Chapter 162 The Desire to Show Off
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is on September 10th. On that night, Lu Nanting will have a concert at the Bird's Nest, and will then hold four more shows there.

For Lu Nanting, this stop is definitely the most important one in this world tour.

Now that their relationship is public, and the first event coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Lanxi will undoubtedly be there to accompany them.

Since the family had already had two gatherings, no reunion dinner was planned for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because there was a night shoot on the 11th, she had to leave for the film set early in the morning. So, the only day the two of them could stay home and spend time together was the 9th.

"It's rare for everyone to be home, so it feels really nice to cuddle up and chat like this."

That evening, after seeing off the relatives and then the family, the young couple returned to their bedroom, washed up, lay in bed, and began to talk.

It's not that I don't want to do something else, it's just that Gu Lanxi started her period in the late afternoon, so I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to.

Hearing him try to comfort himself, Gu Lanxi poked his stomach and couldn't help but laugh:

"Yeah, I don't have to get up early tomorrow, I can sleep in until I naturally wake up, just thinking about it makes me so happy~"

"Luckily, I made a decisive decision this morning..."

"Let's change the subject quickly."

Gu Lanxi was a little tired, and since she couldn't do anything else, she decided to go to bed early.

The two of them had been sitting against the headboard, but seeing her shrink back, Lu Nanting pulled the thin blanket over her before patting her back and whispering:
"Okay, you go to sleep first. I need to learn how to calculate my period. I've really suffered from not having any common sense."

He was overjoyed at the thought of spending four days in the same city, but then his merciless period came, and he was heartbroken.

How do you describe this feeling?

It's like setting aside three hours specifically to go to a restaurant you've been looking forward to for a long time, only to find that the restaurant has caught fire right after you've had your appetizers, the kitchen is on fire, and you can't eat the rest of the dishes!

It's not that menstruation is as unpredictable as a fire, but he hadn't expected to encounter something like this beforehand, and it felt like a bolt from the blue!
Hearing him say that, Gu Lanxi immediately perked up:

"I remember you used to bring me brown sugar water every time those days came around. Why don't you remember that now?"

"It's been too long, I've forgotten. I'm such a bad student; if I don't use what I've learned for too long, I'll have to forget it all!"

Lu Nanting spoke with great confidence, but as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.

"pull!"

"real!"

"Didn't you say you would remember everything about me very clearly?"

With that, Gu Lanxi turned her back to him, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

"Hey? Why are you angry! I got dumped back then! For two whole years and seven months, I was single. If I could accurately predict your menstrual cycle, how crazy would I be? Besides, this isn't static; I need the latest data, like last month..."

"Stop talking, I want to sleep."

As he said this, he silently turned back.

Lu Nanting was amused by her and didn't hold it against her.

I downloaded an app and started recording data while asking her, "What's the cycle again, how many days is it?"

Gu Lanxi ignored him, but picked up her phone and shared her memo with him.

"Don't download random apps."

Gu Lanxi doesn't like to expose her personal privacy; she records these things herself.

If you keep records for a long time, you'll have a general idea of ​​when the next one will be.

After sharing, she pressed the button on her phone and put it back on the bedside table.

Lu Nanting opened the app and hummed in response, but instead of uninstalling it, he stared wide-eyed and opened another screen to look at it.

Back in high school, his combined science grades were terrible, so he naturally didn't do well in biology.

He was able to get into university entirely thanks to Gu Lanxi's tutoring.

Now that I graduated from high school so many years ago, I've forgotten everything.

I never imagined I'd have to learn these things on my own initiative.

Gu Lanxi waited for a while, but he didn't speak. Since she wasn't particularly sleepy, she asked him, "What are you looking at?"

"Follicular development, mitosis, meiosis, menstrual cycle..."

Why are you looking at this?

"What can a married man do with this? How to avoid ovulation and prevent accidents that could harm his wife... Wait, I haven't finished reading yet!"

Gu Lanxi sat up abruptly, snatched his phone away nimbly, and then everything went black!
"Why did you download this app? Isn't it for pregnant women? Good heavens! If someone takes a picture of your phone, you'll be in deep trouble!"

"What's there to defend? Our relationship is stable, and we're not childless by choice. Trying to conceive is inevitable. I'm not the brightest, but if I study for a few more years, I'll be able to grasp these complex concepts more firmly in the future. Maybe I can even open up new avenues and get more endorsements!"

