Chapter 74 Chapter 74 She always bullies me when I choose her on a date...
Not long after, Wu Xuan's car also stopped at the door.
He and Ruan Xiaoyu got out of the car one after another. When they were changing their shoes at the entrance, they heard Xu Qinghu telling He Shengnian what had happened today. Her voice was soft and pleasant, different from her indifference when facing him. She seemed to be particularly dependent on He Shengnian.
Wu Xuan's lips curled up, and a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
"Why didn't I see Fubao today?" Ruan Xiaoyu looked around and couldn't help asking, "Did you send it home?"
"Well," Wu Xuan said calmly, "I'll take it back in a few days."
Ruan Xiaoyu was a little disappointed. "I wanted to play with it for a while."
"Next time." Wu Xuan went straight upstairs with no intention of going to the living room.
Looking at his back without turning back, Ruan Xiaoyu vaguely felt that he was in a bad mood, but she didn't know why.
In the living room, Xu Qinghu yawned softly and said to He Shengnian, "I'm feeling sleepy. Let's go upstairs and rest."
Looking at her eyes, which had become moist due to sleepiness, He Sheng said in a young voice, "Let's go. I'll go up with you."
Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled, "Okay, walk me to the door of my room."
The two were about to go upstairs when the director suddenly appeared and asked the staff to call everyone else down because he had something to announce.
Thinking that tomorrow is Saturday, everyone understood that it was probably related to a date.
After everyone arrived, the director smiled and said, "Tomorrow will be the fifth date since the show started. This time, we won't be drawing lots to determine your groups. Instead, we encourage everyone to choose their own date location."
At this point, the staff brought out a writing board and placed it in the middle of the living room. The director continued, "We've prepared five date spots for everyone. Any guests interested in a particular spot can write their name in the corresponding space. It's not limited to two people; three or four people are also welcome."
"Of course, there are also rules for this date. Each person can only choose one date location, and no more than four guests can be at the same location. Once a guest is left alone, they will be forced to join someone else's date."
When these words were spoken, not only the guests present were stunned, but the audience was also a little nervous.
[Won't this lead to a lot of chaos? The program planner is truly talented!]
If most people go to the same meeting place, wouldn't it become a group date?
[I can already guess who will be dating whom. Xu Qinghu and He Shengnian are definitely the ones to go out with. It just depends on who will join them.]
[I guess Qiao Wanshu will choose He Shengnian. After watching for so long, she is still most interested in He.]
[He can guess the choices of most of the guests in the room and is only interested in the junior. Since he's already participating in a dating show, it means he also wants to meet other people. I wonder who he wants to get to know the most?]
[I thought he would like Qiao Wanshu before, but Qiao Wanshu, as his senior, had no privileges at all, so I suddenly became disenchanted with him.]
[It's not that difficult, it must be Xu Qinghu. Don't ask me how I know.]
[My intuition tells me it's also a gourd. Confirming this guess is easy. Just look at who he follows and write his name.]
The comments kept rolling, and the guests came to their senses and looked at the date locations on the writing board, including indoor skiing, diving, boat trips on the lake, small town check-ins, and picnics in the suburbs.
"Diving?" Ruan Xiaoyu looked around and said, "I'd really like to try this project."
Although she said this, she did not immediately write her name under the meeting place.
"Picnics and checking in at the town should both be fun," Wen Ruoxi said softly, "both are great ways to relax."
She glanced at Gu Jingchen not far away, wanting to see where he would choose, but Gu Jingchen's eyes were always on Qiao Wanshu. He would only choose a date place where she was.
Wen Ruoxi lowered her eyelashes, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of her mouth.
But she did not let herself be immersed in such negative emotions. She raised her hand, picked up the pen, and wrote her name directly under the town check-in.
Although she had feelings for Gu Jingchen, she would feel tired if she didn't get a response for a long time.
"Everyone must confirm their meeting place by 8:00 AM tomorrow at the latest," the director reminded them, "otherwise, you will be giving up this meeting."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly felt less nervous. After all, there was still a long time to consider.
"Can you change your mind after you make your choice?" Zhong Zining asked.
The director smiled and said, "As long as it's before 8 a.m., you can change the date location."
He Shengnian looked at Xu Qinghu's fair face and asked in a low voice: "Is there any place you want to go?"
Xu Qinghu seemed to be in a dilemma as well. "I really want to go."
