Chapter 65 Chapter 65 You three, how are you doing?

Xu Qinghu walked into the cabin and found that everyone else was sitting in the living room.

It seemed as if he was waiting for her and Qi Song to come back.

Among so many people, only those who went to the mountains to look for Xu Qinghu last night knew what had happened.

"Has Qi Song not returned yet?" Zhong Zining glanced behind Xu Qinghu, her expression becoming somewhat odd. "Is he still in the hospital?"

Although she expressed concern, her eyes were gleaming with schadenfreude, and she wished Qi Song would never come back.

Xu Qinghu shook his head. "He's not feeling well and needs to stay in the hospital for observation."

"Is that so?" Zhong Zining nodded. She had actually secretly watched the live broadcast a while ago and just wanted to confirm from Xu Qinghu that Qi Song was really ill. She pretended to be concerned and said, "I hope he recovers soon."

"How are you?" Gu Jingchen, who was sitting on the single sofa, couldn't help but ask: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"

After sending the text message last night, Gu Jingchen stayed downstairs for most of the night because of the hallucination he had before. It was not until the live broadcast ended that the staff told him that Xu Qinghu and Qi Song had encountered some problems and would not come back at night. His first thought was that Xu Qinghu must be in danger.

He immediately started asking further questions, and the staff replied that Xu Qinghu had already gone to the hospital and told him not to worry.

Gu Jingchen subconsciously asked which hospital it was so he could go and take care of her. Seeing his concern for Xu Qinghu, the staff member was silent for a few seconds and whispered, "Mr. He and Xiao You are also in the hospital."

Only then did Gu Jingchen realize that what He Shengnian said about overtime was nonsense. When he was dating Qiao Wanshu, he simply left her to go find Xu Qinghu. No wonder Qiao Wanshu was so unhappy when she came back.

Gu Jingchen thought of the hallucination in which Xu Qinghu was obedient and quiet beside him. It was obviously contrary to the current development, but he inexplicably felt that this was the normal direction.

"It's okay," Gu Jingchen said, even though his mind was full of thoughts: "As long as someone takes care of her."

He got up and went back upstairs, his heart still uneasy.

It was not until dawn that Gu Jingchen reluctantly fell asleep, and began to have intermittent nightmares again.

In the dream, Xu Qinghu was very kind to him. No matter what he did, she always looked at him with admiration and bright eyes, as if he was her whole world.

Gu Jingchen has met many suitors in his life, but no one is more beautiful than Xu Qinghu, and no one can provide more emotional value than her.

More importantly, no one is more sincere and genuine than her.

In the dream, my initial intention was not Xu Qinghu, but as we spent more time together, I gradually spent more and more thoughts on Xu Qinghu.

Every time after get off work, the first thing he did when he returned to the cottage was to look for Xu Qinghu. Seeing her sitting in the garden waiting for him, he always felt inexplicably satisfied.

But he didn't seem to care about her that much, because he hadn't forgotten Qiao Wanshu. After finally getting the extra date card, he wrote down Qiao Wanshu's name as soon as possible.

When he learned that he did not invite himself, the disappointment in Xu Qinghu's eyes was so strong that it made him feel guilty. He could only use the cold war to let her know that they were not really boyfriend and girlfriend, and she had no right to interfere in his choice.

This situation, which clearly favors Qiao Wanshu, has happened many times in my dreams.

On group dates, he would be more concerned about Qiao Wanshu's feelings. When encountering difficult problems, even though he was Xu Qinghu's partner, he would still abandon her and go find Qiao Wanshu...

It seemed as if she knew that no matter what she did, Xu Qinghu would never really leave her.

And that was indeed the case. When he took good care of Qiao Wanshu and returned to Xu Qinghu, the girl just lowered her eyelashes, smiled at him faintly, and did not ask why he left her.

Perhaps, she had long been accustomed to his indecision, but because she liked him too much, she could not turn back.

Gu Jingchen in the dream seemed to be aware of this as well. He seemed to be wavering between her and Qiao Wanshu, but in fact he used her as a stepping stone to increase his bargaining chips.

Can beauty be eaten? Can emotional value actually benefit oneself? Gu Jingchen didn't even need to think about it to know what he was weighing in his dream.

But when he woke up from the dream, he still broke out in a cold sweat and looked at the ceiling above his head, unable to recover for a long time.

What do these frequent dreams want to tell me?

He picked up the mobile phone beside the bed and wanted to send a message to Xu Qinghu to ask about her health. After editing the message, he deleted it word by word with a cold face.

Dreams are the opposite of reality. No matter how real the dreams are, they should not affect his actual judgment.

