The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 26
byChapter 26: Kissed Numb
Chapter Twenty-Six
Pei Huaixue nervously watched Gu Minghe, terrified that he might suffer some adverse reaction after eating the culinary disaster he had prepared.
Fortunately, Gu Minghe’s stomach was stronger than he imagined, and he seemed fine, which finally allowed Pei Huaixue’s tense nerves to relax.
As for the others, after seeing the dinner Pei Huaixue made, not a single person dared to eat it.
In the end, they had to cook for themselves.
Pei Huaixue’s stomach rumbled. He was also a bit hungry and was hesitating whether or not to eat his own creation when suddenly, a steaming bowl of noodles appeared before him.
Gu Minghe, as if by magic, had prepared food for him.
“Eat.”
In the center of the noodle bowl was a golden, runny soft-boiled egg, which surprised and delighted Pei Huaixue. “When did you make this?”
Gu Minghe pursed his lips.
“When your eyes were only focused on Gu Yanchen.”
His tone was sour, carrying a hint of complaint.
Pei Huaixue lowered his gaze guiltily. “I didn’t…”
Upon hearing this exchange, the bullet comments flooded the screen with question marks.
-Did I hear that right? Is Gu Minghe jealous?
-I feel like the atmosphere between Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue is really strange!
-Gu Minghe rushed to eat Pei Huaixue’s terrible cooking, then actively fed Pei Huaixue, and now he’s secretly jealous. I really can’t convince myself that he’s approaching Pei Huaixue just for the happiness of his elder brother and sister-in-law…
-+1. Could Film Emperor Gu really have developed feelings for Pei Huaixue and be trying to pull Pei Huaixue’s heart away from his brother?
The netizens speculated, finding the possibility more likely the more they thought about it.
Everyone watched the pair’s every move in the live stream, hoping to find clues to prove their guess.
After dinner that evening, the director walked over and smiled. “We have a small game tonight. The winner gets a one-day chore exemption card. Is everyone interested?”
Chore exemption card?
Pei Huaixue’s eyes lit up. He stood up excitedly. “I’m interested! I want to participate!”
If he could get this reward, he could openly slack off for a day.
“I’ve been doing chores all day. I’m exhausted.”
Pei Huaixue rubbed his wrist, his brows etched with fatigue.
Xia Mu couldn’t help but scoff. “Oh please. Gu Minghe basically did all your chores today. You barely did anything. How could you be so tired?”
The netizens also agreed.
-Exactly! Gu Minghe did all the heavy lifting, and he hasn’t complained about being tired. Why is Pei Huaixue tired?
-But Pei Huaixue is naturally smaller than Gu Minghe. It’s normal for there to be a physical difference. Maybe something easy for Gu Minghe is very tiring for Pei Huaixue?
-Still, I don’t get it. Pei Huaixue comes from such a poor background. Where did he pick up such a spoiled young master attitude? It’s like he’s been pampered!
Hearing this, Pei Huaixue replied self-righteously, “Gu Minghe is happy to do it. Do you have a problem?”
His attitude suggested that not only did he not feel he should thank Gu Minghe for helping him so much, but he took it completely for granted.
Everyone looked toward Gu Minghe.
Seriously, could Film Emperor Gu tolerate this?
Gu Minghe looked up and gave a faint “Mm.”
“I hadn’t arrived when the chores were assigned, so Pei Huaixue was in a group by himself. It’s only right that I help him. From now on, Pei Huaixue and I will be a team for the chore rotation.”
Since the person involved didn’t mind, what could anyone else say?
The director brought their attention back. “Then let me explain the rules for tonight’s mini-game.”
“Tonight, we’re playing blindfolded tag. We’ll draw lots to select one Hunter, and everyone else will be Prey. Within twenty minutes, anyone who survives until the end without being caught by the Hunter will receive a one-day chore exemption card and can designate who will complete their chores that day.”
“If you are unfortunately caught by the Hunter, you can earn a revival card by fulfilling one request from the Hunter. The number of revivals is unlimited, but only if the Hunter is willing to grant you the revival opportunity. If the Hunter refuses, you are eliminated immediately.”
After hearing the rules, everyone was eager to try.
