After boarding the ship, Ren Qingying changed into a different outfit. She had never tidied up herself so quickly, nor had she ever looked forward to meeting a guy like this.
As soon as Gu WenCheng opened the door, he immediately stepped back and created some distance between them, frowning. “Is there something you need?”
“You…” Ren Qingying’s smile froze on her face.
“Baby,” a female voice from Gu WenCheng’s light brain came with a hint of playfulness, “what’s wrong? Is there someone at the door?”
Gu WenCheng’s icy expression suddenly softened. “It’s okay, just someone I don’t know.”
The difference in his attitude was too obvious, and Ren Qingying, as the person he claimed not to know, looked displeased.
“Do you need me to disconnect the communication first?” Li ZouXing, in the bedroom, felt like he was playing a female character.
“No need,” Gu WenCheng rejected without hesitation, “don’t disconnect.”
Li ZouXing’s original voice sounded much better.
“Alright,” Li ZouXing’s voice carried a smile because he knew his teammates were eavesdropping, so he was subtle, “let me give you a little kiss.”
“This won’t do,” Xi Nan had been shaking his head, “it’s too weak, too weak. Isn’t there a collection of spicy phrases on StarNet? Send it to ZouXing, and let him read it out, preferably scaring Ren Qingying to death.”
Ling Nian found and sent it to Li ZouXing, with a note: “[Don’t be shy, help WenCheng well, we won’t laugh].”
Gu WenCheng smirked. “Where should you kiss me?”
“I’ll kiss your forehead, kiss your eyebrows, kiss your cute Adam’s apple,” Li ZouXing flipped through this collection and it was just so weak, he was being subtle as if writing poetry, “I’ll kiss everything, but I won’t kiss your lips.”
Ren Qingying’s hand clenched tightly, anger welling up.
This woman was damn nasty!
Purposely seductive!
Playing hard to get!
“Why won’t you kiss my lips?” Gu WenCheng pursued, “How about kissing them tonight?”
“No,” Li ZouXing found the answer and hadn’t even said it when he felt goosebumps all over his body, “Who let you… kiss me last time… it hurt.”
Damn it!
He sent a threat to Ling Nian and the others with a dark expression, telling them to wait for him to teach them a lesson in a while.
His super-sensitive hearing clearly caught his teammates’ uncontrollable laughter.
Gu WenCheng struggled to hold back his laughter but couldn’t help it, bursting into laughter.
His smile was radiant, but Ren Qingying found it glaring.
The jealousy from the woman made her harbor malicious thoughts towards the woman talking to Gu WenCheng and she was already thinking of ways for her not to be wronged and how to get Gu WenCheng for herself.
It was during these two days, right here on this spaceship.
For the sake of love, Ren Qingying thought that no means were too extreme, especially since the man was the one taking advantage. She planned to take a bold approach.
She glared fiercely at the communicator but didn’t say anything, then turned and left the room.
As soon as she left, they all emerged from their rooms, feeling like they had solved the problem. “Is it resolved just like that?”
Li ZouXing knew she was planning to be forceful.
He frowned because the plot had shifted. The original text had nothing to do with Walter in the first half, but now, because of Walter, they had changed the time and place. Li ZouXing didn’t know what methods Ren Qingying would use to make her move.
“Xiao Xing, baby?” Gu WenCheng teased him in a flirtatious tone, showcasing his charm, wanting to capture Li ZouXing as quickly as possible. “You were good just now.”
“Very harmonious,” Li ZouXing replied. “How about calling me ‘big brother’ and see how that sounds?”
“I’m older than you,” Gu WenCheng said. “You can even call me ‘uncle.'”
Rarely did he intentionally reveal some information, but those who heard it thought he was joking and didn’t take it seriously.
Regardless of what Ren Qingying had in mind, the current Dream Team was relaxed. After the competition, they finally had the chance to take a shower and sleep in their beds. They couldn’t wait to clear their minds and sink into a deep slumber.
It felt like the first night of a newlywed couple, and both Li ZouXing and Gu WenCheng were quite excited.
But even in their excitement, they had no opportunity, so they could only wait impatiently.
Within the normal range of enjoyment, most of them had already satisfied their desires after two days.
