Chapter 2015: Wife Constantly Throws Herself Into His Arms 05

Happy times are always short.

Just as Qiao Yu woke up, he was hit with the news that his life points had only 7 hours left.

Opening his phone, he saw the hot search Xiao You had reminded him of; clicking on Weibo, he was again confronted with Tan Du's nauseating deep‑affection persona, making him almost vomit on the spot.

Tan Du v: (helpless laugh emoji)

The picture was a selfie taken on set, and by coincidence it captured the backs of Qiao Yu and Jin Chen talking.

Although he didn't directly respond to the breakup, the rumor that Qiao Yu was seeing two people at once was confirmed.

How could they take that photo, and why not put up a picture of him kissing Ning Tong instead!

Qiao Yu rolled around on the bed in anger.

Staying away from the protagonist is one thing, but letting him be Qiao Bawang is just not okay!

Qiao Yu quickly replied with a retweet: 'Thanks for being a proper ex' (manual bye‑bye).

Netizens waiting for Qiao Yu's jokes:???

Xixueka is actually this tough!

As everyone knows, a qualified ex equals dead.

Before the netizens could react, they saw Qiao Yu unfollow Tan Du and, the next second, follow Jin Chen.

A few minutes later, a new trending topic appeared: #QiaoYuCrazy

【Today's mission: hold hands with the mission target three times, each time lasting no less than fifteen seconds.】

【Extra mission: 1, complete a face‑hold kill with the mission target for an extra reward of 5 hours of life points; 2, get the mission target to follow back on Weibo for an extra reward of 5 hours of life points.】

Qiao Yu stared for a moment, picked up his phone to search what a face‑hold kill is.

After all, in his previous life he had only ever had a platonic romance lasting a few years, and he hadn't even held hands with that idiot Tan Du, let alone any couple's little games.

After reading, Qiao Yu sat up cross‑legged with a complex expression, his face slightly flushed.

【Are you a proper system?】

【I am a newly developed system from the Strategy Department, of course I'm proper.】

That's also not apparent.

Qiao Yu took a break, then picked up a mirror to find an angle, rubbing his face worriedly.

What if Jin Yingdi thinks he's not good‑looking and doesn't want to cooperate with the face‑hold kill?

So when Xiao You opened the door to deliver breakfast, the first thing he heard Qiao Yu say was: 'Do I look good?'

Xiao You suspected that between him and his older brother Qiao Ge, someone must be sleep‑deprived.

"Of course you're good‑looking—Qiao Ge's face is top‑notch in the whole entertainment industry!" Xiao You gave a thumbs‑up.

Qiao Yu's appearance is extraordinarily gorgeous and radiant, his skin white enough to shine through, his nose bridge high and straight but not overly sharp, his lips a gorgeous hue—after all, even the haters admit he's a bewitching tramp, a vase with nothing but his face.

Qiao Yu, however, rarely shows any Silence.

The system perhaps sensed something and spoke up on its own.

【Host doesn't need to care about the evaluation of being attacked by the protagonist in his past life; according to the system's analysis, he feels unworthy of you and repeatedly subjects you to PUA.】

It seemed as if another fog clouding his consciousness had been lifted.

Before he ever knew Tan Du, he was often praised by family and friends; up until yesterday, when Jin Chen smiled and said thank you, his expression.

Qiao Yu finally nodded, put aside that hint of fragility, and returned to his lively self.

"I understand."

Set.

The minor actors almost seemed to be watching a show, seeing Qiao Yu light‑footedly head to Jin Chen's dedicated makeup room.

"Has this person really changed?" Still, Zhang Zhou, who had mocked Qiao Yu yesterday, sneered: "Don't even look at what role you play—Jin Yingdi just refused to discuss the script with little Tong."

Ning Tong glanced over upon hearing that, about to speak up to persuade Qiao Yu, when the next second he saw Jin Chen's assistant usher Qiao Yu inside.

Ning Tong's face changed instantly, he gripped the script tightly, biting his lip without speaking, yet he seemed to have suffered a great injustice.

Zhang Zhou also hadn't expected this, being choked up and not knowing what to say.

On the contrary, Tan Du, who had changed from yesterday's irritability, anxiously looked at his phone, unable to figure out what Qiao Yu was trying to do.

He knows better than anyone that if they broke up, those easily obtainable resources would all go to waste.

The people in the makeup room couldn't know about the various hidden agendas outside.

The lighting was bright, Qiao Yu brought breakfast and placed it in front of Jin Chen, greeting cheerfully, "Good morning, Teacher Jin!"

Jin Chen looked at Qiao Yu through the mirror in front of him, curled his lips, and said, "Good morning, Xiao Qiao, just sit beside me."

One sentence left Xiao Qiao stunned for three seconds.

When did Jin Yingdi even learn that nickname!

The makeup artists were so shocked they glanced over, as if they'd just heard a huge scandal.

"Cough cough..." Qiao Yu found a chair to sit down, dispelled the inexplicable shyness in his eyes, opened the porridge, and said, "Today's is shredded meat porridge and vegetable sushi, absolutely no seafood."

Xiao Qiao's plan starts!

Qiao Yu took a deep breath, passed the spoon over, and when Jin Chen reached out to take it, he abruptly grabbed his hand.

The contrast between his bony‑jointed palm and Jin Chen's hand was obvious—his was more than one size larger.

Jin Chen lowered his gaze to the hand resting in his palm, gauged Qiao Yu's expression, and gently took hold.

Qiao Yu's head seemed to give a soft 'ding', and an invisible spark of delight lit up like stars.

"Teacher Jin, your hands look great." Qiao Yu smiled, even a bit fawning, but the overly sparkling eyes made him seem like he was being coquettish.

Jin Chen returned the gesture, pinching his soft fingertips, his voice laughing, "Your hands are also very nice."

Makeup artist: "……"

What kind of new‑era compliment style is this.

The sensation of fingertips being pressed and kneaded was wonderful, a bit more ambiguous than yesterday's accident, and Qiao Yu even felt a slight numbness in his waist, his long eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.

Xiao Qiao, keep going! There are still two more!

Qiao Yu pressed his lips, then grabbed Jin Chen's other hand, summoning his courage to interlock their fingers.

"You… your left hand is also handsome."

Jin Chen: "……"

Honey, what are you doing?

I don't understand, but I'll cooperate.

Qiao Yu maintained the hand-holding gesture, lowered his head, counted fifteen seconds, appearing dazed but actually feeling regret.

Why don't humans have three hands?

〖……〗

〖Please, Host, do not seek shortcuts. 〗

Qiao Yu anxiously wrinkled the tip of his nose, looked up at Jin Chen, and gently blinked his eyes, trying to convey some unspoken signals.

Jin Chen sensed something, pressing his fingers, asked: "Xiao Qiao, do you have something to say?"

Qiao Yu nodded, feeling a bit surprised.

Great chemistry!

Teacher Jin Chen's makeup today looks really good, especially handsome.

Now there's only time to apply a bit of isolator, makeup artist:?

He, seeing ghosts, looked at the mirror at Movie Emperor Jin Chen, thinking: "Did Qiao Yu come up with that line using his hands?"

Jin Chen let out a low laugh, continuing on Qiao Yu's topic: "Qiao Yu also looks great today."

Exactly, that's the answer!

Qiao Yu withdrew his right hand, his cheeks flushed with a hint of crimson, lowered his head and rested his chin on Jin Chen's palm, also tilting his head.

"Then look closely."
