The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 17
byChapter 17 Wearing Husband’s Jacket
Chapter Seventeen
Under the flowering tree, pale pink petals fluttered down, landing on the figure that appeared far too thin and frail.
Pei Huaixue was wearing a black jacket that clearly didn’t belong to him, draped loosely over his shoulders. The white shirt underneath also looked somewhat oversized, its hem swaying in the wind, revealing a small section of his soft, snow-white waist.
The soft flesh around his waist was tinged with a delicate pink due to the cold wind, trembling slightly.
Gu Minghe’s gaze moved away from the waist, fixating intently on the black jacket.
That was Gu Yanchen’s jacket.
In an instant, his eyes grew darker and more intense.
It wasn’t until he heard a series of uncontrollable light coughs that his thoughts were finally pulled back.
Pei Huaixue, standing before him, clutched the jacket tightly with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, trying to suppress the urge to cough. However, the tickle was relentless.
The light coughs quickly escalated into violent gasping.
He coughed until his face was flushed red, his eye corners stained with a faint pink, making him look as fragile and beautiful as colored glass.
His cheeks, which used to have a little flesh, were now so thin they looked almost translucent, as if a light touch would feel bony.
Gu Minghe’s heart clenched abruptly.
How could his wife, whom he had taken such good care of, have lost so much weight after only a month apart?
Wearing the ridiculous mascot costume, he hurried forward, clumsily trying to pat Pei Huaixue’s back with his large, furry paw. But Pei Huaixue’s body stiffened, and enduring his physical discomfort, he once again increased the distance between himself and Gu Minghe.
The large paw’s expected landing failed, making the gesture look quite comical.
The atmosphere solidified, and silence spread between the two.
Pei Huaixue lowered his eyes, biting his lip, his beautiful face cold and stubborn.
His body clearly indicated his resistance to any contact with Gu Minghe.
Gu Minghe withdrew his hand, clenching his palm tightly beneath the heavy mascot costume. His fingertips dug into his flesh, the sharp pain helping him maintain a sliver of composure. His eyes returned to normal, and he quietly watched Pei Huaixue.
Suddenly, he let out a short, soft laugh.
Swallowing the bitterness at the back of his throat, he said to Pei Huaixue, “Didn’t you want to go on a date? How can we continue if you stand so far away?”
Pei Huaixue’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. “No, I think this distance is just right.”
“CEO Gu has so many fans. If I get too close to you, your fans will probably scold me.”
He seemed to suddenly start caring about his dwindling public image, moving his stiff steps to put even more distance between himself and Gu Minghe.
Gu Minghe: …
And so, their date proceeded under this bizarre atmosphere.
Gu Minghe went to change his clothes and returned with a bottle of water in his hand.
Just as he was about to hand the water to Pei Huaixue, the person in front of him reacted as if facing a great enemy. If Gu Minghe hadn’t called out in time, Pei Huaixue probably would have run off again.
Gu Minghe sighed helplessly, “I just wanted you to drink some water.”
“You, you put it on the ground, and then walk away. I’ll go get it myself,” Pei Huaixue instinctively instructed Gu Minghe.
Gu Minghe’s expression didn’t change. He placed the water on the ground and obediently walked to a distance that Pei Huaixue deemed safe before stopping.
Pei Huaixue moved like a sneaky kitten, tentatively extending a paw. Seeing that Gu Minghe had no intention of pouncing on him, he confidently picked up the bottle of water.
He twisted the cap open, his full lips enclosing the bottle mouth as he took a small sip. His soft, rosy tongue lightly licked the rim. For some reason, he felt this bottle of mineral water was sweeter than any he had ever drunk before.
The thirst deep in his heart was insatiable.
He didn’t notice that Gu Minghe’s gaze, from a distance, was fixed on his moist tongue, his dark eyes filled with undisguised desire, as if he wanted to tear him apart and devour him.
A sparkling drop of water spilled from his lips, trickled past Pei Huaixue’s pointed chin, and fell into the collar of his white shirt, making him shiver from the cold. Pei Huaixue quickly reached up to wipe it, but accidentally spilled more water, and the small wet mark quickly spread into a large patch with his movements…
The shirt instantly became transparent, revealing the thin skin underneath, blindingly white.
Gu Minghe’s breathing grew heavy, his chest rising and falling with Pei Huaixue’s movements.
After seeing his clumsy wife manage to soak himself while drinking water, he couldn’t help but say, “Let’s go back to the car and change your clothes.”
Preferably, he should change out of that eyesore of a jacket too.
Pei Huaixue blinked, looking pitiful. “But I didn’t bring any clothes when I left.”
“I did.”
Oh, Husband is still so thoughtful.
A hint of sweetness bloomed in Pei Huaixue’s heart.
However, he still didn’t forget to maintain distance from Gu Minghe. “You just wait for me here.”
Saying this, he naturally placed the bottle of water back where it was. “Hold this water for me.”
Then he scampered away quickly.
Gu Minghe walked over and picked up the water bottle. The bottle still held a trace of Pei Huaixue’s warmth. Just holding it in his palm felt like touching the other person.
What Pei Huaixue didn’t know was that Gu Minghe had already opened and drunk from this bottle of water when he brought it over.
When the live stream viewers saw their strange interaction, they were all confused.
-What is Pei Huaixue doing? This is Gu Minghe! What airs is he putting on!
-He says he’s afraid of being scolded by fans and needs to keep his distance from Gu Minghe, but why isn’t he afraid of being scolded by Gu-Su shippers and keeping his distance from Gu Yanchen?
-I think he wants to remain pure for Gu Yanchen. He won’t even get close to another man.
