Chapter 135: Doing Push-Ups

Changing his Weibo name to Shen Xu would tie him to this name for life. Wherever he went, everyone would forget his real name and only call him Shen Xu!

Posting on Weibo would force him to admit to kidney deficiency, branding him with a lifetime of shame.

Either option was a dead end!

Shen Mingxuan glared angrily at Jiang Mi. As his fiancée, how could she insult him so? What benefit could it possibly be for her?

Furious beyond measure, Shen Mingxuan forgot about the plan he had made with Bai Ruoruo. All he could think was that he must avoid both changing his name and posting on Weibo—he absolutely could not do either, or he would be ruined!

He was about to shout about their arranged marriage to threaten Jiang Mi, but when he met Gu Chuan’s cold, piercing gaze, Shen Mingxuan’s mouth fell open, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak a word.

From the moment he learned of Gu Chuan’s true identity, he had feared him.

He feared Gu Chuan’s power and prestige and envied his position at the top of the hierarchy.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Mingxuan silently reminded himself to wait two more days. He would use Jiang Mi to regain the cooperation with FGH and become the head of the Shen family.

Once he had enough power, he would make those who humiliated him today pay!

After a self-brainwashing session, Shen Mingxuan took out his phone to post on Weibo and sent a message to his management team, demanding that they do whatever it took to prevent the term “kidney deficiency” from trending.

But almost as soon as he posted, the hashtag #ShenMingxuanKidneyDeficiency# skyrocketed to the top of the trending list!

No matter how much Shen Mingxuan’s team spent trying to remove the trending topic, it remained firmly at the top, publicly declaring Shen Mingxuan’s kidney deficiency to everyone.

The dating show audience went wild, expertly explaining the origins of “Shen Mingxuan Kidney Deficiency” and making comparison videos between Shen Mingxuan and Jiang Mi’s push-ups.

The comparison showed just how weak Shen Mingxuan truly was.

While Jiang Mi’s push-up form was flawless and error-free, Shen Mingxuan’s form was poor. He could barely complete a full push-up and quickly became exhausted.

Soon, a video surfaced showing Shen Mingxuan’s derogatory remarks about women.

The onlookers were even less pleased. How could someone with kidney deficiency look down on others?

[A man with kidney deficiency has the audacity to say such things? Really a laughingstock.]

[Shen Xu really has no self-awareness. How could he be so out of touch with reality!]

[I once felt pity for him being mocked for kidney deficiency, but now, ha, he really deserves it.]

[Ladies, here’s the real fun: Someone revealed that Shen Xu was on drugs before the competition, the kind of drugs you know.]

[Wow, he couldn’t even do a few push-ups despite being on drugs. Without them, he’d probably collapse right there.]

[In comparison, the other male guests performed quite well. At least they’re real men, but of course, Mimi is the coolest and the best!]

At this moment, Shen Mingxuan, scrolling through Weibo and seeing endless mockery, felt his vision darken and fainted.

Fortunately, there was a professional private doctor on the island who quickly revived Shen Mingxuan.

Jiang Mi didn’t forget to add a touch of comfort.

“I didn’t realize you were so weak. It’s just a few push-ups; I didn’t expect you to faint from weakness. Hmph.”

Her prolonged sigh of mockery made Shen Mingxuan almost choke with anger and faint again.

Jiang Mi was quite pleased with herself and was about to mock him further when Gu Chuan suddenly grabbed her wrist. The next moment, his deep, magnetic voice said, “Let’s go. Lie down under me.”

Jiang Mi’s face flushed, and she couldn’t help but respond, “Speak normally.”

Gu Chuan looked at her with deep eyes, “Darling, lie down under me, and only look at me.”

Jiang Mi was taken aback, slowly realizing that Gu Chuan seemed to be upset again, probably because of Shen Mingxuan.

Jiang Mi quickly said, “Don’t be angry because of someone like Shen Mingxuan. He’s not even worth comparing to you.”

Gu Chuan stopped, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Mi.

He understood Jiang Mi’s intent to deal with the scum, but seeing her gaze lingering on Shen Mingxuan, even with disgust and ridicule, made him unhappy. He wanted her eyes to be on him alone.

Suddenly immersed in Gu Chuan’s deep, dark gaze.

“I, I…”

“Lie down.”

Jiang Mi tilted her head and saw that the production team had already laid out the yoga mats, and the other guests were in their positions.

With a slight press of her lips, Jiang Mi obediently lay down on the mat. Gu Chuan also positioned himself above her, supporting himself with his arms.

With his broad shoulders and long legs, Gu Chuan’s strong and powerful physique completely enveloped her.

When lying flat, there is already a lack of security.

Adding to that was Gu Chuan’s strikingly handsome and cold appearance, his entire presence exuding a formidable pressure.

Being fully exposed beneath a man in this manner made Jiang Mi tense up, her body’s instinctive defenses rising only to fall again.

If it were Gu Chuan, she knew he wouldn’t hurt her.

She was also willing to let him do as he pleased.

Jiang Mi looked up at Gu Chuan with soft eyes, her red lips slightly parted, and said in a coquettish tone, “Brother, don’t be mad at me.”

[Oh my gosh, this is amazing. Mimi’s figure is really great.]

[Even lying down, her curves are so prominent. What a lucky guy Gu Chuan is!]

[Gu Chuan’s shoulders are broad, covering Mimi entirely beneath him. The contrast is just stunning!]

[Even though they haven’t said a word or done anything, it feels like a dramatic battle just from their presence. They’re both so impressive!]

[Cough, yes, they’re both quite impressive.]

[No wonder Gu Chuan let Mimi enjoy herself in the first round. Now he’s got her beneath him. Such cunning, that’s my Gu Chuan!]

[After seeing Gu Chuan and Mimi’s hormone-filled position, other pairs seem like kids playing house in comparison.]

At this moment, in other groups, tall male guests lay flat while petite female guests tensed up, trying to avoid any unnecessary contact.

It definitely felt less impactful.

Soon, the cameras were all set, and with the director’s whistle, the second round of the push-up competition officially began.

Gu Chuan’s muscles tensed, his entire body like a straight sword. His arm muscles bulged and bent as he lowered himself.

Gu Chuan’s push-up form was particularly standard, his movements precise, and he habitually pushed down until his chest was level with the ground.

But now, lying beneath him was his girl, who occasionally touched…

Soft.

And it seemed to carry a faint fragrance.

Jiang Mi bit her lip tightly, her peach blossom eyes wide with nervousness as she looked up at Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan’s muscles tightened even more, becoming firmer and hotter.

He exhaled softly, his arms pushing up, for the first time in his life, he only managed half a push-up.

As his body lifted, Jiang Mi relaxed a bit, but within seconds, he pressed down again.

The repeated, almost imperceptible touches were more tantalizing.

Jiang Mi gazed up at the man above her doing push-ups, his face handsome and stern, his lips slightly pursed, his nose high. A bead of sweat slid down his forehead.

He was enduring, yet incredibly attractive.

Jiang Mi’s heart raced.

“Brother, press down a bit more, and I’ll tell you a secret,” Jiang Mi licked her lips, her voice soft and small.

Gu Chuan looked at Jiang Mi, his throat producing a hoarse and seductive voice, “Hmm?”

That voice was too alluring.

Her heart raced faster.

Finally, as Gu Chuan pressed down once more, Jiang Mi lifted her head slightly, moving closer, her voice soft and sweet, mixed with pure, joyful affection.

“I really like you.”

Suddenly, Gu Chuan’s arms gave way, and with a thud, his body uncontrollably fell down.

Their lips met in an intimate touch.
