The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 653 We can't always be unlucky.
"Quick! Chase after them!"

The mall had already closed by this time, and to make it easier for moviegoers watching the midnight showing, only one fire escape and one elevator that went directly to the fourth floor were left open.

The young couple came out early. Just as they exited the side door of the movie theater and were about to take the elevator, they heard faint urging sounds coming from the fire escape.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps and panting could be heard.

There were exactly six people.

After making her judgment, Gu Lanxi immediately pulled Lu Nanting back to the movie theater.

Having learned her lesson, she now avoids any trouble, remembering the time she accidentally got filmed buying chicken legs late at night.

The two people before them were even more bundled up than the two of them. In the middle of summer, they not only wore masks, but also hats and sunglasses, and they looked rather neurotic.

Upon seeing them approaching, the two screamed as if they had seen a ghost, and then ran away hand in hand along the mall's circular corridor.

Although they couldn't enter any shops except the movie theater, it would still be quite easy for them to use the terrain to shake off the person.

They seemed to enjoy being chased, so the two ran and howled. The other people didn't even look into the movie theater and just kept chasing after them.

After everyone left, the two were about to take the elevator when the last movie ended and the audience members came out in twos and threes.

The two exchanged a glance and followed at the back of the crowd.

There were too many people and the elevator was full, so some people didn't want to wait and went down the fire escape.

The young couple held hands and followed behind in silence.

There are no lights in the fire escape, so it takes a lot of courage to go downstairs in the dark.

"Who's wailing and howling like that?"

"I don't know, maybe some young people come here looking for thrills!"

"Don't be alone, there are too many people who aren't thinking clearly these days."

"Hmm, I wonder if any of the security guards on night duty went to arrest them."

The two listened to the gossip of others and quickly went down to the underground parking lot.

On the drive home, they talked about the plot the whole way, and Lu Nanting felt that his understanding of the movie had become much deeper.

When the two returned home, Tuantuan was sleeping soundly on her back. Lu Nanting bent down and carried her to the small bed on the inside.

Speaking of this small bed, Gu Lanxi has had a tough time.

As Tuantuan grew bigger, especially after she could crawl, she became very restless while sleeping. It was a bit crowded for the family of three to sleep together. Gu Lanxi first moved her crib to the master bedroom so that she could sleep there, but she just wasn't happy about it.

There was no other way but to ask the elder who had made furniture for them before to make a small bed with high railings on three sides, according to the size of the bed in the master bedroom, and put it together with the big bed.

Gu Lanxi specially hung a beautiful mosquito net on the crib and hung a lot of toys on the railing. As long as she was put to sleep, she could move her inside, and even if she woke up in the middle of the night, she wouldn't make a fuss.

After going out late at night and working up a sweat, the couple took a shower and went to bed, just as they were about to fall asleep, when Lu Nanting received a call from Zhang Mingyuan.

Gu Lanxi picked up her phone and saw that Sister Mei had also called, but she preferred to sleep on silent mode and hadn't heard it.

The two exchanged a glance, fastened the railings on the bed, and went to the next room one after the other.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

When the call connected, we realized we were talking about the same thing.

"Zhang Yunzheng? Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Yunzheng is older than Gu Lanxi, debuted earlier, and has won numerous awards, making her a top-tier film actress in the Chinese entertainment industry. However, as Gu Lanxi rose to prominence, many of Zhang Yunzheng's resources were taken away from her. After Gu Lanxi accepted a script that Zhang Yunzheng had long coveted, their conflict erupted.

Previously, Zhang Yunzheng had launched several rounds of public opinion attacks against her. Gu Lanxi said that it was nothing, that it was because she was not good enough that people were dissatisfied. In fact, she had already taken action in private.

Finally, it was the other party's agency boss who asked Jiang Yan to act as an intermediary, and Gu Lanxi was able to swallow her anger temporarily.

Now I hear that she went out late at night and was photographed kissing a young man in a fire escape. I almost blurted out "What goes around comes around!"

