Chapter 24: King of Comedy
"Want to grab something to eat together?" Li Mo specially ordered two servings of steamed buns.
He looked up at the girl who was about to turn and leave.
"No...it's you!"
Bai Lu turned around, intending to refuse outright, but then realized that the speaker was none other than Li Mo.
If Li Mo hadn't spoken up, the dazed little cook wouldn't have noticed.
It's unclear whether the heat added a filter to Li Mo's appearance, or whether Bai Lu's perception of Li Mo was inherently filtered.
Perhaps... it's also related to the fact that red is considered auspicious for health!
In short, Bai Lu feels that Li Mo is even more handsome now than before.
She had watched the last episode of "The Voice of China" and was naturally aware of Li Mo's recent career trajectory.
It was incredibly popular; I've listened to "Nanshan Nan" countless times!
She really didn't expect Li Mo to come over, because she hadn't dared to call him before.
I spent two hours crafting a 500-word congratulatory message and sent it to Li Mo, but Li Mo didn't reply at all.
This led her to believe that she was just imagining things, and that Li Mo never actually considered her a friend.
After that, I never dared to ask for anything more.
But to my surprise, instead of replying to the message, they came over in person.
This moment shattered all of Bai Lu's previous wild thoughts.
So he actually values me quite a bit!
whee…
However, Li Mo didn't actually see that text message; there were just too many people sending messages that day.
You should know that once you become famous, everyone around you will become friendly with you.
Some were colleagues I knew before, some were former classmates, and some even came to borrow money…
How is Li Mo supposed to reply to this message?!
"It's not that I don't want to eat with you, it's just that right now..."
The egret blinked and pointed around sheepishly.
Because it was morning, there were many people coming to have breakfast.
So Bailu indicated that she wasn't finished with her work and didn't have time to have dinner with him.
"You go ahead and do your work, no rush. I'll wait for you here."
"Okay!"
The egret answered with great force, its eyes crinkling when it smiled.
I wasn't sleepy this time, and I had more energy to work.
Around 10 o'clock, the breakfast shop gradually became less crowded, which meant that Bailu's work for the day was over.
Li Mo took out his phone again and called Brother Qian, taking it upon himself to postpone Bai Lu's schedule for the day.
He wants the egret to spend the whole day with him!
Brother Qian readily agreed, noting that aside from their past relationship, he might need Li Mo's protection in the future.
Li Mo is a big shot, what's this little thing to him?
Moreover, he had long realized that this girl wouldn't stay with him for long and would eventually be taken away by Li Mo.
Bai Lu, having changed out of her work clothes and into her everyday attire, wasn't satisfied and insisted on dragging Li Mo home.
The main problem is that she hasn't even washed her hair yet; it's too messy. She doesn't want to spend the whole day with Li Mo smelling like a steamed bun.
I have to dress up nicely, no matter what!
"Um... why don't you sit here for a bit? I'll be quick, it'll only take five minutes!"
Her rented room didn't have a private bathroom, so after getting Li Mo's permission, Bai Lu took her toiletries and went out to take a shower.
Five minutes... ten minutes... half an hour...
"Is there an exchange rate for a woman's five minutes, just like the US dollar?"
Li Mo muttered a complaint, feeling utterly bored, and could only wander around the room.
The room wasn't big, but Li Mo wasn't in a position to say that; he hadn't moved yet, and his own place wasn't even as big as Bai Lu's.
After all, this place is a basement.
Moreover, Li Mo's attention wasn't on the house; it was when he saw the plaster on the bedside table.
Li Mo then revealed an expression that said, "I knew it!"
Bai Lu's waist is the same age as her father's!
Later, Bai Lu became rich and famous, but she never had a good back. Therefore, she made a wish that heaven would grant her a healthy back!
[Help Bailu heal her back pain; she'll be better off, and so will you! — Order placed by: Bailu, 2026]
This is the reason why Li Mo suddenly came!
Without this, Li Mo wouldn't have thought of Bai Lu for a while, but with this, things are different.
About an hour and a half later, Bailu finally finished taking a bath, putting on makeup, and getting dressed.
The delicate deer was happy this time, feeling that she wouldn't lose face being led out by Li Mo this time.
Where should we go?
These should all be very romantic places, and you can also enjoy some local delicacies...
"Let's go! Where should we go for a stroll?"
Bai Lu, who almost blurted out her inner thoughts, quickly covered her mouth and curiously observed Li Mo's reaction.
He probably didn't notice.
"Don't worry, I have a plan!"
Li Mo revealed an expression that suggested he was very reliable.
"...X-ray, MRI, blood test, bone density...why is there also a urinary tract ultrasound?!"
Bai Lu, who had spent two hours getting ready, originally thought Li Mo had prepared a special date for her.
But unexpectedly, Li Mo led her to the place where she least needed to dress up: the hospital!
Li Mo: Just tell me if it's special or not!
"Actually, all you need is an X-ray! I'm just telling you about these tests!" the doctor kindly reminded you.
The boy wearing a mask came in and immediately asked what kind of tests were needed for a back exam. After I gave him a long list, the boy asked me to order everything that could be done right now.
"We'll do it all, we'll do it all, we'll even be doctors!" Li Mo insisted on this decision.
Li Mo was worried that if any oversights were made, it might affect the settlement of the entrusted matters.
For example, urinary tract issues...
Bai Lu reluctantly went through with it in the end, and once these checks were completed, the day was basically over.
A date? Romantic?
"Young lady, your boyfriend really cares about you!" This doctor would be a great salesperson in the future.
Oh dear, what are you saying!
Bai Lu herself didn't dare to say these words; she only thought about them at night.
After a series of examinations, it was finally concluded that the egret's waist and urinary system were not related.
Just a heads-up: Kidney stones and hydronephrosis can also cause lower back pain.
She suffers from lumbar muscle strain and rheumatism, mainly caused by her work.
After developing a treatment plan, the rest is up to Bailu herself.
After doing all this, Li Mo was leaving that night, and Bai Lu offered to see him off.
The evening breeze was cool, and the egret's hair was slightly lifted by the wind. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. The girl's feelings were straightforward and pure.
They don't know how to conceal their feelings, and they don't understand that intense emotions can burn the other person.
But Li Mo understood, so he had to prepare a countermeasure. He couldn't accept her until he had a good plan.
After all, he still has some women around him that he hasn't finished dealing with yet.
However... the above was just Li Mo's previous plan, and plans are meant to be broken!
"Hey! Want to come with me?"
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. She was about to agree, but after thinking it over, she shook her head and refused.
"What? I still have work to do!"
"Is it okay if I don't work?!"
"If I don't work, how will you support me?!"
"I'll take care of you!"
