After Gu Chenyuan stepped off the stage, the entire audience fell silent once again.

The people standing behind Ye Qingyun were trembling like leaves. They knew what they were about to face and that pleading with Gu Chenyuan would be of no use.

In this situation, the only way out is to ask Gu Chenyuan's lover for help.

They frantically tried to tug at Ye Qingyun's clothes, pleading, "We didn't mean it, we were just momentarily bewitched! Please, please, please make him let us go!"

Ye Qingyun did not turn around, nor did she feel her clothes being touched. The pleading behind her quickly disappeared, leaving only silence.

Ye Qingyun said nothing, smiled and chatted with Gu Chenyuan for a while, then watched Gu Chenyuan go to participate in the second round of the competition.

In fact, the outcome of this match was already obvious. After Gu Chenyuan's opponent learned who he was, he was so frightened that he fainted on the spot. After being rescued, he was still in a daze until Gu Chenyuan said that it was just a friendly spar and that it would not be life-threatening, which made him regain his composure.

Ye Qingyun thought the trip would end smoothly and perfectly, but unexpectedly, when Gu Chenyuan went on stage again and he was left alone below, the young man sitting in front of him turned around and looked at him with a hesitant expression, but his eyes flashed with a hint of calculation and jealousy that he could not hide.

Ye Qingyun frowned, about to ignore the person, when she heard the person say in a very low voice, "Ye Qingyun, you're still alive? You're...you're with that person now?"

Ye Qingyun keenly sensed something was amiss. This person definitely knew him from before, and judging from the person's tone, it seemed that his being with Gu Chenyuan was an incredibly unbelievable thing.

Although he also thought it was incredible that he could be with Gu Chenyuan, the incredibleness of this person was definitely not the same as his.

Ye Qingyun said coldly, her expression unchanged, "What's it to you?"

"How can it be alright? Have you forgotten who I am? I am..."

The man dared not speak again. He opened the terminal on his wrist, chose an angle where Ye Qingyun could see it, and typed a few lines:

I was a crew member on the captain's ship! I was away when the whole crew was wiped out, so I escaped. I never expected you to survive too.

How did you end up with that person? Do you know that person is the murderer of our boss?!

That day, I pretended to be a passerby and witnessed what that man did! He cruelly murdered the boss and stole all his wealth; he's a beast!

If you don't believe me, I have a short video clip here to prove that what I'm saying is true!

"...You've liked the boss for so many years, don't you have any lingering feelings for him anymore?"

Ye Qingyun quickly skimmed through these paragraphs several times, her expression subtly shifting.

He had no idea what this person was talking about, but this person seemed to know him very well before he lost his memory.

Who is the boss? He has liked that boss for many years.

And Gu Chenyuan killed that boss?

He didn't know if the news was true or false, but he could tell that this person was trying to sow discord between him and Gu Chenyuan.

Ye Qingyun's expression made the crew member of Pu Tian secretly delighted, and he barely managed to keep his expression in check.

He hadn't expected Ye Qingyun to survive that massacre; presumably, like him, she had been away at that time and escaped unscathed.

What he didn't expect was that Ye Qingyun was actually with Gu Chenyuan! Back then, Ye Qingyun hated Gu Chenyuan so much that she felt disgusted even looking at him!

He didn't know how Ye Qingyun and Gu Chenyuan got together, but he knew his chance had come.

He hasn't had a good life since he got off the ship. He's always been incredibly unlucky, and he's tried all sorts of swindling and cheating, but he never succeeds, which has made him have less and less money.

This time, he teamed up with someone to pretend to be a couple, hoping to see if he could use his looks to seduce some young talents, but he never expected to encounter such a shocking news!

Now, as long as Ye Qingyun hears this news, she will definitely harbor resentment towards Gu Chenyuan. If he guides Ye Qingyun a little, she might be willing to provide information so that he will no longer be deceived into losing a large amount of his money.

Moreover, he did it so discreetly that as long as Ye Qingyun didn't reveal it, Gu Chenyuan wouldn't be able to find out that it was him who did it. Once he got the money, he would immediately run away!

He was so excited that he didn't even realize that Gu Chenyuan was already standing beside him, watching everything with a gloomy expression.

Ye Qingyun looked up and met Gu Chenyuan's gaze.

Gu Chenyuan concealed his true intentions very well; his dark eyes showed no emotion at first glance, but Ye Qingyun saw through his disguise at a glance.

Gu Chenyuan was uneasy, he was afraid. This unease pierced through all pretense, making it immediately apparent to him.

Ye Qingyun beckoned to Gu Chenyuan: "What are you doing standing there?"

Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes and slowly walked over. When he passed the person who had given Ye Qingyun the information, he slightly lifted his eyelids.

