The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 599 "A Gentle Journey" Part Twelve

Besides the roast chicken, Lu Nanting also prepared nine other dishes.

Braised fish, stir-fried meat, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce... even elm seeds were mixed with flour and steamed in a small basin.

Two square tables were placed together, and twelve people sat around them, with the tables piled high with food.

Six pregnant women eating together, of course, couldn't drink alcohol. Everyone was tired after a long day, so they sat down at the table, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and started eating.

After taking several bites, feeling that it wasn't good for everyone to remain silent, Shen Weixi, who was always good at livening up the atmosphere, spoke up:

"Seriously, the most surprising thing for me today is that Teacher Lu is such a good cook! It's so delicious!"

To be honest, everyone here has eaten all sorts of delicacies, but we still think Lu Nanting's dishes are the most delicious.

Su Ying agreed: "Indeed, the food is completely different from what you get in restaurants; it has the warmth and comfort of home."

Lu Nanting picked up a piece of fish belly, removed the bones, and naturally placed it in Gu Lanxi's bowl before putting down his chopsticks and answering seriously:

"It's just ordinary home-cooked food, nothing special."

"No way! If you can walk into the kitchen, you've already beaten at least 60 percent of the men in the world! Some people would rather starve than cook for themselves and have to wait for someone else to cook for them."

Xia Shiqian is a very calm person, so it's rare for her to have such strong emotional fluctuations.

Given the previous incident of the couple catching chickens, and the subsequent roasting of chickens in the yard with Shen Weixi and her husband, everyone had already noticed something amiss.

Her husband is completely clueless when it comes to cooking, and he doesn't see anything wrong with that.

The fact that she dared to participate in a couples' reality show despite her circumstances shows she has a really good mindset and isn't afraid of being cyberbullied.

After all, Xia Shiqian is very successful in her career and doesn't need to rely on him for support, so she naturally has no obligation to take on more housework.

This is why many couples argue.

Both of them felt that they had contributed more to the family, rather than that they hadn't contributed enough.

Not wanting to cause a fight between the couple, Lu Nanting quickly interrupted the conversation:

"Please spare me, everyone, or I'll soon become public enemy number one among men."

He's young and always likes to act aloof and taciturn. It's fine in everyday situations, but when Gu Lanxi is around, the other female guests always try to tease him.

Everyone unanimously skipped over the highly controversial topic that Xia Shiqian had brought up.

After all, this is a gentle and healing program, not a family drama.

Xia Shiqian realized that she hadn't managed her emotions very well, so she quickly put on her habitual smile and shut her mouth.

After Lu Nanting said that, the other men chimed in, saying they didn't mind.

"Knowing what kind of men women like helps us improve. Isn't that learning from the virtuous? If someone treats you as a public enemy, it's because their ideological awareness is insufficient."

After a few lighthearted banter, Gu Lanxi finally finished a bowl of rice, put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and turned to deliver a straight shot to her right:
"Yes! You're really, really good. Your cooking is so delicious, there's absolutely no need to be modest!"

No amount of praise from outsiders could compare to a single word of affirmation from his own wife, and Lu Nanting immediately beamed with joy.

"Then I can be proud without worry from now on!"

Gu Lanxi nodded, and while everyone was distracted, she quickly put a chicken wing on his plate, nudged his thigh with her knee, and gestured for him to eat.

Lu Nanting was charmed by her cuteness and kept staring at her. Gu Lanxi then put another piece of wood ear fungus on his plate.

She's already full, and this idiot is still chatting with people on an empty stomach. What's there to talk about?
In crowded places with only a few dishes, the most important thing is to quickly pick out what you like and eat your fill!

After he obediently picked up the bowl, Gu Lanxi ladled out a bowl of soup. When the soup cooled, she brought it up herself:

"When we first met, he couldn't even cook instant noodles properly!"

Seeing that her face was calm yet revealed a hint of pride, and realizing there was something to dig out, someone immediately stepped in to provide the comedic relief:

"Was it learned specifically for you?" "Not really..."

