Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 124: It's Liked,

At the dining table, Xu Shiwen carefully explained to Li Mubai.

He Ziqiu was a respected senior in the industry, and even if he could bring He Ziqiu back to participate in this program, the partner he recommended, Jiang Zhi, was also a well-liked person.

In other words, Jiang Zhi had the potential to become one of the next generation leaders in the music industry.

As someone who used to be part of the industry, Xu Shiwen naturally hoped for the best.

Li Mubai nodded to show his understanding.

If Jiang Zhi is a supporting character, they could consider writing a song for her to boost her popularity.

But if she's not, then there's no need.

After dinner, as usual, Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen sat by the window and soaked their feet.

It wasn't the first time. Xu Shiwen was completely "slaughtered" in this word game.

These past few days, Xu Shiwen truly understood what it meant for a poetic immortal to descend to earth. Although Li Mubai took longer to think, every sentence he wrote was impeccable in terms of rhyme, syntax, and rhythm, leaving her amazed every time.

The longer she spent with Li Mubai, the more she realized the "gap" between them.

For the first time, Xu Shiwen had an unworthy thought in front of a boy.

Yes, unworthy!

Li Mubai excelled in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He cooked like a five-star chef, and his singing was good too, with his own compositions.

These past few days, she knew that Li Mubai had been learning martial arts from Yun Nan. Although she didn't know the result, every time Yun Nan drove Li Mubai back, he would get out of the driver's seat and open the door for him with more enthusiasm.

And that look in Yun Nan's eyes...

She was afraid that Li Mubai was also a martial arts master~

And on top of that, Li Mubai's extraordinary appearance... she felt that if it weren't for that unexpected incident at the hotel that night, she would still be an innocent girl.

Xu Shiwen felt that not only was she unworthy, but no one in this world was worthy of Li Mubai!

She understood why Lin Jiayin and Yun Wuyue couldn't control themselves that night.

After all, any normal woman would want to leave a mark of ownership in Li Mubai's body and soul.

She wanted to possess Li Mubai even more.

But... who could be worthy?

Although she didn't want to admit it, if she had to say who was most worthy of Li Mubai, the person who could catch up with him the most...

It would be Yun Wuyue.

But even Yun Wuyue was only slightly better than her.

But... Li Mubai would eventually marry someone!

And Yun Wuyue's chances were slim now that she and Li Mubai lived and ate together.

She had to seize the opportunity!

Li Mubai propped his chin on his hand, displaying his acting skills, pretending to be deep in thought.

Allowing Xu Shiwen to stare at him, occasionally changing his angle for her.

He took his time, spending more than twenty minutes, before finally writing a line of poetry. Before he could push the notebook over, Xu Shiwen snatched it away.

The reason he spent twenty minutes thinking was because Li Mubai felt that it was not enough.

This woman was like a madwoman, dragging him to soak his feet and write poetry every day. The time was long, but the poems were only completed in a day.

Not to mention...

Li Mubai also had to consider his current image and life experiences, and write poems that didn't seem out of place.

If he ran out of ideas one day, how could he continue playing?

So, Li Mubai's procrastination time became longer and longer.

He had already decided that today would be the last day, and tomorrow, as soon as he started singing on stage, he would move out directly!

If it weren't for Xu Shiwen providing him with a motorcycle to use while soaking his feet every day, Li Mubai would have left long ago.

As for... whether or not to give Xu Shiwen a hint.

Hmm...

It depends on Xu Shiwen's performance later.

Sigh~

"The qin and se are in harmony, nothing is more peaceful." Xu Shiwen muttered softly, quickly understanding the meaning of this sentence.

A man playing the qin, a woman playing the se, living a harmonious life together...

Unconsciously, she stole a glance at Li Mubai.

Xu Shiwen felt her heart beating fast.

Was this line finally written for her?

Wasn't her situation with Li Mubai these past few days a true portrayal of this poem?

Xu Shiwen felt that the whole world had become more colorful in her mind. After muttering it to herself many times, she wrote a few words on the notebook and handed it to Li Mubai.

"Hobbies, interests."

Li Mubai looked at these four words, squinted his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

While he was "thinking," Xu Shiwen lightly tapped her finger in front of him.

Li Mubai nodded in agreement, raised his foot, and let Xu Shiwen add hot water to it.

Then, the two of them enjoyed the tranquility once again.

After about ten minutes...

Li Mubai wrote a line and pushed the notebook towards Xu Shiwen.

"To repay your love, only my body can do so."

