Chapter 90 Chapter 90 He needs a different punishment...
The moment Xu Qinghu read out the question, everyone looked over. They didn't expect the program crew to be so good at making trouble.
What kind of question is this?
The audience in the live broadcast room went wild.
[The production team deliberately set a trap for the guest. No matter how Xu Qinghu responded, it was inappropriate. Are they looking for trouble?]
[By the way, has Xu Qinghu ever been in love? Judging from her experience, it was probably her first love.]
[If you have never been in a relationship, this question is easy to answer.]
[+1, the production team wanted to stir things up, but Xu Qinghu picked the question, and it wasn't difficult for her at all, hahaha.]
Just when the audience thought Xu Qinghu would definitely say "no", Xu Qinghu did not answer immediately.
She lowered her eyelashes slightly, hiding all the emotions in her eyes.
Seeing this, He Shengnian frowned immediately.
[What the hell, has Xu Qinghu ever been in a relationship before?]
[Looking at this situation, she must have an ex-boyfriend.]
[Then she must have liked the other person before, otherwise why would she agree to be in a relationship?]
[I thought she was my first love. Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to upset Mr. He? I instantly dislike her.]
[+1, I feel like she's totally unworthy of Mr. He.]
[Upstairs, I'm talking about a relationship that's annoying you. You're so concerned about He Shengnian. He Shengnian is your dad!]
[How hilarious! What's wrong with Xu Qinghu having an ex? She's so talented, she could have ten boyfriends at once. It's none of your business!]
"Is that difficult to answer?" A clear, pleasant voice echoed through the silence. "Yes, yes. No, no. This shouldn't be a difficult question for you."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wu Xuan gently turning the playing cards in his hand, but his eyes were looking at Xu Qinghu. His angular features looked particularly handsome in the dim light, and his deep eyes were covered with a layer of dark mist, making him look mysterious and deserted.
Xu Qinghu's gaze fell on him. Wu Xuan looked distracted, but his fingers holding the playing cards exerted a little force, and his fingertips were barely noticeable pale.
The moment their eyes met, Xu Qinghu's face remained expressionless, but Wu Xuan's lips curled up, "Senior, I'm curious about how you would answer."
He had no intention of making their relationship clear in front of everyone, but he cared about this issue more than Xu Qinghu.
Had she ever loved him completely?
When they were together, he also asked similar questions, but Xu Qinghu always refuted him, thinking that he was too boring and had nothing to think about except whether he loved her or not.
Wu Xuan thought, if he didn't ask, how could he know what she was thinking? After all, she even argued with him for Lai Fu's name.
“…”
He Shengnian noticed his tone and his eyes darkened.
"Junior, how come you're even more gossipy than me?" Zhong Zining couldn't help but say, "Even if I loved him, he's already my ex. What's there to mind?"
But Wu Xuan stared at Xu Qinghu, as if this question was very important to him.
He Shengnian also looked at Xu Qinghu, wondering how she would answer. He didn't mind her having an ex-boyfriend; what he cared about was whether her ex-boyfriend had a past.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Qinghu retracted his gaze and quickly replied, "No."
"I didn't love him unconditionally."
The moment he heard these words, Wu Xuan's expression instantly darkened. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Qinghu, a dangerous cold light flashing in his eyes, as if he didn't expect her to answer like this.
He was so angry that he laughed instead and whispered: "Is that so? It turns out you never..."
Halfway through his speech, the corners of his mouth pursed up, and his whole person seemed to become much gloomier in an instant.
Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes, returned to his seat beside He Shengnian, and explained with a smile: "It should be difficult to have unconditional love nowadays, but I hope that I can love another person unconditionally in the future."
The meaning of her words was too obvious. Her ex-boyfriend could not make her give her all. If that person was He Shengnian, she should be able to give everything for him.
He Shengnian's frown relaxed and he looked at Xu Qinghu deeply, "There will be a chance."
The two were so affectionate that they were just one step away from holding hands on the night of confession.
Ruan Xiaoyu and Wen Ruoxi were happy for them, but Zhong Zining felt sour in her heart and said unconvincedly: "After leaving the show, I also want to have a sweet relationship, which will definitely be sweeter than yours."
Qiao Wanshu looked at Xu Qinghu's smiling face and sneered in her heart. Others didn't know Xu Qinghu's ex-boyfriend, so how could she not know? Xu Qinghu was digging a hole for herself.
Once that video gets out, Xu Qinghu will have no chance of turning things around, and He Shengnian will definitely regret his current choice.
As the game continues, everyone has a chance to get the Joker card, and the whole process is very engaging.
