Ye Qingyun was well aware of his poor combat skills, which was why he wanted to find a safe place to hide. However, after searching, he found that no matter where he went, it was safe—as long as Gu Chenyuan was willing to follow him and protect him.
Ye Qingyun knew this principle, but he didn't think Gu Chenyuan would do this, so he hurriedly looked for a safe place.
But now...
Ye Qingyun secretly turned his head to look back and saw Gu Chenyuan about three steps behind him, his dark, ancient well-like eyes staring at him, instantly giving away his secret glance.
Ye Qingyun was slightly embarrassed and subconsciously asked in a gruff voice, "Why are you following me?"
Gu Chenyuan's face showed helplessness: "I'm protecting you. You can't get hurt." Gu Chenyuan paused for a moment, looked at Ye Qingyun, and slowly said, "In special circumstances, just tell me who you want me to kill, and I can grant your request."
Ye Qingyun was a little surprised that his knowledge was so important that Gu Chenyuan was willing to watch over him closely to prevent him from getting into trouble.
My goodness, knowledge truly can change one's destiny!
Ye Qingyun immediately straightened his back and quickened his pace. Relying on Gu Chenyuan's protection, he swaggered towards the restaurant.
Along the way, Gu Chenyuan indiscriminately killed everyone he encountered, whether they were enemies or crew members of the ship, leaving Ye Qingyun with no one to boast to.
The restaurant was empty; tables and chairs were overturned, and food that hadn't yet been served was placed in the window.
Ye Qingyun grabbed a drink, pulled up a stool, and sat down at the doorway, trying to look cool.
In the martial arts dramas he watched when he was a child, the masters would calmly drink tea amidst chaos. Now he actually had that opportunity!
Two men carrying laser swords ran past the door. They were stunned when they saw Ye Qingyun sitting at the door drinking a beverage. Then they raised their laser swords, ready to use the laser to cut off Ye Qingyun's head.
However, before they could swing their lightsabers, a black mist wrapped around their throats, gently snapping them back with a crisp crack, causing them to fall instantly.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qingyun suddenly lost the taste of her drink. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to give up her dream of becoming a hero, picked up her small stool, and quietly moved to a secluded corner.
Forget it, being a quiet tech geek is fine too; fighting and killing aren't for him.
Ye Qingyun, who was looking down at the floor, was completely unaware of the fleeting smile on Gu Chenyuan's lips behind him.
Gu Chenyuan didn't sit down. He leaned against the wall and watched Ye Qingyun sitting quietly, playfully biting her straw. He felt a pang of tenderness in his heart.
His primary reason for following Ye Qingyun was, of course, to protect her safety. But besides that, he also wanted to test things out.
In times of chaos, if given absolute support, most people will choose to use that power to seize power, such as by having him kill everyone on the ship so that they can become the captain.
At worst, he could be ordered to fight the enemy in the center of the battlefield without showing himself, so that the truth could be distorted afterward and the credit could be stolen to get a reward.
As someone with that special bloodline, Gu Chenyuan had heard such stories since childhood, and there were even many such examples in his ancestors' lineage.
He also wanted to see what Ye Qingyun would do, but to his surprise, Ye Qingyun really didn't have any other intentions at all. He just sat quietly, as if a cup of drink was enough to satisfy him.
...This person always seems to make him happy.
Ye Qingyun had no idea what Gu Chenyuan was thinking. He drank several bottles of beverages and browsed the interstellar network for a long time before finally waiting for the victory horn.
The enemy pirate group was no match for them and ultimately suffered a defeat.
Pu Tian's voice came over the ship's loudspeaker, ordering those who were still able to gather on the deck to retrieve the spoils from the enemy pirate ship.
Ye Qingyun set off for the deck. He was among the first to arrive. There weren't many people on the deck yet. He noticed that most of the people there had sustained some injuries, while he, completely unharmed, stood out remarkably.
Pu Tian was also injured on the arm and covered in blood, but he still stood very steadily.
Ye Qingyun composed herself, stepped forward, and put on a worried and heartbroken expression. She said to Pu Tian with great distress, "How did you get hurt? Does it hurt? Waaah, God, your injury hurts my heart!"
