingxue's community.
Wang Xinran was in a particularly good mood. She was really looking forward to meeting Li Mu, not only because he was her sister's boyfriend, but also because he was the director of the popular micro-movie "Oldboy". Most importantly, she actually met him. When they met, I deliberately tested his character that time. The results of that test made Wang Xinran quite satisfied with his performance. I wonder if Li Mu can still remember him when the two formally meet this time.
As soon as Su Yingxue came out of the community, Li Mu saw her. Although the sky had darkened, a familiar figure and clothes could still be seen under the street lights. Su Yingxue was wearing a purple down jacket today, and she was followed by someone who was about the same height as her. The girl was slender and wearing a white down jacket, but Li Mu couldn't see her face clearly.
The two got closer and closer, but because of the backlight, Li Mu could not see their facial features clearly. It was not until the two came to the car and Li Mu got out of the car to help them open the sliding door at the back that he could see Wang Xinran clearly. appearance.
At first glance, Wang Xinran looked sweet and cute, and she was definitely a pretty beauty, but she was even worse than Su Yingxue. Li Mu sighed inwardly that the two of them really looked like sisters.
Wang Xinran smiled generously at Li Mu and said playfully: "Hello, brother-in-law."
Li Mu didn't expect that this little girl had a sweet mouth. He nodded hurriedly to her and said with a smile: "Hello."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mu looked at her smiling face again and suddenly felt that he had seen this girl before somewhere.
The next second, a memory fragment automatically played in his mind. Li Mu recalled that day when he was reshooting the scene about Ji Shen Lao Baigan in the hotel, the little girl who walked in and asked for a role in him. She even offered to accept the unspoken rules at that time. Li Mu was shocked.
Li Mu didn't know that Wang Xinran had actually seen him and Su Yingxue together a long time ago. When he saw him filming that day, Wang Xinran just came in to test him. Li Mu thought that Wang Xinran's performance that day was true, so when he found out that she actually When she saw that she was Su Yingxue's cousin, she felt extremely embarrassed.
Wang Xinran saw that Li Mu looked at her in a strange way. She was so weird that she immediately understood what Li Mu was thinking, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, this is the third time we have met!"
"Three times?" Li Mu couldn't figure it out. Wasn't it the second time
Su Yingxue was also dumbfounded and asked Wang Xinran in surprise: "Xinran, have you two met before? You should have met him once, but he has never met you, right?"
Wang Xinran giggled happily when he saw that both Li Mu and Su Yingxue were confused.
Li Mu saw that Wang Xinran only smiled but did not speak, so he looked at Su Yingxue blankly. Su Yingxue said: "At the earliest, one day Xinran called and said that she was attending classes at the film school and wanted to come to the National People's Congress to go home with me. She hid in the I saw the two of us in the bookstore in front of our school."
Li Mu suddenly realized that it turned out that if it was the first time, then the second meeting at the filming site could be explained clearly. Wang Xinran must have recognized him and came in deliberately to test.
Li Muxin said that it was fortunate that he had always been an upright and upright boy. Otherwise, if he had really gotten mad and become lustful after seeing a beautiful girl coming to his door that day, he would have made a big mistake.
Li Mu smiled helplessly and nodded: "I understand, it turned out that I was deceived by Xinran..."
Li Mu figured it out, but Su Yingxue didn't. She asked Li Mu in surprise: "What's going on? Why can't I understand?"
Li Mu then said, "It seems that Xinran didn't tell you about her second meeting with me."
Su Yingxue looked at Wang Xinran and asked curiously: "Xinran, what's going on? I was confused."
Wang Xinran covered her mouth and smiled: "I'll tell you slowly after we get in the car."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Get in the car first. We have plenty of time to talk slowly."
Li Mu drove to the ecological park. Wang Xinran and Su Yingxue sat in the back row and began to bite their ears. Wang Xinran leaned into Su Yingxue's ear and spoke very quietly. Li Mu couldn't hear anything, but Su Yingxue's expression did reveal some information. She was still full of surprise at first, but then she started to smile and nod. Later, Su Yingxue even laughed out loud, and said to Wang Xinran with a hint of blame: "Why have you never told me about this?"
Wang Xinran said with a smile: "It's boring to say it in advance. I just want to see my brother-in-law's dumbfounded look when he sees me."
