Ye Qingyun felt a slight stinging sensation on his lips; it was from Gu Chenyuan's forceful kiss that made him wince.
Ye Qingyun did not push Gu Chenyuan away; he responded gently until Gu Chenyuan's movements softened.
After a while, their intertwined lips separated.
"Why are you suddenly so angry?" Ye Qingyun patted Gu Chenyuan's back, pretending to be aggrieved, "You bit me so hard."
Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes to look at his lips, reached out and gently stroked his lower lip with his thumb.
Gu Chenyuan's eyes were gloomy. Ye Qingyun didn't know Gu Chenyuan's specific thoughts and could only make a rough guess.
Gu Chenyuan must have been angry because he discovered that he could actually remember Pu Tian's name and was even secretly searching for Pu Tian's name in private.
Putting yourself in his shoes, you would get angry too if Gu Chenyuan acted that way.
But how could he explain to Gu Chenyuan that he really had no impression of Pu Tian at all?
After thinking it over, Ye Qingyun decided to tell Gu Chenyuan the truth. He couldn't bear to let Gu Chenyuan misunderstand him.
Ye Qingyun hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, let me explain, I really don't remember him."
This statement was clearly not credible. Gu Chenyuan looked at him, his dark eyes devoid of any light: "Qingyun... I will try my best to believe everything you say, but I cannot believe this statement."
Ye Qingyun panicked: "No, I really didn't lie—"
Gu Chenyuan said in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, I was prepared for this a long time ago. Even if you remember him but not me... it doesn't matter."
He had known for a long time that he didn't hold the same position in Qingyun's heart as Pu Tian. His previous loss of composure was simply because he harbored expectations.
After losing her memory, Ye Qingyun's heart was pure white; she had never had any romantic experience, nor had she ever fallen in love with anyone else. They were each other's only one, and the most precious people in each other's hearts.
This was a fantasy he had kept buried deep in his heart all along.
Now that illusion has been shattered, the cruel reality behind it is revealed once again—he is not the most precious person in Ye Qingyun's heart; he is just an insignificant passerby, not worthy of Ye Qingyun's attention.
"How could you be prepared? You're way too prepared!" Ye Qingyun laughed angrily. "Listen to what you're saying. Does it sound like nothing's wrong?"
Gu Chenyuan looked at him silently, and Ye Qingyun continued, "If this counts as remembering, then of course I remember you too. I remember you the most."
Gu Chenyuan frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand what he meant.
Ye Qingyun continued by naming several supporting characters from the novel. These characters were all suitors of Gu Chenyuan in the original story, and their timelines all took place after Gu Chenyuan met Ye Qingyun. As she spoke, Ye Qingyun observed Gu Chenyuan's reaction.
Gu Chenyuan's expression changed slightly. He looked at Ye Qingyun, his voice becoming somewhat urgent: "You remember all of this? You've recalled everything?"
Ye Qingyun shook her head: "You could say you remember, or you could say you don't."
Gu Chenyuan frowned even more deeply, his eyes filled with doubt as he awaited Ye Qingyun's answer.
Ye Qingyun grasped Gu Chenyuan's hand, looked into his eyes, and said to him, word by word, "What I'm about to say might be a little contrary to your conventional thinking, but you must believe me."
Gu Chenyuan smiled, neither saying yes nor no.
If we're talking about things that defy imagination, then Ye Qingyun's previous claim that she had the ability to get pregnant just by shaking hands was already an absurd statement, and he had believed it then. What could be more unacceptable than this this time?
Ye Qingyun's mind raced as she considered what to say. To say that this world was a novel would be too outrageous. It would be better to simplify it. Just tell Gu Chenyuan that he knew what was going to happen, and that would be telling the truth.
“When I was a child, I often dreamed that I was reading a book,” Ye Qingyun said, looking into Gu Chenyuan’s eyes. “I have a deep impression of this book. Even if I don’t remember things from before, I still remember the plot of that book in my dreams.”
Gu Chenyuan listened quietly without interrupting Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun said nervously, "In that book, you are the protagonist, while I am just a cannon fodder who will die early on."
I wonder how Gu Chenyuan will react to this. Don't think he's lying; he's telling the truth.
Gu Chenyuan's face darkened, as if a sore spot had been touched, and he said sternly, "You won't die."
Ye Qingyun was taken aback by Gu Chenyuan's reaction and felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She smiled and continued, "I know I will live with you."
Gu Chenyuan was finally satisfied and continued to listen to Ye Qingyun's explanation.
Ye Qingyun summarized her role in the book and said to Gu Chenyuan, "In that book, I was a vicious cannon fodder character who hated you. I liked a guy named Pu Tian, but Pu Tian liked you. You didn't like him, so Pu Tian tried to plead for him in front of you. But you didn't like me either. I was disliked by everyone and ended up becoming a nuisance, so Pu Tian killed me to please you."
Ye Qingyun observed Gu Chenyuan's expression and asked, "Is this how our relationship is?"
Ye Qingyun's words were similar to reality, yet different in many ways, filled with a strange feeling. Gu Chenyuan couldn't explain this feeling in detail, but could only point out the errors: "No, I like you, and I would never let him kill you."
“I know, with you here, how could I possibly die? I just wanted to tell you,” Ye Qingyun said, “I really don’t remember him. I’m not lying to you. I searched his name just to see if it really matches up.”
Gu Chenyuan slowly let out a sigh of relief.
