After Being Transformed Into Cannon Fodder For Death, The Heartthrob Chapter 72

Regarding the marriage proposal, considering that Gu Shenyuan was a rather stubborn and aloof person, Ye Qingyun’s requirements were not actually high.

“You don’t need to look up other people’s proposal methods online. As long as it’s something you’ve seriously thought about yourself, that’s enough,” Ye Qingyun said.

Gu Shenyuan considered himself completely devoid of romantic cells, and Ye Qingyun’s request caused him a slight headache.

He only knew outdated proposal methods, such as the surprise proposal where the ring is hidden in a cake, or suddenly kneeling down on one knee in the middle of the street to bravely propose to a partner under the gaze of a crowd.

But these methods were completely unoriginal. Ye Qingyun wouldn’t like any of them, he was sure. He had to come up with a unique, thoughtful proposal method that matched Ye Qingyun’s preferences. This method had to fully express his feelings.

So, how did he want to treat Ye Qingyun?

He wanted to stay by Ye Qingyun’s side every step of the way, giving him comprehensive protection; he wanted to be close to Ye Qingyun, having physical contact every moment; he wanted to press against Ye Qingyun’s body, feeling that captivating body temperature; he wanted to…

Gu Shenyuan thought for a very long time, and finally, combining his own conditions, he came up with a gift.

Gu Shenyuan rushed to create the gift without delay, finally completing it in the evening.

At this time, Ye Qingyun had just finished showering. Dressed in a loose bathrobe, he was sitting on the bed reading a book.

His fair, slender neck curved into an alluring arc, his profile made his eyelashes look even longer, and his entire face was exquisite with a scholarly air. Every part of him was exactly the way Gu Shenyuan liked it best.

Gu Shenyuan hesitated at the door for a moment before pushing it open.

Ye Qingyun looked up at him and smiled.

“Why the expression? I’m not going to scold you,” Ye Qingyun said, finding it funny.

Was he so nervous because he couldn’t think of a satisfactory proposal method? But he wasn’t that unreasonable; as long as Gu Shenyuan seriously told him he wanted to marry him, he would agree.

Ye Qingyun hinted, “Actually, it’s not that strict. Just try it boldly, don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Gu Shenyuan took out a box from behind his back.

Ye Qingyun was slightly puzzled. “For me?”

Gu Shenyuan nodded. Ye Qingyun got off the bed and took the box.

But as he got closer, Ye Qingyun noticed that Gu Shenyuan’s face was pale, and his complexion was clearly not as good as usual.

Ye Qingyun grew worried. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Gu Shenyuan shook his head. “I’m fine. Look at this first.”

Ye Qingyun frowned but followed Gu Shenyuan’s instruction and opened the box in his hand.

It was a gift box, only about the size of a palm. Ye Qingyun opened it and saw a folded black object made of a strange material inside.

Ye Qingyun picked the gift out of the box. It felt smooth and soft to the touch. When unfolded, it became a black robe, light as air.

“This is…” Ye Qingyun touched the clothing, feeling an increasingly strange sense of familiarity. “It’s beautiful, I like it very much. What is it?”

Gu Shenyuan lowered his eyes to look at the robe and said softly, “It’s my Ability.”

“Huh?” Ye Qingyun was shocked. “Your Ability? Why would you suddenly give me this? Your face looks so pale, is it because of this?”

Moreover, could Gu Shenyuan’s Ability even be made into something like this? Had Gu Shenyuan been sewing clothes for him all day? That was too domesticated!

“I thought for a long time about how to propose to you,” Gu Shenyuan continued. “After much thought, I felt that this was the best way to express my feelings.”

Ye Qingyun had a belly full of questions, but he didn’t ask them, choosing to listen to Gu Shenyuan finish first.

“This Ability is different from others; it won’t dissipate, but remains condensed. If you wear it and encounter danger, it will protect you.”

Ye Qingyun suddenly understood. So this was a protective suit Gu Shenyuan was giving him.

Gu Shenyuan must have put a lot of effort into making this garment.

Ye Qingyun was very touched. He held the clothing and said to Gu Shenyuan, “I’ll go change into it right now!”

Gu Shenyuan stopped him, his eyes deep. “I haven’t finished speaking.”

Ye Qingyun stopped again, looking at Gu Shenyuan happily.

“Qingyun, this garment means more than just that. Think carefully before you decide whether to accept it,” Gu Shenyuan said.

Ye Qingyun didn’t quite understand. He thought for a moment, and his face flushed slightly.

He realized. This garment was Gu Shenyuan’s proposal attire. Accepting it meant accepting Gu Shenyuan’s proposal.

Could he possibly refuse? He wasn’t out of his mind!

“This garment is made from my Ability, and I can sense everything it senses,” Gu Shenyuan explained. “In other words, when you wear this garment, I can feel every contact between your skin and the fabric.”

