Chapter 373 A Heart-Fluttering Moment Like a Fleeting Night

Once Gu Lanxi sets her mind on doing something, she will strive to do it to the extreme.

At first, the young people may not have realized their elders' plans, and they got along quite easily.

Those who are extroverted and enjoy making friends will walk and chat with people they get along with, while those who are more introverted will be like Gu Lanxi, quietly picking up trash.

Later, realizing that the elders' expressions were a bit off, they understood and the conversation started to veer towards their personal situations. The trash collectors no longer dared to focus solely on the trash.

Decades ago, families that could afford to send their children to art school were already well-off, starting from the grandfather's generation. In addition, since both parents were stage performers, their appearance was taken into consideration in addition to their professional skills, whether it was for art exams or job assignments. Therefore, there were no truly ugly people among these young people.

They are close in age, from similar social backgrounds, have good looks, and share a lot in common with their elders. They are indeed ideal marriage partners. Since you have the opportunity to get to know them, there is no need to make things difficult for yourself.

As a result, fewer people are focusing on picking up trash.

People walked forward supporting each other, stopping from time to time to drink water, eat, touch up their makeup, and take photos. Gradually, more and more people joined in.

By the afternoon, as they were about to leave the mountain, only Gu Lanxi's trash bag was full.

Especially the net bag, which was full of bottles and jars. Many of the mineral water bottles had been crushed, and the caps were put back on before putting them in. It looked very professional.

The net bag wasn't heavy, so she tied the opening tightly and fastened it to the back of her backpack.

The fire tongs were tied vertically to her backpack, while she carried the snakeskin bag in her hand.

It must weigh at least twenty pounds in total.

From a distance, it looks like a giant turtle.

Making friends simply is a joyful thing, but making friends with marriage in mind is not so pleasant, especially for people who have no plans to get married.

After a long day, the elders were exhausted, and the young people were also worn out.

Seeing Gu Lanxi like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Some people even took a few photos of her and wanted to take a picture with her.

Gu Lanxi accepted group photos, but she refused all solo photos, especially with men.

During the final group photo, someone couldn't help but force a smile and look at her:
"We've been traveling together all day, and now that we're about to part ways, I realize I don't even know what Miss Gu looks like."

The boy had a crush on her, and the two walked together for a while. Even when he saw her wearing a wedding ring, he couldn't believe she was really married. As they were about to part ways, he was afraid he would never see her again, so he wanted to catch a glimpse of her face.

Gu Lanxi wasn't familiar with them and was worried they might spread rumors online. Besides, this route was extremely popular, and the mountain was packed with people. She even ate lunch behind a large, sheltered rock with her back to the crowd. Hearing this request put her in a difficult position.

The regimental commander knew her well and was aware of her concerns. Before she could speak, he immediately waved the flag and urged everyone to quicken their pace.

"We can take photos another time. It's too late today, and it's not safe to walk down the mountain at night. Hurry up and keep up with us!"

Gu Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her snakeskin bag, and immediately followed.

By the time they successfully descended the mountain, it was completely dark. Everyone piled the garbage bags onto the pre-arranged small truck and then went their separate ways.

Those who were curious about her appearance only saw her beautiful eyes after she took off her sunglasses.

Gu Lanxi was brought here by the driver in the morning, and now that she is coming down the mountain, the driver will naturally pick her up again.

As soon as I opened the car door, I saw Lu Nanting sitting in the back seat.

I intended to sit in the back, but then I went back and prepared to go to the front.

"I spent the whole day picking up trash, I was covered in sweat and stench, I..."

Lu Nanting grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"A limited edition, huh? Let me smell it. How bad does it smell?"

In the dead of winter, she took off her magic scarf, her hair sticking to her cheeks, her face flushed red, giving her a unique sexiness. Lu Nanting pulled her close and gave her a loud kiss.

"As expected of my wife, she smells so good even when she sweats."

Seeing her take off her gloves and wear the wedding ring on her hand, Lu Nanting was quite surprised: "Wasn't you wearing it around your neck? Why did you decide to take it off and wear it on your hand?"

Gu Lanxi then told him about what happened today.

"When I told them I was married, they didn't believe me. They thought I looked down on them and was just making up an excuse, haha~ Some people even asked me, 'Why are you married at such a young age? Is it an arranged marriage?'"

She made it sound interesting, but Lu Nanting wasn't very happy.

"These people, do they have eagle eyes? They're all wrapped up like old hags, yet they can still see through appearances to the essence. Humph!"

"Please, can you not be so overly anxious?"

"What do you mean I have a strong sense of crisis? It's the reality that forces me to be vigilant, okay? It feels like the whole world is trying to poach my employees..."

"Stop talking, I understand."

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh.

It seems they received great praise.

As the young couple met and spoke quietly, the people leaving the venue to go home were also unsettled.

"How did it go, son? There were so many wonderful girls today, did you get along with any of them?"

