After Being Transformed Into Cannon Fodder For Death, The Heartthrob Chapter 37
byYe Qingyun entered the study and saw countless bookshelves packed full of books. Ye Qingyun marveled for a moment, then buried his head in the search.
After looking for a while, Ye Qingyun hadn’t found the book he wanted yet, but he did discover that there were an unusually large number of books related to pharmacology research and production here.
Ye Qingyun felt a little confused. Did Gu Shenyuan enjoy researching these things? Why had Gu Shenyuan never mentioned it?
Could it be that after reading his books, Gu Shenyuan changed his interests and started liking the things he researched?
Oh my, how embarrassing!
If Ye Qingyun had a tail, it would definitely be wagging sky-high right now. He continued his search in a cheerful mood, then heard footsteps behind him.
Ye Qingyun turned his head and saw Gu Shenyuan standing behind him, a pair of dark eyes quietly watching him.
Ye Qingyun felt a little shy. He told Gu Shenyuan to sit down nearby and continued his search.
Gu Shenyuan didn’t sit. He stood behind Ye Qingyun, watching as Ye Qingyun got closer and closer to the location where the book was hidden, his eyes gradually dimming.
He had written many notes in that book. With Ye Qingyun’s intelligence, he could completely deduce the content he focused on studying based on the number of notes, thereby discovering the true point he wanted to delve into, and his real purpose for getting on the ship in the first place.
…He had gone onto that ship because he wanted to use Ye Qingyun. Everything was just part of his calculation.
Ye Qingyun would definitely be very angry, wouldn’t he? He thought Gu Shenyuan was simply someone who wanted to learn, but it turned out he was a big-tailed wolf who wanted to use him?
Moreover, Ye Qingyun was initially unwilling to teach him. It was only because of Pu Tian that Ye Qingyun suppressed his anger and taught him things.
This beginning was far from beautiful, and if Ye Qingyun were to find out that all of this was thanks to him…
As Ye Qingyun continued searching, he finally found that book, and Gu Shenyuan’s mood sank to rock bottom.
Ye Qingyun opened the book and, seeing the pages full of notes, couldn’t help but let out a surprised “Oh,” then began to flip through the entire book.
Every reaction from Ye Qingyun was like a sharp blade hanging over Gu Shenyuan’s head. He waited for Ye Qingyun to explode in anger.
He didn’t care if Ye Qingyun wanted to hit him or scold him. But if Ye Qingyun wanted to leave…
Several dark thoughts flashed through Gu Shenyuan’s mind. Gu Shenyuan’s eyes flickered, and he stared intently at Ye Qingyun’s back.
No matter how much Ye Qingyun hated him, he would never allow Ye Qingyun to leave.
Time flowed silently. Ye Qingyun roughly finished reading the book, remained silent for a moment, then turned around.
Gu Shenyuan lowered his eyes, afraid to meet Ye Qingyun’s gaze. He waited for Ye Qingyun’s outburst, but instead, he heard Ye Qingyun say to him gently, “You really like pharmacology! Why didn’t you tell me before?”
Gu Shenyuan froze and suddenly looked up. He didn’t see any disgust in Ye Qingyun’s eyes. Ye Qingyun’s warm-colored eyes looked at him, still gentle and bright.
“Do you think I don’t know anything? I know a little too,” Ye Qingyun said modestly. “You can ask me directly if you want to know anything, don’t be shy. We’re already in this kind of relationship, right?”
Gu Shenyuan silently met Ye Qingyun’s gaze, scrutinizing Ye Qingyun’s emotions.
Ye Qingyun… didn’t notice?
Or perhaps he noticed, but given their current relationship, Ye Qingyun couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore.
Regardless of the answer, this was a huge piece of good news for Gu Shenyuan. He immediately stated his position: “I have no interest in pharmacology research now. I don’t want to learn anymore, and you don’t need to trouble yourself.”
Ye Qingyun smiled, turned his head, and continued to study the book, his gaze lingering on certain chapters.
Gu Shenyuan had many flaws, and it wasn’t difficult to deduce. Ye Qingyun thought for a moment and realized the possibility.
No wonder Gu Shenyuan said his grandmother had passed away long ago. It turned out that Gu Shenyuan’s reason for getting on the ship was not because of his grandmother at all, but because of him.
Gu Shenyuan most likely wanted to find him to research the Antidote for the Bloodline restriction, which also aligned with Gu Shenyuan’s personality.
That’s great! Since Gu Shenyuan’s original goal was this, he would surely be very happy when he finished researching the Antidote and gave it to Gu Shenyuan!
Thinking of the wonderful prospect, Ye Qingyun became even more delighted. He hugged the book, greeted Gu Shenyuan, and left for the laboratory.
Gu Shenyuan watched Ye Qingyun leave, then placed the remaining books on pharmacology production into an encrypted bookcase.
Antidote? He didn’t need such a thing.
This Bloodline restriction didn’t just restrict him; it also restricted Ye Qingyun.
If Ye Qingyun hadn’t known about the existence of this Bloodline restriction and its effect on him, he would definitely have kept trying to leave.
He would not give Ye Qingyun that chance.
If a medicine that could eliminate the Bloodline restriction ever appeared… he would be the first to destroy it.
——————
Ye Qingyun spent several days studying that book. After finishing his research, he looked back at his previous experiments, and the difficulties were immediately resolved.
Great! At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for him to give the Antidote to Gu Shenyuan!
What reason should he use to give the gift?
Ye Qingyun thought for a moment, opened his calendar, and looked for the nearest upcoming holiday.
He would give it to Gu Shenyuan as a holiday gift!
Today was the twentieth. The closest holiday was… Valentine’s Day?
