Chapter 566 Making a Stupid Move
Gu Lanxi hadn't received a furious phone call from Sister Mei in a long time.

As the weather gets colder and she went to bed late last night, it was difficult for Gu Lanxi, a sleepyhead, to fight off sleepiness and get up early.

When she heard the phone ring early in the morning, her first reaction was not to get out of bed to answer it, but to snuggle even closer into Lu Nanting's arms.

The phone rang the first time, and neither of them moved. When it rang a second time, Lu Nanting got up, picked up the phone, answered it, and put it to her ear.

Gu Lanxi was half asleep. When the blanket was lifted up a little, it let in a draft, so she shrank back down. She didn't want to open her eyes when she heard the noise.

After Sister Mei launched into a tirade, Gu Lanxi didn't quite catch what she was saying and mumbled, "What's wrong?"

She's been keeping a low profile lately, focusing on filming on set every day. Even when Lu Nanting comes to pick her up or drop her off, it doesn't make her a trending topic.

After all, they see each other every day, even the paparazzi are tired of taking pictures, and the fans have long been used to it.

"Your public accusation against your fans is trending on social media!"

Gu Lanxi is the kind of person who, whenever she has a spare moment, wants to find a place to sleep. Of the ten times she makes a phone call, she is at least half asleep five times.

As soon as Sister Mei heard her speak, she knew that this guy was still out of his mind, so she softened her tone and briefly explained the situation.

The reason I'm so angry is that I haven't encountered anything like this in a long time.

"Ok?"

Gu Lanxi was still a little groggy from sleep when she heard Mei Xue's words, which were full of disappointment and frustration, and she immediately opened her eyes.

It's not that I'm the type to do something but not take responsibility for it.

Having caught the keywords, he frowned: "What did the website say?"

Okay, my first thought was that a website staff member leaked the information.

In her mind, this should be considered user privacy, and if someone found out, it must have been done by staff.

"Didn't you know? When you make a real-name report, the person being reported will receive a system message. The person making the report will have their face blurred out, and the reason for the report will also be given to them."

"Did she delete the video? Isn't it normal for someone to report you for editing that kind of video? Only someone with a screw loose would criticize me, right?"

While she was on the phone, Lu Nanting had already taken his own phone and seen the trending topic.

#Lu Nanting's Number One Toxic Fan#
Surprisingly, Gu Lanxi's name wasn't mentioned in the topic.

Upon clicking in, it turned out that initially, the fan whose video was reported and deleted had posted a screenshot of the system message in the CP (couple) supertopic, excitedly expressing:
[Oh my god, everyone! Does anyone know what's going on?! I woke up this morning and found that the video I edited a few days ago was reposted by the person in question, hahaha!! Does this mean she saw it??]

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, he posted several more messages in a row:
[I told you long ago, this love-struck fan is Tingzai's number one toxic fan, and some toxic fans even called me a liar, hahaha, I can almost hear the sound of them being slapped in the face.]

[Don't say 'Gu*xi' might not be her. Look at the reason for the report: 'Lu Nanting is an excellent person, intelligent, brave and responsible. Please don't demonize him, thank you.' Think about it with your toes. If it's not her, how could such a reason, which has nothing to do with her, possibly lead to the video being uploaded?]

Even the poisonous moth doesn't mind the dog sculpture, only she does. Sigh, I'm shipping them again~~

[Who is it? So lucky! The person who edited this video saw it and even reported it. It's me, hahaha!]

The fans didn't take it seriously, even the fan whose video was deleted.

A video proves that Gu Lanxi reads fan-made content and is so protective of Lu Nanting, which satisfies both solo fans and CP fans.

But the haters were not satisfied, and neither were the opposing team.

[This is ridiculous! Which celebrity would report their fans?]

[Exactly! So petty. Fans put in so much love and edited such heartwarming videos, but the person watching doesn't find it sweet at all, just incredibly annoying~~ and they're still grinning like an idiot, it's just speechless.]

[I checked out this girl's profile. She started as a die-hard fan of GLX and has been editing videos for years. But the idol doesn't appreciate it at all; she just reported her like that. Tsk tsk. Wouldn't she have shown a little more genuine care for her fans?]

Fans didn't think so at first, but as the negative trending topics were constantly being bought and promoted, many casual fans were also swayed and felt that Gu Lanxi's actions were inappropriate.

Mei Xue was anxious because the fans were now making a fuss and demanding that Gu Lanxi apologize.

Should I play dumb or admit it?
The whistleblower blurred her face, but the blur wasn't very thick, so it wasn't solid evidence. Playing dumb might work, but she's afraid a lot of casual fans will think she doesn't care about her followers.

Admit it? It's not entirely safe either.

Praising male celebrities like dogs is actually a very popular way to attract fans. Little Slippers has always liked to do this, feeling that Lu Nanting fits their image of a "loyal dog" better this way.

"Sister Mei, what do you think is the best course of action?"

For professional matters, ask professionals.

Given Sister Mei's personality, she wouldn't have called her so early in the morning if she hadn't come up with a solution.

