The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 526 Childishness

"Am I crazy?! How could I possibly kick you on the ground in the middle of the night?!"

I woke up still feeling groggy! First, I got a lecture.

Gu Lanxi was filled with regret; why hadn't she installed a security camera in the bedroom!
"You admit it now? I never said you kicked me down."

Lu Nanting, wearing a white tank top and floral shorts, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, hugging a sky-blue quilt with small yellow floral patterns. His hair was sticking up, and he looked aggrieved, like a puppy that had been caught in the rain. Gu Lanxi was so angry that she grabbed her hair twice and couldn't control her emotions!
"Isn't that what you meant? What do you mean I admitted it? I already said it! It's because the bed at home has a railing, and you're used to sleeping in it, that you accidentally rolled off! Besides, if I kicked you, how could you not feel it? With your size, how much strength would it take for me to kick you when you're sound asleep? Furthermore, look at yourself, are there any footprints of mine on you? You're just making things up without any evidence!"

"Who knows! The hotel doesn't have railings, and I've never fallen to the ground! Anyway, you warned me about it last night..."

Gu Lanxi didn't want to continue arguing about this issue, so she made a stop gesture:
"Stop, stop, stop! Maybe there's someone else in your bed and it's too narrow to sleep in. I'm really sorry if you're cramped. How about this, I'll sleep in another room later, okay?"

"So you can't solve the problem, so you eliminate the person who raised it?"

Gu Lanxi was so angry she almost laughed!

"Just say what you want to do, don't make excuses I don't want to hear! If I really want to kick you, I can do it even when I'm awake."

Okay, Lu Nanting was very aware of his position in the family, so he didn't dare to cause any more trouble. He whispered to her, "I want to go to the zoo with you. We've never been together before."

Gu Lanxi rolled her eyes, put on her slippers, and went into the bathroom.

"It's such a small matter, why make such a fuss?"

"Hey, I already told you, you misunderstood me. My only intention was to make you feel sorry for me."

Gu Lanxi is very sensitive to accusations of violence. The moment she opened her eyes, she heard him say that he had inexplicably fallen off the bed in the middle of the night, so naturally she would overthink it.

The two of them moved on from that incident, washed up, changed into comfortable clothes, and drove to Zhang's Restaurant for morning tea.

They both understand the celebrity effect very well. Since they rarely have time off, they naturally want to visit their relatives for a meal and drinks to boost the store's popularity and enjoy some authentic and delicious food.

The two entered the restaurant dressed casually and looking neat and tidy. When Gu Lanxi saw familiar faces, she greeted them with a smile.

Although I've been away from home for many years, I still speak the local dialect very fluently.

The shop has been open for many years. Lu Nanting's grandparents have long since retired, but they still like to come to the shop early in the morning rather than stay at home and enjoy their retirement.

During the morning market hours, neighbors from the surrounding area like to come to the shop to have breakfast, read newspapers, chat, drink tea, and eat snacks.

In particular, the old shop also features traditional Cantonese opera performances, which many tourists visit when they come to Guangzhou.

It was really lively.

When the two arrived, some fans saw them and came over with flushed faces to ask for autographs. The two didn't put on airs and seriously signed autographs for each other, and also agreed to take photos with them.

"We were in Foshan last night too, and we were excited all night. We figured you two might go back to your hometown for a visit, so we rushed over early this morning!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We finally have a holiday, who wouldn't miss home-cooked meals!"

The fans, brimming with youthful energy and beaming with pride, shared their thoughts with the two of them.

Seeing that they were in a good mood today, some people even started gossiping about their experiences as fans:

"My cousin likes Sister Bing. She taught me this advice. If Sister Bing goes back to her hometown, my cousin will go to Ni's Private Kitchen to eat every day. She's bound to run into her someday!"

Lu Nanting rarely smiles at his fans.

As they talked animatedly, I asked them, "My grandfather owns many chain stores, how did you know to come here?"