The director brought out the drawing tube. The person who drew the red slip would be the Hunter.
“The Hunter is…” The director’s gaze swept over the slips in everyone’s hands. “Gu Minghe!”
–
Gu Minghe’s eyes were covered with a black cloth. His tall figure standing there gave off a sense of pressure, making everyone unconsciously nervous.
Pei Huaixue swallowed. He desperately wanted the reward this time and intended to survive until the end no matter what.
So, as soon as the game started, he darted out quickly. Because his movements were too fast, he stumbled and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
It hurt.
Pei Huaixue felt like his knee was bruised. He bit his lip, afraid to make any more noise that Gu Minghe might hear. He could only slowly crawl on the ground, making rustling sounds.
When Gu Minghe heard the noise, he frowned.
He walked toward the source of the sound. Although his eyes were covered, he walked without any impediment, heading straight toward Pei Huaixue.
Everyone held their breath, watching him nervously.
They watched as he lifted Pei Huaixue, who was still crawling on the ground, like a little chick.
Less than a minute into the game, Pei Huaixue was caught.
Everyone couldn’t help but cover their mouths and snicker.
Pei Huaixue looked utterly hopeless. He gazed pitifully at Gu Minghe, his voice soft and pleading. “Can you let me go?”
The director reminded them, “The Hunter can decide whether or not to use a revival card on the Prey.”
“Use the revival card.”
Gu Minghe released Pei Huaixue.
“Then the Hunter can make one request of the Prey. What do you want him to do?” the director asked expectantly.
Everyone looked at Gu Minghe curiously.
They initially thought it would be a symbolic small request, like singing or dancing. However, Gu Minghe remained silent for a moment before saying, “Pei Huaixue, kiss me.”
“Huh?”
Pei Huaixue froze.
Everyone else froze too.
The bullet comments were filled with a stream of “AAAAAAH.”
Gu Minghe waited for a long time but didn’t receive a kiss from his wife. He frowned in dissatisfaction. “No? Then elimi—”
“I’ll kiss you!”
Before Gu Minghe could say “eliminate,” Pei Huaixue stood on his tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
Pop.
The moment the moist, full lips touched his cheek, Gu Minghe’s breathing deepened. He reached out, wrapped his arm around Pei Huaixue’s waist, and pulled him closer into his embrace.
“I didn’t say kiss the cheek. I said kiss the mouth.”
“Ah…”
Pei Huaixue opened his mouth blankly. The next second, his lips were captured, lightly pecked, and then released.
It was just a fleeting kiss, but Pei Huaixue hadn’t kissed Gu Minghe in a long time. The moment their lips touched, his body felt like it had been electrocuted, going numb all over, and his lower back felt weak and soft.
He raised his hand to touch his lips, and a thought involuntarily crossed his mind: he wished that kiss had lasted a little longer.
Hearing the gradually heavier breathing beside his ear, he couldn’t help but smile.
Clearly, Gu Minghe felt the same way.
The others were stunned by the kiss.
They actually kissed?
Gu Minghe’s requirement for reviving someone was to kiss him?
-Is this request only for Pei Huaixue? Or can others kiss Gu Minghe too?
-No way! If anyone can kiss Gu Minghe, I can’t even imagine that scene!
-Is this game’s benefit package this good?!
-Is this Gu Minghe’s first on-screen kiss? I never expected the Film Emperor’s first kiss wouldn’t be in a movie, but on a dating show…
While their expressions remained unchanged, their hearts were thoroughly shocked.
Xia Mu couldn’t help but wonder if he could also kiss Gu Minghe like Pei Huaixue if he were caught by him.
With this thought, when the game continued, Xia Mu started making various noises and deliberately moved closer to Gu Minghe.
Finally, he got his wish and was caught by Gu Minghe.
Xia Mu was thrilled. “Film Emperor Gu, I can agree to your request. Can you revive me?”
Gu Minghe let go of him in disgust, his tone cold. “Immediate elimination.”
The smile on Xia Mu’s face froze.
And so, he was eliminated in shame.
The game continued.
Gu Minghe possessed astonishing explosive power. Being blindfolded didn’t affect his ability at all; in fact, it made him seem even more terrifying. He was like a fearsome lion, capturing the prey in his territory one by one. Soon, people were constantly being eliminated.
