The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Gu Lanxi has been living a pretty comfortable life lately.

One of her college roommates came to visit her during her vacation, and the other was about to return to China to work after graduating with her PhD. The movie she filmed had already reached the point of being a satisfying, escapist storyline. Every scene she filmed felt like a mental spa treatment!

As for Lu Nanting, although they are busy every day, the two of them go home on time after get off work, just like any other ordinary couple.

In addition, Tuantuan is very well-behaved, and her mother-in-law often comes to help. Even the only small regret is taken care of by her fans. She really can't think of anything that is not satisfactory.

But her fans all felt sorry for her.

Fans often say, "So it turns out there's a time difference when it comes to feeling sorry for someone," and that's absolutely true.

She's in an incredibly good mood right now, but her fans are still heartbroken over her grandfather's passing. When they heard that the movie had some rather tragic scenes, they started crying even before they knew the full story.

It's really frustrating.

But Gu Lanxi was more able to understand their feelings.

Intense emotions often arise from love. Fans unconditionally dote on her, and when they see her sad, they empathize with her and even amplify her pain.

"Seriously, I never imagined that the youngest would become an actor. I also never imagined that I would stick to scientific research. But you're the most amazing one. You stayed in that godforsaken place for so many years. I wouldn't even dare to imagine it!"

When Gu Lanxi arrived, Long Lin had already drunk two ounces of wine and was having a heart-to-heart chat with Mi Duoduo, his arm around her neck.

Mi Duoduo must have drunk more; her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were glazed, and her forehead was resting on Long Lin's shoulder. She just listened quietly without interrupting.

Because of the nature of her work, she received special training in confidentiality, and at this time, she would automatically seal her mouth shut, which had become a habit of hers.

Dragon Scales didn't argue with her.

She hadn't been back to China in a long time and had just met up with old friends, so once she started talking, she didn't stop.

Upon seeing Gu Lanxi arrive, they immediately invited her to sit down.

Gu Lanxi first draped a shawl over Mi Duoduo, then moved to the other side of the dragon scale and sat down. Seeing that half of the dishes on the table were still untouched, she didn't mind and quickly picked up the bowl next to her and ladled herself a bowl of hot lotus root soup.

The lotus root from Honghu, with peanuts added, is stewed with pork ribs, resulting in a fragrant, soft, and glutinous dish.

In the dead of winter, after shooting until so late, a bowl of hot soup would be the perfect treat.

"What are you guys talking about? I just finished work and didn't have time to pick you up from the airport, so I let the boss go by himself."

"Just want to chat, I've been waiting for you!"

Long Lin laughed and pulled her close, giving her a big kiss on the forehead: "Hey, little one! I've missed you so much!"

She went to the other side of the ocean, and there was a time difference between her and Gu Lanxi. In addition, they were both busy, so for a long time, the main way they contacted each other was by sending emails!

Now that we've finally met, and we see that we haven't changed much from before, we're overjoyed and can't stop talking.

Mi Duoduo looked up at the two of them, and seeing that it wouldn't be over anytime soon, she went to lie down on the sofa in the rest area.

Lili and Nanzhi were having a late-night snack in the outer room. They would come in every now and then to check on her. Seeing that she was asleep, they quickly took her coat and covered her with it.

As for Gu Lanxi and Long Lin, they had already started talking about Chen Wan, who was far away in England.

“My schedule is quite tight, and every time I go abroad, many people are watching me. I wanted to go to England to see her, but I didn’t find the opportunity. However, she came to Paris specifically to have dinner with me.”

Speaking of Chen Wan, Gu Lanxi had a whole bunch of funny stories to tell! "You know, she switched to a German company this year, and she's the only one in the whole company who speaks Chinese. She's fine with work on weekdays, mainly communicating in English. But when the whole company has a big meeting, everyone else speaks German, and she's incredibly insecure, even though she's getting a high salary. She's always worried about what people are saying behind her back. She secretly asked me for German learning materials. I was busy at the time, so I just sent them to her. A few days later, I remembered that I learned German for my horse, and my accent is a bit different. By the time I looked for her, she had already learned a lot of common phrases and confidently went to chat with her colleagues..."

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.

"She called me then, saying she was having some trouble fitting in and couldn't understand why the boss hired her. I asked her if she knew what an 'international company' was. She suddenly realized and said that she was the 'international company' all along, haha!"

"After bringing in foreign senior technical personnel, there will be tax benefits, which saves money for the boss in a roundabout way! Besides, we are world-renowned for our hard work, right? We have no complaints about working overtime and we are very diligent. If I were the boss, I would be happy to hire them too."

When Long Lin brought this up, he had a lot to say: "I didn't even want to come back. You have no idea about my mentor..."

Ordinary students have their own worries, and their academic journey is not always smooth sailing.

Gu Lanxi frowned as she listened to her recount these complicated details.

After the two had finished chatting, the food on the table got cold. When they checked the time, it was almost midnight, so they quickly asked someone to take them back to the hotel.

Long Lin had sobered up after chatting for a while, but Mi Duoduo was still feeling the effects of the alcohol and was getting sleepier and sleepier. Gu Lanxi simply called a bodyguard to carry her to the car.

Long Lin had also been drinking, so he couldn't drive.

Not wanting anyone else to take her, Gu Lanxi went to the hotel with the two of them.

By the time she helped everyone upstairs and settled them in, it was almost two o'clock when she came downstairs.

She was so tired that she fell asleep in the car.

After arriving home, saying goodbye to the staff, and then groggily returning home, Lu Nanting and Tuantuan were both fast asleep.

Gu Lanxi didn't disturb them. She quietly washed up and went to sleep.

Then, at eight o'clock the next morning, while Gu Lanxi was still asleep, she received a call from Sister Mei.

Sister Mei's first question was: "What did you do last night?"

Gu Lanxi was still half asleep. She gave a brief explanation and was about to hang up when she heard a long sigh of relief from the other end of the line, as if the person had finally come back to life. She quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The paparazzi spread rumors that you cheated on your partner, went into a hotel with someone, and even took photos of you two kissing and hugging."

Gu Lanxi was speechless: "That's my roommate!! A girl! Heterosexual!"

Long Lin likes trendy and cool outfits, is a long-time anime fan, and is also very tall, so she is often mistaken for a boy. Back in her school days, many people had misunderstood the relationship between her and Long Lin.

She lived with Long Lin and the others since she was thirteen years old, and they didn't separate until she graduated with a master's degree. Because she and Long Lin had similar majors, they often took classes together, and their relationship was particularly close compared to the other two.

When they were little, because of their age difference, when she was still a tiny bean sprout, Longlin had already grown tall and strong. Back then, her favorite thing to do was to jump onto Longlin's back and pester her to carry her.

It's perfectly normal for best friends to kiss, hug, and hold hands. Plus, they haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's not unreasonable for them to be a little intimate.

When Sister Mei learned of the situation, she was about to deal with it when she saw Long Lin post on Weibo!
She had been living abroad for the past few years, and her Weibo account was registered recently.

However, when she made the clarification, she posted a photo with Gu Lanxi, which quickly attracted attention.

[I'm a female, sexually attracted to men. I've been @顾兰溪's roommate since college; it's a purely platonic friendship. Anyone spreading rumors, please delete this post; otherwise, I might need to hire a lawyer.]

Surprisingly, he didn't back down at all and stepped forward immediately to clarify the matter. (End of Chapter)
