The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 55
byChapter 55: Can’t Hold It In
Chapter Fifty-Five
Because this segment was a benefit for the top supporters, the hosts, after inviting the major influencers and streamers onto the stage, read from their cue cards: “To thank all the top supporters for their dedication to their respective streamers, we will now play a small game. The game is simple: everyone, please pair up with the streamer you support, and within the allotted time, you must share and eat one chocolate stick together.”
“The pair with the shortest remaining length wins!”
“The winning pair will receive the platform’s exclusive title and medal for ‘Best Streaming Partner’!”
The prize was rather stingy, but fortunately, the people present were not short on money; they were looking for emotional value, so no one complained.
The top supporters were all highly anticipating the chance to play such an intimate game with their favorite streamers.
The game began.
The supporters were eager and confident, all aiming for first place. However, they had overestimated themselves. The moment they faced their streamers, many became so nervous they started sweating.
This type of biscuit-biting game required both people to be fully focused, look into each other’s eyes, and then bite closer little by little. If they didn’t manage the distance well, their lips would touch.
For many, this was their first meeting. Kissing right away, even accidentally during a game, seemed inappropriate.
Not to mention, this was a public event. With so many people watching, if someone genuinely took advantage of a streamer, fans would still curse them out, regardless of whether they were a top supporter or not.
Therefore, everyone played the game with extreme caution.
Just as they were about to breach the safety distance, they would politely stop and snap the biscuit.
However, on Xu Ran’s side, his top supporter bit forward recklessly, looking determined to kiss Xu Ran. This startled Xu Ran, who nervously snapped the chocolate stick. The supporter, having failed to kiss him, looked extremely displeased.
Xu Ran didn’t dare look at him and quickly turned his head toward Pei Huaixue.
Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe stood face-to-face. Pei Huaixue’s pearly white teeth gently bit the chocolate stick, feeding it into Gu Minghe’s mouth.
Gu Minghe’s gaze deepened. He stared intently at Pei Huaixue, his aggressive eyes seeming to devour the person before him as he slowly bit the chocolate stick in his mouth.
The host’s countdown echoed in their ears.
Yet, the two were unhurried, as if savoring a delicacy together, sharing each other’s breath.
Their eyes intertwined; they saw only each other’s reflection.
Everything around them seemed to cease to exist.
As the chocolate stick grew shorter, their lips drew closer. The moment their noses touched, Gu Minghe captured Pei Huaixue’s lips, forcing him to open his mouth, and hooked out the tiny remaining stub of the chocolate stick from inside.
Because he had been biting the stick, Pei Huaixue’s mouth had secreted a lot of moist saliva. When his mouth was suddenly pried open, he didn’t have time to swallow, and the saliva he couldn’t hold in trickled down the corner of his lips.
When their lips parted from Gu Minghe’s, a thin strand of saliva stretched between them.
This scene stunned everyone.
While others were playing the game politely and friendly, this pair went straight for a kiss!
Was this the level of intimacy for a real couple?
“Ahhh, Pei Huaixue looks so suggestive! He looks like he was kissed senseless!”
“Pei Huaixue’s mouth is so small. When he was eating that chocolate stick, I couldn’t help but have a visual hallucination…”
“Me too… such a small mouth, he couldn’t even hold in that little bit of drool. If it were something else, wouldn’t he…”
“CEO Gu looks huge. Baby must have a hard time usually!”
Just eating a chocolate stick led to endless speculation.
If anyone else had done this, they would have been slammed for sexual harassment. But this was Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue. They were burning up the dating show, childhood friends and lovers—a kiss during a game was perfectly normal!
When the game ended, it was no surprise that Pei Huaixue’s group won again.
They had the shortest remaining chocolate stick.
Holding the rather ugly “Best Streaming Partner” medal given by the organizers, the two returned backstage.
Xu Ran followed Pei Huaixue, trying to curry favor. Seeing Pei Huaixue reach for his bag, he eagerly stepped up, intending to help carry it. Before his hand could touch the bag, someone beat him to it.
Gu Minghe smoothly took Pei Huaixue’s bag and slung it over his own shoulder.
Xu Ran’s effort was thwarted.
He then saw that Pei Huaixue seemed thirsty, so he eagerly went to pour water.
However, Gu Minghe had already pulled a water bottle from his backpack and was serving his Husband water.
Pei Huaixue took a few gulps, then looked at Xu Ran with a confused expression, asking, “What are you doing?”
Xu Ran hadn’t expected the usually aloof Gu Minghe to be such a lapdog in front of Pei Huaixue.
He couldn’t even out-suck-up Gu Minghe…
Was there any justice left in the world?
Xu Ran’s expression twisted for a moment, then he forced a smile: “Xiaoxue, I was wrong about what happened before. I sincerely apologize again. I’ve realized my mistake. Can you please stop being angry with me? Let’s make up. I still want to be friends with you.”
“But I don’t want to,” Pei Huaixue blinked. “When I was useful to you, you wanted to be friends, and when I wasn’t, you kicked me away. Xu Ran, do you think I’m stupid? Why do you assume I would forgive you?”
