Chapter 112 Chapter 112 It’s definitely her He’s sure it’s her...
Gu Jingchen sat up from the bed, thinking back to what happened last night, and his already pale face became even gloomier.
But compared to the ending in the dream, simply having his reputation ruined didn't seem like such an unacceptable outcome. It was better than losing his life.
But the feeling of something stuck in his throat still made him feel a little depressed.
"How are you?" The staff member of the program team pushed open the door of the ward with breakfast and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"
Gu Jingchen shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."
"You," the staff member paused, then couldn't help but remind him, "There are a lot of people online questioning your work. After breakfast, please cooperate with the production team to respond as soon as possible."
If Gu Jingchen cannot come up with a reasonable solution, the program team will also suffer and may force him to withdraw.
"I know," Gu Jingchen lowered his eyes, "Don't worry, I'll contact the designer right away."
The staff placed breakfast on the bedside table and said, "If you need any help, you can tell me."
Gu Jingchen nodded, but had no intention of eating breakfast.
The aftereffects of the dream still lingered in his mind, and the voice urging him to suppress Xu Qinghu and Wu Xuan seemed to still echo in his ears.
He leaned against the headboard and sneered, "In my previous life, when Xu Qinghu died, that madman was able to turn the tide. Do you think I can be their opponent?"
He said expressionlessly, "If you want to find someone, go find He Shengnian. He is the center of this world. What's the point of looking for me? Are you going to die again?"
Hearing this, the voice suddenly quieted down.
"Are you worried about affecting the story's direction?" With the memory of his past life, his mind became clearer. "Are you worried that you won't be able to control his thoughts?"
"That's right," Gu Jingchen scoffed. "The world revolves around him. If a broken window effect occurs, it will really go off track."
He climbed up from the hospital bed, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs. His expression was cold and heavy, without any emotion.
On Thursday, Gu Jingchen and Zhong Zining cooked together.
Gu Jingchen hadn't been discharged from the hospital yet, so Zhong Zining had to get up early and prepare breakfast as quickly as possible. Wen Ruoxi heard the sound and said, "Let me help you. I can't sleep anyway."
"Okay," Zhong Zining secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll help next week too."
But when they arrived at the kitchen, they found that He Shengnian had already tied on an apron and was busy at the island counter.
"Mr. He?" Wen Ruoxi was a little surprised. "Didn't you go to the gym today?"
He Shengnian glanced at the two of them and explained in a gentle voice, "I'll help make breakfast."
Zhong Zining took a step forward, looked at the lovingly fried eggs he had made, and immediately curled her lips, "I knew it."
She said meaningfully, "Mr. He, you don't think you can make amends by frying an egg, do you?"
He Shengnian paused and asked, "How can I calm her down?"
Hearing this, Zhong Zining was stunned.
As the first person to take an interest in He Shengnian, she had a deep impression of him. He was mature and reserved. Although he was gentlemanly towards the female guests, he also kept an appropriate distance and would never say such words. But now, he almost threw away all his face for Xu Qinghu.
"Of course it's sincerity," Wen Ruoxi said with a smile, "Clarify all misunderstandings and let the other party feel your sincerity. This is more important than anything else."
He Shengnian thought about their conversation last night. They had already discussed it thoroughly enough, and all that remained was how they would get along with each other in the future.
"Thank you." He nodded to Wen Ruoxi. Zhong Zining, however, was not optimistic. "Even if you are so attentive, Xu Qinghu will probably ignore you anymore, right?"
He Shengnian's choice surprised them all, let alone Xu Qinghu.
"This is a matter between her and me," He Shengnian said without further explanation. "I will make her feel my determination again."
After hearing this, the CP fans who were originally discouraged showed signs of revival.
[Admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Mr. He took the initiative to make amends. Perhaps Hulu will choose to forgive him in the end.]
[+1, After this incident, Mr. He's attitude towards Hulu will definitely change. Let's see if Hulu will be moved.]
[In the cabin, my favorite couple is He Xu, they are the sweetest.]
[Although Mr. He was willing to abandon me this time due to a misunderstanding, will he be able to make a quick decision next time when faced with a bigger crisis? He no longer has any trust in me.]
Xu Qinghu finished putting on makeup and came out of the room with Ruan Xiaoyu. Before they reached the stairs, Wu Xuan's door was opened from the inside, and Wu Xuan, wearing a black shirt, appeared in front of them.
