The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 542 Good Mother

The little girl's seat was opposite Gu Lanxi, also next to the window, and the tall, dark-skinned PE student sat next to her.

It's true that fans sometimes brush past their idols without recognizing them, but in a situation like today, where two people are knee-to-knee and can make eye contact with each other just by looking up, it's really hard to believe they wouldn't recognize each other.

Gu Lanxi was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions, so she had prepared a response. She took out her phone, typed a message in her notepad, and asked her not to make a fuss.

She has the confidence to do such things because her fans have spoiled her over the years.

They have never let her down.

Especially when it comes to matters concerning her safety, they are probably even more cautious than she is.

Just as I was about to turn the font size up to the largest, I saw the girl sit down and immediately pull an iPad out of her bag. She started working with the stylus, not even caring that her backpack, which wasn't zipped up, had slipped onto her feet.

"Don't rush me, honey. I'm already on the train. I'll start drawing now, and I guarantee it'll be finished before we get to our stop!"

Hearing her speak, Gu Lanxi realized that the girl had earphones under her long, loose hair, and was obviously chatting with someone.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Gu Lanxi put her phone down and decided to wait and see.

"Hehehe, I also think it's very sweet, hehehe."

The girl chatted with someone while opening her drawing software and starting to draw without even looking up.

"How could that be? They're so busy, they probably can't see it... Okay, my phone's going to die and it'll be inconvenient to get off the bus later, so I'll hang up now."

Then this master artist just kept drawing comics until the car stopped in Baoding. He hurriedly packed his things and flew off the train.

For two whole hours, he didn't even lift his head.

She kept putting on her hat and looking out the window, making countless fake gestures.

It only took Gu Lanxi five minutes to go from being on high alert to being speechless.

Time always seems to drag on a green train.

The view outside the window was like an old film reel, receding frame by frame.

Listening to the sound of the wheels rolling forward, Gu Lanxi suddenly had a wicked urge and took a picture of the girl who was working at her desk.

Her round head, with two stubborn whorls on top colliding and causing a tuft of hair to stand up, and her chubby hands holding the stylus, were drawing halfway on the screen...

Although the phone is outdated, the close proximity was enough for her to take clear photos.

Lu Nanting was worried about her food and drink, and when she didn't reply for a long time, he was concerned. But when she sent him a photo and mentioned the matter, he couldn't help but laugh.

They have a huge number of fans and are currently the undisputed top stars in the Chinese entertainment industry. In addition, the number of casual fans who simply like them without doing data analysis or joining fan groups is immeasurable.

It's quite common to bump into fans in densely populated areas.

But sitting face to face like this is still a bit unusual.

It was even more surprising that the fan didn't recognize her when she got off the train at her stop!

With limited investment, we need to find alternative ways to promote and distribute our products.

Gu Lanxi's trip to experience life was secretly filmed by staff throughout, and the footage will be edited together and released as behind-the-scenes footage.

Fearing that the girl might turn around and find that she had been sitting opposite her idol for two hours without even glancing at her, causing her to lose her passion and quit the fandom, resulting in a major loss of talent for Lantingji, Gu Lanxi took advantage of her inattention, took a book, used an unused cleaning bag as a pad, wrote her a short travel letter, and stuffed it into her bag.

【Dear Little Circle:】
It is an honor to be by your side and witness the birth of this painting.

May you have love in your heart, light in your eyes, direction in your steps, and lasting good fortune.

Gu Lanxi

[Date and Time]

Gu Lanxi was afraid that she would get too excited when she saw the letter and reveal her whereabouts, so she specially drew a cute little slipper symbol on the back and wrote a message saying that she did not want to be blocked at the train station.

The train continued its journey, and the seat opposite her remained empty for several stops. Gu Lanxi lay down and took a nap. When it was almost noon, she went to the dining car, bought a boxed lunch, found a corner, and ate it openly.

She dressed plainly and didn't care much about food.

