Ye Qingyun was dumbfounded, even doubting whether she had failed her Chinese exam and misunderstood Gu Chenyuan's meaning.
Is Gu Chenyuan already conquering the world?
But wasn't Gu Chenyuan always by his side, living a carefree life with him? When was this call made, in a dream?
Gu Chenyuan didn't intend to hide anything and spoke up at the right time, explaining what he had done during this period. After explaining, he added, "Doing it this way is slower, but I can stay by your side to ensure your safety and won't let you get hurt, so don't worry."
Ye Qingyun was so shocked by what he heard that he wanted to pinch his own philtrum to save himself, or beat up that idiot Gu Chenyuan.
"Is this about whether I'll get hurt? This is clearly about whether you'll be alright!" Ye Qingyun tapped Gu Chenyuan's arm and told him everything he had just found out.
After hearing this, Gu Chenyuan showed no fear, only some surprise.
“Is that so?” Gu Chenyuan said.
"Brother, times have changed, let's stop!" Ye Qingyun urged anxiously. "You're in great danger right now. Wouldn't it be better if we went into seclusion in the mountains and lived a peaceful life?"
Gu Chenyuan looked somewhat lost in thought, and after a moment said, "You can call me brother, I don't mind."
Ye Qingyun observed Gu Chenyuan's expression and felt that Gu Chenyuan not only didn't mind, but probably liked it to death.
But is now the time to talk about this?
Ye Qingyun was practically fuming. She repeated what she had just said: "Shall we find a place to hide?"
Ye Qingyun thought Gu Chenyuan would agree, but Gu Chenyuan looked at him for a long time and said indifferently, "Not really."
"Why?" Ye Qingyun asked in surprise.
Before, when Gu Chenyuan was drugged, he said he wanted to take him to a planet and live a life where they wouldn't see anyone else.
“Even if I don’t actively seek trouble, they will actively seek us out,” Gu Chenyuan replied. “The Third Prince, the Second Princess, and the Emperor who wants to make an example of me.”
Ye Qingyun was taken aback, and after a moment she continued, "But even so, that's still..."
But before Ye Qingyun could finish speaking, Gu Chenyuan interrupted her, a rare occurrence for him: "Yes, the interstellar space is so vast, of course one can live a life of hiding. But have you ever thought about living that kind of life?"
Ye Qingyun certainly didn't like it, but he still lied without hesitation: "Yes, I do. Staying at home is so comfortable. I can be anywhere."
Gu Chenyuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said softly, "Being forced to stay in one place is not the same as being willing to stay in one place. If you're with me, you can't live worse than others."
Ye Qingyun was suddenly attacked by sweet words, her face turned red, and for a moment she couldn't remember what she wanted to say.
Gu Chenyuan remained expressionless as he continued, "If you are restricted in your movements because of me, you will inevitably harbor resentment towards me in the future. Rather than waiting for your attitude to change, I'd rather take action sooner rather than later. Even if they have special weapons, we should still give them a try."
Ye Qingyun said anxiously, "I don't find it annoying at all?"
Gu Chenyuan shook his head again and remained silent.
Ye Qingyun tried to persuade Gu Chenyuan by citing his previous remarks: "When you were under the influence of that drug, didn't you tell me you were going to lock me up on a planet and not let me see anyone else? A man's word is his bond. If you say you'll lock me up, you mean you'll lock me up, understand?"
Gu Chenyuan smiled, a hint of helplessness on his face: "I was out of my mind back then, and I was talking nonsense..."
Ye Qingyun's alarm bells rang loudly, and she became vigilant.
Did Gu Chenyuan want to tell him that he didn't want to lock him up at all, and that what he said back then was all against his conscience?
Nonsense! They were all speaking the truth. Gu Chenyuan himself admitted it later, so he can't go back on his word!
Today, he's going to be a captive little wife, and no one can stop him. He's also going to tie Gu Chenyuan up so that Gu Chenyuan can't run around causing trouble.
Gu Chenyuan reached out a hand and pressed Ye Qingyun's head onto his shoulder. Ye Qingyun couldn't see Gu Chenyuan's face, but she could hear his voice.
Gu Chenyuan's tone was gentle, but the content he spoke was somewhat terrifying: "I was inconsiderate back then. How could one planet be enough? It was too unfair to you, and you would be unhappy. But once I conquer the world, then this entire interstellar space will be..."
Gu Chenyuan didn't finish his sentence, but Ye Qingyun understood his unspoken meaning.
By then, the entire interstellar space will be Gu Chenyuan's prison.
No matter where he goes, he is within Gu Chenyuan's territory and cannot escape.
The topic has somehow veered back to itself again!
This works??
Furthermore, he found his reasoning of denying it quite logical and reasonable. He couldn't think of any other way to persuade Gu Chenyuan!
Gu Chenyuan is such a stubborn person, yet he is still willing to consider his feelings and give him the greatest possible freedom. How could he possibly refuse to be a pampered wife imprisoned inside?
