A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 216 Amidst the Busyness

Li Mu had no idea that his girlfriend had already come up with a name for their "brand".

He's on duty right now, being very obedient.

Unfortunately, the work of an office worker means that it's impossible to have the same level of freedom as having a girlfriend.

As is customary for a new leader, he'll likely be working long hours on weekends for at least the next six months. And if we really expect any real change, we'll have to wait until the second half of the year... after all, he's a newcomer.

Speaking of which... since Brother Bie has been promoted to deputy director, does that mean the Department of Culture and Sports is now one reporter short?

They'll probably be hiring new people this year, right?

If a new person is hired, then the shift work will definitely fall to the new person...

His mind wandered to random thoughts, and he yawned listlessly.

After a day of doing nothing, it was time to leave work. On his way home, he passed a newsstand and glanced at the magazines that had just been published that month.

I returned home carrying a bag of things.

Then I saw that unlucky-looking girl playing games...

I suddenly felt resentful:

"You've been playing games all day?"

No.

Fan Bingbing said without turning her head:

"I've had a busy day."

"fart."

Li Mu rolled his eyes.

"You must have started playing games as soon as you woke up! Ugh! No way! I can't accept this!"

"Then resign."

"To be your assistant?"

"Hehe, okay. Then I'll use my assistant when there's something to do, and when there's nothing to do, I'll use my assistant!"

Li Muxin said, "What you're saying is truly human."

I walked over to the computer and watched her skillfully navigate the map...

What level are you?

"It only goes up to level 40, and I've already accumulated hundreds of thousands of experience points."

As Fan Bingbing spoke, she manipulated the strange-looking demon character on the screen to a map and then opened a chat window.

Li Mu then saw a message from someone with the ID "Stone Chronicles":

"Have you gone on your trading trip yet?"

My girlfriend replied in a flurry of words:

"Finished running #24 early"

Strangely enough, even though she typed "#24", when she sent it, the number turned into a yellow head with wide eyes emoticon.

Soon, The Story of the Stone replied:

"Didn't I say I'd wait for you?"

"#132#132, waiting for you? Your meetings take at least two hours. With that time, I could finish the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and a trading trip."

Watching the two chatting, Li Mu asked, puzzled:

"Who is this person?"

"Ding Lei."

"……who?"

"Ding Lei. He's playing too~"

Seeing her boyfriend's ridiculous behavior, Fan Bingbing chuckled:

"This Fantasy Westward Journey 2 is much more fun than Fantasy Westward Journey 1. Although there are still many features that haven't been unlocked, it's definitely more interesting than the first one. At least it doesn't crash anymore."

"Okay. Was the experience great?"

"Yeah, it'll officially launch in June, hehe. I just finished discussing it with him, and I said... could you secretly give me a top-tier pet, or adjust the hidden luck value of my account...?"

"Cheating?"

"Nonsense! How can something in a game be considered cheating?"

For some reason, her tone sounded somewhat guilty:

"It's just... fun, it doesn't really matter."

"He agreed?"

"Hehe, guess."

"How despicable."

"I'll stab you to death!"

Faced with his girlfriend's menacing snarl, Li Mu shrugged.

What's Ding Lei like as a person?

"He's fine, but he's a bit slow. He's always dawdling over everything, whether it's a meeting or an inspection. Every time we team up to do trading, I have to wait for him. So I just decided not to take him with me anymore."

"He's the boss, after all."

"I'm the spokesperson! Stop dawdling! Once the game lets in PvP, I'll chop him down every single day!"

"..."

Fine.

Li Mu didn't understand what she was saying.

The main reason is that his experience with "Fantasy Westward Journey 1" was so bad that he couldn't muster any interest in this game.

"You go play, I'll go cook."

"I want to eat beef!"

"Don't you not eat beef?"

"I'll stab you to death!"

The young couple's ordinary daily life began.

……

Fan Bingbing stayed in Li Mu's place for a weekend, and on Monday, she rushed to Shenzhen without stopping.

Her project, a film and television series called "Special Police Flying Dragon," has started production.

So, on Monday evening after get off work, Li Mu started commuting for the first time.

He finished get off work at 5 pm and arrived in the relatively unfamiliar city of Shenzhen at almost 7 pm.

According to his girlfriend, Sammo Hung brought his son to the set for this film, and everyone, including her, was just there to set up the stage.

However, considering Sammo Hung's status in Hong Kong, even if it's just a stage for a performance, many people would still want to get in.

And the female lead, the police officer who goes by the alias Yu Feng... well, she's quite a character.

This was the first time Li Mu had ever been arrested in his life.

Then... after experiencing a series of "inhuman" tortures, he finally confessed under duress, with a "I'd rather die than tell" attitude, and succumbed to Officer Yu's round-toed leather shoes.

And you know what...

He's an actor after all; he can convincingly portray any role.

However, this was the first time he had experienced his girlfriend's state at work.

The crew usually wraps up around 7 or 8 pm every day, and sometimes there are even night shoots that go on until 10 or 11 pm. When we get back, we're completely exhausted.

After a few hours of quick sleep, around 6 a.m., she got up almost at the same time as Li Mu, half-asleep and half-tired, and got into the car to head to the film set again.