When Pu Tian saw Ye Qingyun, his eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "You're still alive?"
Ye Qingyun: "..."
What a jerk! Is this how he reacts to someone who cares about him so much?
Ye Qingyun wanted to roll his eyes, but due to his persona, he didn't openly express his emotions. Instead, he lowered his head and pretended to be sad.
Ye Qingyun wanted to feign sadness and back away from this scumbag, saying as she retreated, "Does my survival make you unhappy? I understand, I'll stay away from you..."
Ye Qingyun hadn't taken two steps back when he bumped into someone behind him. Just as Ye Qingyun was about to turn around and apologize, he heard a cold yet familiar voice behind him. The person said calmly, "Even if you die, he won't die."
Pu Tian looked surprised. Ye Qingyun slowly turned around and saw Gu Chenyuan standing behind him with a sullen face.
Gu Chenyuan's hand touched his back briefly and then withdrew, as if afraid he would fall, or as if he was encouraging him.
Pu Tian asked in surprise, "How...how did you two get together?"
Gu Chenyuan didn't answer, but just stared coldly at Pu Tian.
Ye Qingyun was shocked.
Is Gu Chenyuan helping him refute someone?
What a great person! Even though I always get bullied by him, I always stand up for him when he gets bullied!
Ye Qingyun was truly moved, but the relationships between the characters did not allow him to openly applaud. He lowered his head and quickly retreated.
Hmph, he wouldn't even consider helping that scumbag move the spoils of war.
Gu Chenyuan is truly a good person, and he should remember that so he can treat Gu Chenyuan even better in the future.
——————
All the spoils were brought back, and the crew members on the ship went into a period of recuperation, waiting for the spoils to be counted before their share of the treasure was distributed.
But all of this had nothing to do with Ye Qingyun. He didn't expect to get a share of the spoils from the scumbag, so he continued his activities as usual, going to teach Gu Chenyuan every day, while also being wary of Pu Tian coming to him one day to ask him how he survived, why he was with Gu Chenyuan back then, and why Gu Chenyuan spoke up for him.
However, Pu Tian never came, so Ye Qingyun was happy to be at ease.
A few days later, before going to bed that night, Ye Qingyun heard a knock on the door.
He looked through the peephole and saw Pu Tian standing outside the door.
So, they've finally come to confront him and demand an explanation?
Ye Qingyun took a deep breath and opened the door.
Ye Qingyun lowered her head, feigning shyness and excitement, nervously tugging at the hem of her clothes: "Ah Tian, it's so late, what brings you here..."
Pu Tian was completely at ease. As soon as he came in, he found a chair, sat down, and lit a cigarette.
He looked at Ye Qingyun, who was looking nervous, and chuckled, "What, do you want me to have you serve you in bed?"
Ye Qingyun: "..." I don't want that! Don't talk nonsense!
Before Pu Tian arrived, Ye Qingyun was already preparing to go to sleep. He was wearing comfortable pajamas, which was quite different from his usual dark-colored clothes, giving him an unusual softness.
Pu Tian had no other plans before coming, but now that he has seen her in person, he is inevitably tempted by her beauty and has other ideas.
Although Ye Qingyun's personality wasn't his type, her face was undeniably beautiful...
Pu Tian's gaze towards Ye Qingyun gradually changed. He stubbed out his cigarette and stood up.
Ye Qingyun watched Pu Tian step forward, walk up to him, gently place a hand on his shoulder, and then slowly lower her head, bringing her nose close to his neck.
Ye Qingyun got goosebumps all over his body. He raised his leg and, without hesitation, kicked Pu Tian hard in his vulnerable area.
"Awooo!!!"
Pu Tian sprang up instantly, but was then "accidentally" tripped by Ye Qingyun and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ye Qingyun watched Pu Tian roll on the ground and couldn't help but ask the system expectantly in her mind: "Even if I kick Pu Tian and cripple him, it'll be okay, right? His penis is just for show anyway; it's not part of the main story."
