After Being Transformed Into Cannon Fodder For Death, The Heartthrob Chapter 64

Gu Shenyuan stepped off the stage, and the entire venue fell silent once more.

The few people standing behind Ye Qingyun were shaking like sieves. They naturally understood what they were about to face and knew that pleading with Gu Shenyuan would be useless.

In this situation, the only way out was to appeal to Gu Shenyuan’s lover.

They frantically tried to grab Ye Qingyun’s sleeve, begging, “We didn’t mean it, we were just momentarily possessed! Please, please, ask him to let us go!”

Ye Qingyun didn’t turn around, nor did he feel his sleeve being touched. The pleading sounds behind him quickly vanished, leaving only silence.

Ye Qingyun said nothing, smiled, and chatted with Gu Shenyuan for a while, then watched him go participate in the second round of the competition.

In truth, the outcome of this match was already clear. When Gu Shenyuan’s opponent learned who he was, the person fainted on the spot from shock. Even after being revived, he remained mentally dazed until Gu Shenyuan assured him that it was merely a sparring match and no lives would be harmed, which finally allowed him to regain his composure.

Ye Qingyun thought the trip would end smoothly and perfectly, but unexpectedly, when Gu Shenyuan went on stage again and Ye Qingyun was left alone below, the young man sitting in front of him turned around. He looked at Ye Qingyun with a hesitant expression, though a hint of poorly concealed calculation and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Ye Qingyun frowned, about to ignore the person, when he heard the youth whisper, “Ye Qingyun, you’re actually still alive? Are you… are you with that person now?”

Ye Qingyun keenly sensed that something was wrong. This person definitely knew his past self, and judging by the tone, his relationship with Gu Shenyuan seemed like an incredibly unbelievable thing.

Although he also found being with Gu Shenyuan incredible, this person’s sense of incredulity was definitely not the same as his.

Ye Qingyun coldly replied without changing his expression, “What does that have to do with you?”

“Why wouldn’t it? Have you forgotten who I am? I am…”

The person dared not speak further. He opened the terminal on his wrist, angled it so Ye Qingyun could see, and typed a few lines:

I was a crew member on the Boss’s ship! I was out during the massacre, so I escaped. I didn’t expect you to be alive too.

How can you be with that person? Don’t you know, that person is the murderer who killed the Boss!

I pretended to be a passerby that day and saw what that person did! He brutally murdered the Boss and stole all his wealth. He’s an animal!

If you don’t believe me, I have a short video clip here to prove that everything I’m saying is true!

…You loved the Boss for so many years, do you have no lingering feelings for him now?

Ye Qingyun quickly scanned the messages several times, his expression shifting slightly.

He had no idea what this person was talking about, but the person seemed very familiar with his pre-amnesia self.

Who was the Boss, and did he love that Boss for many years?

And did Gu Shenyuan kill that Boss named Pu Tian?

He didn’t know if this information was true or false, but he could tell that this person was trying to sow discord between him and Gu Shenyuan.

The expression on Ye Qingyun’s face delighted this crew member of Pu Tian, who barely managed to keep his composure.

He hadn’t expected Ye Qingyun to survive the massacre. Ye Qingyun must have been out at the time, just like him, narrowly escaping death.

What surprised him even more was that Ye Qingyun was actually with Gu Shenyuan! Back then, Ye Qingyun hated Gu Shenyuan so much he found even looking at him disgusting!

He didn’t know how Ye Qingyun and Gu Shenyuan got together, but he knew his opportunity had arrived.

He hadn’t been doing well since leaving the ship. For some reason, he was always unlucky. He had tried his hand at swindling and cheating, but never succeeded, causing his money to dwindle.

This time, he teamed up with someone to pretend to be a couple, hoping to use his looks to hook some talented young man, but he never expected to stumble upon such earth-shattering news!

Now, as long as Ye Qingyun heard this news, he would surely harbor resentment toward Gu Shenyuan. If he guided Ye Qingyun a little, perhaps Ye Qingyun would be willing to provide information and give him a large sum of money for saving him from deception?

Moreover, he was being so discreet. As long as Ye Qingyun didn’t reveal anything, Gu Shenyuan wouldn’t catch him. Once he got the money, he would immediately flee!

He was so excited that he didn’t even realize Gu Shenyuan had walked up beside him, watching everything with a dark expression.

Ye Qingyun looked up and met Gu Shenyuan’s gaze.

Gu Shenyuan was actually concealing his feelings very well. At first glance, his dark eyes showed no ripples, but Ye Qingyun saw through his disguise immediately.

Gu Shenyuan was anxious, he was afraid. This anxiety pierced through all his pretense, allowing Ye Qingyun to instantly detect it.

Ye Qingyun waved at Gu Shenyuan, “What are you standing there for?”

Gu Shenyuan lowered his eyes and slowly walked over. As he passed the person who had been giving Ye Qingyun information, he slightly lifted his eyelids.

The person shivered, feeling utterly cold.

He was finished.

