Chapter 64: Complete Exit He was forcibly dragged out...
Hearing You Zhi say this, Xu Qinghu's eyes showed obvious surprise.
Whenever she thought You Zhi had surprised her enough, what he said would break her previous judgment.
He is undoubtedly a very good person.
Although he is younger than her, he has a gentle personality and knows how to consider things from other people's perspectives.
Such a person has not been contaminated by the world, and there are no mixed desires in his eyes. He is like a pool of clear spring water whose bottom can be seen.
It doesn't take much energy to get along with him, nor do you have to think about what to say to deal with him.
Just sitting quietly, I feel extremely relaxed.
"Thank you for telling me this." After a brief silence, Xu Qinghu looked into his eyes and said slowly, "But I still can't respond to you."
She had already rejected You Zhi once, and this was the second time he'd expressed his desire to continue contacting her. Xu Qinghu could use his pursuit to boost her popularity, but when she saw the determination in his eyes, she lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "But everyone has different expectations for relationships. Do you understand?"
Just like he said, what He Shengnian could give her, he couldn't give her now.
It was never a choice between them.
It was she who needed He Shengnian, and she needed him to choose her without hesitation no matter how many times.
Because he is the redeemer, and she needs to be redeemed.
This is the logic and causality between them.
Maybe at the beginning, because of her popularity, she deliberately gave You Zhi gourd seeds, just to make him notice her and attract the audience to become their CP fans.
But now, she doesn't need it anymore.
There was too little about You Zhi that she could use, and continued contact would only bring her trouble. Even if it was a small threat, she wanted to completely eliminate it.
At this time, there were no cameras or staff from the program crew in the ward. The two were very close, so close that You Zhi could clearly see the changes in Xu Qinghu's eyes. She was calm and rational, and was not shaken by him at all.
So close that he could hear his own heavier breathing.
He knew that Xu Qinghu didn't have much affection for him. Perhaps the initial contact was only because she couldn't find other guests to communicate with, so she chose him.
He also thought about giving up, but when he saw Xu Qinghu's face flushed and unconscious last night, his heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand.
The unprecedented anxiety and tension made his mind go blank. He just wanted Xu Qinghu to get better as soon as possible, and for this, he would rather be the one who was sick.
He even wanted to beat Qi Song up.
He rarely had arguments with others, but this time he felt unprecedented anger.
Only then did he realize that his affection for Xu Qinghu had never diminished, but instead became stronger and stronger as they spent more time together.
He desperately wanted to do something, at least stop pretending to be indifferent.
"I know," You Zhi said without avoiding her gaze. "I've thought about this, too. I understand that I can't protect you properly right now."
"But at least in this little room, let me be honest with myself," he whispered, "No need for a response, no need to feel burdened. Just treat this as a journey you can get off at any time. If you still don't fall in love with me in the end, we'll stay with each other until the end."
Xu Qinghu understood what he meant. He just wanted to fight for himself, not put pressure on her.
The speeches she had prepared suddenly became useless.
"Hurry up and eat," You Zhi poured her some more fish soup. "I already agreed with Mr. He last night that we should compete fairly. My feelings for you are my business, but if he wants to be with you, he must treat you better."
He blinked at Xu Qinghu with a faint smile in his eyes, and the stagnant atmosphere instantly became relaxed.
Xu Qinghu looked at him and said thank you again.
After dinner, Xu Qinghu changed out of his hospital gown and took the program crew’s car back to the cabin with You Zhi.
Her high fever has completely subsided and she only needs to rest for a few days to recover.
On the way, the staff of the program team negotiated with Xu Qinghu about what happened during her coma, and asked her to answer a few curious questions from the audience after arriving at the cabin.
Xu Qinghu and Qi Song’s live broadcast room had been closed for too long. In order to appease the audience, the program team released the news that they caught a cold and got sick because they were caught in the rain while dating yesterday.
The audience didn't believe it, so the director released an announcement that Xu Qinghu would return to the cabin in the afternoon.
[Xu Qinghu can come back, but what about Qi Song? Won’t he come back to livestream?]
There are many viewers with a keen sense of smell on the barrage.
[+1, although I'm more worried about Xu Qinghu's safety, but Qi Song is also a human being, right? How is he now?]
[Qi Song is a grown man, could he be sicker than Xu Qinghu? I don’t believe it!]
The continuous questioning prompted the program team to directly release the video of Xu Qinghu and Qi Song in the hospital. Xu Qinghu looked pale, but was generally fine.
