Ye Qingyun felt like she was about to vomit blood. Her emotions were extremely complicated, and she didn't even know what she was feeling.
That idiot Gu Chenyuan actually refused to drink the antidote and even threw away the precious antidote. It really infuriated him!
Gu Chenyuan actually preferred to suffer the pain himself rather than release him from his restraints, and even locked him in this small room. He's really courting death!
That bastard Gu Chenyuan actually rejected his confession! His first confession failed so badly! He was so angry! What would the ancestors of the Ye family think of him? His five-year-old nephew confessed to the little girl he liked and wasn't rejected!
Ye Qingyun didn't speak or look at Gu Chenyuan, just sat there quietly, which made Gu Chenyuan's heart skip a beat.
How ridiculous! He did such an outrageous thing, yet he still wanted Ye Qingyun to ignore him and not resent him.
Gu Chenyuan knew he was indulging in wishful thinking again. He gave a bitter laugh and half-squatted in front of Ye Qingyun.
Gu Chenyuan said softly, "If you're angry, you can hit me. Don't keep it inside; it's bad for your health."
"Hit you?" Ye Qingyun glanced at Gu Chenyuan and said angrily, "I won't hit you. Wouldn't my hand hurt if I did?"
Gu Chenyuan remained silent, his lowered eyelashes revealing a hint of loneliness.
Ye Qingyun had basically calmed down and was quickly thinking about what to do next.
This situation definitely can't continue; it's not good for either him or Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan's refusal to take the medicine and his rejection of his confession ultimately stemmed from one issue.
Gu Chenyuan simply didn't believe he could like him, so when he confessed, Gu Chenyuan assumed he had a scheme and wanted to leave. The same logic applied to drinking the antidote.
Since that's the case, he'll try his best to make Gu Chenyuan realize his true feelings and let Gu Chenyuan know that he won't leave just because the confinement is lifted. Isn't that enough?
Yes, perfect, killing two birds with one stone!
Ye Qingyun made up her mind and looked at Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan frowned slightly. The coldness between his brows dissipated when he faced Ye Qingyun. The unapproachable god descended to earth and became more down-to-earth.
Ye Qingyun reached out and placed her hand on Gu Chenyuan's heart.
Gu Chenyuan had just defied his orders, and must still be in pain all over because of the bloodline restriction. He had to think of a way to stop Gu Chenyuan from being in pain.
According to his research, to restore a disobedient humanoid weapon to its normal state, it needs the forgiveness of its admirers and a punishment.
As for the punishment, you can be creative with that. Just make some movements on parts that could cause life-threatening situations to give the disobedient humanoid weapon a warning.
Ye Qingyun felt Gu Chenyuan's heartbeat; Gu Chenyuan's heart was right below him, and it seemed that as long as he made a move, he could easily end Gu Chenyuan's life.
Gu Chenyuan did not resist. He quietly watched Ye Qingyun, as if Ye Qingyun could do whatever she wanted as long as she was happy.
He was the one who made Ye Qingyun angry in the first place, so it's only right that he accepts the punishment now.
But to Gu Chenyuan's surprise, he felt the pain in his body recede like a tide, and Ye Qingyun looked at him with amazement in her eyes.
Ye Qingyun was both amazed and a little annoyed. "I haven't seen you exercise much. You're a homebody just like me, so how come you have more muscles than me?"
Is this also the protagonist's halo? He wants it too, he also wants to become a big guy with eight-pack abs.
Ye Qingyun touched it with a sour feeling, but Gu Chenyuan pressed her hand down.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Gu Chenyuan said in a muffled voice.
This shouldn't be happening. Ye Qingyun should hate him intensely now, hate him for imprisoning him, hate him for being domineering and unpredictable. How could this be...?
Ye Qingyun: "I know, I told you not to keep hurting."
Gu Chenyuan frowned, his face showing suppressed disapproval: "Do you know that what you're doing is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, encouraging my wickedness? Now I've locked you up here, and you've forgiven me, but what about later? What if I push my luck, trying to force you to hug me, trying to force you to kiss me, trying to force you to have sex with me—"
Ye Qingyun reached out and put her arm around Gu Chenyuan's neck, resting her head on his shoulder.
Gu Chenyuan abruptly stopped speaking.
Ye Qingyun tried her best to abandon any sense of shame and shamelessly rubbed against Gu Chenyuan's shoulder: "Isn't that perfect? It's a very normal thing! I like you, and you like me, so if you want to do these things, I'll do them with you."
Ye Qingyun had never been in a relationship and rarely paid attention to things related to romance, so it was too difficult for him to come up with any sophisticated love quotes. He could only shamelessly say cheesy things.
Gu Chenyuan remained silent, leaving it unclear whether he believed her or not. Ye Qingyun, unable to see Gu Chenyuan's expression from her current angle, continued shamelessly, "I truly like you, why won't you believe me?"
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, he thought that if he was rejected a second time, he might really be furious. So he lowered his voice and threatened, "Gu Chenyuan, I'm warning you, this is the second time I've confessed to you. If you still don't agree, you'll never have another chance in your life. I'm going to find another man."
Gu Chenyuan was surrounded by happiness and unease. The happiness was uncertain, but the unease was very real.
What emotions were in Ye Qingyun's eyes when she said these words? Was it a mixture of resentment and forbearance, a silent suffering?
Even knowing that this was the most likely outcome, Gu Chenyuan still felt an inappropriate expectation rising in his heart.
