    Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Still Not Waking Up

    Chapter Fifty-Eight

    The moment Gu Minghe’s words fell, everyone looked at him with shocked expressions.

    Did he mean what they thought he meant?

    Shen Zhimian rushed forward to remind him, “Gu Film Emperor, the doctor meant a family member who is on the same household register as Xiaoxue. You two are just dating and calling each other Husband and Wife; that doesn’t count.”

    Gu Minghe said coldly, “Pei Huaixue and I are legally married. We have our marriage certificate.”

    His tone was serious and his expression solemn, without the slightest hint of joking. With the words already spoken, anyone who still didn’t understand was an idiot.

    Gu Yanchen nodded, “Xiaoxue has indeed registered his marriage with Minghe. The person the internet referred to as Minghe’s secretly married partner is Xiaoxue.”

    What?

    Now everyone was dumbfounded.

    Shen Zhimian finally processed the information and felt like an idiot for having just tried to remind Gu Minghe. Jiang Leran and Xia Mu were even more stunned, especially Xia Mu. Realizing what he had done, his mind was filled with ‘it’s over, it’s over.’ It was his fault for calling Pei Huaixue a mistress, which stimulated him into suddenly fainting. Now, suddenly learning the true relationship between Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe, he was completely panicked.

    Gu Minghe, who was so protective of Pei Huaixue, would he let him off the hook?

    Xia Mu felt his future was utterly dark at that moment.

    After receiving Gu Minghe’s affirmative answer, the medical staff said nothing more, simply asking Gu Minghe to follow them into the ambulance.

    The vehicle quickly drove away from the villa, heading towards the nearest hospital.

    The netizens in the live stream were also bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

    First, Pei Huaixue fainted, and then Gu Minghe revealed his relationship with Pei Huaixue. Everything was too sudden!

    They couldn’t process it at all.

    -Oh my god, does that mean Pei Huaixue isn’t a mistress, but the legitimate spouse?!

    -Gu Minghe’s secretly married partner is actually Pei Huaixue?? I’m stunned.

    -Who understands the shock of hearing him say, “I am his Husband”?

    -Wait, if they’re married, why did they come on a dating show? I really don’t understand what’s going on.

    -Ahhh, I don’t care, I ship the real deal!!

    -All those people who were calling Pei Huaixue a mistress, come out and apologize!!

    Netizens flooded the screen with comments, and the Weibo Trending Search quickly climbed to the top spot.

    The top ten trending searches were dominated by the couple. Netizens declared that the most dramatic gossip they had consumed this year was related to Pei Huaixue!

    Whether it was Pei Huaixue chasing after Gu Yanchen, causing a huge scandal, or the sudden revelation that Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe were married, the reversals were completely unexpected.

    It was impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

    Netizens felt so seasoned by the experience that they felt they could probably accept anything else that might be revealed.

    Besides the gossip, everyone was also very concerned about Pei Huaixue’s health, hoping that nothing serious had happened to him.

    “Xiaoxue always looks very frail. His health must not be great, but suddenly fainting is really scary.”

    “Look at Gu Minghe’s expression; he was terrified. Praying that Xuexue is okay.”

    At this moment, Gu Minghe’s studio released a new statement.

    @GuMingheStudio: Mr. Gu Minghe and Mr. Pei Huaixue registered their marriage a year ago. They are a legal husband-and-husband couple. Furthermore, Gu Minghe has only ever married and registered with Pei Huaixue. The online claims that Pei Huaixue is a mistress are pure fabrication.

    The decision to keep the marriage secret was Gu Minghe’s alone and has nothing to do with Pei Huaixue. We apologize to all fans for not considering your feelings. If you feel angry, please direct your anger at Gu Minghe, but do not involve innocent people.

    The post included a photo of the red marriage certificate and a wedding photo. The two stood before the camera, smiling radiantly and happily.

    Soon, this public Weibo post had tens of thousands of shares. Some fans were angry and upset, while others were touched and wished the couple happiness.

    Shippers, while happy, were mostly worried.

    After all, Pei Huaixue was still in the hospital. Several hours had passed since he fainted, and there was no update confirming his safety. No one knew how he was doing.

    In the Gu-Pei super topic, shippers posted various giveaway announcements, praying for Pei Huaixue and hoping he would recover quickly.

    Under Gu Minghe’s studio post, many of Pei Huaixue’s fans were also asking for an update.

    Whether good or bad, they needed to say something, right?

    In front of the hospital emergency room.

    A doctor in a white coat pushed the door open and walked out. Before the doctor could speak, Gu Minghe rushed forward and anxiously asked, “Doctor, how is the person inside?”

    “You are Pei Huaixue’s family member, correct?”

    “I am.”

    The doctor shook his head, “Mr. Pei’s condition is somewhat strange. We conducted a full body examination and found no serious illness, apart from some physical weakness. However, he remains continuously unconscious, and we are at a loss.”

    “What did you say?” Gu Minghe was stunned, his emotions running high. “But how can a perfectly fine person fall into a coma? Is there something that wasn’t checked?”

    “Please, family member, try not to get agitated. If you don’t believe us, you can take the patient to another hospital for examination.”

    Hearing this, Gu Minghe took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down slowly.

    He did not press the doctor further but quickly arranged for the best hospital in Lancheng to come and transfer Pei Huaixue.

    Only after arriving at the new hospital did Gu Minghe have time to check his phone.

    By now, his phone had been blown up with calls from friends and family asking about Pei Huaixue’s condition.

    “Son, how is Xiaoxue? What exactly happened? Which hospital are you at? We’re coming over right now,” Zhong Manzhu messaged him.

    Pei Jing had also called more than ten times, clearly frantic with worry.

    Gu Minghe rubbed his eyes tiredly and replied to them one by one.

    An inexplicable sense of unease settled in his heart.

    He recalled the strange System from before, the mission he had to complete, and the setting that they lived inside a book.

    In the book, his wife was the Vicious Cannon Fodder.

    Cannon Fodder… the kind destined to die.

    Gu Minghe’s heart gave a violent lurch. He looked at Pei Huaixue’s fragile, delicate face on the hospital bed. A piercing pain seeped into his limbs and bones, and a chill ran down his spine. When he came back to his senses, he was drenched in cold sweat, his breathing nearly seizing up.

    Pei Huaixue will die…

    Pei Huaixue will die?!

    Gu Minghe was terrified by his own thought. He gently held Pei Huaixue’s hand. The hand in his palm was colder than usual. He tightened his grip, trying to warm Pei Huaixue’s hand, but no matter how much he tried, it remained cold… like a beautiful, icy corpse…

    Yet, Pei Huaixue was still breathing.

    He just wouldn’t wake up.
