Ye Qingyun's voice lingered in Gu Chenyuan's mind. Gu Chenyuan's mind went blank, with only Ye Qingyun's confession echoing in his mind.
...Is he my favorite?
This is what Ye Qingyun said to that person after seeing his photo.
Gu Chenyuan's blood was boiling. He held Ye Qingyun's waist, feeling her body temperature.
"Light Clouds..."
Ye Qingyun pondered, his expression still not quite satisfied. He felt that his words just now were inaccurate, so he corrected himself, "No, I misspoke just now. I shouldn't have said that I like you the most."
Gu Chenyuan froze.
Ye Qingyun affirmed, "It should be that I only like you! That's right, I only like you."
Look at his fake acting in the video; he doesn't seem to like Pu Tian at all. There must be some mysterious force behind him threatening him to do this, which is why he's pretending to like Pu Tian.
Otherwise, how do you explain why he didn't stay put, but instead went out at a specific time according to the book, and even faked falling in love at first sight with Pu Tian?
That makes sense in the logic of the whole thing!
Moreover, it would be strange if he were reborn after time travel, without any mysterious power supporting him.
In addition, given his understanding of his many years of being single, he would never like Pu Tian, who is such a jerk. In a new place, he should focus on his studies.
All of this inconsistency points to one thing—the only person he ever truly loved was Gu Chenyuan.
The reason he didn't tell Gu Chenyuan about this before was perhaps because that mysterious force prevented him from speaking out. Now that he's been given a second chance at life, that restriction is gone.
Ye Qingyun felt confident. He looked at Gu Chenyuan, who was also looking at him. Gu Chenyuan looked like a volcano about to erupt, about to completely engulf him from head to toe, leaving not a single hair behind, completely enveloped in scorching lava.
Ye Qingyun smiled, leaned forward, and kissed Gu Chenyuan's lips.
Gu Chenyuan pulled Ye Qingyun into a tighter embrace, deepening the kiss.
He was satisfied; he was truly satisfied.
This was a wish he couldn't express, but now he heard Ye Qingyun say it out loud.
Even knowing that this couldn't be true, at least for now, Ye Qingyun only liked him.
Gu Chenyuan's heart felt like it was soaking in lukewarm water. He was at a loss, like a child who had suddenly received a large jar of candy, and could only hug Ye Qingyun.
Gu Chenyuan buried his face in Ye Qingyun's shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "...I only like you too."
Normally, after two people pour out their hearts to each other, they should naturally be happy. However, Ye Qingyun sensed something was wrong from Gu Chenyuan's demeanor, tone, and expression.
Ye Qingyun said dejectedly, "Don't you believe what I'm saying?"
Gu Chenyuan did not answer, but straightened up and silenced Ye Qingyun with a kiss.
Ye Qingyun: "..."
Did you think a kiss would stop you from answering? That just shows you don't trust me!
Come to think of it, he's currently suffering from amnesia, so what he says might not be very credible. Besides, Gu Chenyuan witnessed his affection for Pu Tian firsthand, so it's too difficult to convince Gu Chenyuan that his affection is fake with just a few words.
Ye Qingyun broke free from the kiss and tried to reason with Gu Chenyuan, stating the facts: "Don't you think my expression was fake when I liked Pu Tian in the past?"
Gu Chenyuan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, his voice sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth: "...very enthusiastic."
Ye Qingyun: "..."
Where's the enthusiasm? This is obviously fake!
Ye Qingyun was unconvinced, so she selected the analysis in her mind, concealed the things that shouldn't be said, and told Gu Chenyuan everything else. Then she looked at Gu Chenyuan expectantly.
Gu Chenyuan said calmly, "Everything has its coincidences. You may not want to follow the predetermined path, but something may have happened that day that forced you to go there. You don't think you would like it..." Gu Chenyuan's tone fluctuated with displeasure. He seemed unwilling to elaborate, simply saying, "But feelings are the most irrational thing."
For a moment, Ye Qingyun wanted to give up struggling and wait until he regained his memories so that he could explain things to Gu Chenyuan. However, as soon as this thought arose, Ye Qingyun realized that something was wrong.
After he regains his memory, will Gu Chenyuan really believe the facts he tells?
What if Gu Chenyuan still thinks that he distorted the facts and fabricated the story to deceive people?
...He has amnesia, but this amnesiac identity is not entirely without its advantages.
Ye Qingyun gritted her teeth and looked directly into Gu Chenyuan's eyes: "I'm not joking. Whether in the past, present, or future, I have only ever loved you."
Gu Chenyuan touched his cheek, his annoyance fading and a smile appearing on his face.
Ye Qingyun added, "I don't want to be the only one confirming this; I want you to tell me the same thing."
This was not difficult for Gu Chenyuan. Gu Chenyuan replied, "In my past, present, and future, there has never been anyone else but you."