-Seriously, does he like Gu Yanchen that much?
-CEO Gu’s temper is better than expected. I thought he would have ignored Pei Huaixue after being treated like this, but he’s patiently continuing the date.
-That’s one thing, but why does Pei Huaixue get to boss Gu Minghe around?
-The important thing is that Gu Minghe actually let him boss him around! Seriously, CEO Gu, show some authority! Intimidate him!
-I’m becoming a fan of Gu Minghe. How can he be handsome, gentle, and a gentleman all at once? Who said he had a cold personality?
-He’s probably acting because the cameras are rolling. If there were no cameras, Gu Minghe would have already given Pei Huaixue the cold shoulder for acting up like this.
When they saw Pei Huaixue drinking water, the bullet comments fell silent for a rare moment.
It took a while before they remembered to continue their criticism.
-Holy crap, it’s just drinking water. Does he have to drink it like that?
-I was stunned watching that, almost forgot to send a comment.
-A kitten drinking water. His tongue is so red, soft, and wet. It must be sweet to suck on, right?
-If only Pei Huaixue didn’t act up, with this face, how many fans would he gain!
-So clumsy, getting his clothes wet just from drinking water. Let me help Xuexue lick it dry.
-Slurp, taking a sip of the delicious little cat.
-Pei Huaixue went to change clothes. Cameraman, you’re not doing your job! Why didn’t you follow him into the car (smirk.jpg)?
-I can’t even imagine how steamy the scene in the car must be.
-Wait, why are there so many weird people in this live stream? Do you guys have pica? How can you be perverted over Pei Huaixue?
A hater of Pei Huaixue, seeing the sudden shift in the live stream’s tone, posed this soul-searching question.
The haters also snapped back to reality and launched a massive attack, sweeping away the small group of Pei Huaixue’s perverts.
The live stream returned to its usual state.
Pei Huaixue returned wearing clean clothes. Since his previous jacket was also wet, he had changed that as well.
He was wearing a cream-colored cashmere sweater. The length of the hem and sleeves were just right, clearly a good fit, but because he had lost weight recently, it still looked a bit oversized on him.
The outer jacket, however, belonged to Gu Minghe.
He had hesitated about wearing it, but it was the only jacket in the car, and he was afraid of getting cold without it, so he had no choice but to put it on before getting out.
He had to admit, wearing his Husband’s jacket was truly warm.
Pei Huaixue felt a surge of happiness in his heart.
Gu Minghe was six feet three inches tall, and his jacket was naturally large, just like him. Pei Huaixue’s slender body was enveloped in the spacious jacket, feeling as if he were completely wrapped up by Gu Minghe, giving him a great sense of security.
The shock of suddenly seeing Gu Minghe on the dating show had gradually dissipated.
Although Pei Huaixue was surprised that Gu Minghe would participate in this dating show, since he had already come and signed the contract, it was impossible for him to ask him to leave.
Moreover, he was now divorced from Gu Minghe, and the other party might not even listen to him.
So, he had to adjust his mindset, determined to constantly maintain distance from the other party, ensuring that Gu Minghe wouldn’t get hurt or encounter an accident because of him. He couldn’t worry about anything else.
When they saw Pei Huaixue get out of the car, the bullet comments erupted in jealousy again.
-Isn’t that Gu Minghe’s jacket? I saw him wear it on a show before. Ahhh, how can Pei Huaixue wear CEO Gu’s jacket?!
-Jealousy is making me unrecognizable! Take it off right now!
-Whose sweater is that underneath? It doesn’t look like Gu Minghe’s style. Why would he carry a piece of clothing like that with him?
-It looks quite suitable on Pei Huaixue, as if it were his own clothes…
-Do we even need to ask? It must have been provided by the production team! Could Gu Minghe have brought it for him?
When Gu Minghe saw Pei Huaixue wearing his jacket, the gloom in his eyes finally dissipated somewhat, and his expression relaxed.
He knew Pei Huaixue resisted his closeness, so he didn’t force his way forward again, but proactively maintained his distance.
The two continued their date, separated by the width of a small path.
The facilities at the abandoned amusement park had long been derelict, so they naturally couldn’t ride anything. They just walked around the grounds. When they reached the Ferris wheel, both of them simultaneously stopped.
The Ferris wheel was covered in rust, its former vibrant colors gone.
Gu Minghe’s expression darkened. He turned and walked in another direction. “Let’s go. There’s nothing good to see here.”
Pei Huaixue was about to follow, but noticed Gu Minghe was walking quite fast.
His back looked like he was very unhappy.
Pei Huaixue clumsily followed him, concerned. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Minghe mumbled, “This amusement park is going to be demolished next month.”
“Ah?”
Pei Huaixue opened his mouth. This amusement park, which held their past beautiful memories, was going to be torn down. No wonder Gu Minghe was unhappy.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to comfort him.
Just then, Gu Minghe’s low laugh came from ahead.
“It’s fine, though. I bought it.”
“Oh…”
Pei Huaixue snapped back to attention, his cat eyes instantly widening.
Then what was he unhappy about?!
Pei Huaixue wrinkled his nose, realizing Gu Minghe was teasing him. Hmph, bad Husband!
-CEO Gu is loaded! But why would he buy an abandoned amusement park?
-Does he have memories here with his first love? Otherwise, why buy it and set the date location here?
-I really envy Gu Minghe’s first love. She must be an excellent person for him to be so unforgettable!
-So Pei Huaixue drew a date with Gu Minghe and isn’t even cherishing it. That makes me angry!
-Who stands that far apart on a date? Am I watching a dating show? It looks like a comedy show!
Soon, Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue’s bizarre date made it onto the Trending Search.
