Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Undercurrent Why did she choose him...
The two figures, one in front and one behind, attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared, just like the appearance in an idol drama.
The man walking in front was wearing a well-tailored black suit. He had a tall figure and eyes as deep as an ancient well. He looked like a domineering CEO who walked out of a novel. His every move exuded a sense of oppression, making people hold their breath unconsciously.
The man who came over next was wearing a clean white shirt, gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his shirt collar was slightly open, revealing his slender neck. His face was extremely handsome, like the summer breeze blowing through the corridor, and his whole body was warm and elegant.
When the two appeared in front of the camera, many viewers exclaimed that they were handsome.
[When I see He Shengnian and Gu Jingchen, I won't scream. They're so handsome! Compared to them, the young and handsome guys in the entertainment industry are nothing!]
[Can I take over this episode? There are four equally handsome guys, and each one is top-notch!]
[I like He Shengnian the most. He is so calm and domineering, exactly the domineering CEO I imagined.]
[Gu Jingchen is more gentle. If he can't find a partner, I'm not against it.]
When the two walked in, the first person they noticed was naturally Xu Qinghu.
Xu Qinghu was wearing a red suspender skirt. Her skin was as white as fresh snow, and her appearance was beautiful and strong. When she raised her eyes slightly, her eyes were bright and clear, giving people an extremely stunning feeling.
Aggressive beauty.
Even though He Shengnian had seen many beauties, he couldn't help but stop for a moment when he saw Xu Qinghu.
A miraculous work of the Creator.
Xu Qinghu's mouth, nose and eyebrows are all just right, and the most exquisite thing is her eyes.
She has such an aggressive beauty, but her eyes are black and white and her gaze is very clear.
This is the most contradictory part of her.
"Hello," He Shengnian sat down next to Du Yanting and extended his hand to the girl. "My name is He Shengnian, welcome."
"Hello." Xu Qinghu also extended her hand. Perhaps it was because the air conditioning in the restaurant was a little cold, her hand was soft yet cold. "Xu Qinghu."
The temperature in He Shengnian's hands was very hot, and the two of them were almost at two extremes.
In an instant, they withdrew their hands.
Xu Qinghu's eyes fell on Gu Jingchen.
The man sat farthest from her, looking at her with an obviously gentle expression in his eyes, appearing particularly approachable.
Xu Qinghu thought about the plot in the novel and understood why he chose him as his target.
Because he was so easy to get close to.
It seemed like anyone who appeared next to him could get his attention.
Compared with He Shengnian and Du Yanting, he has a gentle personality and is the easiest to get.
As for why she didn't choose Du Yanting and He Shengnian, Xu Qinghu was very self-aware. She didn't want to waste her time on someone who would ultimately be of no return.
Gu Jingchen is the most suitable one.
But now, Xu Qinghu raised the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hand to Gu Jingchen, "Hello, my name is Xu Qinghu."
Sometimes, whether or not something is rewarding can only be determined after you’ve done it. Furthermore, the end result isn’t that important; the process is.
She needs this process.
"Hello." Gu Jingchen shook her hand and immediately introduced himself.
As soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by Xu Qinghu. He worked in design and could not take his eyes off such a nearly perfect face.
He had a gentle smile on his face, "Sorry, I'm a little late. Have you been waiting long?"
Among the few people, he was the only one who cared about Xu Qinghu's feelings while waiting.
"Not bad," Xu Qinghu retracted his hand, "Did you just get off work?"
"Yes," Gu Jingchen said softly, "I just received the date message this afternoon, so I had to finish my work first."
After saying that, he raised his hand and called the waiter guarding the door, asking them to turn up the temperature in the room and also asked for a blanket for Xu Qinghu.
The atmosphere in the restaurant became much more harmonious because of his arrival.
Xu Qinghu looked at his methodical appearance and thought that it was inevitable that she would fall in love with him in the novel.
Who wouldn’t like such a considerate and graceful man?
"I haven't asked you what you do yet," Gu Jingchen naturally livened up the atmosphere. "I guess you work in something related to fashion. Am I right?"
“There is a connection, but it’s not accurate.”
"Can you tell me about it?" He took the initiative to introduce his profession, saying that he was a designer for a well-known brand.
Xu Qinghu introduced herself as a writer in the novel and did not mention that she would enter the entertainment industry after leaving the show.
This is also the main reason why everyone later rejected and criticized her.
Because she lied from the beginning.
Xu Qinghu reintroduced his age and occupation, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face as if he was trying to ride on the popularity of the show.
Gu Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Your face is indeed suitable for the big screen. The scout who discovered you is really amazing."
He spoke sincerely, without any pretense. He truly thought Xu Qinghu would be a good candidate for a career in acting.
Upon hearing this, He Shengnian looked at Xu Qinghu again, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see her true thoughts.
Is she here to increase her exposure, or is she really looking for a partner?
Xu Qinghu didn't avoid his gaze, but raised his eyes and smiled at him, revealing just the right amount of confusion, "What's wrong? Do you have any questions for me?"
