Ye Qingyun entered the study and saw numerous bookshelves, all crammed with books. She was momentarily astonished, then began searching through them.
After searching for a while, Ye Qingyun couldn't find the book he wanted, but he did discover that there were many books about the research and production of medicines.
Ye Qingyun felt a little puzzled. Did Gu Chenyuan really like to study these things? Why had she never heard Gu Chenyuan mention them?
Could it be that after reading his book, she changed her interests and started to like what he was researching?
Oh dear, that's so embarrassing!
If Ye Qingyun had a tail, it would be wagging high in the sky by now. He continued his search with a cheerful heart, when he heard footsteps behind him.
Ye Qingyun turned his head and saw Gu Chenyuan standing behind him, his dark eyes quietly watching him.
Ye Qingyun felt a little shy. He asked Gu Chenyun to sit aside while he continued his search.
Gu Chenyuan didn't sit down. He stood behind Ye Qingyun, watching her get closer and closer to the place where the book was hidden, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
He wrote many notes in that book. Given Ye Qingyun's intelligence, she could easily deduce the key points he was studying based on the amount of notes, thereby discovering what he truly wanted to delve into and his real purpose for boarding the ship.
...He went to that ship to use Ye Qingyun; it was all part of his calculations.
Ye Qingyun must be furious, right? She thought he was just someone who wanted to learn, but it turns out he's a cunning wolf trying to take advantage of her?
Moreover, Ye Qingyun was initially unwilling to teach him; it was only because of Pu Tian that Ye Qingyun forced herself to teach him despite her anger.
This beginning was anything but pleasant. If Ye Qingyun were to find out that it was all his doing...
As Ye Qingyun continued searching, she finally found the book, and Gu Chenyuan's mood sank to the bottom.
Ye Qingyun opened the book and, seeing the numerous notes, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She then began to peruse the entire book.
Every reaction from Ye Qingyun was like a sharp blade hanging over Gu Chenyuan's head, and he awaited Ye Qingyun's anger.
He didn't care if Ye Qingyun wanted to hit him or scold him. But if Ye Qingyun wanted to leave...
Several dark thoughts flashed through Gu Chenyuan's mind. Gu Chenyuan's eyes flickered as he stared intently at Ye Qingyun's back.
No matter how much Ye Qingyun disliked him, he would never let her leave.
Time flowed quietly. Ye Qingyun had roughly finished flipping through the book, then turned around after a moment of silence.
Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Ye Qingyun's gaze. He waited for Ye Qingyun to get angry, but instead heard Ye Qingyun say gently to him, "You really like pharmacy! Why didn't you tell me before?"
Gu Chenyuan was startled and suddenly looked up. He didn't see the look of disgust in Ye Qingyun's eyes. Ye Qingyun's warm eyes were still looking at him, gentle and bright.
"Do you think I don't know? I do know a little bit," Ye Qingyun said modestly. "If you want to know anything, you can just ask me. Don't be shy. We're already in this kind of relationship, right?"
Gu Chenyuan met Ye Qingyun's silent gaze, trying to discern Ye Qingyun's emotions.
Ye Qingyun...didn't notice?
Or perhaps she did discover it, but given their current relationship, Ye Qingyun was too lazy to bother with him.
Regardless of the answer, it was a great joy for Gu Chenyuan. He immediately stated his position: "I have no interest in potion research now, I don't want to study it anymore, and there's no need to trouble you."
Ye Qingyun smiled, turned her head, and continued studying the book, her gaze lingering on certain chapters.
Gu Chenyuan's flaws were actually numerous and not difficult to deduce. Ye Qingyun thought about it for a moment and realized that possibility had come to mind.
No wonder Gu Chenyuan said that his grandmother had already passed away. It turns out that the reason Gu Chenyuan boarded the ship was not because of his grandmother at all, but because of him.
Gu Chenyuan probably wants him to research an antidote to break the bloodline restriction, which is consistent with Gu Chenyuan's personality.
That's great! Since that's Gu Chenyuan's original goal, Gu Chenyuan will be very happy when he develops the antidote and hands it over to him!
Thinking of the bright future, Ye Qingyun was even more delighted. He hugged his books, said goodbye to Gu Chenyuan, and left for the laboratory.
Gu Chenyuan watched Ye Qingyun leave, then put all the remaining books on potion making into the encrypted bookcase.
An antidote? He doesn't need that.
This bloodline constraint not only constrained him, but also Ye Qingyun.
If Ye Qingyun hadn't known about the existence of this bloodline constraint and his influence on him, he would have always tried to leave.
He will not give Ye Qingyun that chance.
If one day a potion that can remove the bloodline stagnation ever appears... he will be the first to go and destroy it.
——————
Ye Qingyun spent several days studying the book. After finishing the study, she looked back at her previous experiments, and the difficulties were immediately resolved.
That's great! At this rate, he really won't have to wait long to deliver the antidote to Gu Chenyuan!
What reason should you give when you're giving a gift?
Ye Qingyun thought for a moment, then opened her calendar to look up the upcoming holidays.
Let's give it to Gu Chenyuan as a holiday gift!
Today is the 20th, and the closest holiday to today is... Valentine's Day?
Ye Qingyun was taken aback, then blushed.
He had never paid attention to the fact that Valentine's Day in the interstellar world was just around the corner.
He didn't have a partner to spend Valentine's Day with before. Will he have a chance this time?
