Chapter 68: Participating in the Chapter for No Reason
Zhang inexplicably participated in the show
"Wait for me. What if that guy catches up with us?" Shang Luo was almost jogging behind Jiang Mubai but she could only barely keep up with him. However, her feet were hurting so she simply took off her shoes and chased after him barefoot.
Although the speed was faster, it was still a bit too much to go barefoot in this weather. Shang Luo had no time to care about Jiang Mubai. She quickly ran up, pressed the elevator button, and prayed in her heart that the speed would go faster.
"Miss, the floor is cold, please put on your shoes." The hotel waiter was the first to see Shang Luo shivering. Seeing her red and swollen feet, he specially brought her a pair of plush slippers. At that moment, her heart felt healed like never before.
Normally she was a loner, but since she met Jiang Mubai, she now had someone to take care of her. What happened today made her not know how to thank him. She didn't expect that even a small receptionist could provide such warmth.
Jiang Mubai also noticed the strange mood of Shang Luo beside him. She kept her head down and stared at her toes without saying a word, but she didn't notice that her eyes were already red at this moment.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Mubai was worried that she hadn't recovered from what had just happened, so he asked with some concern and caution in his tone, fearing that he might make her uncomfortable again.
Shang Luo didn't say anything but just shook her head. The elevator dinged and stopped at the first floor. She quickly went in and hid in the corner as if she had seen a savior.
Jiang Mubai seemed to understand what was going on, so he stood silently beside Shang Luo, hoping to continue to help her to the best of his ability when she needed it.
Normally, she didn't feel the elevator was so fast, but today it stopped before she even started riding it. Because they were in the same room, Jiang Mubai saw Shang Luo's red eyes when he entered the room.
Seeing her walking straight towards the bathroom, Jiang Mubai pulled Shang Luo from behind and gave her a big hug. She could no longer control herself after enduring all the way.
"Mubai, do you know how difficult my journey has been? That's why I can't help myself when someone is nice to me." Shang Luo didn't want Jiang Mubai to feel that she was being inexplicable, so she explained to her while crying.
"I understand, I understand. You don't have to say it. There's no one here, so just cry if you want to." Jiang Mubai understood the meaning of her words. Although she didn't pay attention to Shang Luo at the first time, it's not too late to know it now. It has not been easy for her along the way.
On the one hand, it was what he knew, and on the other hand, it was what Yaoyao told him today. If she hadn't said it, Jiang Mubai would never know that there would be someone who would do this for him.
Neither of them paid attention to the time. Shang Luo cried herself to sleep in Jiang Mubai's arms but was still sobbing. It seemed that today had really touched upon her sad past.
After putting Shang Luo on the bed, Jiang Mubai was finally able to sit down and rest for a while. The intensity of today's work was no less than the previous all-night filming on the crew. His head was aching so much that he could hardly sit still.
Just as she was about to lie down, the phone beside her rang again. Jiang Mubai was afraid of waking Shang Luo up, so he picked up the phone immediately without even checking who it was.
"Mubai, why haven't you gone to bed yet so late?" Liu Yu chose this time specifically to call. Normally, Jiang Mubai should have gone to bed, and then she would have an excuse if the call was not connected. However, unexpectedly, the call was connected just after she dialed.
"Something happened. What happened? What happened so late?" Jiang Mubai stood up and glanced at Shang Luo in the room. He covered her with a quilt, then closed the door and sat in the living room.
Glancing at the time, Jiang Mubai saw that it was almost three in the morning. He thought that he was destined not to have any rest today, so he simply made himself a cup of coffee.
"No... nothing. Did I disturb your rest? Why don't you continue to rest." Liu Yu was caught off guard. She hadn't even thought about how to start the conversation. She made this call today just for an excuse.
Jiang Mubai smelled the aroma of coffee in the air, and he seemed to be in better spirits than before.
"It's already this late. Why are you still taking a break? If you have something to say, just tell me now. I don't want to repeat myself many times." Jiang Mubai was already getting a little impatient. When did Liu Yu become so procrastinating and not decisive at all in doing things?
"I just need to take some time out tomorrow to meet a variety show director." Liu Yu blurted it out. This matter had to be known sooner or later, it was just a little earlier.
Jiang Mubai was a little dazed holding the phone, thinking that he was still not fully awake, so he drank two more sips of coffee. However, he felt that this matter was a little strange and couldn't help but become alert.
"Why don't I remember what variety show I agreed to participate in? Did you remember it wrong?" Jiang Mubai confirmed again and confirmed that there was indeed no such thing, but now it was her turn to feel puzzled.
Liu Yu's palms were sweating from nervousness. The weather wasn't hot but she was sweating all over under the quilt. It wasn't easy to fool people.
"It's because the director took a fancy to you that he wanted to meet you. There's nothing much to say. We can still continue to work together in the future." Liu Yu felt extremely guilty but was still desperately trying to come up with an excuse to cover up the lie.
Jiang Mubai was becoming more and more puzzled. She had told him before that if there were any resources, he could just send them to her for review. If she thought they were suitable, she would reply. If they were not suitable, she would not force him.
But from the current situation, it seems that Liu Yu did not listen to what he said. Jiang Mubai guessed that Liu Yu must have agreed to it without his permission. In that case, she would definitely not go.
"Aren't you the best at handling this kind of thing? Do you want me to teach you? How should I refuse if I don't want to go? Do you want me to go in person?" Jiang Mubai's series of questions left Liu Yu speechless.
"You have to solve the problems you have caused yourself." After saying that, she hung up the phone. Her chest was still heaving violently with anger. When did Liu Yu ever make decisions for her? She didn't seem to have such ability.
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Liu Yu knew that there was no hope, but she had already agreed to the variety show and there was no way to go back on her word now.
She picked up the phone again and dialed another number, which was also picked up quickly. Liu Yu wondered if the man hadn't slept tonight just waiting for her call.
"How is it? Let's make sure when Teacher Jiang is available so we can make arrangements." The person on the other end of the phone was already expecting.
"It's like this. Mu Bai's schedule is really tight lately. He has to shoot every day and he may not be able to miss it. Director, how about this, can we make an appointment next time?" Liu Yu felt even more uneasy after she said this. The other party had urged her several times, and she was really forced into no choice but to make today's call.
Seeing that the deadline was getting closer, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