Gu Lanxi hadn't discussed this topic with Lu Nanting, so she wouldn't be so shameless.

She just wanted to say that Lu Nanting's rapid progress was because he studied diligently, and dedication is indeed the most valuable thing.

But Lu Nanting, as if his tail had been stepped on, immediately retorted: "How is it not?"

Gu Lanxi was glared at by him and immediately changed her mind: "Alright then, I'll take it as a mistake."

Lu Nanting didn't insist on arguing with her about the details.

“When I was little, my grandma always told me that when a person starts their own family, they can’t just focus on making money. There needs to be a sense of home life for the couple to stay together for a long time, because love is about caring for each other, not about competing with each other. My dad’s understanding of a sense of home life is that he has to take my mom with him wherever he goes; my eldest brother told me that a man can come home late, but he can’t not come home at all; my second brother told me that he’s invincible if he can take care of the kids on his own; I’m thinking that when my wife comes home from working overtime, I should at least cook her a bowl of hot soup noodles, right?”

After rattling off a bunch of things, he turned to look at Gu Lanxi seriously and said, "If I hadn't gotten the idea of ​​starting a family, I could have eaten anywhere. Why would I go through all the trouble of cooking for myself?"

He was only 17 years old back then, and he was thinking about this all the time. It was really weird!
If Gu Lanxi were to say such things in front of so many people on a TV show, she would probably die rather than do it.

But Lu Nanting has always been passionate and open about his feelings, saying whatever he thinks.

Shang Zhi and Chu Lingyun got married in their thirties, which she couldn't understand at all, so she couldn't help but be curious:

"I remember you were quite young back then, weren't you? While everyone else was figuring out which university to attend, you were thinking about how to get married?"

Lu Nanting coldly replied, "That doesn't conflict with anything!"

Clearly, Gu Lanxi's disbelief had upset him.

As a result, Shang Zhi was also implicated.

How self-righteous they are!

He spends all his time studying and working hard, and doesn't do anything else messy. Why can't he use that extra energy to have a proper relationship?
The others were speechless, but couldn't help their curiosity: "We still find this kind of thinking quite unusual. Could we ask why you think this way?"

Fearing he might retort, "My wife is Gu Lanxi," Shen Weixi's husband added earnestly, "Leaving aside the fact that your wife is Gu Lanxi..."

Seemingly provoked by some word again, Lu Nanting's gaze immediately darted from left to right: "Then what's the point of talking?"

Everyone laughed so hard they stomped their feet. Gu Lanxi, her face flushed from the laughter, volunteered to translate: "What they mean is, why didn't you date for a few more years? Why are you in such a hurry to get married!"

Seeing him smile knowingly, Gu Lanxi immediately added, "Don't tell me you're afraid I'll run away!"

She hasn't talked to anyone else, so there's no need for her to be in such a hurry.

“Well, you guys are really curious,” Lu Nanting’s attitude changed immediately when someone else asked. “Maybe it’s because I have a lot of people around me who have happy marriages. I’ve known what happiness is since I was a child. When I find that my happiness has come, I will be more decisive! After all, the world is changing in an instant. If you don’t hold on to some people, they will drift apart. If you don’t remember some things, you will forget them as time goes by.”

I never expected that he would have such insights into marriage and family at such a young age.

The group ate and chatted, and soon lunch was over, followed by nap time.

The group received a new mission.

"Sleeping with a live stream on??"

Has the production team gone mad?!

His teeth leak air, so he mispronounces many words, which is a bit funny.

Even food couldn't shut them up; they all deliberately teased me into talking, even grinning and mimicking my hissing.

I don't know when the new dentures will be in place, but I hope all three of them can get back to normal soon.

Ugh, this is so annoying.

I'll be going to the hospital repeatedly for the next few months, ugh, that's even more annoying.

Some people are curious about the total cost of this tooth at West China Hospital, so I'll make a record for you and tell you when it's done, so that those who need it can use it as a reference.

It's strange that someone who stays home all day can still have all sorts of interesting things happen to them.
