    Chapter 39: Minghe Overturns Snow

    Gu Minghe’s pat on Pei Huaixue’s butt wasn’t hard, but the tingling sensation made Pei Huaixue’s body tremble, almost making him forget the next steps of the dance.

    Before he could recover, Gu Minghe’s large hands wrapped around his waist from behind, slowly moving upwards, lightly stroking his chest as if electrified, before finally gripping his slender, long neck.

    Pei Huaixue instinctively tilted his chin up, exposing his fragile, sensitive Adam’s apple to Gu Minghe’s touch.

    His lips were slightly parted, breathing softly, his eyes flushed with a gorgeous crimson, and his gaze became hazy.

    He couldn’t remember how he finished the rest of the dance; he had completely become a puppet controlled by someone else. Whatever Gu Minghe instructed, he followed. When it ended, he collapsed softly into Gu Minghe’s arms, utterly drained of strength.

    His legs were still trembling slightly. Blushing, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is this how this dance is supposed to be performed?”

    He distinctly remembered that during rehearsal, the movements weren’t this suggestive!

    He felt like he had been touched all over, leaving him barely able to stand. Gu Minghe, that big bad guy, must have been secretly taking advantage of him again!

    Gu Minghe chuckled softly. “Baby, this is how it’s done. You must have forgotten the moves since you haven’t danced it much after learning it.”

    “Really?” Pei Huaixue stared blankly at Gu Minghe, starting to wonder if he had truly wronged his Husband.

    Xiao Shu covered his face nearby.

    Silly Xuexue, he’s lying to you!

    Although that couple’s dance had some ambiguous movements, they were all designed based on dance fundamentals. They were nothing like how Gu Minghe performed it, which looked like he was about to devour Pei Huaixue whole.

    – CEO Gu is too wicked, tricking my Xuexue again!

    – Silly baby, run! The big bad wolf is going to eat you up!

    – I can’t help but feel sorry for Xuexue’s little butt in advance.

    – No wonder Pei Huaixue doesn’t like Gu Minghe, haha, so this is how he usually bullies Xuexue. Smart Xuexue, stay away from bad men.

    – I will engrave this segment of the couple’s dance onto a disc and have my grandson burn it for me after I die!

    – CEO Gu is so cunning, fighting and snatching. Compared to Pei Huaixue and Gu Yanchen’s couple’s dance, this is worlds apart. Pei Huaixue hasn’t even fallen for him yet? How good must Gu Yanchen be?

    – Sob, I envy Gu Minghe. Why does he get to eat so well? I want to dance with Xuexue too, *swoon* *swoon*.

    – This proves that in the previous couple’s dance, Gu Yanchen was holding Pei Huaixue back. Pei Huaixue actually has talent for dancing!

    – Watching it once isn’t enough. Can they dance it again??

    As soon as the couple’s dance ended, the comments section went wild.

    Many people hadn’t followed the live broadcast before and hadn’t seen Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue’s rehearsal.

    They had tuned in from the previous broadcast, and their impression of Pei Huaixue’s dancing skills was stuck on the comical couple’s dance with Gu Yanchen.

    So, when Gu Minghe first announced he would dance with Pei Huaixue, they didn’t have high expectations; they were just there for the CP moments. But when the dance officially started, they were stunned.

    Pei Huaixue’s dancing was actually this good?

    His movements, rhythm, and flow were all spot on. His waist was incredibly flexible, and his figure was perfect for dancing!

    His beautiful face, paired with his pure and innocent eyes, added a unique layer of seductive charm.

    The subsequent interaction with Gu Minghe made viewers blush fiercely.

    This couple’s dance was too intimate, too inseparable. Their gazes were practically pulling threads. People wished they could move a bed over and ask them to dance on it instead.

    – So shippable! This is too shippable! Ahhh, is this the chemistry of childhood sweethearts??

    – People who grew up together are just different. Their coordination is seamless!

