Ye Qingyun was taking a nice bath when suddenly an embarrassing feeling welled up from his back, catching him off guard and causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
The sensation on his back was peculiar, as if several thin vines, coated with some kind of spring medicine, were gently rubbing against him. And that spring medicine, through his skin, slowly seeped into his bloodstream, bringing a kind of indescribable itch.
Especially...especially that area below the tailbone, it just...
What's going on? Could it be that he's in a different world, and his constitution has changed, turning him into an omega who goes into heat regularly?
Is he in heat?
Ye Qingyun was terrified, but what terrified him even more was that the bathroom door behind him was pushed open, and the cold and aloof leader stood outside.
Ye Qingyun was genuinely frightened. He got up and was hugged tightly again.
The man held him, calling his name, as if he were clinging to a piece of driftwood in a raging torrent, or as if he were holding onto the most precious treasure in his life.
Oh my god, what happened? Did he trip and fall and end up in a parallel world?
Gu Chenyuan gripped Ye Qingyun's waist, wanting nothing more than to hold him tightly in his arms and make them one.
Light Clouds... his Light Clouds...
Gu Chenyuan turned his head and kissed his way up Ye Qingyun's fair and slender neck, leaving his mark.
Gu Chenyuan kissed Ye Qingyun's chin, about to kiss her slightly parted red lips, pouring out his longing with the most intense kiss.
His kiss missed; Ye Qingyun turned her head away, avoiding his kiss.
Gu Chenyuan subconsciously hugged Ye Qingyun tighter, and his feverish mind finally cooled down a little.
Held in Ye Qingyun's arms, she wasn't as relaxed as usual; instead, her whole body stiffened. Her face no longer held the smile of someone awaiting a kiss, but rather a look of bewilderment and astonishment.
...Ye Qingyun no longer recognized him. In Ye Qingyun's eyes, he was no different from anyone else.
"Let go of me!" Ye Qingyun reached out to push away the person who was hugging him, but in that instant, he was hugged even tighter. The leader seemed to have used all his strength to finally let go of him.
However, Ye Qingyun overestimated himself. He didn't have the strength to stand up at all. As soon as he left that embrace, his legs went weak and he fell back down.
Oh no, this leader is definitely his destined alpha, and they are 100% compatible. That's why he felt so comfortable being held by this person, and he couldn't help but want to rub against this leader. He has never been such a wanton person!
And this aloof leader, who clearly loved his deceased wife deeply, lost his mind due to being aroused and did something so out of character for her!
What will happen to them next? Will he be marked? Will he lose his mind and pester someone for three days and three nights?
He couldn't accept the idea of marriage before love; he preferred that when two people were deeply in love, they would naturally develop a relationship.
Ye Qingyun struggled to stand up straight, overwhelmed by immense fear. He wanted to find someone to ask for help to ease his anxiety, and the leader who was holding him seemed inexplicably reliable.
Even though reason told him that this leader was not a good person to ask for help, Ye Qingyun still grabbed the leader's sleeve and choked out, "Please don't mark me, okay? Give me a pheromone suppressant, please!"
Gu Chenyuan: "...What?"
Looking at the inexplicable expression on Gu Chenyuan's face, Ye Qingyun realized that she might have misunderstood something.
He changed his story, and said with tears in his eyes, "My back feels really strange, could you please call a doctor for me?"
Gu Chenyuan: "...No need to call a doctor."
Black Mist carried in a mirror and placed it behind Ye Qingyun. Ye Qingyun turned her head and saw the brightly colored tattoos covering her entire back.
"What...what is this?" Ye Qingyun asked in shock.
“It’s a tattoo,” Gu Chenyuan replied.
Ye Qingyun then asked, "Why do I have tattoos?"
Ye Qingyun realized the stupidity of his question as soon as he asked it. He didn't know where the tattoo came from, and the leader certainly wouldn't know either.
Gu Chenyuan's gaze also lingered on the mirror. Ye Qingyun's snow-white skin still had some powder from being steamed by the heat. She was nestled against him, obediently, just like before.
But... things are different now.
Gu Chenyuan said slowly, "You don't remember anything at all?"
What should he remember?
Ye Qingyun shook his head, his chin lifted, forced to look into the leader's eyes. Those dark eyes were unfathomable, seemingly containing boundless love and sorrow. The leader said, word by word, "Then remember this: the tattoo is because... I love you."
Ye Qingyun: "!!!"
Ye Qingyun's heart skipped a beat at the confession, but he quickly regained his senses.
Impossible! He's never seen this leader before! He's only been here for less than two days!
Gu Chenyuan said, "If you don't remember, I'll tell you slowly."
Ye Qingyun was picked up and carried out of the bathroom, placed on the bed, and while applying medicine to the spot where Ye Xingyun had accidentally fallen, he recounted past events to Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun heard an extremely unbelievable story.
In this story, he and the chieftain were deeply in love, and in the end, he willingly sacrificed his own life to save the chieftain from danger. After reincarnation, the two met again, but he remembered nothing of it.
Ye Qingyun was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.
That can't be right. Could it be that the leader has mistaken someone for someone else?
Ye Qingyun: "This leader..."
“Don’t call me leader, call me by my name,” the man said. “Gu Chenyuan.”
Gu Chenyuan.
This name sounds familiar.
Isn't this... isn't this the name of the main character in one of the books he was reading?
