Chapter 121 Chapter 121 Give him a chance, then she will give him another chance...
Xu Qinghu's pupils shrank noticeably for a moment. He didn't expect him to say such a thing. "You..."
Her thoughts became even more chaotic, and she spoke incoherently: "What if I don't choose you in the end? Will you not be disappointed and blame me?"
"No," He Shengnian said, "We still have plenty of time. I'll stay with you until you figure it out."
Xu Qinghu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips for a long time without saying anything.
He Shengnian looked at her gently and said slowly, "Don't feel burdened. Whether to refuse or accept is entirely up to you. If you wish, you can begin testing me as a suitor now."
Xu Qinghu's eyes fluttered shut, her fair, delicate features appearing even more beautiful in the dim room. After a moment, she spoke, "He Shengnian, it's certainly not that easy for me to let you go, but I know for sure I won't choose you as resolutely as I did before."
She opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her. Her voice became a little colder: "This time, I will think clearly about what I want."
He Shengnian met her eyes, his gaze unevasive but full of tolerance. "I'll give you time to prove my sincerity to you."
Xu Qinghu's gaze returned to the screen in front of her. As the animation scene changed, her profile was also covered by light and shadow. "Then I'll give you another chance."
When he heard this, He Shengnian's expression changed obviously, and his gaze towards Xu Qinghu became even more scorching.
Wasn't it because he was so worried about her these past few days that he wanted her to soften her attitude? Her willingness to give him a chance meant that she still had feelings for him, which was a great thing for him.
Before this, He Shengnian had never thought that he would care so much about a woman, but after getting Xu Qinghu's response, he found that this was more fulfilling than reaching a cooperation in the business world.
He stared at Xu Qinghu with scorching eyes, "Then watch how I perform."
Xu Qinghu chuckled, "He Shengnian, why are you becoming more and more childish? Are you still the Mr. He I know?"
Hearing her familiar tone, He Shengnian's lips curled up and he extended his hand and said, "Then let's get to know each other again. My name is He Shengnian, and I'm very happy to meet you on the dating show."
Xu Qinghu turned around, hesitated for a moment, and then held his hand, softly responding: "Xu Qinghu."
The two held hands in the extremely quiet movie theater, as if they were meeting for the first time.
[Ahhh! President He is so awesome!]
[I knew they couldn't be separated easily. They had to be locked up for me!]
[Reacquaintance means the past is over. He Shengnian is truly a domineering CEO, and he's a master at seizing opportunities. If I were Xu Qinghu, I'd be impressed by him, too.]
[The misunderstanding has been resolved, and they will definitely be able to get together in the end! CP fans are overjoyed!]
[I'm so moved that tears are flowing. This is exactly what I want to see. Hulu and Mr. He must be happy!]
[Blessings 99! ]
The live broadcast room was flooded with comments, most of which were blessings, but many people also felt sorry for Wu Xuan and hoped that Xu Qinghu could see him.
[Although, what should the junior do? He will definitely be sad if he knows Hulu and Mr. He have reconciled.]
[+1, Junior is also very good, and even loves Hulu more than Mr. He. Can't we have both?]
[Emm, when my junior was picking fruit with Xiaoyu, he was complaining about Hulu not having a lot of fruit to eat. He looked so smug and adorable, but then his possessions were stolen?]
[Did the younger brother still lose to the older brother? But the younger brother really likes the gourd. I can’t imagine how sad he must be when he comes back.]
After the movie, the others came back one after another. Xu Qinghu went out with He Shengnian and saw the various ingredients they brought back, and he also showed off his harvest.
"So many fish," Ruan Xiaoyu was a little surprised. "Are you and Mr. He so good at fishing?"
"It's her first time fishing today," He Shengnian said, walking up to Xu Qinghu and hintingly, "but she's able to catch fish on par with me. Her skills are truly not to be underestimated."
He lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qinghu's beautiful face, with obvious emotions in his eyes.
Even though Ruan Xiaoyu was a thick-skinned person, she noticed the subtle changes between the two of them. "So, did you guys have fun fishing?"
She glanced at Wu Xuan, who was standing not far away, and said calmly, "Did anything interesting happen?"
"I fell into the water," Xu Qinghu said, "It was Mr. He who rescued me. If it weren't for him, I would have suffered again."
Hearing this, everyone looked over. They didn't expect that such an accident would happen between the two of them.
