The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 36
byChapter 36: 9999+ Carnival Rain
Chapter Thirty-Six
-Princess Xuexue’s ATM? Holy crap, isn’t that the top gifter in Pei Huaixue’s livestream?! He actually showed up!!
The bullet screen went wild, frantically refreshing when they saw the familiar ID appear.
-Oh my god, Elder Brother is truly devoted, never missing one of Pei Huaixue’s PK battles!
-Wuwu, the top gifter is here, our Xuexue won’t lose. Elder Brother won’t let Xuexue lose!
-The top gifter’s power is still astonishing. Dai Xiaotao is going to lose to Pei Huaixue again this time.
Accompanying the barrage of comments was the top gifter’s non-stop Carnival Rain.
He kept gifting without pause, as if his wallet could never run dry, making everyone watching incredibly envious.
Ahhh, there are so many rich people in the world, why can’t they include us?!
-Some people previously speculated that Pei Huaixue’s top gifter might be Gu Yanchen. Now that Elder Brother and Gu Yanchen are present at the same time, that rumor can be debunked!
-Elder Brother is true love, even coming to support this kind of duo stream. I wonder how Elder Brother feels seeing Pei Huaixue and Gu Yanchen together?
At this moment, Dai Xiaotao’s face was grim as he watched the PK score in his livestream being crushed.
He constantly pleaded and acted cute, begging the top gifters in his own stream to step up. However, the new sugar daddy he had latched onto was clearly not as powerful as Pei Huaixue’s top gifter. After several rounds of fighting, he finally admitted defeat.
“I can’t do it, I can’t do it. The other side is already at 9999+ Carnival Rain. Holy crap, how is he so rich? I can’t beat him, Xiaotao, you’ll have to try your best yourself!”
With that, his gifter went offline and ran away.
Dai Xiaotao was dumbfounded.
Seriously? His top gifter ran away. What was he supposed to fight with now?
The scattered fans in his livestream couldn’t possibly compete with the other side!
His face was filled with despair as he watched the timer run out, leaving him utterly defeated and unable to fight back. His mood plummeted to rock bottom.
Previously, the internet claimed Gu Yanchen was Pei Huaixue’s top gifter, and he believed it. That’s why he thought he could take advantage of Pei Huaixue’s top gifter being absent, and with his own new sugar daddy, he could thoroughly humiliate Pei Huaixue online. He never expected to shoot himself in the foot. Now it was too late to regret it.
If he had known that Pei Huaixue’s top gifter was someone else entirely, he wouldn’t have pulled this stunt.
-Ahhh, top gifter, you are my god! 9999+ Carnival Rain, so powerful!
-Tens of millions were just thrown out again, and this time it was even in the production team’s livestream room. My goodness, the production team made a killing!
-Who exactly is this top gifter? He spoils Pei Huaixue so much. What is their relationship?
-I feel like the relationship isn’t simple. Who would spend tens of millions on a stranger?
-Speaking of which, has anyone seen Gu Minghe? I just checked his livestream room, and he’s not there. Where did he go?
-I think he went to the restroom.
-I wonder if Film Emperor Gu saw this spectacular scene.
The production team was also stunned by this sudden windfall.
Wait, this was just a promotional event. How did they suddenly earn such a huge sponsorship fee?
Xiao Shu stared blankly at Pei Huaixue. “Xiaoxue, we will transfer all this money to you later.”
After all, it was Pei Huaixue’s top gifter, and the money was meant for him. It wouldn’t be right for the production team to pocket it.
Pei Huaixue paused, then regained his composure.
“No need. You can just donate it to charity in the name of the production team.”
Gu Minghe never batted an eye when spending this kind of money.
Pei Huaixue looked at the active ID in the livestream room, feeling a rush of sweetness in his heart, like he had been fed honey.
He had been overthinking things, worrying that Gu Minghe didn’t care about him as much anymore. Now, seeing him appear like a knight to help him win the PK against Dai Xiaotao, he knew that Gu Minghe still cared about him very, very much.
The gloom in Pei Huaixue’s heart vanished, and the smile on his face became even sweeter.
Xiao Shu was momentarily mesmerized.
She thought that when they donated the money, they definitely needed to include Pei Huaixue’s name.
After the PK ended, Pei Huaixue looked at Dai Xiaotao, whose face, despite the whitening filter, still looked ashen. He smiled warmly. “Xiaotao, I’m sorry, I was just slightly better.”
Dai Xiaotao gritted his teeth. In front of so many people, he couldn’t back out, so he reluctantly said, “Congratulations, Pei Huaixue.”
“Then, about the punishment…” Pei Huaixue looked at Dai Xiaotao. “How about we just forget…”
Before he could finish, Dai Xiaotao quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, let’s forget it. Xiaoxue, you’re the best.”
“It’s fine if I forget it, but it wouldn’t look good for you. After all, so many people are watching our stream. Oh dear, there are already 100,000 people in the room. If 100,000 people see you lose the PK and then renege on the punishment, that would be terrible. We are good colleagues; I can’t let you ruin your reputation. You still have to do the punishment.”
Pei Huaixue’s tone was subtly manipulative, and he felt incredibly satisfied watching the hope in Dai Xiaotao’s eyes ignite and then shatter.
That’s what he got for trying to scheme against him.
Hmph, now he was the one making a fool of himself.
Dai Xiaotao was deeply frustrated. Since the words had been spoken and the bullet screen was demanding he accept the punishment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start the penalty in front of the camera.
While picking his nose, he made pig-like snorting sounds, causing a huge wave of laughter in the livestream room.
