The sweetest in the entertainment industry

During the day, clothes get wet and then dry again, leaving behind a buildup of sweat residue. Taking a shower at night is a very comfortable thing.

Since summer clothes are light, it's easy to carry two sets of clothes in your bag for changing.

The Wang family of three had only intended to use some stream water to wipe themselves clean, but to their surprise, Gu Lanxi and her husband had boiled hot water and brought opaque plastic sheeting. They simply surrounded a few trees and set up a makeshift bathroom.

They brought a bucket specifically for killing chickens, but unexpectedly they also brought another folding bucket, specifically for bathing.

Fetch half a bucket of stream water, mix it with boiled water, and take a bath—it's incredibly comfortable!

Even the bathroom had a roof to prevent being secretly filmed!

As it was getting dark, Gu Lanxi put the disposable tableware she had used for dinner into a double-layered garbage bag. Lu Nanting had already prepared these and called Gu Lanxi to go downstairs to take a shower.

Gu Lanxi boiled a pot of water, added two buckets of water, filled the pot again, and stuffed firewood into the stove.

While one person went in to take a shower, the other person stood guard outside. After he finished showering, Lu Nanting took his dirty clothes to wash.

As Gu Lanxi dried her hair and sprayed floral water on the two of them, the water in the pot boiled again.

She smiled and waved to the hillside, naturally inviting the Wang family of three to come down and take a bath.

There was nothing in the wilderness, and everything had to be brought from home. With limited carrying capacity, it was difficult to live comfortably, but Gu Lanxi always had many ingenious ideas that were truly admirable.

Fu Yanran was quite embarrassed, but Gu Lanxi was sincere and said that the water was specially boiled for them, so they couldn't refuse and took their changes of clothes downstairs.

Lu Nanting washed the clothes, took them up the hillside, strung a rope on a tree behind the tent, hung the clothes up to dry, and clipped them with small wooden clips to prevent them from being blown away by the night wind.

When she returned, Gu Lanxi had already taken out the watermelon and washed it. Just as she was about to cut it on the mat, the watermelon rolled down the hillside.

The tent was quite large, rolled up on all four sides, leaving only a mosquito net. The curtain was open, and a moisture-proof mat was laid out at the entrance. Gu Lanxi had just cut the watermelon here, but the mat was a bit tilted. Gu Lanxi had been at the bottom of the hillside and hadn't stayed here much, so she was a little unfamiliar with the terrain. As soon as she sat down, the watermelon ran away before she could even put it down properly.

Lu Nanting hurriedly ran over and held the melon down.

Once I sat back down, a fine layer of sweat appeared on my forehead again.

"If it breaks, I'll be furious. I'll cut it in half and give half to their family."

Fu Yanran cooked the fish very well and also brought some cold dishes. The two of them ate quite a bit of this family's food today.

Although they brought their own, since they already knew each other, they couldn't keep it to themselves.

Lu Nanting agreed, took a fruit knife, and placed two soft cotton towels under the watermelon before starting to cut it.

Gu Lanxi took out a fan made from a palm leaf and fanned it wildly at the two of them. After a while, she lit mosquito coils.

As night fell, the mosquitoes became quite aggressive, and it was hot inside the tent, so she didn't want to go in.

"This fan is so cute. When we go back tomorrow, we'll pass by that palm tree and cut two more leaves to try drying and making real palm-leaf fans."

"Will you do it?"

"will not."

Gu Lanxi said confidently, "But I can learn!"

Lu Nanting just smiled.

After cutting the watermelon, we covered one half with plastic wrap, took out a spoon, and together with Gu Lanxi, we ate it bite by bite under the increasingly bright starlight.

Gu Lanxi sat down next to him and fanned his back.

“When I was a child, every summer evening, after dinner, my grandparents would wear white vests, flip-flops and shorts, take palm-leaf fans and sit on the blue stone outside the yard. They would chat with the neighbors about this and that while fanning themselves. I thought they were so gossipy and never liked them.”