Although she was smiling, He Shengnian could not see any emotion in her eyes.
"Why do you suddenly want to be an entertainer?" He said in a low and pleasant voice, "If you wanted to enter the entertainment industry, you should have planned it a long time ago."
"It was a coincidence," Xu Qinghu seemed unaware of the inquiry in his words, "I wanted to try a different life."
He Shengnian nodded, "Do you need to report to the agency tomorrow?"
"It depends on the company's arrangements," Xu Qinghu picked up the water cup in front of him, "If there are no arrangements, I have my own things to do."
When You Zhi heard this, he thought of how Xu Qinghu had introduced her profession before, saying that her main job was a contracted artist. So did she have any side jobs?
He looked at Xu Qinghu's delicate face and fell into deep thought.
"Do you consider her as your company's employee?" Gu Jingchen interrupted He Shengnian's question, "Everyone is hungry, let's eat first."
At this time, the waiter brought dinner to the table and the five people ate and chatted.
When we first met, the questions he asked were very simple, either related to work or hobbies.
"I usually like to go hiking during my free time," Gu Jingchen said, looking at Xu Qinghu with a smile. "I've been to several mountains in the suburbs and have made a lot of guides. If you need them, I'll share them with you when I get back."
"Thank you." Xu Qinghu cut the steak with a knife. "We can go hiking together if there's a chance."
Gu Jingchen thought that she was about to move into the cottage, and understood what she meant.
If they could go out on a date together, maybe they could go hiking.
Gu Jingchen looked at her beautiful face and guessed that she might have some feelings for him.
"Of course," he did not refuse Xu Qinghu in front of the camera, "When the time comes, we can choose a hill and climb up to enjoy the scenery."
Upon hearing this, the others looked at Xu Qinghu, thinking that she wanted to have further contact with Gu Jingchen.
A trace of loss flashed across You Zhi's eyes.
He had a good impression of Xu Qinghu, but after other people came, they had almost no communication.
[What's going on? Has the fifth female character already identified her target? This is too fast.]
[That's Gu Jingchen. All the girls in the room have a crush on him.]
[Gu Jingchen is so gentle, and his whole personality is as tolerant as water. It's normal to have a good impression of him.]
[But doesn’t Gu Jingchen like Qiao Wanshu? They even went out on a date, and I’m already starting to get all sugary!]
[It's only been a few days, don't lock the CP too early, can't you wait and see later?]
"Would you like some salad?" Gu Jingchen asked at the right time when he saw Xu Qinghu put down his knife and fork.
"Thank you." Xu Qinghu handed over his plate.
Gu Jingchen took the plate and helped her serve some salad.
"How is it?" he asked with a smile, "Not bad, is it?"
"Hmm," Xu Qinghu said with a smile after trying it, "I like the crushed nuts mixed in."
Seeing their eyes meet, Du Yanting said slowly, "I remember Qiao Qiao also likes to eat salad in the evening."
This one sentence brought the originally harmonious atmosphere to a standstill.
"Who is Qiao Qiao?" Xu Qinghu looked at him suspiciously, "Is she the female guest in the cabin?"
Du Yanting looked at Gu Jingchen.
The program crew arranged a date for them the day after they arrived at the cabin. Gu Jingchen and Qiao Wanshu chose the same date location, and their relationship had obviously changed after the date.
Everyone assumed that the two would continue to contact each other.
But now, Gu Jingchen and Xu Qinghu also get along very well.
When Du Yanting mentioned Qiao Wanshu, he did so with the intention of adding more highlights to the show, but he also had the intention of creating trouble for Xu Qinghu.
After all, no one likes their date to mention other girls during the date, especially female guests who are also participating in the show.
What was his purpose? Did he want to provoke a conflict between her and Qiao Wanshu in advance, so that she would go against Qiao Wanshu after entering the cabin?
"It's the girl in the cabin," Gu Jingchen explained with a smile: "She doesn't eat much staple food for dinner, she prefers salad."
"She must be a very self-disciplined girl," Xu Qinghu said slowly, "If I hadn't come out on a date with you guys, I wouldn't have eaten staple food for dinner."
Du Yanting wanted to change the topic to Qiao Wanshu, but she refused and wanted to bring it back to herself.
Du Yanting's eyes flashed, and he gave another strong answer, "That's perfect. Teacher Gu has been preparing salad for Qiao Qiao these past two days. Maybe you two can eat together."
Xu Qinghu looked at Du Yanting. The man had a smile on his face, as if he didn't realize that he had exposed anything.
Xu Qinghu knew he did it on purpose.
But she wasn't about to jump into his cage.
"I'm afraid that won't work," Xu Qinghu said with a look of regret, "I need to customize my own dinner, so I probably won't be able to eat with everyone else."
Her words sounded like a response to Du Yanting, but in fact the meaning of the answer was completely different.
He wanted her to get emotional and ask about Qiao Wanshu, but why should she do as he wished?