In a car, the quiet and reserved son sat in the back seat, playing on his phone from the moment he got in.

Dad drove silently, while Mom sat beside him and asked gently.

The young man had just graduated and was working at an archaeological research institute; he was very quiet and refined. He had been on several blind dates before, all unsuccessful, and hadn't held out much hope today, but then he whispered, "..."
"Mom, do you recognize the girl who kept her face covered today?"

His mother was surprised that he was interested in Gu Lanxi, and couldn't help but laugh: "She's already married. Son, you have pretty good taste!"

"She's really married? She doesn't look that old."

"You're my own son, would I lie to you? I did think about introducing you two before, but I didn't expect her to get married so quickly. Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. Good girls are never short of excellent guys lining up for them. Don't even think about it!"

"What does she look like?"

The boy's curiosity was piqued when he recalled the bright eyes he had seen on his way down the mountain.

But Mom didn't say anything.

If people knew that she knew a big star, asking for autographs today and meeting her tomorrow, and constantly asking her about all sorts of gossip, how could she live her life?
Another thing is that Gu Lanxi is really married. It's fine if her son doesn't know who she is. They went hiking together today and didn't talk much. He'll forget about her in a few days. But if he were told that she is Gu Lanxi, he would become a fan. Once his standards are raised, he would never be able to look down. He might end up a bachelor.

Thinking of this, the mother immediately created a small group chat, calling together everyone who had brought their children today, and asking them to keep Gu Lanxi's identity a secret and not to tell the children.

They had known Gu Lanxi for a long time. Even this year, after Gu Lanxi married Lu Nanting and was constantly stalked by paparazzi and blocked by obsessive fans, she still met up with this group of people several times. They really had a good relationship.

For the sake of a peaceful life, they had long agreed not to mention their relationship to outsiders. Now, for the sake of their own child, their sense of secrecy has reached a new level.

So, the unsuspecting children brazenly posted Gu Lanxi's photos online, along with rather poignant descriptions.

The guy who works at the archaeological institute, in particular, has 130,000 followers on his Xiaohongshu account because he likes to share things like archaeological identification.

His post had only been out for half an hour when it was spotted by the sharp-eyed Little Yuanbao.

Clicking through, I saw that he had written this:

[Some Heart-Fluttering Moments Bloom Like a Fleeting Epiphyllum]

Today, my mom's workplace and a sister workplace had a social event, and the uncles and aunts all brought their children of marriageable age, including me.

As the sun rose, I noticed a girl who was as agile as a rabbit, leaping and bounding across the rocks, her long fire tongs always able to precisely pick up trash from the crevices.

She was wrapped up tightly, not even her fingernails were showing, but she spoke very nicely and was very polite. No matter what I said, she listened patiently. Whenever I thought she wasn't listening carefully, she always managed to ask the key questions.

In real life, I'm a very quiet person, but today I told her a lot of interesting archaeological stories.

I didn't expect her to be so knowledgeable about cultural relics; we found we had a lot in common.

After only ten minutes together, I could already imagine how outstanding she must be.

She possesses a brilliant mind, extensive knowledge, good manners, and a healthy body. She also harbors great goodwill towards the world, remaining gentle and tolerant even towards strangers.

I feel like I've met my ideal type.

An outstanding girl shines even in a crowd.

A dazzling person will always be noticed.

Besides me, several other people in my group tried to strike up a conversation with her.

She was very polite to everyone, but she probably sensed what we were thinking and refused everyone's request to exchange contact information. She also refused to take photos with us individually. During the break, she even took off the wedding ring hanging on her necklace and put it on.

I don't believe she married young; I just think she looks down on me and is doing this on purpose to reject everyone else.

She's such a wonderful young lady! She's incredibly dedicated to her work, never afraid of hardship or fatigue. Out of more than forty people, she picked up the most trash.

As she descended the mountain, she appeared before me carrying a "mountain of garbage" on her back, with the afterglow of the setting sun behind her. My heart began to pound uncontrollably.

On my way home, I tried one last time to ask my mother about her, and she told me that she really was married.

This is really a sad story.

A certain kind of heart-fluttering feeling, like the blooming of a night-blooming cereus, fades away completely in this winter night.

I cried a lot for myself.

I wish I had met her sooner.

On Children's Day, Juanwang gave me a figurine with his head printed on it, which sways back and forth when I move it slightly.

They made a huge fuss and insisted on putting it on my desk.

As I type this, I feel like there's a supervisor next to me.

I feel like I've been severely mentally polluted.

He was very happy.

I bought some lychees a couple of days ago and plan to hydroponically grow a small seedling and put it on the table to look after.

He took his favorite glass cup to keep it.

My mood has improved a little.

After it grows taller, I'll put the ornament behind the lychee seedling.

I hope they'll live up to expectations.

Also, I didn't get into Ermaomao Kindergarten through the lottery, sigh.

Sister Wang will be drawing lots next week; hopefully, she'll be lucky.
