Ye Qingyun looked up and around. The sudden darkness seemed to be just his illusion. Everything was bright and there were no dark clouds outside the window. Everything was peaceful.
Even though no one was around, Ye Qingyun felt for some reason as if he had been suddenly discovered. He used his spiritual power to scan the room, but found no surveillance equipment, which relieved him somewhat.
As for the book, Ye Qingyun stuffed it back into the corner, intending to pretend he hadn't seen anything. He also needed to speed up his search for a way out, otherwise, if the boy discovered he knew this secret, he might face death.
Why.
Ye Qingyun sighed, inevitably thinking of Gu Chenyuan.
What is Gu Chenyuan doing? Is he worried about his safety? Is he searching everywhere for him, trying to bring him back?
Forget it, to Gu Chenyuan, he's not even a friend. He's probably just a walking encyclopedia. There's no need for him to try to save him when he's still injured.
Having clarified her position in Gu Chenyuan's heart, Ye Qingyun then buried herself in searching for the necessary tools and materials once again.
There's no use in being anxious. We might as well hurry up and make an antidote for the venom. Maybe we'll actually be able to use it someday.
In a corner unnoticed by Ye Qingyun, a black shadow that shouldn't have been there, reflected on the ground, twisted a few times, slowly dissipated, and disappeared without a trace.
——————
It was a place far away from where Ye Qingyun was.
Gu Chenyuan opened his dark eyes, and as he moved, the black mist that had been surrounding him and almost blotted out the sky dissipated, revealing the clear sky.
He finally found Ye Qingyun.
Without delay, Gu Chenyuan quickly set off for Ye Qingyun's location.
Gu Chenyuan's movements were unusually urgent; he recalled what he had "seen."
In fact, when Ye Qingyun took out that piece of paper, he had already discovered Ye Qingyun, and the black mist had also read through the contents of the paper and relayed them to him.
Gu Chenyuan never expected that the one who kidnapped Ye Qingyun was the so-called "god," and he never expected that the bloodline defect of that "god" would be so tempting to ordinary people.
If you can make "God" fall in love with you again, then no matter how weak your body was before, you can have enormous power. This prize is simply irresistible, and you can't bear not to try it.
Ye Qingyun is an ordinary person without any special abilities, so he is very likely to choose to stay and try to make "God" fall in love with him twice in order to gain power.
Gu Chenyuan pressed his chest uncomfortably as he considered this possibility, and his eyes turned cold.
When Gu Chenyuan saw that page, he realized that the bloodline defect of that "god" was actually similar to his own bloodline defect.
If that "god" falls in love with the same person twice, he will lose his power and hand it over to her.
If he falls in love with someone, he must remain faithful to that person until the end. He cannot escape or betray them. He may end up as a killing machine, a stepping stone for his lover to climb to a higher position, and become a complete tool.
Both he and that person can be manipulated. If Ye Qingyun chooses to exploit that "god" this time, then obviously, if Ye Qingyun discovers his physique one day, he is also very likely to exploit him.
Gu Chenyuan's eyes were obscure, yet he continued walking, his figure moving like smoke and wind towards his destination.
What does that have to do with him? If Ye Qingyun really makes that choice this time, then he can use forceful means to compel Ye Qingyun to help him complete the potion, and then leave.
As for those unrealistic fantasies that we once had, they should all disappear.
——————
Ye Qingyun painstakingly dug out the necessary equipment and was conducting research on the venom when the door suddenly opened and the young man strolled in.
"It's getting dark, let's go get something to eat, don't let yourself get sick from hunger," the boy said considerately.
Although Ye Qingyun is currently harboring a big secret about the boy and wishes she could stay 800 meters away from him, she is completely powerless against the idea of having a good meal.
Most importantly, the food at the boy's house was incredibly delicious, a stark contrast to his previous life of taking nutritional supplements every meal.
Ye Qingyun followed the boy to the restaurant, trying to find a reason for himself. This was a legitimate way to make contact, so as not to arouse the boy's suspicion about his sudden change in attitude, and it was definitely not because he was tempted by the food.
Ye Qingyun was eating when she suddenly heard the boy speak.
"I'm sure you've heard in the village that I only favor one person for ten years. When they get old, I'll replace them with another." The young man propped his chin up, looking at Ye Qingyun with bright eyes and a smile on his red lips. "Darling, are you the kind of person who gets jealous easily? Will you stop me from finding someone new? Of course, even if someone new comes, I won't let you get less of your treasures. Don't worry."
If Ye Qingyun says she won't stop him, then it means that Ye Qingyun has been frightened by that piece of paper, has given up any inappropriate thoughts, and will not try to make him fall in love with her twice. She can stay.
The boy smiled and waited for Ye Qingyun's answer. He seemed harmless on the surface, but he knew that if the answer was not what he wanted, Ye Qingyun would be decapitated in the next second.
Ye Qingyun was speechless upon hearing this scumbag's declaration.
This guy, since he has to find a new partner every ten years, his existence isn't that important. It's not like it was love at first sight, so why can't we just let him go?
So Ye Qingyun tried to say it tactfully: "I'm quite jealous, and I hope to be with my partner for a long time without any outside interference."
The smile on the boy's face faded, and a thin layer of supernatural power gathered at his fingertips.
It's a pity. He really liked this face. How could the owner of this face be so greedy?
"So you should just let me go. We're not a good match," Ye Qingyun pleaded.
The boy was stunned.
"What did you say?" the boy said in disbelief. "You're leaving now?"
Ye Qingyun was even more confused: "Didn't I tell you from the beginning that I wanted to leave?"
The boy knew, of course, that Ye Qingyun had always wanted to leave, but...
