Ye Qingyun watched Gu Chenyuan walk over step by step, her expression still calm, but a raging fire was hidden in her eyes, revealing her true inner emotions.
Gu Chenyuan took the bait.
The ease with which he succeeded left Ye Qingyun with mixed feelings. Clearly, Gu Chenyuan was completely unguarded with him and genuinely liked him, which was why he could be so easily provoked.
Gu Chenyuan walked to the bedside and sat down, silently taking Ye Qingyun's hand that was casually resting on his body.
Ye Qingyun let Gu Chenyuan hold her hand and said softly, "Do you want another massage today?"
Gu Chenyuan nodded.
According to the tutorial, you should press it every day; otherwise, if you only do it sporadically, you won't get good results.
Moreover... he also liked to massage Ye Qingyun, liked to hear the sounds Ye Qingyun made as he moved, liked the watery and dreamy look in Ye Qingyun's eyes when she looked at him, and liked Ye Qingyun's blushing cheeks.
Whether out of personal motives or genuine concern, he wanted to continue this care without fail.
Ye Qingyun pulled her hand out of Gu Chenyuan's palm, then grasped Gu Chenyuan's wrist, lifted his hand, and placed it on the area on his upper body that had been massaged for several days.
"Do you think it's effective?" Ye Qingyun asked quietly.
Gu Chenyuan's fingertip touched a spot he was focusing on, and he subconsciously pressed it, causing Ye Qingyun to tremble.
Gu Chenyuan's eyes grew even deeper, and he said softly, "Yes."
Ye Qingyun was utterly shocked by her own actions, but she still gritted her teeth and delivered the lines she had prepared beforehand, finishing the performance.
Ye Qingyun glared at Gu Chenyuan and said angrily, "They're all swollen, of course they're there!"
Gu Chenyuan accepted Ye Qingyun's glare without changing his expression: "It's not swollen. I was careful with the pressure on my back."
“I said it’s there, so it is. I feel it’s swollen,” Ye Qingyun said. “I don’t care, just take a day off today.”
Gu Chenyuan was helpless. He had said he would apply medicine to Ye Qingyun the first time, but Ye Qingyun stubbornly insisted that she was fine. Now she finally admitted it.
However, he didn't lose control like the first time. The pressure should have been just right, so why was it still hurting? Was it because it was too delicate?
Gu Chenyuan wanted to get up to get some medicine for Ye Qingyun to apply, but Ye Qingyun stopped him.
"I don't need medicine. Do you think I'm that fragile? It'll recover on its own after a day's rest!" Ye Qingyun wouldn't let Gu Chenyuan leave. He put an arm around Gu Chenyuan's neck, leaned in, and breathed into Gu Chenyuan's ear. "You think you can just leave like this? You've been bothering me for so many days. Isn't it time for me to get my turn?"
Having said that, Gu Chenyuan understood what Ye Qingyun wanted to do.
She must have felt humiliated and resentful after being treated like that, so she wanted to get back at him.
"Whatever makes you happy," Gu Chenyuan said helplessly.
Ye Qingyun was happy that her plan had succeeded, but she also felt ashamed.
According to the plan, he was going to drain Gu Chenyuan dry today, and then feed him an antidote that was supposed to be a stamina potion.
In order to get Gu Chenyuan to cooperate with his actions, he even learned a phrase that would make Gu Chenyuan so ashamed that he would die on the spot.
Normally, he would never say such a thing, but the situation is special now, and no matter how ashamed he is, he has to throw away his pride.
"You made such a nice promise, but what's the reality?" Ye Qingyun gently grasped Gu Chenyuan's hand. "Can you really fulfill my wishes?"
Gu Chenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze turning dangerous.
Ye Qingyun continued to fan the flames: "When I helped you last time, I felt you were moving a bit too fast... Shouldn't you prove yourself?"
Actually, the last time was the first time he helped Gu Chenyuan with that thing. Gu Chenyuan was excited and rushed things, which he could completely understand. But Ye Qingyun just wanted to provoke Gu Chenyuan and arouse his competitive spirit.
Gu Chenyuan grasped Ye Qingyun's hand, preventing him from moving any further, his eyes dangerous: "Nonsense, don't you know how you are feeling?"
“You wouldn’t understand,” Ye Qingyun looked up at Gu Chenyuan, her warm eyes appearing like solidified honey in the dim light, “Even if we can’t go all the way, you can… I can help you in other ways…”
Ye Qingyun leaned close to Gu Chenyuan's ear and whispered a few words. After speaking, he gently rubbed Gu Chenyuan's fair earlobe. He could clearly feel that Gu Chenyuan's body was becoming increasingly stiff, as if he was restraining himself, or as if he was on the verge of exploding.
“Doing this won’t hurt me,” Ye Qingyun kissed Gu Chenyuan’s lips, looked at him with affection and anticipation in her eyes, “Come on, let’s try it. I’ve wanted to play with you for so long.”
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, she heard a sigh from Gu Chenyuan.
The sigh was gentle, and Gu Chenyuan's body was no longer tense, as if the string that had been holding his reason had snapped.
Ye Qingyun heard Gu Chenyuan say in a hoarse voice, "I'll grant your wish."
