The reason why Gu Chenyuan pretended to faint was that he was sure that Ye Qingyun would not abandon him after he fainted.
He guessed right. Ye Qingyun did not abandon him to fend for himself. Instead, he brought him to the ground and anxiously looked for medicine for him.
Ye Qingyun was too soft-hearted to watch others die. If it were him, if he met someone stronger than him and insisted on following him, he would kill that person when he got the chance.
Gu Chenyuan has always sneered at this kind of kindness, but now that Ye Qingyun treated him like this, he felt a kind of secret happiness.
Gu Chenyuan let Ye Qingyun help him up, walked down from the aircraft, and leaned his whole body against Ye Qingyun, absorbing the warm body temperature.
After walking for a while, Gu Chenyuan heard Ye Qingyun talking to someone, and heard more people gathering here.
Those people were speaking some unfamiliar language, which Gu Chenyuan happened to have learned when he was looking for information, so he was able to understand it.
He heard those people discussing taking Ye Qingyun away and giving her to some so-called "God".
Huh, God
Even if it is a god, if someone wants to take Ye Qingyun away from him, there will be only one outcome.
It's time for him to wake up.
But before Gu Chenyuan opened his eyes, he heard Ye Qingyun speak.
Ye Qingyun said they had slept together.
Gu Chenyuan was not stupid. He knew after a little thought that this was a lie Ye Qingyun told in order to avoid being taken away.
In the past, what Gu Chenyuan hated most was others slandering him in this regard. He didn't even have feelings of admiration, let alone the things that would only happen when the feelings were strong.
Anyone who boasted about having had a relationship with him would be killed if he heard it.
But now when he heard Ye Qingyun say this, Gu Chenyuan no longer felt the same disgust as before.
It doesn't matter. Gu Chenyuan thought, just say it, it's not a big deal.
But Ye Qingyun did not stop there. Immediately afterwards, Gu Chenyuan felt something soft and hot touching his cheek.
Ye Qingyun was kissing him.
The distance was too close. Gu Chenyuan's rejection of outsiders over the years made him subconsciously accumulate supernatural powers at his fingertips, but he quickly cancelled them after he realized what was happening.
He... doesn't feel sick.
Then, Gu Chenyuan heard Ye Qingyun's earth-shattering declaration.
Gu Chenyuan couldn't bear it any longer. He opened his eyes and wanted to see the expression on Ye Qingyun's face.
――――
Ye Qingyun stared at Gu Chenyuan with a stiff face: "..."
Oh my god! Gu Chenyuan woke up!
How much did Gu Chenyuan hear? Is he going to die soon
Ye Qingyun immediately distanced himself from Gu Chenyuan, let go of the hand that was supporting Gu Chenyuan, and no longer cared whether it would arouse the suspicion of the villagers.
Then Ye Qingyun saw Gu Chenyuan cough, stagger, and fall back on him. It seemed that he had no intention of attacking him.
Very good, it seems that Gu Chenyuan has just woken up and has no idea what happened before.
Ye Qingyun felt extremely fortunate and felt that he had narrowly escaped death.
The villagers who were watching questioned: "Aren't you a couple? Why did you look like that just now?"
Ye Qingyun asked Gu Chenyuan expressionlessly: "Do you understand what they are saying?"
Gu Chenyuan shook his head.
Very good, then no matter how he makes up stories, his image will not be ruined in front of Gu Chenyuan!
Ye Qingyun felt relieved. He sighed at the questioning villager and said sadly, "Because we had a quarrel."
Villager: "Fighting?"
"... That's right." Ye Qingyun looked at Gu Chenyuan and said in a heavy tone, "Look at him now, he is so weak, do you know why?"
The villagers all shook their heads.
"Because his father... beat him to death!" Ye Qingyun covered his face. "His father didn't agree with him being with me. He said that we are both men. He absolutely doesn't agree with his son being with a man. Otherwise, he will sever the father-son relationship with him."
Gu Chenyuan: "..."
"How can this be! What next?" asked the villagers.
"I... I didn't want the relationship between him and his family to become strained because of me, so I broke up with him." Ye Qingyun looked up at the sky with melancholy, "He didn't agree to break up, so he broke up with his family. After being beaten, he came to me to elope. I didn't agree, so we had a conflict."
"Oh, young man, why are you like this?" the villagers said angrily.
Ye Qingyun said loudly: "Am I wrong? Who am I to deserve him to break up with his parents who gave birth to him and raised him? I just want his family to be happy, am I wrong?"
The villagers watching were already aroused by Ye Qingyun's story. They discussed it intensely for a moment and asked Ye Qingyun:
"You came here just to elope?"
"Oh, please make peace quickly. It's so frustrating. Isn't he doing this for you?"
"Is your partner seriously injured?"
Ye Qingyun lowered his eyes, and with a helpless expression, he stated his ultimate goal: "He is seriously injured. Can you give us some medicine and a small room to stay in? Good people will be rewarded. After he recovers, we will try our best to repay everyone!"
