Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Returning to the cottage, she gave birth to countless rebellious thoughts...
Du Yanting narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes as he looked at Xu Qinghu.
Xu Qinghu looked at him calmly, "What's wrong? Are you interested in my dinner?"
"I think you are very self-disciplined," Du Yanting said with a smile, "If there is a chance, I can take a look at your customized recipes."
"no problem."
Du Yanting realized that the timing was wrong and did not mention Qiao Wanshu again.
"Is that so?" Gu Jingchen didn't seem to notice Xu Qinghu's implication and said immediately, "Everyone takes turns cooking in the hut. If you have any dietary restrictions, you must tell us in advance. Even if you don't eat staple food for dinner, we can prepare other foods for you."
He is such a gentle person, and his natural care and consideration make it easy for the opposite sex to like him.
"Thank you," Xu Qinghu retracted his gaze from Du Yanting, "I'll prepare dinner myself. There's nothing I can avoid."
Gu Jingchen didn't continue the topic after hearing this, but asked: "Then how did you get here today? Have you put your luggage in the cabin?"
"Not yet, the luggage is still at the front desk."
"Then I'll help you carry it when you go back." He exuded warm kindness.
Xu Qinghu nodded and reached for the kettle nearby. Seeing this, You Zhi immediately stood up and said, "I'll pour it for you."
He lowered his eyes to look at Xu Qinghu and said shyly: "You can give me your cup."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu handed him the water cup and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
You Zhi said you're welcome and put the water in front of her, with the tips of his ears turning slightly red.
Du Yanting glanced back and forth between the two of them and casually said, "Xiao You arrived at the restaurant earlier than me. Don't you have classes this afternoon?"
He said this not out of concern for You Zhi's schedule, but to hint to the audience that there is a possibility for Xu Qinghu and You Zhi to develop a relationship, thus bringing in a group of CP fans.
"Well," You Zhi explained softly, "I'm not busy this afternoon."
"Have you decided where you're going to work?"
"I've been accepted into graduate school," You Zhi said, "and I'll continue to stay in school."
"That's great," He Shengnian continued, "You need to further your studies in your major, so you'll be more confident leading projects in the future."
Several of them are successful people in society. When facing the student You Zhi, they are obviously much more mature and steady, making You Zhi seem more like a harmless little white rabbit.
"I still don't know which school you graduated from?" Du Yanting changed the subject and focused on Xu Qinghu again.
After appearing on a dating show, people not only compare their work, but also their schools and family backgrounds, which are the most exposed things besides appearance.
Xu Qinghu's beauty might give people the impression of being a brainless, pretty girl. If she had some educational shortcomings, it would have generated a lot of discussion.
He Shengnian and Gu Jingchen also looked over, obviously concerned about this issue.
"Guess what," Xu Qinghu said without showing any fear, "whoever guesses correctly can receive the gift I prepared."
Her calm and composed look made Du Yanting squint his eyes again.
Compared with other female guests in the cabin, Xu Qinghu seemed too angular.
Even though she often had a smile on her face and would not easily let what she said fall to the ground, he still vaguely sensed the uncontrollability in her.
Such people participate in dating shows obviously to make the cozy little house livelier.
"Okay," Gu Jingchen said subconsciously: "You should have graduated from a film school or a music school, right?"
Xu Qinghu shook his head, "No."
If she graduated from a film school, how could she sign with an agency only now?
"Are you studying dancing?" He Shengnian had already noticed her sitting posture.
Xu Qinghu denied it again, "I'm not an art exam candidate."
This made everyone fall into thought.
[I guess the fifth girl goes to an average school, otherwise she wouldn't be able to enter the entertainment industry.]
[Why is the fifth girl keeping it a secret? Can't she just say it directly?]
[Although, perhaps the fifth girl went to a very good university? We can't underestimate her academic qualifications just because of the job she chose, right?]
After several guesses, no one could guess the school Xu Qinghu graduated from.
Gu Jingchen pretended to be helpless and said, "Can you give me some hints?"
Xu Qinghu: "There is a famous garden in our school, and people from outside the school come to visit every day."
Before he finished speaking, You Zhi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Qinghu with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Are you a graduate of Yanning University?"
Yanning University is one of the best universities in the city, and she actually graduated from Yanning University.
This was an answer no one expected. After all, she—
Even He Shengnian and Du Yanting were a little surprised.
"Are you surprised?" Xu Qinghu still had a smile on his face. "Do you think I don't look like a student of Yanning University?"
You Zhi looked at her face and finally understood why the program crew asked her to come to the cabin halfway. She was more than just beautiful.
"Then you must be a good student," Gu Jingchen stared at Xu Qinghu with burning eyes and sighed: "I can imagine how popular you are in school."
"I'm very busy at school," Xu Qinghu said, "I rarely meet new friends."
