The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 165 Armor Hero
"What exactly did they film?"

The two older brothers were so excited in the back seat that they couldn't drive the excavator properly. When they saw a temporary parking space ahead, they quickly stopped the vehicle.

"Look at his demeanor. Before and after marriage, one of him was arrogant as if he was going to destroy the world, while the other smiled warmly and was full of love for the world. Looking at his photos before his debut, wasn't he like that too, so warm? Back then, he still had baby fat on his face."

The tropical fish busily pointed out the photos to its younger brother.

Then they asked if the video was edited yet.

While editing the video, Xigua laughed: "So, Lu Nanting's state largely depends on his relationship status. I must say, even I, a grown man in my forties, can't help but laugh. It's perfectly normal for those young people to be so lovey-dovey all the time."

"Now that they've gone public, any photos taken of them in the future, unless there's something like infidelity, will most likely be unsellable. They'll only be able to gain followers by being leaked."

The tropical fish sighed; it seemed its focus would have to shift.

Because the account "Hot Melon Excavator" already has over nine million followers, it's no longer in the early stages of building a new account that needs a lot of traffic.

Having followed Lu Nanting for several years, it's quite hard to suddenly switch to a different person to follow. After all, in the entire entertainment industry, there are very few people who are generous with their money, buy material, and never seek revenge.

"Let Xiaojun handle it later. They have a lot of fans who ship them as a couple. They can shoot more material and make a lot of money selling albums. There's also no legal risk involved."

"Let's have a family meeting tonight to discuss this properly. Let's upload the video first! Send this comparison photo to Xiaoxi and ask her to make a video and post it on Douyin as soon as possible. Her account has been gaining a lot of followers recently, but the Lanting CP is too popular. If she wants to stand out and become a big fan leader, she needs to be well-informed."

The three brothers finished their business as quickly as possible, drove into a small alley, went into a small restaurant, and started ordering food.

It was lunchtime, and Hua Shiyu was queuing in the cafeteria, preparing to eat with her roommate.

My roommate used to be a fan of Gu Lanxi. We each had our own fandom, respected each other, and seemed to be doing well. But after a summer vacation, when we returned to school, we were both wearing slippers.

With their pace in sync, the roommates instantly became star-chasing buddies, their friendship blossomed overnight, and campus life felt a million times better.

The two were standing there with their eyes slightly closed, so sleepy they wanted to lie down on the spot, when Hua Shiyu's phone rang. It was a Weibo post from "Hot Melon Excavator," a account she was following closely.

I quickly grabbed an earphone and put it in my roommate's ear before I started the video.

I didn't expect that while I was still wondering what that Weibo post meant last night, the person in question responded today.

"Holy crap, no comment? That's how you get rid of us?"

Lu Nanting's roommate, Yuanbao Slippers, inevitably showed a bit more of her family's criticism towards her.

Seeing her eyes widen in surprise, Hua Shiyu quickly put her arm around her shoulder and led her upstairs with a smile.

"Come on, let me treat you to some stir-fry. Don't get so angry."

"I'm so angry! I argued with a poisonous moth until the wee hours last night, and now I see this again! Seriously!"

My roommate is genuinely curious about what her son Xibao has done this time that has driven her crazy late at night, posting those kinds of Weibo posts!
"It's probably just the couple's little fun, the kind that's hard to put into words, so I'll try to understand. Besides, look at him, all clean and fresh without makeup, giving me such a sweet smile~ I haven't seen him smile like that in a long time."

"How long has it been? Didn't you smile sweetly at the Weibo Movie Night?"

"That's been a long time, okay? Besides, he used to never give paparazzi a friendly look, but now he's actually taking the initiative to invite them to dinner. Just think about how Mrs. Lu used to give the paparazzi red envelopes, hahaha! It's so funny!"

"So he was never ignorant of social etiquette, he was just too lazy to deal with it."

"I seriously suspect that this guy went out on purpose not to buy scallions, but to show off that his wife cooked for him at home!"

Hua Shiyu dragged the progress bar and watched the video over and over again. It wasn't very long, but she managed to glean a lot from it.

Seeing her laugh, her roommate couldn't help but laugh along.
"Hey, do you think there's any hope for this 'love-struck' mentality?"