It has to be said that this explanation made him feel much better.
The book Ye Qingyun mentioned might be his hidden, undeveloped supernatural ability, which allows him to predict the future, though not with great accuracy.
An ordinary person's attention would likely be completely drawn to the book, prompting Ye Qingyun to continue recounting what would happen next, in order to glean some insight into the future.
But this was not important to Gu Chenyuan. He only knew that Pu Tian was not that important to Ye Qingyun either, and Ye Qingyun did not think of Pu Tian at all.
They are all the same, and that's enough.
It was getting late, and Gu Chenyuan, who thought he was already satisfied, wanted to take Ye Qingyun out to eat, but Ye Qingyun stopped him again.
Ye Qingyun glared at Gu Chenyuan with exasperation. He hadn't even bothered to ask any further questions. Wasn't asking who was more important, her or her ex, a must-do? Why was Gu Chenyuan doing the opposite?
Is it that they disdain to ask, or that they dare not ask?
Gu Chenyuan didn't ask, but he insisted on finding out for himself.
Ye Qingyun grabbed Gu Chenyuan's arm to stop him from leaving: "Chenyuan, do you have photos or videos of Pu Tian? Let me see them?"
Gu Chenyuan paused, his tone turning cold: "No nonsense allowed."
"I'm not being silly!" Ye Qingyun walked around to the front of Gu Chenyuan, cupped Gu Chenyuan's face, and made Gu Chenyuan look directly at him.
Under the bright lights, Gu Chenyuan could clearly see every subtle expression on Ye Qingyun's face, as well as every look hidden deep in her eyes.
And now, the owner of this face is looking at him, every expression of which is filled with affection.
Gu Chenyuan heard Ye Qingyun say, "Chenyuan, I think I like you the most, and no one else can replace you. Give me a chance to prove this idea, okay?"
Gu Chenyuan stared at Ye Qingyun in a daze, his heart feeling warm and sweet as if it were being nourished by honey.
He was able to hear Ye Qingyun say those words in his lifetime; it was all worth it.
“Some things don’t need to be questioned,” Gu Chenyuan said softly. “I’m glad, Qingyun.”
Ye Qingyun was so angry she almost died on the spot, and even wanted to crack open Gu Chenyuan's head to see what he was thinking.
Forget it, if reasoning doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to force!
Not far away was a soft single sofa. Ye Qingyun pushed Gu Chenyuan and made him sit on the sofa. She then sat down on Gu Chenyuan's lap, pressed down on Gu Chenyuan's hands, and forcibly used Gu Chenyuan's terminal.
He pressed his fingerprint on it, and Gu Chenyuan's terminal was successfully opened.
It's possible that the information Gu Chenyuan wants can be found on his terminal.
While searching, Ye Qingyun threatened Gu Chenyuan, "What's wrong with letting me see? If you get in my way, I'll assume you're guilty and have some shady secrets on the terminal, and that you're keeping a mistress on the side! Then I'll ignore you!"
This threat proved very effective against Gu Chenyuan; at least Ye Qingyun was able to follow Gu Chenyuan's instructions to look up information smoothly.
Ye Qingyun first searched for Pu Tian's name in Gu Chenyuan's personal storage, but the result was blank.
Ye Qingyun then searched her own name again, and this time, just as many results came up.
...Could it be that Gu Chenyuan has gathered up everything related to him?
With this question in mind, Ye Qingyun continued his search, and his efforts paid off when he finally found it.
It was a video numbered 1. Ye Qingyun clicked on it and saw her own still somewhat awkward face.
This is an excerpt from a surveillance video. Ye Qingyun could tell at a glance that his face was still relatively young back then, while the man in this video was looking in a certain direction, and the eagerness in his eyes was something he could immediately see through.
What is he looking at?
Soon, the target he was looking at moved into the surveillance range and entered the frame for a second, allowing him to see the person's face clearly.
With blond hair, a carefree and scumbag expression, and his fanaticism, it's obvious who this person is.
Ye Qingyun: "..."
No feelings of affection welled up from my heart; my only thought was—Ugh! What disgusting stuff! Bah! Bah! Bah!
Ye Qingyun could sense that Gu Chenyuan's gaze was fixed on him, and when she saw a change in his expression, Gu Chenyuan tensed up.
“Chen Yuan,” Ye Qingyun said, closing Gu Chenyuan’s terminal. “I have something I want to tell you.”
“No need to say anything,” Gu Chenyuan replied immediately. His expression was somewhat stiff, and he didn’t look at Ye Qingyun’s face, but stared at the armrest of the sofa. “Get up and eat first.”
Gu Chenyuan wanted to pick Ye Qingyun up. He didn't want to hear what Ye Qingyun was going to say next. He hoped that something would happen to distract Ye Qingyun immediately.
He is not a forgiving person. If Ye Qingyun were to tell him that she prefers other people to him, he probably wouldn't be able to control his emotions very well.
He wanted to present his best self to Ye Qingyun, but once Ye Qingyun said those words, he wasn't sure what he would do.
"I'm going to say this, don't try to interrupt," Ye Qingyun said, slapping the armrest.
Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes. No matter what Ye Qingyun said later, he had to pretend he didn't hear it, control his emotions, and not frighten Ye Qingyun any further.
No matter what Ye Qingyun said, he...
Gu Chenyuan heard Ye Qingyun's voice, which was full of certainty: "I like you, and no matter what, I will always like you the most."
