Although he felt embarrassed, Ye Qingyun still shamelessly took enough research materials to allow the research to continue.
After finishing the experiment that day, Ye Qingyun wanted to go out for a walk to get some fresh air, and Gu Chenyuan accompanied him.
The planet where Gu Chenyuan lived had a very small population and was sparsely populated, so the two of them walked for a while without encountering a single person.
Ye Qingyun walked quietly, and he wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Gu Chenyuan's expression was a little strange when he walked next to him.
It doesn't seem to have started today. Ever since Gu Chenyuan personally gave him that thing to study, Gu Chenyuan has been acting strangely whenever he faces him.
Ye Qingyun pondered for a moment and then understood.
Gu Chenyuan is an introverted and quiet person who values his personal privacy. Giving him that thing would probably make him very shy and uneasy.
Ye Qingyun imagined how uneasy Gu Chenyuan must have felt, yet because he liked him, he didn't want him to touch other people's things, so he forced himself to endure the embarrassment and hand over that shameful thing to him. Her heart softened.
He often encounters strange things while conducting experiments, so as long as he is in the laboratory, he can take everything in stride.
However, Gu Chenyuan doesn't conduct experiments often; he's just an ordinary, introverted young man, so he can't be held to that standard.
Ye Qingyun unconsciously softened her tone and reassured Gu Chenyuan, "I won't use your things to do bad things, you don't need to worry."
At most, he would prepare a potion to remove the bloodline restriction, all for Gu Chenyuan's good. He would never use it for any wicked or evil magic to make Gu Chenyuan fall in love with him!
...However, it seems that Gu Chenyuan gave him the things so that he would use them to engage in crooked and evil practices?
Ye Qingyun selectively glossed over the issue and continued to comfort her, "You don't need to be embarrassed. They're just experimental materials. It's nothing. Just consider them as contributing to scientific development."
Gu Chenyuan lowered his dark eyelashes, concealing the thoughts in his eyes, and softly replied, "...Mm."
Gu Chenyuan could tell that Ye Qingyun thought he was shy and uneasy, which was why she spoke up to comfort him.
But what did he have to be uneasy about? Since he dared to give it, he could bear whatever Ye Qingyun wanted to do with it.
Moreover, he had complete trust in Ye Qingyun, who was not the kind of person who would do bad things.
As for being shy... that's such an exciting thing, it only makes him feel hot and bothered.
His unusual emotional state lately is due to two reasons.
One reason is that Ye Qingyun... really had some kind of contact with him.
Even when he told himself it was just for the experiment, Gu Chenyuan found it hard to control his thoughts. Whenever he had free time, he would unconsciously start to fantasize, which would occasionally lead him to drift off into a daze.
Another reason is what Ye Qingyun said about the effects of the Love Stone.
If Ye Qingyun's speculation is true, and a certain element in the Stone of Love can indeed make two people who provide material fall in love, then will Ye Qingyun fall in love with him?
Gu Chenyuan had always scoffed at such things. He didn't believe that anything could actually control people's emotions; it was just brainwashing, and anyone who believed it was a fool.
But now, Gu Chenyuan sincerely hoped that this claim was true, that such a magical thing really existed in the world.
He wanted to hold Ye Qingyun's hand when they strolled together, and he wanted to hug Ye Qingyun and give her warmth when the weather turned cold.
He wants to do many, many things, but he simply can't do them given his current status.
...He wanted a chance, he just needed one chance.
————
Ye Qingyun walked a long way along the highway and was about to take Gu Chenyuan back when she saw a hovercar descend from the sky and land in front of a villa not far away.
The car door opened, and two men jumped out first.
One of the two men was dressed in black, with a cold and stern expression. The other had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes full of calculation.
After they got out of the car, they reached into the car again and pulled out a beautiful young man with tears in his eyes, who looked pitiful and heartbroken.
"No, please let me go, please let me go! I can do other things for you!" the handsome young man cried out. "I can be your slave, I can work for you without pay!"
"Work like a slave?" The man smoking seemed to have heard a joke, a smile playing on his lips. He patted the young man's face and exhaled a smoke ring. "You don't need to work like a slave, just serve us well."
After the smoking man finished speaking, another man in black clothes and pants grabbed the handsome young man and led him into the villa.
Ye Qingyun felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.
Ye Qingyun frowned and racked her brains, finally remembering.
He said, "Why does this feel so familiar? Isn't this a scene from the original story?"
At the time, the author said he wanted to write a love triangle scene and wanted to see what kind of person Gu Chenyuan would be with to create the most tension, so he just arranged this plot.
The crying young woman was one of the most beautiful women in the galaxy, the man smoking a cigarette was one of the top five richest people in the entire galaxy, and the cold-looking man in black clothes was a famous assassin.
The wealthy man and the assassin were friends. They took a liking to the young man's good looks, so they conspired to buy him from his parents and forcibly take the bewildered young man away.
The following scene shows the handsome young man seeing Gu Chenyuan, his eyes lighting up. He thinks Gu Chenyuan can save him, so he takes advantage of the two people holding him not paying attention, breaks free from their restraints, runs to Gu Chenyuan's side, and tearfully begs Gu Chenyuan to save him.
The two men also ran over, originally intending to snatch the young man home, but after seeing Gu Chenyuan's face, they were amazed by his appearance and instead wanted to take him away.
