The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 4
byChapter 4 Gu Minghe Had an Accident
Chapter 4
The System’s sharp alarm blared incessantly in Pei Huaixue’s mind, beating a rhythmic pattern synchronized with the rise and fall of his body. Just before he passed out from exhaustion, Pei Huaixue thought: This sound is quite stimulating =.=
As for what the System was screaming about, he didn’t hear any of it.
Gu Minghe had occupied his entire focus, leaving him unable to concentrate on anything else. It wasn’t until he woke up the next day that he realized how serious the situation was.
029 had been hiding in the corner, crying all night.
Pei Huaixue propped up his exhausted body and had to go comfort it.
“Don’t cry, it was my fault. I promise I will complete the mission properly next time,” Pei Huaixue swore.
029 was extremely resentful.
The Hot Spring Trip main mission has failed. Host, you must take responsibility for yourself.
Last night, it had frantically reminded the Host that the mission was about to fail. Yet, amidst its alarm, the Host’s cries grew louder, wave after wave. 029 was completely helpless; it felt its body and mind had been severely ravaged.
Pei Huaixue knew he was in the wrong and could only apologize repeatedly.
He didn’t see Gu Yanchen and Su Jin again until just before they left that afternoon.
Because he missed the mission last night, the progress between the Protagonist Gong and Shou was zero. Without his assistance as the Vicious Cannon Fodder, Su Jin felt no sense of crisis regarding the relationship between him and Gu Yanchen.
The two were still good friends.
Gu Yanchen naturally took the backpack from Su Jin’s hand, then looked at Pei Huaixue. “Are you two packed? Do you need any help?”
“Minghe is still packing. No need for help,” Pei Huaixue quickly waved his hand in refusal. But as soon as the words left his mouth, everyone froze.
His voice… was so hoarse.
He had overused his voice last night, causing his speech now to sound like a broken bellows, terribly raspy.
Su Jin asked worriedly, “Xiaoxue, did you catch a cold? Why is your voice so hoarse? Do you need some medicine?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine. It will be better in a few days.” Pei Huaixue blushed, unwilling to delve deeper into the topic.
“Are you really okay?” Su Jin was still concerned. “How did Minghe take care of you? You got sick after just one night. Yanchen, you need to talk to your younger brother.”
Gu Yanchen, however, smiled meaningfully. “How do you know the culprit wasn’t that brat Gu Minghe?”
The more they talked, the redder Pei Huaixue’s face became.
He regretted using his voice so forcefully yesterday. Fortunately, the hotel room was well soundproofed, otherwise, forget about completing the mission, he wouldn’t have the face to see anyone.
Soon, Gu Minghe finished packing and came out carrying several large bags.
Although they were only out for a day or two, Pei Huaixue hadn’t skimped on what he brought: various skincare products, several sets of coordinated clothes and accessories, and even two or three different bathrobes. He had planned to take photos and create content, but in the end, he was too engrossed in physical pleasures and wasted the time.
They could have stayed a few more days, but Gu Minghe was scheduled to join his film crew soon and had some preparatory work to do before then, so they had to return today.
And once Gu Minghe joined the crew, he would be gone for three months. Thinking about not seeing his Husband for such a long time, Pei Huaixue felt that spending quality, intimate time with him was far more important!

On the way back, Pei Huaixue was so exhausted that he fell asleep, resting his head on Gu Minghe’s lap.
He wrapped his arms around Gu Minghe’s strong, firm waist, burying his face into those hard eight-pack abs, taking a deep breath of his Husband’s masculine scent, and sleeping soundly.
Gu Minghe reached out to smooth the stray hairs from his forehead, pulled him closer into his arms, and, fearing he might get cold, carefully covered him with his jacket.
After doing all this, he took out his phone and started handling work.
Then, thinking of something, he opened Weibo, quickly edited a post, and pressed send.
Ding-dong.
The Movie Emperor Gu, who hadn’t posted in ages, was back online!
When they saw Gu Minghe’s Weibo post, his fans were so excited they spread the news everywhere. Within one minute of posting, the likes and loyal fan counts exceeded ten thousand.
-Ahhh, Husband, you still remember your Weibo account password?
