"Aren't you going to sleep? Aren't you tired?"

After returning from dinner at his second sister-in-law's house, Lu Nanting washed up and was already lying in bed, smelling wonderful, while Gu Lanxi was still buzzing around like a little bee.

Lu Nanting pulled the blanket up, holding it to his cheeks with both hands, revealing only his large, blinking eyes. He spoke in a deep, muffled voice, as if he wanted everyone to know immediately that he was setting a trap: "Sister Xi, come here, I'll show you something good~"

Even his voice was deliberately lowered, making it sound exceptionally magnetic and captivating.

Gu Lanxi suppressed a laugh and glared at him: "Speak properly!"

After that, they went back to doing what they were doing and completely ignored him.

Lu Nanting lay there sulking for a while, but when she saw that she had found her hiking backpack, she immediately sat up: "Didn't you say that you were going to stay at home and relax this weekend? Are you going hiking again?"

"I've been stuck at home all day, and my bones are starting to feel rusty. Tomorrow the weather will be sunny, and the uncles and aunties in the group are organizing a mountain hike, so I can make it just in time."

While stillness has its own beauty, movement also brings its own joy.

Gu Lanxi has always loved sports. She had been sitting by the lake for most of the day, which was her limit. She had to go outdoors and get close to nature tomorrow, otherwise she would feel like she had wasted the whole weekend.

I was torn between horseback riding and rock climbing, but on my way home I saw a group chat inviting people to go hiking, so I immediately signed up.

"Aren't you supposed to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow we'll mainly be picking up trash. We won't be going very fast, and we won't be taking any difficult routes, so it won't be a problem."

"Where to go?"

"Northern Spirit Mountain".

Fearing he might not understand, Gu Lanxi specially explained: "It's a very popular hiking route, and there's a lot of trash along the way. In winter, when the leaves have all fallen, the trash is easier to spot, making it perfect for a cleanup operation."

"Oh."

With his wife about to leave home for several days, Lu Nanting took a nice bath and lay in bed early, his intentions obvious.

Then, just like a bolt from the blue, it happened.

She stopped trying to be cute, wrapped herself in the blanket, turned over, and started pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed.

Gu Lanxi gently pushed his back: "Why are you angry? When you're not so busy with work, I'll take you with me."

Lu Nanting was speechless. It seemed that all her flirtatious glances were being directed at a blind man.

He sighed deeply and agreed, "Okay, don't forget."

"When have I ever forgotten something I promised you?"

Gu Lanxi got up and went to the study to find a compass.

The compass I brought broke when I went hiking last time, but luckily it was a buy-three-get-one-free deal, so I had a spare at home.

Helpless, Lu Nanting had no choice but to get up and help her pack her things.

"Go ask Aunt Wang for a snakeskin bag, a big one, and then ask her to find my long-handled fire tongs, the kind with green rubber handles, they're easy to use and relatively light."

Lu Nanting actually went downstairs and asked Aunt Wang to find it for her.

Those fire tongs are indeed very useful.

Lu Nanting walked and tugged at the metal tongs, which made a "ch-ch-ch" sound.

When he entered, Gu Lanxi was adjusting her GPS watch.

“An uncle recommended this new model to me the other day. It has super long standby time, accurate positioning, and an SOS function. If I encounter danger, I can call you for help with one click.” Lu Nanting knew that she always set him as her emergency contact, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

But he was stubborn and wouldn't back down, even though he was secretly thrilled.

"Hmph, you've thought of that quite thoroughly."

Gu Lanxi blinked her clear, large eyes and looked at him gently:
"I enjoy having fun, but I don't want you to worry too much about me. So I'll make all the preparations I can, to the best of my ability. The less you worry, the less guilty I'll feel."

Gu Lanxi picked up the sealed medicine, checked the iodine swabs and bandages, and put them into her bag after confirming that everything was in order.

After packing my bag, I lifted it up and found the weight to be manageable, so I went downstairs to grab an apple and stuffed it inside.

Lu Nanting laughed at her, saying she was like a child going on a spring outing, and Gu Lanxi didn't refute it.

The next morning, when Lu Nanting got up, the bed beside him was already cold.

Gu Lanxi had already arrived at the mountain and sent him photos of the sunrise, and even a video of the moment the sun rose.

Today, Gu Lanxi was going to pick up trash. She didn't bring her camera; besides the essential supplies, she only brought the smallest national flag.

The phone's camera doesn't have the same pixel count as her professional-grade camera, but it's still one of the best on the market.

The distant mountains are faintly blue, their varying shades resembling an ink painting. A red sun leaps out, stirring a strange sense of emotion within me.

After reading this, Lu Nanting's mood improved even before he finished his breakfast.

Respecting your partner's hobbies isn't actually that difficult.

Even though he's disrespectful, Gu the Stubborn Donkey won't care...

As Lu Nanting got into the car and headed to his studio, he heard Xiao Jiang mention it and remembered the variety show Gu Lanxi had attended for him before, which was premiering this weekend, so he asked her a few more questions.

"The response has been exceptionally positive. The hashtag 'Please have her appear on more variety shows' even reached second place on the trending topics list last night."

Recently, a senior figure in the industry was caught using drugs that they shouldn't have, which has drawn nationwide condemnation and dominated the trending topics for several days. It's truly remarkable that they were able to reach the second spot on the trending topics list under such circumstances!

Gu Lanxi is extremely competitive and has excellent athletic ability. She is exceptionally good at both games and competitions. In addition, she doesn't like to create a persona and is very down-to-earth in her words and deeds. Compared with those perfect celebrities, she is like a living person mixed in with a bunch of dolls, which maximizes the variety show effect and makes the audience love to watch.

Last night, after helping Gu Lanxi pack her things, Lu Nanting was about to take out his phone to watch the show when Gu Lanxi grabbed his neck and fell onto the bed, and he couldn't care less about that anymore.

I had long thought that the real Gu Lanxi would be more popular than the character she portrayed, but I never expected her to be this popular.

Lu Nanting shook his head with amusement: "She doesn't like recording variety shows. She fished all day yesterday, and went hiking before dawn today."

Many female celebrities cultivate an outdoor persona to secure endorsements for outdoor products, but Gu Lanxi is different; she does it because she genuinely loves outdoor sports.

Occasionally, Lu Nanting would hear her mention things like "being chased by a dog onto a wall" or "climbing a tree to steal a bird's nest." He seriously suspected that this girl might actually enjoy parkour in private, but just didn't dare tell him.

"The big boss has a lot of energy. These days, young people are all like they have chicken plague, listless all day long, but she is always full of vitality and lives very seriously, which is remarkable."

Lu Nanting nodded, clearly agreeing with this statement.

But he didn't say anything, and his expression looked indifferent.

Xiao Jiang had spent a lot of time with him and was very familiar with his micro-expressions, so she would not mistake the fleeting look of pride on his face.

Can't help but laugh.

Meanwhile, during her break, Gu Lanxi quietly took off the wedding ring from her necklace and, in front of her team members, put it on the ring finger of her left hand. (End of Chapter)
