The sweetest in the entertainment industry

I got off the subway and checked my watch; it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.

The timing was perfect.

The two began preparing for their hike the next day.

I passed by a fruit shop, went in and bought a few tangerines and two bananas, which cost me thirteen yuan and sixty cents.

Stepping out of the store, Lu Nanting couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the first time I've realized that money is so durable!"

Lu Nanting has always been generous with his money; if you don't keep an eye on him, he'll spend it recklessly.

It's fine to spend money, as long as it's spent where it's needed, there's nothing wrong with that, but he always buys flashy but impractical things.

Gu Lanxi felt it was completely unnecessary.

The two have never argued about this so far. Firstly, Gu Lanxi doesn't want to interfere with his lifestyle, and secondly, she is not short of money now, so it's not worth it.

But now that the matter has been brought up, Gu Lanxi felt it was necessary for her to say something.

"The egg noodles we saw at the convenience store before cost about 2.5 yuan per pound. A limited edition bag that costs 2 million yuan would require at least 40 trucks with a 10-ton capacity to transport, if converted into egg noodles."

"Assuming that one pound of noodles, when cooked, can feed four people for a meal, this amount of noodles could supply 3.2 million people."

"The district we are in now has a permanent population of about one million. That means that one bag like this can feed the entire district's residents for three meals and still have some left over."

"Because the elderly and children make up more than half of the residents, and they eat even less, these people might be able to hold on for two days when a disaster occurs."

"If we get the noodles directly from the factory at wholesale prices, this timeframe might be extended to three days."

Outsiders might think she was putting on a show if she said these things, so she simply turned off their microphones beforehand.

She came from poverty and always knew how to be frugal.

Her money is always very durable.

The reason Lu Nanting discovered for the first time that money was very durable was simply because he had been spending it incorrectly before.

"So you never buy high-end luxury goods?"

Thinking of the bags at home that Gu Lanxi had never carried, Lu Nanting felt a pang of heartache.

The money was spent, but the gift wasn't the right one.

What he thought was good, Gu Lanxi didn't like.

Realizing this, he was somewhat discouraged.

Gu Lanxi lowered her head slightly, kicking a small stone as she walked:

“I know many people say I’m stingy, that I don’t even have a decent bag when I go out. It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that I don’t think it’s worth it.”

"Okay, we'll try not to buy it in the future."

"Yes, we can invest more in tangible things that don't easily depreciate in value."

The two quickly reached an agreement. While Lu Nanting was still mentally calculating the amount of egg noodles, Gu Lanxi had already turned on their microphones while she turned around.

Their private conversation, shrouded in the darkness, was known only to the two of them.

The staff behind them may have vaguely heard them talking, but no one came up to ask them what they were saying.

This team of staff is very experienced and has a very low profile while working. Otherwise, given Gu Lanxi's personality, she wouldn't have been able to naturally spread so much PDA.

Because she often forgets about the camera while walking.

The staff didn't ask, but the fans in the live stream were getting anxious!
The live stream finally resumed, but all we saw was Gu Lanxi hugging Lu Nanting's neck once, and then hugging him again a moment later. We couldn't hear what they were saying at all; we could only see their backs. It was so frustrating!

The young couple didn't even have cell phones at the moment, so they had no idea what was going on in the live stream today.

After a brief exchange on their views on consumption, the two held hands and continued walking forward.

"We can bring two sandwiches tomorrow and see if the guesthouse sells them. If not, we can go to the bakery and buy freshly baked bread in the morning."

"Okay, we'll be walking a long way tomorrow, so it's fine to eat more carbs."

"Not enough protein is also not good."

"Could we cook some meat to take with us? I wonder if the guesthouse has that option?"

"As long as you have a pot and a stove, you can cook. How can you not have the necessary conditions?"

After saying that, Gu Lanxi led Lu Nanting directly into a small alley.

The area is mostly old-style residential area. Along the way, Gu Lanxi had already passed three roast meat shops, but she didn't even glance at them.

It was because she knew there was a vegetable market here.

It was already dark, and many meat stalls had closed for the day, but some remained open so that people could buy groceries after get off work.

Gu Lanxi bought more than two jin of beef shank, and the shopkeeper only charged her seventy yuan.

If we can't sell them now, we won't be able to continue selling them tomorrow.

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

Lu Nanting, carrying meat in one hand and fruit in the other, asked in a low voice.

"You've never made braised beef before, have you? It shrinks a lot after braising. This little bit will only weigh a little over a pound. We're going hiking tomorrow!"