They work an average of 10 hours or more every day, so the workload is really heavy.

But there's actually only so much that Li Mu can do.

He didn't understand the acting profession either; the only thing he could do was cook her a pot of soup after get off work.

Furthermore, the requirements for the soup are not low: it cannot be too high in calories, it must be easy to digest, and it must ensure that there will be no edema the day after drinking it.

So Li Mu bought a book on "health-preserving soups" and started learning by following the recipes in it.

From white fungus and lotus seed soup to longan and red dates...

Putting everything else aside, he's certainly honed his soup-making skills over the past month. And perhaps the humid weather has also played a part? In this damp and humid climate, a bowl of hot soup... well, for Fan Bingbing, it really does have a certain comforting quality.

Time flies, and March is drawing to a close amidst the humid weather.

In the blink of an eye, April has arrived.

……

April 1st, April Fool's Day.

And you know what... in Li Mu's experience, all sorts of Western holidays have sprung up like mushrooms after rain this year.

From Valentine's Day to April Fool's Day... he didn't even know what fun there was in April Fool's Day, a holiday full of random jokes. Fan Bingbing, on the other hand, had all sorts of wicked tastes. He was at work when Fan Bingbing called him directly.

"Hey, I've brought you your food. Come out quickly, I'm at your workplace entrance."

Li Mu didn't realize at first, thinking she had really arrived. Muttering to himself, "Why aren't you filming properly? What are you doing wandering around here?" he walked to the entrance of the workplace.

Then, like a complete idiot, he looked left and right, and finally dialed his girlfriend's number:

Where are you?

The answer obtained is:

"Hahaha, you actually believed that? Happy April Fool's Day!"

You'd think that's just plain stupid.

Are Westerners brain-dead? They came up with this kind of holiday.

However, such overly humorous reality also comes at a price.

That evening, Li Mu also gave her a large bowel movement.

When Xiao Fan was exhausted, she saw a message:

"Don't eat the crew's food anymore, I cooked you some pork ribs and stir-fried clams."

"Aren't you supposed to work overtime today?"

"No more."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

So, when Fan Bingbing returned to her rented apartment, feeling hungry and exhausted, what awaited her was not a plate of braised pork ribs.

Only an empty home and a cold reality.

"Where are the spare ribs?"

"Haha, just kidding."

"..."

Xiao Fan couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and called her boyfriend to berate him.

He threatened, "You'd better not go home, or I'll kill you."

When her boyfriend returned around 9 PM with a hot plate of stir-fried beef noodles and a bowl of pigeon soup, she beamed with joy again.

I didn't care whether I would have water retention the next day, and I ate it all up.

Finally, the two discussed it and decided that they would stop celebrating April Fool's Day from now on.

Playing pranks on each other... that's just too stupid.

After eating and drinking their fill, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

April Fool's Day is over, and life goes on.

4 month 2 number.

Li Mu parted ways with his girlfriend again and drove to his workplace.

Around 8:00 or 9:00, he walked into the office and suddenly saw some books and magazines piled up at the entrance of the gatehouse.

Normally, he wouldn't be curious. Li Mu had seen this scene many times in the first half of the new month; it was just that some other magazines and periodicals were being delivered.

But last month, he subscribed to a magazine for his girlfriend, so logically, one copy of it is his own.

So he walked to the side and asked the gatekeeper:

"Sir, do you know Li Mu's name?"

"Li Mu? Wait a minute... there is."

As the old man spoke, he flipped through the magazine registration list, took out two, and handed them to Li Mu.

A fashion magazine, published on the 1st of every month.

A copy of "Video Games" was published on the 2nd.

"Sign here."

"it is good."

After signing his name, Li Mu took the two magazines and went to work to clock in.

Once back at his workstation, he put the two magazines aside.

Actually, I subscribed to both magazines for my girlfriend.

One is fashion, which she cares about, and the other is online games, which she has recently become addicted to.

Just treat it as toilet reading material.

When he finished get off work that day, he took the two magazines and drove back to Shenzhen.

He made a joke yesterday, which resulted in him being heavily in debt today.

My girlfriend wants to eat braised pork ribs and spicy clams.

A peculiar way of calling it in Shandong province.

He returned to his rented apartment, put the magazines and briefcase on the table, and then went downstairs to buy groceries.

The food for dinner wasn't very fresh, but at least it was better than her getting angry and biting herself because she couldn't eat it.

And I also bought a case of beer.

After filming began, she stayed away from anything that would make her gain weight, including alcohol... She didn't even want to look at anything, let alone keep it on hand.

But since we've already eaten ribs today, having a drink doesn't seem like a big deal.

When he returned home carrying a bag of groceries, he immediately saw his girlfriend lying dead on the living room sofa.

"Oh? Finished so early today? Aren't you hungry?"

I'm hungry...

Fan Bingbing looked exhausted.

"Today's filming was very intense, I'm going to take a break."

"Okay, oh right, I brought the magazines for you. The new magazines I've been subscribing to will be arriving gradually over the next few days."

"Um……"

Fan Bingbing simply responded, but showed no intention of looking at it.

Just kidding... She's so tired she almost threw up.

Who has the mind to read magazines?

Instead of wasting time on this, you should take a good rest.