"Choose one first," He Shengnian said, "and for the rest, we'll go separately later."
Xu Qinghu's gaze stopped at the picnic. She didn't want to go to a complicated date place. A picnic was the best choice for her.
Just as she was about to step forward to write her name, she suddenly noticed a distinct gaze.
She raised her head and met Wu Xuan's gaze.
Xu Qinghu moved his fingers slightly and wrote his name under the diving board.
"I've finished writing it," she turned to He Shengnian and said, "Let's go diving this time."
"Yeah." He Shengnian took the pen from her hand and wrote his own name next to hers.
Seeing that the two had made their choice, the others who had been slow to act also picked up their pens.
You Zhi wrote his name under Xu Qinghu without hesitation.
Qiao Wanshu seemed to want to write, but she hesitated just as she was about to put pen to paper. "I'd better write it tomorrow morning."
If she also chooses to dive, the place will be full.
Her keen sixth sense made her feel that Xu Qinghu didn't really want to go diving, and she and He Shengnian might change their minds in the end.
"In that case, I'll make a decision tomorrow." Du Yanting raised the corners of his mouth, as if he only cared about Qiao Wanshu's choice.
Gu Jingchen fell silent upon hearing this, thinking that he should get up early tomorrow to see where Qiao Wanshu wanted to go.
Zhong Zining, on the other hand, smiled and said to Wu Xuan, "Junior, where do you want to go on a date? How about I join you on the team?"
Wu Xuan: “I haven’t decided yet.”
"Then think about it first. When you have made up your mind, tell me."
Wu Xuan didn't respond, but just looked at the diving option with a deep look in his eyes.
Then everyone went upstairs with different thoughts, all thinking about which date place to go to tomorrow.
"Hulu, I envy you so much," Ruan Xiaoyu said in a faint voice while lying on the bed, "You and Mr. He have such a good understanding, you can go wherever you want, but I have a lot of concerns."
"Don't you want to go diving too?"
"I want to see where my junior is going," Ruan Xiaoyu turned over and looked at her and said, "You can go diving anytime, but you can't go on a date with a male guest you like."
Xu Qinghu was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, "Then you should wait for him to choose first."
"I think so too," Ruan Xiaoyu's eyes curved, "It would be great if he also chose diving. Then we could go on a date together. Unfortunately, the diving group is almost full."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghu thought to himself that Wu Xuan could choose any date location, the only one he wouldn't choose was diving.
He couldn't get into the water.
Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Qinghu suddenly woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night.
She lifted the blanket and looked at the moonlight shining through the gaps in the curtains, feeling a little uneasy.
She put on her shoes and tiptoed downstairs, turned on the light in the living room, and saw Wu Xuan's name written clearly below the line on the writing board.
Xu Qinghu's eyes changed slightly, thinking he was having an illusion. When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed Wu Xuan's handwriting.
Because she chose diving, he actually chose diving as well.
"Is it strange?" Footsteps were heard at the stairs. A man in pajamas slowly walked down the stairs. He looked at her from behind and said, "You know I would make the same choice as you."
Xu Qinghu turned around and looked at his cold face. He no longer had the composure he showed in front of the camera, and his tone became particularly harsh. "Diving? Do you think you are still..."
She turned her head away mid-sentence and said, "If you want to be angry with me, don't joke with your own body. I don't have time to take risks with you."
"My body, why are you so nervous?" Wu Xuan looked at her sarcastically and sneered: "Aren't you eager to break up with me and wish I would never bother you again? Don't you hate me? If I die, you won't have this trouble. You can choose someone else without any burden, and you will be free!"
The corners of his eyes were red, and he spoke these words in an almost accusatory and angry tone.
"Are you crazy?" Xu Qinghu turned around and stared at him, lowering his voice and asking, "Are you mentally ill? I told you, I don't like you anymore. I don't like you now, and I won't like you in the future. Don't you understand? Don't you understand?"
She stood under the light in the living room, looking cold and heartless, not at all moved by him because he followed her onto the show.
"If you still have any shame, don't bother me."
Wu Xuan stared at her intently, as if he wanted to see through her eyes into her soul. "You never said such words to me before. You were always so gentle to me. Are you still Xu Qinghu?"
Xu Qinghu: "Didn't you say that? I've changed my mind."