He wanted to see it with his own eyes... to confirm the facts with his own eyes, and to extinguish that flame that shouldn't have been there.
Gu Chenyuan gently put his arm around Ye Qingyun's shoulder, trying to pull him away from his shoulder.
Ye Qingyun was shocked: "You pushed me? You actually pushed me?"
“No,” Gu Chenyuan explained softly, “Qingyun… let me see your face.”
Ye Qingyun then got up with a groan, allowing Gu Chenyuan to finally see Ye Qingyun's expression at this moment.
Those few words were clearly too much for Ye Qingyun; his entire face and neck flushed pink with embarrassment, looking incredibly fresh and appealing. His eyes sparkled, his light amber pupils seeming to melt into a pool of honey, possessing an irresistible sweetness.
Gu Chenyuan saw no sign of reluctance; he himself was almost melting into those intoxicating eyes.
He wasn't close enough to see the expression in Ye Qingyun's eyes. He needed to get closer, much closer.
Thinking this, Gu Chenyuan moved closer little by little until he finally pressed his forehead against Ye Qingyun's forehead.
At this distance, Ye Qingyun's expression was no longer visible to the naked eye, but the temperature on her forehead and the airflow from her breath were all so close.
Gu Chenyuan greedily inhaled Ye Qingyun's aura, trying his best to restrain himself from releasing a little spiritual energy so that he could better see Ye Qingyun's expression.
At such close range, if Ye Qingyun truly disliked him and didn't want any intimate contact with him, her eyes should have revealed her annoyance.
Then, Gu Chenyuan saw Ye Qingyun close her eyes.
Gu Chenyuan felt a chill in his heart.
Ye Qingyun has always been intelligent. Did she know that her eyes might convey unfavorable information, so she immediately closed them?
Ye Qingyun found him disgusting and didn't want to be in close contact with him. Pretending to like him was probably just a ploy to trick him into drinking the antidote.
Gu Chenyuan also closed his eyes. He felt the warmth of Ye Qingyun on his forehead and used all his strength to separate himself from Ye Qingyun.
He should leave; he shouldn't cling to unrealistic fantasies anymore.
Gu Chenyuan stood up, about to turn and leave, but his hand was grabbed.
Ye Qingyun: "?"
Ye Qingyun grabbed Gu Chenyuan, preventing him from leaving, and said incredulously, "Are you kidding me? You flirted with him and then ran away? You're actually that kind of person?"
Gu Chenyuan pursed his lips and explained, "Qingyun... we're already in this situation, and I don't want to force you anymore, making you hate me even more."
Ye Qingyun: "...What are you talking about? How could I hate you?"
Ye Qingyun was completely baffled. What was the status of him and Gu Chenyuan? Hadn't they already crossed the final line, and Gu Chenyuan was already leaning in to kiss him?
He had already closed his eyes and prepared himself, but Gu Chenyuan actually wanted to run away?
Are you teasing him?
Gu Chenyuan didn't actually want to reveal everything, and wanted to leave the two of them some room to reconcile. Even when Ye Qingyun pressed him for answers, he simply turned his head and slowly said, "Don't ask anymore. I already knew the moment you closed your eyes."
Ye Qingyun: "..."
What the hell did Gu Chenyuan find out? How come he didn't know?!
It's too difficult. Although he usually thinks quickly, you can't make him think in a rush every time he gets carried away and wants to fall in love!
Seeing Ye Qingyun's genuinely bewildered expression, Gu Chenyuan sighed softly and said, "If you didn't want to look at me, why would you close your eyes?"
Ye Qingyun: "..."
If he were given a weapon right now, he would definitely blast Gu Chenyuan against the wall, so hard he wouldn't be able to pry him out.
He remembered Gu Chenyuan being so charming before! How did he suddenly become so clueless? Closing his eyes means waiting for a kiss, doesn't he even understand that?!
Gu Chenyuan said before that he hoped they could have a chance to be together and that he could forget everyone else and only look at him. Gu Chenyuan was so bold back then. Now that he is fulfilling Gu Chenyuan's wishes, does Gu Chenyuan still not believe him?
...It seems that the antidote really had a huge impact on Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan: "If you don't like me, you don't need to force yourself to do this kind of thing."
Ye Qingyun couldn't take it anymore. He angrily released Gu Chenyuan's wrist, crossed his arms, and scolded, "What do you mean 'reluctant'? Don't you close your eyes when you kiss? I closed my eyes so you could kiss me, not so you could leave! Try leaving again and let me see!"
Ye Qingyun loosened her grip on Gu Chenyuan, but Gu Chenyuan seemed glued to the spot, unable to take a step.
He certainly knew that closing her eyes meant she was waiting for a kiss.
But just now, he hadn't even considered this possibility.
Gu Chenyuan's heart was pounding wildly, and his palms were sweating profusely.
"Qingyun..." Gu Chenyuan called softly.
Ye Qingyun didn't speak. He closed his eyes again, his tight lips revealing a hint of tension and anticipation.
Gu Chenyuan walked forward step by step, looking at Ye Qingyun, and that uneasy feeling of happiness returned.
"May I?" Gu Chenyuan asked.
"Don't ask," Ye Qingyun replied in a breathy voice. "If you ask again, it means no."
Gu Chenyuan placed one palm on the back of Ye Qingyun's neck, preventing her from leaving, and then lowered his head.
Gu Chenyuan knew this was a blatant scheme, a candy wrapped in poison. But even knowing it might be a trap, he was like the most foolish prey, eagerly jumping into it for that sliver of sweetness.
