The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 406 Who's going to laugh themselves to death in the middle of the night?

The young couple stole a moment from their busy schedules to secretly put on a show at home.

One was inside the door, carefully cutting gold foil with scissors, while the other was outside, strumming a guitar at will, singing her one love song after another.

He doesn't care about copyright infringement when he holds his own private concerts. Lu Nanting doesn't care whose song it is, as long as he knows it, he will sing it for her.

Occasionally, when I forget the lyrics, I'll chuckle and look up the sheet music on my phone.

Worried that the phone screen would be inconvenient, Gu Lanxi went back into the house and brought out a music stand that Lu Nanting had previously placed there. She put the tablet on the stand and handed it out.

Now that they were fully equipped, the superstar's performance became increasingly stable, and the only remaining audience member was finally satisfied.

The elevator lobby is quite large. With Gu Lanxi moving away, the lush green plants that used to be there have also moved to their new home, and now it feels rather empty.

The song drifted on and on, becoming even more tender and lingering under the cover of night.

The 19th floor belongs to Lu Nanting. The family next door on the 17th floor went on vacation to New Zealand and hasn't returned yet, but he doesn't care if they disturb the neighbors.

In addition, he was in a good mood and had been resting well recently, so Lu Nanting had a rare opportunity to sing freely and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

They were having a blast, and their upstairs neighbors were coming home. As the elevator slowly ascended, they heard the singing and were a little confused about what was going on.

Later, realizing who lived on those two floors, he pressed the downstairs button as soon as the elevator arrived, without waiting for the doors to open.

Unable to go to other floors, I pressed the button for the first floor and then came back up.

Two big stars live in the building, so the neighbors can't help but learn about them. Even those who aren't fans of Lu Nanting have heard him sing.

His singing voice is very distinctive, with a wide vocal range, gorgeous high notes and magnetic low notes. If you want to go to his concert, you have to fight so hard to get tickets, and you have to pull strings.

He's singing at home now, so I'll definitely go listen.

So, at first there was only one person in the elevator, then gradually two, then three...

These people are used to taking the elevator when they go out, and they never think of climbing the fire escape stairs. They just sit there and take the elevator up and down.

Later, when the elevator was full, to avoid delays, the staff on the 15th and 20th floors were responsible for pressing the floor buttons.

The young couple didn't even notice the elevator; they were both busy with their own things.

Gu Lanxi cut the board, weighed it on the electronic scale three times, and finally clapped her hands and cheered!

"52.00 grams! Not a bit more, not a bit less! Dude, I'm a genius! My hands are amazing at cutting!"

The neighbors in the elevator were listening intently, but as soon as they heard "52.00 grams," the elevator went down.

Lu Nanting put down his guitar and reached out towards the door.

"Let me see. Is it cut crooked?"

"How could it possibly be crooked? Calling me the Right Hand of God wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

As soon as his fair and slender hand appeared, Gu Lanxi smiled and shook hands with him before handing over the cut gold plate.

Lu Nanting immediately took it and looked at it; indeed, the trimming was very precise.

He immediately showered her with compliments.

After praising it, she handed it back. Gu Lanxi took it, placed the board on the template, and started tapping it.

Lu Nanting cooperated with her by strumming the guitar.

"It sounds like we're playing a duet!"

After muttering this to himself, he felt something was off and immediately suggested:
“I feel that a sheepskin drum is more suitable. There are extra sheepskin drums upstairs that we didn’t move before. Wait for me to go upstairs and bring them down.”

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well do whatever is interesting.

Besides, it's not a big deal, and Gu Lanxi would never let him have any trouble.

He waved his hand hastily: "Go on, go on!"

After saying that, Lu Nanting indeed went upstairs.

The elevator, which is usually very fast, took a long time to arrive today for some reason.

When the door opened, there were seven people inside.

Lu Nanting was stunned.

To be honest, he had lived here for quite a while before, and because his daily routine was different from most people's, he could count the number of neighbors he had met in the elevator on one hand.

He's never been good at talking to strangers, so he can't just stop taking the elevator just because it's crowded.

So he remained silent and went inside.

Lu Nanting was wearing loungewear, and her jet-black hair looked particularly fluffy.

Although he was dressed very casually, completely different from the unruly king of the stage, his cold and indifferent gaze swept over everyone's faces before he lowered his head to press the floor button.

It seemed like he had no intention of greeting anyone at all.

Lu Nanting was a person with a particularly strong aura. Seeing him like this, and feeling guilty, the crowd didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Fortunately, they arrived at the nineteenth floor quickly. The elevator doors opened, and Lu Nanting strode out.

After Lu Nanting moved in, he never interacted with his neighbors. If their secret marriage hadn't been exposed, the neighbors probably wouldn't have known that he lived on the nineteenth floor.

As the elevator doors opened, someone deliberately pressed the open button and craned their neck to look outside.