Ye Qingyun was overjoyed and stroked Gu Chenyuan's face with a smile.
In this way, the plan is half successful!
The remaining steps are not difficult; he will definitely succeed.
A sharp alarm suddenly sounded, and a dense array of red lights appeared in the previously dark sky outside the window—the lights of several spaceships flying by.
The ambiguous atmosphere was instantly broken. Gu Chenyuan wrapped Ye Qingyun's clothes around her body, then waved his hand, drawing all the curtains in the house to prevent outsiders from peeking into the room.
Gu Chenyuan closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then his expression darkened: "A lot of people have come."
The spaceships were far apart, and that fleeting glimpse couldn't reveal Ye Qingyun's destination, but a sense of unease still welled up in her heart.
Theoretically, the royal family shouldn't be able to find them so quickly, but what if they really were sent by the royal family to find them? He hasn't fully figured out the superpower decomposition machine yet, and he hasn't come up with the most perfect method. Safety first, they should try to find a way to escape secretly first.
Ye Qingyun tugged at Gu Chenyuan's sleeve, wanting to tell him her thoughts, but she heard Gu Chenyuan's face darken and a faint murderous aura emanating from him.
"Calm down!" Ye Qingyun advised. "I know you're always bothered by them and don't like them, but getting angry won't solve anything. Let's bide our time, figure out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and then deal with them, minimizing casualties as much as possible, okay? I hope both of us survive!"
Gu Chenyuan held Ye Qingyun's hand, his murderous aura gradually subsiding: "I'll listen to you."
Ye Qingyun's original plan was to use the jammer to hide herself and Gu Chenyuan as much as possible, then leave the place, and wait until everything was ready before declaring war on the enemy.
However, when Ye Qingyun arrived at the place where all the equipment was placed, she found that all the high-tech instruments were in a state of chaos, unable to even send a message. Only one monitor was still stubbornly operating.
Ye Qingyun was taken aback, but quickly realized that the abnormality of these instruments must be due to something interfering with them.
Ye Qingyun had heard of such a thing that could render all defensive technologies ineffective, but that thing should be in the military, under strict guard, and could not be used without the emperor's and general's permission. How could it be here?
...unless the person coming is not only from the royal family, but also from the military.
The spaceship in the distance began to land, and Ye Qingyun heard the roar of such a large mechanical object, which could wake a sleeping person directly from their sleep.
Through the monitor, Ye Qingyun saw people starting to jump off the spaceship. They dispersed and headed towards the nearest houses, banging on the doors.
"Who is it!" one of the homeowners shouted angrily from behind the door. "Let me tell you, trespassing is illegal. Be careful, or I'll sue you!"
But his warning had no effect whatsoever. After the person who knocked on the door finished speaking, he touched the door with something, and the door opened with a click.
"Please cooperate," the soldier who broke into the house said coldly. "We are apprehending a high-profile fugitive, and we suspect he is hiding in a certain house. Please cooperate with our work to avoid accidental injury."
"Fugitive? What fugitive do I have here?" Despite saying this, the man no longer dared to be so arrogant and allowed the soldier to search his house.
Ye Qingyun couldn't see what happened after he entered the house, and it wasn't of any reference value. He was just about to change the subject of his surveillance when he heard a knock on the door again.
This time, it was their door that was being knocked on.
"Open the door! I haven't inspected this house!" the man standing in the doorway shouted. "I'll count to three. If you don't open the door, I will legally force my way in!"
Ye Qingyun gripped Gu Chenyuan's hand tightly; he still felt somewhat nervous in the face of such a situation.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you," Gu Chenyuan comforted him softly. "You stay here, I'll be right back."
"No, I'll go with you!" Ye Qingyun refused vehemently.
What if Gu Chenyuan ran into the weapon specifically designed to target him as soon as he stepped out, and was then unexpectedly killed?
He absolutely had to go with them; if anything unexpected happened, he could at least take a blow for Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan tacitly approved of Ye Qingyun following him. He shielded Ye Qingyun behind him and then walked towards the door.
The soldier standing at the door was clearly impatient and tried to force the door open, but the tool he used to open the door was immediately corroded and melted as soon as it touched the door, and the door showed no sign of being opened.
There's a problem!
The thought flashed through the soldier's mind. He took a few steps back, intending to leave and run to a safe place before reporting this strange incident to his superiors.
However, before he could run two steps, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then he knew nothing more.
Ye Qingyun stood behind, watching Gu Chenyuan swiftly and decisively deal with a soldier. After taking a deep breath, she squatted down and picked up the contents of the bag the soldier was carrying.
One of the items looked familiar. Ye Qingyun fiddled with it for a moment and confirmed that it was a miniature version of the surveillance cameras that hung high above various planets, used to locate and monitor Gu Chenyuan. This device, however, was primarily used to confirm whether he and Gu Chenyuan were indeed the people they were looking for.
Ye Qingyun flipped through the pages again and saw a completely black device that resembled a terminal.
Ye Qingyun pressed a button, and the screen lit up, displaying a line of text—
The death report of the holder has been sent. Due to the special circumstances, the superiors have been notified immediately for further action!
The characters have changed again.
—Beep! The general has received the report and is on his way!