Give the antidote to Gu Chenyuan. Let Gu Chenyuan drink it happily, and then he can happily express his feelings to Gu Chenyuan, and the two of them can happily spend Valentine's Day together.
Oh my god, perfect!
It's settled then!

On Valentine's Day, Ye Qingyun watched the news with Gu Chenyuan while having breakfast.
The news broadcasts exciting Valentine's Day events from various planets, and experts even come out to introduce various mini-games that are said to improve the affection between couples, recommending that citizens try them at home with their loved ones.
There are all sorts of mini-games, some of which are best left unsaid. For example, experts suggest that couples love each other from dusk till dawn, and when the sun rises, they should embrace, draw back the curtains, and watch the fiery red sun.
There are also more innocent and lighthearted games, such as saying "I love you" to your loved one after each activity. Experts say that love should be expressed loudly so that your loved one can directly feel your love and thus deepen the relationship between the two.
Alternatively, prepare a surprise gift for your partner to make their day full of surprises.
Ye Qingyun reached into his pocket under the table and felt around. He had simply packaged the bottle of medicine, waiting for the right time to give it to Gu Chenyuan as a surprise.
Ye Qingyun glanced at Gu Chenyuan secretly and found that Gu Chenyuan was also looking at him.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Qingyun blurted out nervously.
Gu Chenyuan remained silent for a moment, then poured him a glass of milk. While doing so, he looked directly into Ye Qingyun's eyes once more.
Perhaps it was because today was such a special day that Ye Qingyun felt shy being looked at like that by Gu Chenyuan.
Ye Qingyun picked up the cup somewhat awkwardly, about to take a sip, when she heard Gu Chenyun say, "I love you."
Caught off guard, Ye Qingyun choked on her milk upon hearing this.
Gu Chenyuan patted Ye Qingyun's back to help him catch his breath.
"Why are you being so direct all of a sudden?" Ye Qingyun asked awkwardly.
Gu Chenyuan looked at the expert on the television, his meaning clear without being spoken.
He and Ye Qingyun were not lovers, but he harbored fantasies deep down, which is why he made the attempt.
This is the least offensive way to deal with Ye Qingyun, and it doesn't require Ye Qingyun's cooperation; all that's needed is for him to speak.
What if... what if Ye Qingyun could gradually get used to him and accept him through these little things?
"Alright, alright, it's nothing now." Ye Qingyun stopped coughing, wiped her mouth, and continued eating, thinking as she ate.
When should he give the gift to Gu Chenyuan? Now? Or before going to bed tonight?
If you give it to them before going to bed at night, and then express your feelings afterward, will they... love each other from dusk till dawn, and then, as the sun rises, embrace each other, draw back the curtains, and watch the fiery red sun?
...No, wait, what is he thinking? This is progressing way too fast!
Seeing Ye Qingyun eating absentmindedly, as if she was thinking about someone, Gu Chenyuan pursed his lips and said softly, "Qingyun... I have something to give you."
"Huh?" Ye Qingyun looked up in surprise. "What is it?"
Gu Chenyuan didn't rush to speak. He waited until Ye Qingyun finished her breakfast before saying, "Come with me."
Ye Qingyun obediently followed Gu Chenyuan, who led him around in circles until they finally stopped in front of a room.
The door to the room wasn't locked. Gu Chenyuan pressed his hand on it, activated his supernatural ability, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Ye Qingyun was dazzled by the glittering jewels inside.
So much gold and silver jewelry, so many rare materials!
My goodness, Gu Chenyuan is such a tycoon!
"It's for you," Gu Chenyuan said calmly.
"You're giving me all this?" Ye Qingyun was shocked.
Gu Chenyuan was silent for a moment before explaining, "It is a bit little. I didn't pay much attention to accumulating wealth before; I was content with just enough. But don't worry, I can give you much more than this. Just wait a little longer, and I will bring back more."
Ye Qingyun wasn't complaining that it wasn't enough; he was clearly astonished by the sheer amount of treasure. But Gu Chenyuan's words surprised him even more.
"That's plenty, plenty," Ye Qingyun quickly replied.
"Hmm," Gu Chenyuan said calmly, "but not good enough for you."
These sweet words were really too much for Ye Qingyun to bear. He took a deep breath, reached into his pocket, and touched the medicine inside.
Gu Chenyuan gave him a gift, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to return the favor by giving him a gift now.
Ye Qingyun composed herself and said to Gu Chenyuan, "I... also have something to give you."
A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Chenyuan's face, followed by shock and ecstasy.
What does it mean that Ye Qingyun gave him something today? Does it mean...?
Gu Chenyuan felt as if he were walking on clouds, happy, but without any sense of reality.
He watched as Ye Qingyun took a small bottle out of her pocket and handed it to him.
Gu Chenyuan accepted the gift, but he didn't look at it; he just stared intently at Ye Qingyun.
"This is...this is..." Ye Qingyun's face flushed slightly as his gaze fell on Gu Chenyuan's sleeve. "This is the antidote to your bloodline restriction. Please drink it, okay?"
Antidote?
These words brought Gu Chenyuan no joy whatsoever.
Ye Qingyun finally couldn't stand him anymore, so she made him the antidote and decided to break up with him.
The cloud of happiness shattered, and Gu Chenyuan felt as if he were back in an ice cave.
