The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 11
byChapter 11: Green Tea Pei Huaixue
Chapter Eleven
Pei Huaixue, Su Jin, and Gu Yanchen shared one room, while the other two rooms were allocated to Jiang Leran and Zhou Jingyuan, and Xia Mu and Shen Zhimian, respectively. Once the rooms were assigned, everyone took their luggage back to their designated spaces.
The rooms were on the second floor. Although the staircase wasn’t long, Pei Huaixue had too many suitcases.
He looked at the four suitcases behind him—one, two, three, four—and felt a little troubled.
When he first entered the Heartbeat Cabin, he had only carried one box himself, letting the staff move the rest. So, he looked pleadingly at the staff who had set up over a dozen cameras in the villa, hoping they would continue to help, but he only received a cold shake of the head.
Once the participants entered the Heartbeat Cabin, the program officially began recording, and the staff naturally wouldn’t interfere with the recording process casually.
Pei Huaixue wasn’t discouraged. If they wouldn’t help, then he could justifiably ask Gu Yanchen for assistance.
So he turned back to look for Gu Yanchen.
He saw that Gu Yanchen had already walked over to Su Jin and, without waiting for Su Jin to speak, helped him carry his suitcase, striding quickly up the stairs.
Pei Huaixue: …
Damn it, he was too slow.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth, lift one suitcase with his delicate hands, and laboriously start climbing.
He only managed a few steps before he couldn’t continue.
He bent over, holding onto the railing, panting incessantly.
Glistening sweat beaded on his curled eyelashes. With just a slight blink, his eyes filled with mist. His fair skin was flushed crimson from the exertion, and his hands were already chafed and raw.
It hurt so much.
Pei Huaixue hissed softly.
If only his Husband were here. Husband would never let him carry such heavy suitcases.
Whenever this happened, Pei Huaixue missed Gu Minghe terribly.
After resting for a while, he was about to continue upstairs when he heard two sets of footsteps behind him. Jiang Leran and Zhou Jingyuan flanked him. Jiang Leran gave him a bright, handsome smile: “Let me help you.”
Then, without another word, he picked up a suitcase and quickly walked upstairs with light steps.
Zhou Jingyuan refused to be outdone, declaring confidently, “I’ll help you carry all these suitcases, brother.”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, showed off his muscular physique to Pei Huaixue, and his eyes clearly asked, “Well, are you captivated by me?”
Pei Huaixue gave him a fleeting glance.
He found it a bit greasy.
However, Zhou Jingyuan was so captivated by that casual glance that his soul felt snatched away.
Pei Huaixue was too beautiful. Zhou Jingyuan had noticed him the moment he entered the cabin. Seeing that the other man was dressed in designer brands, he clearly looked like a young master from a wealthy family. Zhou Jingyuan’s heart pounded. He thought he had definitely come to the right show. If he could successfully woo Pei Huaixue on the program, wouldn’t he gain both beauty and wealth?
He decided to make a good impression on Pei Huaixue.
So he lifted a suitcase.
“It’s easy… Wait, what did you pack in here? Why is it so heavy??” Zhou Jingyuan lifted it once, then quickly put the suitcase down again, his face turning pale.
Pei Huaixue: …
Elder Brother, did you train those muscles for nothing?
Having lost face in front of Pei Huaixue, Zhou Jingyuan felt embarrassed and wanted to try again, but he still couldn’t lift it. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Pei Huaixue said, “Maybe I should just do it myself.”
He figured if he tried hard, he might be able to finish moving the suitcases before dark…
Zhou Jingyuan refused and insisted on fighting him for the suitcase. Fortunately, Gu Yanchen and Jiang Leran came downstairs at that moment. The two of them each helped Pei Huaixue carry a suitcase upstairs. Only the last small one remained, which Zhou Jingyuan finally had a chance to handle.
Although lifting it was still very strenuous, he could at least manage to get it upstairs.
Xia Mu watched from behind as Jiang Leran and Zhou Jingyuan revolved around Pei Huaixue, and his expression darkened.
–
Back in the room, Su Jin and Gu Yanchen were already waiting for him.
“Xiao Xue, which bed are you sleeping in?” Su Jin asked, pointing to the three beds.
Pei Huaixue didn’t stand on ceremony at all and asked directly, “Brother Chen, which one are you sleeping in?”
Gu Yanchen pointed to the one on the right. Seeing this, Pei Huaixue immediately rushed to the middle bed, which was right next to Gu Yanchen’s, hugging a pillow and refusing to get up. “Brother Su Jin, I’ll sleep here, is that okay?”
He blinked his eyes, looking pitifully as he sought Su Jin’s permission.
How could Su Jin disagree? He could only nod awkwardly.
As soon as he collapsed onto the bed, Pei Huaixue felt saved.
Just carrying the luggage for that short while made him feel utterly exhausted. He had no strength left, his body sinking softly into the plush bedding, his eyes slightly closed, almost drifting off to sleep.
Fortunately, he remembered he was still recording the show and had a mission to complete.
