The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 394 Frequent Meetings

The next morning, Gu Lanxi woke up more than half an hour later than usual.

As soon as I opened my eyes, my nose felt stuffy and my throat was a little sore.

I know I have a cold.

She quickly got dressed and got up, not even bothering to wash up, and went to open the box to find her little medicine box.

I found a box of cold capsules, opened it, took out a strip, and just broke off one capsule when I heard a knock on the door.

Thinking it was a staff member delivering breakfast, I opened the door without thinking.

Although there were bodyguards guarding the stairwell and elevator, she had been in the industry for many years and had long since developed the habit of standing behind the door and peeking out slightly when opening it.

Then I saw a person standing at the door, wearing a hat and mask, backlit, looking like a big guy.

Before I could even see clearly, I smelled a familiar scent on the other person.

Gu Lanxi quickly pulled him into the house:
"Why did you come all of a sudden? Didn't I tell you I was fine?"

We've arrived at this time; we have to leave in the middle of the night.

Gu Lanxi felt sorry for him after his long journey, and her words were full of concern.

"Why is your voice hoarse? Have you eaten? Why did you take your medicine as soon as you got up?"

As soon as Lu Nanting entered, he saw that she was holding a cold capsule in her hand, and he noticed that something was wrong with her words, so he quickly lifted her chin and examined her carefully.

He did look rather listless, and there were even a few red streaks in the whites of his eyes.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Gu Lanxi had a slight headache. She took out a mask and put it on before brushing his hand away: "It's just a minor cold, nothing serious. Don't you have a schedule today? Why did you suddenly come over? With you running around like this, all the efforts of so many people will be wasted."

Seeing that she didn't answer his questions and immediately asked about his work upon meeting him, Lu Nanting sighed helplessly:
"There was a problem, and the original plan was postponed, which is why I came. You can ask Brother Yuan if you don't believe me."

Knowing her personality, Lu Nanting's bottom line was that he couldn't abandon his work for her.

Hearing him say that, Gu Lanxi didn't immediately ask for confirmation. She broke off another cold capsule and put it in a small dish with the previous one before turning around and hugging him.

"I have an appointment to discuss some business today, so I don't have time to spend with you."

"I'm not ashamed of myself, I'll go with you."

Gu Lanxi had just gotten up, her hair was a mess, and she wasn't even wearing socks. Although there was a carpet in the room, it was still very dirty. Lu Nanting grabbed her armpits and lifted her up to hold her in his arms.

"You're not even wearing socks?"

"I've been busy lately and have caught a slight cold. I want to get better soon, so I'm planning to take some cold medicine first."

"Eat after you finish your meal; eating on an empty stomach will upset your stomach."

Lu Nanting carried her to the inner room, put her on the bed, and then went to the trunk to find clean socks. After finding them, he sat down next to her, put her feet on his lap, and took out a wet tissue to wipe them.

After cleaning her up, I noticed her toenails were a bit long, so I found nail clippers and trimmed them.

While clipping her toenails, Gu Lanxi picked up her phone, first contacting her bodyguard to pick up two breakfasts, and then subtly confirming with Zhang Mingyuan about the work postponement.

Knowing that this was indeed the case, I finally spoke:

"You came alone?"

"I brought four bodyguards because I was afraid of being surrounded."

"I'm only staying here for one day, and the round-trip airfare is already a huge expense. I'm going back the day after tomorrow."

"Money can be earned again, but the chance to meet again is gone forever. It's not easy to find a moment of leisure in a busy schedule. I'll go back with you the day after tomorrow."

"I'll see if I can make the most of these next couple of days and try to get back tomorrow night so I can have a good night's rest at home and then go back to filming the day after tomorrow. I'll be in better shape then."

"Don't force it."

"I wasn't forced; I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, he found a new toothbrush and asked, "Have you brushed your teeth?"

Lu Nanting arrived without even carrying a bag. He took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went to get a comb to brush her hair.