"How are you?" Ruan Xiaoyu asked, "Are you okay?"
Xu Qinghu shook his head. "Boss He rescued me in time. I'm not in any danger."
"That's good," Ruan Xiaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to He Shengnian, "This should be the second time Mr. He has saved Hulu."
The moment she said this, she felt it was a coincidence, and others could sense the change in the relationship between the two.
Qiao Wanshu's eyes darkened and the corners of his mouth tightened.
Wu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes fell on Xu Qinghu's face, and said meaningfully: "Is it such a coincidence?"
He walked over to Xu Qinghu and looked at the fish spines surging in the bucket, but there was no smile in his eyes. "It seems that you are having a lot of fun."
Xu Qinghu glanced at him with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Wu Xuan raised his eyebrows, picked out a few of the largest fish, and said he wanted to eat pan-fried fish fillets.
"Whatever," He Shengnian said calmly, "Just save a few for the barbecue this afternoon."
"Is that so?" Wu Xuan didn't hesitate and asked the chef to cook all the fish that Xu Qinghu had caught. "I really like eating fish. You shouldn't mind, right?"
He Shengnian narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qinghu. She stood beside Wu Xuan and didn't seem to care how the bucket of fish was cooked. "Then why don't you bring it up?"
Wu Xuan snorted softly, and the gloom in his eyes seemed to dissipate a little. "When will you take me fishing? I'm sure I can catch more than you."
He Shengnian's brows immediately frowned.
At noon, they had a fish feast. He Shengnian and Wu Xuan sat on both sides of Xu Qinghu. Every time a dish was served, He Shengnian would use the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Xu Qinghu and ask her to eat more.
This has almost never happened before.
The most important thing is that Xu Qinghu did not refuse, but accepted it all and responded frankly to He Shengnian's goodwill.
This is a signal.
It made everyone realize once again that her relationship with He Shengnian had changed.
Wu Xuan lowered his eyelashes, and his handsome face was cold, as if he was deliberately suppressing the emotions churning in his heart.
Du Yanting curled the corners of his mouth, thinking that this was a good way out. If they hadn't fallen into the water, it would be nonsense to expect them to reconcile.
Not to mention Xu Qinghu himself, even the audience couldn't accept it.
But what was falling into the water? It was a hero saving a beautiful woman, a life-saving grace. Compared to this, all the previous moments became insignificant. Xu Qinghu had made a brilliant move.
He Shengnian has a step, she has a step, and the audience also has a step.
Du Yanting chuckled and looked at Xu Qinghu who was diagonally opposite him. She looked sideways and talked to He Shengnian. There was a bright smile in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if they had returned to the way they used to get along.
No, not in the past. It was a reversal of status, with the superior bowing down and the inferior taking control.
Even a smart person like Du Yanting was shocked by this move and could not take his eyes off it for a long time.
Gu Jingchen felt a little lost. He thought Xu Qinghu would stay away from He Shengnian after knowing the ending of her previous life, but he didn't expect that she would still be willing to contact him.
What exactly does she want to do? Continue to take revenge on He Shengnian? But He Shengnian is the male protagonist. In her previous life, Wu Xuan spent more than ten years to finally shake the He family's status, and died with He Shengnian. She doesn't have Wu Xuan's family background, so what can she do to He Shengnian?
Or is she really in love with He Shengnian and wants to be with him? Is she so magnanimous?
Gu Jingchen found himself walking into a fog, and had no idea what Xu Qinghu was really thinking. He just wanted the romance show to end quickly so that he could escape from this suffocating situation.
After lunch, everyone rested for a few hours at the farm house and then started preparing dinner.
Du Yanting and Wen Ruoxi have almost finished the preliminary work, and all that remains is to wash the vegetables, fruits and grill the skewers.
Xu Qinghu was in charge of cutting vegetables, while He Shengnian followed the others in stringing the vegetables together and fed her some fruit from time to time.
Wu Xuan watched the interaction between the two coldly, his eyes becoming darker and darker.
It was not until night fell that the program team lit a bonfire in front of the house and everyone started barbecuing. The aroma of the food spread quickly in the air like a hook.
Halfway through the barbecue, the staff of the program team took over the rest of the work and asked them to find a place to sit down quickly.
Xu Qinghu looked around and chose a seat in the middle. Ruan Xiaoyu pulled Wen Ruoxi to sit next to her, and the group began to eat and drink.