Ye Qingyun was dumbfounded, and the clothing in his hands suddenly felt scorching hot.

This, this wasn’t just clothing; it was practically a sensual toy!

“This garment was never meant for friends or relatives; it is only suitable to be given to one person,” something was surging in Gu Shenyuan’s eyes, and he stared unblinkingly at Ye Qingyun. “Wearing this garment means accepting my protection, accepting my desire, and revealing your entire body to me.”

Ye Qingyun gripped the clothing, forcing himself to remain calm. “I know.”

Gu Shenyuan paused for a long while after saying that, before finally speaking the last sentence: “I want to be with you forever, Qingyun. Will you marry me?”

Gu Shenyuan’s eyes initially appeared calm and composed. But in reality, his heart was filled with tension and anxiety.

Would Ye Qingyun reject him? If Ye Qingyun rejected him, he would have to go back and think of another proposal method.

If it was just dissatisfaction with the method, that would be fine, but if it was dissatisfaction with him as a person…

Ye Qingyun squeezed the clothing and answered evasively, “Turn around and don’t look at me first.”

Gu Shenyuan didn’t understand what Ye Qingyun wanted to do. He turned around, listening carefully to the movements behind him.

Ye Qingyun’s movements were very light; he couldn’t hear anything. Just as a hint of worry rose in Gu Shenyuan’s heart, he felt a warmth.

It was the temperature of Ye Qingyun’s skin.

Gu Shenyuan’s eyes widened slightly, realizing what was happening.

He felt more and more warm skin, and besides the temperature, there was the delicate texture of the skin. Ye Qingyun’s body curves appeared one by one in his mind.

“It fits quite well,” Ye Qingyun’s surprised voice rang out.

Gu Shenyuan couldn’t hold back anymore. He turned around to face Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun had taken off the bathrobe he was wearing and put on the black robe he had given him. His already fair skin, set against the pure black robe, looked even more flawless, like mutton-fat jade.

“Of course it fits,” Gu Shenyuan’s voice became uncontrollably hoarse. “I told you, I have kissed every inch of your skin. I know all your measurements perfectly.”

Ye Qingyun ran to the mirror and looked at himself. He had to admit that Gu Shenyuan’s craftsmanship was quite good; the robe looked excellent on him.

Was this the power of love?

Gu Shenyuan walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist. “Qingyun, you still haven’t told me…”

Ye Qingyun laughed helplessly. “I’ve already changed into the clothes, and you’re still asking me that question?”

Ye Qingyun turned around and buried himself in Gu Shenyuan’s embrace, hiding his flushed face. “I want to walk with you forever too. Let’s get married!”

“Get married?”

Hearing this news suddenly, all the officials in the meeting with Gu Shenyuan were instantly stunned.

“Yes,” Gu Shenyuan’s face maintained its usual expressionless demeanor when dealing with subordinates, but anyone who wasn’t blind could see the joy on his face now.

“Congratulations, congratulations!” The officials offered their blessings in a clamor, afraid of being a moment too slow.

“I have to thank you all for this,” Gu Shenyuan said. “If you hadn’t brought him back, I might never have seen him again in this lifetime.”

The officials also chuckled.

Who would have thought? Back when Gu Shenyuan was so depressed, they had only wanted to find someone who could talk to him. To think that by sheer coincidence, they had managed to bring Gu Shenyuan’s lover back.

Some of the more thoughtful ministers, while happy about the news, immediately realized a difficult point.

“Sir, do you plan to inform the entire Star Net about your marriage?” one official asked cautiously. “Your popularity among the public is very high. If you announce the marriage, it might cause some people to develop a rebellious mentality, leading to a decline in your popularity.”

Gu Shenyuan almost laughed. Popularity? He sat in this position never relying on popularity.

“Announce it. Don’t worry about those things,” Gu Shenyuan said coldly.

He wanted everyone to know that Ye Qingyun belonged to him. Anyone who harbored ill intentions toward Ye Qingyun would have to get past him first.

Ye Qingyun had no objection to Gu Shenyuan’s decision to go public.

Hmph! This way, everyone would know that the Heartthrob Gu Shenyuan was his. Anyone who liked Gu Shenyuan and wanted to approach him would have to get past him first.

That day, Gu Shenyuan brought him a letter from the Minister of Rites.

“The Minister said that if we are going to hold a wedding ceremony, it would be best to study the wedding etiquette,” Gu Shenyuan said. “I wasn’t sure if you’d be interested in this, so I brought your copy over. If you don’t like it, ignore it. If you’re interested, take a look.”

Ye Qingyun was deeply interested in all kinds of knowledge. He immediately tore open the envelope and saw the study materials inside.

The beginning was all normal, covering matters requiring attention during a large-scale wedding. However, when Ye Qingyun flipped to the back, he was instantly shocked.
