Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Special Identity His identity is somewhat special...
There were many speculations in the live broadcast room. Some people said that the atmosphere between Xu Qinghu and Wu Xuan was weird and they might have been in a relationship. Others said that they must have had a conflict before, so Wu Xuan had a problem with Xu Qinghu.
In short, we knew each other before.
When this conclusion came out, the audience became a little uneasy.
If they knew each other, wouldn't Wu Xuan's reason for participating in the show be obvious? It's probably for Xu Qinghu.
[Who said he came to the show just because he liked Xu Qinghu? Stop saying that, okay? If they had any connection, they would have been together in school.]
[Am I the only one worried about the couple I just started supporting? I just hope He and Xu can get together smoothly, otherwise I'll cry my heart out.]
[This timing is amazing! A new guest has arrived, and He Shengnian is actually working overtime? My old swan, how could this be such a coincidence?]
Wu Xuan clearly dislikes Xu Qinghu. Perhaps he even suffered harassment from her at school, which is why he's so repulsive to her. In my opinion, Qiao Qiao is the best match for him.
[+1, I'm optimistic about him and Qiao Qiao.]
Xu Qinghu stood there for a while before returning to the room.
She went into the bathroom and took a shower. When she came out, Ruan Xiaoyu had already come back from chatting and was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"Wu Xuan is really good-looking," she couldn't help but sigh when she saw Xu Qinghu, "but his personality is a bit cold. I don't know if I still have a chance."
Xu Qinghu paused slightly, "You have a good impression of him?"
"Of course," Ruan Xiaoyu said with a smile, "He's so handsome, it's hard not to like him, right?"
Xu Qinghu didn't respond and walked to the dressing table to do her skin care.
"Oh, gourd," Ruan Xiaoyu looked at her from behind and couldn't help asking, "You and Wu Xuan went to the same school. Have you met him before?"
Xu Qinghu's eyelashes drooped, "I met him at school."
Ruan Xiaoyu blinked, ran over to sit next to her, and asked excitedly: "Then do you know what his hobbies are? Are there any photos of him at school?"
Looking at her bright eyes, Xu Qinghu was sure that she was very interested in Wu Xuan. She had not been so enthusiastic even when facing Gu Jingchen.
Xu Qinghu didn't answer the question directly, but just said: "If you really like him, just ask him. If he is willing to tell you, wouldn't that be better?"
"That makes sense," Ruan Xiaoyu raised her hand to support her chin, "If I could take him down with my own ability, I'd feel a great sense of accomplishment just thinking about it."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
"What about you?" Ruan Xiaoyu asked in a voice only the two of them could hear: "You and Mr. He...will not change?"
She looked at Xu Qinghu with burning eyes, and became even more obsessed with her.
"Why?" Xu Qinghu raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care about us so much?"
Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh twice, "I just think you two are quite suitable for each other. You've fallen into a pit and can't get out."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
It was late at night, and most people in the cottage were asleep, when a car drove up the path and stopped at the garden gate.
The man in the black suit pushed the door open and got out of the car. He looked at the brightly lit living room and walked into the house with his long legs.
When he passed a room with a closed door, he paused, but did not knock on the door to disturb them. Instead, he walked away lightly.
The night was dark and steady breathing sounds could be heard beside him, but Xu Qinghu was staring at the phone interface and did not move.
She remembered that there was no description of Wu Xuan in the novel, so why would he come to participate in the dating variety show?
Originally, she was quite satisfied with the fact that she kicked Qi Song out, but she didn't expect that the program team would arrange a new guest, which caught her off guard.
Xu Qinghu suddenly didn't know whether letting Qi Song leave was a good thing or shooting himself in the foot.
The next day, she got up with dark eyelids, put on some more gorgeous makeup, and then hurried downstairs.
The lights in the living room and kitchen were on, and the sound of cutting vegetables could be faintly heard.
Xu Qinghu pushed open the door and walked in. Wu Xuan stood with his back to her. He had changed into a long-sleeved shirt with embroidery. It was still a cold black color, but because he was wearing a white apron, the coldness on his body was neutralized, making him look a little homely.
Hearing the voice, the man glanced sideways slightly. When he saw her, his eyes changed and he said, "What are you doing standing at the door? Come and help."
Xu Qinghu walked over to him, looked at the vegetables he had already cut, and his eyes fell on his right hand. He lowered his eyes and said, "I'll cook, you help me."
Wu Xuan didn't say anything, picked up the cherry tomatoes beside him and prepared to make a vegetable salad.
"You go and guard the stove," Xu Qinghu took the kitchen knife from his hand, "I'll take care of the rest."
Cooking eggs and steaming breakfast on the stove is a very simple job as long as you turn off the fire within the specified time.