In the movies he used to watch, the "dark room" wasn't like this! The "dark room" was always a room with only a bed, where they'd have sex. It wasn't like the "dark room" where fish could leap freely and birds could fly high!
Ye Qingyun choked up, and after thinking for a long time, she continued, "Then, then don't be too anxious. I'll help you investigate and see if that machine has any weaknesses. I'll help you break that machine, and then you can go, okay?"
Gu Chenyuan thought for a moment, but still refused: "The weaknesses of this kind of machine will definitely not be exposed. If we want to get the truth, we will have to overcome many obstacles. What if they notice you? It's too dangerous. I refuse."
Ye Qingyun was truly speechless and could only glare angrily at Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan kissed his forehead and whispered, "Sleep now. I'll bear all the risks myself. If we succeed, I'll hold the grandest wedding to marry you. If I fail against that machine..." Gu Chenyuan smiled, his breath brushing against Ye Qingyun's earlobe, "I hope that when you miss your deceased loved ones, you'll miss me the most. Can you do that?"
"Shut up!" Ye Qingyun angrily punched Gu Chenyuan's chest, then lay down and covered herself completely with the blanket.
Ye Qingyun felt the bed beside him sink. Someone carefully hugged him from behind.
"Don't touch me," Ye Qingyun said. "I'm angry."
"Why are you angry?" Gu Chenyuan asked.
Ye Qingyun moved aside, leaving Gu Chenyuan's embrace: "You still have the nerve to ask me? If I suddenly abandoned you now and went to commit suicide, wouldn't you be angry?"
Gu Chenyuan remained silent.
Of course he would be angry, and he would do everything in his power to stop Ye Qingyun from doing this.
Gu Chenyuan knew that Ye Qingyun said this to tell him her feelings and to stop him from continuing his campaign.
But he and Ye Qingyun are different. He cannot live without Ye Qingyun, but Ye Qingyun will be sad for a while without him, but she will eventually get over it and may even find that life is more comfortable without him.
So he couldn't think of a reason to stay in a corner. Rather than living a wretched life and watching Ye Qingyun go from loving him to hating him, he might as well take action sooner and be decisive.
The window was slightly ajar, and a cool night breeze blew in. The silvery moonlight spilled onto the bed, like shattered silver.
Gu Chenyuan felt empty in his arms; Ye Qingyun wouldn't let him hold her, showing that she was still angry.
Gu Chenyuan sighed silently, withdrew his hand, lay flat on the bed, opened his eyes and stared at the dark ceiling, focusing his attention on Ye Qingyun's breathing beside him.
He liked to hold Ye Qingyun while sleeping, even if they didn't do anything. So he would wait until Ye Qingyun fell asleep before quietly holding her.
The sound of the blanket being pulled back began, and a figure sat up, then rolled over and sat on his waist.
Ye Qingyun looked down at Gu Chenyuan from his high position. Although it was too dark for him to see anything clearly, he still put on a serious face: "You think that I'm just playing around with you, which is why you don't care about your own life or death, is that it?"
Ye Qingyun's words were not wrong, so Gu Chenyuan did not refute them. He simply changed his posture slightly so that Ye Qingyun would not sit on his awkward parts.
Ye Qingyun pinched Gu Chenyuan to vent her anger, then crossed her arms and said, "I don't care, if you want to conquer the world, go ahead, but make sure you're safe, otherwise... otherwise how am I supposed to live with my child? A widow and an orphan, aren't we just easy targets for bullies? You, as the father, need to take responsibility and live a good life."
As Ye Qingyun spoke, she wiped away imaginary tears with her hand, her tone filled with sorrow.
Gu Chenyuan: "...?"
Gu Chenyuan suspected that his ears were malfunctioning, or that his ears had a mind of their own, allowing him to hear words that Ye Qingyun had never said.
Ye Qingyun was also forced into this situation. He believed he had treated Gu Chenyuan with complete honesty, yet Gu Chenyuan remained indecisive. He could only devise another method to force Gu Chenyuan to live out of a sense of responsibility.
Ye Qingyun thought and thought but couldn't come up with a good idea, so he asked the system for help, asking how people in other worlds would handle this situation.
The system then told him that, according to their research, when one partner is pregnant, the other's sense of responsibility significantly increases. There was even a world where the protagonist, in order to prevent the main character from suffering the tragic fate of being pregnant and giving birth alone, desperately survived.
Ye Qingyun thought this method was brilliant, especially suitable for Gu Chenyuan. With Gu Chenyuan's sense of responsibility, in order to prevent him from having to raise the child alone and suffer so much, he would definitely crawl back even if he only had one breath left.
Well, the only problem now is that he can't get pregnant. But what does it matter? He can make something up and stall for time. He can then take the opportunity to find a loophole in the ability decomposer. Even if he can't find a loophole, he can still artificially create a child to keep Gu Chenyuan from leaving.
