“Film Emperor Gu, are you alright?” Xiao Shu was startled by Gu Minghe’s expression.
This feeling of having one’s wife snatched away, looking as if he wanted to drag the whole world to hell with him, was truly too terrifying!
Gu Minghe regained his reason, and his gloomy gaze turned calm once more, as if the person radiating cold air just now wasn’t him. He wore his usual professional smile, and his tone was as normal as ever: “I’m fine.”
Is he really fine?
Xiao Shu was suspicious in her heart.
She always felt that she had seen a truly terrifying side of Film Emperor Gu!
However, if the person one loves likes their older brother, while the older brother likes someone else and ignores the person they love; and if the person one secretly admires insists on running off to act like a sycophant for someone else, anyone would be unhappy, right?
This “quadrangle” love affair was truly quite dramatic!
After everyone’s solo interviews were finished, everyone gathered in the living room in the evening to play a small game to determine the allocation of the bedrooms for the night.
Director: “Due to Gu Minghe’s addition, the bedrooms must be reallocated. Also, in order to maintain a sense of novelty for everyone, bedrooms will be reallocated once every week from now on.”
“Since this week happens to be the last day of the first week, tonight’s game will determine who you will be sharing a room with next week.”
“There are currently four rooms in total: one single room, one triple room, and two double rooms. The small game we are going to play next is musical chairs.”
A total of seven chairs were placed in the living room, arranged in a circle.
When the music started, everyone walked in a circle around the chairs. When the music ended, they had to sit down quickly, and the person who didn’t grab a chair would be eliminated.
In the second round, one chair would be removed based on the number of people remaining.
And so on, until the final round.
“Based on the order of elimination, the person who wins until the end gets priority in choosing the room type and their roommate. The last person remaining just moves into whichever room still has a vacancy. That is the rule; does everyone understand?”
“Understood.”
Everyone nodded, and the game began.
As soon as the music sounded, everyone started circling.
Pei Huaiyue intentionally walked at the end of the line just to stay further away from Gu Minghe.
Because he was somewhat distracted, when the music ended, he nearly failed to react. The scene in front of him was chaotic; everyone was quickly grabbing chairs, and he was still standing there blankly.
Suddenly, a hand that didn’t know where it emerged from fiercely yanked him.
Pei Huaiyue was pulled over and sat down with a thump. By the time he snapped back to reality, he was already firmly seated on a chair.
And Gu Minghe was sitting right beside him, his large palm tightly interlaced with his fingers.
Pei Huaiyue, as if struck by electricity, hurriedly loosened his hand.
His face flushed with a faint red.
The person eliminated in the first round was the low-stamina geek, Shen Zhimian.
The second round continued.
This time, there were five chairs, and two people would be eliminated.
Pei Huaiyue was also not someone who exercised much; his body was weak, and he couldn’t compete with them at all. As soon as the music ended, he lunged toward a chair he had his eye on. However, Xia Mu suddenly bumped into him from the side, pushing him away with immense force.
Pei Huaiyue felt as if he were about to be sent flying, almost landing on his butt on the ground. At this moment, someone pulled him again.
This time, he didn’t land on the ground, but sat on a certain hard-as-rock thigh.
The instant his soft buttocks touched the thigh, he wanted to bounce off sensitively. However, the arm around his waist, as hard as iron, hugged him tightly. The lower halves of their bodies were pressed tightly together; Pei Huaiyue’s back was pressed against the hard chest behind him, and he seemed to be able to feel the heartbeats of the other party throbbing vigorously.
The warm, familiar scent was sprayed onto his fragile back of the neck, and Pei Huaiyue’s body trembled violently.
With his face flushed red, he wanted to get up and leave, but was pressed back down fiercely again.
“Mm, don’t.”
Pei Huaiyue pleaded in a low voice. His eyes were filled with dreamy, mist-like moisture, and his waist was incredibly soft.
A muffled groan simultaneously sounded from the man behind him.
“Good baby, don’t move, okay?”
Gu Minghe nibbled on Pei Huaiyue’s ear, whispering.
Feeling his change, Pei Huaiyue froze entirely. He sat there motionless, like a well-behaved, pretty doll at the mercy of others, though his cheeks were already a patch of crimson.
At the end of this round, Su Jin didn’t grab a chair.
And Pei Huaiyue, who hadn’t grabbed a chair either, had somehow ended up sitting on Gu Minghe’s lap.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at this scene.
“Pei Huaiyue, h-how can you sit on Film Emperor Gu’s lap??” Xia Mu was so angry he nearly died seeing this.
So you could play it like this too?
Had I known, I would have deliberately not grabbed a chair and gone specifically to sit on Gu Minghe’s lap!
Zhou Jingyuan’s expression also changed slightly.
How could Pei Huaiyue be so fickle? He clearly already had me, so why go off to flirt with Gu Minghe?
Gu Yanchen, on the other hand, hooked his lips into a smile, appearing completely accustomed to such a scene.
The livestream comments were also dumbfounded.
What’s the situation? I wasn’t looking carefully just now; why is Pei Huaiyue in Gu Minghe’s embrace again?
So Pei Huaiyue expressing that he didn’t like Gu Minghe during the date before was him playing hard to get? Otherwise, why would he be so proactive in throwing himself into his arms now!
No, does Pei Huaiyue like the older brother or the younger brother? Why was he chasing after Gu Yanchen before, and now his target has become Gu Minghe?
Gu Minghe is great! As long as he doesn’t keep ruining the Gu-Su young couple, I forgive him.
I have to say, this scene is actually quite ship-able!