After saying that, he led him into a dry goods store, picked and chose, and bought a batch of braising spices.

As for light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and salt, she plans to borrow them from the guesthouse. "If I buy these, I'll be over budget for lunch tomorrow, but it's not a big problem. I won't be eating beef tomorrow night."

"We must control ourselves tomorrow, let's go eat steamed fish."

The two carried their things, chatting as they walked, looking no different from any other young couples who had just gotten off work.

But the fact that they were traveling with a film crew and filming as they went made them very conspicuous.

Many people around them recognized them, especially Gu Lanxi, a big star from the local area. But seeing that they were recording a program, they didn't disturb them and at most took a picture from a distance.

After leaving the market, Gu Lanxi walked for a while and saw several teenagers playing at the entrance of an alley, chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles as they played. She found it interesting and couldn't help but take a second look.

When they passed a convenience store, Lu Nanting said he wanted to eat bubble gum.

"I feel like I'm definitely better at blowing bubbles than you, because I have a bigger lung capacity."

Lu Nanting has been practicing dance and fitness for many years, and he is still young, so his body is in its peak condition. In addition, the physiological structures of men and women are naturally different, so his chest cavity is larger and his lung capacity is indeed greater.

But Gu Lanxi would not admit defeat.

"Blowing bubbles isn't about lung capacity; it's something that requires more skill."

After saying that, he went straight into the convenience store.

I bought ten Big Bubble Gum pieces, which cost 50 cents each.

"You choose five, and give me the remaining five."

"You choose first, otherwise blame me if you lose. I have to be prepared."

With a budget of two hundred, by nightfall, only two cents remained.

It can be said that the control was quite precise.

"I'm not the kind of person who cheats."

Then, the viewers in the live stream saw the two of them standing side by side under a street lamp, blowing bubbles for at least ten minutes and comparing their sizes.

To avoid getting chewing gum on their faces, they even took out makeup remover to remove their makeup before the competition and then wiped their faces clean with wet wipes.

They looked so serious, as if they were about to do something extraordinary.

The competition between the two was quite formal. They started by comparing pieces of bubble gum, and then gradually increased the number to five pieces. Each person had three chances at each stage, which was very fair.

To find out who won, the staff at the scene took photos, and a quick comparison made it clear who won.

As for who will win in the end, it will be best two out of three.

Lu Nanting didn't hold back at all, but Gu Lanxi was really good at blowing bubbles.

In the end, with five pieces of bubble gum in her mouth, the bubbles she blew were bigger than her head.

It exploded with a "pop," getting all over her head and face.

But she still won.

As soon as Lu Nanting finished cleaning her up, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but grab his arm and shake it back and forth:

"This victory was truly hard-won! Where's the prize for the champion?"

"No agreement was made before the match!"

"I don't care, you organized the event! You provide the prizes!"

Lu Nanting pretended to be in a difficult position, standing still and touching the ground: "At least you have money, I have nothing."

Gu Lanxi was just teasing him. Seeing that it was almost time, she was about to take him back to his residence.

I'll go back and take a shower, then braise the beef. It'll be just the right time to chat with the other two couples.

Suddenly, Lu Nanting dramatically slapped his forehead, telling her to close her eyes.

"What are you going to do? Let's make it clear first, a kiss or something like that doesn't count."

Lu Nanting chuckled, put the plastic bag in his hand on the flower bed, then took off a thin gold necklace from his neck and bent down to put it on her.

When Gu Lanxi opened her eyes, she saw that the necklace pendant was a round and exquisite seashell inlaid with small diamonds.

"How about it? A seashell symbolizes a lifetime, isn't it beautiful?"

Gu Lanxi could even feel the lingering warmth of her body on the necklace, and she was completely dazed.

Who would have thought!
This genius!

Wear a women's necklace around your own neck, and seize any opportunity during your trip to take it off and give it to her!
"How about that? Surprised? Unexpected? Hey? What are you doing! You can't be digging here!"

"Let me see just how many necklaces you've worn out!"

"It's gone! It's really gone!"

Gu Lanxi grabbed his collar, insisting on seeing.

Lu Nanting was pushed back by her, and seeing that there was a wall behind him, he couldn't help but look left and right, afraid that his fierce wife would get carried away and do a wall slam like she does at home.

Brother Lu, how can you face people in the future?

"Don't you know how much pocket money you give me every month? It's really gone!!"

That frustrated roar was absolutely hilarious!
Gu Lanxi couldn't help but burst out laughing! (End of Chapter)