"I don't believe you've changed your mind. Did someone tell you something?" Wu Xuan walked up to her, looked at her face, and said with red eyes: "Was it grandpa? Was it uncle? What they said doesn't count. I'm not afraid of death at all. I..."
"That's enough." Xu Qinghu interrupted him coldly, expressionless, "My breaking up with you has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just because I don't like you anymore. You know, people are always fickle. I liked you yesterday, but I may like someone else tomorrow. Don't look for me anymore."
After saying that, she took the eraser, erased Wu Xuan's name from under "Diving", and wrote it under "Picnic".
As soon as she finished writing, Wu Xuan quickly erased it and stared at her closely: "If you don't like me, why do you care about my body?"
"Do I have to watch you embarrass yourself while I'm diving?" Xu Qinghu sneered, "Do you think it's fun to ruin my date with other people?"
"That's embarrassing." Wu Xuan wrote his name under the diving again and said softly: "It's better than always guessing what you are thinking."
He wrote very hard, as if he was using up all the strength in his body.
"You only make your own decisions anyway, and you don't care what I think anyway."
Xu Qinghu lowered her eyelashes and said, "You don't care about yourself, but you still want me to care about you?" After saying that, she turned and left.
Wu Xuan stood there, looking at the two names, one above and one below, and was silent for a long time before muttering to himself: "You are always like this, you always bully me."
After saying this, he still did not change his date option and turned to go upstairs.
When he reached the stairs, Xu Qinghu was waiting for him there.
"From now on, don't bother me on the show," she looked into his narrow, beautiful eyes and warned him in a low voice: "And don't reveal our past. Do you hear me?"
Wu Xuan looked at her without saying anything. Xu Qinghu asked again: "Did you hear that?"
Wu Xuan: "If I obey you, can we get back together? Can you still love me like before?"
Xu Qinghu took a deep breath and said, "I really owe you." After that, she went back to the room without looking back.
Wu Xuan looked at her back and thought that Xu Qinghu would not change her mind easily. It seemed that only in this way could he calm the emotions that were constantly churning in his heart.
Xu Qinghu stood behind the door for a moment, listening to Ruan Xiaoyu's steady breathing, then went back downstairs again, looking at the name on the clipboard. She stood there for a long time, until the sky outside gradually brightened. Then she erased her name bit by bit and wrote it again under the picnic.
Then she threw the pen aside and walked quickly upstairs.
She never thought that Wu Xuan would come to see her, nor did she think that he was still angry with her. After all, when they were in love, they were very young, and he listened to her very much and almost obeyed her in everything.
Later, when they broke up, although they had a big fight, they broke up completely. I didn't expect that when they met again, it would be such a scene.
This is not what Xu Qinghu cares about most. What she cares about is that Wu Xuan’s name is not in the novel, and he is not even a passerby.
Now that he has appeared in a dating show, I wonder if he will be affected by the plot or change the direction of the plot.
Even though they had broken up, she didn't want Wu Xuan to be implicated because of her.
Of course, if the situation becomes beyond her control, Wu Xuan might become her trump card.
While it was still early, Xu Qinghu managed to take a nap.
When she woke up, Ruan Xiaoyu was no longer in the room.
When she finished washing up and went downstairs, it was already past eight o'clock.
In the living room, many people gathered around the writing board, wondering why Xu Qinghu's name appeared under the word "Picnic" again.
After seeing her, they all asked: "Hulu, why did you change your mind?"
Xu Qinghu smiled and said, "I've been a little tired from work lately. After thinking about it, I decided that a simple date location would be a good choice."
"When was it changed?" He Shengnian came out of the kitchen and looked at her quietly.
Xu Qinghu remained calm and said, "I came down to drink water in the middle of the night, and suddenly I didn't want to go diving anymore."
He Shengnian nodded and did not ask Xu Qinghu why he didn't tell him in advance.
He got up very early every morning, and when he came down to make breakfast, he happened to see the changes in Xu Qinghu and wrote his name under the picnic.
But this time his name was no longer alongside Xu Qinghu's, but was written below Xu Qinghu's.
Next to Xu Qinghu's name was Wu Xuan's name.
He Shengnian was not surprised that Wu Xuan chose this date place. After all, it was the most suitable date place for him.
"Luckily I got up early," Ruan Xiaoyu patted her chest and said, "otherwise there wouldn't be enough space for my name to be written in the box."
