After Being Transformed Into Cannon Fodder For Death, The Heartthrob Chapter 67

Ye Qingyun’s main goal, besides surfing the net to enjoy the fun of the netizens, was to understand the current level of technological development and to study it.

So, after waking up, Ye Qingyun opened his terminal again to browse.

His current access permissions were the same as Gu Shenyuan’s, making it much easier to look up information than for ordinary people—he had unrestricted access everywhere.

But before searching, he couldn’t resist checking the place where he had previously left a comment. He wasn’t too surprised to find that the post he made had been marked with a row of lit candles by netizens, wishing him a safe journey and advising him not to pretend to be rich again after his ‘rehabilitation’ was over.

Clearly, his previous statement about not being caught was not taken seriously by the public.

Ye Qingyun didn’t mind; it was just a joke anyway, and he didn’t care what others thought.

Ye Qingyun continued his search. Current technological research was flourishing, and even ordinary people enjoyed discussing it.

Ye Qingyun successfully found links to advanced technology introductions in those forums. He selected the most formidable one, which was also the most difficult for ordinary people to enter, and clicked in.

The forum itself had an entry threshold, but Ye Qingyun possessed the highest intergalactic access authority, allowing him to enter easily without any hindrance.

The homepage displayed two main sections: one half was dedicated to discussions and technical sharing regarding various issues, and the other half was dedicated to discussions about various well-known technical personnel.

These discussions included debates about their looks, their character, and all sorts of recent gossip about them—it was truly diverse.

Ye Qingyun: “…”

Sure enough, gossip was inextinguishable no matter where you went.

Ye Qingyun shook his head and clicked into a post focused on concentrated knowledge sharing.

Ye Qingyun initially thought he might struggle to understand this knowledge, but to his surprise, he read it with unusual smoothness. Even if he only glanced at the information, the knowledge was quickly understood, absorbed, and integrated by him.

Some of the concepts were considered difficult to grasp without a solid foundation, yet he could comprehend them after only a moment’s thought.

It was as if the knowledge had always been there, temporarily forgotten because it was covered in dust. Now that the dust was wiped clean, the original appearance of those things resurfaced in his mind.

Ye Qingyun scanned all the content, a faint sense of pride rising in his heart.

Was this… was this the feeling of having a Golden Finger?

He must have been truly amazing before!

Good, worthy of him! Worthy of being the man who could conquer Gu Shenyuan with his intellect!

After reading several knowledge posts in a short time, Ye Qingyun decided to take a break.

In fact, the moment he clicked onto the homepage of this knowledge forum, he was attracted by a certain gossip post. The fact that he managed to hold out until now showed that his self-control was quite good.

Ye Qingyun left the knowledge post and, unable to suppress his curiosity, clicked into the gossip post titled: [Diving into the Love-Hate Sagas of Past Research Titans: Melodrama, High Society Chaos, Guaranteed to Shock Your Eyes!]

Ye Qingyun subtly glanced around, locked the door, and sat in a corner, just in case Gu Shenyuan suddenly appeared and saw the screen.

…Would that post contain information about his past?

Even now, he was still confused about why he would fall for an unknown person with questionable character.

Gu Shenyuan was unwilling to tell him, so surely there was no problem with him seeking the truth himself?

Ye Qingyun held his breath and read from the beginning, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Time passed slowly, and Ye Qingyun’s brow furrowed gradually.

…Nothing, absolutely nothing.

He had already reached the later parts. The famous melodramatic figures had been discussed, and the rest were unknown minor characters with unexciting plots—very boring.

Others reading the post clearly thought the same, as they began to comment on the excitement level of the stories.

[I declare that the most melodramatic story is the great drama of the three Xia family brothers using each other as substitutes, where ultimately no one won. This is the number one melodrama in the academic world. Who supports this, and who opposes?]

[Support! Everything else lacks flavor compared to this one.]

[The targets of this melodrama were actually officials with some status. Tsk tsk tsk, other stories involving ordinary people just lack the prestige in comparison!]

[Exactly, exactly.]

Ye Qingyun personally agreed that the story was the most melodramatic, but he wasn’t interested either. He glanced at it a few times and was about to exit when the post automatically refreshed, and an opposing view appeared below:

[Heh, you think this is your number one melodrama? Youngsters truly lack experience.]

[Officials with some status are impressive? Cut the crap. There are much more impressive things, you just don’t know about them.]

Ye Qingyun looked at those lines, realized something, and immediately perked up, quickly typing to fan the flames:

[Trying to hide something! I insist the three brothers are the most melodramatic. If you say otherwise, give an example! Hmph, I think you’re just jealous of how good-looking those three brothers are, that’s why you’re opposing!]

