"do you like me?"
Gu Qimu did not answer Shen Ye's question, but stared intently into his eyes, as if trying to bore a hole through him.
Shen Ye changed her approach, "Then do you hate me?"
"I hate it, I hate it to the extreme."
Gu Qimu spoke calmly, hating that Shen Ye had silently taken over his heart, and hating that Shen Ye liked Gu Qichen.
"What do you dislike about me? I'll change!"
Shen Ye straightened up, his eyes filled with sorrow.
That's enough, he's had enough!
He needed to finish his mission as soon as possible so he could move on to the next world; he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Because I feel uncomfortable.
"I hate you, you woman..."
Shen Ye assumed that Gu Qimu disliked the fact that he was a woman, so she interrupted him and spoke first, "I'm a man!"
Gu Qimu's expression changed instantly, somewhat incredulous, yet also somewhat as if he had expected it.
“I’m a man. I’ve been lying to you all this time because a fortune teller said that if I wasn’t raised like a girl, I would die young. That’s why my father kept me hidden away. I didn’t dare tell you because I was afraid.” Shen Ye lowered his head, took a deep breath, and continued.
“I’m afraid you’ll take your anger out on my family, and I’m afraid you’ll treat me badly if you find out, so I’m afraid to tell you, and that’s why I’m keeping it from you.”
After speaking, he raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and looked at Gu Qimu. His pitiful appearance was clearly seen by Gu Qimu.
After a long, long time.
Gu Qimu moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing and turned to leave.
Why did Gu Qimu's unfathomable eyes and lonely figure make him feel so uncomfortable?
Is something growing quietly and gradually?
The meal was unpleasant. Shen Ye returned to her dormitory, her body swaying as she walked to the bedside, her hands trembling with heartache.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Qiu Ci came over and helped Shen Ye lie down on the bed.
Shen Ye forced a smile and looked at Qiu Ci, "It's nothing, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Qiu Ci wanted to say something more, but Shen Ye had already closed his eyes.
This task is impossible to complete, and Shen Ye seems to have lost his mind.
Perhaps today will be the last time he meets Gu Qimu, and there will never be another.
Right now, all he wants is to leave this place as soon as possible and go to the next world...
Because at that moment, he was as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the street for people to admire, which was so disgusting.
It's been three days, a full three days.
According to Qiu Ci, Gu Qimu has not attended the morning court for the past three days, nor has he reviewed any memorials. Instead, he has locked himself in the Qianluan Palace, refusing to see anyone or eat or drink anything.
The words "not a drop of water" struck Shen Ye's heart hard.
He wanted to go see Gu Qimu, but then he thought that Gu Qimu was the last person he wanted to see right now, so going there would only make things worse.
He smiled, dismissed Qiu Ci, and pulled the covers over his head to go to sleep.
Before I die, I want to be a ghost who has had enough sleep, so I don't want to be trapped and beheaded!
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he woke up, the world outside was a withered blue.
Through the window, he saw a beam of light suddenly burst forth in the eastern sky. That beam of light transformed into an arrow that cut through the darkness, making the withered blue world even bluer and brighter.
Facing the world shrouded in multiple shades of blue, Shen Ye simply gazed at it quietly. The wind swept up the withered leaves, carrying away the boy's drowsiness.
Shen Ye sat up, only to find that there was someone next to him at some point.