He was still wearing long sleeves and long pants today, but his hair was combed back, revealing his extremely handsome eyebrows and eyes, making him look both cool and sharp.
When he met Xu Qinghu's gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the obvious smile dissipated the coldness between his brows, and his whole person became gentle.
"morning."
"Junior, you look so handsome today," Ruan Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes and sighed: "Are you planning to debut?"
"It's not bad," Wu Xuan walked up to Xu Qinghu and said meaningfully, "If I could act in an idol drama with someone, it wouldn't be impossible."
Ruan Xiaoyu: “…”
"Let's go," Xu Qinghu ignored him and pulled Ruan Xiaoyu downstairs, "We still have to go to work after dinner."
Wu Xuan was not angry either. He followed her with a smile on his face. It was not until he saw He Shengnian in the restaurant that his eyes began to turn cold.
"I'm here," He Sheng said in a young voice when he saw Xu Qinghu: "I made breakfast for you."
Xu Qinghu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Thank you."
In front of the camera, she didn't say no, but her attitude was obviously distant.
He Shengnian continued: "I'll drive you to the company later."
"No thanks," Xu Qinghu found a seat and said calmly, "I've booked a car, so I won't bother you."
This is obviously an excuse. Even if you have booked a car, you can choose to cancel it. There is no need to reject He Shengnian's kindness.
He Shengnian obviously knew this as well. "Then I'll pick you up from get off work this afternoon?"
"Mr. He," Xu Qinghu looked up at him with a helpless expression, "I'm not a kid. I know how to get back to the cabin."
He Shengnian's eyes darkened, but he didn't give up interacting with her. "Then what do you want to eat tonight? Zi Ning and I will prepare dinner together."
"Whatever you want," Xu Qinghu said, "I'm not very picky about food."
She lowered her head and ate some breakfast. Her expression was no different from usual, but everyone in the cabin could feel the role change between her and He Shengnian.
In the past, she was the one who took the initiative to approach He Shengnian and tried her best to win his favor, but now it is He Shengnian who is trying to please her.
It's really a changing world.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt complicated. Who would have thought that the high and mighty boss would also put aside his dignity for others?
Wu Xuan tapped his cup lightly on the table, raised his eyelids and said to He Shengnian, "I didn't expect Mr. He to care so much about everyone's diet. I have a few dishes I want to eat. I wonder if I could trouble you, Mr. He?"
After that, he listed several dishes with complicated steps and looked at He Shengnian with interest. "Boiled Cabbage and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Mr. He should be able to make them, right?"
He Shengnian: “…”
It was almost noon when Gu Jingchen contacted the designer, intending to publicly apologize to him and purchase the copyright of the totem.
The other party didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but Gu Jingchen said that he was willing to donate to remote areas abroad and do his best to improve life there. The designer finally decided to talk to Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen sat on the hospital bed and signaled the cameraman to start the live broadcast. In front of everyone, he solemnly apologized to the designer and compensated him for the totem incident.
The designer opposite listened to him with a cold expression, but did not accept his intention to buy the totem. Instead, he seriously warned Gu Jingchen not to use the totem for commercial purposes, but to strictly abide by the basic ethics as a designer, otherwise he would not be worthy of being a creator.
These words almost stomped on Gu Jingchen's face. Not only could Gu Jingchen not get angry, he also adopted a more sincere attitude towards him in order to ease the online public opinion.
The final outcome was that Gu Jingchen would have to post an apology notice on his account for at least three years. The second requirement was a substantial compensation payment and external donations.
This incident seems to have passed, but it also completely cut off Gu Jingchen's path to becoming a designer.
From now on, it would be almost impossible for him to make a comeback by using his works.
Whenever someone mentions him, the first thing that comes to mind is no longer a young and promising designer, but a speculator who destroyed his own future.
But this behavior still saved him some goodwill.
[Finally, it's clear now. Both of you are excellent designers. Teacher Gu, please don't make the same mistake again.]
[Just saw a well-known brand announce the removal of Gu Jingchen. The fashion show failed, and now he's lost his job. I wonder if the dating show will kick him out.]
[This is the consequence of being careless. If you want to make a living as a designer, don't break the rules, otherwise you will ruin your future.]
[In the final analysis, he deserves it.]
[I'm completely disillusioned with him. A man with questionable character should stay where he belongs.]
Xu Qinghu was sitting in the office. After reading Gu Jingchen's response, he instantly sensed something unusual about him.