Gu WenCheng truly lived up to expectations.
The young man’s mental energy was vigorous, and when they woke up on the second day, they were full of energy, with sunny faces.
The group went to the restaurant to have a meal. Out of curiosity, they observed the soldiers’ work on the spaceship. Suddenly, Li ZouXing thought of Tiran and asked the subordinate officer of Youmong, “Do you know about the incident involving the hijacked commercial spaceship Tiran?”
“I’ve heard about it,” the officer furrowed his brow. “I need to look into it.”
Li ZouXing thanked him. Since they came down from Tiran, they had conducted several investigations, but even with Ling Nian’s help, they hadn’t obtained any useful information. However, Jin Di’s demeanor didn’t seem ordinary; he was likely another formidable individual.
Ren Qingying didn’t appear in front of them all day today, but during dinner, she showed up with an exquisite makeup and a bottle of wine in hand.
She had a smiling face and a dazzling appearance. As long as she didn’t show any haughty demeanor, she could undoubtedly be considered a great beauty.
But her unusual behavior made even her companion, Ren Yingying, nervous.
“Qingying…”
Ren Qingying had already walked briskly to the Dream Team’s dining table and looked at Gu WenCheng affectionately. “I’m sorry for my previous actions. Can you forgive me, Gu WenCheng?”
The members of the Dream Team exchanged bewildered glances. Had she been driven insane by some stimulus?
Ren Qingying glanced at the table, found an empty glass, poured a glass of wine herself, and then handed it to Gu WenCheng. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have kept bothering you, especially since you have a girlfriend now. I wish you and her all the happiness. If you drink this glass of wine, it means you forgive me, okay?”
With the conversation having reached this point, it would be ungraceful to refuse.
Gu WenCheng lowered his gaze and looked at the glass of wine in her hand. His mental energy entered Ren Qingying’s mind, and she told him the answer under hypnosis.
It was a drug.
A desire-inducing drug.
Gu WenCheng’s mental energy withdrew, and Ren Qingying returned to normal. She blinked for a moment and continued to hand the glass of wine to Gu WenCheng. “WenCheng, can we start as friends, okay?”
After looking at the glass of wine for a good ten seconds, long enough for Ren Qingying to break out in a cold sweat, Gu WenCheng finally reached out and took it, smiling. “Sure.”
Li ZouXing blocked the glass with his hand when it touched Gu WenCheng’s lips. “I think something’s not right.”
“What’s not right?” Gu WenCheng, who knew exactly what was going on, put down his hand, drank the wine in one go before Li ZouXing could grab the glass, and said, “It tastes pretty good.”
Ren Qingying smiled with delight and, along with Ren Yingying, immediately returned to their room.
In her view, there were only two girls on the entire spaceship, and she would lock the door to her room and not let Ren Yingying out. Gu WenCheng had no one else to look for but her.
After the die1singular for dice was cast, she didn’t mind becoming Gu WenCheng’s second girlfriend.
Her overly cheerful departure was clearly suspicious, and Li ZouXing, with a grim face, pulled Gu WenCheng away from the dining table and led him all the way back to their room.
A clump of mental energy appeared in Gu WenCheng’s palm.
This transparent bundle of mental energy enveloped the drugged wine. When they passed by the bathroom, he poured Ren Qingying’s wine into it.
He didn’t drink it.
Of course, he didn’t drink it.
But Li ZouXing would only know that he had been drugged.
This was truly a marvelous opportunity to enhance their relationship.
A smirk tugged at the corner of Gu WenCheng’s lips.
After Li ZouXing locked the bedroom door with Gu WenCheng inside, he asked, “How do you feel now?”
Gu WenCheng furrowed his brows tightly. “A bit hot…”
“Damn it,” Li ZouXing muttered under his breath and was about to take him to the bathroom. “Let’s take a cold shower first.”
Li ZouXing didn’t want to take advantage of him in this situation.
However, Gu WenCheng didn’t move. “I feel uncomfortable.”
Even miraculous elixirs couldn’t take effect this quickly, but Li ZouXing didn’t notice.
Just the thought of what would happen next had Gu WenCheng’s face flushed with excitement.
The glint in his eyes didn’t require the assistance of any drugs.
