At one o'clock in the morning, Gu Chenyuan still couldn't fall asleep.
The bed was too soft for him to get used to, and the unfamiliar environment constantly reminded him of the purpose of coming here.
His special bloodline made him witness the evil of human nature since childhood, and also made him increasingly indifferent, and strengthened his determination not to fall in love with anyone.
But it is not enough to just control himself from falling in love with others, he needs to cut off any possibility more thoroughly.
Remove this innate curse so that others can't take advantage of him through his emotions. Or, simply eliminate his emotions through drugs.
He himself had no way to solve these two problems, but after searching through all the information, he believed that Ye Qingyun was the person most capable of coming up with a solution.
Gu Chenyuan had made great efforts to board the ship and successfully met Ye Qingyun. The whole plan could be said to be half successful. Next, the difficulty was how to avoid suspicion and let Ye Qingyun teach him what he wanted to learn.
If Ye Qingyun is willing to teach him seriously because of his good attitude, that would be the best. If not, he might have to use tougher measures.
Gu Chenyuan frowned and thought for a long time, and the more he thought, the clearer he became.
He opened the terminal and wanted to watch something to hypnotize himself, but he accidentally saw a video push -
From the moment I paid too much attention to you, I had already begun to fall into the abyss of love... Loving you began from the moment I looked at you one more moment.
Gu Chenyuan: "..."
According to this theory, it is very likely that he fell in love with Ye Qingyun without realizing it.
Gu Chenyuan closed the terminal expressionlessly and covered himself with the quilt.
Ridiculous and nonsense.
This isn't even a problem to be wary of.
The possibility that he would fall in love with someone who goes against him in every way and is jealous of him all the time is zero.
Their personalities were completely in conflict, and there wasn't even a chance for them to fall in love over time, which really made him feel at ease.
――――――
The next morning, Ye Qingyun brought her books and prepared class materials and knocked on Gu Chenyuan's door.
Gu Chenyuan was still taciturn, but fortunately he didn't need to talk much, just listen. Ye Qingyun instructed Gu Chenyuan to sit down, and he also sat down beside him and began to teach.
But the problem lies in the lectures.
Ye Qingyun was not a professional actor. If he had been allowed to sit quietly and say a few words from time to time, he might have been able to barely maintain his vicious persona. But now his attention was fully focused on the explanation, and he kept talking non-stop. His speaking style was unconsciously becoming less and less vicious.
In the first few minutes of the explanation, Ye Qingyun's tone was very ferocious: "If you don't understand, forget it. Don't think I can tell you again. I tell you, it's impossible." Ye Qingyun thought about it, and added, "Unless you beg me, I might be merciful and tell you again if I'm happy."
Gu Chenyuan pretended not to hear anything, opened the book, and stared at it quietly.
Ye Qingyun began to lecture with great interest.
One hour later.
"Do you understand? This part is difficult to understand. It is normal not to understand it the first time. Turn back to page 158 and I will explain it again." Ye Qingyun, who was immersed in the explanation, spoke naturally, not noticing that there was anything wrong with his tone and the content of his speech.
Gu Chenyuan turned the book back to that page, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qingyun who was teaching with her head down.
Under the bright yellow light, Ye Qingyun lowered her eyes, there was a warm light in her light amber eyes, her expression was gentle, and her tone of voice was gentle with a hint of encouragement.
His delicate features were free of jealousy and disdain, and in such an atmosphere, he appeared gentle and patient, which was particularly moving.
Gu Chenyuan thought of a certain male star who was very popular at the moment. That male star became extremely famous after starring in a youth campus drama and was called "the first love face of the entire galaxy."
From Gu Chenyuan's aesthetic point of view, that male star is not even half as good-looking as Ye Qingyun is now. If Ye Qingyun were promoted as a star, he should be able to easily get countless flowers and attention.
… Such a person, unlike him, is not hindered by some reasons and cannot enjoy life freely, but still insists on being alone and conducting some research that ordinary people cannot understand.
At this moment, Gu Chenyuan felt a subtle sense of admiration rising from the bottom of his heart.
The gentle explanation stopped, and Ye Qingyun frowned, looking a little angry: "Are you distracted?"
Gu Chenyuan subconsciously denied: "No, I just don't understand."
Ye Qingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Chenyuan with a serious expression.
Gu Chenyuan stared at Ye Qingyun expressionlessly, already sensing the coming wave of ridicule and contempt.
Ye Qingyun would definitely not be willing to say it again, but fortunately he had already understood it, so it didn't matter if he didn't say it again.
However, the development of the matter was beyond Gu Chenyuan's expectations. He heard Ye Qingyun sighing tiredly, and turned back to the page he had just mentioned, and asked him: "What exactly do you not understand?"
The tone sounded helpless and patient, and it seemed that Ye Qingyun had completely forgotten what he had said before.
Gu Chenyuan was stunned and looked at Ye Qingyun in surprise.
Ye Qingyun seemed to remember something, his expression changed immediately, and he put on a mocking face: "Oh, very good, your stupidity entertains me, this time I will generously explain it to you again, what do you not understand?"
Gu Chenyuan, with a feeling he couldn't explain, lowered his head and pointed to a random passage in the book: "Here."
Ye Qingyun began to explain that passage again in great detail, while Gu Chenyuan looked at the book, listened to the earnest instructions, but his thoughts drifted away again.
When he was a child, his family background was known to many people, so he was surrounded by countless people with ulterior motives.
When he grew up, he concealed his family background, but countless people coveted his face and tried to take advantage of him.
It had been a long time since he had sat with someone like this, listening to someone talking to him quietly in a relatively happy mood.
Ye Qingyun finally finished his speech after his mouth was dry. He asked his students expectantly, "Do you understand?"
Gu Chenyuan paused for a moment and nodded: "I understand."
Ye Qingyun waited until the clouds parted and the moon appeared. He was so happy that he almost cried. He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good, you are really smart!"
Ye Qingyun had just finished praising when she saw Gu Chenyuan's surprised look. She immediately came back to her senses and struggled to maintain her persona: "I'm saying that I'm really smart and can even teach someone like you. I'm not saying that you're smart. Don't get me wrong!"
"Yeah." Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes, hiding the smile that flashed across his eyes, and said lightly, "Go on."
Time passed quickly, and Ye Qingyun was speaking passionately, not noticing the passage of time. In addition, the nutritional supplement he took in the morning could last the whole day, so he didn't feel hungry. By the time he felt something was wrong, it was already 12:30 in the middle of the night.
And he didn't even know whether Gu Chenyuan had eaten anything this morning.
"Why didn't you stop me?" Ye Qingyun expressed his concern with difficulty, "Don't you know to remind me to drink water and eat? And you didn't even say a word when it was so late. Do you want to prevent me from getting a good night's sleep?"
Gu Chenyuan: “…No.”
"Hmph, that's enough for today!" Ye Qingyun stood up and said, "I won't get up early tomorrow. I'll come again in the afternoon." So there's no need to get up early tomorrow to wait for him.
Gu Chenyuan: “…Okay.”
Was it his illusion? He even felt that Ye Qingyun was caring about him in a twisted way
Ye Qingyun strode away, and Gu Chenyuan watched him leave until the door was closed, then he withdrew his gaze.
Gu Chenyuan thought about Ye Qingyun's last two sentences, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Qingyun was awkwardly and unwillingly caring about him, his "rival in love".
… kind of cute.