Gu Jingchen's eyes changed. Although he used to be very reserved, one could still see his ambition and determination to not be mediocre from his words and actions. But now, the light in his eyes was gone.
The sudden changes last night seemed to have made him lose all his confidence and become extremely depressed.
But this kind of depression is not the gloom of a ruined future, but the deep coldness that has accumulated for many years, which makes Xu Qinghu think of the water surface covered with duckweed, gloomy and dead.
interesting.
Xu Qinghu tapped the table with his fingertips, but what would that change?
She looked at the hot searches on major platforms. Few people felt that he was innocent because he apologized. Instead, they began to discuss the environment of creators. Every few words, they couldn't help but criticize Gu Jingchen.
It was nothing but a pipe dream for him to want to get up.
Xu Qinghu closed the live broadcast in a good mood and followed the physical education teacher into the classroom.
It was not until the evening that Gu Jingchen returned to the cabin.
Although he was not kicked off the dating show, his situation in the cabin was extremely awkward.
"Teacher Gu," Wen Ruoxi greeted him after hearing the door open, "Are you feeling better?"
"Not bad." Gu Jingchen glanced at the kitchen. "Is Zi Ning cooking?"
"Yes," Wen Ruoxi said, "Boss He, help her."
"I'll go over too," Gu Jingchen changed his shoes at the door and strode towards the kitchen. There was no trace of the embarrassment from last night on his face, only calmness remained.
Wen Ruoxi couldn't help but say, "You're not well yet, you should go upstairs and rest first."
Gu Jingchen shook his head. He wanted to meet these old acquaintances from his previous life, especially He Shengnian.
When he pushed open the kitchen door, he saw the man standing in front of the stove. He was tall and straight, with a deep and restrained aura, which made him look both familiar and unfamiliar.
"You're back?" Zhong Zining was the first to notice him and raised her hand to greet him dryly.
Gu Jingchen nodded, but his eyes fell on He Shengnian's profile, his gaze almost focused.
"What's wrong?" He Shengnian frowned. "Is there something on my face?"
"No," Gu Jingchen shook his head, "Thank you for helping Zi Ning tonight."
"It's as it should be," He Shengnian said calmly, "If it's not me, someone else will come."
"He's not doing this for me," Zhong Zining rolled her eyes. "He wants to please Xu Qinghu and make her something delicious."
Hearing this, Gu Jingchen's lips suddenly pursed and his mood became extremely complicated.
In his previous life, He Shengnian and Xu Qinghu didn't have much interaction, and they were no different from familiar strangers. But in this life, he actually had such close contacts with Xu Qinghu.
Judging from He Shengnian's appearance, it is obviously impossible for him to be reborn. Otherwise, with the blessing of the memories of his previous life, how could he abandon his hatred for Wu Xuan and instead develop a good impression of Xu Qinghu?
But such a messy development clearly shows that someone has awakened.
This person was not He Shengnian, not Qiao Wanshu, not anyone else in the cabin, not even Wu Xuan.
But it was Xu Qinghu.
Only she is the biggest variable in this life.
She knew the direction of the relationship between He Qiao and He Shengnian, so she chose He Shengnian for the date, thus preventing the male and female protagonists from having any contact.
She knew that Qi Song had ill intentions towards her, so she took advantage of the situation and made him break his leg and leave.
She also knew how important the fashion show was to her, so she racked her brains to give him a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Everything was done by Xu Qinghu.
She awakened earlier than him, so she started planning as soon as she came to the dating show, just to take revenge on all those who hurt her.
This speculation made Gu Jingchen's breathing stagnate.
If it was just Xu Qinghu alone, it would be easy to set things right and expose her true face, but she has Wu Xuan by her side and so many fans who support her.
She was no longer a negative character that the plot could control. Even if he knew the whole story, he could do nothing about her.
Gu Jingchen watched He Shengnian cooking diligently. What about her feelings towards He Shengnian? Was she just playing along, or did she truly have feelings for him?
At this moment, the sound of an engine was heard outside the house. Gu Jingchen looked through the kitchen window and saw Wu Xuan and Xu Qinghu getting out of the car one after another.
Xu Qinghu looked particularly bright in her white long dress, while the young man standing behind her seemed a little cold and difficult to approach.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, Wu Xuan lowered his eyes and looked over. The moment his eyes met Gu Jingchen's, he even found it difficult to breathe.
That feeling of dying seemed to envelop him again.
