Chapter 116

  Li Jin suddenly sat up, his movement too sudden, and Shu Mu, who was standing beside him, took a step back. With this step, the expression of being caught off guard on that face successfully faded away, replaced by 100% arrogance.

  "How did you end up here?" Lí Jǐn blurted out.

  "This was originally my resting room." Shu Mu glanced at him lightly and walked to the chair by the other end of the house, sitting down. "I have a play this afternoon."

  Li Jin noticed that he was only wearing a shirt, and his jacket had gone who-knows-where. Looking again at the style and color of his pants, it was clear that they were a set with the one in his hand.

  Does he want to cover himself?

  How did it end up on his own head again?

  Li Jin's lips pursed slightly, and she understood.

  He probably originally wanted to cover himself with clothes, but when he heard his name being called, his hand shook and dropped them.

  Li Jin sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, "I don't know what kind of heaven he's broken through, but he's actually so kind-hearted."

  Li Jin slowly sat up from the couch in Changsha, his movements slow and still dizzy for a while. Not far away, Shu Mu was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, holding a book and reading intently, as if Li Jin didn't exist in the room at all. As Li Jin's dizziness subsided, he stared at Shu Mu, and gradually, this figure merged with the person from his dreams.

  "Sorry, I wasn't feeling well just now, so I borrowed your place to rest for a bit." He was even more unwilling to be in the same room as Sumu, "It's not good to disturb you for too long, I'll take my leave first."

  After finishing speaking, I wanted to leave but couldn't get up for half a day.

  My legs feel weak and I can't stand up.

  Shu Mu shifted his gaze from the book to him, taking in his pale face and frail physique. He then gave a disdainful glance: "Luo Fei is a useless person, it must be very tiring to take care of such an artist?"

  Li Jin's eyebrows suddenly furrowed together.

  "That's still better than having an artist who calculates everything all the time." He retorted without hesitation.

  As soon as this was said, both of them were stunned.

  After a long time, Shu Mu burst out laughing: "Then why are you still coming to act in the movie I invested in? Aren't you afraid I'll sabotage it?"

  The tone was very light and playful, not only did it not sound angry, but it seemed to have a hint of teasing.

  Li Jintai was very familiar with this tone of his, which meant that Uncle Shu Mu was in a good mood.

  Anyway, for a moment, she couldn't get up from the bed, and Li Jin had no way to make her do so. But unexpectedly, she calmed down in her heart, and upon hearing his words, she also smiled and said, "You won't be able to."

  "You actually understand me." Shu Mu sneered.

  Li Jing looked at him sideways, thinking to herself, I may not understand anything else, but this one thing is certain.

  He is selfish and self-centered, using everything as a stepping stone, but when it comes to movies and music, he won't be fooled and can't tolerate others being fooled either.

  This is also why Li Jin dared to invite Luo Fei to participate even if he knew that Shu Mu was an investor.

  He didn't make a sound, and Shu Mu also lowered his head to think about things. The room was quiet for a while before Shu Mu suddenly turned his head and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

  Li Jin was stunned.

  "Why don't you feel well?" Shu Mu asked more clearly.

  "I...I don't know..." Li Jin suddenly became tongue-tied, "Probably caught a cold."

  "Uh-huh." Shu Mu nodded, looked at him twice, got up and poured a cup of hot water with a disposable cup, and handed it to him. "If you're sick, you should see a doctor in time."

  Li Jin was completely stunned, staring blankly at the cup in his hand, and didn't know whether he should take it or not.

  "Take it." Shu Mu frowned and ordered, "It's hot!"

  "Oh." Li Jin hastily took it over and indeed it was scalding hot, so hot that he had just taken it over when he put it down on the tea table.

  Shu Mu's eyes followed his hand as it moved, and even after he withdrew it, he continued to stare at him in a daze for a long time. Li Jin felt that something was off about him, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. After staring at him for a while, he suddenly realized.

  Shu Mu is not wrong, but rather too correct.

  They were alone like this, the atmosphere was good and the tone was good, everywhere was like that year, he was still Ke Yuan, he was still his own artist and loved one at that time.

  Li Jin unconsciously took a step back.

  Shu Mu spoke up at this moment.

  "You're already with Li Yiheng."

  Li Jin was hesitant and didn't know how to respond.

  Shu Mu let out a dry laugh and leaned back, propping himself against the dresser. "Did he tell you about Ke Yuan?"

  Li Jin raised his head: "I've said it."

  "You don't mind?" Shu Mu smiled with ill intentions.

  "There's nothing to mind, they've never been together before." Li Jin retorted, "Or are you saying that I should be concerned about something?"

  Shu Mu narrowed his eyes dangerously, his eyes were very beautiful, and when he narrowed them, they brought a bit of evil. A thirty-year-old man who still showed a few hints of a mischievous teenager. He hugged his arm and said slowly: "No, it's good this way, I wish you happiness."

  "Thank you," said Lijin.

  Shu Mu waved his hand, seemingly impatient to say more, and turned to walk towards a chair on the side. Li Jin looked at his back, and for some reason, he called out: "Shu Mu!"

  "Hmm?" Shu Mu turned around, his eyes were very calm, but Li Jin could see that he was pretending.

  How good is Shu Mu's acting?

  His acting skills are so good that even when he's inwardly shocked and disturbed, his eyes remain calm and unruffled. If he wants to smile, he can even manage a faint smile.

  "What do you want to say?"

  "I don't have much to say." Shu Mu shrugged and actually smiled, "I'm just not worth it for Ke Yuan. But it doesn't matter, he's already dead, he won't know anyway."

  Li Jin opened her mouth lightly.

  He didn't understand what Shu Mu said.

  He didn't want to understand either.

  "Sorry, I'm short on time, can't chat with you anymore." He stood up with the help of the tea table, but after just a few minutes and a few words, his legs and whole body seemed to have suddenly gained strength, "Goodbye."

  As he walked to the door, Shu Mu suddenly called out to him.

  "Li Jin, I know you want to be a top agent." Shu Mu sat in the chair, flipping through the pages of his book, starting from the page he opened to, speaking without lifting his head, his tone flat and straightforward, as if reading from the text, "So you should learn from past experiences, if an artist isn't suitable, get rid of them early on, don't waste your time on them, or you'll regret it later."

  "A lesson from the past?" Lei Jin furrowed his brow.

  "Ke Yuan ah." Shu Mu raised his head and smiled, "Isn't he just because he's too stubborn, that I can toy with him to death?"
