Chapter 1035: Hazy Water
The night wind blew gently, and the sea surface was dotted with silver light.

But the little boy seemed to be a little sleepy as he walked, and his eyelids began to droop. He was obviously very tired, after all, he had been playing on the road all day.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei had no choice but to take her back to the hotel first.

Just a few minutes after returning to the hotel, the little boy lay on the bed and refused to move. In the end, Liu Yifei forcibly dragged him to take a shower, blow dry his hair, and change into pajamas.

As soon as he was carried to the bed, the little kid couldn't even lift his eyelids and fell asleep immediately.

The whole little body curled up into a ball, like a kitten snuggling in a nest.

Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the warm yellow light, and her little face was faintly flushed due to the excitement of the day.

His mouth was slightly open, and he seemed to be mumbling something in his dream. The specific words could not be heard clearly, but one could not help but want to get closer to listen.

Li Mu came over.

"How was it? What did you say?" Liu Yifei had just heard it, but didn't hear it clearly. Now she was extremely curious.

Li Mu could barely hear the little kid mumbling in his sleep and couldn't help but find it funny.

"She said she wants to eat ice cream tomorrow."

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating." Liu Yifei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard that.

After the little bun fell asleep, Li Mu also changed into home clothes and sat on the sofa. At this time, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Soft light shone through the half-open bathroom door, and Liu Yifei's figure was vaguely visible.

Li Mu looked at the graceful figure and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Not long after, the sound of water stopped, and Liu Yifei walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in an off-white bath towel, revealing a pair of straight and slender calves. Her skin was as delicate as cream, and was faintly pink due to the steam.

Her long black hair was half wet, with a few strands gently sticking to her cheeks, making her look particularly charming.

She gently raised her slender wrist to fiddle with the loose hair on her forehead, turned around and sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the hair dryer and started blow-drying her hair.

The light shines on her side face, making her delicate facial features more three-dimensional. Her eyelashes are long and slightly curled, casting a faint shadow when she blinks slightly.

Li Mu stood up, walked behind Liu Yifei, and took the hair dryer. "Let me do it."

Liu Yifei looked back at Li Mu, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she leaned gently on Li Mu's belly and handed him the hair dryer.

There was a hint of tiredness in his eyes, but there was also a hint of tenderness because of this intimate concern.

Li Mu gently spread Liu Yifei's hair and felt the soft, silky touch with his fingertips.

As the warm breeze blew by, Liu Yifei slowly closed her eyes and relaxed completely, with a peaceful smile still on the corner of her lips.

Her earlobes were slightly red, and the fine hair on her ears was clearly visible under the light, trembling slightly with Li Mu's movements, making her look more charming.

"Are you tired today?" Li Mu asked in a low voice.

"It's okay. It's mainly because the little guy is too excited and full of energy." Liu Yifei opened her eyes and looked at Li Mu through the mirror with a faint smile in her eyes.

"She is excited, but what about us?" Li Mu bent down, leaned close to her ear and whispered.

Liu Yifei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she raised her hand and gently pushed him, "Can't you be serious?"

"What's wrong with me?" Li Mu spread his hands innocently, then gently pinched her earlobe and teased, "But, Madam, you are so beautiful tonight that I can't be serious."

Liu Yifei's face flushed, she bit her lower lip, pretended to glare at him, turned around and stood up, "If you don't behave properly, I'm leaving!"

"No, I was wrong." Li Mu stopped Liu Yifei with a chuckle and took her arm around her waist. He lowered his head slightly and saw the misty water in Liu Yifei's eyes.

At this moment, Liu Yifei stared into Li Mu's eyes and saw deep and hot eyes.

The night sky outside the window is dotted with stars, and the breeze brings a fresh scent through the curtains.

The shadows of the two people intertwined under the soft light, and everything seemed so natural.

In the following week, Li Mu entered the middle and late stages of the film festival review work.

As the chairman of the jury, his task is not only to watch the films, but also to coordinate the opinions of the judges to ensure that the selection of candidates and the final awards is as fair and just as possible.

There were moments of heated discussion among the jury, after all, artistry is sometimes not objective but subjective.

Some people think this is more artistic, while others disagree.

However, a good film will definitely be recognized by most people, such as "The Tragic Triangle" directed by the genius director Ruben Östlund.

In fact, the story is somewhat similar to Huang Bo's "A Good Show".

It mainly describes that when supermodel Yaya and her boyfriend Carl were troubled by relationship problems, they were invited to take part in a luxury cruise ship captained by Woody Harrison, where they met a group of super-rich people who spent money without hesitation.

However, a sudden storm caused the cruise ship to sink, and in an unexpectedly absurd turn, Yaya, Carl, a group of wealthy people and a cleaner drifted to a deserted island. Suddenly, the class system was reversed, and an out-of-control survival storm began.
But in the hands of Ruben Östlund, it becomes a grotesque satire.

The plot of the whole film is divided into three stages. The film uses every possible means to hide satire and analysis of various topics in the details of the plot, from the daily dating life of supermodel couples, the communication between rich people on the luxury cruise ship, to the shocking plot twist in the end, giving Li Mu and the nine judges a roller coaster-like viewing experience.

There is no doubt that almost everyone listed it as a candidate for the Palme d'Or.

There are currently three candidates. Although there are still a few movies I haven’t finished watching, there is a high probability that I will choose from these three.

Li Mu felt that if there were no better movies, "The Tragic Triangle" would most likely win. After all, when it was listed as a candidate, it had 9 votes in favor, while the other two only had 6 or 7 votes.

"OK, I think our work is done."

Jasmine Trica pointed at "The Tragic Triangle" and smiled faintly.

"Oh, Jasmine, don't say that, maybe there are more surprises." Li Mu smiled and shook his head.

"Lee, maybe Jasmine is right."

At this time, Asghar Farhadi also responded with a smile. Although there was controversy at the beginning because of the Iranian movie, things not only returned to normal later, but he also became familiar with Li Mu and they communicated more often.

And after watching "The Tragic Triangle", he voted without hesitation.

"By the way, can I invite you to the premiere of my first work?"

At this moment, Jasmine Trica looked at everyone expectantly.

This Italian actor and director has started directing films in the past two years, and his first feature film will premiere in the special screenings section of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

"Of course!" Li Mu nodded and responded first.

After all, we have worked together for a long time, so we have to give each other some face.

Of course, what impressed Li Mu was his personality. He spoke his mind and talked openly about what kind of movies he liked without any reservation. He was very confident.

In 2016, he served on the jury of the Marrakech Film Festival together with Béla Tarr.

At that Marrakech Film Festival, the jury composed of Béla Tarr, Trica and Australian actor Jason Clarke awarded the grand prize to "The Donor" by Chinese director Zang Xichuan, the Jury Prize to the Italian film "Mysterious Universe" which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, and the Best Director award to Chinese director Wang Xuebao for "Knife in Clear Water".

The other judges also agreed. It was obvious that this was a piece of cake for everyone.
