After the kiss, the Stone of Love was handed to Gu Chenyuan.
The prize was made into the shape of a pendant, with a sparkling love stone hanging at the bottom, which was very eye-catching.
Gu Chenyuan could have simply handed the prize to Ye Qingyun, but he didn't. Instead, he put it in his own pocket.
After obtaining the Stone of Love, the event's reporting team also gave Ye Qingyun and her group a room key.
"This is one of the most popular couples' suites here," the host said with a knowing smile. "You'll love it."
Ye Qingyun felt extremely embarrassed. As soon as the event ended, he hurriedly left with Gu Chenyuan.
Ye Qingyun originally had no intention of sharing a room with Gu Chenyuan, but Gu Chenyuan strongly disagreed.
Gu Chenyuan calmly reasoned with Ye Qingyun: "We are under the spotlight right now, and it's very possible that someone will try to get me to agree to do something for them. It's not safe for you to live alone."
Recalling the strength Gu Chenyuan had displayed, Ye Qingyun had to admit that Gu Chenyuan was right. But…
"Don't you feel awkward sharing a room?" Ye Qingyun asked.
Gu Chenyuan's tone remained calm and even: "We're both men, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
It's true that we're all men, but it's inconvenient for men! Gu Chenyuan, who has been pursued by countless men, doesn't he realize that men also have big problems?
Ye Qingyun was actually still a little embarrassed to look at Gu Chenyuan, afraid that if she did, she would be reminded of that fleeting kiss from just now.
With Gu Chenyuan's good looks, when he gets close, he will have a great impact on people.
Ye Qingyun had always considered himself not to be a sucker for good looks, but when he looked directly at Gu Chenyuan's face up close, he was still tempted by his good looks for a moment.
He stared at the empty space beside Gu Chenyuan and gritted his teeth, saying, "I like men, so it's inconvenient for me. Do you understand?"
Gu Chenyuan: "It's fine, there are no inconveniences."
Upon hearing this answer, Ye Qingyun suddenly understood Gu Chenyuan's thoughts.
Because Gu Chenyuan dislikes men and is extremely powerful, she wasn't worried at all about what he might do to her, which is why she felt comfortable sharing a room with him. If it were a woman, Gu Chenyuan might have hesitated because of the gender difference.
Typical straight male thought process.
Ha, this is actually the protagonist of a novel!
Damn it, he actually thinks this line of thinking makes some sense!

When Ye Qingyun followed Gu Chenyuan to the couple's suite, he realized that he had been too naive.
Ye Qingyun had never paid attention to couple suites before. In his mind, a couple suite was just a room decorated in a romantic way, so even if two people who were not in a relationship stayed together, as long as they did not use those functions, there would be no problem at all.
But when Ye Qingyun was sitting quietly in the chair, he was suddenly bounced into Gu Chenyuan's arms as he approached, and he was completely dumbfounded.
If that were all, Ye Qingyun could tolerate it. But when he went to wash his hands, he was surprised to find that he wasn't wearing any clothes in the mirror.
Ye Qingyun was startled and subconsciously looked at Gu Chenyuan drinking water in the mirror.
Gu Chenyuan was standing far away, and his entire body was reflected in the mirror, just like Ye Qingyun.
"Change rooms." Ye Qingyun immediately pulled a bathrobe to cover the mirror and said through gritted teeth.
Gu Chenyuan seemed completely unaware that he had been taken advantage of, and quietly went to change rooms.
For some reason, Ye Qingyun always felt that Gu Chenyuan was in a low mood, as if he found running around troublesome.
Hmph, it's fortunate that he ran into him. If he had run into those people with bad intentions who secretly took a picture of Gu Chenyuan in the mirror and posted it on the StarNet, Gu Chenyuan would have been finished, and the whole story might have had to go from being all-ages to being rated 18+.
but……
These days, even the original protagonists in adult novels are this well-endowed?
————
The new room was a standard double suite, without any of the usual clutter, which relieved Ye Qingyun.
It was getting late, so she could wash up and go to sleep. Gu Chenyuan told Ye Qingyun to go wash up first, and Ye Qingyun didn't refuse, entering the bathroom first.
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes in a sullen mood.
He had noticed that the mirror in that room wasn't an ordinary mirror. But even though he knew what Ye Qingyun might see when he saw her go to wash her hands, he didn't move away.
Gu Chenyuan felt a little ashamed when he did this, but this shame turned into annoyance when he found that Ye Qingyun did not show any emotion other than surprise towards him.
He had always known that Ye Qingyun was noble and virtuous, and he had always liked this trait of hers.
But now his mindset is different. He wants to tarnish this purity and hopes that Ye Qingyun will have other thoughts when she faces him.
