The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 491 Interesting

No matter what circles you're in, if you want to succeed, you need to understand the principle of "knowing when to quit while you're ahead."

He excels in everything and never falls behind others. To his face, people will definitely praise him for his ambition and say he is an exceptionally good young man. But behind his back, they might say the most cutting things.

For example, the phrase "ambitions higher than the sky, but fate thinner than paper" can infuriate someone with just a few words.

Gu Lanxi is a little superstitious. Even if someone curses her behind her back, she will feel unlucky. Therefore, she is always very careful about what she does.

Even if it's an act, they'll try their best to make it so that no one can find fault with them.

In May, "Lurking" was a huge success, and with Lu Nanting holding a concert on the special day of the 20th, and the studio being particularly good at creating buzz, Gu Lanxi was almost always on the trending topics list.

This month, from her performance in movies to her daily life, and even her partner...

Everything about her, even her new hairstyle, attracts countless people's attention.

So in June, fearing that things might go too far, and also to allow studio staff to take turns on vacation, Gu Lanxi kept a low profile until the end of the month, only going to the film set to shoot every day and not going anywhere else.

On June 22nd, Lu Nanting's tour kicked off with four consecutive stops. He looked noticeably thinner and secretly went home, hiding in his upstairs bedroom where he slept for a full day and night before waking up.

When Gu Lanxi returned from work after 10 PM and opened the door to see him, she thought she was dreaming!
"Weren't you in Chongqing? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I'd come pick you up!"

The two of them have spent little time together this month, each busy with their own things. When they're busy, it's fine, but when they're free, they naturally miss each other.

Filming for "Above the Stars" began on March 16, and it has been 99 days since then.

Apart from taking a week off to promote "Lurking" and having to rest for a few days due to a car accident, Gu Lanxi has been spending every day on set. Now her role in the show is not that big anymore.

If all goes well, filming will wrap up at the end of July, and her role will likely finish filming by mid-July at the latest.

It's been less than a month.

Both of them reduced some of their work in the second half of the year, which will allow them to have more time to spend together this year.

Whenever she felt tired and missed Lu Nanting terribly, Gu Lanxi would convince herself with this thought.

But when Lu Nanting appeared in front of her without warning, she still couldn't remain calm.

It pounced over with a howl, grabbed Lu Nanting's neck, and jumped onto him.

Lu Nanting skillfully supported her, his nose brushing against her shoulder, and took a deep breath.

"Ah, home is the best, I miss you so much~"

Lu Nanting was about to carry her back to the bedroom, but Gu Lanxi got off the ground, pulled him out the gate, and into the courtyard.

It was already very hot, and even though it was past 10 p.m., the bluestone slabs in the garden were still scorching hot.

But at this moment, the most passionate feeling was undoubtedly that of Lu Nanting.

Actually, he came back last night, but he was too tired and looked terrible after removing his makeup. Not wanting Gu Lanxi to see him like that, he went upstairs to sleep.

Because he went directly upstairs from the underground parking garage, he had never actually been to the garden.

The vibrant roses of May have faded, but a clump of jasmine grows in the corner of the wall.

The double-petaled, pure white flowers, swaying in the night breeze, resembled little fairies fluttering about.

In addition, inspired by the blooming rain lilies, the several pots of lotus flowers that Lu Nanting specially bought have also started to bloom.

Aunt Ding even flew over several times to keep the garden beautiful.

But at this moment, Lu Nanting had no interest in looking at it anymore.

With a "click," Gu Lanxi turned on the switch, and the warm yellow light came on.

A huge nail painting appeared completely before his eyes.

After several months of work, Gu Lanxi, with her skill of squeezing water droplets from a sponge, finally completed this great project during her spare time.

“It’s incredible…”

Lu Nanting always thought he was good at creating surprises, but compared to Gu Lanxi, he often felt that he wasn't putting in enough effort.

He always learned a lot of tips and tricks from others, but Gu Lanxi preferred to figure them out on her own.

Despite the time and effort involved, they never skimped on the expenses for him.

Because she said, "The most valuable thing I have is my time and energy. It's nothing that I'm willing to spend money on you, but it's that I'm willing to put in effort for you, which means that you're the only one in my heart."

She said those words to stop Lu Nanting from being so suspicious all the time, guarding against both men and women, which was exhausting.

After hearing this, Lu Nanting became even more clingy to her.

I like to stay by her side whenever I'm not working, making sure all her free time is mine.

Mei and the others always felt that the two of them were too clingy, but they didn't think so.

They really enjoy being together.

"It can be even more interesting!"

Gu Lanxi pressed the switch again, and the light immediately changed to a spotlight in the lower left corner.

Then, Lu Nanting saw that the nail painting had transformed from a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional one.

Seeing that he was stunned, Gu Lanxi changed the lighting several times, and then the painting had a different effect!

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

"like."

Lu Nanting hugged her tightly: "What is this gift?"

His birthday is July 18th, which is still about a month away!
"A gift for June 22nd?"

"Okay, okay, I got it. I just wanted to give it to you. There's no reason why. It was just a surprise, right?"

"Correct!"

Gu Lanxi nodded, very happy.

Lu Nanting took her phone, unlocked it, and gestured for her to control the lights.

"Let me film this and post it in the group chat, hehe, so my two sisters-in-law can pinch my brothers' ears." "Oh dear, you're so naughty! Hehe, hurry up and film it~"

The whole family is busy, so it's not easy for them to get together on weekdays, but they all enjoy chatting in the family group chat, so they don't feel awkward at all.

