A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 158 Independent News

Li Muyou remembered... that he had just started working and had just started working with Brother Bie.

One morning, when I learned that Fatty Sui had suddenly... grown up, I was filled with a surprise that words could not describe.

Curiosity, longing, surprise, disbelief, and... a touch of envy.

Especially the way this fat guy was, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, smacking his lips as if reminiscing about the wonderful taste.

It really gave him a feeling of "You deserve to die".

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder... what kind of taste could make him linger like this?

But now, if Sui Kuan were here, he would want to say to Fatty Sui himself:

"Your shallow description is utterly pathetic."

But this process...

He had heard a song with a lyric that went something like: "How can beautiful times be so short..."

Li Mu was completely stunned.

No... wait a minute.

Is there something wrong with me?

Just then, he heard his girlfriend say:

"Oh, so it's true."

"Uh...what?"

"I heard it from Lin Xinru, you all do this..."

"...?"

Upon hearing this, his normal thought process would have been to ask:

"Why do you and Ruby Lin usually talk about such strange topics?"

But now it's like grasping at a straw:

"Really!? She really said that?"

"Yeah...hehe, are you nervous?"

Although he didn't know why she was laughing, Li Mu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

This woman... is such a good person!

Just then, he heard a voice:

"You turned off the light..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Mu swiftly and elegantly reached back and grabbed the item.

Clearly, the night is far from over.

……

But... how should I put it?

No matter how long the night is, even if it's 2 a.m. and someone, covered in sweat, goes to take a shower, and someone else, having had a taste of the fun, follows them into the bathroom and stays for another half hour, or even if it's 4 a.m. and someone isn't sleepy at all, starting out chatting but then starting to act inappropriately, whatever.

In short, the night is finally over.

It lasted all night.

Li Mu was worried that it was almost 6 a.m. and the two of them were still awake, and she was concerned about what would happen to her work later.

It turned out to be a little after 6 o'clock...

"Huh? It's raining?"

The moment she heard her boyfriend's words, Fan Bingbing, who was still half asleep, instantly opened her eyes:

"It's raining!?"

Listen.

Through the curtains, Fan Bingbing also heard the ticking sound, so she quickly got up, opened the curtains, and looked outside.

"Wow, it really rained!! Haha!"

For some reason, she suddenly became very happy, and her laughter was no longer a secret laugh, but a loud, open laugh.

Then, under Li Mu's curious gaze, she quickly returned to the bed and skillfully snuggled into his arms:

"We can sleep in until we naturally wake up!"

"Shh..."

Li Mu quickly covered her mouth, signaling her to be quiet, and then asked:

Why?

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that the props for the indoor scenes broke and we have to redo them? Today is all outdoor shooting, and we can't film if it rains... Hehehe, it would be best if it kept raining, so I can sleep in with you until you naturally wake up... Maybe I can even take you to the airport."

Although she said that, sometimes, sleeping doesn't seem to be that important.

So, by the time Li Mu fell asleep again, it was already broad daylight.

He slept very soundly.

But after waking up, I suddenly discovered...

Where is your girlfriend?

Why is no one here?

The room was empty, but the mess from last night proved to him that none of this was a dream.

"?"

He didn't dare to make a fuss, after all, the assistant director was right next door.

So I quickly found the phone number, wanting to ask where my girlfriend was, and then I saw a message.

"The rain has stopped, time to get back to work. I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you. I'm off to work."

The email was sent at 9:55.

The current time is 2:05 PM.

"bad!"

The moment he saw the time, he jumped up instantly.

Without saying a word, he quickly got dressed.

He had to catch a flight.

His flight was at 4:50, and he didn't know if he would make it in time... Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

A thought popped into my head: What if we don't make it in time... should we just stay here?

But he quickly dismissed the idea as soon as it arose.

No, calm down, control yourself... What did Frowning Bro say again?

Always be more focused and calmer than her...

"..."

He hesitated for a moment, then resolutely walked out.

For no other reason than for a better future.

……

"You're gone?"

"Yes, we're boarding right now."

"……what?"

Li Mu held up his phone, looking at the passengers queuing in front of the economy class aisle, a hint of guilt creeping onto his face.

