Li Mu opened his eyes. It was just past eight o'clock in the evening. He was in a hurry this time, and the system only gave him a thirty-second countdown, which was rare. He was not prepared at all, but he finally completed the task well.
He took out his mobile phone and started searching again. This time he had enough time, and he browsed for a long time before he saw a message on a gossip website.
The novel will be officially shot at the end of this year and is expected to be released to the audience at the end of 2021 or early 2022.
Sure enough, it is a web drama that has not yet started airing.
Li Mu could not find the genuine source of this book on the Internet, but some shopping websites showed that the physical version of this book had just been released.
After thinking about it, I placed an order and bought a copy. I will read it when I have time and see how the world I experience is different from the world described in the novel.
After finishing all this, Li Mu had time to check the system reviews.
System: [Congratulations on completing the mission and returning to the main world.]
[Task performance: excellent]
[The task rewards are being settled.]
[System: From the following options, choose two as mission rewards. 】
[1. Li Mu’s acting skills]
[2, system space expanded three times]
[3, system space expanded three times] (Combined with reward two, the system space is expanded ten times.)
[4. Physical fitness reward] (Exercise effect in the film and television world, part of which is projected into the real world...)
[5. Monetary rewards] (A very small amount of wealth in the film and television world is converted into real-world currency.)
Looking at the five rewards, there is not much room for choice. One, four, and five are all useless.
I directly chose the second and third rewards.
Each reward system space is expanded three times, two merge options are expanded, and the system time is expanded ten times.
The original system space was 3 cubic meters. After expanding ten times, it became 3 cubic meters, which is not too small.
After receiving the system reward, I was a little bored. I turned on my phone and watched videos for a while, when the phone rang.
Li Mu looked at the call notification and saw that it was still a call from home.
"Mom, why are you calling?" Li Mu usually calls home.
Mother Li said: "Why can't I call? You graduated more than a year ago. You are twenty-three this year and will be twenty-four after the new year. Where is your girlfriend!"
Li Mu stroked his forehead: "Mom, don't worry! I've only graduated a little over a year ago, how can it be so fast?"
Li's mother said: "Hurry up! Look at our village, your elementary school classmates, their children are all good at it."
Li Mu said: "Mom, it's different. I just graduated! Besides, who in the city gets married so early!"
Mother Li refused to listen: "What's happening in the city is the same in both urban and rural areas."
"Didn't you hear what people say? There are more boys than girls now. In the future, there will be 30 million bachelors in China who will not be able to find a wife. The competition will be fierce."
"If you don't take advantage of the time when you have just graduated to resolve life-long matters, if you delay it for a few years, it will be delayed."
Li Mu said: "Mom, no, don't you worry about your son? Is he the one who needs a girlfriend?"
Mother Li asked: "Isn't there any shortage? Where is my girlfriend? Bring her back in two days and let me take a look."
Li Mu was speechless: "We haven't talked about it yet, but it's easy to talk about it. I focus on my career now, so why don't I tell you? I'm starting a company with my classmates! I don't have time to fall in love."
"When you succeed in starting a business, you will have freedom of wealth, and you can find a better one!"
Mother Li said: "After talking for a long time, I still don't have a girlfriend."
"Don't be too ambitious. It's not that easy to start a company. What will you do if you lose money? While your conditions are good and your career is good, let's talk about it quickly."
Li Mu was helpless. His mother had definitely asked him to find a girlfriend today, and it seemed that she would not give up until she agreed.
"Mom, I also want to find a girlfriend. Isn't it too busy? I'm currently in the stage of starting a business and I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to have a girlfriend."
Mother Li suddenly laughed twice: "It doesn't matter if you don't have time to fall in love, you can still go on a blind date."
Li Mu: “Blind date!”
Mother Li: "Yes! Blind date."
"I forgot to tell you, today I went to your grandma's house to visit relatives and met my best friend from middle school. We hadn't seen each other for a few years, and after chatting for a while, I found out that her daughter had just graduated from college this year and was working in Shangdu City.
"
Li Mu: "Mom, what do you mean?"
Mother Li said: "My best friend and I, according to seniority, you should call me aunt. I talked with your aunt and found out that her daughter Xiaoya works and lives alone in Shangdu without a boyfriend. It's not easy."
"What I mean is, you two have a chat, and if it's appropriate, develop it."
"We know her well. I've met Xiaoya's daughter several times. She's quite quiet and good-looking. I can't do anything wrong to you."
Li Mu patted his forehead: "Mom, what era are we in now? How can we young people still have such blind dates?"
Mother Li said: "What's wrong with the blind date? I think it's much more reliable than your falling in love."
"Look at the young people today. How many times have they been in love? How many of them can get married?"
"If you look at blind dates, as long as two people are satisfied and start dating, things will be a done deal and most people will get married."
"If you want to get married, blind date is more reliable than falling in love."
Li Mu didn't know how to retort, so he asked: "Mom, young people nowadays are disgusted with blind dates. Where is Xiaoya! Will she agree to a blind date?"
Mother Li said: "Don't worry about it. Your aunt and I will make arrangements naturally. In this way, I will give you Xiaoya's mobile phone number, and you can take the initiative to contact her."
"Your aunt will communicate with Xiaoya. You can take some time in the next two days to have a meal together and have a good chat. Maybe it will work out."
"Son, it's rare for mom to find a good one for you, so you must seize it."
"Yeah! Got it." After hanging up the phone, Li Mu felt a little dumbfounded.
He has decided not to talk about a girlfriend, and his situation is not suitable for having a girlfriend who is too close. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a thing as being forced to get married, which made him a little helpless.
However, my mother's heart is also good, and she is thinking about him. If Li Mu had followed the original trajectory of his life and not encountered such a fantastic thing, maybe he would be full of expectations for this blind date.
Take a look at Jiang Xiaoya who makes her mother satisfied.
Unfortunately, with more experience, his horizons are now higher.
The goddess in his eyes a year ago is just a pretty female classmate now.
Thinking of this, Li Mu shook his head slightly and shook those complicated thoughts out of his mind.
In any case, since you have agreed, you must make a phone call whether it is to be polite or to give an explanation to your mother. If the other party agrees to meet, there is no need to refuse, just meet for a meal.
No matter what, there is an explanation and both sides can handle it.