The man shuddered, his whole body turning ice-cold.

He's finished.

————

Every step Gu Chenyuan took felt like stepping on raging fire in the underworld.

Ye Qingyun understood.

What will Ye Qingyun think? Although she has amnesia, Ye Qingyun clearly still has a vague feeling about the past.

When Ye Qingyun heard about his killing of Pu Tian, ​​did she feel intense resentment towards him?

Will Ye Qingyun break up with him? Will she want to leave him?

He didn't know, and he dared not know.

Gu Chenyuan walked to Ye Qingyun's side, his whole body tense, waiting for Ye Qingyun's verdict.

He will not agree to break up; Ye Qingyun will never be able to leave him.

From now on, he will stay by Ye Qingyun's side every step of the way to prevent such things from happening, or... simply prevent Ye Qingyun from seeing anyone else.

His bloodline restraints were lifted, and Ye Qingyun certainly hoped that he would no longer suffer. However, he used this intact and flawless body to plot against Ye Qingyun and imprison her... How despicable and laughable.

Gu Chenyuan met Ye Qingyun's bright eyes, which were like a warm and gentle light that shone into his heart, leaving no place for the filth within him to hide.

Ye Qingyun grasped Gu Chenyuan's hand, squeezed it, and praised him, "You won again, that's amazing! Are you tired?"

Gu Chenyuan was taken aback, and several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

On the bright side, Qingyun completely forgot about Putian for some unknown reason.

Thinking the worst, Qingyun... was saving face for him in public, which is why she did that. She'll confront him when they get back.

Ye Qingyun sensed Gu Chenyuan's intense fear. He wanted to comfort Gu Chenyuan but also wanted to maintain Gu Chenyuan's image in the public eye so that others wouldn't think there was something wrong with their relationship. So he could only coax him first, "Chenyuan is really amazing. In my heart, the number one in the interstellar world is amazing. He will definitely win the championship!"

Seeing that Gu Chenyuan's expression was off, the gossipy crowd who had been eavesdropping were immediately stuffed with dog food, feeling bloated.

Those who doubt the relationship between such a handsome and good-looking couple are truly out of their minds!

Gu Chenyuan gave a stiff smile after hearing what Ye Qingyun said.

Qingyun's attitude... increasingly leaned towards the second option: save face for him in public, and then confront him later.

Even at this point, Qingyun... is still so kind.

Gu Chenyuan had no idea how he got through the rest of the time. He defeated all his opponents in a daze and once again won the Love Stone, the champion's reward.

Ye Qingyun stood beside him, smiling happily.

This time, given their status, the host didn't dare to make a fuss like last time. The presenter simply held the Love Stone with both hands and was about to give it to Gu Chenyuan.

Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes and did not answer.

The presenters and the host gradually stiffened. Ye Qingyun, unaware of what was happening, reached out and tugged at Gu Chenyuan's sleeve in a daze.

Gu Chenyuan suddenly spoke to the host: "I remember that to obtain the Stone of Love, one must go through a traditional rule. Why didn't you make that requirement this time?"

The host's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized what was going on.

The rule was that the prize would only be awarded after the winner and their partner kissed; otherwise, it wouldn't be given.

It turns out that Gu Chenyuan disliked them and didn't give him the chance to kiss!

Good heavens, the leader and his lover have such a good relationship, they don't miss any opportunity to be intimate.

The host, a single man himself, felt a pang of jealousy, but he still professionally read out his lines: "That's right, according to the rules, to receive our prize, you need to give your loved one a kiss to express your feelings! So—now, please welcome the winning couple to hug and kiss each other!"

After hearing this line, Ye Qingyun subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Chenyuan.

A kiss? So direct? He'd never kissed Gu Chenyuan before, he was a little nervous!

"Qingyun." Gu Chenyuan also looked over, his gaze fixed on Ye Qingyun's deep, dark eyes, as if trying to see into her heart, to know her true thoughts. "You're willing..."

Ye Qingyun quickly pinched Gu Chenyuan where no one could see him, stopping him from continuing.

What does it mean to ask "whether he is willing or not"? If you ask that question, people will think they are a fake couple!

Although we're not really a couple right now, we will be in the future!

Besides... did his face even show any sign of unwillingness? Clearly not!

Ye Qingyun closed her eyes.

Close your eyes and you're waiting for a kiss. Gu Chenyuan should know that, right?

如果不知道，他回去就揍顾沉渊一顿，给顾沉渊一次爱的教育。

"Light Clouds..."

Gu Chenyuan's eyes grew even deeper as he looked at Ye Qingyun's slightly flushed face and slowly moved forward.

A thick, black fog rose up, obscuring the view of everyone inside.

Gu Chenyuan kissed those lips he had longed for again, his eyes filled with madness.