Gu Jingchen got up, lifted the quilt, took a shower in the bathroom, went downstairs to make breakfast, and stayed in the living room.

He seems to be handling work, but in fact he is constantly looking outward.

It was not until Qiao Wanshu came down from upstairs that he managed to calm down and asked Qiao Wanshu if he wanted to go out for a walk.

Qiao Wanshu shook his head, his eyelids were slightly bluish-black, and it was obvious that he had not rested well.

Seeing this, Gu Jingchen stood up and went to the kitchen to wash the fruit for her. "I bought watermelon yesterday. Would you like a glass of watermelon juice?"

"Okay," Qiao Wanshu chose a single sofa and sat down, saying lightly, "Thank you for your help."

After a while, Gu Jingchen put the fruit and watermelon juice on the small table beside her, looked at her beautiful face, and thought of her dazzling appearance in his dream, where she was popular and the center of everyone's attention. There was a clear difference between her and now.

He took the initiative to ask: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Not bad." Qiao Wanshu glanced at him without explaining the reason for his insomnia.

Gu Jingchen was used to her indifference towards him, so he said softly, "I'll give you a cup of hot milk tonight, and you can go upstairs and rest early."

Qiao Wanshu didn't respond, but just looked in the direction of the garden, as if he was also waiting for someone.

Gu Jingchen's eyes flashed, and he changed the subject elsewhere, wanting to continue communicating with her.

Qiao Wanshu responded politely, but there was no enthusiasm in his eyes.

It wasn't even as caring as in his dreams. At least in his dreams, she took the initiative to talk to him many times, making him think that as long as he continued to pursue her, he could hold her hand.

Gu Jingchen said calmly, "Would you like to sit in the garden? There are many flowers blooming."

Qiao Wanshu finally nodded and walked into the garden with him.

The summer breeze is caressing, and the garden is filled with fragrance.

It was obviously a very suitable time for them to be alone together and have an in-depth conversation, but both of them were not interested and fell into silence for a while.

[What's going on? This isn't the flirtatious scene I imagined.]

The audience also felt that something was wrong.

[Teacher Gu, please find an interesting topic quickly. Don't let the atmosphere get so awkward here!]

[They must all be worried about Xu Qinghu and Qi Song, otherwise they would definitely get along very happily.]

[Qiao Qiao is still too kind.]

[Speaking of which, can they really hold hands in the future? CP fans are already crying.]

[Mr. He hasn't returned yet. I suspect he's gone to look for Xu Qinghu, which is why Qiao Wanshu is acting so strangely.]

[+1, but I can't say it.]

It was not until He Shengnian's car stopped at the door that Qiao Wanshu's eyes finally lit up and he stood up to greet him.

Looking at her back without looking back, Gu Jingchen frowned. The dream didn't say who Qiao Wanshu chose in the end, but now her choice is He Shengnian.

In her dream, did she also choose He Shengnian?

Gu Jingchen's heart sank and he pursed his lips.

"It's okay." Xu Qinghu looked at Gu Jingchen and saw him looking at her deeply. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Gu."

"You haven't recovered yet," Wen Ruoxi said softly, "Go back upstairs and rest first."

As they were talking, Ruan Xiaoyu came running down from the second floor. After seeing Xu Qinghu, she hugged him from behind and couldn't help saying, "Hulu, you are finally back. Do you know how much I missed you yesterday?"

Xu Qinghu's steps were unsteady and he was almost knocked to the ground by her. You Zhi quickly grabbed his shoulder and helped him stabilize his body.

"Be gentle," he looked at Ruan Xiaoyu and reminded her, "She still needs to rest."

Ruan Xiaoyu was a bit nervous and quickly grabbed Xu Qinghu and said that she was too rash.

Xu Qinghu shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not a sickly person, I'm not that weak."

He waved to the others and said, "You guys chat, I'll go back to my room first." After that, he walked upstairs with Ruan Xiaoyu.

Looking at her slender back, everyone looked at You Zhi. When Xu Qinghu almost fell, he and He Shengnian reached out at the same time, and he actually grabbed Xu Qinghu faster than He Shengnian.

The look she gave him couldn't help but become a little complicated.

"Let's make something light for dinner tonight," Qiao Wanshu said, breaking the silence. "It's getting late, is there anyone willing to go grocery shopping with me?"

Gu Jingchen came back to his senses and wanted to say that he could go, but Qiao Wanshu's eyes were fixed directly on He Shengnian. "Mr. He, could you please take the trouble to go?"

Gu Jingchen had the words on the tip of his tongue, but he could only swallow them back.

