Chapter 68: Senior and Junior Students, they are in the same school...
The kitten looked young and ferocious, but it didn't really hurt Xu Qinghu. It just pulled her trouser legs and bit them, as if it was angry.
"Hello," the man standing in the living room said with a pleasant voice, "Did you just get off work?"
He was very tall, with a kitten's leash in his slender hands, and he had superior features and a very handsome appearance.
The most attractive thing is his eyebrows and eyes, which seem to have some exotic blood. His eyes are particularly deep, not the usual dark brown, but a pale blue like the stars in the sunset. They are like an unfathomable abyss, surrounded by a thin mist, which reminds people of the bewitching sirens in Western legends.
He lowered his eyes to look at Xu Qinghu, which was like the clear and cold snow on the mountains, making people feel far away and cold.
[So handsome! Holy shit, where did the production team find this male guest? He's so much better than Qi Song!]
[This guy looks like he came out of a comic book. He even looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere.]
[+1, could it be an internet celebrity? But I've never seen anyone this good-looking. I can't remember it for the life of me.]
[I don't care, this guy will be my husband from now on. I love his looks so much, it makes my face blush and my heart beat fast just looking at him.]
[It's a bit like the young knight in martial arts novels, the type who wields two swords and kills without blinking an eye.]
[The production team is so confused. Why didn't they debut this beauty? If they did, she would definitely be very popular!]
[The man is holding a cat in his hand, the image is so vivid.]
[Although, he seems a bit hard to approach. Does this kind of guy really need a partner?]
"Yeah." Xu Qinghulu quickly came to her senses and bent down to touch the orange cat's head. Unexpectedly, when the cat saw her approaching, it turned its head and ran towards its owner, as if it didn't want to pay any attention to her.
"Sorry, Lai Fu is a bit stingy," the man said softly, "Maybe you smelled of other animals on your way back, and it didn't like it."
Xu Qinghu lowered her eyelashes. She clearly remembered that she had not encountered any stray animals today, and Sister Cao had not brought her dog to the office.
"It's okay." Xu Qinghu put the bag on the cabinet. "It's normal for kittens to have a bit of a temper."
Hearing this, the man leaned over and rubbed the cat's head. Seeing it squinting its eyes in enjoyment, he raised his hand and pinched its ear, warning: "Don't lose your temper anymore, okay?"
The kitten meowed a few times, but its eyes were stealing glances at Xu Qinghu, as if it wanted to pester her.
"Is anyone back?" Ruan Xiaoyu ran over after hearing the noise. Her eyes lit up immediately when she saw Xu Qinghu. "Didn't President He send you back today?"
"He's working overtime." Xu Qinghu lowered his head and changed his shoes at the entrance.
"This is the new male guest." Ruan Xiaoyu glanced at the man, somewhat afraid to look him in the eye, and whispered, "He was supposed to have a private date with all of our female guests today, but something unexpected happened on the way here, so the director asked him to come directly."
Xu Qinghu paused and asked immediately: "What happened?"
"I don't know either," Ruan Xiaoyu stole a glance at the handsome man who was still coaxing the cat. As a face lover, she couldn't take her eyes off him. "We just met and haven't had time to ask him yet."
"It's just a minor friction," the man stood up and said calmly, "It's not a big deal."
Xu Qinghu's gaze paused on him for a moment and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"Not bad." He didn't elaborate, but changed the subject: "I just arrived at the cabin and haven't introduced myself yet."
His voice was as clear as ice, yet incredibly pleasant. "My name is Wu Xuan, you can also call me Arlanrot."
Ruan Xiaoyu blinked. She didn't expect that he was not only good-looking, but also had such a special name.
"Hello," she said nervously, "My name is Ruan Xiaoyu, Ruan next to the ear, Yu as in rain."
Wu Xuan nodded and his eyes fell on Xu Qinghulu.
"Xu Qinghu, nicknamed Hulu."
Wu Xuan nodded, his expression still cold, as if his purpose in coming to the cabin was not to be one of them.
"Um, have you been to your room?" Ruan Xiaoyu liked talking to good-looking people. "You should be sharing a room with Xiaoyou, who is also a guest on the show."
"I know," Wu Xuan said, "I don't live with him. I live alone in a room near the stairs."
Ruan Xiaoyu blinked his eyes. He didn't expect that he actually had privileges. Among the male and female guests, only Qiao Wanshu and Du Yanting lived alone. Now that Qi Song had withdrawn, according to the regulations of the program team, Wu Xuan should have been You Zhi's roommate, but he was able to apply for the opportunity to live alone.
Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Wu Xuan still had no intention of explaining. He picked up the orange cat and sat on the sofa, playing with it patiently. It seemed that only when facing small animals would there be some tenderness in his eyes.
"So handsome." Ruan Xiaoyu clenched her fists and said to Xu Qinghu in a low voice, "I didn't expect there would be such a handsome guy in the world. He's even more handsome than the hottest stars. I'm crazy about him."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
She ignored Ruan Xiaoyu, picked up the bag on the cabinet and was about to go upstairs, but unexpectedly she heard the sound of an engine outside the door.
Qiao Wanshu, Zhong Zining and Gu Jingchen came in from outside.
Today, Gu Jingchen and Zhong Zining are cooking. As Zhong Zining's best friend, Qiao Wanshu offers to help. The three of them not only go shopping together in the supermarket, but also plan to cook dinner together.
The moment he opened the door, Gu Jingchen subconsciously looked at Xu Qinghu and asked, "Did you just get off work?"
Xu Qinghu nodded. Just as Gu Jingchen was about to speak again, Ruan Xiaoyu immediately reminded him, "There's a new male guest in the room."
"What?" The three of them had their pupils shrink slightly, and they were all a little surprised.
Ruan Xiaoyu motioned for them to look inside and repeated what she had explained to Xu Qinghu, "He also brought a super cute cat. It's very handsome."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them immediately walked inside.
When they saw Wu Xuan sitting on the single sofa, they were stunned. They didn't expect that the program team would find such a handsome male guest.
"Hello," Wu Xuan raised his head upon hearing the voice, revealing his handsome face. "I'm a new guest. I'll be staying in the cabin from today. I hope I won't disturb you."
"No, no," Zhong Zining reached out and tugged at her arm. After confirming that she wasn't dreaming, she immediately laughed, "The cabin is just missing a man. We can't wait to welcome him!"
Both she and Ruan Xiaoyu are obsessed with looks, but Ruan Xiaoyu likes good-looking appearance, while she prefers the special temperament in men.
It was obvious that this man was not an ordinary person, and she was quite interested in him.
Qiao Wanshu frowned, feeling that Wu Xuan looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
The one who reacted the most was not the female guest, but the male guest Gu Jingchen. The moment he saw Wu Xuan, it was as if a needle had been pierced in his head, causing severe pain, as if something was about to drill out of his brain.
He stumbled back a step, faintly hearing the sound of rain. It was as if he were on a gloomy, rainy night. Surrounded by unfamiliar buildings, the streets were deserted. But around the corner came the faint sound of footsteps. Amidst his heavy breathing, a dark figure holding an umbrella appeared in his sight...
The shopping bag in his hand fell to the ground. Gu Jingchen groaned and subconsciously covered his head.
"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Wanshu turned around and saw him trembling all over. She quickly held his arm and asked, "Do you have a headache?"
Just as Gu Jingchen was about to answer, the severe pain in his head suddenly disappeared. He came to his senses and found a layer of cold sweat on his back and face, and his face turned unnaturally pale.
"I'm fine," he shook his head. "I probably haven't had enough rest recently, so I feel a little unwell."
Qiao Wanshu hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's let the doctor take a look."
"No need," Gu Jingchen smiled soothingly, "I'll just rest on the sofa for a while."
As early as when he discovered the hallucinations, he sought a more authoritative doctor for diagnosis, but no problems were found. The doctor thought that he was too nervous after participating in the dating variety show, so he had inexplicable hallucinations. He asked him to put down his work appropriately and give himself some time to relax, and the situation should improve.
Gu Jingchen is currently in the rising phase of his career. While the dating variety show has helped his work, he is also competing for a higher position. How can he possibly take a break?
I can only wait until the dating show ends and then give myself a few days off.
But as the hallucinations became more and more severe, Gu Jingchen consulted other doctors, but still could not find any problems.
This made him think that maybe he was really under too much pressure.
The medical staff of the program team are definitely not as good as the experts he found. It would not be good for him if they knew that he had mental problems.
"Then come sit on the sofa," Qiao Wanshu helped him over, his eyes unconsciously falling on Wu Xuan, "It's a good opportunity to chat with the new guest and introduce the situation in the cabin."
Gu Jingchen nodded.