Lu Nanting's floor is exactly as it was originally decorated.

The elevator lobby was empty, unlike other homes that have shoe cabinets and plants; it only had a standard fire extinguisher.

Seeing how gossipy they were, Lu Nanting wanted to tell them not to spread his news, but then he thought that he hadn't said a word in the elevator just now, and it would be a bit presumptuous to make such a request now, so he simply shut up, opened the door, and went inside.

By the time he retrieved the sheepskin drum, the elevator had already gone up.

They were all respectable people, and everyone cared about their reputation, so they didn't dare to go to the 18th floor to eavesdrop anymore. Instead, they all went to their neighbor's house on the 20th floor.

After waiting for a while, I didn't see the elevator move.

Someone standing close to the fire door heard footsteps.

He was so annoyed that he slapped his forehead!
"Why don't we sit down on the fire escape stairs and listen?"

The elevator shaft is farther from the main entrance than the fire escape staircase.

Having learned their lesson, everyone took action.

People took cushions, some took coats, thinking it was cold in the hallway; some even went home specifically to bring out their mink coats to wear.

Finally, I silenced my phone, took off my shoes, came out from the seventeenth floor, and quietly walked upstairs.

Thanks to the trending topics, everyone knows that the couple's wedding is just around the corner.

Only the families in the building who were related to the two families received the invitations; as ordinary neighbors, they naturally did not know their itinerary.

However, with the wedding approaching, he secretly moved back here, presumably because the bridal chamber needed to be decorated.

Lu Nanting only sang in the elevator and didn't go inside, while Gu Lanxi was inside but didn't come out, mostly because of the old custom of not seeing each other before marriage.

Since Gu Lanxi was from Guangdong, as was Mrs. Lu, everyone assumed there were some customs or traditions there, but they didn't investigate further.

The most pressing question now is whether Lu Nanting will continue singing.

Get a free exclusive concert by a top celebrity, and it's an impromptu performance with no setlist.

I've never dreamed of anything this big.

At the same time, Lu Nanting returned to his old position, signaling to Gu Lanxi that they could begin.

To prevent his shoes from getting cold, Gu Lanxi installed underfloor heating in the elevator. He sat on a thick cushion, and Aunt Wang even found him a bay window chair, so he wasn't cold sitting there.

Gu Lanxi wasn't someone who liked to waste time on handicrafts; she usually did these things to please Lu Nanting.

She was banging away enthusiastically, and Lu Nanting was outside the door banging his drum in response.

He sang while playing the clapper, and when he got into it, he even made up lyrics on the spot, which made Gu Lanxi giggle.

The happier Gu Lanxi laughed, the happier Lu Nanting sang.

When his hands got tired, and he figured he must be exhausted from singing, he poured himself a cup of tea and pushed it off the kang table.

Lu Nanting picked up the cup, drank it, poured another cup, and pushed it back to her.

Aunt Xiao had clearly prepared two cups, but the other one remained untouched, tacitly left upside down on the tray.

It's as if drinking water from the same cup allows us to kiss from a distance.

They had probably never done anything like this before, and both found it very interesting.

Lu Nanting would ask her how things were going from time to time, and Gu Lanxi would occasionally request a song for him to sing to her.

Meanwhile, in the fire escape, because there wasn't enough space, many people who heard the news rushed over. Luckily, they didn't bombard the people on the scene with phone calls. In desperation, they had to start a live stream and put their phones under the door crack.

Although I couldn't see anyone, I could at least hear their voices.

The live stream name was a jumble of characters, and the link was only shared with the neighbors.

The news spread like wildfire, and in less than half an hour, the whole neighborhood was buzzing! Almost everyone who had time clicked in to listen.

They had a good idea: they wouldn't mention their names or labels, and wouldn't speak in the live stream. They would just listen quietly. Even if some netizens accidentally stumbled upon this live stream with only sound and no picture, they would at most think it was some Lu Nanting fan imitating him singing.

Unexpectedly, because Gu Lanxi has been out of the public eye for a long time and the couple kept their wedding a closely guarded secret, fans are eagerly waiting, and even if it's just an imitation, they will stay and listen.

Then, the more I listened, the more something seemed off—if he were so easy to imitate, he wouldn't have become so popular.

True die-hard fans can recognize their idol just by his figure, even if he's all bundled up and standing there, let alone by hearing him sing!
So, just as everyone at the scene was immersed in the beautiful singing and lost track of time, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room jumped up from a few hundred.

It took several thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, until it reached more than three million before things stabilized.

My main characters are all serious people, not funny, but they are really hilarious.

Bingjie was like that back then, and Xijie was pretty much the same.

Hahaha~
My neighbors are a bit unethical. If you have a big celebrity neighbor who's just as idiotic, don't follow their example. Just send me to eavesdrop. I'm low-class and not afraid of being scolded.