Lu Nanting didn't know why she suddenly brought this up. He just hummed in response, indicating that he was listening, and then didn't know what to say.

"Later, I met someone who also liked to gossip about others. He would always lean in with a smile and whisper in my ear, 'Let me tell you something...'"

Lu Nanting immediately understood that she was talking about him.

But his first reaction was: "So you don't like listening to this?"

The entertainment industry is full of gossip. Lu Nanting has been working hard all day long since entering this industry, and his greatest pleasure is listening to gossip.

Every time she heard something interesting, she would eagerly run to tell Gu Lanxi, thinking that she would also find it interesting...

"Me? I'm a well-known double standard in China. When you gossip, I find it so adorable—your eyes light up! I don't even know how to describe it, I just love it!"

Lu Nanting tried to suppress a laugh, but not quite succeeded. In the end, he chuckled and patted her cheek, saying, "You're so disrespectful." Gu Lanxi wasn't annoyed and looked up at the stars.

When you look at the stars in the wild, you always feel like you're very, very close to the sky.

Summer nights are filled with the chirping of insects. After a day of scorching sun, the grass and trees exude a fresh fragrance, and the earth has its own unique aroma.

After a long while, Gu Lanxi raised an eyebrow and replied, "Only men care about size."

Lu Nanting was instantly amused by her.

After laughing for a while, seeing that the family of three had packed their things and were coming up the hill, she leaned over and whispered, "Well, the most common cosmetic procedure is breast augmentation, right? I suppose women also care about the size."

"Pooh!"

Gu Lanxi spat at him, got up to get her own pot, and gave them the watermelon along the way.

After the family of three thanked them, they asked if they wanted any snacks or grapes.
The two, who are known for their strict body management, declined the offer after thanking the family, and the family understood, so they went back to their own home.

The hillside wasn't very big, and the two tents were about ten meters apart, so privacy wasn't guaranteed, but conversations were still hard to hear.

"I brought my harmonica. Let me brush my teeth and play it for you. See how well I've learned?"

Gu Lanxi packed up her things, put the watermelon rind away, took a clean spoon and crawled into the tent. She took out a small bag from her bag, untied the drawstring, and poured out a ten-hole harmonica.

"When did you learn that? How come I didn't know?"

"How can I let you know everything? I have to give you a surprise."

"Then I have so many surprises."

"You're so lucky, I envy you so much."

"I need to learn from our teacher, Mr. Gu."

"That won't do. I don't like it when you keep things from me."

"China is famous for its double standards."

"If you're enjoying preferential treatment, then don't complain so much."

"I didn't complain."

"Shh, I'm about to begin..."

Wang Cheng's family is playing games together. Today is family fun day, and elementary school students can play for an hour.

Just as they were having a great time, they suddenly heard melodious music.

In the vast, dark mountains, a deep yet vibrant melody drifted into the valleys and climbed to the mountaintops, sounding like a lament, as if expressing some kind of longing.

The family of three unconsciously stopped what they were doing and started listening intently.

I thought it was Lu Nanting playing a trick, but when the song ended, I heard Lu Nanting clapping and praising me in detail.

They even praised the harmonica for its powerful sound, accurate pitch, and high quality.

Then it occurred to me that Gu Lanxi seemed to be quite good at playing the suona, and was not someone who knew nothing about music.

People often say that this couple has nothing in common, but little do they know how many things they have in common.

Just as I was lost in thought, I saw my teammate had already started cursing wildly.

The three quickly composed themselves and honestly admitted their mistake.

It would be incredibly rude to accidentally harm your teammates.

After the family had finished playing and the lights were off, assuming they were probably asleep, Lu Nanting put away his harmonica, took out his phone, and happily sent a team invitation to Gu Lanxi.

He's going to go online again and ruin things for his teammates.

People I know don't like hanging out with them, so maybe...

How about finding a few lucky fans?
It seems that with so many layers of filters, one can endure more than others.

The couple chuckled and couldn't help rubbing their hands together. (End of Chapter)