Wu Xuan avoided her hand and said subconsciously: "I'm not a useless person."
Xu Qinghu looked up at him. Wu Xuan had a pair of narrow and beautiful eyes, and he was also staring at her at this time. There was a cool luster lingering in his dark eyes, which looked a little sharp.
"I didn't say you were useless," she said again: "Go watch the stove." She did not argue with him like she did with Qi Song, and her tone was even a little gentle.
Wu Xuan looked at her deeply and turned his head away expressionlessly.
Xu Qinghu took the kitchen knife from his hand and cut the vegetables and fruits needed for the salad.
Wu Xuan's eyelashes moved slightly as he looked at her fair and clean profile without saying anything else.
The kitchen was very quiet. Apart from the sounds of the steamer and cutting vegetables, the two of them had almost no communication.
But this kind of silence is not boring or awkward, but rather mixed with something that is hard to explain.
It was not until the man in the white shirt walked to the kitchen door and raised his hand to knock on the door that the two of them turned around at the same time.
He Shengnian stood by the door, his eyes falling on Xu Qinghu, and said in a low and pleasant voice: "Sorry, I worked overtime too late yesterday."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Qinghu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Your work is more important."
He Shengnian then looked at Wu Xuan, and the moment he saw his appearance clearly, the color of his eyes suddenly changed.
When he came back yesterday, he heard Gu Jingchen say that there was a new guest in the cabin, but he didn't talk about it in detail, after all, he would meet him today.
But when he saw Wu Xuan, his eyes were obviously surprised, as if he recognized Wu Xuan.
"Hello," He Shengnian quickly recovered, suppressed his doubts, and introduced himself to Wu Xuan, "Changning Law Firm, He Shengnian."
Seeing this, Wu Xuan's eyes flashed with darkness, "Yanning University, Wu Xuan."
He Shengnian nodded and walked into the kitchen. "What are you preparing for breakfast? I'll help you."
He walked straight to Xu Qinghu, glanced at the chopped ingredients, and asked, "Do you want to stir-fry seasonal vegetables?"
"Yes," Xu Qinghu said, "Stir-fried broccoli and greens."
"Let me do it," He Shengnian whispered, "You take the tableware to the restaurant first."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu did not refuse his kindness and raised his hand to open the cupboard door.
Watching the two people's extremely natural communication, there was no expression on Wu Xuan's handsome face. He just stared at the steamer that was constantly emitting steam, and seemed a little distracted.
It wasn't until Xu Qinghu left the kitchen with the dishes that Wu Xuan asked, "You have a good relationship with her?"
He Shengnian immediately realized that he was trying to inquire about the relationship in the room, and said slowly, "She and I have a mutual affection."
He spoke concisely and directly stated his relationship with Xu Qinghu, reminding Wu Xuan not to waste time on Xu Qinghu even if he had any ideas.
"Really?" Wu Xuan's lips curled up, a faint smile making his eyes, deeper than a cold pond, appear particularly lively. "I used to doubt the authenticity of the show, but I didn't expect that such sincere emotions could be born in such a short time."
There was a hint of sigh in his tone, as if he was lamenting that the progress between He Shengnian and Xu Qinghu was too fast.
He Shengnian looked at him and said, "Since you're willing to participate in the show, there's no need to lie."
Before he finished speaking, the two men looked at each other. He Shengnian was calm and reserved, with a composed expression, like an ancient well with no bottom. Wu Xuan was like a sharp sword, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, as if he would hurt people as soon as he was unsheathed, revealing his edge.
"That makes sense." After a brief eye contact, Wu Xuan whispered, "We've already participated in the show, how could we just act casually?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to lift the lid of the steamer. Perhaps because the steam was too thick or his arms were weak, the lid slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a "bang"!
The loud noise immediately caught Xu Qinghu's attention.
"What's wrong?" She walked quickly into the kitchen and saw Wu Xuan standing in front of the stove, staring at the cracked pot lid in a daze.
"I," he looked at Xu Qinghu and lowered his eyes, "I just wanted to see if the food inside was cooked."
Xu Qinghu picked up the pot lid and looked at his red fingertips. He subconsciously said, "Why are you so careless? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the time?"
Her tone was a little serious, which did not scare Wu Xuan, but made He Shengnian frown. "There is a medicine box in the hut. I'll go find some burn ointment." After saying that, she walked out.
Xu Qinghu glanced at Wu Xuan, who just stared at her motionlessly, his gaze deep and heavy, as if trying to see through her eyes into her heart. "I didn't mean it."
A hint of anger emerged in Xu Qinghu's eyes, but he suppressed it forcefully. "Let me treat your injury first."
