Chapter 547 An Ordinary Surprise

"What does it mean?"

Lu Nanting leaned against the headboard, looking at his phone while gently poking Gu Lanxi's soft cheek with his finger. His voice was unusually low and hoarse, clearly indicating that he was not in a good mood.

"what do you mean?"

After dinner and the two finished exercising, Gu Lanxi was drowsy and lying on her pillow when he suddenly said something that left her completely bewildered.

"Why are all your solo fans changing their profile pictures to parrots? Is it for birthday support?"

This year, Gu Lanxi and her husband chose to keep a low profile for her birthday, not only not having a family dinner but also not posting any birthday wishes on Weibo.

Fan support should logically be related to the artist themselves, but Lu Nanting really couldn't understand what his wife had to do with the parrot.

Gu Lanxi ignored his mischievous hands and simply turned her head in another direction.

"I don't know, let them play, why are you keeping an eye on them?"

Fans often follow celebrities simply for their own enjoyment, and the celebrities themselves don't need to get involved in everything.

"You don't understand. When fans do something wrong, it's always the artists who have to pay the price. I have to keep an eye on their every move."

"Then you can keep an eye on your fans, why are you watching me? They all know their limits."

"What's wrong? Haven't you ever seen a virtuous wife before?"

"You must have a lot of free time."

"You're mocking me. Sure enough, spending too much time with Sister Bing has caught her influence."

"I'm going to inform on them."

"Who wouldn't know about this?"

"You're not allowed to talk badly about people behind their backs!"

"Okay, I'm sorry. But you can't be sarcastic."

"Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you like that."

"It's not that I can't, I just want to hear you say a few more words, I don't care what you say."

"I'm tired, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

Gu Lanxi ignored him, shook out the thin blanket, changed to a more comfortable sleeping position, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.

After investigating for a long time, Lu Nanting finally found the reason and said through gritted teeth, "Your fans really need to be managed! They're giving me nicknames again! What does 'colorful blond hair' mean? I have to fight back."

Gu Lanxi was still half asleep, but upon hearing this, she instantly woke up: "What do you want to do?"

"Switch to your main account, leave a message, and call me brother-in-law, and I'll forgive you!"

"Are you crazy? Why are you arguing with a complete stranger?"

Having no other choice, Gu Lanxi got up and asked what had happened.

"Sigh, I knew it. Your fans always think I'm not good enough for you."

She was about to ask, but Lu Nanting lay down and remained silent.

He tossed his phone to the foot of the bed and didn't care anymore.

Since he didn't mention it, Gu Lanxi didn't bother to make a fuss, so she turned off the light and lay back down.

Seeing that he was a little unhappy, she took his arm and draped it over herself, then snuggled closer to him before starting to coax him:
"Just live your own life. Why care so much about what others think? Your fans don't necessarily like me that much either."

Lu Nanting was appeased by him and indeed didn't mention the matter again, only asking her:

"It's my birthday tomorrow. I'll leave it to you. How do you plan to celebrate?"

Previously, she had only said to follow the standards of ordinary people, but Lu Nanting had no concept of this and planned to listen to her.

"Ordinary people have to go to work on their birthdays too. I go to work during the day, and you stay here by yourself until I get off work. Then we'll eat and sleep together."

“That’s it??”

Lu Nanting's eyes widened instantly! "That's right! For ordinary people, the best birthday is when they have loved ones by their side, eat something delicious, receive some small gifts, and have a happy day."

What are the criteria for this small gift?

Gu Lanxi didn't play guessing games with him and directly said what she wanted: "I want to eat the birthday cake you made for me!"

Considering it was her birthday, her aunt prepared a kitchen set that included not only an oven, but also molds, piping bags, and an egg beater. With some ingredients, she could make it at home.

“That works too. Where should we buy the materials? Let me see what we need. You pick a design, and I'll make it according to that. It will be finished by the time you get off work.”

"Let's ask my uncle to deliver it for us, otherwise we'll be in big trouble once we're found out. But can you manage it all by yourself?"

"Give it a try! I can't guarantee anything else, but I'll definitely make it myself."

The staff who have been with them for a long time are familiar not only to fans but also to paparazzi. In order to reduce the chances of being recognized, they did not bring any staff with them, so they had to do everything themselves.

Lu Nanting got up, found his phone, and quickly made a list.

Then he contacted his uncle and sent him the list.

With anticipation in their hearts, they were both very happy.

Lu Nanting then asked about her experience at the garment factory: "In this heat, do you wear a mask the whole time in the factory?"

Lu Nanting was a little puzzled as to why he hadn't made it onto the trending topics list after all this time.

It's impossible for everyone in the factory to be her relative and willing to keep her secret.

“I only wore it yesterday when I picked you up. I don’t usually wear it. Everyone thinks I’m Lin Jiayi. A few days ago, Sister Mei made a trending topic, which was a list of people who look like me. Some people took pictures of me at work and mixed them in. Some people even followed me to the market. Everyone thinks it’s just because we look alike. No one bothers me at work.”

After all, no one believed that she would actually go to the factory and work diligently every day.

No one believed that she would ride a used electric scooter through the crowded market.

"You are so brave!"

“I’m a better actor. Look at me now, I don’t look like a star at all. My temperament is completely different, which is why I’m treated like an ordinary person. If you were to lie through your teeth, no one would believe you. Your demeanor is clearly different from that of an ordinary person.”

Lu Nanting thought it made sense.

"Just to be on the safe side, we'd better not go out. Otherwise, if someone takes a picture of us, you won't be able to explain yourself."

"Once filming begins, you can come openly and legitimately."

"Hmm, what have you learned at the factory?"

"I just learned how to be a seamstress these past few days. I can turn cut fabric into clothes. Once I learn how to make patterns, I can switch to another job."

The factory belongs to my cousin, so it's perfectly normal for them to just say there's a shortage of people in a certain position and make some transfers.

"So, do you know how to make clothes now?"

"I'm not quite there yet. Once I finish filming this movie, I should be able to design, make, cut, and sew all by myself."

Speaking of this, Gu Lanxi almost fell asleep.

"I'll be able to make clothes for my dolls soon!"

Lu Nanting felt a pang of jealousy: "Why didn't you make it for me?"

"Wearing it casually is fine, as long as you don't mind my poor technique."

It has to be said that Gu Lanxi's confidence is really appealing.

They can learn anything quickly and master it in a short time; they're practically at the highest level of human ability.

"Wow, no wonder they all say I have multicolored blond hair, you're really amazing!"

Seeing that he was feigning sourness again, clearly still unhappy about what happened before, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but tease him:

"I don't like listening to their crickets anymore. I'll grow my hair black and give them a surprise."

"Hmm, then they'll say I've come ashore from being a playboy, or that I'm going to reform as a courtesan."

Gu Lanxi slapped him in an annoyed tone: "Go to sleep!"