His eyes fell on Wu Xuan. Seeing that he had a youthful face and a youthful look between his eyebrows, he knew that he should be several years younger than himself. He introduced himself in a gentle voice, "You should have seen the previous live broadcast. I am 28 years old and a brand designer."
Wu Xuan's eyes deepened slightly when he heard this, and he also introduced himself.
When Qiao Wanshu heard his name, a figure vaguely emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Are you a student of Yanning University?"
Wu Xuan replied: "I am a junior student."
After hearing this, everyone knew that he was only in his early twenties and his noble temperament was probably related to his family upbringing.
Qiao Wanshu took a deep breath secretly. The reason she knew Wu Xuan was that when he first entered university, he became a celebrity in the forum because of his outstanding appearance. Many people posted messages to confess their love to him every day, and it was hard not to pay attention to him.
But Wu Xuan did not live on campus. Except for classes, he was never seen at other times. In addition, every time he was picked up at the school gate, he was driven in an expensive luxury car. Everyone guessed that he came from a wealthy family and became even more curious about him.
But because he was too low-key, and the school was wary of such fanatical posts and often deleted them from the background, his popularity gradually subsided.
Who knew he would actually participate in a dating show?
Even someone as calm as Qiao Wanshu thought this was ridiculous, but considering that He Shengnian was even on a dating show, Wu Xuan's appearance wasn't so surprising. "What a coincidence," Qiao Wanshu said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be my junior."
Wu Xuan didn't respond and his attitude towards her was equally cold.
Qiao Wanshu thought about how popular he was at school and didn't feel disappointed. She just asked, "I remember you were on the school idol list before. You should have no shortage of suitors. Why did you come to participate in the show?"
This was also a question that others were curious about, and they all looked at Wu Xuan who was sitting on the single sofa.
Even in the middle of summer, he still wore long sleeves and long pants. His neck, which was exposed outside his clothes, was slender and cold white, making him look mysterious and aloof.
"Of course I want to find a partner," he said, his tone changing when answering this question. "It would be great if I could meet someone who meets my requirements."
Ruan Xiaoyu blinked, not expecting the handsome guy to really want to find a partner. She immediately raised her hand and said, "What do you think of me? I have some feelings for you."
Everyone: "..."
"I can consider it," Zhong Zining said, "Although I'm a few years older than you, I'm caring and I've opened two very successful restaurants. I can keep you fair and tender."
Ruan Xiaoyu glared at Zhong Zining when she heard this, thinking that she was insulting her idol, "Wu Xuan is definitely not such a superficial person."
Zhong Zining: "I'm just proving my financial strength."
Ruan Xiaoyu: “…”
"Stop arguing," Qiao Wanshu didn't want to listen to their nonsense in front of his junior. "He just came to the cabin and needs time to get to know everyone."
As she spoke, she pulled Zhong Zining and said, "Teacher Gu is not feeling well. Let's go to the kitchen to cook first."
Although she was also curious about Wu Xuan, she knew that he was not easy to approach and being too enthusiastic would only backfire.
Zhong Zining had no choice but to follow him into the kitchen, sighing, "The production team is really something. If they had asked my junior to come earlier, I wouldn't have had so much resentment before."
Qiao Wanshu: “…”
[It turned out to be him!]
Finally, an audience member recognized Wu Xuan.
[I saw his photo, which was trending at the time, but it was quickly taken down and deleted from the entire internet.]
[I've seen it too, but the quality of the photo is extremely blurry, so it must have been taken secretly.]
[He, Xu Qinghu, and Qiao Wanshu are all schoolmates. It's reasonable to suspect that he wants to pursue a senior student, so he took the opportunity to participate in the dating variety show.]
[Even if I want to pursue her, I'd go after Qiao Wanshu. They both have aloof personalities, so they definitely have a lot in common.]
[Here we go again, Qiao Wanshu is the only male guest option on this show, right?]
[Although, Xu Qinghu and He Shengnian are already locked in, the new guest probably won't have much interaction with her. His first choice is definitely Qiao Qiao.]
[Seniors and juniors, I'm really looking forward to it.]
Doesn't anyone find the kitten's reaction amusing? Among all the people, it ignored everyone else but bared its teeth and claws at Xu Qinghu. It looked like it really disliked Xu Qinghu, but its eyes kept stealing glances at her.
[+1, the kitten's amber eyes are so beautiful. It seems very smart. It doesn't really hate Xu Qinghu. I wonder what it's angry about? Could it be that Xu Qinghu really has the aura of some other small animal?]