He Shengnian stood at the door and glanced down at Qiao Wanshu, "Sorry, I still have work to do."

Qiao Wanshu naturally couldn't force it, so his eyes fell on Du Yanting, who had just returned in the morning and was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window doing work.

He closed the computer at some point, pinched Qingmingxue, and leaned back on the sofa to rest.

Noticing Qiao Wanshu's gaze, he opened his narrow eyes and showed no intention of going out with her.

"I'll go," Gu Jingchen immediately gave Qiao Wanshu the steps to go down, "I happen to have time, I can help you carry the vegetables."

Qiao Wanshu lowered her eyelashes and could only agree to his proposal.

Unexpectedly, You Zhi suddenly said, "I'd better go buy some groceries. I made a gourd menu and I just need to buy some ingredients."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked again.

There was obvious inquiry in her eyes as she looked at him, but You Zhi just glanced at the time, took out the reusable shopping bag from the kitchen and was about to leave.

Seeing this, He Shengnian, who had originally planned to go upstairs, actually walked out with him, as if he wanted to be his driver.

“…”

[My old swan, is this right? Are there any rivals in love who get along so well with each other?]

[I thought Mr. He and Xiao You would fight over the gourd, but it turned out like this. It was a bit unexpected.]

[Is it hard to understand? Because they are mature men who are willing to think from Hulu's perspective, that's why they put her feelings first when she was sick.]

[I'm a little touched, what's going on? Hulu is really lucky.]

[It's not luck, it's her willingness to fight for herself.]

[It was a completely unfavorable game. In the early stages, I was worried that she would quit due to online violence.]

I used to envy Qiao Wanshu, thinking she was the most attractive female guest in the room. But now, I'm not envious anymore. It's not because the male guest changed sides, but because Xu Qinghu is just too strong. It's not unfair for her to lose to him.

[Qiao is always the most popular person on any show, but she happened to meet Xu Qinghu.]

[These two will come back from shopping, and I wonder if they're going to team up to make dinner for Hulu? It's fun to think about it.]

Xu Qinghu returned to his room, took a shower, dried his hair, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

Ruan Xiaoyu accompanied her on the other side and said with a smile: "If you want to drink water or eat something, just tell me. I'm your errand boy now."

"Thank you, Xiaoyu." Xu Qinghu smiled at her.

After saying this, she closed her eyes, seemingly asleep, but actually she was thinking about what would happen next.

In the morning, Sister Cao went to the hospital and signed a contract with Du Yanting in black and white, confirming his personal compensation for Xu Qinghu. She also negotiated with the director for more than an hour and secured a high salary and some other resources for Xu Qinghu.

When the dating show ends, she won't have to choose those no-show scripts and can also take the opportunity to enter the fashion industry, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing Du Yanting grit her teeth but helpless, Sister Cao secretly gave her a thumbs-up. After everyone left, she said, "I didn't expect that participating in a dating show would bring me such a pleasant surprise. However, you are the only cash cow for the company right now. Compared with these resources, your safety is more important."

She shook Xu Qinghu's hand, which was under the quilt, and reminded him, "This has now exceeded our previous expectations. You don't need to deliberately approach those stinky men anymore. Just leave the dating show smoothly."

Hearing her concerned words, Xu Qinghu's eyes curved up, "Okay." But he was thinking in his heart that he was dreaming.

She had finally gotten rid of that mad dog Qi Song, but she didn't want the romance show to end like this.

Qi Song was the idiot she had wanted to kick out a long time ago. There were still many vampires in the hut who had sucked so much blood from her. How could she let them go easily?

Thinking of this, Xu Qinghu's mouth curled up, as if he had had a beautiful dream.

The meals for dinner were very light, and were indeed the result of the joint efforts of He Shengnian and You Zhi.

Looking at the two people sitting beside him, Xu Qinghu blinked his eyes. It was simply a case of "left and right are for men".

"Thank you," seeing You Zhi serving him soup and He Shengnian using serving chopsticks to pick up food for him, Xu Qinghu was not as flattered as the audience imagined. He just smiled and accepted the goodwill from both of them.

They act as if it's a matter of course, as if that's how they should take care of themselves.

[Oh my god, what’s the difference between a gourd like this and the emperor?]

[Empress He and Concubine You are simply trying to please the beauties in her harem.]

[I didn't realize there was such a way to open a dating variety show? It's really eye-opening.]

[I've already started to envision my future life. I want to become Xu Qinghu! I want to become Xu Qinghu!]

[Upstairs, do you need me to wake you up with my urine?]

[I can't imagine how happy Xu Qinghu is right now. It's more important than anything else for you three to live a good life.]

[……]
