Chapter 68: Claiming Sovereignty
During break.
"Gu Yuan, go pee! The old professor's hypnosis technique is about to make my bladder explode."
Jichen shouted loudly.
Gu Yuan, with a cold and handsome face, was dragged away by Ji Chen with no desire to live:
"On Jitian, please pay attention to your image."
Friendship between boys develops so quickly. If I like you, you are my good friend.
"Can image be used as a urinal? No!"
Jichen was justified and confident, and his steps were full of vigor.
The two of them quarreled all the way to the toilet in the corner of the teaching building.
Ji Chen rushed into a urinal area first, and Gu Yuan habitually walked towards the innermost cubicle.
It's relatively clean there.
He pushed open the cubicle door and everything was normal.
However, just as he locked the door and turned around.
"classmate……"
A wet voice with strange bubbling sounds suddenly rang out.
Gu Yuan paused and lowered his gaze.
I saw a translucent head slowly emerging from the toilet water that should have been crystal clear.
His face was pale and swollen, with water droplets dripping down his hair and cheeks, a typical drowned ghost.
The ghost blinked its hollow eyes, put on a seemingly friendly expression, and spoke in a mysterious, low voice:
"Classmate... want a disc? Classic action, romance, sci-fi, horror... we have it all, guaranteed to satisfy you..."
The corner of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched.
He looked expressionlessly at the drowned ghost being sold, then at the ghost's lower body which seemed to be still stuck in the toilet pipe.
"No, thank you."
Then he calmly reached out his hand, made a gesture, and pressed the flush button.
“Wow—”
The strong water flow suddenly rushed down like a whirlpool.
"Ah...wait! Even if the business fails, there's still righteousness, classmate! Pah pah pah..."
The drowned ghost was disoriented by the rush and retreated back into the depths of the pipe, cursing. His voice gradually faded away:
"Young people these days... are so rude... Back in the day, I was a DVD tyrant at the school gate..."
The world is pure.
Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a small scene.
"Gu Yuan?"
Jichen's voice came from outside the door along with the knock, with a hint of doubt:
"Who were you talking to just now? I thought I heard a sound?"
Gu Yuan: "..."
I forgot Jichen was still out there.
He opened the cubicle door, walked calmly to the sink, and turned on the faucet:
"Nothing, just sending a voice message to my family."
Jichen understood, came over with a wink, and nudged Gu Yuan with his elbow:
"Oh~ family? That girlfriend you mentioned last time, right? Tsk tsk, they're so affectionate in class and even during breaks, it really makes single guys like me envious!"
Gu Yuan responded vaguely: "Hmm..."
Jichen suddenly perked up, washing his hands while gossiping: "Speaking of which, brother, you're so mean! There are no photos of you in your circle of friends. You're hiding your relationship. When are you going to ask the girl out for dinner with us? Let me share in the good luck and learn from her!"
Ji Chen thought happily in his heart, Gu Yuan is so handsome, his girlfriend must also be a fairy-level, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, how pleasing to the eye they are standing together!
Alas, thinking about it, he also wants to fall in love...
Gu Yuan turned off the faucet, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it later. Let's go. The class bell is about to ring."
He really couldn't respond.
Could it be that his girlfriend is actually a man, or a ghost?
Physical education class in the afternoon, free time.
Gu Yuan had just finished playing half a basketball game. With sweat on his forehead, he walked to the sidelines, picked up the mineral water bottle and took a few gulps.
Not far away, several girls sat together, stealing glances at him while excitedly whispering about something, occasionally letting out suppressed exclamations and laughter.
Gu Yuan vaguely caught a few fragments of key words floating over:
"It's definitely true love... look at that look!"
"The red-haired guy has such a strong aura! He must be the top!"
"Domineering CEO gong x cool and beautiful shou! This setting is so exciting!"
"Ahhhh, I'm dying! The couple with the best looks!"
"Puff—cough cough cough!"
Gu Yuan almost spit out all the water in his mouth, choking to the point of tears coming out.
Red hair? Domineering CEO? Aloof?
What is going on?
A strong sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and he immediately took out his mobile phone and opened the university forum.