The villagers were very kind-hearted. After discussing for a while, they took Ye Qingyun and Gu Chenyuan to an uninhabited hut and gave them healing herbs.
On the way to the cabin, Gu Chenyuan asked Ye Qingyun: "What did you tell them?"
Ye Qingyun had a blank expression on her face and a stern tone when she spoke to Gu Chenyuan, perfectly playing the role of his vicious cannon fodder character: "What does it have to do with you? Ha, listen, I will sleep in the big bed and you will sleep in the small bed. If you dare to let me help you walk, you must be prepared to work like a slave for me!"
Ye Qingyun thought that Gu Chenyuan would ignore him after being scolded by him, but the look in Gu Chenyuan's eyes when he looked at him did not contain any anger or coldness, and could even be described as gentle.
Ye Qingyun shuddered and looked at Gu Chenyuan again. Gu Chenyuan's expression had returned to normal.
The villager took them to the cabin and opened the door: "The owner of this house is the person who was favored by the gods last time. No one lives in this house now. You just need to clean it up."
Ye Qingyun thanked them, sent the villagers away, and looked inside the house.
It seemed that the owner of the house was still fantasizing about coming back before he left, so he covered most of the things in the house with dust covers, making it easy to pack up.
The furnishings of the entire house are simple and can be seen at a glance.
So Ye Qingyun saw that there was only one bed in the room.
Yes, there is only one bed, and there is not even a sofa where people can lie down.
Then how do he and Gu Chenyuan sleep
According to his character, he should have driven Gu Chenyuan down to sleep on the floor. According to reality, he dared not let Gu Chenyuan, who could kill him with just one finger, sleep on the floor.
Gu Chenyuan tore off the dust cover in the room, coughed softly, and sat on the bed.
The hint was so obvious, it was definitely telling him to sleep on the floor more consciously and not fight for the bed!
Ye Qingyun folded her hands and looked at Gu Chenyuan for a while, then turned and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Gu Chenyuan's cold voice sounded.
"Where am I going? Of course I'm going to find a place to rest. Don't you see there's only one bed here?" Ye Qingyun said sarcastically.
Ye Qingyun finished speaking and was about to leave when she heard Gu Chenyuan shout, "Stop."
Gu Chenyuan stood up from the bed: "You sleep here."
Ye Qingyun turned around and saw Gu Chenyuan walk to a chair and sit down, supporting the table with one hand, as if he wanted to rest here.
He wasn't so crazy as to let the patient sit on the bench while he happily slept in bed! How could anyone sleep like this!
Ye Qingyun continued to walk out, but after taking two steps, someone held down his shoulders. Turning back, he saw Gu Chenyuan pursing his lips and looking at him gloomily.
Gu Chenyuan pressed Ye Qingyun. He wanted to ask Ye Qingyun why she still wanted to leave, why she couldn't sleep here, and whether she didn't want to share a room with him.
But when he looked into Ye Qingyun's eyes, a new idea flashed through Gu Chenyuan's mind as he looked into those warm eyes.
Ye Qingyun still wanted to leave, perhaps because she cared about him and didn't want him to sleep while sitting.
With this thought in mind, Gu Chenyuan blurted out: "This bed is big, let's sleep together."
Ye Qingyun: "Sleeping together... Who wants to sleep with you???"
Seeing that Ye Qingyun was about to leave again, Gu Chenyuan added: "One person sleeps on one side, and no one can cross the middle. It's so late, don't disturb others, it's impolite."
Ye Qingyun felt that what Gu Chenyuan said made some sense. He scratched his head and looked at the large bed.
Since we are divided by the Chu River and Han River, it shouldn’t be a problem to sleep in the same bed...right
――――
midnight.
Gu Chenyuan opened his eyes and looked at the person lying not far away.
Ye Qingyun's breathing was clearly audible. He hadn't shared a bed with anyone for many years and thought he would be uncomfortable, but now he felt unexpectedly at ease.
… He did not reject Ye Qingyun's support, did not reject Ye Qingyun's kiss, and even did not reject lying on the same bed with Ye Qingyun.
He was even happy when he thought about how Ye Qingyun lied to him just to get him a bag of herbs for treatment.
This is dangerous, too dangerous.
This was not good news for him. It was reasonable for him to stay away from Ye Qingyun in case he could not control his emotions one day.
He should go, get up now, leave the hut and rest outside.
Ye Qingyun, who was sleeping peacefully, turned over, and one hand crossed the boundary between Chu and Han and rested right on his open palm.
Before going to bed, she made so many declarations not to let him cross the line, but after falling asleep, it was Ye Qingyun himself who had the most dishonest sleeping posture.
Gu Chenyuan opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling, feeling the warm body temperature in his hands, and the thought of getting up and leaving shattered.
He gently held the hand in his palm.