-Why the sudden post?
-Shock! Movie Emperor Gu has risen from the dead!
-Is that a photo of a narcissus?
Gu Minghe had only posted one picture.
It was one he had casually taken when checking out of the hotel.
A pot of narcissus flowers placed on the hotel room windowsill, their pure white, jade-like forms gently swaying in the breeze.
The afternoon sun shone down, casting a warm glow on them, full of vitality.
Pei Huaixue loved narcissus flowers. Before checking into the hotel, he had specifically arranged for them to be placed in the room.
Seeing the flower made Gu Minghe think of Pei Huaixue.
He took a picture of it.
To commemorate another wonderful night spent with his wife.
The fans were confused by the photo and speculated about its possible meaning, but after much guessing, they couldn’t figure it out and eventually gave up.
Only one netizen commented: “This narcissus looks familiar. I think I saw it in some Minor Influencer’s vlog.”
However, that comment was quickly buried by others.
–
After returning home, Pei Huaixue finally woke up. He opened his phone and immediately saw a notification pop up from his special Weibo follow list.
Gu Minghe had posted on Weibo.
He quickly used his alt account to like and comment on his dear Husband’s post.
@MingheLovesSnow: Husband, kiss kiss =3= Did Husband know I like narcissus and specially took this photo for me?
As soon as the comment was posted, people started liking and replying to him non-stop.
-Xuexue, you’re finally here! We thought you didn’t love Movie Emperor Gu anymore, commenting only after half a day!
-MingheLovesSnow, have you no shame? He can post whatever he wants. How did it become a photo taken for you?
-Xuexue is still so abstract.
-Move aside, move aside! The biggest dream boy in Gu Minghe’s fandom is here!
Pei Huaixue’s alt Weibo account constantly published various “dream boy” comments about Gu Minghe. Initially, the fandom was happy to have a male fan and treated him like a rare animal, showering him with affection.
But Pei Huaixue was too abstract. His fantasies about Gu Minghe surpassed those of the female fans.
Soon, everyone was put off by him.
They all told him to stay away from Gu Minghe.
Pei Huaixue wasn’t afraid of being exposed. After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place. The more abstract he acted, the less people would suspect anything.
So, when Pei Huaixue fantasized about Gu Minghe on Weibo, he was completely open and generous about it.
No one would ever suspect that this famous fandom “dream boy” was Gu Minghe’s secretly married partner.
Not long after the comment was posted, Gu Minghe, wearing an apron, knocked on the bedroom door. “Baby, dinner is ready.”
Pei Huaixue was hungry too, so he quickly got up and out of bed.
Walking into the dining room, he saw Gu Minghe had prepared a table full of dishes.
He served rice for Pei Huaixue, sat down beside him, and helped him dish up food, keeping busy the entire time.
Pei Huaixue didn’t eat much and was very picky. When Gu Minghe was home, he would watch him to make sure he finished his meal. If he didn’t finish, he wouldn’t get any kisses when they were intimate.
Perhaps thinking that Gu Minghe was about to join the crew for three months, meaning he wouldn’t be able to kiss his Husband for the next three months, and if he didn’t get kisses tonight, he would be too pitiful, Pei Huaixue obediently finished his meal.
After night fell, the young couple didn’t rest. To make up for the three months of separation, they kept busy all night. Their presence was left in the bathroom, the balcony, the living room sofa, the kitchen, and the dining room.
Two days later, Pei Huaixue reluctantly watched his Husband leave.
Before leaving, Gu Minghe didn’t forget to warn him: “Don’t secretly meet with Gu Yanchen while I’m away.”
He practically had “No Cheating” written on his face.
Pei Huaixue promised him sincerely, but as soon as Gu Minghe was gone, the System cracked its little whip and drove him out of bed.
Stop being lazy, hurry up and do the mission!
Gu Minghe was finally gone for three months. Surely Pei Huaixue wouldn’t face any resistance in completing the mission now!
029 thought happily.
“What’s the rush? It’s three months!” Pei Huaixue yawned. “Let me sleep properly for a few days first.”
He had been too tired these past two days.
He needed good rest to have the energy to work!
029 could only continue to watch Pei Huaixue sleep with resentment.
