For many days in a row, the young couple were able to see each other every day, which made them both very happy.

During the day, like any ordinary couple, they go out to work separately, and at night, no matter what time they finish work, they go straight home to be with each other.

During this period, thanks to the dual endorsement, they spent two whole days filming promotional materials together.

Although we see each other every day, working together and spending all day together feels very different.

As a result, the couple's emotions were particularly stable during this period, which also led to a good working atmosphere in both studios.

That evening, after the couple finished work and returned home, they talked about the wedding-themed concert. Lu Nanting said he had choreographed a dance for her, so Gu Lanxi went to the dance studio with him and practiced for more than half an hour.

After finishing my workout and returning to my bedroom, I washed up and lay down; it was almost midnight.

But thinking about flying home tomorrow morning to have dinner with her family, Gu Lanxi couldn't sleep.

It's been a long time since I've been back. I've prepared gifts for everyone else, but the space station model for my nephew hasn't been delivered yet. I don't know if it will be ready by tomorrow...

The bedroom lights were off, and the curtains were left slightly ajar, but it was already late June, and there wasn't a trace of moonlight to be seen.

The two lay together in the dark, hand in hand, tickling each other and touching each other's hands. After they had touched each other enough, they suppressed their laughter and complimented each other, saying things like, "Teacher Lu, your hands are so smooth," or "Teacher Gu's hands are not bad either." Before long, they were rolling around laughing together.

Just as things were getting heated, Gu Lanxi's phone rang.

These days, whether it's for business or personal matters, people prefer to maintain appropriate social distancing, communicating online whenever possible and avoiding phone calls unless absolutely necessary.

Especially outside of working hours, and in the middle of the night.

The phone rang at that moment. Either it was a family emergency calling; or she was trending on social media and Mei Xue wasn't sure how to handle it; or something serious had happened at her company.

None of them should be overlooked.

So she immediately sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and picked up her phone.

The result, however, was an unexpected person.

"Chen Lei? What does she want with me at this hour?"

Gu Lanxi picked up the phone, her brows furrowing tightly.

Previously in Paris, Chen Lei treated her to dinner and then asked her to help her get an audition for Tian Wei's new movie.

Gu Lanxi kept her promise and took care of the matter as soon as she returned.

Tian Wei was very frank. She told her privately that she actually preferred Yang Shiyi, but their schedules didn't quite match. Yang Shiyi also felt that Yang Shiyi was the second female lead and wanted more screen time. The production team was trying to persuade her to take on more roles.

Since she brought it up, the matter was left unresolved.

Soon, the production team signed a contract with Chen Lei and gave her the role.

Yang Shiyi quickly received the news and called directly, asking her in a sarcastic tone what she had done to offend her and why she was being targeted at her.

Because of the old grudge from last year's competition for the opening cover of Marie Claire, Yang Shiyi was furious and said some rather unpleasant things.

She is a top-tier actress who values ​​her commercial value the most. Although her acting skills are average, she is beautiful and has top-tier business and fashion resources for several consecutive years.

Gu Lanxi's career path is both politically sound and professionally competent. She didn't develop business in the past, so she had no competition with Gu Lanxi. The two never crossed paths, and if they met in public, they would at most nod and greet each other.

This year, Gu Lanxi first stole her magazine cover, then tried to steal her movie role, and what's most infuriating is that she stole it for someone else. Yang Shiyi naturally felt extremely humiliated!

Everyone was afraid of Gu Lanxi's background and didn't want to confront her head-on. But Yang Shiyi was also signed with a big company. At this point, if she didn't speak up, she might be seen as weak and easily bullied.

Gu Lanxi listened quietly until Yang Shiyi finished ranting before calmly telling her, "The cover was the magazine's choice; whoever is good enough gets it, so it's not my fault. As for the role, Director Tian does prefer you, but with your status, it's not worth taking on the second female lead. They're in a rush to start filming, and your schedule doesn't match, so you can't join the crew for so long, and they can't afford to waste time. Now that you've ranted, I won't argue back. I'll just make a connection for you to meet with Director Wu Fangzhai. If you're willing, we can make peace and work together peacefully. If you're not willing, I'm not afraid to offend you." In the end, Yang Shiyi took the opportunity to join Wu Fangzhai's crew. Filming started in April and was nearing its end.

Chen Lei signed on to Tian Wei's project, and Tian Wei had just finished filming her TV series and immediately joined the new project, which is almost two months ago.

For a meal, he risked two favors from his boss. This was not only because businessmen value harmony and making money, but also because Gu Lanxi always kept his word.

Since she had promised Chen Lei, she would keep her promise no matter what.

As for feeling deeply cheated and planning to reduce contact with Chen Lei in the future, there's no need to tell outsiders.

Why are you calling in the middle of the night? Did something bad happen on set?
If it's Chen Lei's private matter, Gu Lanxi doesn't want to get involved, but if it involves the film crew, it wouldn't be good to ignore it.

After all, I was the one who introduced them.

Thinking of this, Gu Lanxi sighed and answered the phone while it was still ringing.

"Honey, don't worry, I'm coming! Wait for me a moment!"

The phone rang, and before I could even say hello, the other person inexplicably said this.

Something was clearly wrong, so just to be on the safe side, Gu Lanxi asked, "Where are you? It's so noisy."

"I'm at the dock, I'm coming right now, don't cry~~"

Chen Lei shouted this at her, and then her voice faded into the distance: "I fucking told you, my best friend is in trouble, she's crying and waiting for me right now! I don't have time for that..."

Even through the phone, Gu Lanxi could imagine the other person waving the phone around.

Realizing that she had been used as a shield in the middle of the night, Gu Lanxi was so angry she almost lost her temper!

She wasn't the type to curse at people when she was unhappy, so seeing this, she simply hung up the phone.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Lu Nanting asked what was wrong, hugged her and patted her for a while before finally coaxing her to sleep.

Over the next two days, after the young couple went home to have dinner with their families, Gu Lanxi took her two sisters-in-law to Beidaihe to enjoy the water.

As for the eccentric Chen Lei, she had long since forgotten about her.

It's a small matter, not worth a falling out. Scolding someone is a waste of time, and she never tortures herself with internal conflicts.

After all, there are so many interesting things in the world, why waste time and energy on unworthy people?

Chen Lei is relying on her friendship to do this, and she will surely get what she deserves. Why rush things?
Is it that motorboats are hard to drive, or kayaks aren't fun? At the very least, there's the hydrofoil I haven't learned yet.

With limited vacation time, you have to make the most of it.

After she had thoroughly enjoyed two days of fun, she returned to the film set yawning. While she was still at the airport, Chen Lei, wearing large sunglasses, rushed over and hugged her as soon as they met.

Then came a long, earth-shattering cry.

Gu Lanxi had a lot of cursing to say, but seeing her howling like this, she had no choice but to pull her away quickly.

I have no idea how a pig's brain can grow so big.

Such a big star, running around crying at the airport.

Crying is one thing, but could you please not hug her? (End of Chapter)
