"A Wonderful Life" is a leisurely and slow-paced variety show produced by Apple TV. In this show, two regular guests build a small cottage in the countryside and lead a rural lifestyle, working from sunrise to sunset.

The show invites several popular celebrities as flying guests to stay in the small cottage for two days and one night. During their stay, all expenses need to be self-sustained by the celebrities. This setup allows the audience to observe the most authentic side of the celebrities.

This variety show has already completed three seasons and each episode is simultaneously aired on major video streaming apps. It has a broad audience coverage, and before the release of many popular TV series, the creators often visited this show for publicity and promotion.

Whether they are variety show fans or fans of Gu Jinrong, the anticipation skyrocketed upon hearing that Gu Jinrong would soon be flying to "A Wonderful Life."

When Gu Jinrong was in M Country, she was completely devoted to her work on set and rarely appeared on variety shows.

Though she occasionally attended events, most of the time there were restrictions on the number of attendees. Even the materials related to her acting were kept extremely confidential.

Therefore, apart from catching a glimpse of her in the cinema every year, it was quite challenging to see her in ordinary times.

Some netizens jokingly referred to her as the "most expensive woman in the entire country" because it was not easy to meet her; it often required spending money.

So, when everyone learned that she had agreed to participate in a reality show, staying in the small cottage for two days and one night, everyone was both surprised and delighted.

[I knew that Queen Gu cared about “Divine Beings", but I didn't expect that she cared so much. For her first reality show after returning to China, I've already prepared a small bench in advance.]

[Two days and one night, that is two episodes, which is three hours. Is this like buying one and getting two free to watch “Divine Beings"? dog head/]

….

Shen Qingzhi sat on a round chair, holding a phone, swiping through the comments under the variety show's official account. Eight out of ten comments discussed Gu Jinrong.

If they usually just fought as fans, they could still argue back and forth.

Then, this moment was a single-person crushing dominance, very visually felt, showing what an international movie queen's popularity is.

Gu Jinrong's movie fans and traffic are dozens of times more than just fans.

The official announcement guest's Weibo post had millions of shares and likes in just a few hours.

Shen Qingzhi raised her head, looking at Gu Jinrong, who was squatting in front of the bed, packing the suitcase. A hint of pride arose in her heart.

Awesome, my wife.

Is she very expensive? I see her every day.

They were leaving early tomorrow morning, and now the packing work for both of them fell entirely on Gu Jinrong alone, not because Shen Qingzhi deliberately wanted to be lazy.

Not long ago, the two of them squeezed together to tidy up. Clearly, the space was not small, but they were constantly in physical contact, almost accidentally causing sparks to fly.

In the end, to improve the efficiency of cleaning up, Shen Qingzhi had to retreat three feet away with a blushing face and her mobile phone.

When Gu Jinrong is not serious, it's somewhat irresistible.

Even when Gu Jinrong is serious, she is still quite irresistible.

A tall woman bent over, squatting in front of the suitcase.

Her slender and long fingers arranged clothes and objects in the suitcase as if handling some treasured items.

The warm yellow indoor light fell on her shoulders, hair ends, and arms, enveloping her originally cool figure with a layer of warmth.

How can someone look so attractive even while packing a suitcase?

Shen Qingzhi's heart moved casually, leaving her chair, embracing Gu Jinrong from behind, and lightly sniffing at her delicate neck.

"Qingqing..." Gu Jinrong felt the soft warmth on her back and instinctively thought it was her wife hinting at something.

She reached back and grabbed Shen Qingzhi's hand, her voice somewhat hoarse.

The warmth from her fingertips felt burning, and Shen Qingzhi quickly withdrew her hand, tongue twirling in embarrassment.

"Uh... you carry on packing, don't mind me. I just felt that since we have a show tomorrow, I should act like a good colleague, that's why I gave you a hug in advance. Um... that's it, bye~"

After she said that, she ran away in panic.

Gu Jinrong watched the figure rushing away by the door like a little rabbit, a glint flashing in her eyes.

Acting like a good colleague?

The shooting location for the variety show was in a small village near the mountains in S City, requiring a 3-hour flight.

To genuinely showcase the independent living abilities of each guest, assistants were not allowed to accompany them.

As both Shen Qingzhi and Gu Jinrong were departing from H City, they were arranged to be on the same flight.

Shen Qingzhi originally thought since their relationship hadn't been made public yet, they should maintain the act entirely and suggested boarding separately. However, Gu Jinrong caught onto this and gave her a stern lesson.

As the plane took off, the view outside the window displayed blue skies and white clouds. At this moment, Shen Qingzhi was sitting on Gu Jinrong's lap, feeling quite uneasy.

The back rows of the first-class cabin were quite empty. Shen Qingzhi looked at the bright window glass and felt a sense of embarrassment as if exposed in broad daylight, unintentionally casting a layer of mist in her eyes.

"There's still someone in front." Shen Qingzhi whispered softly in Gu Jinrong's ear.

"They've already fallen asleep." Gu Jinrong responded in a similarly hushed tone, her temperament incredibly gentle, contrasting entirely with her actions.

Shen Qingzhi originally wanted to argue a bit more but ended up suppressing her discontent into a soft hum.