Ye Qingyun covered her stomach with one hand and wiped away her tears as she looked at Gu Chenyuan: "I'm having such a hard time. The baby isn't even born yet, and the father of my child is going to the battlefield. He doesn't care at all about how I'm going to survive. I'm suffering so much!"
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, she leaned down and lay on top of Gu Chenyuan. Gu Chenyuan reached out and embraced Ye Qingyun, his voice still filled with disbelief: "We didn't... you know... how come..."
How did I suddenly get a child?
Ye Qingyun began to lie through her teeth: "Our clan has a special constitution. Regardless of gender, as long as you hold hands with someone you like, you may get pregnant."
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, he felt it was too absurd, but he still forced himself to say, "In this clan, holding hands is equivalent to sleeping together. We've held hands so many times, which is equivalent to sleeping together dozens or even hundreds of times! And we didn't use any protection. I think it's very likely that I..."
Ye Qingyun couldn't finish speaking, so he buried his face in Gu Chenyuan's shoulder in embarrassment, waiting for Gu Chenyuan's reaction.
Gu Chenyuan is so smart, he might see through his lie at a glance, or perhaps Gu Chenyuan knows that there is no race in this world that can get pregnant just by holding hands, so he doesn't believe him.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingyun felt Gu Chenyuan's supernatural power gently envelop him, lifting him up and taking him away from Gu Chenyuan's embrace, before laying him flat on the bed.
Ye Qingyun: "!!!"
He was exposed as expected!
Gu Chenyuan said in a muffled voice, "You...you shouldn't sleep on your stomach, it's bad for your health."
Ye Qingyun: "Huh? Oh right, you're right, I'll lie flat, I'll lie flat."
Gu Chenyuan actually believed it! Falling in love really does make people's IQ drop to zero, it's true!
Ye Qingyun clutched her stomach, reached out and groped for Gu Chenyuan's hand, trying to tell him about their future plans: "You have responsibilities now, so you can't take your life lightly anymore, understand?"
Gu Chenyuan responded sullenly, his hand clasped with Ye Qingyun's opening and closing, as if he wanted to hold her hand but dared not.
Just as Ye Qingyun was confused, she heard Gu Chenyuan say, "Having that kind of behavior during pregnancy is not good for your health, so you should... restrain yourself."
Ye Qingyun: "...?"
In what aspect? Which aspect?
Ye Qingyun was puzzled, but then suddenly came to her senses.
Yes, he's now the kind of guy who sees shaking hands with someone he likes as equivalent to sleeping with them, so his act of taking Gu Chenyuan's hand now, isn't that...
Isn't that tantamount to actively seeking pleasure?
Gu Chenyuan must think he's someone with a huge demand for that kind of thing, someone who's incredibly horny.
He's truly innocent and can't clear his name no matter what!
However, since things had come to this, Ye Qingyun didn't want to be unable to even hold Gu Chenyuan's hand in the future, so she continued to make up stories: "It's okay, it won't affect anything as long as I don't touch your stomach, I just want to hold your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingyun noticed Gu Chenyuan's long, strong fingers inserting one by one between his fingers and then forcefully gripping his hand.
This was originally a fairly ordinary gesture, but when Ye Qingyun thought of his previous comment that shaking hands was like going to bed, she immediately felt that Gu Chenyuan's actions had other meanings.
His thoughts are truly despicable; he needs to reflect on them.
Gu Chenyuan suddenly asked, "Do you like this position?"
Ye Qingyun was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "I like it."
Gu Chenyuan: "Mm."
Ye Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it wasn't him who was despicable, but that Gu Chenyuan really thought that way. He was relieved.
With the problem temporarily solved, drowsiness overwhelmed Ye Qingyun, who forced herself to stay awake and instructed Gu Chenyuan, "Promise me that you will do everything in your power to ensure your safety, and you are not allowed to cause any trouble during this period."
Gu Chenyuan: "Okay."
Relieved by the satisfactory response, Ye Qingyun finally felt at ease, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Chenyuan listened to the soft breathing and felt the warmth in his palm. He slowly turned his head to look at the sleeping person beside him.
Ye Qingyun has long eyelashes, and her peaceful sleeping face carries a sense of tranquility that makes her endlessly captivating.
Gu Chenyuan's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Ye Qingyun's abdomen.
The ground there was still very flat, and there was no indication of the existence of another life.
Gu Chenyuan released Ye Qingyun's hand, got up and covered Ye Qingyun with the slightly crooked blanket.
The news Ye Qingyun brought was shocking. He had never imagined he would have children, nor did he like them; in fact, he didn't particularly like people of any age.
Gu Chenyuan's emotions were complicated.
He was a possessive and emotionally extreme person. He didn't want Ye Qingyun's attention to be shared with others. The thought that Ye Qingyun might be spending all her time with someone else, even if that person was their child, made Gu Chenyuan angry.
However, with this child, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, Ye Qingyun will live a good life with him. Even if she finds someone she likes more, Ye Qingyun will most likely still choose him.
His long-held dream... seems to actually have a chance to come true.