“I…” Xu Ran was somewhat distraught. “But we used to be so close! And you were the one who hid things from me first. If you had told me earlier that you and Gu Minghe were so close, I wouldn’t have cut ties with you after seeing those online rumors. You know how hard it is for me to build an account…”
“None of that is an excuse for you to arbitrarily hurt Pei Huaixue,” Gu Minghe interjected coldly. “Pei Huaixue doesn’t need a hypocritical friend like you.”
“He has me, and that’s enough.”
When Gu Minghe got jealous, he was always unrestrained.
Although he wouldn’t interfere with Pei Huaixue’s friendships, the thought of his Husband always shopping, eating, and playing with Xu Ran when he wasn’t home made him unhappy.
He wanted all of Pei Huaixue’s time to belong to him.
Everything belonged to him.
Breaking up with Xu Ran was truly excellent.
Gu Minghe held Pei Huaixue’s hand and, in a display of possessiveness, pulled Pei Huaixue away right in front of Xu Ran.
Xu Ran: …
“Pei Huaixue!”
Xu Ran couldn’t help but call out again.
However, Pei Huaixue didn’t look back.
Xu Ran’s eyes turned red, and he secretly clenched his fists.
Why, why did they have to treat him this way? He only made one mistake—was that so unforgivable?!
–
After the fan meeting, there were two hours of signing and photo opportunities.
Some posters of Pei Huaixue were prepared at the venue. Fans could buy a signing ticket, receive a poster, and line up for the autograph session.
Pei Huaixue was already extremely popular, and today’s offline event attracted even more fans.
People who weren’t his fans instantly converted and rushed to line up.
In no time, the queue for Pei Huaixue stretched into a long line, while the other streamers looked somewhat overshadowed.
Dai Xiaotao was the most tragic.
Not only did he fail to gain fans today, but he also lost a significant number.
There were only a handful of people in his line, and he finished signing quickly.
Pei Huaixue, however, was signing until his hand ached and still wasn’t done. After signing each one, he had to smile and take a photo with the fan. After only half an hour, he was already tired.
Being a celebrity was too difficult!
He remembered Gu Minghe signing autographs for hours without changing his expression. He had only been doing this for a short while, and his back was sore, his waist ached, and his hand was cramping.
He put down his pen and stretched.
At that moment, a pair of warm hands rested on his waist and gently massaged him.
Gu Minghe had walked up behind him at some point, rubbing his waist and kneading his shoulders and arms. “Are your hands very sore?”
Pei Huaixue rubbed his cheek against Gu Minghe’s palm, whining, “Sore~”
Gu Minghe’s eyes were full of tenderness.
He held Pei Huaixue’s fingers, massaging them one by one.
The fans waiting in line didn’t dare interrupt, watching them excitedly and quietly shipping them.
Fans in the live stream were also going crazy; there was too much to ship today!
They couldn’t keep up!
After a while, Gu Minghe moved a stool and sat down beside Pei Huaixue.
He addressed all the fans in line: “For the rest of the signing session, Pei Huaixue and I will sign together. He only needs to write the character ‘Xue,’ and I will complete the rest for him. What do you think?”
Huh?
They could do signings this way?
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement!
Of course, they could!
Having CEO Gu help sign was a stroke of luck!
A single signature would contain both Pei Huaixue’s handwriting and Gu Minghe’s handwriting—it was equivalent to a couple’s joint signature. The fans were incredibly satisfied.
With his Husband helping, Pei Huaixue’s subsequent signing session became much easier.
He only needed to quickly sign the character “Xue,” and the remaining two characters were handed over to Gu Minghe to sign. The speed of the signing immediately picked up.
As for photos, Pei Huaixue couldn’t worry about that anymore and just focused on signing.
However, the fans were understanding. They found their own angles and simply took “three-person photos” with their CP, getting their fill of shipping!
When the two hours ended, there were still some people left in the queue.
Ignoring the staff’s attempts to stop him, Pei Huaixue stayed to finish signing for everyone remaining.
They had waited in line for so long; it would be too disappointing if they didn’t get an autograph.
After signing the very last one, Pei Huaixue quickly stood up and complained tearfully to Gu Minghe, “My butt is flat from sitting!”
Gu Minghe chuckled, reached out, and lightly patted Pei Huaixue’s cute rear. He whispered in his ear, “I’ll help you rub it tonight. I guarantee it’ll be perky again.”
Pei Huaixue’s face flushed. “I don’t want you to rub it.”
Netizens still watching the live stream faintly heard words like “perky,” “butt,” and “rub,” and they desperately wanted to turn up the volume to hear what the young couple was saying.
-Why does CEO Gu sound like he’s being a hooligan?
-Did he just slap Pei Huaixue’s butt!!
-Cameraman, you’re failing us! Such an important moment, and you didn’t give a close-up!
-Hehe, I have a feeling Xuexue’s butt is going to suffer tonight~