Pei Huaixue opened his eyes, glancing flirtatiously at Gu Yanchen, who was currently unpacking his luggage. A soft, ambiguous moan escaped his throat, “Mmm… I can’t… I’m so tired…”
He rubbed his sore fingers, feigning exhaustion from carrying the luggage.
Pei Huaixue’s voice was already soft and pleasant. When he played the victim now, it made people feel an urge to make him cry.
The sound of his continuous, intermittent moans reached their ears. Su Jin and Gu Yanchen looked up and saw Pei Huaixue lying on the bed, his rosy lips slightly parted, his eyes misty with water, looking weakly at Gu Yanchen.
-Holy crap, what is Pei Huaixue doing?
-Why is he panting for no reason? Did he take a spring aphrodisiac?
-Su Jin is still in the room, and the cameras are rolling. Is he already trying to seduce him?
-Is carrying a suitcase really enough to make him pant like that? And other people clearly helped him carry his boxes up! He’s obviously faking weakness!
-But that soft panting is so tempting. I can’t handle it either. Pei Huaixue, pant more! I love listening!
-Who the hell can resist that?!
The bullet screen was shocked by Pei Huaixue’s provocative actions, and comments flooded the screen.
Gu Yanchen walked over and asked him, “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
“My hands hurt.” Pei Huaixue whined pitifully to Gu Yanchen, “Brother Chen, can you rub them for me?”
Su Jin’s gaze immediately snapped over.
He bit his lip, his expression tense.
Pei Huaixue, sensing Su Jin’s nervousness, couldn’t help but purse his lips, the little devil in his heart grinning wickedly.
Yes, exactly like this. If he made Su Jin jealous, he would succeed.
However, just then, Pei Huaixue’s nose tickled, and he sneezed at an inopportune moment.
The skin under his eyes instantly turned red.
Gu Yanchen: …
Pei Huaixue rubbed his nose, feeling very awkward.
Gu Yanchen frowned, looking seriously at Pei Huaixue.
“Did you wear too little today and catch a cold again? I’ll go make you some cold medicine.”
“No… I don’t have a cold… Achoo…” Pei Huaixue quickly wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and sneezed several more times in quick succession.
Now he had no way to argue.
Gu Yanchen wore an expression that said, “I knew it,” and was about to get medicine for Pei Huaixue, but Su Jin quickly stood up. “I’ll take care of Xiao Xue.”
He lowered his eyes.
Concealing his hidden intentions.
He didn’t want to see Gu Yanchen take care of Pei Huaixue; he didn’t want them to get too close.
“Thank you, Brother Su Jin.” Pei Huaixue didn’t refuse either.
As long as Su Jin was jealous, his goal was achieved.
After Su Jin prepared the cold medicine, he brought it over and fed it to Pei Huaixue. Before long, Pei Huaixue started complaining about the cold again.
“Brother Chen, I forgot to bring long sleeves. Can you lend me some clothes to wear?”
Gu Yanchen looked at the room, which was filled with Pei Huaixue’s suitcases, and said speechlessly, “What did you pack in all those boxes?”
Pei Huaixue felt guilty.
“I didn’t know the weather would suddenly get so cold.”
Of course, he knew. He was doing it on purpose.
Gu Yanchen sighed helplessly and was about to look through his suitcase for clothes Pei Huaixue could wear. Just then, Su Jin said gently, “Xiao Xue, wear mine. Your build is closer to mine. You probably can’t wear Yanchen’s clothes.”
“Okay.”
Pei Huaixue smiled sweetly.
After taking Su Jin’s clothes, he still didn’t forget to quickly snatch Gu Yanchen’s jacket, which the latter was preparing to put back in his suitcase.
Gu Yanchen: …
Su Jin: …
Su Jin’s original intention was to prevent Pei Huaixue from wearing Gu Yanchen’s clothes, but Pei Huaixue wanted both. Su Jin’s plan failed. He scrutinized Pei Huaixue and Gu Yanchen, feeling sour and unhappy.
Pei Huaixue, however, was ecstatic.
Feeling Su Jin’s continuous jealousy, he kept receiving Points notifications in his mind.
Sure enough, participating in a dating show made earning Points as easy as turning his hand over.
Pei Huaixue’s actions naturally drew dissatisfaction from the GuSu Shippers, and the bullet screen was filled with curses.
-Is Pei Huaixue sick? Is he deliberately trying to disgust Su Jin?!
-Su Jin is too gentle and kind. If someone was being this green tea to me, I would have slapped them already!
-Ahhh, I can’t stand it! Who can kick this green tea Pei Huaixue out of the cabin??
-Gu Yanchen, aren’t you going to take your clothes back? You just let him wear them? Only Su Jin should wear your clothes!!
Gu Yanchen was clearly shocked by Pei Huaixue’s actions as well.
He stared intently at Pei Huaixue with a gaze that seemed to want to see right through him. Pei Huaixue suddenly felt a chill down his spine from the Elder Brother’s oppressive aura, making him afraid.
“Come with me.”