"Then you and Qiao Qiao are alumni," Du Yanting quickly recovered and said with a smile: "She is a graduate student at Yanning University and graduated last year."
"Really?" Xu Qinghu didn't avoid questions related to Qiao Wanshu this time. "That's such a coincidence."
In the novel, she is the control group of Qiao Wanshu. Although she is also excellent in terms of academic qualifications and other aspects, she will never be able to compare with the heroine.
Xu Qinghu was not discouraged by this.
After all, the control group in the novel is to completely deny and destroy a person through constant comparison and criticism.
She is the one who was destroyed.
So when Du Yanting brought up Qiao Wanshu to suppress her arrogance, she did not show any fear.
Qiao Wanshu is very outstanding, that is Qiao Wanshu's life.
My old swan, I thought the fifth female lead was just a pretty face, but I didn't expect her to be a genuine academic genius. She's so amazing!
[I admit I spoke a little loudly earlier. Her beauty and education combined have brought her beauty to new heights. I'm a huge fan!]
After learning the school she graduated from, all the guests looked at her differently. It turns out girls really need to study more. Looking forward to her life in the cabin.
But some people also dislike Xu Qinghu.
[Isn't she a graduate of Yanning University? Qiao Wanshu is also a graduate student, so why isn't she as pretentious as her?]
[Yes, she is still far behind Qiao Wanshu. Qiao Wanshu is more pure and elegant.]
[Female Number Five is such a scheming person. She could have just told us the school she graduated from, but she kept it a secret. Isn't she just trying to get people to praise her?]
[Those jealous faces upstairs are hilarious. This is Xu Qinghu's home turf, what does it have to do with Qiao Wanshu?]
[Qiao Wanshu's fans, please hurry back to her livestream and study her previous self-introduction carefully to avoid attracting negative attention.]
Perhaps because of his academic qualifications, Du Yanting did not ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at the darkening sky outside and said, "It's getting late. We should go back."
"Let's go," Gu Jingchen said to Xu Qinghu, "Let's go downstairs to get your luggage."
"Okay." A group of people came to the front desk and took out Xu Qinghu's suitcase.
Except for You Zhi, the other three men drove their cars. Gu Jingchen invited them, "You can go back in my car."
Xu Qinghu looked at the luggage in his trunk and nodded. "Thank you for your help."
Gu Jingchen raised his hand to open the passenger seat and was about to let her get in when You Zhi came over from behind and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can I go back with you?"
"Sure," Gu Jingchen smiled and asked him to get in the car, "You..."
"Let me sit in the front row," You Zhi stepped forward to help Xu Qinghu open the back door, "You get in first."
"Thank you." Xu Qinghu sat down. You Zhi closed the car door and turned to sit in the passenger seat.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchen didn't say much. He raised his hand to greet He Shengnian and Du Yanting, and got into the car.
"Did you feel nervous when you had dinner with us just now?" Gu Jingchen asked in a gentle voice after driving out of the parking lot.
"It's okay," Xu Qinghu leaned back in his chair, "Everyone is very gentlemanly."
"Are you worried about life in the cabin then?"
Xu Qinghu immediately thought of the plot about himself in the novel, and his chest felt like it was holding back his breath. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually full of rebellious thoughts.
It's ridiculous that she ended up in such a hopeless situation just because she participated in a show.
No one knows Xu Qinghu better than herself. She will never die in depression and despair, nor will she lose the faith to live.
Maybe she would temporarily return to her hometown to relax because of the online public opinion, but she would not be depressed. If she died, it must be murder.
"What are you worried about?" she asked, "Is there a bad guy in the hut?"
"How could that be?" Gu Jingchen laughed. "Besides us, there are four other girls in the cabin. You should get along well with each other."
Xu Qinghu nodded, and Gu Jingchen said, "There should be a new male guest today."
Xu Qinghu thought of the male guest, who was Qiao Wanshu's loyal pursuer and had caused her a lot of trouble in the novel.
"So are they going out on a date too?"
Gu Jingchen looked at the red light ahead, his eyes darkening a little, "We'll know only when we get back."
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a brightly lit villa.
Before Xu Qinghu even got out of the car, he saw the vibrant flowers and plants in the garden. The abundance of roses and romantic decorations made everything seem like a dream, not real.
There are already three cars parked in the outdoor parking lot.
Gu Jingchen smiled, "They're back."
After saying that, he parked the car.
Just as Xu Qinghu was about to get out of the car, the gate of the villa was pushed open from the inside, and two figures walked out hand in hand. "Who's back? Is it Teacher Gu?"
The girl who spoke had a pleasant voice, like a lark in the forest, lively and curious.
"It's me," Gu Jingchen pushed open the car door and got out. Looking at Ruan Xiaoyu and Zhong Zining approaching, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. "I saw your car. Are you guys going out on a date today too?"
The author has something to say:
