Chapter 61 Chapter 61 It’s not a good feeling. I’m cruel to him and I’m kind to him…
After smelling the familiar scent, Xu Qinghu's originally dizzy head instantly became a little clearer.
She lay on the man's broad back, subconsciously put her arms around his neck, and murmured over and over again: "Is it Mr. He? Is it He Shengnian..."
Her attitude towards men is dependent and clingy, like a ferocious cat with bared fangs and claws, but she finally softens in front of her master, leaving only a sense of security.
She even rubbed her cheek against He Shengnian's shoulder, looking adorable.
He Shengnian listened to her mumbling and whispered again, "It's me."
Xu Qinghu opened her hazy eyes and looked at his handsome profile. It was as if she had found a supporter. She complained aggrievedly: "You finally came to see me... Do you know how scared I was just now? What should I do if I never see you again..."
As she spoke, she sobbed twice, as if she was reluctant to leave He Shengnian.
The man paused and looked back at her. Xu Qinghu's eyes were moist and hazy, like the misty surface of a lake, which made people feel soft-hearted unconsciously.
"I'm sorry," he said, his thin lips parting slightly. His deep eyes were no longer as calm as an ancient well, but were instead filled with intense and burning emotions. "It's my fault. I should have come sooner."
Xu Qinghu's eyes curved when he heard this. He rubbed his shoulder again and whispered, "You said so. You must protect me well in the future..."
She yawned slightly, as if she was in extreme discomfort, and lay on his back, gently closing her eyes.
He Shengnian looked at her for a few seconds before looking away and slowly said, "I said so."
Du Yanting followed closely behind the two of them, ready to step forward to help when He Shengnian encountered a difficult section of the road, but what he heard was Xu Qinghu's aggrieved and coquettish voice to him.
The voice was so sweet, like honey mixed with sweetness, and it made the listener's heart beat faster.
If Xu Qinghu was not talking to He Shengnian, Du Yanting's mood would not be as complicated as it is now.
Xu Qinghu, a hypocritical woman, is cruel and calculating towards herself, but soft-hearted and flattering towards He Shengnian.
Even Sichuan Opera can’t change faces as well as she can.
What made him grit his teeth even more was that He Shengnian actually enjoyed it, looking like he was being harshly controlled by Xu Qinghulu.
If he knew what Xu Qinghu had talked about with him before, would he still think that she was a simple, weak and pitiful little thing who needed to be protected?
Du Yanting sneered in his heart. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qinghu's small back. Thinking of her performance after participating in the dating variety show, his mood became even more complicated.
Whenever he thought she might not be able to get up, she would always appear as a winner and catch him off guard.
Du Yanting curled his lips, eggs really need to be put in two baskets.
Only to abandon one of them before the true ending arrives.
There is always only one most dazzling pearl, and the same goes for the most popular female guest in a dating show.
His previous choice was Qiao Wanshu, as she had lots of buffs and was the only option in the hut, but now, his decision had to shift.
Since you're going to such great lengths, keep surprising me.
He looked deeply at Xu Qinghu's back and unconsciously raised the flashlight to illuminate the increasingly muddy mountain road ahead of her.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, the three finally met the search and rescue team. They quickly took Xu Qinghu down the mountain and headed straight for the nearest hospital.
At that time, the other guests who were still waiting in the cabin saw that it was almost ten o'clock, but Xu Qinghu and others had not returned yet, so they began to ask about the situation over there.
"It's almost time to text," Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "When will they be back?"
She kept looking towards the door, worry evident in her eyes.
"He must have been delayed on the way," Wen Ruoxi guessed, "Even if he didn't come back, the text message should still be sent in time."
Ruan Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "I hope so."
As they were talking, the sound of an engine was heard outside the house. Several people subconsciously stood up to greet it, but in the end, only Qiao Wanshu got out of the car.
"Are you alone?" Wen Ruoxi looked at Qiao Wanshu's disheveled appearance, and her eyes suddenly changed: "Why is there a scratch on your leg? I remember there is a medicine box in the hut. I'll go get it now."
"Thank you." Qiao Wanshu followed her into the living room without explaining why He Shengnian didn't come back with her.
It wasn't until Ruan Xiaoyu asked that she said calmly, "He received a message from the company midway and should be busy with work now."
Ruan Xiaoyu sighed after hearing this: "It seems that being a boss is not easy either."
At this time, Zhong Zining and Gu Jingchen heard the sound and came down. They were a little surprised when they saw Qiao Wanshu, especially Gu Jingchen. He immediately took the potion from Wen Ruoxi's hand and lowered his head to help Qiao Wanshu treat the wound. "How could you be so careless?"
He frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Qiao Wanshu didn't answer but asked, "Why are you the only ones here? Where are Xu Qinghu and the others?"
Gu Jingchen said: "She and Qi Song haven't come back yet."
After confirming that the person Xu Qinghu was dating was Qi Song, a gloomy look flashed across Qiao Wanshu's eyes. "Is that so? It seems their date must be very interesting."
Zhong Zining looked up at her, but didn't take the initiative to speak because she felt too guilty.
You Zhi, who was sitting on the single sofa, suddenly asked, "Is it Qi Song who is dating Hulu?"
He had been busy in the kitchen and did not hear the conversation between Ruan Xiaoyu and Zhong Zining. He then went upstairs to take a shower. Only now did he learn that Xu Qinghu's date was Qi Song, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"It's him," Qiao Wanshu looked at him with a restless look and deliberately said, "I wonder where Qi Song will take Hulu to play?"
After these words were spoken, everyone was silent for a few seconds.
"I don't know." Gu Jingchen threw the used cotton swab into the trash can and said with a smile: "With the camera here, they shouldn't stay too late."
But he had a bad feeling in his heart, and even some scenes flashed through his mind that he had never encountered but seemed to have really happened.
Xu Qinghu walked in from outside in a daze, with scratches on her hands and face. Qi Song followed her, constantly scolding her: "If you hadn't been running around, would there have been such a big mess? What, you still want to use me to raise your own status? It's just a pipe dream!"
He stared down at Xu Qinghu, his eyes filled with sinisterness and complacency, as if he really liked Xu Qinghu's miserable appearance.
In a trance, Gu Jingchen saw himself raising his foot to walk forward and ask them what had happened.
When he learned that Xu Qinghu encountered a thunderstorm while watching the stars and got lost in the mountains, his first reaction was not heartache, but to scold her together with Qi Song for running around.
"The mountains are so dangerous. If anything happens to you, will the show continue?" Gu Jingchen didn't know why he said such harsh words. It was as if standing on high and looking down at Xu Qinghu had become his normal state. "If you don't think about yourself, you should think about everyone else. Don't act so recklessly in the future."
When Xu Qinghu heard this, he did not explain. He just changed his shoes at the entrance and walked up to the second floor.
Gu Jingchen subconsciously called out to her, "Your injury hasn't been treated yet."
Xu Qinghu looked back at him. The smile in her eyes, which usually always loved to smile, was gone this time. There was only a coldness that made him feel uncomfortable, as if something had disappeared from her eyes, forever.
Gu Jingchen's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he didn't understand why he was so harsh on Xu Qinghu.
After staring at each other for a moment, Xu Qinghu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, lowered his eyes and asked: "Will you help me deal with it?"
Gu Jingchen's heartbeat slowed down, and he heard himself say, "Then change your clothes and come down. I'll get the medicine box."
Xu Qinghu nodded, turned and left his sight.
Soon she changed her clothes and came down, sitting opposite Gu Jingchen. She whispered, "The medical staff of the program team have taken care of most of the wounds. I just have a few scratches."
"I know," Gu Jingchen interrupted her, "I can see it."
Hearing this, Xu Qinghu fell silent again.
She lowered her head slightly, her expression quiet and well-behaved, which made people feel distressed.
"What are you thinking about?" A cold voice interrupted the scene in his mind. Gu Jingchen came to his senses and found that the Band-Aid he had put on Qiao Wanshu was applied crookedly.
"Nothing," he shook his head calmly and readjusted the position of the Band-Aid.
But I was wondering why I had nightmares so frequently after participating in the dating show. And why did I think of the scene of treating Xu Qinghu's wound when I was treating Qiao Wanshu's wound just now?
Things that had never happened seemed as if he had experienced them personally.
For example, after Xu Qinghu came to the cabin, the male guest he was most interested in was not He Shengnian, but him.
When Xu Qinghu was with him, he always unconsciously became intimate and flattering to him. He even became hostile to Qiao Wanshu because he paid too much attention to him, making him feel caught in a dilemma in the cabin.
Coupled with the image that just appeared in his mind, he had an extremely strange illusion, as if the person sitting in front of him should not be Qiao Wanshu, but Xu Qinghu.
Gu Jingchen frowned, thinking that he must have been too busy recently, which was why he had this obviously unreasonable hallucination.
He shook his head and put away the medicine box, thinking that the time to confirm the hallucination was right before his eyes. He just needed to wait for Xu Qinghu and Qi Song to come back and see if she was injured.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was illogical. Even if Xu Qinghu was injured, could it prove that those nightmares and hallucinations really happened?
