Chapter 105 Chapter 105 Behavior Inappropriate Her behavior is getting more and more...
Although "Gu Jingchen" has determined his own goals, his purpose in participating in the dating variety show is to increase his popularity.
He did not explicitly reject a beautiful and popular female guest like Xu Qinghu, but instead wanted to use her to gain more attention and even stimulate Qiao Wanshu's desire to win.
He wanted to wait until he and Qiao Wanshu had achieved a happy ending before telling Xu Qinghu his true thoughts. By then, as long as he was sincere enough, even if Xu Qinghu was unwilling, he would have to accept this fact.
So he not only accepted Xu Qinghu's flattery, but also occasionally expressed his expectations of her to her, and watched coldly as Xu Qinghu fell deeper and deeper.
But was he really not moved when Xu Qinghu approached him?
Seeing her preparing breakfast for herself, racking her brains to get an extra date card, and her eyes full of her own appearance, how could she not be moved?
But compared to love, he cares more about his future.
In the dream, You Zhi had no fondness for Xu Qinghu; they were merely nodding acquaintances. Xu Qinghu's bulging bag of gourd seeds was also given to "Gu Jingchen," who, claiming the seeds were too precious, left them on a cabinet to gather dust.
Xu Qinghu did not choose He Shengnian for her first official date at the cottage, but went to a handmade flower shop with him, further deepening the ambiguity between the two.
Although He Shengnian has many scenes in the entire dream, he has almost no interaction with Xu Qinghu and is mostly with Qiao Wanshu.
Like "Gu Jingchen", he had a good impression of Qiao Wanshu when they first met, and then he pursued Qiao Wanshu according to the normal process. Even though Qiao Wanshu had a better impression of Du Yanting in the early stage, He Shengnian did not give up easily, but stayed quietly by her side, looking for the right opportunity.
With Xu Qinghu's stimulation, Qiao Wanshu's attention to "Gu Jingchen" gradually increased.
After all, Xu Qinghu is too competitive. Every time something happens, online public opinion always blames her from all sides, and it will become a hot topic the next day.
At first, "Gu Jingchen" thought that she had no audience appeal, but as time went by, his keen sense of smell made him realize that there was a force behind the scenes controlling public opinion and wanted to make Xu Qinghu the target of public criticism in the romance variety show.
This speculation sent a chill down his spine.
But we are not sure who is the capital behind it?
But this did not affect his interactions with Xu Qinghu. Every time he saw Xu Qinghu's delicate and beautiful face, he would sigh in his heart, as if he had already predetermined her ending.
If he could stop at this moment and give Xu Qinghu a chance to live, perhaps his final outcome would not be so tragic.
In the dream, Gu Jingchen not only did not sympathize with Xu Qinghu, but deepened his relationship with her. Every time he hit a wall with Qiao Wanshu, he would turn around and complain to Xu Qinghu, trying his best to play the role of a miserable person who needed to be understood in front of her.
Whenever Xu Qinghu got angry because he chose Qiao Wanshu, he would say: "I know you have feelings for me, but we don't know each other well enough. I hope we can both get in touch with more people, and if we still feel that we are the most suitable for each other in the end, we can go back to each other."
It was like there was a big, plump red apple in front of Xu Qinghu. If he wanted to have a relationship with him, he had to keep chasing that apple until he was exhausted.
Every time he saw her sad because of his special feelings for Qiao Wanshu, "Gu Jingchen" would feel indescribably happy in his heart. He would admire Xu Qinghu's sadness from a high position and glimpse his endless creative inspiration from it.
He likes to see people suffering for him.
Every time he saw the red corners of Xu Qinghu's eyes, he would design something that would amaze him.
For this, he even did more things to hurt her.
For example, when she took the initiative to ask Qiao Wanshu what he thought of him, he would get angry and accuse her of going to Qiao Wanshu for her own selfish reasons. Her behavior was very rude. He hoped that she could calm down and not lose herself in the cabin!
"If Qiao Qiao is troubled because of me, then our participation in the show has lost its meaning," he said, unable to hide his anger. "Qiao Qiao has a great personality and has never done anything wrong. I hope you can control your emotions and not cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
That was the first time that "Gu Jingchen" clearly favored Qiao Wanshu.
It's not just a liking for each other, it's a clear choice made between them.
