The location was rather awkward. Ye Qingyun reached out and touched it. The tattooed area didn't hurt or itch, but it felt slightly warm when he touched it.
Ye Qingyun was not happy. If she found a boyfriend in the future, and the two of them got along well enough to have some intimate contact, her boyfriend would see her and think, "Who is it? They actually got a tattoo on me here! And they even called me their first love, what a liar, what a jerk!"
No, he has to find a way to remove this tattoo.
Just as Ye Qingyun was having a headache, a voice sounded in her mind: [Host! The final discussion results regarding you are in!]
Ye Qingyun: [What is it?]
System: [Our research has revealed that due to the original story's poor ending, there are many illogical points. This world is the real world, and characters' actions wouldn't be so illogical, leading to discrepancies with reality. This isn't your fault. We've decided to assign you another body, and this body, used as cannon fodder, will die. Your mission will end, and you can live a free life in your new body. Do you accept this?]
Ye Qingyun was quite satisfied with this arrangement and agreed to the outcome. The system then asked: [To avoid any regrets, we will give you some time to handle the miscellaneous matters concerning this body. How much time do you need?]
Ye Qingyun originally wanted to say that there was nothing to be done and that the sooner he could get a new body, the better. But before she could say that, Gu Chenyuan's face flashed through her mind.
Gu Chenyuan went through all that trouble to save him and followed him around, probably hoping to learn something from him.
To leave someone who risked their life to save him, who followed him despite ridicule, simply because of their thirst for knowledge, is far too heartless.
Ye Qingyun thought for a moment and said to the system: "Give me three months."
Given Gu Chenyuan's intelligence, three months would be more than enough time for him to learn everything he wanted to learn, and then he could leave with peace of mind.
Okay, your request has been accepted. Your body will die in three months. Please prepare accordingly.

Gu Chenyuan's eyes darkened slightly as he listened to the noises Ye Qingyun made while rummaging around in the other rooms.
I wonder what Ye Qingyun's reaction will be when she sees the tattoo?
...What would that tattoo look like, and where would it be located?
Gu Chenyuan knew that Ye Qingyun probably had a tattoo, but he didn't know the exact location because tattoos are not fixed and are different from generation to generation.
Perhaps Ye Qingyun's tattoo will grow on his shoulder, on his waist, or on his ankle. I wonder if he will ever be able to see the whole thing.
Although Ye Qingyun doesn't like him now, he has a lifetime to slowly win her over. He only hopes that one day he can kiss that tattoo, and kiss the skin beneath it.

Ye Qingyun felt that this planet was not safe, and he didn't know when the boy who had forcibly taken him away to marry would reappear. It would be better to leave as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Gu Chenyuan's body has almost recovered and he no longer needs to rest, so they can leave directly.
Ye Qingyun shared his idea with Gu Chenyuan, and the two of them added new energy to the spacecraft they had come from, then boarded the spacecraft and left the planet.
On the way, Ye Qingyun asked, "What exactly do you want to learn by following me?"
Gu Chenyuan didn't answer immediately. He remained silent for a while before replying, "I want to learn anything you can teach me."
This was a romantic line that Gu Chenyuan, with his taciturn nature, had finally come up with. He looked at Ye Qingyun with anticipation, waiting for her response.
Ye Qingyun: "?"
Isn't that nonsense?
He spends his whole life researching new things. Can Gu Chenyuan learn from him for a lifetime?
Actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to change his identity and pretend to be a close friend online to teach Gu Chenyuan things, but this body will be gone in three months.
Ye Qingyun said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me what you want to learn. I'll only teach you for three months. After three months, we'll break up. You go your way, and I'll go mine."
Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes.
Ye Qingyun wanted to leave, which he had expected, but he would never let Ye Qingyun leave.
He would do his best to do whatever Ye Qingyun wanted him to do, except for this one thing.
He will follow him for the rest of his life.
Ye Qingyun kept emphasizing the timeframe: "There are only three months left. Make your choice quickly, and I'll be..."
Ye Qingyun wanted to say that he would leave in three months, but Gu Chenyuan turned his head and glanced at him. Although he didn't say a word, Ye Qingyun could tell from that glance that Gu Chenyuan would definitely not let him go easily.
Just like now, wherever he goes, Gu Chenyuan follows. He might even have to put on a death scene for Gu Chenyuan.
This won't do. He needs to give Gu Chenyuan a sense of urgency, to let him know that time is running out and he can't teach him slowly.
Ye Qingyun rubbed her temples and made up an excuse: "After three months, don't follow me anymore. I'm already fed up with you enough. I'm going to find Pu Tian. If I can't find him..." Ye Qingyun looked at the shimmering nebula outside the window and said, word by word, "If I can't find him, I don't want to live anymore. So don't tell me you're just spouting empty platitudes and learning everything. Tell me your true thoughts, and I'll treat it as doing charity before I die..."
Ye Qingyun was looking out the window, so he didn't know that Gu Chenyuan's face immediately turned cold after he said those words.
He had always known that Ye Qingyun liked Pu Tian, but he never expected that Ye Qingyun liked him to this extent.
Gu Chenyuan looked at Ye Qingyun's exposed, snow-white nape. Her neck was slender and long, and looked very delicate.
Gu Chenyuan was never a sunny and cheerful person. On the contrary, due to the dark side he encountered during his upbringing, his methods of doing things could even be described as cruel.
In that instant, many methods flashed through Gu Chenyuan's mind to imprison Ye Qingyun in a place where she could only see him, until Ye Qingyun became dependent on him.
Alternatively, erase Ye Qingyun's memory, make her forget Pu Tian, and ensure that she never mentions other men in front of him again.
He knew that treating Ye Qingyun this way would obviously cause him greater backlash, but he didn't care.
These thoughts raced through her mind until Ye Qingyun sensed something was amiss, turned her head, and met Gu Chenyuan's gaze.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ye Qingyun asked.
Those warm-colored eyes held a barely perceptible worry, like a ray of sunshine that dispelled the darkness in Gu Chenyuan's heart.
"Don't die for him, it's not worth it," Gu Chenyuan said softly. "I'll take you... I'll take you to clear your head."
——————
Two days later, standing on the most famous dating planet for couples in the entire galaxy, Ye Qingyun was devastated.
Where did Gu Chenyuan bring him to relax?
Look at all those couples, doesn't Gu Chenyuan feel that they look out of place standing here?
He was so stupid. He only knew that Gu Chenyuan was a perpetually single iceberg, but he never expected that Gu Chenyuan didn't have the idea that single people shouldn't come to couples' dating spots.
A little girl ran up to them with a bouquet of roses, looked at Gu Chenyuan, then at Ye Qingyun, and finally said sweetly to Gu Chenyuan, "Brother, look how handsome he is! Give him a flower!"
Ye Qingyun: "..."
Little friend, you've got the wrong person. The cold-hearted protagonist won't buy flowers.
Gu Chenyuan lowered his head, picked out the largest and reddest rose, and placed it in Ye Qingyun's hand.
Gu Chenyuan: "It looks good."
Ye Qingyun: "?"