Sure enough, a post with a hot label on the front page caught my eye:
[Surprise! Handsome computer science student Gu Yuan is actually gay! And his boyfriend is also incredibly handsome! HD photos included!]
The main building is surprisingly a few candid photos.
These are all photos taken at the school gate when school started two days ago.
It’s been just over a day since I posted, but the replies have already piled up like a thousand stories high.
"What the hell??? It's a man!"
"So Gu Yuan is actually... (whispering)"
"Who is this handsome guy? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Three minutes, I want all the information about this red-haired man!"
"Sisters...the difference in size, the looks, the interactions...I'm gonna bow down to you first!"
"Take me upstairs! This character is locked!"
"Am I the only one who thinks this red-haired handsome guy seems a little inhuman? He's so handsome..."
"+1, I don't feel like a mortal..."
Gu Yuan's forehead veins throbbed as he watched.
He slid down quickly, watching the building becoming more and more crooked. They went from discussing gender to discussing appearance, and then to directly pairing him with Ji Yunzhou and arranging various novel plots. Some people even started writing short fan stories!
Then, his eyes fixed on one of the comments that received a lot of likes.
A user named "Ji Ni Da Ye" posted a highly praised comment: "Red-haired top x black-haired bottom! A destined CP! 99!"
Below, the reply:
"You have good taste. [Like][Like][Like]"
"Ji! Yun! Zhou!"
Gu Yuan almost squeezed out these three words from between his teeth.
With this ID and this tone, who else could it be but that shameless person!
He actually dared to reply using his own account?
What a good vision!
He immediately quit the forum and posted a message to accuse the enemy:
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
The message was replied almost instantly.
The other party first sent three smiling soybean emojis: "^^^"
Then he sent three more question marks: "???"
Then came a voice message. When I clicked on it, Ji Yunzhou's deep, smiling voice flowed out, with obvious teasing:
"Hubby~ Why did you call me? Did you miss me? We've only been apart for a few hours, and Yuanyuan is so clingy~"
Gu Yuan: "..."
My hands itch to fight ghosts.
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and typed a reply:
"Stop playing dumb! Did you post that reply on Tieba? You think it's not chaotic enough, right?"
Ji Yunzhou replied quickly, his words revealing innocence and self-righteousness:
"As a husband, I'm just being realistic. They praised us for being a good match and showed that they have excellent taste. I'm just affirming the public's aesthetic taste. Besides, I have the right to claim the title, so don't you want to assert your sovereignty as well?"
Gu Yuan was almost amused by his twisted logic: "Declare sovereignty?"
“…”Okay, this is actually not bad, right?
"Isn't it?"
Ji Yunzhou asked back, followed by an aggrieved expression: "Yuanyuan, are you finally going to abandon me and deny my identity? The relationship between us is so fragile..."
Abandoned after seducing?
Isn't this what he said about Ji Yunzhou?
Gu Yuan held his forehead and decided not to argue with this dramatic old ghost about logical issues.
He was about to continue typing when someone suddenly patted his shoulder hard.
"My fun! Gu Yuan!"
Jichen's loud voice exploded in his ears, full of shock: "You, you, you... don't you have a girlfriend? What's the matter with that post on the forum? Who is that handsome red-haired guy? So do you like men or women? No, that handsome guy is really your... boyfriend?"
Ji Chen obviously also saw the grand occasion of Tieba, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of excitement of "getting a big melon".
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Gu Yuan likes men or women.
He was just curious.
Gu Yuan was instantly overwhelmed.
The phone was still vibrating, and I knew without even looking that Ji Yunzhou was saying something naughty again.
In front of me are my best friends who are bursting with curiosity and waiting for explanations.
In the distance, there was a group of girls who were obsessed with the couple and were observing secretly.
How should he explain it?
Should I tell him to say: Calm down, this is what’s happening, I actually have a husband who is over a thousand years old and is the Ghost King, and he’s still interacting happily with people on Tieba?
Gu Yuan looked at Ji Chen's eyes full of curiosity, opened his mouth, and finally closed it helplessly.
Oh my god.
This school is really impossible to go to.
He wanted to assert his sovereignty, but he never thought of doing it this way!