Since reading Gu Lanxi's replies this afternoon, he has been paying extra attention to earning money to support his family.

Previously, he only felt that having too many endorsements made his life inconvenient, because he couldn't use similar competing products, and he had to be extra careful about his food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Now, however, he can't help but think that the endorsements he couldn't take when he was single are now available to him, giving him more opportunities to earn money.

"What's wrong with you being stupid? It's just that you care about different things. Don't always say things like that, it puts pressure on me."

It seems perfectly reasonable for married men to be concerned about this issue.

She might even get a few compliments. Gu Lanxi thought what he said made sense, so she handed the phone back to him and lay back down.

"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, isn't that what you said? I'm not insecure, so why are you feeling pressured?"

“I wonder if I’m working too hard and making you feel insecure.”

"I've always felt a sense of crisis, okay? There are so many smart and elite men around you, any one of them would be a golden catch in every mother's eyes..."

"stop!"

Gu Lanxi was speechless: "I wouldn't like someone similar to me, understand?"

So you just like me because I'm stupid?

"No, it's your sincerity, your pure heart, you understand? You always know what you want, and you pursue it with unwavering determination, never caring about what others think. You have a strong inner strength, which makes me feel very safe..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed the person next to him trembling uncontrollably. He looked up and saw him covering his mouth, struggling to hold back his laughter.

Gu Lanxi immediately shut up and turned her back to him again.

"Hey, could you say a few more words?"

"Did not say."

"Say it! It's so rare to hear you say something like that. I have to record it and listen to it over and over again."

"You just recorded it?"

"I didn't react in time, that's why I let you say a few more words~"

"After hearing it so many times, it becomes less special."

"No wonder you're unmoved no matter what I say. You've heard it so many times that your immunity has built up?"

"Don't be unreasonable."

"It does seem to be a little bit."

Lu Nanting didn't say anything after that.

Seeing that Gu Lanxi was half asleep, he whispered to her, "Where did you save all the photos you took of me? Look at those little dragonflies, they're all cursing you. You took up a good spot but didn't produce any content. You're the most selfish Gunslinger in history."

Gu Lanxi opened her eyes instantly: "Speak, what do you want now?"

"I just want to see what I look like from my girlfriend's perspective?"

"No, it's from the ex-girlfriend's perspective."

"Sigh, I don't like hearing that either."

"Let's make this clear first, you're not allowed to send it out secretly."

"We only do this occasionally. If we're short on materials, I'll buy them from you."

"Sure, how much is one?"

"Five, five cents?"

"Do not sell!"

Lu Nanting was still wondering if she had saved it to a cloud drive when he saw her get out of bed and walk towards the door.

Having learned his lesson from not recording earlier, Lu Nanting immediately turned on his phone to record and followed them.

The study was next door. Gu Lanxi pushed open the door, walked to the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, and opened all six doors.

"At the very top, do you see them? All of them, 168 photo albums with orange-red covers. Look at them if you want! But be careful, there's a card slot on the cover with a CD burned on it, don't tear it."

Besides creating photo albums from the photos, she also saved high-definition versions of the videos.

Both Gu Yongxin and her husband are designers, and they hid many romantic touches when designing the house.

For example, this luxurious study is located in the circular tower on the east side of the villa.

Because the garden's tool shed is downstairs, and although the study entrance is on the second floor, it is sunken by more than a meter to the first floor, so the total ceiling height is exactly 5.2 meters.

The bookshelf reaches the ceiling, and you need a ladder to reach the top.

When he moved, Lu Nanting didn't notice these booklets. He wasn't a book lover, so this was the first time he'd ever discovered these things hidden in his house since he moved in.

I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak!
Gu Lanxi didn't hear him speak. When she turned around, she saw him frozen in place, holding up his phone and taking pictures.

He was immediately terrified, covered his chest with his hands, and slipped out as fast as he could.

After everyone had run far away, I remembered to yell at him, "If you post those videos again, you're dead!"

At 9:08 PM, the fans, exhausted from a long day, were browsing online.

Suddenly, I paid special attention and posted on Weibo.

Upon closer inspection, there were no accompanying pictures or links, just a single, solitary sentence:

At this moment, the urge to show off reaches its peak.

Fans were dumbfounded: So bro, what exactly are you trying to show off?! Just post it already!!!