Xu Qinghu stood there, silent for a long time before saying, "What about you? Do you also think I did something wrong?"
Looking at her slightly dim eyes, "Gu Jingchen" was extremely pleased with himself, but he hated the trouble Xu Qinghu brought him even more.
"You should ask me before making any decision," he said meaningfully, "We can solve our own problems, why bother others?"
"Besides, I'm friends with everyone else in the cabin. How am I supposed to get along with them in the future if you go so crazy for me? You can't be so selfish."
His tone softened and he calmed Xu Qinghu's emotions again, hoping that she could give him time to think about it.
That time, Xu Qinghu looked at him for a long time, as if thinking about whether to continue contacting him.
"Gu Jingchen" stood there and realized that although Xu Qinghu's eyes were beautiful, they were also very deep, like a bottomless lake, which had seen through his dirty thoughts long ago.
But she finally nodded and said, "If you don't like me, you can tell me clearly and I won't bother you."
She frowned, and it seemed like she was having difficulty saying this.
Gu Jingchen was stunned. He didn't expect that she would actually think of giving up on him.
The dating variety show had just ended not long ago, and he had finally gained traffic by pulling in the strings between the two female guests. How could he let Xu Qinghu leave?
He immediately said: "It's not that I don't have feelings for you, but I take relationships very seriously. I don't want to give you hope easily before I can guarantee that I can give you the life you want."
Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes and said slowly, "I originally thought that you and I were the ones heading for each other, so I wanted to ask Qiao Wanshu what she thought. If she doesn't like you, then you don't need to be torn between me and her. If she also has feelings for you, then I am willing to bless you both."
At this point, Xu Qinghu paused and said, "Although I like you, I hope you can be happy even more."
Seeing her clear eyes, Gu Jingchen thought he was hallucinating. Didn't Xu Qinghu like him? Why would she say such a thing?
It seemed as if she could withdraw at any time and approach other men.
Looking at her extremely beautiful face, "Gu Jingchen" couldn't imagine that if she applied the same care she had for him to other people, would they still be as calm as he was?
No! Absolutely not!
How could she easily take back her feelings for him? He disagreed!
"No," Gu Jingchen said in the dream, "If I were indifferent to you, how could I let you get close? I just have many doubts about the feelings that have developed in such a short time. I hope you can give me some more time to think about it."
Whether it was for the traffic of the show or for his secret affection for Xu Qinghu, he would never let her leave.
Even if it was a lie, he would keep her by his side.
Hearing this, Xu Qinghu's expression relaxed noticeably, as if the previous words were all her illusions and her feelings for him had not changed at all.
But "Gu Jingchen" still felt a subtle gap.
In the past, Xu Qinghu would get up every morning to make loving breakfast for him, but she never did it again after that.
In the past, she would always fight hard for a date card just to take him out for a trip, but later, even if the opportunity was given to her, she did not fight for herself.
He even discovered that after get off work, Xu Qinghu would help Du Yanting cook dinner, chat with You Zhi in the garden, and even get close to He Shengnian.
She seemed to care a lot about online public opinion and asked He Shengnian, a lawyer, for a solution.
Although He Shengnian did not have a good impression of her, he still patiently told her the litigation process.
Xu Qinghu further asked whether she could invite him to represent her in the case. He Shengnian did not agree, but handed her a business card and said that she could contact the company's employees.
This discovery made "Gu Jingchen" feel like a husband who caught his wife cheating on him. He immediately looked for an opportunity to ask Xu Qinghu what he was trying to do.
Xu Qinghu was puzzled by his rude behavior. "Why are you so angry? I'm just interacting with them normally. Are you going to stop me?"
Gu Jingchen took a deep breath and said, "Xu Qinghu, if you have other ideas, you can tell me directly. You don't have to hide it from me and contact them."
At this time, some people on the Internet had already begun to spread the negative news that Xu Qinghu participated in the dating variety show in order to enter the entertainment industry.
"Gu Jingchen" already had some complaints about her, and when he saw her flirting between several men, he became even more suspicious that she had ulterior motives.
There was an almost sharp scrutiny in his eyes.
"If you have other goals, not only will I not stop you, I will also give you my sincere blessings."
He said this in an almost jealous tone, but his mood was not as calm as he appeared.
He finally realized that his feelings for Xu Qinghu were more than just good feelings.
