The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 278 "Walking with Love" Part 18

"Hold on, hold on, watch out for your drool! Don't spray my beef with saliva!"

Seeing that she had finally made him laugh, Gu Lanxi took a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef from the cutting board and put it in his mouth.

Is it salty?

"No exaggeration, just the facts: it's just right, especially fragrant, chewy, not tough or mushy, perfect!"

Gu Lanxi then picked up a piece.

He first examined it against the light, praising Lu Nanting's knife skills highly, and then put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and chewing with his little mouth moving.

Indeed, it tasted great, and the cooking time was just right.

After finishing the meal, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but feel regretful: "If I had known, I would have made some pancakes, the kind that have layers when you cut them open, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. We could have put the beef inside and eaten them together."

"That's easy! We'll just go to the breakfast stall tomorrow morning!"

"It's probably not easy to buy that kind of cake here."

"Let's make it again tomorrow! We made bread today, but we can't finish it all."

Gu Lanxi peered out the window and asked the staff, "Can the hotel cook for us tomorrow night?"

The staff said no.

This is a guesthouse, so the management standards are different. Besides, the production team booked the entire guesthouse.

Tomorrow we'll be staying at a large hotel. The production team has only booked one floor, but that floor doesn't have a separate kitchen, so they can't do that to avoid disturbing other guests.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but sigh, "That's such a pity~"

"If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you now~ I know how to make that kind of pancake."

"Forget it, we've prepared enough. Besides, it takes at least two hours to make the dough. Let's go to bed early! We're going hiking tomorrow, so we should conserve our energy."

Lu Nanting nodded, still not giving up: "I'll make it for you at home later."

"Remember to add green peppers."

"Is that how you make donkey meat sandwiches?"

"I can't tell the difference. I ate it in Baoding two years ago when I was promoting a movie. The meat inside was lean, and it was made differently from the roujiamo in Xi'an."

"Oh no, that's probably donkey meat. Let me think of where to buy donkey meat..."

"If I can't buy it, I'll take some time to go to Baoding."

"That's difficult."

Lu Nanting thought for a moment and said regretfully, "I don't have any plans to go there this year."

It's practically impossible to make a special trip there, and for both of them to have the time at the same time.

It's not that they can't do it, but they're both extremely busy. Whenever they have a little vacation time, they want to stay at home and not go anywhere. It's not worth flying there just for a pancake.

"You can buy online. In winter, when it's cold, you can buy things that haven't been frozen and arrive the next day, so they're quite fresh."

"We can ask Mom and Uncle later, maybe they can help."

"Don't ask them. If everyone finds out I'm greedy, Mom might bring me a donkey that very day, you believe me?"

Gu Lanxi disagreed.

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh: "Once the show airs, the whole world will know you want to eat this."

"It's not like I only want to eat this!"

Gu Lanxi said proudly, "Just from the pancakes I've eaten, I can think of so many just from the sesame seed cakes."

"so smart?"

Gu Lanxi counted them off on her fingers one by one: "Quzhou sesame seed cake, Jinyun sesame seed cake, duck oil sesame seed cake, Huangshan sesame seed cake, sesame paste sesame seed cake..."

Seeing that she actually counted more than a dozen in one breath, Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh: "Wow, this is no longer considered gluttony."

"What's that?"

"foodie."

Lu Nanting had such magic; with just a few words, he made Gu Lanxi happy. She held her chopsticks, switching her feet back and forth like a roly-poly toy.

It's true, I'm visibly happy.

Lu Nanting took a small plate, counted out five slices of meat for her, put them on it, gently pushed it in front of her, gave her an amused look, and then continued cutting the meat.

While cutting, I asked her with a smile:

"Tell me, how come you, a southerner, have a head full of flour?"

Gu Lanxi picked up another piece of meat, looked at it in the light for a few seconds, and then put it in her mouth.

After chewing and swallowing, she replied, "Maybe I was destined from birth to marry someone who loves noodles!"

Lu Nanting couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gu Lanxi immediately separated the chopsticks, holding one in each hand, and pretended to clap along for him.

Then Lu Nanting played along, laughing in time with her: "Ha~ Haha~ Ha~"

Gu Lanxi danced faster and faster, and Lu Nanting almost couldn't catch his breath!

"Wow, Teacher Lu, your lung capacity is amazing!"

"Of course! You believe I can kiss you until you faint!"

Lu Nanting took a deep breath and made a move to grab her.

Gu Lanxi finished the meat in two bites, put down her chopsticks, and ran away.

Lu Nanting wanted to chase after her, but when he looked at the knife in his hand, he let out a heavy snort!
"You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple. I'll give you a 40-meter head start!"