Like Pei Huaixue, he was an attractive streamer who always maintained a beautiful image in front of his fans. He had never made such a deliberately ugly gesture. The moment he started picking his nose, netizens eagerly began taking screenshots and recording clips. Meanwhile, his own fans were so shocked by his actions that a large number of them immediately unfollowed him.
Dai Xiaotao wanted to cry but had no tears.
What was even more frustrating came later. After the livestream ended, his ugly photos and video clips instantly spread across the entire internet.
The famous scene of “Princess Xuexue’s ATM” spending 9999+ Carnival Rain was repeatedly played and used to mock him, alongside his embarrassing photos.
Marketing accounts even created short videos analyzing how his actions had backfired spectacularly.
“Hahaha, Dai Xiaotao tried to scheme against Pei Huaixue but ended up trapping himself. Why is he so hilarious? Did he think Pei Huaixue’s top gifter was a pushover?!”
The heat generated by the livestream clips continued to rise, quickly topping the Douyin platform charts.
Many passersby were drawn in and started watching the dating show.
However, they thought Pei Huaixue was dating the top gifter on the show. When they watched and found no sign of the top gifter, they felt a bit scammed.
-I suddenly feel like the CP of Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe or Gu Yanchen isn’t as good anymore. I’m starting to ship Pei Huaixue and the top gifter.
-Me too… Sorry, Film Emperor Gu, I’m jumping ship.
-It’s normal for someone as beautiful as Xuexue to be liked by so many excellent men! Who says you can only ship one CP? I ship both!
-I want to see Gu Minghe and the top gifter fight for attention, both showering him with Carnival Rain. I wonder who is richer?
-Pei Huaixue, you man of chaos and drama!
After this duo stream ended, there was no sign of a spark between Gu Yanchen and Pei Huaixue. Instead, the top gifter stole the entire spotlight.
Su Jin watched the entire stream, his expression slowly relaxing from initial nervousness.
He didn’t need to guess; that top gifter must have been Gu Minghe.
Just then, Gu Minghe emerged from the restroom.
Xia Mu had also watched the entire stream. The scene was so familiar that it reminded him of the first time he challenged Pei Huaixue to a PK, acting so ignorantly, only to lose miserably.
Now Dai Xiaotao was experiencing his pain. While suffering from PTSD, Xia Mu couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude. He wasn’t the only unlucky one; Dai Xiaotao was even worse off.
Seeing Gu Minghe appear, he quickly said, “Film Emperor Gu, it’s such a shame you were in the restroom just now. I wonder if you saw the scene in Pei Huaixue’s livestream.”
He exaggeratedly recounted the story of Pei Huaixue’s top gifter, implying that the relationship between Pei Huaixue and that Elder Brother was ambiguous and that the Elder Brother was spending money out of love, hoping to provoke Gu Minghe’s disgust toward Pei Huaixue.
“That top gifter was really fierce, spending over twenty million on a small livestream PK. Their relationship must be extraordinary.”
Gu Minghe’s expression remained calm upon hearing this.
“Only twenty million? Is that a lot of money?”
“Huh?” Xia Mu froze.
Gu Minghe said, “Xiaoxue is just very likable. Forget twenty million, spending a hundred million would be normal. Are you jealous because no one spends that much money on you?”
“No, that’s not what I meant…” Xia Mu’s face turned pale. His petty thoughts were ruthlessly exposed, and his face immediately flushed red.
“Spend more effort on improving yourself, and stop focusing on spreading rumors about others. Your jealousy toward Pei Huaixue is ugly,” Gu Minghe said in a cold, sharp voice, not even bothering to look at Xia Mu.
The Shippers who had been drawn away by the top gifter immediately rushed back to the comments.
-Film Emperor Gu is so handsome, he shut him down perfectly!
-Xia Mu is always so manipulative. Now that Film Emperor Gu has directly exposed his true colors, let’s see how he keeps up the act.
-So Film Emperor Gu is this generous? He’s not jealous of Pei Huaixue and the top gifter at all.
-Just like Gu Minghe said, it’s normal for our Xuexue to be so likable and have many admirers.
-I still stand by Gu Minghe x Pei Huaixue. Gu Minghe, go for it!
Su Jin walked over just as he heard their conversation. He approached Gu Minghe and quietly asked, “Was it you?”
Gu Minghe turned around, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
“Brother Su Jin, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“By the way, I heard my dad say that my Elder Brother seemed to have a very large expenditure today. I wonder what he used it for.”
Su Jin was stunned.
What did Gu Minghe mean by that?
Was he suggesting that Pei Huaixue’s top gifter wasn’t him, but possibly Gu Yanchen?
But Gu Yanchen was clearly streaming with Pei Huaixue just now…
Could it be that the account was his, and he had asked someone else to log in and help him send gifts?
Su Jin’s heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
The bullet screen was also dumbfounded by Gu Minghe’s words.
-What is Film Emperor Gu saying? Is he hinting that Pei Huaixue’s top gifter is Gu Yanchen? Impossible.
-I feel like something is off.
-Don’t over-interpret things. Maybe they aren’t even talking about the same thing.
Meanwhile, Pei Huaixue, who had just finished the duo stream, felt frustrated by the failed mission.
His interaction with Gu Yanchen had been too comical, failing to generate any sense of crisis for Su Jin.
A perfectly good duo stream had been wasted.
He sighed and got up, preparing to try harder next time. Just then, the System prompt in his mind began ringing incessantly.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission. Mission Points +10]

Huh, what’s going on?
