The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 52

Chapter Fifty-Two
Although Gu Minghe’s identity was exposed, none of the fans went up to disturb him. They all sat quietly in the back, secretly observing, taking photos, and uploading them to social media.
Before long, the offline fan meeting began.
The host took the stage, heating up the atmosphere, and then invited the internet celebrities and streamers participating in the event one by one. Many influencers look significantly worse in person than online, but as long as they aren’t primarily looks-based streamers, people generally don’t mind too much.
However, if a looks-based streamer looks drastically different offline, they are finished. Fans might not say anything to their face, but unfollowing them en masse after returning home is common.
“They say Pei Huaixue looks exactly the same in real life as in his videos. Is that true?”
“It should be true, right? Didn’t he participate in the dating show? That show was live-streamed without any filters. He already looked incredibly good on the show.”
“I don’t believe it. Maybe the dating show’s live stream secretly added filters that we didn’t know about?”
“Anyway, unless I see it with my own eyes, I won’t believe anyone can look that ridiculously good.”
“Now I’m even more excited to see Pei Huaixue.”
In the waiting area, passersby and fans of other influencers who came to watch the excitement couldn’t help but discuss Pei Huaixue. When they heard the host introduce Pei Huaixue, everyone turned their gaze to the stage and held their breath.
Pei Huaixue arrived.
Compared to the other influencers who were dressed too elaborately, Pei Huaixue was dressed simply: a light blue sweater paired with white casual pants, appearing fresh and sweet. He wore absolutely no makeup, only applying some moisturizer and a clear lip balm before leaving that morning, yet his face was still excessively beautiful.
His skin was fair, without a visible pore, his features were deep and defined, and his eyes were clear and bright. His height of 1.83 meters made him stand out on the stage, not to mention his perfect body proportions.
With a slender waist, perky backside, and long legs, his temperament and appearance crushed all the other influencers present.
“This is Pei Huaixue? Oh my god, he is too beautiful!”
Stunned by Pei Huaixue’s beauty, the crowd was momentarily speechless.
So the rumors were true!
Pei Huaixue really looked exactly the same as in his videos—no, even better!
“So pretty, so pretty! Xuexue is truly a beautiful little princess!”
“I’m starting to envy Gu Minghe. Who gave him permission to eat so well?!”
“No wonder Gu Minghe wasn’t angry about being cheated on and insisted on being Pei Huaixue’s lapdog. With looks like that, who wouldn’t want to be his dog!”
“What should I do? I want to be Pei Huaixue’s dog too.”
“Get in line. It’s not your turn to be his dog yet.”
Everyone in the audience was captivated by Pei Huaixue’s beauty, their eyes fixed only on him. Even across the distance between the stage and the audience, they felt as if they could smell the rich, pure fragrance emanating from Pei Huaixue, making them involuntarily intoxicated.
Hearing these comments, Gu Minghe was both happy and jealous.
His wife was so wonderful; he deserved the world’s praise. But the thought that others were also coveting his wife made Gu Minghe want to hide Pei Huaixue away, keeping him for his eyes only.
“It seems Pei Huaixue is very popular,” the host said, having observed everyone’s reaction. He smiled and asked Pei Huaixue to greet the audience. “Little Xue, the dance you performed during your last live stream was especially beautiful. Would you like to recreate it for everyone here?”
Pei Huaixue paused. “I can, but it was a duet. I can’t dance it alone.”
The host asked the audience, “That’s easy! Does anyone want to come up and dance a duet with Pei Huaixue?”
“Me, me, me!”
“I want to dance, I want to dance!”
Immediately, more than half the audience raised their hands, both men and women.
“So enthusiastic,” the host chuckled, handing a cute little rabbit plushie to Pei Huaixue. “How about this, Little Xue? You can throw this plushie into the audience in a moment. Whoever catches it gets to come up and dance with you.”
Pei Huaixue gripped the plushie, glanced in Gu Minghe’s direction, and smiled. “Okay.”
Then, under the expectant gaze of the crowd, he threw the plushie directly toward Gu Minghe.
The moment the plushie was thrown, everyone surged toward that direction. Gu Minghe stood up and, with an easy motion, reached out and firmly caught the plushie.