    – Questioning CEO Gu, understanding CEO Gu, becoming CEO Gu.

    – No wonder Gu Minghe likes Pei Huaixue so much. If I had such a beautiful, easily fooled childhood sweetheart, I’d want to marry him home too.

    – Everyone used to say Pei Huaixue was a wicked green tea, but now he clearly looks like a naive sweetheart! Where is the wickedness?

    – Exactly! Pei Huaixue just likes Gu Yanchen and is pursuing him. Gu Yanchen hasn’t officially confirmed his relationship with Su Jin, so why can’t Pei Huaixue pursue him? How does that make him a green tea homewrecker? I think he’s just too innocent, which is why he doesn’t hide his little intentions.

    – The childhood sweetheart is too easy to trick, no wonder Gu Minghe wants to take him home and protect him properly.

    After these two live broadcasts today, Pei Huaixue gained countless fans.

    First, his PK with Dai Xiaotao attracted many onlookers looking for entertainment. Now, the live broadcast with Gu Minghe exposed his identity as Gu Minghe’s childhood sweetheart, which also earned him favor from Gu Minghe’s solo fans.

    The couple’s dance with Gu Minghe made everyone realize how charming Pei Huaixue truly was. Many were captivated by him and began to envy Gu Minghe.

    The old fans also felt that Pei Huaixue gave them a lot of face today, solidifying their loyalty completely.

    Pei Huaixue’s Douyin account gained nearly a million followers in one day!

    When the broadcast ended, Pei Huaixue couldn’t stop smiling as he watched the constant notifications of new followers popping up.

    Wow, he was also a millionaire minor influencer now!

    Heh, let Dai Xiaotao and Xia Mu try to look down on him now.

    As for Xu Ran, she must be green with regret.

    Pei Huaixue had read plenty of face-slapping novels and short dramas. He couldn’t help but imagine his rivals looking furious and twisted, which made him feel completely satisfied.

    Walking out of the live broadcast room, Xia Mu, who had been watching the entire time, instinctively backed away when he saw Pei Huaixue emerge.

    He felt like a clown right now.

    He couldn’t help but recall the things he had said to Pei Huaixue when Gu Minghe first arrived at the villa. The memory made his toes curl with embarrassment.

    Gu Minghe was actually Pei Huaixue’s childhood sweetheart?

    What was going on?!

    He hadn’t understood why Gu Minghe’s attitude towards Pei Huaixue was so special, but now he completely got it.

    They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and Gu Minghe secretly liked Pei Huaixue. Of course he would treat him well!

    And he had rushed to mock Pei Huaixue. His face felt thoroughly slapped.

    The comments section laughed heartily when they saw Xia Mu.

    They were all mocking his previous behavior. There were even marketing accounts that specifically edited together the moment Gu Minghe admitted Pei Huaixue was his childhood sweetheart and Xia Mu’s “green tea” comments towards Pei Huaixue.

    As soon as the video was posted, it quickly surpassed 100,000 likes. The comments were filled with people laughing at Xia Mu and shipping the couple.

    [GuPei Super Topic]

    [Oh my god, today was too shippable! Too many sweet moments, I can’t keep up!]

    [I apologize for previously cursing the Childhood Sweetheart Bro. I didn’t realize I was cursing our own main character in a roundabout way!]

    [So there was no white moonlight childhood sweetheart. It was always Pei Huaixue. The person who has always lived in Gu Minghe’s heart has only ever been him. Who understands this? I’m practically swooning!]

    [Sisters, let’s come up with a name for our stunning CP! I’ll start: How about Minghe Overturns Snow?] (T/N: Minghe Fan Xue)

    [Good, good, good, that sounds great. I vote for Minghe Overturns Snow.]

    [Hehe, Gu Minghe overturning Pei Huaixue, that sounds delicious! Yummy, I support it too!]