"I used it on the plane." Lu Nanting turned his head, wanting to kiss her cheek, but she dodged him and immediately complained, "See? I used it early and smelled so good, but it didn't help at all."

"You have a cold, be careful, don't get too close to me."

"It's not that serious."

Seeing his stubbornness, Gu Lanxi put down her toothbrush, picked up her own, squeezed out some toothpaste, and quietly brushed her teeth without arguing with him.

Lu Nanting stood behind her, smiling as he braided her hair.

“The hair clip that was stolen at the airport is definitely gone for good. I bought you a new hair accessory. This one will keep you from getting lost.”

"It's made of silk?"

Gu Lanxi filled a glass with water, rinsed her mouth, put down her toothbrush, washed her face, and tilted her head slightly, trying to get a better look.

Lu Nanting then took off the hair ornament and handed it to her so she could see it.

"Hmm, the petals are made of milky white silk, and the pendant is made of champagne-colored South Sea pearls. I felt it would suit you as soon as I saw it."

Gu Lanxi poured out some skincare water, patting her face while complaining, "You have no idea how much willpower I had to control myself at the airport that day to avoid beating someone up. Seriously, I've never been so humiliated in my life. They even dared to reach out and pluck the hair clip from my hair, pulling out several strands."

"Sigh, it's all my fault. I even thought about disbanding the fan club that day and just being a singer from now on. It's a good thing Yuan-ge didn't hang himself on my neck."

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh: "Just like that, those toxic fans hate me to death. If you disband the fan club, they'll want to kill me even more."

"Sigh, I feel like they don't really like me, but rather the image of me they have in their minds."

"Don't think so much."

After finishing her skincare routine, Gu Lanxi started applying makeup. Hearing a knock on the door, she assumed her bodyguard had brought her food and asked him to open it.

Then they heard voices coming from the doorway.

"Who?"

"Teacher Chen is going back to the film crew and came to say goodbye to you."

"Okay, I understand. Tell her I'm busy and to contact her via WeChat if needed."

Chen Lei came over early yesterday morning, but went to sleep after only saying a few words. She can sleep a lot, and didn't show up for a whole day and night.

Lu Nanting nodded and coldly relayed the message. Chen Lei didn't pester him; she put on sunglasses and left with her entourage.

Lu Nanting closed the door, but returned with a completely different demeanor.

"Speaking of which, did you miss me so much last night that you couldn't sleep?"

Gu Lanxi was holding her breath and concentrating on applying eyeliner. After a long while, she retorted, "No way! Don't wrong me."

"My alternate account's IP address has changed."

Gu Lanxi stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him: "Really? You could tell that?"

"I went to bed too early and woke up a little after three. I got up to drink some water and checked things out."

Many of his fans are very interesting, and Lu Nanting enjoys reading all sorts of jokes and fan-made content.

"And then you woke up your bodyguard in the middle of the night to accompany you to the airport?"

Lu Nanting felt a little guilty, afraid that she would say he didn't know how to be considerate of others, so after a long while she carefully explained, "They work in shifts, it's during working hours..."

Gu Lanxi waved her hand, indicating that she wanted to change the subject.

"I couldn't sleep well last night, and sure enough, I caught a cold, didn't I? Humph, if I hadn't come, would you have kept it from me again?"

"I swear to God, I just got up, I haven't even put on my socks yet, and I haven't had a chance to tell you before you arrived."

Lu Nanting smiled smugly, took out lipstick to apply for her, but Gu Lanxi turned her head away: "Let's talk about it after dinner."

As she walked out, Lu Nanting followed her, acting like a tagalong.

It's one thing to just follow along step by step, but her little mouth keeps chattering away:
"Being busy with work and unable to get away is one thing, but canceling the planned trip was another. That impulse was like a devil, constantly tempting me."

Gu Lanxi just smiled, turned around and took his hand.
