The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 114 Warm and Cozy

"I'm so tired today! I'm so tired that I can't even eat dinner."

Seeing his sincere attitude in admitting his mistakes, Gu Lanxi did not make things difficult for him, let bygones be bygones, and began to complain.

Lu Nanting called directly.

"Are there many scenes to film today? How can you skip meals? People need food to survive; you'll get hungry if you don't eat."

Gu Lanxi sat on the stool, sighed deeply, turned on her phone's speakerphone, placed it on the phone holder on the table, put her legs up on the edge of the bed, picked up the safflower oil next to her, unscrewed the cap, poured some into her palm, rubbed it to warm it, and then rubbed her knees as she replied to him:

"We didn't film a single scene today."

"What did you do today? Why are you so tired?"

Lu Nanting knew her personality very well. She always swallowed her bitterness and carried her burdens alone. If such a person suddenly started complaining, it must be because she was really suffering.

Gu Lanxi did not answer, but instead asked him:
What are you doing? Taking a shower?

But then they heard the sound of water.

"what are you thinking!"

Lu Nanting was worried! Hearing the wariness in her words, he was speechless.

"I'm not some kind of Daji, even if I wanted to seduce someone, I couldn't do it from morning till night!"

"Hey, don't blame me, it's just that you did too many crazy things!"

Sending her selfies that make him look incredibly handsome, like a daily routine, is one thing, but occasionally sending her close-ups of his abs or Adam's apple would definitely get him banned online as a borderline blogger.

Lu Nanting suppressed a laugh:
"I'm being serious today, so don't worry, chat with me a little longer."

"Tell me, how serious can you be?"

"I'm hand-washing your underwear and socks for you. By the way, I bought flesh-colored stockings. Can I wash them? Will they deform if I wash them?"

Gu Lanxi had just seen the Weibo post and knew that he had bought these things, and also knew that he had explained why he did so on the show. She felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Is this the kind I like to wear? Is the size correct?"

"Yes, I happened to pass by and saw that the store was the one you often wear, so I went in and bought it. The size should be right, right? I looked at your wardrobe and know your size."

Gu Lanxi patiently massaged one leg, then switched to the other.

Because the phone was too far away from her side, she moved the phone stand a bit.

Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?

“When I bought you sanitary napkins before, I was younger and more shy. Now that I'm older, I'm more shameless. I even carefully picked out the style, which I'm sure you'll like. I won't tell you now, you'll find out when you get back.”

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh.

"You still remember?"

"I remember everything that concerns you."

"Oh, what a coincidence! I remember everything about you too."

"I do not believe."

"Then test me."

"At last year's Weibo Music Awards, I won three trophies. What did I say in my acceptance speech?"

You said, "I wish that all my thoughts and desires will come true in the new year."

"Yes, I plan to change my acceptance speech this year."

"Oh? What are you planning to say?"

Compared to Lu Nanting's versatility, Gu Lanxi's acceptance speeches were always dry and uninspired.

She didn't have anyone she wanted to thank. She couldn't very well narcissistically thank herself for her efforts on stage, so she would just casually say a few words of blessing and then leave the stage.

For example, "Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful new year."

“I would say that what I’ve been thinking about for years has come true this year, and I have no other desires now.”

Gu Lanxi realized the meaning behind his words and was moved.

“A few years ago I never dared to imagine that your wish would be related to me.”

In matters of the heart, she has never been a confident person.

"Why don't you dare to think about it? I thought you could receive my signal. After all, the way you look when you like someone is different."

"I can definitely feel it, but I can't believe it. After all, you've never said it outright, and I'm afraid I'm just imagining things." "But you haven't said it either!"

“I wanted to say it once, but I misunderstood and thought you had a new girlfriend, so I didn’t say it.”

"Well, I'm glad I was brave this time."

Lu Nanting wrung out the socks in his hands, poured out the water in the basin, and rinsed them with clean water.

The sound was mixed with the sound of water, indistinct and hard to distinguish.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I'm so glad I was brave this time."

It certainly takes courage to board a passenger ship with an expired ticket.

Gu Lanxi felt a pang of sadness. After a moment of silence, she said in a wronged tone:
"The director changed the script today..."

Although she hadn't planned to go into detail about it before, Gu Lanxi suddenly couldn't help herself now that she was emotional.

"In the afternoon, I ran along the mountain road for more than an hour. Either I was too fast, or the tractor was too fast. I wanted to run in one take, and when I reached the top of the mountain, I happened to encounter a tractor passing by. I encountered it twice in a row. It was really difficult because the mountain peaks blocked my view. I couldn't hear the tractor and had no idea when it passed by."

Lu Nanting was stunned to find that even several days after the set visit had ended, there were still so many follow-ups!

"Filming this in one continuous shot?"

"Yeah, that'll create some buzz for the publicity. To boost the box office, I'll have to ride your coattails and become famous."

"What does it matter? I'd love for you to freeload off me every day."

Seeing that he was being inappropriate again, Gu Lanxi sighed and changed the subject: "My legs hurt so much."

At the time, I didn't care about anything else, and now it would be quite difficult to recreate it.

"You need to rub it, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow. Is filming officially starting tomorrow?"

"Yes, it's being massaged right now! The production team specially invited a team from CCTV who makes documentaries to help. You absolutely must see it when the movie is released; the effects will definitely be amazing!"

"Then you'd better do your best and shoot well."

He couldn't see how Gu Lanxi chased after him that day because he was on a tractor. He definitely had to go see the movie when it was released.

After rubbing her legs, Gu Lanxi noticed that there was only a little left in the bottle and couldn't help but sigh.
"My uncle gave me a bottle of safflower oil that was over ten years old last Chinese New Year. It was very effective, but unfortunately it was gone after I finished it."

"I'll call my grandpa later and see if he can find it. If he can, I'll arrange for someone to run the errand."

"No, he might go back to my uncle. I'd rather go find him myself."

Her uncle's martial arts school was very famous. In addition to teaching Wing Chun, he also sold some medicated oils for sprains and bruises.

The Zhang family and the Gu family are only two streets apart, so Lu Nanting's maternal grandfather must know him.

Lu Nanting stopped talking about that and changed the subject: "Your birthday is next month, and then it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a couple of days. Are you going back to your hometown?"

"Why would I go back to my hometown? I usually only go back for Qingming Festival."

She has no attachment to her hometown.

The reason she had to go back for Qingming Festival was simply because her mother only had her as a child, and she always felt something was missing if she didn't offer incense to the grandmother who adopted her.

"That's great! We can spend Mid-Autumn Festival together this year, and then you can come to my concert."

Where is the Mid-Autumn Festival?

"Right here in the Bird's Nest, we can go home to live every day."

"That way, the whole family can have a reunion dinner."

"That's precisely why we made this arrangement."

"Okay. I'm going to go to bed early. There's a big event tomorrow, and I need to be well-rested."

Lu Nanting wrung out the washed underwear one last time, shook it, and hung it up before softly saying, "Goodnight, wife."

Before the call ended, Lu Nanting clearly heard Gu Lanxi kiss him into the receiver.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, and then, without thinking, he kissed the air.

Afterwards, he probably found it funny and covered his face.

What are they doing right now?!
