Chapter 31: The Demon City and the Late-Night Canteen

Don't get in if you don't like it!!

======================================================

The sun is scorching, the heat is steaming, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the hottest time of the day at the end of summer.

Ning Yuan, who was originally watching the scenery by the window, because he didn't like the sun, had already laid down on his bed at some point, like a machine that had been cut off from power, motionless, and didn't know whether he was awake or asleep.

Ye Xiaoxia frowned, irritably took out a lighter and a cigarette, lit it with his hand, took a deep puff with the butt between his index finger and middle finger, and turned into two columns of smoke and sprayed out from his nostrils.

Seeing the gray smoke curling up, and then filling the air, Li Mu, who had always opposed Ye Xiaoxia's smoking, did not react, allowing the smoke to wrap and swallow him, like a frozen sculpture.

"Wood, otherwise forget it, isn't it easy to find an actor?"

Ye Xiaoxia suddenly spoke, sitting on the desk, in the dark space of the backlight, the red dots between his fingers lit up and off with the heavy breathing of the young man.

With inexplicable thoughts, Li Mu squinted his eyes and looked at the sunlight outside the window, his eyes were lonely and distant, and he shook his head silently.

Although it was ten o'clock in the morning, the sun that had already risen three poles seemed to be not weak at noon, shining on the asphalt road on the campus, which was very dazzling.

Looking at the young man who no longer spoke, Ye Xiaoxia didn't know what to say, in fact, he had already guessed the reason why Li Mu suddenly didn't speak, and the question just now was just to confirm his guess.

His first love, the girl who had parted ways with him, is now in the magic capital, and coincidentally, that girl is also a sophomore in the theater!

In fact, Li Mu has always had a question in his heart: Obviously, he has been avoiding the entertainment industry, why is he using the things in the circle to make profits this time? So contradictory and so entangled, maybe it is really like what Ning Yuan said, he is cocooning himself.

Is it crazy?...... No, everything he does is bound to reason.

So, why is he obsessed with using the originally conflicting field to help his friend realize his ideals?

The question that suddenly came to his mind made Li Mu smile self-deprecatingly, and he couldn't help but think of all the people he had come into contact with after the heavy work, strange and close, inside and outside the circle, all kinds of characters flashed back and forth in front of his eyes like a horse, and finally froze in the eyes that were entangled in pain when they broke up.

yes, I remember.

The most fundamental reason for being so persistent is still her in the circle......

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and those clear eyes that had no temperature at all swept over the young man in front of him, making Ye Xiaoxia feel a panic in his heart. Eventually, he slowly closed his slightly heavy eyelids, as if he was trying to suppress all his negative emotions, and fell into a long silence.

Seeing that he never said a word, Ye Xiaoxia extinguished the cigarette butt, turned around and carefully flipped through the planning book, his fingers tapping on the table along the rhythm, trying to sort out the details needed for negotiations. He knew the crux of the matter, so he didn't bother Li Mu, and for a while the bedroom was silent, and occasionally there was one or two mouse clicks, which was particularly abrupt and harsh.

"Xiaoxia, what's your friend's name?"

The memories came to an abrupt end, hiding the thoughts that were free, Li Mu stood up with his arms supporting himself, his eyes fell on the busy young man in front of the computer, and the helplessness in his clear eyes was finally extinguished, replaced by cynical laziness.

"Big Orange ......"

Ye Xiaoxia subconsciously twisted his head when he heard this, and after being stunned for two seconds, he seemed to suddenly understand something, his eyes widened and looked at Li Mu's plain face, and his stunned emotions were revealed in his obviously rising tone: "I'll go! Are you planning to kill the rhythm of the Demon Capital?" There's no need, he flew over with an absolutely mellow phone call, don't be impulsive, wood!"

Yes, you were the one who said that you wanted to sink the girl in the Huangpu River, and now you are the one who persuaded the party to calm down......

However, even though the practices are very different, he is essentially for Li Mu's good, and he doesn't want him to be wronged, nor does he want him to do stupid things impulsively.

All kinds of words in the past were still in his ears, and all the emotions in Li Mu's heart were silent in the corners of his slightly raised mouth, and his slightly hoarse voice whispered: "Xiaoxia, there are some things that you don't know. ”

"Wood ......"

After all, Ye Xiaoxia is too young, even though he knows the general idea of the whole thing, he still can't understand Li Mu's thoughts, but he is good at observing words and feelings, he also understands that no one can force Li Mu to say what he doesn't want to say, and his desire for knowledge can't be too strong at this time, otherwise the other party will definitely turn his face mercilessly.

"Give me the phone number. Li Mu smiled, took out his color screen brick and put it on the computer desk, "I decided to go to the magic capital and try to bring your friend into the gang." ”

Ye Xiaoxia stared at him with a frown, seeing that he always looked as usual, he could only sigh secretly, and reluctantly took his mobile phone: "Okay...... You go to the magic capital to find him directly, he dares to treat you well, I'll cut him!"

"No, it's just a back-and-forth effort. ”

Li Mu looked at the phone number belonging to the Demon Capital on the mobile phone screen, and the warm current that once filled his chest seemed to lower the temperature, and occasionally there was some indescribable pain. Not to mention Ye Xiaoxia, even Liu Ye was present, and he would only feel an inexplicable alienation and strangeness for the cold gaze in his eyes.

"What should be faced, sooner or later will have to be faced, it's time to talk. ”

………

Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Mu's trip to the magic capital was still suppressed, because he first wanted to win the starring role in "Late Night Canteen".

"Late Night Canteen" is a healing masterpiece based on the manga. In an izakaya of more than ten square meters, all kinds of people on the edge of the city take turns to stage their own stories, the mysterious owner is a qualified listener, always watching the joys and sorrows of these people without saying a word;

The story and the wine are always the best match, it is suitable and can only be tasted alone in the middle of the night after being away from the hustle and bustle, because the story of this drama is set in an island country, which can be said to show the lonely local culture of the Dongying people to the fullest.

However, in addition to retaining the story structure and the boss's personality, all kinds of details must be changed, after all, what he wants to drum up now is the flower planter's own late-night canteen.

Therefore, the actor he is looking for this time must be a Chinese paper with high audience recognition, perennial online acting skills, and appearance conditions that can still hold the scene; Looking at his social circle, I am afraid that the only one who can meet the above conditions is President Liu Da, who has been in love with him for a lifetime.

Although it is said that with his friendship with Liu Ye who almost hit his head on the ground, it is basically impossible for the president to refuse his request. However, this time it involves filming, which is within Liu Ye's professional scope, so while considering whether the other party's schedule is suitable, the most important thing is whether the script can satisfy him.

After all, Liu Ye still has the halo of the Golden Horse actor on his head, and he will take the general shoddy scenes, and it will be purely a loss of shares, not to mention Liu Ye at that time, even Li Mu will not agree.

So in a serious and responsible manner, Li Mu took the script outline and script, and at the same time had a standard contract made by virtue of the memory of his previous life, and set up a table in Donglaishun, planning to invite Liu Ye to rub it, and it can be regarded as returning the gift of the previous treat.

I don't know who is used to it, as long as they have a meal recently, they are all in Donglaishun, a mutton restaurant, and the word clean is not touched at all, is that the boundary of serious talk?

This time it was Li Mu who sat in the village himself, so he didn't bother to complain, seeing that the meat and vegetarian dishes on the table were full, and the soup pot was churning, he waited for the president to come.