Gu Chenyuan ignored them completely, left on his own, and casually knocked down the assassin who tried to attack him.
The tycoon and the assassin were not about to give up so easily. They continued to harass Gu Chenyuan in the days that followed, much to his annoyance.
The young man believed that Gu Chenyuan had saved him, and was also captivated by Gu Chenyuan's skills, developing a deep infatuation with him and beginning to pursue him relentlessly.
In the original book, there is a scene where a young man takes off his clothes to seduce Gu Chenyuan, but Gu Chenyuan walks away without even looking at him, as if he didn't see it.
This scene was ridiculed by readers at the time, who said that the protagonist (shou) doesn't go on blind dates because Gu Chenyuan's personality clashed with this young man's, which is why he didn't even glance at him. They joked that if it were a muscular man with eight-pack abs instead, the plot might have been different.
Ye Qingyun remembered the teasing quite clearly, and therefore also remembered the details of the plot.
But there's still one thing that's not right.
When Gu Chenyuan encountered this part of the story, he wasn't in his hometown, but on another, more prosperous planet.
The location has changed, yet the story still progresses? Is the plot really that adaptable?
Ye Qingyun was puzzled. Then, he saw the handsome young man look in their direction, suddenly push aside the man in black, and stumble over.
Here it comes, the plot is starting exactly as it was!
Ye Qingyun's spirits lifted, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Chenyuan.
In the original storyline, the young man initially wanted to throw himself into Gu Chenyuan's arms for protection, but Gu Chenyuan took a step back, causing the young man to miss his target.
Will the Gu Chenyuan he knows also act according to the plot?
In the original story, Gu Chenyuan was the bottom, but in this story, Gu Chenyuan is the top. Will the plot change?
Gu Chenyuan showed little interest in what was happening before him, and simply said to Ye Qingyun, who had stopped, "Tired? I'll carry you."
Ye Qingyun: "Ah? Not tired? Look at that one ahead..."
Gu Chenyuan glanced at him lazily, then frowned as he looked at the young man running towards him.
Seeing the young man getting closer and closer, Ye Qingyun lunged at him—
The next second, Ye Qingyun was pulled into a strong embrace, Gu Chenyuan's breath hit his face, and his lips brushed against his ear.
The young man missed his target and fell to the ground.
Gu Chenyuan: "Tsk."
The young man scrambled to his feet, then tried to grab Ye Qingyun's sleeve again, tears streaming down his face, his voice trembling with sobs, "Kind person, please help me..."
Ye Qingyun shifted uneasily in Gu Chenyuan's arms: "..."
No, what's the point of this person attacking him? Does he even look like he has any fighting skills?
Gu Chenyuan originally had a handsome face that made it hard to tell he was a master, but standing next to him, even Gu Chenyuan looked unfathomable. It seemed that asking Gu Chenyuan for help would be more effective.
Gu Chenyuan then took another step back with Ye Qingyun, preventing the young man from touching Ye Qingyun's sleeve.
Gu Chenyuan looked at the young man coldly, a sneer appearing on his lips.
The young man's tearful appearance did not evoke his pity; instead, it aroused his vigilance. Perhaps he was overthinking it, but seeing this person rushing towards Ye Qingyun, his first reaction was that this person wanted to divert trouble by dragging the more attractive Ye Qingyun into the mess so that he could extricate himself.
The two men who came to arrest the youth also arrived. When they saw Ye Qingyun, their eyes lit up.
"Sir, would I have the honor of inviting you to my home for a cup of tea?" the man smoking asked Ye Qingyun politely, winking at him and appearing quite charming.
Ye Qingyun stared at this person, her eyes wide with shock.
I didn't notice it from a distance before, but now that I'm looking at it up close, this rich cannon fodder actually looks five or six points similar to Pu Tian!
Good heavens, thank goodness he doesn't have to maintain a persona anymore, otherwise he would really want to vomit if he had to pretend to be something he doesn't like.
Gu Chenyuan also noticed that the veins on the back of his hand, which was resting on Ye Qingyun, were bulging and trembling almost imperceptibly.
Gu Chenyuan had always known that Ye Qingyun liked Pu Tian, and this was a thorn in his side that had always been a source of frustration for him.
He thought that time would gradually fade Ye Qingyun's feelings for Pu Tian, and that by staying by Ye Qingyun's side, he would eventually leave a mark on her life, and Ye Qingyun would think of him more often.
But now this person has appeared.
If Ye Qingyun treats this person as a substitute for Pu Tian and wants to fall into this person's arms, then what should he do?
I can't think about it too much, I dare not think about it too much.
Gu Chenyuan felt a throbbing headache. Their bloodline constraint required them to never harm their loved ones; if they tried, the backlash would be far greater. Even just thinking about it gave him a terrible headache.
But he couldn't accept it... If Ye Qingyun really left with this person, even if it hurt like he was being slowly sliced to death, he would forcibly bring Ye Qingyun back.
Bring him back, lock him in the house, and forbid him from liking anyone else, from looking at other men, or from leaving him.
Gu Chenyuan was shaken, and he opened his eyes despite the pain, meeting Ye Qingyun's bright eyes.
Ye Qingyun urged softly, "What are you waiting for? This person is disgusting, hit him!"
