Ye Qingyun arrived at the best restaurant in the area as she wished and ordered the most expensive dishes.
To maintain his clingy nature, Ye Qingyun didn't sit opposite Gu Chenyuan, but instead sat next to him. Seeing the dishes being served, he immediately said in a affected manner, "Oh my god, how could there be so much? I accidentally ordered a little too much. It wasn't intentional, I just wanted to eat this and that. You won't be mad at me, will you?"
Ye Qingyun leaned half of his body against Gu Chenyuan's arm, and he could clearly feel that Gu Chenyuan was a little stiff.
What a pitiful child, he disgusted him to no end.
“It’s okay, you can eat whatever you want,” Gu Chenyuan replied.
Ye Qingyun pressed her advantage: "I don't want to lift a finger, it's too much trouble. You can help me pick it up and feed me."
Gu Chenyuan turned to look at him, and Ye Qingyun guiltily turned his head away, resting his head on Gu Chenyuan's shoulder. He was mentally prepared to be slapped away by Gu Chenyuan, but he saw Gu Chenyuan actually pick up his chopsticks and put a little bit of each item into his bowl.
This is a public place, not at home. How could Gu Chenyuan tolerate such an humiliating and outrageous act?
Ye Qingyun frowned. He genuinely felt sorry for Gu Chenyuan. If it were him, and someone acted like that around him, he would definitely think that person was a giant baby, who could eat or not eat as they pleased, and let them starve to death.
As a spoonful of food was brought to Ye Qingyun's lips, she heard Gu Chenyuan ask, "Is it delicious?"
Ye Qingyun ate the food, and his gaze moved upwards, meeting Gu Chenyuan's eyes.
Gu Chenyuan's eyes did not show the humiliation he had imagined. Instead, he looked at him seriously, his dark eyes reflecting his image. It seemed that as long as he was happy, everything was fine.
Looking into those eyes, Ye Qingyun's ears involuntarily began to burn, and a cheesy phrase she had jotted down while studying a few days ago popped into her mind—
"Thank you, honey. You're so great!"
"bite--"
The spoon fell to the ground with a crisp sound, followed by silence.
Ye Qingyun stared blankly at Gu Chenyuan's astonished expression, and a wave of sorrow washed over her.
Very well, he has already achieved social death in front of Gu Chenyuan.
He has no face left.
Why does he have such a good memory? Why did he have to memorize that lousy line?
Ye Qingyun was embarrassed for a long time. When she recovered, she found that Gu Chenyuan still didn't move. He seemed to have turned into a stone and just sat there blankly.
"Gu Chenyuan?" Ye Qingyun shook Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan snapped out of his daze, abruptly pulling his gaze away from Ye Qingyun's face and shifting it to the dining table.
Ye Qingyun was unsure about Gu Chenyuan's current state. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to stick to the original plan and continue to annoy Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan is a very independent person who hates it when others lay hands on him. Generally speaking, anyone who dares to lay hands on him is often beaten so badly that they can't take care of themselves before they can even carry out their plan.
Ye Qingyun also discovered that even though Gu Chenyuan said he liked him, he didn't touch him much, and there was no physical contact of that kind.
In conclusion, it can be deduced that Gu Chenyuan is sexually frigid, and even if he likes someone, it is only a platonic relationship.
Ye Qingyun's intention this time was to take advantage of his current clingy personality to try and make Gu Chenyuan physically uncomfortable, so that Gu Chenyuan would develop a dislike for him.
Ye Qingyun leaned forward, one hand on the table, and turned to look at Gu Chenyuan's expression. At the same time, under the table where no one could see, she lightly kicked Gu Chenyuan's shin: "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Gu Chenyuan remained expressionless, shifting his leg to the side to prevent Ye Qingyun from touching him.
That reaction is interesting! Gu Chenyuan really hates being touched!
Ye Qingyun understood, and her foot went over again, hooking onto Gu Chenyuan's calf.
Gu Chenyuan tried to move away again, but this time he was entangled by Ye Qingyun and could not get away.
Gu Chenyuan closed his eyes, his dark eyelashes trembling slightly: "...That's enough."