Don’t you guys think Gu Minghe’s action of holding Pei Huaiyue is too practiced? And he feels like he’s holding him exceptionally tight!
Holy shit, the two of them are pressed so closely together; are they going to spark a fire down there?
It’s making my little face yellow [blushing from suggestive content] (shy)
Let me say this weakly: I think I saw Gu Minghe pull Pei Huaiyue into his arms just now. Don’t know if I saw it wrong; damn it, if only there was a replay!
The comments in the livestream room kept scrolling through, while Pei Huaiyue, feeling everyone’s gazes, was so ashamed he lowered his head and patted the back of Gu Minghe’s hand.
Only then was Gu Minghe willing to let him go.
Without the restraint, Pei Huaiyue bounced up quickly like a little spring and hid behind Su Jin on the opposite side.
The director realized what was happening and then said: “The other person eliminated is Pei Huaiyue.”
After two more rounds of musical chairs, Xia Mu, Zhou Jingyuan, and Jiang Leran were eliminated respectively. In the final showdown, only one chair remained.
Gu Minghe looked toward Gu Yanchen with eyes full of determination.
The real brothers are about to fight!
Wonder if the older brother will win, or the younger brother?
Go Gu Minghe!
Gu Minghe’s fans in the livestream room started cheering and shouting for him.
Finally, under Gu Minghe’s unstoppable impact, he won first place in this little musical chairs game!
Gu Minghe is trying so hard; I keep feeling that what he grabbed just now wasn’t a chair, but a person.
That gaze looks like he wants to tear Gu Yanchen to pieces. He didn’t care about brotherly love at all while grabbing it; so ruthless!
The older brother lost to the younger brother, but looking at Gu Yanchen’s expression, he seems to be smiling.
Gu Yanchen pursed his lips and patted Gu Minghe’s shoulder meaningfully, “Good luck, my dear younger brother.”
Gu Minghe’s face sank; it couldn’t have looked any uglier.
“C-Congratulations, Film Emperor Gu?” The director was also dumbfounded by this fierce struggle. No, it’s just grabbing a chair; no need to be this serious, right?
“Then, Film Emperor Gu can go ahead and choose the room type and roommate first. Which room would you like to choose?”
The director brought out a whiteboard with photos of the four room types, asking Gu Minghe to choose.
Gu Minghe chose the double room with the ocean view.
That room had an excellent view and also had a large floor-to-ceiling window; it was spacious, bright, and could be said to be the best of all the rooms.
It was originally occupied by Xia Mu and Shen Zhimian.
Seeing his room being picked away, Xia Mu’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but start fantasizing about Gu Minghe choosing him as a roommate.
“Then, Film Emperor Gu, who would you like to choose as your roommate?” the director asked.
Gu Minghe’s eyes swept across everyone present.
When Xia Mu met his gaze, he was so nervous that his heart was practically jumping to his throat.
Choose me, choose me.
He heard Gu Minghe’s steady, magnetic voice, carrying a light, shallow smile. His gaze traveled through the crowd and landed on Pei Huaiyue, who was hiding behind Su Jin, shrunk into a little quail.
“I choose Pei Huaiyue to be my roommate.”
Wh-What?
As soon as the choice was made, everyone was stunned.
The livestream comments were also dumbfounded and started scrolling crazily.
Is Gu Minghe going to sacrifice himself for the greater good? Decided to sacrifice himself to stop Pei Huaiyue from ruining the relationship between his brother and sister-in-law?
Well done! Now Pei Huaiyue is finally not sharing a room with Gu and Su! This super lightbulb has finally left!
Worthy of being his real younger brother; Gu Yanchen signifies he hasn’t been spoiled in vain.
Pei Huaiyue is miserable; don’t know how cruelly he’ll be treated by Gu Minghe. That small body of Pei Huaiyue’s probably can’t withstand it, right? (Sneaky laugh)
After the shock, the netizens in the livestream room quickly found reasons for Gu Minghe’s choice, and everything became reasonable!
Pei Huaiyue, however, said in a small voice: “Can I refuse?”
Gu Minghe’s gaze sharpened; his complexion tightened instantly, his hands subconsciously clenching into fists. It wasn’t until he heard the director refuse that his expression softened slightly.
“Sorry, you cannot, because you were eliminated from the game early on, so you can only follow the arrangements of the winner.”
“Alright then.”
Pei Huaiyue agreed hesitantly.
He had spent the day with Gu Minghe today and didn’t see anything unexpected happen, so there shouldn’t be any problems for the time being, right?
He would try his best to change it next time they switched dorms, he thought.
At night, in the ocean-view double room on the second floor.
Pei Huaiyue sat cross-legged on his bed, his fingers nervously picking at his fingernails.
Splashing water sounds came from the bathroom; Gu Minghe was taking a shower inside right now.
Listening to this sound, Pei Huaiyue was somewhat distracted. He hadn’t done that with Gu Minghe for a whole month. When he hadn’t seen the person, he hadn’t missed him that much, but after spending the day with Gu Minghe and being held twice, that familiar feeling of dryness and heat in his body came roaring back.
He lifted the quilt and buried himself inside, reciting the “Heart-Clearing Mantra” incessantly.
Calm down, calm down, Pei Huaiyue, you have already divorced your hubby; you no longer have the qualification to do that kind of thing with him.
Pei Huaiyue muttered, feeling incredibly aggrieved in his heart.
He wished he could tell Gu Minghe to stop showering and hurry out to hold him.
As if sensing his call, the sound of the shower stopped.
He heard Gu Minghe’s magnetic, reverberating voice coming from the bathroom: “Pei Huaiyue, can you help me get my underwear from the bedside table?”