"Given his thought process, he'll most likely say," Hua Shiyu deliberately put on a stern face, slightly raised her chin, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Hey! Single humans! Save yourselves first! I'm perfectly fine!"

"You curse!"

"He's the one swearing, so you swear back at him!"

"Hahaha!"

The two ordered food while chatting, and since it was faster upstairs than downstairs, they were able to eat quickly.

“I used to think that Xi Bao was clueless and couldn’t talk, but now I think she just doesn’t talk to anyone else and puts all her effort into your brother.”

Hua Shiyu took a sip of soup, her eyebrows dancing with excitement: "Don't you even know who she is! If I were like her, able to date such a top-tier woman at seventeen, then all the women in this world would only have one name left—those men!"

The two were talking, one scrolling through Weibo and the other through Douyin.

Sure enough, there were new comments under Lu Nanting's Weibo post from last night: "So what kind of fish did my wife cook for lunch today? She wouldn't let me eat it, wouldn't even let me look at it, that's too much!"

We can't just remain silent, can we? Given our relationship.

"Bro, my sister-in-law is such a great cook, shouldn't you show her off? You have to learn to compliment her! Seriously, girls all love to be praised."

[My dear son, hurry up and become a spokesperson for dishwashers and dishwashing salt, otherwise washing dishes every day is really bad for your hands!]

……

The fans were just having their usual self-entertainment, but unexpectedly, after refreshing the page, Lu Nanting actually took a picture and posted it on Weibo:
What did you have for lunch today?

For lunch, the two of them had two dishes and a soup: a tofu and baby bok choy soup, a braised sea bass, a stir-fried lotus root dish, and two small bowls, each containing a bowl of mixed grain rice with corn kernels.

The most amazing thing is that in the upper right corner of the photo, you can see a hand holding chopsticks, a very obvious wedding ring tattoo on the ring finger, and you can also see a floral apron with ruffles.

Gu Lanxi's cooking skills are truly excellent. A simple lunch is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, looking no worse than what you'd find in a restaurant.

Lu Nanting really wanted to show off the three full bookshelves of photo albums in her study, but Gu Lanxi told her that even with the help of friends, the average cost of these handmade collectibles, not counting the gold inlay, was 18,000 yuan each.

Fans are crazy about their idols, and if they do something irrational, it will have a bad impact on him, so Lu Nanting held back.

But he just couldn't suppress his desire to show off.

Helpless, Gu Lanxi had no choice but to agree to let him show off his lunch today.

Afraid of being criticized, she pays special attention when cooking, trying to make the dishes look nice and being very particular about the combination of ingredients.

"Are you done sending them? Hurry up and eat!"

Lu Nanting covered his face, laughing so hard his cheeks turned bright red: "Look at these comments, I'm dying of laughter!"

"What comment?"

Lu Nanting then handed over his phone.

The comments section was filled with people sharing their lunches, but the top comment read: "We ate dog food for lunch today!"

"That's outrageous! It's only been a dozen minutes and it already has over two thousand likes? Did you hire an army of online trolls?"

Gu Lanxi was very surprised!

Lu Nanting rolled his eyes: "Let's eat!"

Others don’t know, so doesn’t she know?

Why would a man earning 20,000 yuan a month hire an online army?
Do you have to pick and choose brands even when buying a bottle of water?

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh: "If you don't cause trouble, I'll raise it back for you."

"Normally there aren't many places to spend money, but if an emergency occurs, there are plenty of ways to handle it."

Gu Lanxi asked curiously, "Don't you feel suffocated by marriage? That kind of feeling of being bound, that makes you feel unfree?"

Lu Nanting's eyes immediately turned dangerous: "You think so?"

Gu Lanxi quickly waved the white flag: "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Quickly, taste it and see if it's salty?"

Lu Nanting snorted, then couldn't help but laugh:
"Then I'll be magnanimous and forgive you. But remember, this is armor I willingly put on; it only gives me a strong sense of security! I don't mind that you're heavy! OK?"

Gu Lanxi bit her chopsticks, trying to suppress a laugh: "Alright, Armor Warrior, are you going to eat or not?"

"eat!"

The methods for urging updates have entered a new era.

The reader group is already discussing how to have AI write the next chapter.

A career crisis suddenly erupted on this terrible noon.

I quickly got up and started typing.

You guys are terrifying!