Ye Qingyun felt that he was really lewd right now, like a bad older brother who was forcing an innocent boy.
However, this was exactly the effect they wanted. Ye Qingyun, who was doing something naughty, still had to pretend to be a delicate and innocent little flower: "Enough? You...you! I touched you first, and this is how you talk to me? You're so bad!"
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, she braced herself and pretended to be defiant as she moved even closer to Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan opened his eyes, his unfathomable black pupils staring at Ye Qingyun, exuding an inexplicable pressure. Gu Chenyuan asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what it means to flirt with someone's leg under the table?"
Ye Qingyun: "..."
This involves his blind spots in knowledge.
He chose to be under the table simply because others couldn't see him, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing. Could there be a deeper meaning behind it?
Ye Qingyun and Gu Chenyuan looked at each other. At this moment, their thirst for knowledge overcame all other feelings. Ye Qingyun smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't understand. Tell me."
Gu Chenyuan looked at him silently, then suddenly reached out and pressed his hand down.
Gu Chenyuan's body temperature was always on the cooler side, as were his hands. But today his hands were unusually hot, making Ye Qingyun feel uncomfortable.
Ye Qingyun subconsciously tried to pull her hand away, but this time, Gu Chenyuan wouldn't allow it.
“I’m telling you,” Gu Chenyuan looked into Ye Qingyun’s eyes, gripped her hand tightly, and said, word by word, “you’re telling me that you want to sleep with me tonight.”
The words "go to bed" should have seemed out of place with Gu Chenyuan, given his aversion to romance. But when Gu Chenyuan uttered them, Ye Qingyun didn't find it amusing; instead, it made him tense and want to escape.
Gu Chenyuan's expression, aura, eyes, and actions all indicated that he was serious.
Ye Qingyun had never learned anything about this before, and he never expected to step on such a big landmine this time. Looking at Gu Chenyuan, who was radiating a low-pressure aura, he said tremblingly, "You...you didn't want to either."
"I don't want to?" Gu Chenyuan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly without any smile as he repeated, "You think I don't want to?"
Ye Qingyun dared not speak, but his eyes revealed his thoughts.
He genuinely felt that Gu Chenyuan had absolutely no interest in such matters. After all, Gu Chenyuan was such a cold and aloof male god in the original novel, he resisted all kinds of temptations. No matter how sexy a beauty or handsome man was, he saw them as nothing more than a pile of pork.
Gu Chenyuan adjusted his posture, put his other hand around Ye Qingyun's waist, and easily pulled him into his arms.
Gu Chenyuan was wearing a loose robe, and he hadn't looked any different until now. But at this distance, Ye Qingyun could clearly feel something poking him uncomfortably.
Ye Qingyun, being a man himself, naturally knew what this was and what state Gu Chenyuan was in.
No wonder Gu Chenyuan wouldn't let him touch him. He didn't think he had done anything too outrageous, but that little spark had already ignited Gu Chenyuan.
So what should he do now?
Ye Qingyun was somewhat confused. He stood frozen in Gu Chenyuan's arms, and Gu Chenyuan held him for a while before slowly letting him go.
“My patience is limited, and I can’t always hold back,” Gu Chenyuan said. “I hope you won’t make any more provocative moves, otherwise I can’t guarantee what might happen.”
Ye Qingyun: "Oh... okay."
Ye Qingyun ate in a state of utter confusion. Gu Chenyuan's actions had completely overturned his impression of Gu Chenyuan.
In Ye Qingyun's eyes, a person without desires possesses a certain degree of Buddhist nature. Gu Chenyuan, in his view, is someone who always remains detached from worldly affairs; even if he likes Gu Chenyuan, it's a faint liking, like liking a flower.
But now, Gu Chenyuan has developed feelings for him, and it's no longer the kind of liking one has for a flower.
As Ye Qingyun ate, she realized that she had overlooked a very important issue.
His deduction that Gu Chenyuan disliked the delicate type was based on a crucial premise—that Gu Chenyuan was an aloof, submissive type.
What if... what if Gu Chenyuan turns from bottom to top? Would that standard still hold true then?