He remembered that the protagonist of that book, Gu Chenyuan, was extremely aloof and remained single until the very end.
There was indeed a cannon fodder character with the same name as him in that book. Could he have transmigrated into that cannon fodder character?
If that's really the case, how could a cannon fodder like him possibly attract the protagonist's attention? Gu Chenyuan is the absolute number one single person in the alliance; the number of people he's rejected could circle the stars twice. How could he possibly have the ability to hook up with the aloof protagonist?
Impossible! He knows his own limitations!
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Gu Chenyuan didn't give him a chance to refuse, but instead spoke first: "Qingyun, you just have lost your memory, but all of this is real. Think about it, if it weren't you, why would the tattoo appear on your back?"
Ye Qingyun felt that this could not be used as a basis for judgment at all: "Since the bloodline restriction has been lifted, the growth of the tattoo may not follow the original rules. What if this tattoo, like you, mistook someone else and came here?"
Gu Chenyuan: "..."
Gu Chenyuan continued, "There are many other clues. Your appearance, mannerisms, handwriting, and personality are exactly the same as his. These can all be used as a basis for judgment."
Ye Qingyun fell silent, looking somewhat hesitant.
Is he really that person?
He was indeed very attracted to Gu Chenyuan, it was love at first sight, and he really wanted to be with Gu Chenyuan. However, Gu Chenyuan had a lover, and he didn't want to be someone else's substitute.
Moreover, Gu Chenyuan left such a deep impression on him in the original work that he simply didn't think he had the ability to win Gu Chenyuan's heart.
The things Gu Chenyuan has listed so far are not enough to completely convince him; personality and appearance are things that others can imitate and fake.
Unless, there is a special one—
Gu Chenyuan: "No one has ever been able to solve the problems you've done. The person who has mastered those theoretical books is a genius, undoubtedly the best in interstellar space."
Ye Qingyun blurted out subconsciously, "Such a smart person, the number one in the interstellar world, isn't that me?"
Ye Qingyun: "...This statement seems to make sense."
He never believed that anyone could imitate his talent, as that was a thousand times harder than imitating his appearance.
In other words, if you have his intelligence, why should you compromise yourself to do this kind of thing? Wouldn't it be better to earn the honor you deserve?
He believed it; it was so convincing!
No wonder he found Gu Chenyuan agreeable, now I understand!
Gu Chenyuan must have been impressed by his high intelligence, right?
A smile appeared in Gu Chenyuan's eyes as he leaned closer, wanting to kiss Ye Qingyun's lips.
Ye Qingyun stopped Gu Chenyuan's movement and coughed awkwardly, "Chief, even if what you said is true, we've only known each other for one day. I... I can't just treat you as my closest person all at once and accept this action."
Gu Chenyuan was stunned. His mind finally calmed down completely, and he remembered something.
...Yes, to Qingyun, they are now just two strangers.
Last time, he used the bloodline restriction to win Qingyun's sympathy, allowing her to stay by his side and eventually be with him.
This time, without the bloodline constraint, even if Qingyun flies far away, it won't have any fatal impact on him. So, will Qingyun, who has lost all her memories, still stay?
If Qingyun is unwilling, then he can only...
Dark thoughts began to grow in his mind. This time, without the constraints of bloodline, he could think about Ye Qingyun without feeling any pain, and so his dark thoughts rapidly increased.
He could only part ways with Qingyun once; he would absolutely not allow them to separate.
This time, the entire galaxy is under his control; even if Qingyun wants to leave…
Ye Qingyun was unaware of Gu Chenyuan's thoughts, and he continued, "I think it's better if we don't become a couple yet."
The black mist spread silently where Ye Qingyun couldn't see, and Gu Chenyuan tightened his grip on Ye Qingyun's hand.
If she could do it all over again, Ye Qingyun really... wouldn't want him anymore.
It's okay, it's okay. He had expected this outcome. Even if Ye Qingyun didn't want him, he would still continue to pursue her.
He wouldn't use any methods that might harm Ye Qingyun. Ye Qingyun couldn't escape his cage; he had a lifetime to slowly pursue her until she turned around and looked at him.
Ye Qingyun said apologetically, "Although we're practically an old married couple to you, I can't just jump straight into that state. Just keep me company, and let's start with the first step!"
Gu Chenyuan: "...The first step?"
“Yes, the first step.” Ye Qingyun nodded seriously. “How did we start? Did I pursue you or did you pursue me… Ugh, why am I asking such a pointless question?”
It must have been him who actively pursued Gu Chenyuan. Could it be that Gu Chenyuan pursued him? That's wishful thinking.
Gu Chenyuan couldn't believe what he had just heard. He looked at Ye Qingyun, and Ye Qingyun looked at him and smiled. Her light amber eyes were incredibly sweet.
Ye Qingyun hooked her little finger around Gu Chenyuan's: "You go back first. I'll think about how to pursue him tonight, and we'll officially start tomorrow."
The intertwined fingers captivated Gu Chenyuan's entire being. He wanted to kiss those soft lips fiercely, to make those lips utter more beautiful sounds, but all his thoughts were hidden in a kiss that landed on his fingertips.
“You don’t need to think about these things. I forced myself to… pursue you,” Gu Chenyuan said softly. “Give me another chance.”
Ye Qingyun didn't need to pursue him; she only needed to watch him smile and hold his outstretched hand when he came over, and he would be content.