"Didn't you see all that gold and silver jewelry in that room? Just take one item, and you'll be able to live comfortably for the rest of your life!" the boy asked.
Ye Qingyun didn't know his financial resources before, so it's normal for her to want to leave, and he can understand that.
Despite seeing so much gold and silver jewelry, the comfortable lifestyle here, and his good looks, Ye Qingyun still couldn't bring herself to stay.
He no longer remembers how long he has lived or how many partners he has had, but he has never been rejected at this stage.
The boy glared angrily at Ye Qingyun, waiting for his reply.
It's best not to let him realize that you're playing hard to get, otherwise...
Ye Qingyun had no idea what the young man was thinking, but she was curious about the gold and silver jewelry he mentioned.
What gold and silver jewelry... is the garbage piled up in that room gold and silver jewelry?
Ye Qingyun felt suffocated just thinking about that pile of dusty junk.
At that time, he was focused on finding research equipment and didn't really pay attention to what those colorful things were. If they weren't equipment, he just threw them aside.
"Speak!" the boy snapped. "Why don't you want to stay? Stop using that unsuccessful relationship as an excuse!"
Ye Qingyun paused, and this time she didn't bring up Gu Chenyuan again, but said cautiously, "Your technology here is too backward."
Boy: "...What?"
"Without even internet, how are people supposed to live?" Ye Qingyun complained. "Can gold and silver jewelry compare to the fragrance of internet?"
Ye Qingyun's answer surprised the boy, who was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Ye Qingyun continued, "I can't appreciate these gold and silver jewels. I'm just a teenager addicted to the internet. Wouldn't it be better to find someone who can appreciate them?"
The boy remained silent.
Ye Qingyun continued, "And your peerless beauty, it would be such a waste for a rough old man like me to stare at it for ten years. Wouldn't you be happier to find someone who knows how to flatter you?"
The boy moved.
He straightened up and gave Ye Qingyun a sinister smile: "I won't let you go, so give up on that idea."
If you dare to refuse him, be prepared to stay by his side for the rest of your life!
————
That night, before going to sleep, Ye Qingyun chatted with the system, which said that many of the melodramatic beginnings it had seen were like this.
Unmoved by money, the pure and innocent young woman unhesitatingly rejected the older man's offer to keep her, stating that she was not someone who would sell herself for a little money. What she wanted was a simple life with the person she loved, a lifelong commitment.
Older man: Heh, very good, you've successfully caught my attention!
The older man forcibly kept the innocent girl by his side, but little did he know that he, who had sworn never to develop real feelings, would be captivated by her pure and innocent heart during their time together...
Ye Qingyun: "..."
Ye Qingyun said expressionlessly, "Your brain isn't working anymore. You should probably get rid of the data-driven thinking."
System: [QAQ]
Ye Qingyun: [Have you been too free lately? What's the final result of your meeting? Has it been discussed yet?]
The system replied, sounding aggrieved: "No, no, the main system told you to do whatever you want first, just don't break character too much in front of the protagonist."
Ye Qingyun snorted coldly and pulled the blanket over herself.
He couldn't just sit and wait to die. He had found enough parts in that room before. Given some time, he might be able to make something that would help him escape.
Once he gets out, he'll go find Gu Chenyuan and then leave this planet.
——————
The night was deep and all was quiet.
A wisp of black mist seeped into the room through the crack in the door, and then slowly condensed into a human shape.
If Ye Qingyun were still awake at this moment, she would have discovered that the wisp of black mist had transformed into Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan walked silently to Ye Qingyun's bedside and looked down at Ye Qingyun's sleeping face.
Ye Qingyun seemed to be sleeping restlessly, his brows were slightly furrowed, making one want to smooth away the worry between his brows.
Gu Chenyuan neither spoke to wake Ye Qingyun nor took her away directly, but simply watched in silence.
The fact that Ye Qingyun didn't share a room with that person brought him some relief, but it couldn't completely eliminate the anxiety in his heart.
If he takes Ye Qingyun away directly, will Ye Qingyun blame him for ruining his plan after she wakes up, and then harbor resentment?
Would Ye Qingyun want to stay here, seduce that man, and gain power, instead of leaving with him, a man who "has nothing"?
...This seems to be taken for granted.
Why should Ye Qingyun go with him?
Gu Chenyuan watched silently until Ye Qingyun turned over, her hand hitting his leg that was standing by the bed, and her eyes slowly opened.
Ye Qingyun didn't realize anything was wrong at first. He changed his sleeping position and lay flat on the bed, and then he saw a blurry black figure standing by the bed.
Ye Qingyun was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He sat up abruptly, and just as he was about to shout, the dark figure covered his mouth.
The hand covering his mouth was slightly cool, carrying his familiar scent.
It is Gu Chenyuan.
This person has a natural ability to give people a sense of security. Ye Qingyun's tense body relaxed, and he grabbed Gu Chenyuan's wrist, signaling Gu Chenyuan to let go.
Gu Chenyuan did not immediately let go. He stared intently at Ye Qingyun for a moment before slowly lowering his hand.
"How did you get here? Did you find your way in?" Ye Qingyun whispered. "Quick, let's go!"
Ye Qingyun quietly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and then quickly headed towards the door.
Ye Qingyun took a few steps and realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw that Gu Chenyuan was still standing in the same spot.
The night was so dark that it was impossible to see the expression on Gu Chenyuan's face.
"Are you willing to come with me?" Gu Chenyuan's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of shattering some beautiful dream.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What are you going to do if you don't leave?" Ye Qingyun asked, bewildered.
Gu Chenyuan did not answer. In the darkness where no one could see, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smile that could be described as gentle.