Ye Qingyun felt like he was suffocating. He took a deep breath and asked Gu Chenyuan in a trembling voice, "I have a question for you, um... do you want to sleep with me, or do I want to sleep with you?"
Gu Chenyuan: "..."
Gu Chenyuan didn't speak, but Ye Qingyun could already understand what Gu Chenyuan wanted to express just by looking at him.
Gu Chenyuan wanted to sleep with him.
Ye Qingyun was even more desperate: "Have you been annoyed by me sticking to you all this time?"
Gu Chenyuan smiled slightly and shook his head.
Indeed, the aloof and icy top and the clingy and dramatic bottom are such a perfect match, how could they find each other annoying?
Ye Qingyun: "..."
He must be having such a tough time!
Ye Qingyun ate her meal with her head down in despair, pondering a solution, when she heard a voice from beside the table: "What a coincidence, you're here to eat too? Since we've run into each other, you don't mind if I sit at the same table with you, do you?"
The voice sounded familiar. Ye Qingyun looked up and saw the Third Prince standing to the side with a smile on his face.
The Third Prince hasn't left this planet yet? Didn't he kill his lover? What is he doing still staying on this planet meant for couples to visit?
This question flashed through Ye Qingyun's mind, and then he saw the Third Prince automatically pull out the chair opposite them and sit down on the other side.
Ye Qingyun frowned: "We haven't agreed yet."
"Hehe." The Third Prince chuckled. "Meeting is fate. Let's chat and become friends."
Ye Qingyun: "???"
I should be friends with this guy!
The Third Prince's gaze swept quickly towards Gu Chenyuan, then returned to normal, and he looked at Ye Qingyun with a kind smile.
...That's right, the Third Prince has been searching for that humanoid weapon. Gu Chenyuan's appearance and temperament match so well, he's probably suspicious of him.
"Is there anything else you'd like to eat? I'll pay, shall we order a bit more?" the Third Prince said.
"No, we're already full." Ye Qingyun immediately stood up and was about to pull Gu Chenyuan away.
The bodyguards who had been silently standing behind the Third Prince stepped forward and blocked Ye Qingyun's path.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" The Third Prince still smiled. "Sit down and let's talk. I won't harm you. But if you make the royal family lose face today, the consequences will be more than just making me unhappy."
The Third Prince is not just a prince of a single planet; an entire star system forms an empire, and the royal power extends across this vast galaxy. It can be said that if you offend the royal family and they have a legitimate reason to pursue you, you will find it difficult to escape their revenge, no matter where you flee to.
A wise person knows when to yield, so Ye Qingyun sat back down.
He could be unafraid of this threat, since he could change his appearance after his rebirth and no one would recognize him, but what about Gu Chenyuan?
Gu Chenyuan is outnumbered and outmatched, so it's best for him not to act impulsively to avoid causing trouble for Gu Chenyuan.
Even if he stays, he won't have an easy time, and neither will the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was pleased with Ye Qingyun's sensible manner. He poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "Mr. Ye and Mr. Gu have a very good relationship. May I ask where you two met?"
"Not at all," Ye Qingyun said modestly, "It's because you and your husband have such a good relationship. You have so much confidence in him. By the way, where is your husband?"
The Third Prince's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "He felt he wasn't good enough for me, so he left to improve himself."
"Really? He's that hardworking?" Ye Qingyun feigned shock. "Isn't he supposed to be virtually unbeatable? You don't need to be so heartbroken that you abandon him just because he lost to my Shen Yuan this time, do you?"
Seeing that the Third Prince's expression was turning sour again, Ye Qingyun said insincerely, "I'm sorry, I'm just not good at speaking. I didn't mean anything by it. I hope you understand, Third Prince?"
"Heh, I understand." The Third Prince sneered a few times. "You two seem to have a very good relationship; are you each other's first love?"
A crucial factor in determining whether someone is a human weapon is how many relationships they've had. If it's more than one, then they definitely aren't.
Ye Qingyun might not tell him the truth, but that doesn't matter. He can always glean some information from Ye Qingyun's demeanor and tone of voice.
If Gu Chenyuan is the humanoid weapon he has been searching for... even if Gu Chenyuan has fallen in love with someone else, he still cannot let him go.