It wasn't until Zhong Zining turned over her cards and saw the Joker that she couldn't help but laugh, "Finally, it's my turn."
She looked around at the five handsome men in front of her, each of different ages, and propped her chin on her hand. "Let me think, who should I punish?"
Although she said this, her eyes still wandered between Wu Xuan and He Shengnian, and finally stopped at He Shengnian's face, "Let's punish Mr. He by taking a big risk."
She knew that there was no hope for her relationship with him, but she still wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know that she was not so easy to deal with.
He Shengnian stood up and pulled a piece of paper out of the adventure box. It read: "Find the female guest you text the most, and princess carry her to do 30 squats."
The moment he read out this question, He Shengnian's eyes darkened, and the others took a deep breath.
The program crew is really inhumane.
There have been five dates in the cabin so far. Xu Qinghu arrived too late as a catfish. It is an indisputable fact that the female guest He Shengnian was most interested in at the time was Qiao Wanshu. He sent her three consecutive text messages.
Although this note only contained a short sentence, it revealed the bloody reality between He Shengnian and Xu Qinghu.
She wasn't the first person he had a crush on.
Now he had to get intimate with Qiao Wanshu because of the heart-warming text messages he had sent earlier. This development was almost to break them apart.
[Oh my god, is the production team trying to break up He Xu's couple?]
[The director had previously reminded all guests that their text messages should be based on their true feelings. He Shengnian followed his heart, so there was no need to comment.]
[But this is even more nauseating, like a fact that everyone has collectively ignored suddenly surfaced, making me feel suffocated and unable to continue.]
[Adding to this his previous rejection and rejection of the gourd...]
[This is what men are like. They are all fickle.]
[Don't say that. That was just because Mr. He hasn't figured out his true feelings yet, so he sent the message. Didn't he treat Hulu very well later?]
[We are just bystanders. Their feelings are their own business. As long as Xu Qinghu feels it's okay, that's fine.]
[+1. Instead of questioning Mr. He, I'd rather call the production team out for being crazy. Setting up such a controversial punishment is simply an attempt to sow discord. Don't be fooled!]
He Shengnian first looked at Xu Qinghu, who had a faint smile in his eyes and said: "Look at what I do, I'll punish you first." It seemed that he didn't mind at all that he had sent three heart-warming text messages to Qiao Wanshu.
He Shengnian felt relieved and looked at Qiao Wanshu again, "I'm sorry, I need you to accompany me to complete this punishment."
"It's okay," Qiao Wanshu walked over to him and looked at his handsome features. "We're just playing a game, and following the rules is basic courtesy."
After saying that, she reached out and hugged He Shengnian's neck.
He Shengnian picked her up from the ground, but his palms did not touch her body. He just held her tightly with his arms, looking extremely gentlemanly.
Qiao Wanshu looked at his stern profile with burning eyes, and gently leaned her head on his chest. She seemed to cherish such an intimate moment, and her whole body softened.
Sensing her approach, He Shengnian's brows immediately furrowed, but Qiao Wanshu said, "Thank you for sending me a heartwarming message."
She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You were attracted to me before, right? Otherwise, how could you have persisted for so long?"
She curled up in He Shengnian's arms, her eyes slightly red. "If I had known this would be the result, I would never let you down."
She had looked down on He Shengnian with an arrogant attitude, and had also approached him proactively with regret, but she rarely showed such weakness and helplessness.
Because she doesn't allow herself to appear too humble, otherwise she will feel at a loss.
But now, her family is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the company's stock price has not recovered. She has no other choice but to cling to He Shengnian as a lifeline.
She no longer cares about dignity or decency.
Hearing her almost choked voice, He Shengnian did not respond, but just increased the speed of his squats, trying to put her down as soon as possible.
He did have feelings for Qiao Wanshu, but that was before they fully understood each other.
Now, he had made a clear choice and didn't want to hear her say this anymore.
Everyone looked at the intimate appearance of the two with mixed feelings, and couldn't help but observe Xu Qinghu's expression to see if she was jealous. Unexpectedly, she supported her chin with her hand, as if she was enjoying the performance, watching Qiao Wanshu and He Shengnian's performance, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
He seemed so calm, without any anxiety or fear.
"This is the person you chose," Wu Xuan said, "You don't even know how to refuse when playing games?"
His tone was cold, and he made no effort to hide his hostility.
Truth or Dare has other punishments, such as drinking a penalty instead of taking risks.
Xu Qinghu didn't know whether the program team had arranged such a segment, but He Shengnian was neither sick nor in any other trouble, so he would not easily embarrass the female guest.
"Does it matter?" Xu Qinghu asked, "Doesn't this just prove that he's someone who's willing to abide by the rules?"