The three of them sat down in the hotel box. Li Mu asked Wang Xinran to order some dishes according to her appetite, and he ordered some according to Su Yingxue's taste. After the waiter left, Wang Xinran held his chin and blinked with both eyes. Looking at Li Mu, he asked with a little admiration: "Brother-in-law, you don't know how popular "Oldboy" is now. Our acting classmates have been chatting about this micro-movie on QQ these days, and they all regard it as a miracle film. , everyone was particularly touched after watching it, and it is said that the college students at the film school also highly praised it after watching it."
Li Mu said: "It's actually just an entertainment micro-movie. It's not as awesome as you say."
Wang Xinran said: "It's so amazing. Everyone is obsessed with watching the replay over and over again. Not only us young people, but also my parents, my second uncle and aunt also said after watching it, it was filmed by "Oldboy" It’s very good, and it’s quite popular among middle-aged people.”
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Really?"
"Yes." Wang Xinran said: "That day our family had dinner together, and my sister ran out to look for you. Our whole family was eating and watching in the hotel box. When I saw your name appear at first, my mother also followed My dad whispered, wondering if it was you, and he said that it happened to have the same name, and then they watched it from beginning to end with me, and they all praised the film after watching it."
Li Mu knew that the second uncle and second aunt she was talking about were Su Yingxue's parents. When he first heard that they also liked the short film he made for fun, Li Mu felt somewhat complacent.
At this time, Wang Xinran suddenly thought of a question and asked Li Mu: "Brother-in-law, how did you discover that Du Wei?"
Li Mu said: "Du Wei is the sister of a friend of mine. When I met her, I felt that her image and temperament were particularly suitable for the role of Du Jiayi."
Wang Xinran said: "She also sings very well, it's simply great!"
Li Mu nodded: "That's great."
"But my brother-in-law is the best!"
Li Mu smiled slightly, being humble, but he was happy to accept Wang Xinran's compliments.
Wang Xinran added at this time: "Speaking of Du Wei, you don't know how many girls studying acting now envy her. Including me, it's hard to get into film school, especially for acting majors. If someone has connections, it's okay to say, if it doesn't matter It is easier for child actors or amateur actors who have played some roles before to get admitted. The most difficult thing is for people like me who have no connections and no acting experience, but people like Du Wei who act in a drama become popular all over the country. Yeah, it’s so easy to get into film school.”
Li Mu once heard Su Yingxue talk about Wang Xinran preparing to take the film school entrance examination. Seeing her sigh, he asked: "Are you sure about this year's art exam?"
Wang Xinran shook his head: "I'm not very sure. I feel like I don't have enough advantages."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Why do you think so?"
Wang Xinran said: "I feel that I have no characteristics. Not to mention the senior students in the film school, even compared with the classmates who participated in the acting training class with me, I have nothing to stand out."
Su Yingxue on the side comforted: "Xinran, don't be so unsure. I think you are still very talented in acting. You are quirky and smart. You are much better than those actresses who only know one or two expressions. If you work hard, you will definitely become A wonderful actress."
Wang Xinran smiled: "Sister, thank you for your encouragement. I will work hard and get into the film school first."
After saying that, Wang Xinran looked at Li Mu again and said expectantly: "Brother-in-law, if you make another short film like "Old Boy" or anything else, remember to reserve a role for me to practice? I The requirements are not high, just a few lines."
Li Mu agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, if I still have the chance to make a movie, or if I have a friend making a movie, I will definitely get a role for you."
Wang Xinran immediately poured himself a glass of drink and said cheerfully: "Brother-in-law, just for what you said, I'll toast you."
Li Mu poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Then I wish you success in the art exam."
Wang Xinran nodded, glanced at Su Yingxue, and said with a smile: "I took my sister away to accompany me. She can't be with you during this period, so don't be angry."
Su Yingxue couldn't help but said: "Okay, if you keep talking too much, I won't go with you."
Wang Xinran immediately said wisely: "I was wrong, sister."
…
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yingxue left with her sister-in-law and her family of three. After she left, Li Mu would often look at the cross-shaped anti-theft door key on the keychain and ask himself a question: Is this house worth buying? What for? All that time went into watching the premiere of "Oldboy" with Su Yingxue.
As for Li Mu's little filthy calculations, they basically all came to nothing...