This person really...she usually considers the overall situation, so why is she rushing things now?

Tiny beads of sweat appeared on Shen Qingzhi's clear forehead as she couldn't help but grumble and complain in her heart.

It seemed like since the time she packed the suitcase yesterday, this black heart had started acting peculiarly, she was extremely difficult to resist. What was going on?

Shen Qingzhi couldn't figure it out at the moment and didn't have extra time to delve deeper.

With fifteen minutes left before the plane landed, she finally managed to escape from the restrictive embrace and hurriedly tidied up her appearance.

As the plane smoothly touched down, Shen Qingzhi immediately grabbed her suitcase, and sprinted out of the airport, leaving others far behind.

Xiao Zhao, who was sent by the program team to pick them up, noticed Shen Qingzhi rushing and took the initiative to greet her.

“Teacher Shen, did you see the Movie Queen Gu when you got off the plane?"

Shen Qingzhi struggled to conjure up an elegant smile, but upon hearing "Movie Queen Gu," it instantly fell apart.

She seemed like a guilty rabbit caught by the tail and nervously responded, "Wh... what? Movie Queen Gu, we don't have anything!"

Xiao Zhao:?

I didn't ask about your relationship. You both have acted in a movie together, yet there's such avoidance. Looks like the rumors of discord are true. This episode might be difficult.

Seeing Xiao Zhao's complicated expression, Shen Qingzhi realized her reaction had been a bit extreme and quickly tried to rectify it.

"There were too many people at the airport, and I walked too fast without paying attention. Is Gu... Senior Gu also on this flight? How about we wait here for a while."

Xiao Zhao was followed by a camera at this moment, so Shen Qingzhi was particularly attentive to every word she spoke.

"But, your seats are consecutive numbers." Unlike Shen Qingzhi, who carried an idol baggage, Xiao Zhao, the staff member, candidly muttered the truth.

The situation became somewhat awkward. Shen Qingzhi bit her lip, unsure how to respond, silently hoping this scene wouldn't make it into the final edit.

Luckily, Gu Jinrong appeared just in time, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.

Shen Qingzhi looked at the familiar and beautiful face before her, the person she had been trying to avoid just moments ago, now appearing very amiable.

To break the deadlock, she proactively greeted with enthusiasm, "Senior Gu, you've finally arrived! We've missed you so much!"

Gu Jinrong, Xiao Zhao:?

Okay, maybe that's a bit exaggerated.

Shen Qingzhi truly was an actress with strong conviction. Upon realizing her mistake, she quickly adjusted her demeanor, striving to play the role of a polite and humble junior.

She went forward to take Gu Jinrong's suitcase. "Senior Gu, please get in the car. Let me carry your suitcase for you ss~."

Why is it so heavy?!

Shen Qingzhi looked up at Gu Jinrong, disbelief written all over her face: Did you stuff steel bars inside?

Gu Jinrong teased and loosened her grip, seeing her little girl's deflated expression. She then grabbed back the handle, "The suitcase is a bit heavy; I'll handle it myself."

Several people got in the car. Xiao Zhao was responsible for driving, the camera sat in the front passenger seat, while Gu Jinrong and Shen Qingzhi sat in the back seat.

Because of the camera, Gu Jinrong was behaving appropriately at the moment, without breaking the rules.

But Shen Qingzhi, sitting beside her, still didn't feel relaxed at all.

After all, at this moment, they were recording a variety show; they couldn't just doze off as they usually did when getting into the car.

Gu Jinrong usually appeared gentle and spoke sparingly in front of others, so the responsibility of providing conversation material fell solely on Shen Qingzhi's shoulders.

Shen Qingzhi chatted all the way in the car and finally arrived at their destination before losing her voice.

They placed their luggage in a small hut and, when they didn't see the homeowners, they followed the cameraman's guidance to the lakeside.

The residents of the small hut usually exchanged resources for various agricultural activities, which naturally included fishing.

A golden boat was sailing on the lake, and from afar, three people in life jackets could be seen on it.

Before coming here, Shen Qingzhi had done some homework and speculated that the three people on the boat should be the two regular guests of the show, Xue Yitong, and Huang Yuanxi, along with the flying guest, Yu Kexin.

As the boat approached, Shen Qingzhi effortlessly recognized Yu Kexin, a longtime acquaintance, from a distance. And the person rowing beside her appeared to be the most experienced Teacher Huang Yuanxi.

The last person was standing with their back to the shore, looking at the fishing net. Shen Qingzhi looked puzzled: Is Teacher Xue this trendy? When did she dye her hair red?

The boat docked, and Yu Kexin warmly invited Shen Qingzhi and Gu Jinrong aboard.

In this show, none were unknown, and all the guests came from the same drama crew, so they skipped the introductions and went straight to work.

Shen Qingzhi stepped onto the yacht and swayed a bit before steadying herself.

As a junior, she couldn't help but greet the seniors, “Teacher Huang, hello…”

At that moment, the red-haired woman who had been facing away while dealing with the fishing net turned around.

'Teacher Wen Qi?!' Shen Qingzhi was taken aback and almost bit her tongue.
