The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 40
byChapter 40 You Are My Principle
Chapter Forty
Gu Yanchen looked at Gu Minghe, who was inexplicably serving him food, and gently rubbed his temples, suppressing the urge to beat him up.
Pei Huaixue was also bewildered by Gu Minghe’s action.
He was serving food to Gu Minghe, so how did it end up being served to Gu Yanchen?
What is Husband doing?
He asked 029 in confusion. 029 quickly replied, “Host, this is a good thing! Regardless of Gu Minghe’s reasons, he didn’t stop you from doing the mission, and even helped you. This is a huge stroke of luck! You can step on the gas and complete the mission!”
Is that so?
Is Husband really not going to stop him anymore?
Does he truly not mind his relationship with Elder Brother?
Pei Huaixue was a thousand percent unconvinced.
Gu Minghe, that big jar of vinegar, must be faking it.
He needed to test him properly and see what he was really planning.
With this thought, Pei Huaixue genuinely started serving food to Gu Yanchen this time.
He got up and took a chopstick-full from every dish, tossing it into Gu Yanchen’s bowl regardless of whether Gu Yanchen wanted it or not.
“Brother Chen, you’ve been working hard lately, eat more.”
Every time he served a dish, he would glance at Gu Minghe’s reaction.
He saw Gu Minghe’s expression was completely calm, even smiling and encouraging Pei Huaixue to continue.
Pei Huaixue’s hand holding the chopsticks almost slipped.
No way, is Gu Minghe really not stopping him?
He continued to serve Gu Yanchen, refusing to believe it. Gu Yanchen looked at his rice bowl, which was piling higher and higher, and frowned, “Pei Huaixue, that’s enough. You don’t need to serve me anymore.”
Pei Huaixue didn’t hear him at all, only stopping regretfully when it was visibly impossible for Gu Yanchen’s bowl to hold any more food.
Gu Yanchen looked at his rice bowl and fell into deep thought.
Gu Minghe, standing beside him, stared at him and said, “Elder Brother, this is Xiaoxue’s kind intention. Don’t waste it. You must eat all of it.”
Pei Huaixue also looked at him with anticipation.
Gu Yanchen: …
A chilling gaze suddenly came from behind—Su Jin’s. Su Jin’s tone was gentle as he said, “Yes, don’t waste Xiaoxue’s effort. Eat it all.”
Gu Yanchen: He had a feeling he was doomed.
He looked up and glared at the two culprits, his voice calm but laced with a hint of breakdown: “Are you two crazy?”
Are they using him as a tool?
Pei Huaixue guiltily averted his gaze.
Gu Minghe, however, was frank. “Xiaoxue served you food. What are you dissatisfied with?”
Fine, very fine.
Gu Yanchen struggled to finish the bowl of rice infused with Pei Huaixue’s abundant “love.”
The bullet comments were going crazy with laughter.
– Hahaha, suddenly I feel so bad for CEO Gu!
– Another reason why CEO Gu and Pei Huaixue can’t be together: they don’t eat the same way! At this rate of pig-feeding, CEO Gu will die of obesity sooner or later!
– Who understands? Gu Minghe is so doting. He’s clearly dying of jealousy but still plays along with Pei Huaixue’s antics. How much love must that be!
– Su Jin’s expression doesn’t look good. What’s going on between him and CEO Gu? The atmosphere tonight is really strange.
– Pei Huaixue is so cute. The Suffering of CEO Gu, hahaha.
After dinner, the director asked everyone to play the room allocation game for the week.
It was still musical chairs, with the same rules as last time.
However, Gu Yanchen, who had competed fiercely with Gu Minghe for first place last time, fell behind this time.
The reason was that CEO Gu was too full.
Suffering from indigestion, he was eliminated early.
Gu Minghe, with his absolute physical advantage, continued to take first place.
Pei Huaixue also secured a high rank with Gu Minghe’s help.
So, Gu Minghe still chose to share a room with Pei Huaixue; the two did not have to separate.
However, Su Jin’s choice was somewhat surprising.
He actually refused to continue sharing a room with Gu Yanchen and instead accepted Xia Mu’s invitation.
Everyone looked at Gu Yanchen’s visibly displeased expression and muttered inwardly: Is this CP breaking up?
Gu Yanchen felt like the sky was falling.
What a day this was.
…
Back in the room, it was time for the pre-sleep text messages.
After finishing his “homework” for the day, Pei Huaixue received a text message from Gu Minghe right on time.
“Baby, you can boldly do anything you want to do. I will support you.”
Seeing this message, Pei Huaixue froze for a second.
He couldn’t quite believe it. What was Gu Minghe saying? Did he know what he was doing? Impossible. Bound by the World Consciousness, he couldn’t tell him the truth. No matter how smart Gu Minghe was, he couldn’t guess that they were living inside a book, could he?
It must be a lucky guess.
Yet, precisely this sentence struck Pei Huaixue right in the heart.
All the grievances he had suffered during this time, all the words he couldn’t speak, were soothed by this small text message. His eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
He didn’t want to cry in front of the camera, so he could only hold back his tears with reddened eyes.
Netizens in the live stream sensed that Pei Huaixue’s emotions were off. They wondered if this text message was special.
It contained no vows of eternal love, no “I love you,” yet it moved Pei Huaixue so much.