Looking at her peach blossom eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, Wu Xuan seemed to be sure of something, and his fingertips curled up unconsciously, but he did not confront her like before.
He Shengnian quickly brought over the burn ointment and handed it to Wu Xuan, saying, "Go outside and apply the ointment first. Hulu and I will prepare breakfast."
Wu Xuan took the burn ointment and whispered "thank you", but his eyes looked at Xu Qinghu.
The latter was busy dealing with the mess and had no intention of paying attention to him. Wu Xuan did not linger and left the kitchen.
He Shengnian turned around, looked at Xu Qinghu's calm profile, and whispered, "Wu Xuan has a special status. If you don't want to partner with him, I can propose to the production team to transfer you and me to the same group."
When Xu Qinghu heard him say that Wu Xuan had a special status, he didn't even blink. He shook his head and said, "Don't bother with that. If we make any adjustments, it might upset the new guest. So let it be."
He Shengnian didn't insist after hearing that, but simply said, "I'll pick you up from get off work later and take you shopping."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled at him, "Thank you for helping me today."
Seeing her eyes curved, no longer serious as when she treated Wu Xuan, a smile flashed across He Shengnian's eyes.
When the others came downstairs, breakfast was already prepared.
He Shengnian sat next to Xu Qinghu and took care of her dining experience as usual.
Looking at the intimacy between the two, Qiao Wanshu pursed his lips, feeling complicated and bitter.
She contacted her brother again last night to ask what to do next.
With her current popularity, it is only a matter of time before she is surpassed by Xu Qinghu. They can no longer sit idly by.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xicheng just asked her to stay calm. They still had many ways to suppress Xu Qinghu. As long as they hit him with one strike, Xu Qinghu would never be able to recover.
Qiao Wanshu was a little uneasy, "Is there still no news about Qi Song?"
"Qi Song has gone abroad," Qiao Xicheng said, "and he won't be back in the short term."
Qiao Wanshu's breath hitched. "Did He Shengnian do this? Just because Qi Song chose a bad date location, he wanted to vent his anger on Xu Qinghu?"
"If he finds out..." Qiao Wanshu didn't dare to think further, and said in a hoarse voice: "Can I really continue to contact him?"
He Shengnian is so protective of her that he will definitely have a bad impression of her after finding out the truth. Qiao Wanshu is worried that he will target her and the Qiao family.
"It shouldn't be him," Qiao Xicheng said quickly, "He and Xu Qinghu haven't developed much further. He's probably just warning the Qi family and won't do anything too obvious. I guess the Qi family is afraid their competitors will get hold of them, so they're sending him away in a hurry."
"Is that so?" Qiao Wanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then how is Qi Song now?"
"I don't know," Qiao Xicheng said, "His news is kept secret very strictly. All I know is that he has left the country, but I don't know where he went."
Qiao Wanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. As long as it wasn't He Shengnian who did it, Qi Song's disappearance would actually be a good thing for her.
"I understand, brother," she said softly, "I will act according to the plan."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Qiao Xicheng reminded again: "Even if He Shengnian has other ideas, you can't lose your composure. Don't ignore the help others can provide you. Popularity and traffic are also crucial."
"good."
"As for the new male guest," Qiao Xicheng paused, "since you and he are classmates, you should make good use of this relationship and make him rely on you as a senior, instead of pushing him to someone else."
Qiao Wanshu thought of Wu Xuan's overly cold expression, and then thought about how popular he was in school. He was moved: "Brother, can you find his identity information?"
Wu Xuan was rumored to be a rich second-generation in school, but she didn't know what Wu Xuan's family background was like, so she wanted Qiao Xicheng to help her find out.
Qiao Xicheng thought of Wu Xuan's noble temperament and felt that Wu Xuan had an extraordinary background. "I will ask someone I know for help."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wanshu thought for a long time and realized again that he should do both.
Although He Shengnian is her ultimate goal, she is also determined to win the popular female guest in the cabin.
Before, she ignored her situation in the cabin because she cared too much about He Shengnian. Now she will not continue to be stupid.
She would not foolishly push Gu Jingchen away again, nor would she give up on him just because Du Yanting's status was not as good as He Shengnian. As for You Zhi and Wu Xuan, she would also seize the opportunity to interact with them.
Only in this way can she change her own destiny and the destiny of her family.
So when she saw He Shengnian taking special care of Xu Qinghu, although she felt sad, she also calmed down a lot.
"Are you still used to the environment in the cabin?" She took the initiative to talk to Wu Xuan, "If you need any help, please tell me. As a senior student, I have an obligation to take care of my junior students."
Wu Xuan glanced at her, but didn't continue her words: "Thank you, but I won't need your help."