Qi Song was lying on the bed, smiling and waving at the camera, explaining that his cold was quite serious this time and he might not be able to see everyone for a few days.
There were obvious abrasions on his face and neck, and the makeup artists of the program took a lot of effort to cover them up, and the video didn't show any major problems.
Only then did the audience feel truly at ease.
They said he shouldn't have chosen such a remote place, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten sick. They also warned him not to bully the female guests again next time, otherwise the program team would fire him.
Unfortunately, Qi Song didn't see any of these words. He was packed up and sent abroad by Qi's father that afternoon.
As for why he didn't return to the live broadcast of the program a few days later, there are many reasons that can be used, such as his cough did not get better, the cold caused other complications, or it could be personal reasons, he wanted to return to his original life, etc.
The audience may be curious about him at first, but this concern will soon disappear as Qi Song disappears from the Internet.
Xu Qinghu opened the car door and returned to the camera. Fans were very surprised to see this and were concerned about her health.
[Hulu! I finally saw the hulu!]
[Has the fever gone? Are you still feeling unwell?]
[Finally, you showed up. I was so worried that you'd be harmed by Qi Song. Don't go to such a dangerous place again.]
[+1, even though he's a male guest on the show, he still has to protect himself when he's out.]
[Hug Hulu, do you know how I got through the days without you?]
Of course, there were also people who asked Qi Song.
[Is Qi Song's health condition so poor? Why was he discharged later than Xu Qinghu?]
[Although Qi Song's choice of date location wasn't great this time, he's also sick. Can the comments please stop scolding him?]
[When will Qi Song resume live streaming? I want to watch him.]
Qiao Qiao must be very worried about Qi Song. She has been sitting in the garden all day, probably waiting for him to come back.
Most of these viewers are fans of Qi Song and his couple Qiao Wanshu. After seeing Xu Qinghu, although they wanted to be as yin and yang as before, this time they did not act rashly, perhaps because they felt guilty.
Xu Qinghu waved at the camera and said with a smile: "Sorry to have kept you waiting. My fever has subsided now, so I can continue the live broadcast."
"How was your date yesterday? It was pretty good, wasn't it?" Xu Qinghu answered some of the questions. "Although climbing the mountain was tiring, I still saw the stars from the top of the mountain. It was a very special date."
"Did you bring a gift for Mr. He?" Xu Qinghu tilted his head, his eyes suddenly curved. Instead of answering, he asked, "If I didn't, would everyone be disappointed?"
The comments all said no.
"Do rocks from the mountain count?" Xu Qinghu sighed. "I was so tired from climbing the mountain last night that I didn't have time to look for a nice gift. I just picked up a small rock from the mountain. I hope the wise and powerful President He won't mind."
She blinked and said, "You have to keep it a secret for me."
Usually, everyone's impression of Xu Qinghu comes from the footage shown by the program team. It is rare to see her answer questions at such a close distance. Looking at Xu Qinghu's bright and smiling appearance, I suddenly feel that she is much more real.
[u1s1, beautiful sister looks so pretty when she smiles.]
[I feel Xu Qinghu is very down-to-earth and has an interesting personality. I'm thinking of becoming his fan.]
[What are you waiting for? Get this little gourd now! Ever since I became a fan of it, I've had no back or leg pain and everything I eat is delicious!]
[Of course I won't tell on you, I just hope you and Mr. He are locked in a relationship.]
After answering a lot of questions, Xu Qinghu turned around and pushed open the garden door.
Qiao Wanshu was sitting on the swing at that moment. When he saw Xu Qinghu, his pupils contracted violently for a moment. He immediately stood up and asked calmly, "Are you back? Are you feeling better?"
As female guests, even if she and Xu Qinghu don't get along, they have to be harmonious when facing the camera.
"Much better." Xu Qinghu smiled at her, his eyes calm and indifferent, as if he had no doubt about Qi Song's motives.
Qiao Wanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked behind her. When she didn't see Qi Song, the corners of her mouth tightened.
Since Xu Qinghu and Qi Song lost contact last night, she contacted her brother and asked him if he could find out their current situation.
Qiao Xicheng was silent for a moment after hearing this and told her not to worry about it and to have a good rest first.
"Brother," Qiao Wanshu slowly held the phone, "Qi Song, did you ask him to participate in the show?"
She didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she asked this question. She felt complicated and depressed. "Did he choose that place because of me..."
She thought of Qi Song saying several times that he was willing to do anything for her. She didn't take it to heart at first, but when he mentioned it again later, she couldn't help but think of her family.
