The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 243 The sky really fell

In order not to affect the evening activities, Lu Nanting's photoshoot was scheduled for 9:00 AM.

He was always punctual. He slept until eight o'clock, when his phone vibrated slightly. He quickly opened his eyes, turned off the alarm, and quietly got up.

After tucking Gu Lanxi in, he quietly went to wash up, then went out to meet the staff. Once out of the hotel, he led them straight to the filming location.

Gu Lanxi is a sleepyhead. She went to bed so late last night and then encountered the distressing situation of her phone number being leaked. She had originally planned to go with him, but by this morning she couldn't get up at all.

When she woke up naturally, she got out of bed and touched the blankets beside her; they were cold.

The person had already left, leaving only a faint scent of woody perfume.

I looked at the time and it was almost eleven o'clock.

I stretched and rolled around a lot before finally getting out of bed.

I sent a message to Lu Nanting, but he didn't reply.

I called Xiao Chen, but he was busy, so I didn't bother him.

Contact Xiao Jiang, and the police reported that most of the suspects had been apprehended, but the ringleader fled in the middle of the night after receiving the news and was only caught after 10 p.m.

We'll have to wait for the results of the investigation.

Gu Lanxi didn't dwell on it. She logged into WeChat and, while brushing her teeth, sent new numbers to people she was close to.

The news of her phone number being leaked last night has been widely circulated, and most people who frequently use the internet know about it. However, Gu Lanxi's social circle is quite complex, with many people being "real-life" types who are focused on practical matters, so she was quite surprised to receive the news.

These days, everything needs to be linked to a mobile phone number, and changing your number is such a hassle.

Gu Lanxi had no choice but to explain what had happened.

When she finished her work, she checked the time and it was almost midnight.

Just as I was about to call Sister Mei, the doorbell rang.

As soon as the door opened, Sister Mei pushed in a single-pole portable coat rack with several evening gowns hanging on it.

This was agreed upon long ago, and it's all her measurements, but no one can guarantee whether she's gained or lost weight in the last few days.

"Try it first. If the size is not right, we need to have Xiao Song make some minor adjustments as soon as possible."

Xiao Song is an employee of the studio. She is responsible for Gu Lanxi's daily clothing and outfits, as well as minor adjustments.

Gu Lanxi nodded, and then Zhuang Xiaotong pushed the food cart in.

"Teacher Lu hasn't finished with her work yet, so she called specifically to tell me to keep an eye on your meals and make sure you don't go hungry."

I received the call halfway back from picking up the food, but she didn't mention it at all, only teasing me with a smile.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Lanxi's face as she softly replied, "Mm."

I overslept for breakfast and I'm really hungry now.

"Try on the dress before you eat, don't stuff your stomach, it won't look good later."

Gu Lanxi agreed, took the dress, and led Xiao Song to the dressing room.

After changing them one by one, one of the waistlines was a little loose, so Xiao Song quickly took out her needle and thread and started fixing it on the spot.

"Did you bring all the cosmetics Yu Xin needs?"

"Sister Mei, I've checked it three times!"

Gu Lanxi used to go to an outside styling studio every time she walked the red carpet.

However, given the previous incident where the couple argued during a styling session and the news got out, Gu Lanxi is now preparing to try trusting her team.

Since joining Gu Lanxi's studio, Yu Xin had only done her work makeup before, and this was the first time she had done her red carpet styling. She was quite excited.

We're using our own people; the styling will be done at the hotel today.

She can stay there comfortably.

When I came out after trying on the dress, the food had already been taken out and placed on the dining table.

"What kind of meal is this?"

"Putian taro rice, with dried scallops, dried shrimp, pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, and baby bok choy."

"Pork belly?"

"Just a little bit, just so you can have a taste."

"It looks very filling."

"The dress makes my belly show, so I can't eat dinner, but I can eat until I'm 80% full at noon."

Besides taro rice, there were also two pieces of steamed eel and a bowl of rock olive duck soup.

"This stuff helps to clear phlegm, stop coughs, clear heat, and nourish yin; it's very good to eat."

"what?"

Gu Lanxi prepared lunch separately. When she mentioned it, Zhuang Xiaotong became curious and came over.

"Stone olive".

Gu Lanxi picked it up with her chopsticks and showed it to her. After she looked at it, she asked curiously:
"You don't use this for making soup?"

"My family rarely makes soup. We only make mutton soup in winter."

Both assistants, like Aunt Wang, had been with her for several years, and their daily chats were quite casual.

Aunt Wang took Lili home to drop off her luggage and pick up her autumn clothes, leaving Zhuang Xiaotong as the only "old-timer" there.

While the two of them were talking, no one else, including Mei Xue, interrupted.

Seeing Gu Lanxi sit down, Zhuang Xiaotong handed her chopsticks.

"Have you eaten?"