Gu Lanxi ran into the courtyard, and seeing that he didn't chase after her, she ran to the window, leaned against the windowsill, and peeked inside furtively.

Seeing his impotent rage, he immediately made a joke:

"What's the big deal if you miss a meme?"

Lu Nanting picked up a kitchen knife, chopped it viciously, and said decisively, "You won't be happy!" Gu Lanxi stood outside the window and laughed wildly.

"I have a bad feeling."

After she finished laughing, Lu Nanting stopped and said this with a serious expression.

"What premonition?"

"I feel like you're going to be added to the 'ghostly' content package too."

"That would definitely be interesting."

Gu Lanxi rested her chin on her hands, looking at Lu Nanting through the window: "Our fans are both amazing. The videos they edit are both hilarious and meaningful, and they even specifically choose to include the best parts of me. I'm not afraid at all~"

"It's too late, no amount of flattery will help."

"Don't expose me!"

"By the way, have you ever watched our TV series?"

When did we ever act in a TV series together?

"It was edited by fans themselves, there are several series, and the one that updates the fastest is already eighteen episodes."

Lu Nanting liked to go online whenever he had free time, but Gu Lanxi didn't, so she never went online.

"That's amazing? What's the plot?"

"Come in, I have something to say to you."

The beef was only cut in half, and I can't leave yet; my wife can't run away.

Gu Lanxi shook her head, and said in a serious but nonsensical tone, "No, I'm afraid you'll kiss me until I faint."

After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Seeing her smile, Lu Nanting sighed repeatedly: "It's over, it's over, my image is ruined, I'm going to get scolded again."

"No, my little ones all want me to be happy every day. If you make me happy, they'll thank you."

"Okay, I'll represent myself as a solo fan. You're welcome. So, do you want to hear what I have to say or not?"

"Okay, go ahead and tell me!"

"There's a script about us being childhood sweethearts. We were neighbors when we were little, and every time you were bullied, I would come to your rescue..."

"That must have been cut by Sister Dragonfly."

"how do you know?"

"If you change to slippers for baby haircutting, it will definitely be a double-strong approach. If it's little Yuanbao, I'll definitely portray myself as extremely powerful, and you'll definitely be the poor little one who's being bullied, and then it'll be my turn to save you."

"Wow, Professor Gu, you're so knowledgeable! If this segment is to be broadcast, please make sure to edit it like this."

"Can't you respect other people's creative freedom?"

"Alright, spring is when all flowers bloom, and Teacher Gu said you can cut whatever you like."

"I ate dinner too early, I'm starving. Give me another piece of meat, ah—"

Gu Lanxi hadn't seen those videos and didn't want to continue the conversation, so she just leaned against the window, mouth agape, waiting.

Lu Nanting picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It tastes better when it's hot, right?"

Gu Lanxi nodded, expressing her sincere affirmation: "If we retire, we can sell braised beef."

"Like those wandering NPCs in games?"

Gu Lanxi didn't understand what a wandering NPC was, so she tilted her head and looked at him.

"It's the kind that appears randomly in some place, and you make a profit if you buy it."

"Then we have to stay calm and make sure things don't collapse. Otherwise, all the fans will leave, and when they see us, they'll just feel bad, not like they've made a profit."

Lu Nanting glanced at her, calmly put the chopped meat into a disposable lunchbox, took a piece of kitchen paper, wiped the knife, and gave his answer:

"If you fall in love with someone else someday, I'll retire from the entertainment industry. It doesn't matter if things fall apart or not."

Gu Lanxi stood there, one hand supporting her chin and the other resting on the windowsill, without saying a word.

"Why are not you talking?"

"I'm thinking about how to say something really tough to make it sound really fierce."

"Have you thought about it?"

"No, I couldn't help but want to cry after just thinking about the beginning..."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Lu Nanting quickly took off his apron, gave a brief instruction to his bodyguard, and followed after him.

Okay, I misspoke. I'll have to coax you tonight.

Lu Nanting rushed out of the kitchen and ran forward anxiously. As soon as he turned a corner, he saw Gu Lanxi squatting on the stone bench at the corner.

Upon seeing him arrive, she immediately opened her arms: "Back."

Lu Nanting chuckled softly, turned his back to her, and squatted down slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a weight settled on my back.

"I feel like I'm carrying the whole Earth on my back."

"I only ate less than ten slices of meat! How could it be so heavy?"

"You really don't have any talent in this area."

Gu Lanxi was stunned for a moment, then lifted his hat and covered her head with it in a huff.

Romance is indeed a gift.

If you can’t learn, you can’t learn.