The company has been making losses for years. As a member of the family, she has lived a life of luxury since childhood and enjoyed wealth and glory that ordinary people can't imagine.
Her parents and brother were very good to her. She didn't want to wait for the company to go bankrupt, nor did she want to live an ordinary life, so when her brother proposed that she get married, she agreed almost without hesitation.
Since she enjoys the support from her family, she should give back to them to the best of her ability.
Even if she has to trade herself, she will try to get a high price.
However, the families that had dealings with the Qiao family were well aware of their situation and simply regarded Qiao Wanshu as a vampire. No one was willing to get involved in this mess.
Qiao's father and Qiao Xicheng found many people who were willing to help the Qiao family save the situation. They were either vulgar nouveau riche or playboys whose bodies were hollowed out by alcohol and sex. If they wanted them to invest, Qiao Wanshu had to take the initiative to please them and make them happy before they would consider saving the Qiao family.
Even if such people can come up with money, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
The Qiao family was not fools and would not send their innocent daughter to be ruined, so they began to find another way.
At this time, someone reminded the Qiao family that at worst they could let Qiao Wanshu enter the entertainment industry and use public opinion to promote her identity as a rich girl, which would definitely attract many fans.
Dating variety shows are one of the shortcuts to make female guests become popular in a short period of time.
After participating in the program, not only can you find a wealthy son-in-law with the help of your created personality, but you also have the opportunity to bring traffic to the company, and maybe even turn the tide and reverse the crisis.
After a night of discussion, the Qiao family finalized Qiao Wanshu's participation in the dating variety show.
Although they were unsure whether this dating show could bring the expected benefits, in order to be on the safe side, the Qiao family still prepared a trump card for Qiao Wanshu.
This trump card is Qi Song.
When the Qiao family was on the decline, Qiao Xicheng received an investment. After tracing back to the source, they found that it was from the company's previous supplier, who had made a lot of money through successful investments over the years.
Qiao Xicheng was overjoyed and took the initiative to visit and ask the other party if he planned to continue investing.
Only then did he realize that the person who sent the money was the other party's son. This young man named Qi Song had always had a crush on his sister.
But he was just an illegitimate child and could bring very little help to the Qiao family.
That's why he mentioned Qiao Wanshu's participation in the dating variety show in front of Qi Song, hinting that Qi Song should protect Qiao Wanshu.
Things went much more smoothly than he had imagined. Qi Song was not only very obedient, but also cared deeply about his sister. He took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation...
"How could that be?" Qiao Xicheng chuckled, but of course he didn't admit it. Qiao Wanshu was still kind, which was her strength and also a trait that attracted other men. He didn't want her to become a truly cold-blooded animal. "Where he goes on a date is his own decision. It has nothing to do with us."
"Really?" Qiao Wanshu pursed his lips, his tone filled with disbelief.
"Qiao Qiao, sometimes you don't need to have too many questions," Qiao Xicheng did not answer the question directly, "just do what you should do and don't let yourself think too much."
"What about Xu Qinghu?" Qiao Wanshu lowered his eyelashes. "Will she really leave?"
"Of course," Qiao Xicheng comforted him, "Believe me, brother, she won't cause you any trouble."
Hearing this, Qiao Wanshu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand, thank you, brother."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wanshu looked at herself in the mirror. She knew that Qiao Xicheng was lying to her.
She had met Qi Song a long time ago, and he had given her a crystal necklace at her birthday party a few years ago.
She just remembered it suddenly.
But she had no choice.
Qiao Wanshu stood there in a daze. She had too few choices and she had no way out.
So even if she knew, she would not let Qi Song stop.
"I'm sorry," she raised her hands to cover her face, unwilling to look into her own cold eyes, and said in an inaudible voice: "We are destined to be rivals..."
But the next day, she received the news that Xu Qinghu just had a cold and fever and would soon participate in the recording again.
Nothing happened to her.
Watching Xu Qinghu's back as he walked towards the cabin, Qiao Wanshu's heart sank completely. How could Xu Qinghu be unharmed after going on a date in such a dangerous place?
What happened on the mountain? Why didn't Qi Song come back?
She tried to send a message to Qi Song, but there was no response from the other party.
Little did she know that all of Qi Song's contact tools had been taken away, and she was forcibly sent abroad by Qi's father. She would not be able to contact him again until the end of the program recording.
Xu Qinghu had just walked to the door of the cottage, but before he could push it open, the door was opened from the inside.
A tall man in black home clothes stood in the doorway and looked down at her. "Are you back?"
Xu Qinghu nodded and gave him a bright smile, "You're back."