Sure enough.

Xu Shiwen's eyes quickly widened, and she couldn't suppress her excitement. She was about to ask, but she found that Li Mubai had already finished wiping the table and stood up.

"I don't have to go to class tonight. I took the day off. Rest early, we have to wake up early tomorrow."

Xu Shiwen stared at Li Mubai's back in a daze.

And stared at this line of poetry, lost in thought.

Li Mubai returned to his room and didn't lock the door as usual, but left a crack.

Hmm...

It would take about two hours.

Night fell completely, and Li Mubai's acting skills came into play. His breathing became steady.

There was a faint light outside the door, and Li Mubai squinted his eyes and unsurprisingly saw a pair of tender feet at the door.

Then, Li Mubai felt Xu Shiwen getting closer.

It was obvious that Xu Shiwen was very nervous.

She stood still for about ten minutes.

Finally.

She gathered the courage to speak.

To prevent Xu Shiwen from being startled, Li Mubai, under his superb acting skills, pretended to wake up slowly as Xu Shiwen approached.

First, his eyes widened, just like when he was startled awake.

Then, Li Mubai's eyes calmed down, as calm as still water.

Slowly, Li Mubai closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

Xu Shiwen woke up the next day when the sun was already high in the sky.

She endured a slight discomfort and suppressed her restless heart, slowly getting up.

Li Mubai was not there.

Taking small steps, her bare feet stepping on the wooden floor, Xu Shiwen gently called out, "Mubai?"

No one answered.

Suddenly, Xu Shiwen thought of something and opened the door, rushing to the living room of her own room.

There was breakfast on the coffee table.

Xu Shiwen felt a huge relief, and then she noticed her phone and a piece of paper under it on the coffee table.

The indicator light on the phone was blinking.

There was a text message from the "I Am a Singer" program group.

It said that a car would come to pick her up at her designated location at noon. If Xu Shiwen wanted to change the pickup address, she should inform them in advance.

Xu Shiwen didn't have anywhere to go today, so there was no need to change the address.

She then picked up the piece of paper, which had Li Mubai's handwriting on it.

On it were the words, "I like you,"

Just four simple words, plus a comma.

Turning it over, there were more words. Li Mubai said he would be back at noon.

Xu Shiwen didn't think much about it and happily enjoyed her breakfast.

Although the waiting time was agonizing, and Xu Shiwen's heart was stirred again.

Li Mubai still came back before noon.

"Mubai!"

Li Mubai looked at Xu Shiwen, who was pacing back and forth in the store, and smiled subtly, indicating that he was fine.

"What about you today..."

Without giving Xu Shiwen a chance to speak, Li Mubai pointed to the door with his phone. "They're here. Is everything ready? Let's get in the car!"

The car went straight to the airport, and then Li Mubai and Xu Shiwen flew to the city where Mango TV was located.

There was a car waiting for them again, and they went to Mango TV once again!

It was almost the same as in the previous life, except for the designated program. Mango TV occupied about 70-80% of the local TV market share, undoubtedly the king of ratings.

Not to mention, it was the prime time slot from 8 to 10 pm on Saturday night.

Until they arrived at the TV station building, there were already reporters and a large number of fans gathered here. Every now and then, fans would call out their idol's name in excitement.

Li Mubai got out of the car and found that he also had fans at the scene, all girls, and they had managed to squeeze into a large space on one side of the artist's corridor.

He was touched by this and greeted them.

Instantly, screams filled the air.

Many male fans couldn't believe what they were seeing. It seemed like they didn't expect women to be so enthusiastic.

But when they saw Li Mubai's appearance.

Countless people had the same thought.

"How can there be such a handsome boy in the world!"

Even those who were previously indifferent and showed disbelief immediately changed their expressions. They were replaced by girls who seemed to be experiencing their first love, nervously clenching their hands.

Li Mubai finished greeting a few pretty female fans and inconspicuously retreated back to Xu Shiwen's side.

Xu Shiwen seemed to have not experienced such a scene for a long time, and her smile was slightly stiff.

But Xu Shiwen wasn't actually stage fright.

It was because she felt a slight difference between her and Li Mubai.

Li Mubai wasn't avoiding her, but she felt like he deliberately forgot what happened last night.

According to her straight girl thinking, shouldn't their relationship have taken a big step forward and evolved?

Xu Shiwen pondered silently and decided to confess to Li Mubai!

And it would be in front of the whole world!

After all, Li Mubai had already said that he liked her...