Before starting, Gu Lanxi asked the staff.

"I've eaten everything. There are many special breakfast options in the morning. One chef is really good at making Guobianhu (a type of rice noodle soup), which I've never seen anywhere else. There's also Runbing (a type of spring roll), which is also very delicious."

Gu Lanxi had been here two or three times and had tried many local specialties, but in such a big place with so many delicious foods, there were bound to be some she hadn't tried yet. Besides, she was always here to walk the red carpet, so she couldn't really eat and drink to her heart's content. Hearing them talk about it, she was quite curious about what it tasted like.

"We'll have a late-night snack when we get back tonight. If you want some, I'll go ahead and ask the chef to stay for us."

"No need. Making people work overtime every day is so annoying!"

The others laughed: "If we make you work overtime, everyone will laugh."

Because she never withholds money from her salary.

Gu Lanxi just smiled and didn't say anything.

Everyone was busy preparing for the evening, but they couldn't help but glance at her out of the corner of their eyes.

She ate at the table without looking at her phone, focusing intently on her bowl and chopsticks, chewing slowly and carefully, savoring each bite.

That's quite rare.

Young people these days are always glued to their phones, even while eating or walking.

Moreover, Gu Lanxi has another good point: she rarely gets too clingy with her partner.

No matter how sweet a couple is, if they're always on the phone talking about trivial things, the staff will get tired of it after a while.

But she never does that.

As long as she knows where Lu Nanting went, and as long as he explains it to her clearly, she won't repeatedly confirm or be suspicious.

Even if it's something private, they'll deliberately avoid talking to people.

It's very comfortable to be around them.

For example, now that she knows Lu Nanting won't be coming back, she doesn't ask any more questions.

Too many people knew their phone numbers, and countless others, like Qiao Yu, discovered the alternate number.

But everyone just pretends they've discovered a treasure, secretly saving and looking at it. If the relationship isn't close enough, they won't even share a screenshot.

So the flame remained wrapped in paper until it walked the red carpet and entered the inner area in the afternoon.

Although the two did not walk the red carpet together, they were seated together.

Gu Lanxi came in first and greeted the senior sitting in the front row with a smile, seeing that she had worked with him before.

Having not seen each other for a long time, and being acquaintances, the two inevitably exchanged a few pleasantries.

The actor's surname is Liang, his given name is Liang Kang, and he has won several Best Actor awards.

This person has a great work attitude, excellent professional skills, and a clean private life. He is a rare senior in the industry whom Gu Lanxi genuinely respects.

Since the topic had come up, Liang Kang couldn't help but ask her for her phone number.

"Did you get a new number? I'd like to save it."

I sent you a WeChat message this morning, but I was probably too busy and haven't seen it yet.

Liang Kang then took out his phone.

Just as I was saving the number, Lu Nanting strode over with an incredibly cool gait and a cold expression.

But as soon as he entered, he saw his wife having a "pleasant conversation" with a man.

Liang Kang saved the phone number, looked up, and saw him walking towards him, his eyes fixed on him. He couldn't help but find it amusing.
"You've been talking behind my back about me being an old man, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're still stalking me?!"

Gu Lanxi looked bewildered and turned to look at Lu Nanting.

Lu Nanting couldn't recall when the cricket had chirped at him, and that the news had reached his ears, so he naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Senior is joking."

Liang Kang was broad-minded and not the petty type, but he was still a little angry when he heard this:

"A real man does what he did, and I understand why you're denying it."

Before Lu Nanting could argue, he opened his phone, found the Douyin video he had saved before, and showed it to him.

Upon seeing what it was, Lu Nanting felt as if the sky had fallen, his eyes darting around in a panic, and he unconsciously turned to Gu Lanxi.

That expression was completely uncontrollable.

Gu Lanxi didn't know about this alternate account!
It rained last night.

As I passed by the magnolia tree, I turned around in surprise to see the pure white petals scattered all over the ground.

It turned from white to brown and rotted in the mud.

The word "荼蘼" (tu mi) came to mind.

When the last bloom of the roses fades and the season is over, a strange sense of loneliness wells up in my heart.

I suddenly became curious: what does this word actually mean?
It turns out that this is the name of a flower.

It belongs to the Rosaceae family, the Rubus genus, and is related to raspberries.

The last flower, not vying for spring's favor, blooms in solitude, the latest of all.

It is the last flower to bloom in spring; when it withers, it means that spring is about to end.

Understanding the reason, all the loneliness, desolation, and reluctance in my heart vanished completely.

Because after spring, I will welcome an equally beautiful summer.

Lovers need focus, but flowers don't.

I can be a philanthropist without any burden.

Even though the magnolias have faded, I will still have summer lotus and roses.

Furthermore, fallen petals are not heartless things; they turn into spring mud to nourish the flowers.

We'll see each other again next year, won't we?