What a stupid question!
The fans pointed at the two elderly people who were smiling.

Since I've come back so rarely, I can't just come back for a meal.

Realizing he had made a foolish mistake, Lu Nanting felt a little embarrassed. He had originally intended to treat Gu Lanxi to a meal, but in the end, he pulled her upstairs.

The fans didn't follow, but sat down and ordered their own breakfast as planned.

Fearing that the two would be trapped in the store, no one told anyone that they were there.

Breakfast took more than an hour, and I only returned to the hotel satisfied after watching the couple finish their meal and leave through the back door.

Being able to meet them once, and even get a photo and autograph, is already a great achievement. Continuing to stalk them or try to bump into them would inevitably annoy others. They want to leave the best impression on their idols and don't want to become people their idols dislike.

The couple drove to Chimelong Safari Park, and they were looking forward to it, remembering what their grandparents had said at breakfast.

"My uncles are really amazing. They caught a grouper weighing over 60 pounds just like that. I'm really looking forward to tonight's 18-course meal."

Like the Ni family, the Zhang family also has a family tradition of cooking, and their specialty is seafood.

A simple bowl of seafood porridge in the morning is so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall off; in the evening, Grandpa gathers nine of his fellow apprentices to cook and prepare this fish, making it even more anticipated.

In particular, Gu Lanxi is originally from Guangdong, and her taste has remained unchanged for many years; she just loves this kind of food.

The Zhang family cherished their daughter who had married far away, and her three sons were also very favored, especially the sweet-talking and charming Lu Nanting. Every time he came, the elders would go to great lengths to prepare all kinds of delicious food for him.

Now even Gu Lanxi can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Just as Gu Lanxi was thinking this, Lu Nanting reminded her:
"We're making such a big fuss this time because you just won an award, and we're celebrating for you! When we get back to Beijing, we'll definitely have something planned for our family too."

"I will definitely work harder in the future, not for anything else, but just to make my elders happy!"

"Not for the food?"

"Of course! I'm not someone who's greedy for food."

Lu Nanting just smiled and didn't say anything.

Gu Lanxi snorted softly and couldn't help but laugh.

The main reason she agreed to marry Lu Nanting was not only because they had genuine feelings for each other and got along very well, but also because he had a warm and loving family and his relatives and friends were all easy to get along with.

They arrived at the zoo easily. The two changed clothes in the car, put on hats and masks, and got out. Gu Lanxi opened a parasol, making it difficult to recognize her even if you looked closely.

It has to be said that Gu Lanxi has a natural talent for hiding herself after following so many offline celebrities.

Lu Nanting followed her example and went into the zoo.

It's very hot this time of year. It's already past ten o'clock, and there aren't many people at the zoo. Most of the animals are hiding in the shade.

The two strolled around comfortably until they got home, and Gu Lanxi still couldn't understand why Lu Nanting wanted to go to the zoo.

She's never been one to waste time internally; if she can't figure something out, she just asks directly.

Lu Nanting only said that he wanted to see koalas.

"I finally managed to go to Australia a few days ago, but it was a rushed trip, and I didn't even have time to see anything."

Okay, Gu Lanxi agreed with his childish idea.

The next morning, Lu Nanting used the same trick again, pestering her to go to the ocean world to see the dolphin show.

Remembering the small boat on Liuhua Lake, Gu Lanxi finally realized:

"Are you only going with me because I've never been before?"

Accompany her to places she's never been before, to see things she's never seen before, to eat things she's never eaten before, to do things she's never done before...

Lu Nanting was a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

"Have you been to all of them? If you have..."

"no!"

Gu Lanxi felt warm and full inside, and she wrapped her arms around Lu Nanting's neck, giving him a super warm hug!

"For me, everything in this world is new as long as I'm with you!"

Lu Nanting patted her back and chuckled softly.

She could feel every effort Lu Nanting made, and she tried her best to cherish it in her heart. Lu Nanting just wanted to be nicer to her, and even nicer to her.
