Ye Qingyun strongly disagreed with what Gu Chenyuan said.
"Are you crazy? You said it yourself, you are almost invincible!" Ye Qingyun frowned and said sarcastically, "If you want to die, you can find a more comfortable way. Do you think you are cool when being hung up and beaten? It's so embarrassing!"
Gu Chenyuan was not angry at being ridiculed like this, he just said: "No."
He won't let him lose face.
Faced with Gu Chenyuan's confident eyes, Ye Qingyun hesitated again.
In the original novel, the man who was said to be very powerful was a cannon fodder without even a name. Gu Chenyuan was the absolute protagonist, who had turned danger into safety countless times in the plot and was invincible.
Can a cannon fodder defeat Gu Chenyuan
Ye Qingyun thought for a while, then stood up and prepared to leave.
Forget it, safety first. Gu Chenyuan is not like him who can be reborn. If he dies, it’s all over.
But before Ye Qingyun could take a step, he saw Gu Chenyuan's face showing a helpless expression of being the best in the world but being looked down upon, but unable to prove himself with his own strength, mixed with a sense of grievance of not being believed.
Ye Qingyun paused and sat down again.
How annoying! He just reluctantly trusted Gu Chenyuan this time!
――――――
With Gu Chenyuan's strength, he won the first few competitions very easily. If there was any setback, it was the surprise of everyone at his appearance when Gu Chenyuan first went on stage.
"You got the wrong person! This should be the one cheering in the audience, right?"
"He's so handsome and yet he comes on stage to fight. Tsk tsk tsk, I think there's no need to cut to his lover, lest everyone gets too disappointed."
"Tsk, just pretending. This must be a gigolo kept by an old man. He came here just for fun."
However, when the camera cut to Ye Qingyun, everyone who had just mocked him became silent.
Many people held back their compliments because their lovers were around, but their eyes were still on Ye Qingyun.
After looking at Ye Qingyun, and then looking at Gu Chenyuan on the competition stage, his mood was completely different from just now.
If the best beauty is paired with the strongest person, then everyone will only admire her. But if the beauty is paired with a person who only has a face but no strength, then what follows is plunder.
It may be difficult for this couple to continue on their journey.
――――――
Gu Chenyuan was extremely sensitive to other people's thoughts, so he could guess what everyone was thinking. Therefore, he acted extremely decisively, which made people gasp.
After several rounds of competition, those with average skills were all eliminated, and the remaining ones were all those with real strength.
In this round, Gu Chenyuan drew the third prince's lover as his competition partner.
Although everyone's opinion of Gu Chenyuan's strength has changed and they no longer think he is a weakling, they don't think Gu Chenyuan can defeat the third prince's lover. They just think that Gu Chenyuan has bad luck and will be eliminated so soon.
Before the competition began, the host interviewed Ye Qingyun and the third prince separately and asked them what they wanted to say.
"There's nothing to say," the Third Prince held his chin with his left hand, revealing the tattoo on the back of his hand without any concealment, "I hope he will be gentle and not accidentally beat someone to death."
The host chuckled and came over to interview Ye Qingyun again.
Ye Qingyun listened to the Third Prince's ridicule, swallowed the "safety first" on his lips, and replaced it with a worried expression: "I also hope that he will be gentle, but his opponent may not be able to withstand even a light move, which is really worrying."
"You!" The Third Prince glared at Ye Qingyun, then sneered, "You are still stubborn."
Ye Qingyun was indeed being stubborn and knew that he might be slapped in the face soon, but at this time, he had to support Gu Chenyuan.
Ye Qingyun secretly turned his head to glance at Gu Chenyuan on the stage, but he didn't expect that Gu Chenyuan was also looking at him. When the two looked at each other, Ye Qingyun immediately showed a fierce expression, hinting Gu Chenyuan not to embarrass him.
A smile flashed in Gu Chenyuan's eyes and he turned to face his opponent.
The competition officially began and everyone held their breath.
The legendary invincible black-haired young man took the lead in attacking. The metallic power in the air around him condensed into sharp blades and attacked Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan did not fight back immediately. He leisurely dodged the sharp blade, not getting hurt at all, and observed the person who pretended to be him thoughtfully.
Some people were concentrating on watching the competition on the stage, while others were targeting the audience.
As Ye Qingyun watched, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder and a hand came up to him.