After typing this, Ye Qingyun nervously kept refreshing the page, waiting to see if anyone would take the bait and tell him the hidden story.

Hard work paid off. Ye Qingyun finally refreshed the page and saw the reply he wanted.

[Hehe, what are petty officials worth? There was one researcher who was directly seized by that person, and even the Star Pirate Crew Captain he always liked was killed by that person. Compared to that, everyone else is child’s play! I’m not lying; many Star Pirates knew that the researcher liked a Scum Gong Captain back then.]

Ye Qingyun’s eyes widened.

…A Scum Gong Star Pirate Crew Captain?

Ye Qingyun subconsciously refreshed the page and saw new comments:

[Are you crazy! Delete that immediately! Is this the kind of thing you can talk about carelessly? Don’t think you can be reckless just because this is a closed forum!]

[This is unreliable rumor-mongering! Discussion about that person and the Star Pirate Crew Captain has been completely banned, and you still dare to bring it up! Are you insane!]

Refreshing again, the entire post was deleted, leaving no information behind.

Ye Qingyun was stunned, an unbelievable thought rising in his mind.

According to the original novel’s plot, the person he liked before he lost his memory… wouldn’t be Pu Tian, would it?

If so, the entire plot made sense—even why he encountered Gu Shenyuan and why he was teaching the person his admirer loved.

…No, it still didn’t make sense. If he liked Pu Tian, and Pu Tian asked him to teach his Love Rival, Gu Shenyuan, he would definitely roll his eyes and walk away immediately.

What kind of joke was that? He wasn’t that masochistic.

And how could he possibly like Pu Tian? He genuinely didn’t like that type of Scum Gong.

So what exactly was the reason?

The more Ye Qingyun thought about it, the stranger the situation seemed. He exited the forum, planning to search for some information about Pu Tian.

When he saw Gu Shenyuan’s video, the affection in his heart surged uncontrollably, indicating that even with amnesia, he still had subconscious emotional reactions to people from his past.

If he searched for Pu Tian’s videos and pictures and saw the person, he could probably figure out what his past state was like.

Ye Qingyun decided to search for information about Pu Tian on the public search engine first. He typed the name Pu Tian into the search bar, and just as he was about to hit search, the terminal screen suddenly went black.

The terminal broke, and precisely at this moment?

While he was searching for Pu Tian’s information?

Ye Qingyun tapped the screen, and a thought he had always ignored suddenly flashed through his mind.

Many of his and Gu Shenyuan’s terminal permissions were linked. So, would Gu Shenyuan know about the actions he took and the content he searched for on the terminal?

This was such an obvious thing to watch out for, yet he only just realized it. He blamed it on his lack of experience in being wary of Gu Shenyuan, leaving him unprepared for the moment.

“Click—”

A sound suddenly came from outside the locked door. It sounded like someone was frantically twisting the doorknob, attempting to break in.

“Who is it?” Ye Qingyun asked bravely.

There was no answer from outside. The person twisting the doorknob seemed to have left.

Before Ye Qingyun could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a soft “patta,” and the door slowly opened, pushing out a small gap.

Ye Qingyun was slightly startled, but he asked gently, “Shenyuan, is that you? Are you calling me out for dinner?”

The only person who would dare to treat him this way here was Gu Shenyuan himself; otherwise, Gu Shenyuan would have twisted their neck long ago.

The gap in the door widened slightly. Ye Qingyun couldn’t see the face but recognized the familiar corner of the clothing, finally letting out a sigh of relief and walking forward.

As the distance and angle changed, Ye Qingyun saw the appearance of the person behind the door.

Standing outside was indeed Gu Shenyuan. Gu Shenyuan’s head was lowered, not looking at him, and his expression was tightly strained, like a volcano about to erupt.

Ye Qingyun’s heart tightened. He grasped Gu Shenyuan’s hand: “What’s wrong?”

————

Gu Shenyuan hadn’t expected the happy, stable, and peaceful life he envisioned to end so quickly.

He had wanted to take advantage of Ye Qingyun’s lack of memory to deepen their relationship, basely wanting to experience a relationship where there was no one else influencing them, just the two of them.

But he hadn’t expected Ye Qingyun to recall Pu Tian’s name from just a few words.

Besides the name, what else had Ye Qingyun remembered? To recall a forgotten person, one usually remembers their appearance and voice first, then the things they did together, and finally the name.

Qingyun… must have recalled many other things about Pu Tian, right?

He recalled how he himself had stood before the amnesiac Ye Qingyun, and Ye Qingyun hadn’t remembered a single thing about their past. Compared to the present…

…He had lost.

A bitter smile touched Gu Shenyuan’s lips. He pulled Ye Qingyun into his embrace and kissed Ye Qingyun’s red lips, which had been about to say something.