His 1.9-meter height created a powerful sense of pressure, causing those who wanted to snatch the plushie to retreat.
“Who is that? He’s so tall! He looks familiar!”
Some people hadn’t recognized him yet, but upon hearing a reminder from someone nearby, they realized, “Gu Minghe, is that Gu Minghe?!”
Suddenly, screams erupted throughout the audience. Initially, only the small group of fans sitting behind Gu Minghe knew his identity, but now it was exposed to the entire venue. Countless fans and curious onlookers rushed toward that spot.
“Ahhh, it really is Gu Minghe!”
“He snatched the plushie!”
“Xuexue is too biased! He practically threw it right at Gu Minghe.”
“I’m so excited! So they’re going to dance a duet right here??”
Seeing the chaos in the audience, the host quickly invited Gu Minghe onto the stage, worried that something might happen to him if he stayed below.
On the temporarily constructed fan meeting stage, Gu Minghe now stood beside Pei Huaixue. He was wearing a mask, yet it couldn’t hide the cold severity of his face. However, the icy sharpness of his brow instantly softened when he looked down to meet Pei Huaixue’s eyes.
His broad shoulders and tall stature made the already tall Pei Huaixue, who stood out among the other influencers, appear delicate by comparison.
The two standing together were incredibly pleasing to the eye and perfectly matched.
“They are so compatible! Perfect height difference, perfect body difference! I’m shipping them just by watching them stand together!”
“I feel like Gu Minghe could shatter Xuexue if he used a little force. Xuexue, you must work hard~”
“Thank goodness I specifically took time off and traveled all this way to attend this offline event, or I would have missed this rare offline reunion!!”
The Shippers in the audience were ecstatic, while fans watching the live stream were extremely frustrated, regretting not being there.
-Ahhh, I should have taken time off too. It’s the organizers’ fault for not announcing this earlier, making it impossible for me to rush over.
-I envy the sisters shipping them live! Please take lots of beautiful offline photos!
-It’s the New Year! Our Gu-Pei ship is eating too well!!
For a time, the atmosphere both online and offline was incredibly lively.
The other influencers on stage, seeing Pei Huaixue steal all the spotlight, couldn’t help but feel jealous. Dai Xiaotao and Xu Ran were particularly green with envy, practically grinding their teeth.
The host was also excited. “I didn’t expect Little Xue to throw the plushie to Film Emperor Gu! Now this duet must happen!”
With the host egging them on, Pei Huaixue couldn’t refuse, so he and Gu Minghe recreated the famous duet scene from before. Although they hadn’t danced it in a while and their movements were a bit rusty, Gu Minghe’s guidance ensured they cooperated perfectly, completing the entire dance and drawing continuous screams from the audience.
After the dance, fine beads of sweat appeared on Pei Huaixue’s forehead. Before he could raise his hand to wipe it, Gu Minghe had already pulled out a tissue he carried with him and naturally wiped the sweat away for Pei Huaixue.
This simple action once again caused a commotion in the audience.
Pei Huaixue couldn’t help but grumble internally: It’s just wiping sweat, why are they so excited?
Gu Minghe’s care for him was already ingrained, and Pei Huaixue was so used to it that he couldn’t understand why wiping sweat could make people ship them so hard.
Afterward, Gu Minghe was naturally invited to stay on stage to play games.
Host: “Next, we’ll play a quick-answer game. Everyone will pair up. One person is responsible for buzzing in, and the other is responsible for splashing water. If you buzz in but fail to answer the question correctly within five seconds, the opposing team can punish you with a water splash. Of course, we’ll give you a shield to block the water. Whether you get splashed depends on your skill! The last team standing will win a million traffic boost reward from the Douyin platform!”
Hearing the reward, everyone was eager to win.
Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe formed one team, and Dai Xiaotao and Xu Ran formed another. The two teams met in the first round.
Dai Xiaotao wore a fake smile. “Little Xue, be careful later. Don’t let our water splash you, or I’m afraid it will ruin your makeup.”
Pei Huaixue returned a false smile. “Don’t worry. I’m not wearing any makeup; I’m completely bare-faced. Splashing me won’t do anything. It would be a shame, though, if your makeup, which took several hours to apply, gets ruined.”
