Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Heart-beating Text There is a lot of...
When we returned to the cabin, it was completely dark.
Xu Qinghu pushed open the car door and walked slowly towards the garden with her bag. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Wu Xuan sitting on the swing.
He was wearing a clean white shirt and looked very relaxed, as if he was enjoying the cool air in the garden, but his eyes showed a different expression.
His eyes fell precisely on Xu Qinghu, and as if afraid that she couldn't hear his dissatisfaction, he snorted loudly.
Xu Qinghu's eyes moved, and she pushed open the door and walked in. Her high heels made a crisp sound when they hit the floor, and her skirt lifted slightly, like layers of ripples blooming in the night. Just a few steps made people feel inexplicably nervous.
"Are you angry?" Xu Qinghu sat down beside him, and with a slight push of his toes, the swing began to swing.
Wu Xuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze fell on her fair face. He stared at her almost intently and said angrily: "Sister, do whatever you want. I dare not get angry."
Although his words were generous, his tone was full of sourness. He wanted to tell everyone that he was jealous and that he didn't like her going out on dates with other people.
"I was mistaken," Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled, "I thought my junior was waiting for me on purpose."
Looking into her smiling eyes, Wu Xuan's breathing seemed to stagnate for a moment. All the anger in his heart turned into grievance. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? Since noon."
Xu Qinghu's eyes moved slightly, "I didn't ask you to wait."
Wu Xuan immediately glared at her, "Isn't it okay that I like to wait?"
Xu Qinghu chuckled softly. Looking at his angry expression, he seemed to be in a good mood. "If I hadn't come back, wouldn't you have gone about your own business?"
Wu Xuan stared at her and said, "You look a little different today."
"What's different?" Xu Qinghu didn't avoid his gaze and asked, "Have you become more beautiful?"
"You're a little patient with me." Wu Xuan snorted softly, "After dating other people, you finally realized that I'm the best person for you?"
Xu Qinghu: "..."
Seeing his smug look, she laughed again, "If I don't date you, you won't wait for me?"
Wu Xuan noticed that her attitude had softened, and immediately took action, "How is that possible? I am your loyal backup. Even if you date other people ten thousand times, I will still wait for you."
After saying that, he winked at Xu Qinghu and said, "As long as sister doesn't forget me, that's all that matters."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
"What did you do with him today?" He couldn't help but mutter: "Was the place you went interesting? Were you happy with me?"
Xu Qinghu looked at Wu Xuan for a moment, lowered his eyelashes and said, "It's okay, it's no different from usual."
Wu Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, "Did he make you angry?"
Xu Qinghu shook his head and explained, "Teacher Gu was the first person I dated after coming to the cabin. I asked him out now just to say goodbye."
This statement was tantamount to completely drawing a line between him and Gu Jingchen, indicating that from now on, they would have no more contact.
[I see. I thought Hulu had feelings for Teacher Gu, so that's why he asked him out.]
[Qiao Wanshu got Mr. He away, so it doesn't matter who Xu Qinghu dates.]
[Although, Hulu and Xuedi are obviously very good, I am more optimistic about them.]
[No matter what, the ex-boyfriend is still better than He Shengnian. At least he will stand up for Xu Qinghu when he needs him.]
[Seeing how Hulu and his junior get along, I'm inexplicably moved. Can they really not get back together?]
When Gu Jingchen entered the room, he saw Xu Qinghu and Wu Xuan sitting together. His eyes flashed and he lowered his head and walked into the living room.
Xu Qinghu tricked the information he wanted out of him, and was sure to guess what Wu Xuan did in his previous life, and would most likely end up holding hands with Wu Xuan.
But it was none of his business anymore.
He lost all dignity in front of Xu Qinghu and just wanted to leave the city after the romance show ended and stay away from her and Wu Xuan.
"You can be consistent with him, so why can't you be so good to me?" Wu Xuan couldn't help but say, "I want to go out on a date with you too."
"Who told you to come so late?" Xu Qinghu said without blinking, "Otherwise you would have gone on a date with me a long time ago."
Wu Xuan: “…”
The two had not been in the garden for long when they heard the sound of an engine outside.
He Shengnian, dressed in a suit, got out of the car without even noticing Xu Qinghu, and walked into the cabin with a cold expression.
Seeing the veins bulging on his forehead and his expression of wanting no one to approach him, I knew that something unbearable must have happened during the date.