"Use your CP fan account to post an early photo of him to appease the fans. No need for a caption, just tag him with something like 'male god,' leaving plenty of room for their imagination. Don't respond to Teacher Lu for now. Agreeing with the fans would be undermining you, and agreeing with you would be disrespecting their support. Wait a few days until a brand's flagship store opens, right? Arrange for a fan Q&A session then, asking him about his attitude towards things like fans 'dog statues,' and he can say that he forwarded the video to you. That's all; the fans will understand. I've already spoken to Tian Tian, ​​and she'll remind Teacher Lu." Sister Mei said a lot, and Gu Lanxi put it on speakerphone. Both of them understood and thought it was okay, so they immediately followed her instructions.

It has to be said that Sister Mei is really amazing; she even guessed that the video was shown to her by Lu Nanting.

So, "The Mountains and Rivers as Witness," which hadn't released any new content in a long time, started spreading sweetness early in the morning.

I posted a photo of Lu Nanting in his school uniform.

In the height of summer, Lu Nanting, dressed in a blue and white summer school uniform, lowered her head slightly and smiled gently and affectionately at the camera. Her skin was as white as porcelain, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her long eyelashes were curled and upturned. Because the sunlight was just right and it was a close-up shot, even her clear amber eyes and the natural flow of her eyebrows were captured.

That was around the time when Lu Nanting was about to take the college entrance examination. He hadn't debuted yet, but the young master had always been refined and looked no different from now, only a little more mature as he grew older.

Winter's buzz cut has grown long, with a fluffy, slightly messy top, making him a definite campus heartthrob.

In Gu Lanxi's lens, Lu Nanting was completely different from his usual aloofness, showing a side of him that fans had never seen before.

Gu Lanxi spent a full five minutes searching through her cloud drive before finally finding the photo.

She was reluctant to share, but since she had done something stupid, she had to deal with it.

"It suddenly feels a bit like a nurturing relationship."

As Gu Lanxi sat up and waited for Lu Nanting to dress her, she suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Lu Nanting patted her head, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing.

As soon as Gu Lanxi arrived at the film set, she heard the staff saying how cute she was when she was a child.

I took out my phone and saw that the second photo of the day, "Mountains and Rivers as Witness," had been posted.

Lu Nanting also didn't write any captions, but his photos all had time watermarks.

She was eighteen years old, wearing a white dress, standing outside the farm's chicken coop.

With chubby cheeks, a slightly tilted head, thick, glossy black hair hanging down, hands behind her back, she looked with delight at a little rooster standing proudly on the railing.

Gu Lanxi rarely posts photos of her personal life. When she does share one, she always posts photos of Lu Nanting. Because of this, many haters criticize her for trying to gain popularity by associating with Lu Nanting and leeching off his fame.

Therefore, fans rarely see her in real life, especially photos from before her debut.

The fans were thrilled as soon as it was released!

Especially those little fans, in order to coax Lu Nanting to post more pictures, did not hesitate to pretend to be CP fans, frantically calling him "Daddy" in the comments section, begging him to share more beautiful photos of his mother.

Lu Nanting found it amusing and indeed posted another four-grid photo.

The first picture shows Gu Lanxi wearing watermelon-red shorts and a white short-sleeved shirt, catching shrimp in a stream with a net. The second picture shows her wearing a white dress, standing in a rose field, making two rabbit ears, tilting her head and smiling brightly. The third picture shows her wearing a sweater, throwing a tantrum at him, lying on the table with the back of her head facing him. The fourth picture shows her in the library, cupping her face and leaning close to him, listening attentively to what he is saying.

The four photos span a year or two.

Gu Lanxi has shared many glimpses of Lu Nanting from her sister-in-law's perspective, but Lu Nanting rarely shares glimpses of his brother-in-law.

Seeing these photos, Xiao Yuanbao couldn't help but praise him.

If it weren't for Lu Nanting, given Gu Lanxi's personality, they probably would never have seen such a photo in their lifetime.

The photos have already been posted, and it's clear that Lu Nanting is genuinely happy. Coupled with her busy filming schedule, Gu Lanxi sighed and didn't pursue the matter further.

When Lu Nanting came to pick her up that evening, he brought bad news:

"To lure you into reporting us, and to use our existing stockpile of content, fans from all three groups are frantically editing those kinds of videos. #World'sNumberOneBeastTamer# has already topped the trending searches. Are we still going to do PR?"

Gu Lanxi took a deep breath and waved her hand: "It's okay, I'll just ignore it. Out of sight, out of mind. Don't pay attention to them, the more you engage with them, the more they'll provoke you."

“I’m used to it. Everyone knows that Little Dragonfly is a vengeful fan who always goes against me. But aren’t you sad? Little Yuanbao used to spoil you so much, and now he’s starting to rebel.”

Gu Lanxi silently put on her blindfold, showing no intention of going online.

Once the car was out of the urban village, he sighed and said to Lu Nanting with a heavy expression, "Let's stay away from the lives of our fans!"

Last time, she couldn't resist her curiosity and went to peek at a fan gathering at the mall, only to get caught. That's when she came to this conclusion, and now she's even more convinced of it.

Lu Nanting tried to hold back his laughter, but couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, how can my wife be so adorable?"

Gu Lanxi pretended to be asleep and ignored him.

The ancestors of Lantingji were incredibly wealthy; they could easily find treasures just by digging around, haha. Just thinking about how their fans are causing trouble, trying to provoke them into releasing their old stock, makes me want to laugh.