He could sense his girlfriend's disappointment just by listening to her voice.

but……

"I was mainly worried about interfering with your work while I was there. How are you feeling today?"

"...Not very good. Hehe~"

It wasn't anything special, but she still laughed out loud:

"My mind is filled with you, so I can't get into the mood at all. That's why I only filmed a few less important scenes, hehe..."

"So I was right to leave."

"……snort."

After a soft hum, she too suppressed that lingering feeling of longing:

"I don't blame you for leaving this time, because you explained that it was for my own good... But next time, if I'm with you and suddenly have to leave because of work, you're not allowed to be angry, understand?"

"Yes, I know."

"Hehe, it's a deal?"

"Okay. I'm going to board now, I'll call you when I land."

"No, I've given up hope knowing you're leaving. I'll see if I can catch up on some progress quickly, it's getting dark... I'll contact you when I'm done."

"That's fine too."

Then the call ended.

Sitting in one of the only four business class seats on this small plane bound for Guangzhou, Li Mu fell into thought.

Surprisingly, he gradually figured out how to get along with his girlfriend.

What the guy with the furrowed brows said is indeed true; she is very career-oriented.

Looking ahead, it seems I need to be mentally prepared in this regard.

But as he thought about it, he recalled her scent, and for a moment his mind went blank.

……

Around 7 p.m., after returning to Guangzhou, he sent a message to his girlfriend.

But no reply was received.

So he went straight home.

With his girlfriend absent and the basket unable to form a head, he regained his rationality and took out his notebook again, starting to look up some information online.

My girlfriend didn't finish work until after 9 p.m.

She looked exhausted; she was chatting and doing her skincare routine at the same time, but miraculously, she fell asleep.

Fine.

He hung up the phone and got busy again.

It wasn't until after 11 p.m. that he randomly picked out a book and went back to his bedroom.

I slept without any dreams.

……

Monday, the usual meeting.

After the meeting, Li Mu went directly to the archives room.

I started looking up newspaper and magazine articles from the past few years.

This task is quite demanding, but he doesn't intend to delegate it to others; he plans to do it himself.

While researching and taking notes, he was busy until noon, then took a stack of papers and went to the local news department.

Li Wei and others who had just been promoted to full-time positions were all present.

When they saw him arrive, they all greeted him with smiles.

Li Mu nodded in response, then handed the paper to them:

"I'm planning to do a poll for news, and I'd like to ask you all to help me out. We'll be selecting actresses from 95 onwards. You can write down ten actresses that you think deserve to be in the top ten. There's no need to rank them; just write down their names if you think they're qualified."

"Oh? What kind of news is this?"

Li Wei asked curiously.

But Li Mu didn't say anything, he just chuckled and asked for help.

Seeing that he didn't bring it up, the others didn't ask either. After all, press releases are... they can be public or private.

Writing down a few names is just a small favor.

And it wasn't just them; Li Mu would proactively walk over to any workstation he saw.

They kept calling him "teacher" and asked him to write down a list.

Although these veteran reporters were not from the Ministry of Culture and Sports, they may not be very professional about actors and other such matters, and some may not even be able to accurately grasp the key moment of 95.

But that's okay, new talents emerge in every generation, so just write about the newcomers that everyone knows.

It's okay if you can't write everything; just write as much as you can.

After leaving the local department, he went to other departments.

Some gave it to him on the spot, while others couldn't think of a solution right away and asked Li Mu to come and pick it up after get off work.

Li Mu readily agreed.

Soon, his commotion attracted the attention of many people, including Sui Kuan.

"What are you going to do?"

"I have a news idea and I'd like to try writing it myself."

After excluding everyone else with a single sentence, Li Mu waved his hand:

"I'm going to the archives."

"Uh... okay."

Sui Kuan was stunned for a moment, then could only nod and watch him leave.

Just then, Wu Jun, the older brother who had been busy throughout the entire Ninth National Games and was now taking a break to relax, laughed and said:

"Little Sui."

"Hey, Teacher Wu."

"You're a full-fledged journalist now, so you need to have the ability to independently report news. You have to work towards that goal."

Sui Kuan was taken aback.

He then understood Wu Jun's meaning and nodded:

"Understood."