When will he be able to wait for that day?
————
After taking a shower, Ye Qingyun hesitated for a moment, turned her back to the mirror, and looked at the tattoo.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it! In just a few days, without anyone noticing, the tattoo has changed. Now it extends to both sides, encircling the two dimples on the lower back, forming a tender and ambiguous pattern.
Can this thing really grow on its own? That's incredible!
Ye Qingyun got dressed and left the bathroom. He turned on his terminal, wanting to find out what plant had given him the tattoo, but there was no information about that plant on the entire StarNet.
Perhaps this plant is unique to that planet, which is why it is not known to the general public?
Ye Qingyun posted another question on a plant enthusiast forum, deciding that if no one there knew the answer, he wouldn't waste any more time searching.
Someone replied to him very quickly:
[Where would you find such a plant? Don't be ridiculous. Did someone secretly get a tattoo on you while you were sleeping?]
Keep it simple, keep your bragging simple, my sharp eyes have already seen through it! You're trying to say you conquered that legendary man, won his love, and got a full-back tattoo?
Brother, if you'd just eaten a couple more peanuts, you wouldn't be this drunk.
Still thinking he's sleeping right next to you? Stop daydreaming, bro, go to sleep.
Ye Qingyun: "..."
He wasn't dreaming, it's real! There really is such a plant!
It couldn't have been tattooed on his body while he was asleep, because Gu Chenyuan had been following him these past few days, and no one else could have gotten close to him. And Gu Chenyuan would never have done such a thing secretly.
As for that legendary figure, he's already the Third Prince's boyfriend. He'd never met her before, so the idea that she'd fallen for him is utter nonsense.
Ye Qingyun rejected several theories and became increasingly certain that the plant was unique to that planet, so he turned off the terminal without much concern.
He'll remove the tattoo when he has time.
...No, he's going to change bodies anyway, so the tattoo can't follow him, and there's no need to bother with it.

Gu Chenyuan also finished showering and came out, standing beside Ye Qingyun's bed.
Ye Qingyun could feel the steam from Gu Chenyuan's shower, which made her head spin a little.
"Is something the matter?" Ye Qingyun asked.
Gu Chenyuan reached into his pocket and pulled out a pendant.
It is the stone of love.
Ye Qingyun said thank you and reached out to take it, but unexpectedly Gu Chenyuan avoided his hand.
"Sit still," Gu Chenyuan said.
Ye Qingyun, not understanding what was going on, obediently sat up straight.
Then he saw Gu Chenyuan lean down and put his hands behind his neck.
At such close range, Ye Qingyun could clearly see Gu Chenyuan's eyelashes. They were long, not curled, but slightly drooping, which made his eyes appear even colder.
Gu Chenyuan was putting a necklace on him.
Ye Qingyun realized this belatedly.
Gu Chenyuan put it on, stretched out one hand, and moved the love stone to the center before straightening up.
"It's yours," Gu Chenyuan said in a muffled voice.
Ye Qingyun: "Thank you, thank you. I will use it to research something useful as soon as possible."
Gu Chenyuan didn't say anything. He got into his own bed and lay down with his back to Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the light, and touched the cool Love Stone in the darkness.
For a fleeting moment, he even felt that Gu Chenyuan wanted him to keep wearing the stone, rather than dismantling it for research.
It must be my imagination.
————
Next, Ye Qingyun began to study the stone. That evening, accompanied by Gu Chenyuan, he went outside to observe whether the Stone of Love would react under the moonlight.
The place they came to was very remote, and there was no one else around. After observing and recording for a long time, Ye Qingyun got up and was about to leave when she heard noisy footsteps.
Ye Qingyun was put on Gu Chenyuan's arm, and a thin layer of black mist shrouded them, making it impossible for the newcomer to detect them.
An angry voice rang out: "Well, I didn't expect you to be so bold as to impersonate that person to deceive me?"
Ye Qingyun recognized the voice; it was the Third Prince's.
What do you mean by fake? Could it be that the Third Prince's lover isn't the legendary person?
The third prince slapped his lover hard across the face and demanded, "How did you get this tattoo? Tell me the truth, or I'll have them bury you right now!"
His lover remained silent for a long time before replying, "...I secretly stabbed you while you were asleep."
"No wonder you feel uncomfortable!" the Third Prince roared. "I was wondering why the tattoo growth process is supposed to be painless, but it's different for you! You even said that all tattoo changes are painful, and it would be strange if it didn't hurt. I actually believed your nonsense!"
Hearing these words, Ye Qingyun subconsciously touched her lower back.
What a coincidence, his tattoo... doesn't hurt at all when it grows.