"Would you like some chicken wings?" He Shengnian asked gently, sitting not far from her.
Xu Qinghu raised his hand and handed him his plate. "Thank you."
"There are still shrimps," He Shengnian said, "I'll peel them and give them to you."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. He."
Watching their interaction without paying attention to others, everyone felt even more complicated. Who would have thought that they would be able to reconcile in the end?
After dinner, the director came forward and said, "The show is almost over, and now is the time to speak your mind. I have specially arranged a heart-to-heart talk session for everyone. Just write someone's name on a card and you will have the opportunity to have a private conversation with that person for half an hour."
"Huh?" Zhong Zining's eyes widened. "When did the production team become so nice?"
"Can I only write one person's name?" Wen Ruoxi looked up and asked, "Are there any special regulations?"
The director shook his head. "Anyone you want to talk to can write their name on the card. Gender is not restricted."
"The only requirement for this conversation is to be honest with each other," the director said meaningfully, "I hope everyone can be honest with their own hearts." After saying that, he handed out the cards.
Xu Qinghu looked at the blank area, holding the pen for a long time without moving, until everyone else handed in their cards, she came to her senses and returned her card to the director.
Soon, the director pointed to a few small, glowing rooms not far away. "Those are the chat rooms. Guests whose names I call can go over and wait."
He coughed lightly and called Xu Qinghu's name first, followed by He Shengnian, Gu Jingchen and others.
Xu Qinghu walked forward and chose a room.
The space inside was very small and quiet, with cameras installed all around. Even if there were no followers, the guests' interactions could not escape the camera's capture.
She sat down on the blue sofa and waited for a while before she heard footsteps outside.
Xu Qinghu thought that the person who wanted to talk to her was He Shengnian or Wu Xuan, but when she saw the figure pushing open the door, even though she was calm, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Qiao Wanshu, wearing a white long dress, appeared in her sight. She gently closed the door and walked to the seat opposite Xu Qinghu and sat down.
Xu Qinghu looked at her slightly haggard face and instantly guessed why she chose him.
"Are you surprised?" Qiao Wanshu raised his head and said in a light voice, "I think anyone would invite you, but that person would definitely not be me."
"Not bad." Xu Qinghu said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I don't know either," Qiao Wanshu leaned back on the sofa, a hint of fatigue in his eyes. "After the director said those words, the first person that came to my mind was you. Even I find it hard to believe."
"Why is it you?" Qiao Wanshu said to himself, "I should have chosen Mr. He or Zhong Zining, but I just wanted to chat with you."
"I always feel like I should say something to you," she looked into Xu Qinghu's eyes, "but when I actually see you, I don't know what to say."
"It's okay not to tell," Xu Qinghu said, "We can wait for the time to end."
Qiao Wanshu didn't expect to get such an answer, and his gaze lingered on Xu Qinghu's face for a moment.
The space was so narrow that they could even hear each other's breathing, let alone each other's emotional changes.
Qiao Wanshu looked away until his eyes were sore. "If there's anything I want to say, it's to explain some misunderstandings to you."
She whispered, "There was a lot of online public opinion going on before, and many people with ulterior motives were trying to sow discord between you and me. I've been trying to explain myself, but I couldn't find the right opportunity."
She looked at Xu Qinghu again, "No matter what people speculate online, I have never been hostile to you, and I will never hurt you for my own selfish reasons."
After these words were spoken, not only Xu Qinghu, but even the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't be fooled.
[Has Qiao Wanshu lost her memory? Hasn't she done enough to Xu Qinghu? Now she's coming here to clear her name, does she deserve it?]
[Although I've been a fan of He Qiao's relationship, to be honest, if it weren't for Wu Xuan, Xu Qinghu would have had a hard time getting away unscathed. She almost ruined Xu Qinghu, and she still dares to say she has no hostility?]
[Qiao Wanshu really doesn't even want to act anymore.]
[She didn't come here to talk, she just knew the Qiao family was going bankrupt and she was doomed.]
If Xu Qinghu wasn't so strong, do you think she would still come over and act pitiful? She would definitely laugh at Xu Qinghu behind his back.
[Save your time, miss. You'd better spend your time thinking about what to do if you go bankrupt.]
If she had dared to admit what she had done to Xu Qinghu, and even claimed to be true to her nature, would this be the result?