Ye Qingyun froze, then his face flushed.
The interstellar Valentine’s Day was in just a few days, and he had never paid attention to it.
He hadn’t had a partner to celebrate Valentine’s Day with before. Would he have a chance this time?
He would give the Antidote to Gu Shenyuan. Gu Shenyuan would happily drink it, and then he would happily express his feelings to Gu Shenyuan. The two of them would celebrate Valentine’s Day happily together.
Oh, God, perfect!
It was decided!
————
On Valentine’s Day, Ye Qingyun watched the news with Gu Shenyuan during breakfast.
The news broadcasted exciting Valentine’s Day activities on various planets, and experts came out to introduce various small games supposedly capable of increasing intimacy between couples, recommending that citizens try them at home with their loved ones.
The small games were varied. There were games that couldn’t be described, such as experts suggesting couples make love from dusk till dawn, and when the sun rose, they would embrace and pull back the curtains to watch the fiery red sun.
There were also more innocent games, such as saying “I love you” to one’s partner after every action. Experts stated that love should be spoken out loud so that the partner could directly feel the affection, thereby deepening the relationship between the two.
Or, preparing surprise gifts for the other person to give them a day full of surprises.
Under the table, Ye Qingyun reached into his pocket and felt around. The bottle of Antidote had been simply packaged, waiting for the right time to be given to Gu Shenyuan as a surprise.
Ye Qingyun secretly glanced at Gu Shenyuan and found that Gu Shenyuan was also looking at him.
“What are you looking at?” Ye Qingyun blurted out nervously.
Gu Shenyuan was silent for a moment, then poured him a glass of milk. After doing this, he looked directly into Ye Qingyun’s eyes again.
Perhaps because today was a special day, being stared at by Gu Shenyuan like this made Ye Qingyun feel shy.
Ye Qingyun awkwardly picked up the cup, just about to take a sip, when he heard Gu Shenyuan say, “I love you.”
Ye Qingyun was caught completely off guard. Hearing this sudden declaration, he immediately choked on the milk.
Gu Shenyuan helped pat Ye Qingyun’s back, allowing him to catch his breath.
“You, why are you so direct all of a sudden?” Ye Qingyun asked awkwardly.
Gu Shenyuan looked towards the expert on the television, letting his meaning be understood without words.
He and Ye Qingyun were not lovers, but he harbored fantasies in his heart, which was why he was trying this.
This was the least offensive way to Ye Qingyun, and it didn’t require Ye Qingyun’s cooperation, only for him to speak.
What if… what if Ye Qingyun could slowly get used to him, slowly accept him, through these little things?
“Okay, okay, I’m fine now.” Ye Qingyun stopped coughing, wiped his mouth, and continued eating, thinking as he ate.
When should he give the gift to Gu Shenyuan? Should he give it now? Or wait until before going to bed at night?
If he gave it before going to bed, and then expressed his feelings afterward, would they… make love from dusk till dawn, and then, when the sun rose, embrace and pull back the curtains to watch the fiery red sun?
…Wait, bah, what was he thinking? That was moving too fast!
Seeing Ye Qingyun eating distractedly, seemingly thinking about someone, Gu Shenyuan pursed his lips and said softly, “Qingyun… I have something to give you.”
“Hmm?” Ye Qingyun looked up in surprise. “What is it?”
Gu Shenyuan didn’t rush to say. He waited until Ye Qingyun finished breakfast before saying, “Come with me.”
Ye Qingyun obediently followed Gu Shenyuan. Gu Shenyuan led him around and finally stopped in front of a room.
The door to this room was not locked. Gu Shenyuan pressed his hand on it, activated his Ability, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Ye Qingyun was blinded by the dazzling array of treasures inside.
This, this, there were so many gold and silver jewels, so many rare materials!
Oh my goodness, Gu Shenyuan was truly a big tycoon!
“For you,” Gu Shenyuan said flatly.
“All this for me?” Ye Qingyun was shocked.
Gu Shenyuan was silent for a moment, then explained, “It’s a little sparse. I didn’t focus on accumulating wealth before; just enough was fine. But don’t worry, I can give you much more than this. Just wait a little longer; I will bring back more.”
Ye Qingyun wasn’t complaining that it was too little; he was clearly stunned by the sheer amount of treasure, and Gu Shenyuan’s words shocked him even more.
“It’s not sparse at all, not at all,” Ye Qingyun quickly said.
“Mm,” Gu Shenyuan said lightly. “But it’s still not enough to match you.”
This declaration of love was a little too much for his ears. Ye Qingyun took a deep breath. He reached into his pocket and felt the Antidote inside.
Gu Shenyuan had given him a gift, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to return the favor now.
Ye Qingyun composed himself and said to Gu Shenyuan, “I… also have something for you.”
A trace of surprise flashed across Gu Shenyuan’s face, followed by shock and ecstasy.
Ye Qingyun giving him something today—what did this mean? Did this mean…
Gu Shenyuan felt as if he was floating on clouds, happy, yet lacking any sense of reality.
He watched as Ye Qingyun pulled a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to him.
Gu Shenyuan took it. He didn’t look at the gift, only stared intently at Ye Qingyun.
“This, this is…” Ye Qingyun’s face was a little red. His eyes fell on Gu Shenyuan’s sleeve. “This is the Antidote for your Bloodline restriction. Will you drink it?”
Antidote?
The word fell into Gu Shenyuan’s ears, bringing him no joy whatsoever.
Had Ye Qingyun finally been unable to tolerate him any longer, made the Antidote for him, and now wanted to separate from him?
The cloud of happiness burst, and Gu Shenyuan felt himself plunged back into an ice cave.