Xu Qinghu gently swung on the swing, with a trace of thought in his eyes. It was not easy to anger He Shengnian. What on earth did Qiao Wanshu do?
Soon Qiao Wanshu also came back. Her forehead was wrapped in gauze and her jaw was bruised. She looked miserable and had no trace of the calm and elegance of a rich lady.
"What happened to Qiao Qiao?" Concerned greetings soon rang out from the hut. "How did he get injured suddenly?"
"It's all my fault," Qiao Wanshu said, blaming himself and helplessly, "I didn't look carefully at the road ahead when I was on a date with Mr. He, and I accidentally fell to the ground and hurt my face."
"Huh?" Ruan Xiaoyu blinked. "You're being too careless. What did the doctor say? Will it leave scars?"
Qiao Wanshu: "It's just a minor injury, it will be healed after a while."
"Then you should also pay attention to your diet recently," Wen Ruoxi said, "If you have any dietary restrictions, please tell us."
"It's okay," Qiao Wanshu shook his head and said with a forced smile, "As long as you don't eat spicy food."
But her injury still made everyone a little worried. They couldn't help but look upstairs. He Shengnian never came out after returning to his room. It seemed that he was not worried about Qiao Wanshu's condition at all. It was a bit too indifferent.
"Thank you all for your concern," Qiao Wanshu said. He didn't like all the attention being on him. "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first."
She hurried back to the room and kept sending messages to He Shengnian, hoping that he could forget what happened today and that she would never bother him again.
No matter how shameless she was, she felt ashamed after she regained her composure.
He Shengnian didn't reply to her, so she called Qiao Xicheng again and told him that this path of He Shengnian's was completely blocked.
Qiao Xicheng was extremely disappointed with her after hearing this. "Even if you fail, what about the photos and videos I asked you to take?"
He said coldly: "There must be something useful."
As early as when Qiao Wanshu sneaked into He Shengnian's room, they had made two preparations. If He Shengnian accepted her, they would have no worries at all. If He Shengnian did not comply, they could also use the pinhole camera to capture useful information.
Qiao Wanshu had already seen those things and said, "They are useless."
She gripped the phone tightly. "He rejected me from the beginning."
"Impossible," Qiao Xicheng said, "As long as you do as I say, it will definitely work."
Qiao Wanshu looked at the video screenshots. There were indeed photos of her naked body hugging He Shengnian, but what did this prove? Even if it was exposed, it would only be her shameless flirting.
It was not He Shengnian who was destroyed, but herself.
Qiao Xicheng said: "Give me the things, I will use them for my own benefit."
"Threatening He Shengnian?" Qiao Wanshu asked, "If he doesn't agree to invest, will you expose these photos?"
Qiao Xicheng was silent for a few seconds, then said quietly, "There's nothing we can do about it."
"What about me?" Qiao Wanshu said with a trembling voice, his throat sore. "What about my reputation and privacy? Don't you care at all?"
"Your reputation?" Qiao Xicheng was amused by her questioning tone. "Qiao Wanshu, without me and the Qiao family, what reputation do you have? Don't forget, I am your support. Only when the Qiao family recovers can you continue to be the eldest daughter. Otherwise, even if you stand on the street, you won't be able to live your current life!"
Qiao Wanshu's tears fell instantly. She didn't expect Qiao Xicheng to say such words to her.
"Brother, are you still my brother?" She covered her chest, the strong feeling of suffocation made her slowly slide to the ground, "Are you still the brother who said you would protect me when we were little?"
Tears fell from her eyes, and she seemed to fall into a thick fog. "You knew I didn't want to, so why did you force me? Why?"
"Force you?" Qiao Xicheng sneered: "If forcing you can bring the Qiao family back to life, then I am forcing you."
"It's useless," Qiao Wanshu said, lying on the ground, feeling hopeless. "I've deleted all those videos and photos. You'll never be able to use them to threaten anyone."
She had pushed herself to the limit by taking off her clothes in front of He Shengnian. If Qiao Xicheng still wanted to use the photos to make money, she would no longer be able to regard him as her family.
"Brother, don't force me," she cried, "You know that none of us can save the Qiao family."
"Why can't we save him?" Qiao Xicheng said expressionlessly, "We can do it, Qiao Qiao. Even without He Shengnian, there are still others. There will always be someone willing to help us."
He patiently said, "Brother is so good to you, and so are your parents. You won't let us down, right?"
Qiao Wanshu's body stiffened. He intuitively felt that the person on the other end of the phone was a devil and not his relative at all.