Suddenly, Gu Yanchen said to Pei Huaixue in a cold voice.
“Huh?”
Pei Huaixue was stunned for a second. Before he could react, Gu Yanchen grabbed him by the collar and easily lifted him off the bed.
In front of Su Jin, Gu Yanchen pulled him into the bathroom, and the door slammed shut with a bang.
-Holy crap, holy crap, what is Gu Yanchen doing?!
-There are no cameras in the bathroom. What does he intend to do to Pei Huaixue in there?
-No way, Su Jin is still watching. Are they hooking up already?
Su Jin was also bewildered by this scene.
He stared blankly at the closed bathroom door, his chest aching with a sour feeling.
–
Inside the bathroom, Gu Yanchen stood with his arms crossed, watching Pei Huaixue with a composed expression.
“Explain yourself. What’s going on with you?”
“What’s going on?” Pei Huaixue feigned ignorance. “Elder Brother, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Trying to play dumb with me?” Gu Yanchen didn’t fall for it. “Why did you come to participate in a dating show for no reason?”
Pei Huaixue lowered his head guiltily, almost tearing his fingers apart from picking at them.
“I came to the dating show to fall in love, of course.”
“Fall in love? Does Gu Minghe know?” Gu Yanchen raised an eyebrow.
“He… he can’t control me.” Pei Huaixue blinked. “We’re already divorced.”
Gu Yanchen took a deep breath. “Fine, I don’t object to you looking for a second spring after divorcing Gu Minghe, but what’s the meaning of constantly circling around Su Jin and me? I don’t think you like me at all. Or are you interested in Su Jin?”
Interested in Su Jin?
Pei Huaixue was speechless at Gu Yanchen’s thought process.
Gu Yanchen, however, thought it was increasingly possible.
Thinking of how Su Jin had just fed Pei Huaixue medicine and offered him clothes, Gu Yanchen felt uncomfortable.
“You can date whoever you want, but stay away from Su Jin,” Gu Yanchen warned.
Pei Huaixue saw that he had misunderstood and didn’t explain. After all, his mission was to create misunderstandings between the Protagonist Gong and Shou. After a long silence, he suddenly looked up, staring brightly at Gu Yanchen, and gave him a mysterious smile.
“Elder Brother, you never know.”
Gu Yanchen frowned. “What kind of mischief are you planning now? You need to behave yourself lately. Haven’t you seen what people are saying about you online? Gu Minghe hired water armies to suppress comments, but they can’t keep up with how fast you hit the Trending Search.”
“Huh?” Pei Huaixue was genuinely stunned this time.
So Gu Minghe had been doing all this for him behind the scenes.
After Gu Yanchen left, Pei Huaixue looked at himself in the bathroom mirror.
Looking at the pale figure in the mirror, his expression was complex. His heart felt a surge of warmth remembering Gu Minghe. He raised his hand and messed up his hair a little, then lightly pinched his collarbone. After creating some suspicious red marks on his body, he finally left the bathroom and returned to the camera’s view.
As a result, everyone saw that after Pei Huaixue and Gu Yanchen hid in the bathroom, Pei Huaixue emerged with messy hair, disheveled clothes, and ambiguous red marks on his neck…
-Oh my god, did Pei Huaixue and Gu Yanchen actually do it in the bathroom just now??
-Explosive, this is too explosive!
-But they were only in there for five minutes. Did they finish already? Is CEO Gu that quick?
-Maybe they just kissed his neck (In any case, CEO Gu can’t be a quick man)
-Damn, damn, damn, Pei Huaixue is too shameless!! My heart aches for my Su Jin!!
The bullet screen instantly erupted.
At the same time, #PeiHuaixueAndGuYanchenBathroomDOI# also hit the Trending Search.
Backstage at a gala rehearsal, Gu Minghe was preparing for the evening’s program recording.
Suddenly, he overheard a conversation between staff members behind him.
“Did you see the Trending Search? Is the thing about Gu Yanchen and Pei Huaixue true?”
“It’s almost certainly true. Pei Huaixue is chasing Gu Yanchen onto the dating show to declare his sovereignty. They even did it in the bathroom. Tsk tsk, they couldn’t hold back, could they? So passionate while still on the show. I just feel sorry for Su Jin.”
Gu Minghe’s calm gaze swept over them faintly.
The staff members quickly shut up, remembering the relationship between Gu Yanchen and Gu Minghe.
Gu Minghe said nothing.
He continued to record the program calmly.
Then, the moment he stepped off the stage, he looked grim and said to the assistant following him, “Give me your phone.”
The assistant was actually hesitant to show Gu Minghe the Trending Search, but he knew the truth couldn’t be hidden, so he reluctantly handed over the phone.
After reading the Trending Search, Gu Minghe’s expression didn’t change much. His finger scrolled through every comment on the platform. After a long time, he said, “Continue to have people suppress the comments.”
“Yes, yes, sir,” the assistant said nervously.
“Contact the dating show Pei Huaixue is participating in.”
“Huh?” The assistant was stunned.
“I want to participate.”