As soon as the live stream was turned off, Pei Huaixue said goodnight to Gu Minghe in a choked voice, then pulled the quilt over himself, covering his head. His shoulders began to heave under the covers.
He had intended to cry secretly, but even biting his lip, he couldn’t help but let out a soft sob, which was particularly noticeable in the quiet night.
Someone got out of bed and walked over to him.
The man lifted his quilt, sighed, and pulled the crying kitten out of the covers, settling him on his lap.
“I’m sorry, I made you cry again.”
Pei Huaixue hung his head, constantly wiping his tears with his hands. He shook his head while crying, “It’s not your fault, it’s me…”
He was crying so hard he was breathless, his chest constantly rising and falling.
Gu Minghe pushed his hands away, carefully cupping his small face with his large palms, helping him wipe away the tears. Then he covered Pei Huaixue’s lips, kissing him gently and thoroughly.
Pei Huaixue subconsciously responded to the kiss, pressing his body closer to Gu Minghe, close enough to hear each other’s heartbeats.
After kissing for a while, Gu Minghe released him, asking in a husky voice, “Why are you crying?”
Pei Huaixue’s lips were swollen and red from the kissing. He wanted more, so he leaned back in, sticking out his tongue and licking Gu Minghe’s lip like a kitten. Gu Minghe groaned softly, not rejecting the cat’s active affection.
It wasn’t a very intense kiss, yet Pei Huaixue’s heart was still pounding fast. When their lips parted again, he looked at Gu Minghe with hazy eyes and asked, “If—I mean, if I were to do something very bad, would you still support me?”
He was crying because of that text message, after all.
Gu Minghe understood immediately.
“If you want to do something bad, I’ll help you do it.”
“Isn’t that unprincipled?”
Pei Huaixue said this, but he loved the answer in his heart, and his lips couldn’t help but curl up.
“You are my principle,” Gu Minghe was equally generous with his sweet words.
The two of them kissed stickily for a while longer. Pei Huaixue gasped, asking, “Then, what if everyone hates me because of the bad things I do?”
Thinking of his ending in the original novel, Pei Huaixue felt afraid.
Gu Minghe’s eyes darkened. “With me here, no one dares to hate you. Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”
He would not let Pei Huaixue become the Vicious Cannon Fodder with a tragic end from the original book.
Pei Huaixue’s inner anxiety gradually dissipated because of Gu Minghe’s answer.
He trusted Gu Minghe.
He had never lied to him since childhood. If he said he would protect him, he would definitely keep his word.
And he would also protect his Husband well.
Pei Huaixue rested securely in Gu Minghe’s arms, feeling his heartbeat, and then obediently fell asleep.
Gu Minghe lowered his head and kissed his brow and eyes, kissing away the last trace of tears near his eye corner.
He stayed in that position, wrapping his arms around Pei Huaixue’s waist, sleeping with his wife without feeling tired at all.
Some were happy, others were worried.
Gu Yanchen, who had suffered a huge setback in life, sat up in bed in the middle of the night, wondering if perhaps he should ask Gu Minghe for advice.
–
The next day.
Pei Huaixue opened his eyes and found himself lying in Gu Minghe’s arms. For a moment, he forgot that they were divorced and forgot his mission. He sweetly said, “Husband, good morning. Kiss me.”
Gu Minghe lazily opened his eyes and, with practiced ease, gave his wife a good morning kiss.
They had kissed for a long time last night, which had aroused Gu Minghe, but Pei Huaixue had fallen asleep. Gu Minghe had to endure it, not daring to sneak an attack on Pei Huaixue in the middle of the night, afraid of being discovered and making his wife angry.
So, when Pei Huaixue actively asked for a kiss in the morning, Gu Minghe could no longer hold back. He pressed the person beneath him, his large hand reaching into Pei Huaixue’s pajamas, kneading his fair, soft flesh, and kissing him fiercely.
Pei Huaixue was dazed from the kissing, unaware that he was being taken advantage of. He foolishly parted his lips, offering his tongue to Gu Minghe.
Just as Gu Minghe was enjoying himself, a staff member knocked on the door: “Please remove the clothes from the camera. The live stream has started.”
Interrupted, Gu Minghe had to release Pei Huaixue, help him straighten his rumpled clothes, and then get out of bed to deal with the camera.
While they were kissing, the live stream had been running for about two or three minutes.
Although the live stream screen was black, some rustling sounds could be heard, accompanied by strange gasps that made listeners feel parched.
– Holy crap, what is that sound?
– Did I come to the wrong place? Is this the This is Love live stream?
– Why is the room black? Turn on the lights, turn on the lights!
– What are Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue doing? Why can I hear strange sounds? Could it be…
– So explosive first thing in the morning, I like it (yellow heart yellow heart)
Just as everyone was chatting excitedly, the clothes were pulled off the camera, and the live stream returned to normal.
Then, everyone saw Pei Huaixue sitting blankly on the bed, looking innocent yet satisfied, like someone who had just been tricked into eating. His lips were red and swollen, the full, moist lip beads glistening with water, and his eyes were unfocused, staring straight ahead. His body trembled slightly.
The exposed skin on his neck was tinged with a faint, tempting pink, unconsciously radiating a fatal attraction.