Even if he tried his best to restrain himself, he still couldn't deceive himself about his true thoughts about Xu Qinghu.
He likes her.
If it weren't for his future and career, he might have given up on Qiao Wanshu and expressed his feelings to Xu Qinghu.
But compared to the ethereal love, he wanted to use Qiao Wanshu's popularity to increase his fame.
"Really?" Xu Qinghu looked into his eyes, seemed disappointed to get such an answer, and fell silent.
"Would you like anyone else?"
"Gu Jingchen" approached her and pressed her, "Are you as good to them as you are to me?"
Xu Qinghu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, her eyes became empty for a moment, as if she had become a mindless marionette, and she mechanically replied: "Of course not, I only have a good impression of you."
Gu Jingchen in the dream didn't notice anything wrong, but Gu Jingchen in the real world saw something wrong.
Gu Jingchen laughed, very satisfied with the answer, "Then don't get close to anyone else except me in the future."
He said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I am very unhappy with you, you'd better behave yourself."
Xu Qinghu nodded and walked into the cabin with him.
Afterwards, the two returned to their normal state of getting along. "Gu Jingchen" tried to please Qiao Wanshu, and Xu Qinghu tried to please "Gu Jingchen". The love triangle became more and more popular, attracting crowds of audiences.
But most people were scolding Xu Qinghu, saying that she was a mistress and a scheming bitch. If it weren't for her constant pestering, "Gu Jingchen" would definitely have gotten married with Qiao Wanshu.
Little did he know that Gu Jingchen had long realized that Qiao Wanshu didn't like him. The reason she dated him might be for the popularity of the love triangle, or maybe to compete with Xu Qinghu, but definitely not for him.
"Gu Jingchen" had already made up his mind. After Qiao Wanshu rejected him, he would turn to Xu Qinghu, so that it would not seem too abrupt.
He can still continue to eat couple traffic.
After that, Qi Song abandoned Xu Qinghu in the mountains in order to stand up for her.
He waited in the hut for a long time. When Xu Qinghu came back, he found that she was covered with bruises. He couldn't suppress his anger and got angry at her.
Perhaps he was already used to suppressing Xu Qinghu and knew that no matter what he did, she would not leave easily.
Not only did he not blame Qi Song, but he also accused Xu Qinghu of not protecting himself and causing trouble for everyone.
"The mountains are so dangerous. If something happens to you, will the show continue? If you want to quit, don't drag everyone down with you!"
He subconsciously stood on the same front with Qi Song, looking at Xu Qinghu's embarrassment, expecting to see her blaming herself and collapsing, needing to rely on herself.
Xu Qinghu revealed that deep look again. There was no love in his eyes, only a desolation like ten thousand years of ice.
It's like I never really liked him.
"Gu Jingchen"'s heartbeat quickened, and he subconsciously spoke soft words and took the initiative to help her treat the wound.
This time, Xu Qinghu returned to him obediently.
It seemed that no matter what "Gu Jingchen" said, she would not refute him, but would let him play with her like a doll.
As for Qi Song, not only did he not quit the program because of his serious injury, but he still stayed with Qiao Wanshu, jumping out from time to time to mock Xu Qinghu.
What happened later was even more different from what he remembered.
Dark materials about Xu Qinghu's plastic surgery and improper private life were exposed one after another, coupled with the bombshell that she abandoned her ex-boyfriend and was unfilial to her parents, not only shocked "Gu Jingchen", but also made everyone else in the room stay away from her.
The development of the situation has completely exceeded the control of "Gu Jingchen". No matter how much he likes Xu Qinghu, he has to cut ties with her under the urgent circumstances.
Compared with his future, the illusory love is insignificant.
Before breaking up, he thought about asking Xu Qinghu to verify the truth, but for some reason, Xu Qinghu didn't seem to care about the online revelations, nor did she think about clarifying it, but just let public opinion overwhelm her.
This is a clear break from the previous image of seeking help from He Shengnian's law firm in order to calm public opinion.
This is also the biggest contrast between dreams and reality.
In reality, Xu Qinghu handled all public opinions with tough measures, but in the dream, Xu Qinghu was like a confused puppet, with no crisis public relations ability at all.
Or is it that the capital behind her is suppressing her so much that she can't even raise her head?
Is this really the case?
Gu Jingchen had already vaguely realized something.