The tension between the two was palpable even before the game began.
In the first round, Gu Minghe was responsible for buzzing in, and Pei Huaixue was responsible for splashing water. On the opposite team, Xu Ran buzzed in, and Dai Xiaotao splashed water.
The host asked simple riddles and brain teasers. The questions weren’t difficult; it mainly depended on reaction speed. Gu Minghe’s hand speed for buzzing in was very fast, and he managed to grab every question and answer it correctly.
Pei Huaixue held the water scoop, and every time Gu Minghe answered correctly, he quickly splashed the opposing team.
After several rounds, Xu Ran’s face and body were completely soaked, and his makeup was ruined beyond recognition.
He couldn’t help but complain, “Brother Taozi, why didn’t you help me block the water?”
Dai Xiaotao had been using the basin to shield himself, so while Xu Ran was miserable, Dai Xiaotao only had a few drops of water on his hair.
“You failed to answer after buzzing in. You can’t blame me.”
Xu Ran took the towel from the host to wipe his face, secretly fuming.
If he had teamed up with Pei Huaixue, Pei Huaixue wouldn’t have just looked out for himself and ignored him.
However, he had already fallen out with Pei Huaixue. Thinking of this, Xu Ran truly regretted his actions.
Soon it was the second round, and the roles for answering and splashing were swapped.
Pei Huaixue and Dai Xiaotao were responsible for answering the questions.
Dai Xiaotao looked at Pei Huaixue’s seemingly delicate appearance and sneered: He couldn’t beat Gu Minghe to the buzzer, but beating Pei Huaixue should be easy, right?
However, in this round, the host unexpectedly changed the question bank. Instead of simple brain teasers, they started asking general knowledge questions about geography and nature.
Dai Xiaotao had left school early to enter society. Being an airhead, he relied on his fast hand speed to grab a few questions, but he couldn’t answer any of them.
Pei Huaixue curled his lips into a smile and instructed Gu Minghe, “Splash him!”
As a result, the completely unprepared Dai Xiaotao was soaked to the bone. Remembering the earlier grudge, Xu Ran didn’t bother to shield Dai Xiaotao. Watching him look utterly miserable with his makeup completely ruined, Xu Ran secretly mocked him.
Dai Xiaotao was furious.
Yet, Pei Huaixue managed to answer every question correctly after buzzing in. Seeing his triumphant look, Dai Xiaotao was driven mad with anger.
“Haha, Xuexue is so smart! My Xuexue isn’t like those empty-headed airhead influencers!”
“Look at Dai Xiaotao’s face turning green with anger! That’s so satisfying, hahaha. Serves him right for always opposing Pei Huaixue.”
“How can you two be so coordinated even when playing games?”
The fans in the audience were proud of Pei Huaixue for being able to answer such difficult questions.
It wasn’t until the end of this round that Pei Huaixue made a small mistake.
Dai Xiaotao finally seized the opportunity, snatched the water scoop from Xu Ran’s hand, and splashed it toward Pei Huaixue.
Before Pei Huaixue could react, Gu Minghe had already stepped in front of him, using his body to block the ice-cold water.
In an instant, Gu Minghe’s back was completely soaked.
Pei Huaixue’s eyes reddened. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Gu Minghe shook his head. He only relaxed when he confirmed that his wife hadn’t gotten wet.
Pei Huaixue was frail, and the weather was cold. If he got splashed, he would surely fall ill again when they returned.
Gu Minghe dared not take that risk with Pei Huaixue.
Dai Xiaotao and Xu Ran were dumbfounded by Gu Minghe’s actions.
Usually, when someone is splashed, they just use the basin to block it; at most, their hair gets a little wet.
How tightly was Gu Minghe protecting Pei Huaixue? He didn’t want Pei Huaixue to encounter even the slightest potential harm.
Dai Xiaotao clenched the water scoop in his hand and suddenly said meaningfully, “Little Xue, you and Film Emperor Gu have such a good relationship. But does Film Emperor Gu know about the things you do online?”
“You and your top fan, I heard you two are in contact privately. Does Film Emperor Gu know about that?”