    In the super topic, everyone enthusiastically discussed CP names. In the end, they all agreed that Minghe Overturns Snow was excellent and selected it as their CP name.

    At this moment, a solo fan who was secretly shipping the couple in the super topic saw the CP name and quickly backed out. They tagged “Minghe Overturns Snow” on their Weibo.

    “@Minghe Overturns Snow, buddy, your ID clashes with a CP name. You should change it quickly, or it’ll be awkward.”

    This Weibo post immediately attracted other Gu Minghe solo fans.

    There was no helping it; the ID Minghe Overturns Snow was too famous in Gu Minghe’s fandom!

    It had been a long time since they had seen Brother Xue, though. They didn’t know where he went, and he hadn’t posted any more Weibo updates about dreaming of Gu Minghe. Had he stopped being a fan?

    The solo fans felt a bit lonely and couldn’t resist using the name clash as an excuse to tease Minghe Overturns Snow again.

    “Could it be that Brother Xue’s real name also has the character ‘Xue’ in it, and his imagination just happened to match the Gu Pei CP fans, leading to this perfect ID clash?”

    “I wonder if Brother Xue is secretly hiding under his covers and crying right now. Our boss has someone he likes. Wouldn’t this dream-man be crying himself to death?”

    “Could he have been so angry about this that he quit the fandom?!”

    “What can he do? He’s not CEO Gu’s childhood sweetheart. No matter how angry he is, CEO Gu doesn’t know him.”

    As they teased, they couldn’t help but start mocking him.

    However, despite their dry throats from talking, the Weibo account Minghe Overturns Snow did not reply to anything.

    Because the owner was busy recording the show and hadn’t logged into this side account for a long time.

    Naturally, he didn’t know what was happening on Weibo.

    The full day of couple live broadcasts finally ended as the sky darkened.

    Everyone who participated in the broadcast was exhausted.

    Fortunately, it was Shen Zhimian and Jiang Leran’s turn for chores today, so everyone just had to wait beautifully for dinner.

    Before long, the steaming hot food was ready and placed on the table. Jiang Leran called everyone to eat.

    After a period of culinary practice, those who couldn’t cook before were now making decent meals, and the taste had reached an acceptable level—at least it wasn’t inedible.

    Shen Zhimian looked at everyone nervously. “Is it… is it delicious?”

    He was a long-time takeout user and rarely cooked himself. Every time it was his turn to cook, he was nervous, afraid that everyone would dislike it or get sick.

    Pei Huaixue picked up a piece of spare rib, took a bite, and said with great satisfaction, “Zhimian, your cooking has improved so much. It’s delicious!”

    “That’s good.” Shen Zhimian sighed in relief.

    With Pei Huaixue’s praise, he wasn’t so nervous anymore.

    Everyone started eating. The absence of one person in the villa felt a little strange at first, but now everyone thought it was quite nice.

    Without Zhou Jingyuan’s greasy comments during every meal, the world was peaceful.

    However, for some reason, Su Jin and Gu Yanchen, who usually had a good relationship, were sitting far apart and weren’t speaking. A layer of ice seemed to have formed between them, chilling the atmosphere and freezing everyone around them.

    Shen Zhimian asked with some concern, “Su Jin, why are you and CEO Gu sitting so far apart?”

    Su Jin looked a little uncomfortable. “I didn’t notice; I just sat here.”

    Gu Yanchen tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

    Pei Huaixue, however, was very happy.

    Su Jin was jealous!

    He hadn’t even done anything, yet the System Points notifications kept pouring in.

    Pei Huaixue happily ate his meal and subconsciously served a handful of vegetables to Gu Minghe.

    Unexpectedly, Gu Minghe intercepted the dish halfway, turned, and dropped it into Gu Yanchen’s bowl. “Elder Brother, Little Xue served this for you.”

    Pei Huaixue: Huh?

    Gu Yanchen’s brow twitched.

    He endured it, but finally couldn’t help but say, “I’m not blind.”