————

Every step Gu Shenyuan took felt like he was treading on the blazing fires of hell.

Ye Qingyun knew.

What would Ye Qingyun think? Although he had amnesia, Ye Qingyun clearly still held a vague emotional connection to the past.

When Ye Qingyun heard about him killing Pu Tian, would intense resentment rise in his heart?

Would Ye Qingyun break up with him? Would he want to leave him?

He didn’t know, and he didn’t dare to know.

Gu Shenyuan walked up to Ye Qingyun, his body taut, waiting for Ye Qingyun’s verdict.

He wouldn’t agree to a breakup. Ye Qingyun would never be allowed to leave him.

From now on, he would stick to Ye Qingyun’s side, preventing such incidents from happening, or perhaps… simply not allowing Ye Qingyun to see anyone else.

His Bloodline restriction had been lifted, and Ye Qingyun surely hoped he would no longer suffer, yet he was using this perfect, flawless body to plot against Ye Qingyun, to imprison him… How despicable and ridiculous.

Gu Shenyuan met Ye Qingyun’s bright eyes. Those eyes were like warm, gentle light, shining into his heart, illuminating his inner filth, leaving it nowhere to hide.

Ye Qingyun took Gu Shenyuan’s hand, squeezed it, and praised him, “You won again, you’re amazing. Are you tired?”

Gu Shenyuan froze, several thoughts rapidly spinning in his mind.

Optimistically, Qingyun had completely forgotten Pu Tian for some reason.

Pessimistically, Qingyun… was saving him face in public, which was why he was acting this way. They would talk it out when they got back.

Ye Qingyun felt Gu Shenyuan’s intense panic. He wanted to comfort Gu Shenyuan, but he also needed to maintain Gu Shenyuan’s image in the public eye, preventing others from thinking their relationship had problems. So, he could only coax him first, “Shenyuan is truly amazing, the best in the galaxy in my heart. You’ll definitely win the championship!”

Seeing Gu Shenyuan’s strange expression, the gossiping crowd, who had been straining their ears to listen, were instantly stuffed with a mouthful of public display of affection, feeling bloated.

To suspect that such a talented and beautiful couple had relationship problems—they must have been out of their minds!

Gu Shenyuan listened to Ye Qingyun’s words and forced a stiff smile.

Qingyun’s attitude… leaned increasingly toward the second possibility: saving him face outside, then confronting him later.

Even at a time like this, Qingyun… was still so good.

Gu Shenyuan barely knew how he spent the rest of the time. He defeated all his opponents in a daze, once again winning the Stone of Love awarded to the champion.

Ye Qingyun stood beside him, smiling happily.

This time, due to their identities, the host dared not stir up the crowd as they did last time. The presenter directly held the Stone of Love with both hands, ready to give it to Gu Shenyuan.

Gu Shenyuan lowered his eyes and did not accept it.

The expressions of the presenter and the host gradually stiffened. Ye Qingyun didn’t know what was happening and reached out blankly to tug Gu Shenyuan’s sleeve.

Gu Shenyuan suddenly spoke to the host, “I remember that to receive the Stone of Love, one must also pass a traditional rule. Why are you not requiring it this time?”

The host’s eyes spun, and he instantly realized.

The rule was that the winner and their lover must kiss before the prize was awarded, otherwise it would be withheld.

So Gu Shenyuan was displeased that they hadn’t given him the opportunity for a kiss this time!

Oh heavens, the Leader and his lover’s relationship was truly wonderful, never missing an opportunity for intimacy.

The host, a single dog, felt a pang of jealousy, but he professionally recited his lines, “That’s right! According to the rules, to claim our prize, you must offer a kiss to your lover to express your feelings! So—now, please welcome our champion couple to embrace and kiss!”

After hearing this, Ye Qingyun subconsciously turned to look at Gu Shenyuan.

A kiss? So direct? He hadn’t kissed Gu Shenyuan yet, he felt a little nervous!

“Qingyun.” Gu Shenyuan also looked over, his eyes as deep and dark as an ancient well, seeming to peer into Ye Qingyun’s heart to see his true thoughts. “Are you willing to…”

Ye Qingyun quickly pinched Gu Shenyuan where others couldn’t see, stopping him from continuing.

What did he mean, ‘was he willing’? If he asked that, others would think they were a fake couple!

Although they weren’t a real couple right now, they would be in the future!

Besides… did his face look like it said ‘unwilling’? Clearly not!

Ye Qingyun closed his eyes.

Closing his eyes meant waiting for a kiss. Gu Shenyuan should know this basic common sense, right?

If he didn’t know, Ye Qingyun would go back and beat him up, giving Gu Shenyuan a lesson in love.

“Qingyun…”

Gu Shenyuan’s eyes deepened further. He looked at Ye Qingyun’s slightly flushed face and leaned forward inch by inch.

A vast, dark mist rose, obscuring the view of everyone in the venue.

Gu Shenyuan kissed those long-missed lips again, his eyes filled with madness.