It's worth noting that Zhang Yunzheng has cultivated a persona of a virtuous wife and loving mother, and she frequently flaunts her affection for her director husband.

The most common thing fans say is, "Seeing Zhengzheng so happily made me cry before she did."

"Pfft~ I wonder if they're still in the mood to cry?"

After hanging up the phone, I opened the trending topics list and saw that Zhang Yunzheng had almost completely dominated it.

It's true that the footage captured by paparazzi is unsightly.

It was one thing for them to hug and kiss as they went downstairs, but once they got into it, they stood against the wall, grabbing the young man's crotch and touching him repeatedly.

Even if the person is wearing pants, the video still has to be heavily censored.

This is absolutely an eyesore!
What's most talked about, besides this subversive and outrageous behavior, is that the person's exposure was purely accidental.

When Gu Lanxi logged on using a secondary account, the paparazzi who had taken these photos were live-streaming.

"We went to the cinema with the Lanting couple, hoping to find out why they were out so late at night. Maybe we could even get some footage of Fried Chicken Leg 3.0? Right?"

Gu Lanxi has a habit of sneaking out late at night to eat fried chicken, which led to her getting an endorsement deal she had no choice but to accept. This has generated a lot of buzz, with people outside the industry talking about it and those inside the industry envious, wishing they could take her place.

The paparazzi's jokes were spot-on, and everyone in the live stream was laughing.

Including Gu Lanxi.

“I watched ‘The Tenants’ yesterday. It takes more than an hour to come down. The other colleagues couldn’t wait and left one after another. My partner and I didn’t have any other tasks, so we simply split up and continued to wait for them to come downstairs.”

"Although Mr. Gu was seeing the movie for the second time, Mr. Lu wasn't. I figured they'd probably stay until the very end, and with everyone rushing out, the elevators would be packed, making it inconvenient for them. They'd probably sneak down to the underground parking garage through the fire escape. So I had my colleague keep an eye on the elevators while I ran to the fire escape and found a corner to hide in. Little did I expect that instead of getting Mr. Gu's late-night snack, I'd stumble upon a huge juicy story!"

Zhang Yunzheng and that young man also came to see a movie, but not "The Tenants," so they left about ten minutes earlier.

Like the Lanting couple, they didn't dare watch until the end and left before the movie was over.

Because of their different circumstances and the fear of surveillance cameras in the elevator, they naturally wouldn't take the elevator.

So, the two couldn't help themselves in the pitch-black fire escape, and were caught on camera by a paparazzi's professional camera.

"Those who have worked with the Lanting couple for many years know that they like to go out for a stroll at night. If you want to take good photos, you need to prepare a camera suitable for shooting night scenes. The camera really deserves a lot of credit for being able to take such clear photos."

The two were engrossed in their secret tryst when a flash of light suddenly shone on them. They immediately scurried upstairs like startled birds, attempting to escape using the mall's complex layout.

"They put on masks the moment they saw me. And when I took the picture, the angle was wrong, so I only got a shot of the back of their heads. When they tried to run away, I quickly called my partner to chase after them. But it turned out that the colleague who left earlier had just gone to get a late-night snack and hadn't left. They had just come back and got a great deal. We were lucky, though. After running for almost half an hour, my colleague and I finally caught them!"

The paparazzi were extremely smug: "The evidence couldn't be more solid, right? Look at that face, I don't even need to say anything. Both of them bring men out to play in the middle of the night, but Gu Lanxi only knows to bring her own husband? Seriously, it's not like she doesn't have one at home! They pretend to be so loving all the time, but when it really matters, they just disappear! Honestly, comparing the two of them makes my eyes water."

Gu Lanxi was in the live stream and immediately sensed something was wrong when she heard this.

Is this an attempt to gain traffic by exploiting a feud between the two fan groups?
The first episode of the script was finished, and three chapters of the new book were completed. Then, my writer's block inexplicably disappeared.

I'm a miracle worker when it comes to saving myself.

Life just lacks a bit of passion.