“That’s not what I meant,” Ye Qingyun stared unblinkingly at Gu Chenyuan, her jewel-like eyes filled with dependence and trust in him, along with a hint of grievance that was heartbreaking to see. “I don’t want to like that scumbag, I only want to like you. Please repeat those words to me yourself, okay?”
Under such a gaze, even if Ye Qingyun wanted the stars and the moon, Gu Chenyuan could pluck them for him, let alone such a simple sentence.
This strange wish, though seemingly simple and easy to fulfill, actually reveals Ye Qingyun's true affection for him.
Gu Chenyuan opened his mouth to agree, but before he could say anything, another thought flashed through his mind.
……wrong.
What Ye Qingyun meant just now was not to hear him say that he had never liked anyone else, but to hear him say that he had never liked Pu Tian.
As long as Ye Qingyun is happy, it doesn't really matter what he says. But—Ye Qingyun is not a normal person now. Ye Qingyun has a brain disease. If Ye Qingyun is deceived, he will feel disgusted with him after regaining his memory.
If what Ye Qingyun said is true, and he told Ye Qingyun that he had never liked Pu Tian and had only liked him, this behavior can be considered a rather serious emotional deception.
It was the doctor who later reminded him that even if it wasn't intentional deception, but rather false information conveyed by the amnesiac, if he didn't deny or correct it, but instead expressed agreement, then it would still be considered deception.
A serious deception can only have one outcome—Ye Qingyun will develop an unhideable and indelible disgust for him.
This is a poisonous candy; although it tastes sweet, the consequences of eating it are severe.
This time, he was unable to fulfill Ye Qingyun's wish.
Gu Chenyuan said softly, "Qingyun, make another wish."
"Why should I change it? I want this one!" Ye Qingyun insisted, her eyes filled with even more grievance.
Gu Chenyuan frowned slightly: "Qingyun, don't play dumb. You know the consequences of doing this."
Ye Qingyun knew more than once that he did this because of that consequence.
Ye Qingyun looked at Gu Chenyuan and said confidently, "Isn't that even better?"
Gu Chenyuan frowned even deeper, and Ye Qingyun continued, "Then let me ask you, what will it take for you to completely believe that what I'm saying is true? If I regain my memories and tell you that I still only love you, will you believe me? Tell me the truth!"
Gu Chenyuan stared at him in silence for a long while before finally saying succinctly, "No."
Ye Qingyun sighed inwardly.
He knew that words were not enough and seeing was believing. Given Gu Chenyuan's cautious nature, even if he explained to Gu Chenyuan after regaining his memories, even if Gu Chenyuan said he believed they were each other's only one, he would always have some doubts in his heart.
Ye Qingyun urged Gu Chenyuan, "If I don't hate you when I regain my memories, then it will prove that what I said is true! This may be the only chance to prove the truth, don't you want to try?"
Ye Qingyun tugged at Gu Chenyuan's clothes, looking at him with the most pitiful and cheesy eyes she could muster, and coaxed, "Give it a try, trust my judgment."
Gu Chenyuan stared at Ye Qingyun for a long time. It has to be said that it would be extremely easy for Ye Qingyun to bewitch him.
Gu Chenyuan felt as if he had been split in two. One half, reason, told him he absolutely could not do this. Ye Qingyun had lost her memory, so she knew nothing, while he, as someone who knew everything, should not follow Ye Qingyun's reckless actions.
The other half, following Ye Qingyun's words, released all the long-suppressed desires in their hearts.
What if Ye Qingyun is telling the truth?
What if Ye Qingyun really never liked anyone else and only liked him?
He longed to possess Ye Qingyun completely, leaving no room for anything else. He wanted to fill the void in the past and the future, and he never wanted Ye Qingyun's gaze to linger on anyone else.
This is a high-stakes gamble; win and you win everything, lose and you lose everything.
Ye Qingyun could see that Gu Chenyuan was hesitating, so he continued to fuel Gu Chenyuan's decision by suggesting, "If you feel uneasy and there's no guarantee, then I can try to research an antidote first. If I really get sick and hate you, you can just force it on me to help me get rid of this state. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"
In fact, after his impulsive act, Ye Qingyun realized that his idea was a bit rash. However, if he could really develop an antidote, then it would no longer be a rash plan, but a perfect one!
In that case, Gu Chenyuan would have no reason to refuse, right?
Gu Chenyuan remained silent, his dark eyelashes drooping, his entire body motionless, like a perfect statue.
After a long pause, Gu Chenyuan raised his eyes. His dark eyes showed no hint of the sweet confession he was about to make to Ye Qingyun, but rather a stubborn coldness: "I disagree."
Ye Qingyun was stunned. He hadn't expected this answer at all, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "...Why?"
"It's good enough now. I won't gamble with you, and I won't accept that you'll hate me." Gu Chenyuan's voice was filled with an unyielding stubbornness that no one could persuade him to change. "The information might be false, and the antidote might be useless. Even if the chance of failure is only one in ten thousand, I can't bear the consequences. I won't accept it."