Having eaten boxed lunches on film sets many times in her early years, Gu Lanxi was very experienced. She would find a corner, face the wall, hold the lunchbox in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and finish eating in just a few minutes.

After eating, with nothing else to do, I strolled around a few adjacent carriages for a while. With my mask on, I ignored everyone, and if anyone approached to strike up a conversation, I would pretend to cough.

Come on, don't be afraid of getting infected.

And so, the afternoon passed smoothly. A young mother carrying a child came from across the street, and the dark-skinned PE student got off the bus, replaced by a reserved old man.

As for the old lady next to her, she fell asleep as soon as she got on the bus, clutching the cloth bag in her arms. She didn't talk to anyone and it was unclear which stop she was going to get off at.

The little boy was about one year old and was obsessed with the toy car in his hand.

The toy car accidentally ran under the table, and since the mother was holding the child, it was inconvenient for her to bend down to pick it up. So Gu Lanxi put her arms on the table, forming a circle, and patiently coaxed the child to play.

"Look, now you have a training ground! It's specially for the most well-behaved little ones in the world!"

Gu Lanxi had never coaxed a child before, but she had seen other actresses play mothers on set. In addition, she was a very patient person and was willing to play with the child wholeheartedly. The child appreciated this and played with her obediently until after three o'clock. The child then drank half a bottle of milk, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and fell asleep in his mother's arms.

The woman was very gentle and kept talking to Gu Lanxi in a casual, informal way.

Upon learning that she was married, the conversation revolved around her husband, children, and work-life balance.

Gu Lanxi spoke with great tact, never saying anything she shouldn't have, and speaking freely about anything of little importance.

The two had a very pleasant conversation and both felt they had gained a lot.

After the child fell asleep, Gu Lanxi stopped talking.

The child slept for a full three hours.

At first, she could hold on to it steadily, but later she frequently switched hands, so Gu Lanxi took over holding it for a while.

Around 5 p.m., the woman took the child to the restroom to change the diaper, and when she came back, she insisted on giving her a small packet of tea.

"My family's tea garden is located in Cheyun Mountain. This is tea that I processed myself. It was just picked during the White Dew season. It has a very special aroma and a unique sweetness. Because it is so rare, we usually don't sell it. I hope you won't mind."

Gu Lanxi enjoys drinking tea and was delighted to receive such a gift.

But they didn't mention exchanging contact information or anything like that.

People who meet by chance on the train are all very tactful, and the other party didn't mention it.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had put away the tea.

Gu Lanxi helped her take care of and soothe the children, and she had no way to repay her, so she could only give away a small bag of tea that she had left for her father.

For her, these homemade products meant nothing.

“I married from Xinxiang to Xinyang, which is already considered a long-distance marriage. I never expected you to marry from Guangzhou to Beijing. I'm afraid you won't be able to come back to your parents' home even once a year?”

"Fortunately, I don't have children yet, so I can go back whenever I want."

"Having a child is something you really have to be careful about. It's a money pit and a stumbling block, making it inconvenient to go anywhere!"

The little boy was holding a water cup, blowing bubbles, and as he blew, he repeated under his mother's chin, "Money burner, tripping rope~"

Gu Lanxi laughed heartily at his joke.

At six o'clock, the train stopped in Xinyang, and the mother and son arrived at their destination.

As they said goodbye, the woman sincerely praised her, "You will definitely be a very, very good mother in the future!"

Because of those words, Gu Lanxi couldn't suppress the smile on her lips even when it was completely dark.

I figured Lu Nanting was probably done with his work by now, so I told him about it.

Lu Nanting had just removed her makeup and was waiting for Brother Yuan to hand over the work to someone when she saw the message, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

A moment later, the drowsy Gu Lanxi received his reply:
Of course, every wife who is deeply loved by her husband will be a good mother.

Afterwards, I even sent her a proud emoji with her chest puffed out.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but chuckle softly.

That's true.