He turned his head to look at the owner of the hand, and saw a sturdy man with a lustful face looking at him: "He is going to lose, you might as well follow me. Although I can't get first place, it's still no problem to get second place."
Ye Qingyun: "Bullshit, you are the one who is going to lose!"
The sturdy man didn't pay attention to Ye Qingyun's rebuttal. He moved closer, looked at Ye Qingyun's porcelain-white skin that was flushed by his hand, and continued: "He can't satisfy you, right? Follow me, I will let you know what a man is, I guarantee that you will get addicted to him and never leave--"
Before he could finish his words, the sturdy man widened his eyes and fell straight down.
The aura of high-level supernatural powers filled the air, making it difficult for people to breathe.
There was silence all around. Ye Qingyun subconsciously looked up at Gu Chenyuan, and Gu Chenyuan was also looking at him. The opponent beside him had already fallen.
Gu Chenyuan stepped down from the stage and returned to Ye Qingyun. His eyes swept across Ye Qingyun's slightly red shoulders, and the supernatural power in the air suddenly became more murderous.
Gu Chenyuan didn't say a word, but everyone understood his silent warning.
Anyone who dares to do anything bad to Ye Qingyun again will be possessed by this suffocating supernatural power.
Ye Qingyun was also shocked. He looked at the legendary invincible man lying on the stage, and then at Gu Chenyuan who was unharmed, and he deeply understood a truth.
All powerful enemies are paper tigers in front of the protagonist.
It turns out that the protagonist’s halo is the most powerful!
The fainted man was taken away by the screaming Third Prince, and Gu Chenyuan continued the competition.
The result of the competition was no surprise, Gu Chenyuan won first place.
Ye Qingyun thought he could just take the prize and leave, but he didn't expect something unexpected to happen during the award ceremony.
The award presenter held the Love Stone in his hand, while the host said the blessing words happily beside him: "The Love Stone is given to lovers, may they be together forever! Now we invite the champion lovers to hug and kiss each other!"
The audience in the audience applauded loudly, and some shouted "Give me a kiss!"
Ye Qingyun was stunned: "...?"
Gu Chenyuan was also stunned.
Seeing that Ye Qingyun didn't respond, the host stepped up his lobbying: "He went through all kinds of hardships for you, went through fire and water for you, and got this love stone for you. Aren't you moved?"
Ye Qingyun: "…I am touched."
The host continued to instigate: "Why don't you hug him? Why don't you kiss him? Give him a passionate deep kiss. I believe our champion must be looking forward to it!"
Ye Qingyun: "..."
No, Gu Chenyuan is not looking forward to it, thank you.
Ye Qingyun was so embarrassed that his scalp tingled. He stood frozen to one side with a wandering look in his eyes.
Gu Chenyuan looked at Ye Qingyun in silence. Ye Qingyun's ears had turned red, and her thin earlobes were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.
… The host was right, he was indeed looking forward to it.
But Ye Qingyun really didn't want to kiss him. Delusion is just delusion.
Gu Chenyuan didn't let Ye Qingyun feel embarrassed for too long, and spoke up to help: "He is shy and embarrassed to do such a thing in public."
"Eh..." the host said regretfully, "But according to the rules, we give out prizes after the kiss. Do you two want to break the rules?"
Gu Chenyuan fell silent again.
He never cared about the so-called rules. If the host refused to give it to him, he would just grab it, but...
Although he also wanted to be optimistic, this might be his only chance to kiss Ye Qingyun without Ye Qingyun resisting.
Gu Chenyuan felt as if he was split into two halves. The dark side of him clamored for him to kiss him hard, to taste Ye Qingyun's flavor, to let Ye Qingyun's whole body be permeated with his scent.
But his remaining rationality told him that doing so would undoubtedly push Ye Qingyun further away.
As the two voices were arguing, Gu Chenyuan took a step forward and took Ye Qingyun's hand.
Seeing the hidden shock in Ye Qingyun's eyes, Gu Chenyuan said softly: "I know you don't want to, but we can't break the rules."
Ye Qingyun did not struggle as expected.
Gu Chenyuan's gaze slid across Ye Qingyun's warm eyes, straight nose, and light red lips.
He wants to have it, but it is not what he can have now.
He not only wants the present, he also wants the future.
Gu Chenyuan finally placed a gentle kiss on the side of Ye Qingyun's face, brushing against Ye Qingyun's red earlobe.
Warmer and softer than he had imagined.
This was their first kiss, and he would need to remember it for the rest of his life.