Wu Xuan chuckled, looked at her fair face, and deliberately said: "Aren't you jealous?"
Xu Qinghu glanced at him with a warning in his eyes.
Wu Xuan snorted lightly: "I don't believe you are so generous."
Xu Qinghu still ignored him and just looked at Qiao Wanshu, who seemed to have no bones. The intimate posture of the two was like swans embracing each other, looking so well-matched.
Noticing her gaze, He Shengnian looked over with a hint of soothing in his eyes, afraid that she would be angry.
Xu Qinghu just smiled, without any sadness in his eyes.
"Hulu," Ruan Xiaoyu was also frightened by the closeness of Qiao Wanshu's initiative to shrink into He Shengnian's arms, and subconsciously said: "It's just a game, Mr. He will definitely know the limits."
Looking at Xu Qinghu's delicate face and then at Qiao Wanshu's worthless look, Zhong Zining felt strange. If she had known that He Shengnian would receive that kind of punishment, she would not have punished him at all.
Ever since Qiao Wanshu's identity and background were exposed, she realized Xu Qinghu's true situation. Her hostility towards her instantly decreased a lot, and she even felt a little sympathy for her.
"I didn't know the production team was so shameless," she said awkwardly. "If you want to blame someone, blame the director."
Xu Qinghu blinked at her when he heard that. "It's just a game. I don't blame anyone."
[It's so hard to judge. Does Qiao Wanshu have to be like this? It's like he has no bones.]
[The family is going bankrupt, what bottom line does she have?]
[She is now completely different from when she first came. I really can't accept it.]
[I don't like her, and even He Shengnian feels a little disgusted with her.]
[This is the result of the second generation who cannot walk upright. Apart from relying on the family, they can also find a man of the same class to marry. It is almost impossible for them to be independent.]
[When will she realize that this will only make everyone hate her more? Can she please get out of the dating show as soon as possible!]
Thirty squats were quickly completed. When He Shengnian bent down to put Qiao Wanshu down, the latter grabbed his strong arm and said, "I'm speaking from the heart. I don't expect you to return to your previous state. As long as you stop hating me, I can change any problem I have..."
She put herself very low, and this attitude made He Shengnian frown again.
"Feel sorry."
He brushed away Qiao Wanshu's hand and strode towards Xu Qinghu without any intention of responding to her thoughts.
After sitting back next to Xu Qinghu, he took the initiative to explain: "Don't think too much, there is no possibility between her and me."
Xu Qinghu nodded, "I believe you."
She didn't even look at Qiao Wanshu and threw the cards in her hand away.
He smiled and said, "I've been in contact with you for so long, it's impossible that I don't even have this little trust."
Seeing the two of them still getting along intimately, Qiao Wanshu's eyes flashed and he silently returned to his original position.
She no longer cares about what others think. Neither online opinions nor the guests in the cabin can shake her decision.
The only one who could help her now was He Shengnian. She would never give up on him no matter what.
"I know." Looking into Xu Qinghu's bright and clear eyes, He Shengnian's expression softened a little. "I will only send my text messages to you from now on."
Xu Qinghu's eyes curved, "Okay."
The game continued, and everyone got a clown card, including Xu Qinghu. Perhaps because of the previous experience, she did not punish the player with a dare but a truth-telling game.
Until Ruan Xiaoyu got the Joker card again, her eyes immediately fell on Wu Xuan, "Junior, I'm going to punish you."
She stroked her chin and said with a wicked smile, "How about I punish you with a dare too?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan stood up from his chair and pulled out a slip of paper from the box. It read: "Choose one person of the opposite sex present here, have them sit on your back, and do twenty push-ups."
Hearing this, Xu Qinghu's breathing stagnated slightly and his heart seemed to skip a beat.
"Wow!" Ruan Xiaoyu and Zhong Zining applauded. This was a good time to show off their junior's boyfriend power, and they were looking forward to his performance.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xuan held the note but did not move for a long time. He looked at his legs and his eyes suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Besides the big dare, the production team should have prepared other punishments," Xu Qinghu said at the right time: "If you don't want to take this punishment..."
"I'm sorry, I can't do this punishment." Wu Xuan said to her almost at the same time, "My body won't allow me to do this."
"What?" Ruan Xiaoyu was stunned, looking at Wu Xuan's tall figure, not understanding what was wrong with him.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xuan gently lifted up the trouser leg of his left leg, revealing a prosthetic limb underneath that was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Everyone's pupils contracted violently.
Wu Xuan, actually...
"I'm sorry," the man whispered, "I might have to change the punishment."
