The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 331 is too bizarre.
Gu Lanxi came downstairs, and Lu Tai, having finished applying a face mask, was there with the donkey-hide gelatin that her aunt had prepared.

The sealed pieces of donkey-hide gelatin are packaged in custom-made gift boxes and will be given as New Year's Day gifts to relatives and friends.

Because the quantity was limited, only those families with very close relationships could receive them, aside from those keeping them for themselves.

Seeing Gu Lanxi rushing downstairs in her pajamas, Mrs. Lu asked her, "Why are you in such a hurry? What are you looking for?"

"Find a national flag, climb the mountain tomorrow, and take a picture at the top."

Mrs. Lu has three sons and three daughters-in-law. Each child has their own hobbies, and she never interferes with how the children spend their weekends.

She simply doesn't understand:

"Climbing a mountain is already tiring enough, but carrying a flag on your back makes it even more tiring, doesn't it?"

"It's about the sense of ritual! I see it, I conquer it, that feeling, Mom, you don't understand."

Although she didn't quite understand her thoughts, Mrs. Lu still expressed her respect.

He gave an OK sign, signaling the women to continue their work, and personally led her downstairs to the warehouse.

"Chenchen's school organized an autumn outing a while ago. Since we had monthly exams coming up, we didn't go out of town. Everyone was given a national flag, the kind with a collapsible pole. The flags are made of silk, brightly colored, and of good quality. They're also lightweight. They fell over here, so I've put them away. You can use them for now, and I'll buy him the same one later."

"That's great, otherwise I would have to go back to my place to look for it. I moved and I don't know where I put it. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a while."

Gu Lanxi took the bag handed to her by Lu Tai, untied the drawstring, took out the flag, and unfolded it to look at it.

While watching, he muttered to himself, "The last time I went hiking was on set. There were mountains all over there, stretching as far as the eye could see."

"You like hiking?"

Most people would post three updates on social media just for going to the park, let alone hiking. Gu Lanxi doesn't have the habit of sharing her private life, so Mrs. Lu really doesn't know what she likes to do in private.

"Yeah, there are fewer people in the wild, so it's more free. Going to crowded places is like being a thief. You have to wear a mask, sunglasses, and a big hat. If you have super fans, you might be recognized even if you only show a fingernail."

Although her fans aren't crazy, and even if they recognize her, they'll at most ask for an autograph or a photo, she still doesn't like the feeling of her private life being disturbed.

"That's true. Where are we going tomorrow? Do you need a driver to pick us up and drop us off?"

"I know a team leader I'm familiar with. He chartered a bus for me to pick me up and drop me off. I just asked the driver to take me to the meeting point. When I came back in the evening, Brother Ting said he would come to pick me up."

"That's fine, you can arrange it yourself."

"Silk is delicate, and creases are hard to erase, so don't put heavy things on it."

Gu Lanxi nodded, put away the national flag, and checked the telescopic rod again. Seeing that the length was sufficient, she was very pleased.
"This is good. Is it 1.44 meters tall? Not too small, not too big. When the wind blows, the flag will unfurl and look great in photos."

"I didn't notice, let me find a ruler to measure it?"

"No need, there are only five sizes, you can tell at a glance. Speaking of which, the first time I went hiking, I brought a cotton flag, the kind that's 2.88 meters long and weighs more than two kilograms. When I got to the top of the mountain, I took out the flag, and everyone burst out laughing. Then everyone tore off a corner, and the group photo looked really impressive!"

Mrs. Lu found it amusing: "Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired at all. That time I hiked the Xiangbala Trail, from the Xiangshan Post Office to the Badachu Park. I took photos at the Hero's Slope. At the time, I thought that slope was very difficult to climb, but now I think it was just a beginner's level."

Seeing her talking non-stop, like a child about to go on a spring outing, Mrs. Lu knew she was looking forward to tomorrow's itinerary, so she didn't interrupt her. She waited until she finished speaking before asking her if she had packed enough things.

Gu Lanxi said she had brought enough, and then took the red flag and went upstairs.

Mrs. Lu wanted to ask her where she was going tomorrow, but she didn't have a chance.

When Gu Lanxi returned to her room, she saw Lu Nanting scrolling through his phone with a serious expression, wondering why he had scared himself.

After putting my things away and checking everything I needed to bring tomorrow, I finally lay down.

"I'll take your picture tomorrow, and that will be equivalent to you having been there."

Lu Nanting didn't reply, but asked her with a serious expression, "You really went to Phoenix Ridge?"

Gu Lanxi then took out her phone and showed him the cloud storage.

She has several cloud storage services, one of which is specifically for storing these kinds of things.

"I have to get up early tomorrow, remember to give me a boost after you finish reading."

After saying that, he went straight to sleep.

Lu Nanting took it and read it silently.

Large folder, featuring activities like mountain climbing, bird hunting, skateboarding, skiing, diving, rock climbing, Wing Chun, and Six-and-a-Half Point Stick...

