The moment the enemy attacked, Gu Chenyuan thought of Ye Qingyun.
Whether in terms of looks or talent, Ye Qingyun is top-notch. Plus, he can't fight, making him an absolute hot commodity.
He didn't care whether the others on the ship were alive or dead, but Ye Qingyun had to be safe and sound.
Gu Chenyuan stepped out of the room. He didn't know where Ye Qingyun lived, but given her looks and talent, she should live on the same floor as him.
Gu Chenyuan had a well-thought-out plan, but after searching the entire floor, he still couldn't find Ye Qingyun.
Where will Ye Qingyun go?
Gu Chenyuan, his face grim, walked out of the last room and heard footsteps on the corner staircase not far away.
Gu Chenyuan retreated back into the room, half-closing the door and peeking out with one eye to observe the situation outside.
Soon, he saw one person being chased by another, who rushed up to him.
One was Ye Qingyun, whom he was looking for, and the other was a person whose face was visibly anxious.
As Gu Chenyuan watched Ye Qingyun lead the group towards his room in the opposite direction, an idea instantly formed in his mind.
Gu Chenyuan always assumed the worst about people's hearts, and he never got it wrong.
There seems to be only one possibility: why is Ye Qingyun leading a bad guy towards his room?
They wanted to push him out and make him a scapegoat.
Gu Chenyuan had certainly encountered similar situations before, but those people underestimated his strength and were all wiped out by him effortlessly.
This scene now almost overlaps with past scenes.
Gu Chenyuan smirked. He was even looking forward to Ye Qingyun's expression when she opened the door and found him not in the room.
But Ye Qingyun is still useful. He can't kill them like before, or watch them kill each other. He has to save Ye Qingyun.
Gu Chenyuan opened the door and was about to go out when he saw Ye Qingyun run past his door without looking back, giving no hint to the people chasing him, and leading the enemy away.
The scene before him intertwined with scenes from the past in his mind. Gu Chenyuan gripped the doorknob tightly and stood there, stunned.
When Gu Chenyuan came to his senses, he saw Ye Qingyun being pinned to the ground, about to face humiliation.
Even so, Ye Qingyun did not beg for mercy from that person, nor did she expose him to avoid being humiliated.
Why? Don't you dislike him?
Why not lure the enemy to him?
Gu Chenyuan couldn't figure out the answer. He killed the enemy, and watching Ye Qingyun's departing figure, he followed her without thinking.
But this time, Gu Chenyuan discovered that his current acquaintance with Ye Qingyun was not entirely due to Ye Qingyun's usefulness, but also for other reasons.
——————
Ye Qingyun noticed that Gu Chenyuan had followed him. He didn't want to talk to Gu Chenyuan for the time being, but instead carefully observed the surroundings and looked for a relatively safe place.
Strangely, whenever he wanted to go to a place that was originally filled with the sounds of fighting, it would become quiet as soon as he got a little closer.
Ye Qingyun tentatively peeked out and saw that everyone was lying crookedly on the ground, lifeless.
Ye Qingyun continued walking forward, and then discovered that wherever he wanted to go, everyone there would die before he arrived.
Ye Qingyun wasn't stupid; after a moment's thought, she understood who had made the move.
"You did this?" Ye Qingyun looked at Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan didn't speak, but his expression indicated his agreement.
Ye Qingyun gave a dismissive snort, but in reality, he was sweating profusely.
Was Gu Chenyuan in the original novel really that powerful at this point, able to control his superpowers and kill so many people remotely in an instant?
Fortunately, he was still somewhat useful to Gu Chenyuan; otherwise, if Gu Chenyuan ever disliked him and killed him in the middle of the night, no one would know.
As Ye Qingyun walked forward in thought, Gu Chenyuan suddenly spoke up: "Do you like me?"
Ye Qingyun: "...???"
Ye Qingyun looked at Gu Chenyuan with a puzzled expression, doubting whether she had just hallucinated.
Gu Chenyuan's face remained expressionless, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. Ye Qingyun confirmed, "You said I like you?"
Gu Chenyuan did not deny it.
This was the only reason he could think of for Ye Qingyun not to betray him.
Strangely, he didn't feel the usual disgust he felt when he knew someone had feelings for him.
Ye Qingyun: "..."
Ye Qingyun was truly speechless. He knew this was a melodramatic tale about a charming and popular man, and that Gu Chenyuan was the main character, but surely Gu Chenyuan shouldn't be such a narcissistic person, thinking that everyone likes him?
Although most of the named characters in this book like Gu Chenyuan, I really don't like the character he plays.
"What are you talking about in your sleep?" Ye Qingyun asked incredulously. "How did you get the idea that I like you? In your dream?"
Ye Qingyun solemnly emphasized her position: "I hate you. If it weren't for Pu Tian, I wouldn't have come to teach you."
Gu Chenyuan remained silent. He knew, of course, that Ye Qingyun liked Pu Tian. He then asked, "Why didn't you run into my room earlier?"
The question has come full circle. Ye Qingyun didn't expect Gu Chenyuan to care so much about this issue. He couldn't possibly reveal his original thoughts, otherwise his image would completely collapse.
"Who would think of you at a time like that?" Ye Qingyun pouted. "Do you think you're so important to me that I'd think of you even when I'm running for my life? You're just being presumptuous."
After Ye Qingyun finished speaking, she continued walking forward on her own, looking completely annoyed at being side by side with Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan watched Ye Qingyun's retreating figure and pursed his lips.
That's not the case.
He knew that when people are in a crisis, their first thought is how to survive. They will not let go of any method, let alone a solution that is so easy to think of and has been delivered to them.
Considering Ye Qingyun's awkward concern for him earlier, the answer is obvious.
Ye Qingyun is an overly kind person. Although she dislikes him, her kindness prevents her from dragging him into danger during a critical moment.
Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes, remembering what his grandmother had taught him a long time ago.
If you can't stand being alone and absolutely must find someone to share your life with, then find a kind person. Even if one day you can't control yourself and fall in love with that person, a kind person won't do anything bad because of that affection.
Gu Chenyuan had never taken those words to heart before.
He could endure loneliness, never thought of finding someone to share his life with, and didn't believe in people's hearts or that there were such so-called good people in the world.
No, maybe, but he's always had bad luck, and even if he did, it wouldn't be something he could encounter.
But now he's actually encountered it.
Gu Chenyuan didn't know how he felt; only one thought flashed through his mind.
Such a person... shouldn't like the utterly useless Pu Tian.
There are clearly many more and better options.