However, there was one exception.
Pei Huaixue had only crawled for a short while on the ground before Gu Minghe grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, like a kitten, and lifted him up again.
This was the second time he had been caught.
Before Pei Huaixue could beg for mercy, Gu Minghe held the back of his neck with one hand, pulled him close, and, while the little cat was dazed, bit his lips and kissed him again.
This kiss lasted a little longer than the previous one.
Gu Minghe’s rough fingers lightly scratched Pei Huaixue’s chin, coaxing him to open his mouth.
“Baby, relax.”
“Mmm…”
He sucked on Pei Huaixue’s soft, moist, red tongue, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily, while his palm rubbed Pei Huaixue’s soft lower back.
Pei Huaixue, who was already standing on his tiptoes, completely lost his balance. His body went limp, leaning against Gu Minghe’s shoulder, his neck craned back, weakly responding to the kiss.
The wet, smacking sounds echoed in the large living room. Seeing this scene, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
They had thought Gu Minghe’s previous kiss with Pei Huaixue was shocking enough.
Now they realized that the first kiss was merely an appetizer.
Gu Minghe was only now starting to reveal his true nature.
He kissed fiercely, as if he wanted to devour Pei Huaixue whole. His large hand forcefully kneaded Pei Huaixue’s slender waist. Although his eyes were covered, it wasn’t hard to imagine the madness in the gaze hidden beneath the black cloth.
Those who had previously thought Gu Minghe was approaching Pei Huaixue with ulterior motives now had to admit that Gu Minghe might genuinely have fallen for Pei Huaixue!
The live stream was filled with wailing and cheering.
Some of Gu Minghe’s fans were crying, some instantly became Shippers and were wildly fangirling, and passersby entered to watch the spectacle.
This kiss quickly made it onto the Trending Search.

#FilmEmperorGu’sFirstOnScreenKissGivenToPeiHuaixue#
Previously, Pei Huaixue’s Trending Searches were always linked with Gu Yanchen. Now, suddenly, the person changed, and that person was Gu Yanchen’s biological younger brother. Everyone was confused for a moment.
What was going on? How did Pei Huaixue get involved with Gu Yanchen’s brother now?
Who exactly did he like?!
In the living room, the other guests slowly recovered their senses. Thinking about Gu Minghe’s behavior toward Pei Huaixue over the past few days, even an idiot could tell that Gu Minghe’s attitude toward Pei Huaixue was unusual.
Damn it, when did they progress this far?
Zhou Jingyuan watched them angrily, furious inside.
Didn’t Pei Huaixue like him?
Why was he kissing Gu Minghe now?
Jiang Leran looked at Pei Huaixue, whose cheeks were flushed and eyes were moist while kissing Gu Minghe, and his gaze darkened.
So this was how alluring Pei Huaixue looked when he was being kissed.
Shen Zhimian shyly covered his eyes, unable to watch.
Xia Mu’s face was dark, filled with jealousy.
What kind of taste did Gu Minghe have, to fall for Pei Huaixue? Pei Huaixue was so lucky!!
For the rest of the game, Gu Minghe immediately eliminated anyone else he caught. But whenever he caught Pei Huaixue, he would press the person into his arms and simply kiss him without saying a word.
Pei Huaixue was already slow to react, and being kissed repeatedly like this completely stunned him.
His expression was blank, his eyes unfocused.
At first, he seriously tried to evade Gu Minghe’s pursuit, but after being caught so many times, he stopped bothering to run. As soon as Gu Minghe approached, he would softly lean in, ready to exchange a long kiss with his Husband.
By the end, his lips were swollen from kissing, and he was numb.
His first reaction upon being caught was to ask for a kiss.
A perfectly good game of blindfolded tag had been turned into a kissing game by them.
Twenty minutes later, the game ended.
The last person surviving on the field was Pei Huaixue.
Pei Huaixue was congratulated blankly by the director and received the one-day chore exemption card.
Everyone: …
Pei Huaixue’s victory was certainly due to Gu Minghe constantly going easy on him.
Of course, Gu Minghe didn’t lose out either, having kissed Pei Huaixue an unknown number of times.