After three to five days of deep rest, Pei Huaixue finally recharged his batteries.
Under 029’s eager anticipation, he decided to go shopping today!
What about the mission??
029 shrieked.
Pei Huaixue covered his ears. “I need to buy some sexy battle gear first, right? How else am I supposed to seduce someone? If I show up in casual clothes, they won’t know I’m trying to seduce them.”
The Host is still the clever one.
029 praised him.
Pei Huaixue lifted his chin proudly. Of course.
He had lost 100 Points when the last mission failed. This time, Pei Huaixue was full of confidence, determined to earn those Points back elsewhere.
Since he was going out shopping, Pei Huaixue opened WeChat and called his shopping buddy.
Xu Ran, a Minor Influencer who belonged to Xingyue Agency, the same MCN Agency under Gu Corporation as Pei Huaixue. The two met on Douyin, and since they were both gay, they naturally became good friends.
At the coffee shop.
When Xu Ran saw Pei Huaixue arrive, he happily waved him over.
“Xiaoxue, over here!”
Pei Huaixue walked over and sat across from him.
Xu Ran scrutinized him for a moment and said, “I thought the Trending Search would have you crying at home every day, but you still look radiant.”
“That Trending Search was days ago. I stopped caring about it long ago,” Pei Huaixue said dismissively.
Xu Ran, however, was gossipy. “Let me ask you, what exactly is going on between you and Gu Yanchen? Are you really dating him?”
Pei Huaixue narrowed his eyes. “Why are you asking?”
“I’m curious! After all, the whole internet is guessing whether the person Gu Yanchen likes is Su Jin or you, Pei Huaixue.” Seeing the subject of the gossip right in front of him, Xu Ran eagerly pulled him into a barrage of questions.
He didn’t know about Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe’s secret marriage, nor did he know Pei Huaixue’s true relationship with Gu Yanchen. He just assumed Pei Huaixue had latched onto a powerful figure and was extremely envious.
For a Minor Influencer like him, if he could ever be rumored to be dating a big shot like that, the traffic would be immense. He would have to seize the opportunity to get rich!
Moreover, if he could marry into a Wealthy Family, he could just relax for the rest of his life.
“If you become Young Madam Gu, you’ll be the boss’s wife at Xingyue in the future. How would those little bitches in the company dare to mess with you then?”
Pei Huaixue was too beautiful. Unlike those influencers who looked terrible in person, he was a genuine beauty who could charm people without filters. Therefore, some influencers and streamers in the agency who relied heavily on filters to gain followers were very unhappy with him and often opposed him.
Some people even coveted Pei Huaixue’s beauty and tried to proposition him.
However, anyone who had such thoughts was fired by the company shortly after.
Everyone said Pei Huaixue had powerful backing, but no one expected his backing to be Gu Yanchen.
Now, many people in the company wanted to curry favor with Pei Huaixue, but unfortunately, Pei Huaixue rarely went to the company, so they couldn’t see him.
Xu Ran was glad he was good friends with Pei Huaixue. Otherwise, when Pei Huaixue became successful, he wouldn’t even be able to get in line!
Xu Ran envisioned a beautiful future for Pei Huaixue.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
“And if you really marry in, you’ll be Elder Brother’s wife to Gu Minghe. Then you can help me get Gu Minghe’s autographed photos…”
Pei Huaixue smiled reservedly. “I told you it’s fake. Stop fantasizing so much. Even if it were true, it’s not good to bully people. Just ignore them.”
Xu Ran nodded. “True, we must maintain a good image. After all, Wealthy Families value character.”
The two sat and drank coffee, chatted for a while, and then went upstairs to the mall to shop.
Pei Huaixue was not short on money, and when he went shopping with Xu Ran, he would generously pay for him.
Today was no exception.
After swiping his card for a Chanel bag for Xu Ran, the two were about to leave when Xu Ran, who was looking at his phone, suddenly called out to Pei Huaixue.
“Xiaoxue, look at Weibo quickly! This is bad, Gu Minghe had an accident!”
Pei Huaixue’s steps halted, his mind blanking for a moment.
He quickly opened his phone and immediately saw the “Explosive” tag on the number one Trending Search.