The young couple harbored a mischievous intention, and late at night they decided to provoke the other three couples in the family.

The elderly couple were fine; as they got older, they were happy to see them making a fuss. But Wei Xuan and Wang Peiling felt a little uneasy.

Ever since they saw that video and heard the third brother showing off in it, Lu Nansheng and Lu Nanyi's expressions have changed.

It was so mournful, so bittersweet.

Say something?

He even turned his back and muttered to himself, "How am I inferior to the third brother?"

Tsk.

The young couple had a wild night, and when they got up the next day it was already past ten o'clock. After slowly washing up and eating, they went to the film set together. When they arrived at the dressing room, it was not yet one o'clock.

She hasn't had many scenes lately, and she comes to the set every afternoon. Even after she arrives, she doesn't film scene by scene; she has to wait for her turn.

The young couple sat close together on the double sofa, thinking that they hadn't played games together in a long time, so they took out their phones. As soon as they turned on their phones, Gu Lanxi received complaints from her two sisters-in-law, who sounded aggrieved.

My sister-in-law has been married into the Lu family for over ten years and is now in her forties. Because of her husband's vanity, she's always thinking about how to give him a meaningful gift.

My second sister-in-law has been married for seven or eight years, and the passion she had when she was dating is long gone. Now, in order not to disappoint her husband, she is racking her brains to figure out how to make him happy.

They harbored deep resentment towards Gu Lanxi, the instigator.

He spent at least half an hour cursing his younger brother, that troublemaker, in private messages.

Unexpectedly, this was the next development. Gu Lanxi thought about it for a moment, then pulled her two sisters-in-law into a group chat and began criticizing her two brothers for asking for gifts:
Whether or not to give gifts, what to give, and when to give them are our business. Besides, it's one thing for us to be willing to give, and quite another for them to ask us for them. Sisters-in-law, in my opinion, our brothers are spoiled. Don't pay them any mind. I'll be back in a few days to film some materials, and I'll have a couple of days off. How about I take you two to Beidaihe for a swim?

His wife takes meticulous care of him at home every day, so they don't have to worry about the elderly or the children, or manage any household affairs. They're so idle that they have so many demands.

My wife went out for a couple of days, so leaving the two of them at home and taking the kids to and from school every day was enough.

It must be said that after being persuaded by Gu Lanxi, the two sisters-in-law suddenly cleared their heads and quickly agreed to go out with her.

Gu Lanxi exited WeChat and glanced at Lu Nanting.

If you insist on showing off, you'll only bring trouble upon yourself.

There's no other way. She originally planned to spend two days off with him, but now she intends to spend more time with her sisters-in-law.

Seeing the strange look in her eyes, Lu Nanting immediately asked her what was wrong.
After Gu Lanxi said that, Lu Nanting was completely flustered!
"Just the three of you? You're not taking me?"

“If you go, your two older brothers will want to go too. Won’t the kids be left with Mom? You’re so unfilial! You’re always trying to make her suffer!”

"But we don't have children, and I also..."

"What if your brothers go on a business trip or something? You'll have to pick up and drop off the two kids, won't you?"

After all, it's not like they haven't done this kind of thing before.

So, in the end, I'm the only one who suffers?

"Yeah, isn't this all the trouble you caused?"

“You agreed last night, and you were even happy about it.”

"If you were to throw firecrackers into your neighbor's latrine, I would be happy too; I would think you're so adorable."

"You...you've been so mean to me..."

"But it can't be too good, otherwise they'll be spoiled and life will be hard."

As the two were bickering, Nan Zhi and Niu Lili knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Lu Nanting's long face, they quickly asked with smiles, "Oh~ what's wrong, Teacher Lu?"

The two bickered in private, but naturally they wouldn't tell the staff.

Seeing that he was silent, the two immediately stopped talking, then took out the script and told Gu Lanxi about the scenes to be filmed that afternoon.

Ever since Juanwang first went to the market and bought a bunch of things, and I praised him a lot and cooked dishes that all three of them love, he has fallen in love with this activity.

I now go on a big shopping trip almost every week.

And you know what? After buying so many, he's become quite shrewd.

Previously, when I bought bananas, they were supposed to weigh six or so pounds, but when they were weighed, they were only four pounds and two ounces or so. When I bought watermelons, they were spoiled when I cut them open, more than once. When I bought grapes, the vendor switched them with the real ones, and I only realized something was wrong when I got home...

Now I know to follow the old men when buying things, listen to them ask about prices, and silently point out which one I want, so that no one can tell I'm from out of town.

I was planning to give him my handheld scale, but I felt the weight was off, so I decided to weigh it myself before leaving.

Many things, no matter how many times they are taught, are not as good as practice.

Er Mao said he would sing for me and make empty promises every day, from the first day of school until Friday.

Every time we get to that intersection, she says to me, "Mom, I'll sing you a song."

The first time I sang, my mom was really looking forward to it and said I should sing it at home.

I don't even remember going home anymore.

The second time, I was a little embarrassed and said the same thing to me again.

The third time, I stood there and wouldn't leave until they sang.

He covered his face, sullenly walked away, and ignored me.

When they asked me the fourth or fifth time, I said, "No, I don't want to hear it unless you give me 50 cents."

I heard it today, and all I can do is sing that one line over and over again.

Killing me.

I subscribed to the newspaper for my older sister. She starts classes tomorrow, so I'll have to read it with her every day, referring to the textbook.

I'm really looking forward to my tricycle, but Juan Wang is worried that I might tip it over.

I will practice properly before coaching others.