Since Gu Chenyuan listens to Ye Qingyun, then he'll find an opportunity to arrest Ye Qingyun. With Ye Qingyun in his hands, why worry about Gu Chenyuan refusing to obey his orders?
The Third Prince looked at Ye Qingyun, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
However, before he could get a reply from Ye Qingyun, an overwhelming supernatural power descended upon him out of nowhere.
This is Gu Chenyuan's special ability.
Gu Chenyuan discovered his feelings for Ye Qingyun, so he warned him.
Under the threat of absolute power, the Third Prince could no longer utter any harsh words and could only watch helplessly as Ye Qingyun and Gu Chenyuan left.
Ye Qingyun was still dumbfounded when Gu Chenyuan led her away: "Are we just leaving like this?"
"I've already paid the bill," Gu Chenyuan said calmly.
"That's not what I meant." Ye Qingyun shook his head. He was so anxious that he didn't care about his manner of speaking. "I mean... how will you manage to offend him like this? You are very capable, that's true, but it's still very easy for people like them to disturb your peace and quiet."
"And what about you?" Gu Chenyuan asked.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Ye Qingyun asked, puzzled.
Gu Chenyuan was silent for a moment, "You didn't say what trouble you would face after offending them, you only focused on the trouble I would encounter."
Ye Qingyun didn't think he was any trouble. He was a man with a cheat code, just like Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan could tell what Ye Qingyun was thinking, and he pursed his lips.
How could there be such a person who pays no attention to himself but worries about the trivial trouble that might happen to him?
So Ye Qingyun's decision to stay and face the Third Prince, whom she disliked, was also for his sake.
Gu Chenyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist and took Ye Qingyun's hand.
On the bustling street, a pair of clasped hands went unnoticed by anyone except the owner of those hands.
Ye Qingyun was startled: "???"
Ye Qingyun tried to pull her hand out, but failed.
"Qingyun," Gu Chenyuan said softly.
Ye Qingyun: "!!!"
What happened? Why did Gu Chenyuan suddenly call him that?
Gu Chenyuan's voice was very soft, as if it might dissipate into the air at any moment, yet it still reached Ye Qingyun's ears without missing a single word: "I'm following you, not so that you can suffer."
Ye Qingyun: "...I am not wronged."
Gu Chenyuan did not argue with Ye Qingyun, but continued, "In the future, if you encounter this kind of thing, as long as you don't like it, you don't need to endure it. Just leave and don't worry too much."
Ye Qingyun: "..."
If Gu Chenyuan were still a child, his parenting methods would definitely have produced a spoiled brat.
Gu Chenyuan: "Just do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it for you."
Ye Qingyun was stunned by these bold words. After a long while, she said, "This...it depends on the situation. You can't always cover for everything, like that Third Prince just now." Ye Qingyun seriously lectured Gu Chenyuan, "If I recklessly provoke the Third Prince and he uses the entire empire's power to hunt me down, can you still suppress them with your own strength and beat them to the ground, calling me Your Majesty?"
Gu Chenyuan: "Mm."
Ye Qingyun was shocked: "Huh? Think carefully before you speak?"
Gu Chenyuan looked up at the sky. It was daytime, and there were no shining stars, but he could still see some small planets that were very close by, hanging quietly in the sky.
“I’ve thought it through.” Gu Chenyuan gripped Ye Qingyun’s hand tightly. “I want this entire star system to be yours, and for you to become the most honored person in this star system.”
Ye Qingyun suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Chenyuan. He saw Gu Chenyuan's profile. At first glance, he still looked as calm as ever, but upon closer inspection, there was madness hidden in his eyes.
"Stop, stop, calm down!" Ye Qingyun quickly stopped Gu Chenyuan. "I never even thought of asking you to help me build my empire, why are you being so proactive!"
Gu Chenyuan remained unmoved and continued, "If I die in the process... then you will be free, and I will leave all my inheritance to you."
Ye Qingyun grew increasingly alarmed as she listened. Just as she was about to offer some advice to Gu Chenyuan, Gu Chenyuan turned his face, his pure black eyes fixed on her, and said with a desperate air, "But if I succeed and don't die, would you be willing to be with me?"
