    Chapter 18: Green Tea Movie Star x Reserved President 18

    It was the dead of winter.

    Gu Changli and Xie Chi were enjoying their quiet time alone at home, surrounded by an invisible aura of pink bubbles.

    The atmosphere was wonderful, and their interactions were harmonious.

    Xie Chi, beaming, held his beloved wife close, feeding him the dessert he had just made.

    “Wife, try this blueberry cake.”

    Gu Changli didn’t refuse, sampling the little cake. His cheeks puffed out slightly, his eyes filled with a radiant smile as he took a bite.

    “Delicious, your skills are getting better and better.”

    Hearing this praise, Xie Chi perked up as if he’d been injected with adrenaline, raising his chin and saying proudly, “For my wife, I can do even better!”

    He leaned in, all clingy and affectionate. “Wife, should we go out for a stroll tomorrow?”

    Gu Changli said gently, “I have to go to the company tomorrow. There are two important cooperation projects to discuss. I’ll take you out on a date the day after tomorrow.”

    “You decide the place, I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

    Xie Chi was a little disappointed, but he quickly recovered, looking at Gu Changli with concern. “Alright, I’ll plan it. But you must take care of yourself, don’t exhaust yourself, okay? Otherwise, I’ll feel sorry for you.”

    Gu Changli gazed tenderly at Xie Chi, gradually getting used to his way of speaking, and a beautiful smile appeared on his lips.

    “Yes, I’ll take good care of myself.”

    Hearing this, Xie Chi leaned in and kissed Gu Changli’s lips, holding him as if he were a precious treasure, his eyes only seeing Gu Changli’s figure.

    Extreme contentment rose in his heart.

    The person before him was his beloved, and nothing could make him happier than that.

    “Many things happened this year, but meeting you and falling in love with you is the happiest thing of all.”

    “Changli, I hope to have you by my side in the future.”

    Gu Changli calmly pinched Xie Chi’s chin, directly feeling the overwhelming love, his eyes gradually drawn in completely by Xie Chi.

    “Xie Chi, your wish will come true.”

    Because the person before him was the human spark he was fortunate enough to meet after navigating through mountains and rivers.

    And he had come for Xie Chi in the first place.

    While the two of them were indulging in romance, the cat System 143 in the system space was completely bewildered.

    System 143Violence and turmoil.jpg (System 143 wearily lighting a cigarette.jpg)

    System 143 was a bit confused.

    Whether it was the host’s current identity as a calm, reserved, and intelligent young master from a wealthy family, or the host’s true identity as the Child of Destiny/Favored of Heaven of the Canglan World.

    It couldn’t understand why Changli, who had once proven his Dao through slaughter, would be fond of Xie Chi.

    Or rather, Xie Chi’s previous life, the Golden Lion Demon Lord, to be more precise.

    After it was bound to Changli, it received a rough summary of the beautiful host’s past experiences. Although the information was limited, it was quite clear.

    In his youth, he was the Nine Heads Phoenix God, saving the world and its people.

    Later, because of a half-finished prophecy, he became a scourge in the eyes of all races in the Three Realms, everyone wanting to kill him. He died a total of nine times.

    His first death was a suicide to save his people.

    The following eight deaths were all homicides, each one more tragic and heroic than the last.

    He gradually became cold-hearted, unfeeling, and without desire.

    Later, Changli changed, starting from a pure lotus untainted by mud, growing into a black-hearted lotus, and finally proving the Supreme Dao through The Way of Slaughter.

    Changli also became a true Child of Destiny/Favored of Heaven.

    A classic character like him, beautiful, strong, and tragic, was basically destined to be forever alone, a widowed king of his generation. But Changli just so happened to have a first love.

    Yes, the kind that dies young and becomes a white moonlight.

    And even though the white moonlight was dead, he was still unwavering in his devotion to his lover, completely dead, a true representation of a devoted lover.

    System 143 quietly asked: [Host, why did you fall in love with Xie Chi?]

    [Although Xie Chi is outstanding, he pales in comparison to the endless stream of geniuses in the Canglan World. If you like men, there are plenty of choices.]

    Gu Changli, who was snuggling with Xie Chi, didn’t reply to System 143 immediately. Instead, his gaze was focused on Xie Chi’s bright smile.

    The other party was beaming because of his words.

    Even though Xie Chi’s face was different from before, his soul was the same.

    This person was his Dao companion, whom he held in his heart.

    Xie Chi’s eyebrows danced as he grinned, looking back at the stunningly beautiful Gu Changli, and taking the other’s hand, he lowered his head and kissed it.

    “Wife, I will cherish this relationship.”

    He squeezed Gu Changli’s hand, solemnly saying to Gu Changli, “I will always be biased towards you, just like a sunflower always faces the sun.”

    Gu Changli couldn’t help but laugh.

    This mouth was as if it was coated in honey, so sweet.

    His cousin Gu Mingyuan was right, being a simp is the best dowry for a man.

    Xie Chi’s heart was pounding like a deer.

    He didn’t cover his heart, but instead put his arms around the beauty who was already in his embrace.

    “Wife’s smile is so beautiful.”

    “Even though I’ve seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, no scenery can compare to you.”

    He lowered his head and placed an extremely devout and lingering kiss on the corner of Gu Changli’s left eye, then met those affectionate, slender phoenix eyes.

    His beloved wife’s eyes were dark and deep, dangerous and alluring, constantly stirring his heart, making him want to pounce on him.

    Xie Chi, you must restrain yourself, don’t turn into a wolf!

    Just as Xie Chi was convincing himself, System 143, who thought it wouldn’t get an answer, received a reply from its beautiful host.

    “…Because I met that demon who was both similar to me and complemented me when I was at my lowest and most confused. He loved my brightness and my brokenness, and clumsily and passionately gave me all his love.”

    Hearing these words, System 143: [???]

    What does that mean? It’s so complicated! The data links seem to be rubbing and catching fire.

    Gu Changli didn’t continue to explain, but just gazed deeply at Xie Chi, whose eyes were shining.

    Meeting the right person at the right time wasn’t a strong heartbeat, but a long-lasting sense of peace.

    Whether in the past or now, there were always people who thought he was foolish to be stuck in past love affairs, and even felt that he wasn’t worthy of sitting in that position.

    However, people had never experienced the hardships and trials he had experienced in the past, so naturally they couldn’t understand the importance of the Golden Lion Demon Lord to him.

    It was the only light in the endless abyss, and the salvation that pulled him out of the abyss.

    They were fellow travelers, and also those who warmed each other.

    Even though the Golden Lion Demon Lord had never said it explicitly, he knew that in the Golden Lion Demon Lord’s eyes, he was also the sunshine and savior that pulled him out of the endless darkness.

    Maybe neither of them was the best, but having each other was better than anything.

    The Golden Lion Demon Lord was a great demon, and he was a ferocious beast.

    They were beloveds who could entrust their backs and their hearts to each other, and they were also existences who would lick each other’s wounds and soothe each other’s trauma when they were hurt. The two of them were each other’s best choice.

    The Golden Lion Demon Lord was the only flower of love that grew strongly in his lonely and barren years.

    With the Golden Lion Demon Lord, there would be a complete Changli.