"Where are they meeting?" You Zhi stood up from the sofa, his face showing an unprecedented coldness. "I'm going to go find them."
"What are you doing?" Zhong Zining glanced at him and said meaningfully, "It's already late, they must be on their way back."
She had already sent a message to He Shengnian. With him around, Xu Qinghu would definitely be brought back safely.
You Zhi lowered his eyelashes and slowly clenched his fingers. Without saying a word, he turned and walked upstairs.
Zhong Zining thought he was trying to calm himself down, but he quickly changed his clothes, came down, opened the door of the hut and ran out.
"Hey!" Zhong Zining stood up and watched him leave in the car, feeling extremely complicated.
If she had known that You Zhi had such initiative, she would not have looked for He Shengnian.
The other people in the room were also shocked. They didn't expect You Zhi to be so impulsive. Xu Qinghu and Qi Song were not in danger on their date, so why was he so irrational?
[Xiao You went to find the gourd, so touching.]
[So, when will the production team restore Hulu's live broadcast room? I've been waiting for so long that the flowers have wilted.]
[Will I not be able to see Xu Qinghu when I send a text message?]
Seeing Xiao You so nervous, I had a bad feeling. Could something really have happened to the gourd? No way!
[Program crew, if you don't release any news about Xu Qinghu, I'll call the police! I mean what I say!]
[Am I the only one who finds this strange? Du Yanting and He Shengnian aren't in the cabin, and You Zhi is leaving too. Aren't they all going to look for Xu Qinghu?]
[It's probably bad news. It's strange that the production team agreed to Qi Song's date location, and there's still no news about the two of them... If anything happens to Xu Qinghu, the production team should be prepared to use him to die as an apology!]
Countless voices of doubt filled the live broadcast room, demanding that the program team come out and give an explanation, otherwise they would help them call the police.
This incident even became a hot topic, with people speculating that Xu Qinghu was murdered by Qi Song.
Until the director finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and issued a notice saying that the signal was poor in the mountains and it was raining, so Xu Qinghu and Qi Song's live broadcast room was not turned on. He hoped everyone would not worry, as they were already on their way down the mountain. The heart-warming text messages would also be sent on time.
The audience's emotions were slightly calmed.
However, many people still asked them to release photos of Xu Qinghu and Qi Song dating to confirm their safety.
Seeing this, the director could only post the photos of the man's back that he had taken on his account.
As the time for sending the heart-warming text messages approached, the production team even forged text messages from Xu Qinghu and Qi Song to continue to appease the audience, letting them know that even though the signal was poor in the mountains, the two were still safe and sound.
Finally, in order to completely divert the audience's attention, the program team directly announced the content of everyone's text messages.
[Ruan Xiaoyu to Du Yanting]: "I really enjoyed today's date. Thank you for your advice. I'm really happy~"
[Zhong Zining to He Shengnian]: "Even after all this time, my affection for you has only grown."
[Wen Ruoxi to Gu Jingchen]: "Xiao You took me to the zoo. It was really fun there, but the person I want to message the most is you. I wish you a sweet dream. Good night."
[Qiao Wanshu to He Shengnian]: "I hope you can get to know me again, back to the day we first met."
[Xu Qinghu to He Shengnian]: "Guess what kind of little gift I'll bring you this time?"
The audience's attention was indeed diverted when they saw the text messages from the female guests.
[The female guests are so persistent. Once they set their goals, they never give up. It brings tears to my eyes.]
[I'm not sure what gift Xu Qinghu will bring to Mr. He. I'm guessing it'll be wild flowers or fruits found in the mountains, or maybe a small stone or something.]
[I also wish we could go back to the day we first met, so Qiao Qiao wouldn't have to be so humble.]
[The one I feel the most sorry for is Qiao Qiao. It was clearly her that Mr. He first fell in love with.]
[Zhong Zining and Wen Ruoxi also never received a response. The male guests this season are really heartless. I hope they can meet better people in the future.]
[Hulu, please go back to the hut. I can’t wait to watch your live stream!]
Not long after, the program team released the text messages of the male guests.
[Qi Song to Qiao Wanshu]: "Although there are not many stars in the mountains, they are full of the breath of nature. I really hope you can be by my side."
[Du Yanting to Qiao Wanshu]: "Making perfume is a very interesting thing. I wonder when you have time?"
[Gu Jingchen to Qiao Wanshu]: "Don't get hurt so easily in the future. Take good care of your body."
[You Zhi to Xu Qinghu]: "As long as you are safe."
[He Shengnian to Xu Qinghu]: “This is the first text message, but not the last.”