"No," she interrupted Qiao Xicheng, "People who truly love me would never let me do these things. You don't love me at all, otherwise why don't you get married? Why don't you do the same thing as me... I don't like this, I don't want to!"
After she had spoken her heart out, she curled up and cried bitterly.
Qiao Xicheng will never know how embarrassing it was for her to take off her clothes in front of He Shengnian. If He Shengnian hadn't pushed her away, perhaps she could have brainwashed herself, but when she came to her senses, all that was left was deep self-loathing.
No one could empathize with her pain, the kind that made her want to cut off every inch of her skin.
After dinner, time quickly came to ten o'clock.
The director reminded everyone to send text messages to the guests they liked as soon as possible.
Xu Qinghu and Ruan Xiaoyu lay on the bed, lowered their eyes and began to edit text messages.
Ruan Xiaoyu did not write anyone's name on the date card, and finally went out on a date with Du Yanting. Although there was no spark between them, she still felt very happy. After she came back, she decided to send the text message to him.
Not long after, the program team released everyone's text messages.
[You Zhi to Xu Qinghu]: "Did you have fun today? I hope you did, and I hope you have a good dream. Good night."
[Du Yanting to Xu Qinghu]: "Compared to Gu Jingchen, you should have invited me. Wouldn't we be a perfect match as partners?"
[He Shengnian to Xu Qinghu]: "I miss you especially today."
[Wu Xuan to Xu Qinghu]: "I don't want you to have both. I just want you to choose me, no matter how many times."
[Gu Jingchen to Xu Qinghu]: "This was a very special date experience, one I will remember for the rest of my life. I hope you and I can both let go of the past and move forward without hesitation. I wish you happiness."
[Oh my god!]
After seeing everyone’s text messages, the live broadcast room exploded.
[This might be the only time in a dating show where all the male guests texted the same female guest. Xu Qinghu is so charming!]
[Are you sure this isn't just my imagination? You know, when Xu Qinghu first joined the dating variety show, she was subjected to a lot of online bullying. No one except You Zhi would have chosen her.]
[Although, this is so cool! All the men who used to look down on Hulu have now been slapped in the face.]
[From He Shengnian to Du Yanting and back to He Shengnian, there is no man that Xu Qinghu cannot win.]
[I can't think of anything else to say except "awesome!" This is a true comeback!]
[It doesn't matter if she wasn't popular at first, she still managed to become the most popular female guest later on. This is Xu Qinghu's strength!]
[After watching the live broadcast for so long, I just want to say that Xu Qinghu is awesome! Xu Qinghu is the best!]
These text messages directly made Xu Qinghu and the program team a hot topic, triggering a new round of discussion storm.
Most of them were praising Xu Qinghu, and they wanted to praise her to the sky.
Soon, the program team made public the text messages of the female guests:
[Ruan Xiaoyu to Du Yanting]: "Mr. Du is so handsome today. Thank you for giving me such a special date experience. I'm giving you crazy hearts."
[Wen Ruoxi to Wu Xuan]: "Although our date was short, thank you for arranging it. I wish you the happiness you desire."
[Zhong Zining to You Zhi]: "I only just realized you're the most considerate male guest in the room. If I'd noticed earlier, I would have definitely kept you firmly in my grasp. What a pity."
[Qiao Wanshu to He Shengnian]: "I'm sorry I didn't give you a good date. If I had the chance to make up for it, I would definitely make another choice. I really don't want to disappoint you. Can you... forgive me?"
[Xu Qinghu to Gu Jingchen]: “Every story has an end, including yours and mine.”
[Damn, the messages from the female guests are quite informative, especially Qiao Wanshu and Xu Qinghu. I have no idea what they're trying to say.]
[This isn't a simple matter. Qiao Wanshu felt that her fall ruined the date, so she apologized to He. Xu Qinghu simply wanted to distance herself from Gu Jingchen.]
[Emm, it doesn't seem that simple. Xu Qinghu is fine, but Qiao Wanshu and He Shengnian are clearly having issues.]
[+1, the production team didn't even show the video of Qiao Wanshu falling. There must be something fishy going on here.]
[Even if you fell, you shouldn't be so humble. What on earth does Qiao Wanshu want to do?]
There was a lot of discussion about Qiao Wanshu online, and everyone wanted to know why she fell, but the program team did not release any videos. Instead, they used her to attract traffic.