Clicking on them one by one, categorizing them by time, reveals rows and rows of folders.

She basically starts with the easy parts and then gradually improves.

Just like when she learns foreign languages, she never forgets anything she learns. Her efficiency drives her teachers to the brink of collapse.

During filming, I would skateboard or go on short trips when I had free time. When I was at home, I only worked five days a week and would go out every weekend without fail.

Sometimes hiking can be combined with birdwatching. Carrying such a heavy camera, walking and shooting all the way, it takes extraordinary perseverance.

Gu Lanxi has always been able to endure what ordinary people cannot, and she is also very strong-willed. It's not surprising that she has lived her life this way.

Gu Lanxi was indeed frank; she would answer any questions he asked.

It's incredible how contradictory a person can be!
Despite enjoying recording things so much, even if she remembers them clearly, she still likes to mark the date and record them carefully.

But she really doesn't like to share.

There was so much stuff that even a cursory glance took Lu Nanting several hours.

At the end, I also found a folder named Rubik's Cube.

There aren't that many records, but there are some that she seems to be very satisfied with.

A tiny 3x3 Rubik's Cube, held in my hand and examined closely, can be solved in the blink of an eye.

It's just a small toy, but it inexplicably makes people's hearts surge with excitement.

Fourth-order, fifth-order... As she worked on increasingly higher-order cubes, she was no longer content with simply solving them and began to explore new possibilities. As she turned the Rubik's Cube, different colored blocks moved repeatedly, eventually revealing different patterns.

From learning to spell out hearts at the beginning of the semester, to spelling out his name, to spelling out the Double Happiness symbol, and finally, his photo and name together...

Although it was somewhat rough due to the limitations of "pixels", Lu Nanting recognized it at a glance.

He wanted to hear what Gu Lanxi said in the videos, so he plugged in his headphones and played the audio. In each video, she didn't speak, only breathing softly.

However, Lu Nanting noticed that several videos were recorded late at night.

She suffered from insomnia, but her emotions remained stable. She didn't cry or talk to herself. She tried hard to regulate her emotions and used this to pass the time.

Lu Nanting rubbed his eyes and quietly got out of bed.

My phone is out of battery, I'll take it to charge.

He didn't sleep a wink that night.

It was as if in a sudden moment I understood why Gu Lanxi liked these things and would try them.

When everything is easy for her, she might feel that life is meaningless.

She is constantly searching for a new meaning to living.

There are no parents or family members to be filial to, nor are there any goals that must be achieved. Last year, I even prepared myself to grow old alone...

Gu Lanxi was sleeping soundly. She never expected that just playing with a Rubik's Cube would have such a powerful effect on Lu Nanting.

At 5:30 in the morning, as soon as the alarm clock rang, she got up.

But he didn't find anyone nearby.

After quickly washing up, I grabbed my bag and went downstairs, only to find the kitchen light on.

Lu Nanting, sporting huge panda eyes, came out carrying a plate of boiled eggs.

"Come on, eat your fill before you go. I've prepared chocolate and glucose for you, and I've also packed two eggs. What time is the meeting time this afternoon? I'll pick you up then."

Gu Lanxi was startled, her eyes widened, and she took a step back before cautiously asking him, "What's wrong?"

Lu Nanting simply hugged her and patted her head.

"Do whatever you like, follow your heart!"

"what happened to you?"

Gu Lanxi raised her voice.

This is too abnormal!

"nothing."

Seeing that she took her bag off and put it on the ground, even though she had been looking forward to today's trip yesterday, she immediately put the bag down when she noticed that he was in a bad mood.

Lu Nanting felt a lump in his throat.

"It's okay, I just feel so sorry for you, so very sorry for you."

Gu Lanxi suppressed a laugh: "What are you thinking about now? I have everything I want. If I still need you to feel sorry for me, then there are too many pitiful people in this world."

"I guess this is what you call favoritism! Come and eat, I'll make you some noodles."

Gu Lanxi looked at him and eventually sat down obediently.

What's wrong with you?

Silently recalling what was in her cloud drive, Gu Lanxi was relieved she hadn't scratched her head in frustration.

Clearly, she didn't believe Lu Nanting's so-called heartache.

This isn't how you feel heartache.

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have kept thinking about it, and I might have gotten distracted while hiking…”

"Do you always play with the Rubik's Cube late at night because you have insomnia?"

Are you... missing me?
Thinking about our bleak future, I can't sleep at night.

He didn't say it aloud, but Gu Lanxi could guess what he was thinking just from hearing that one sentence.

I was speechless.

“Back then, we often filmed night scenes, and it was boring waiting for our scenes to be filmed. Playing this was a good way to stay awake.”

Lu Nanting: "..."

Lu Nanting took a deep breath and discovered the flaw: "Impossible, you couldn't have pieced together my photo and name on set!"

"Please, I'm the female lead, I have my own dressing room, okay?!"

Behind closed doors, who knows what she risked her life for?
Lu Nanting: "..."

Suddenly I just wanted to pack up my bedding and leave.