This was getting complicated.
Li ZouXing sighed, “Let’s take a shower first, be a good boy.”
Hearing the words “be a good boy,” Gu WenCheng couldn’t resist any longer.
Without the need for any drugs, they finally experienced the feeling of mutual assistance.
As their hands touched, all the guilt and worries about their hidden desires disappeared.
Gu WenCheng had been teasing Li ZouXing for so long that he felt like a scoundrel who had seduced an innocent boy onto the wrong path.
“It’s normal between guys.”
“Is it comfortable? Do you want it again next time?”
“Don’t tell anyone, and don’t do this with anyone else.”
But the more they talked, the more uncomfortable Gu WenCheng felt.
Who would believe it, after all? The famous Walter, too afraid to speak his true thoughts, resorted to telling a string of lies to deceive a young boy.
Gu WenCheng closed his eyes.
He held onto Li ZouXing’s head as if this could somehow merge him into his own body.
But this was his one-sided desire.
The other party had no idea about his hidden intentions. This wasn’t something out in the open, but rather an intimacy shrouded in secrecy, something even the parties involved didn’t fully understand.
In the room, the only sound was their breathing. Their clothes were still on, and Li ZouXing, drenched in sweat, restrained himself, saying, “Go take a cold shower.”
His heart was already cold enough; his body was the only thing still hot. Gu WenCheng thought, what’s the point of taking a cold shower?
He couldn’t think, the more he thought, the more desolate he felt.
Emotions swayed his rationality, and just as happiness was about to return once again, Gu WenCheng couldn’t help but say, “I like you…”
This was like a bolt from the blue, stopping Li ZouXing in his tracks. He spat out a pomegranate seed and stood up, pressing both hands against the wall behind Gu WenCheng’s ears, his eyes burning with a fiery intensity. “What did you say?”
The fire blazed, consuming the already shaky rationality of Gu WenCheng. “Didn’t you hear clearly? I said I’ve taken a liking to you, I like you, I want to touch you, kiss you, possess you, like how a man likes a woman.”
It wasn’t a relationship between teammates, not an ordinary rivalry, not an ordinary relationship between guys.
His back was against the wall, and the temperature rose until the white wall itself seemed to heat up.
The planned gradual approach suddenly crumbled.
Even though he hadn’t drunk that glass of water, he couldn’t control himself.
His heartbeats felt like they were about to leap out of his throat.
Li ZouXing’s lips were desperately suppressing a smile, trying to hold it back, but he couldn’t. “I…”
He withdrew his hands, adjusted his clothes, and even thought about fixing his hair, wanting to show respect for this topic.
But Gu WenCheng’s heart had been thoroughly chilled by his reaction.
What did this mean? Fear? Did he want to leave?
His rationality snapped back instantly. He covered Li ZouXing’s mouth and spun him around forcefully, pinning him against the wall. “Listen to me.”
He didn’t give the other a chance to refuse. “I’m sorry, I was disoriented by the drug, I said the wrong thing. Please don’t mind.”
Damn it!
How should he smooth this over?!
The dark emotions in Gu WenCheng’s eyes grew stronger and he whispered, “Don’t believe it, okay? Er… ZouXing?”
“I was just talking nonsense,” Li ZouXing said, “Don’t worry about it. How could I possibly like a guy? Don’t be afraid, and don’t leave me. Be obedient.”
That sense of danger, tinged with a dark transformation, made it seem as though Gu WenCheng could lock him up if he didn’t answer correctly.
Li ZouXing stared deeply into his eyes. He had originally intended to say, “What a coincidence, I feel like I really like you too.”
The word “like” had such a heartwarming quality to it, innocent yet capable of accelerating one’s heart rate.
For most of his life, Li ZouXing had never imagined that he would one day utter these two words. He had wanted to say them so sincerely, feeling that the weight of these two words wasn’t heavy enough.
But now, this sentence was completely stuck in his throat because of Gu WenCheng.
His lips moved slightly, and Gu WenCheng began to feel anxious.
But he suppressed these emotions and, trembling, let go of him.
What he wanted was Li ZouXing’s smile, his feelings for him. He didn’t want Li ZouXing to despise him.
Just thinking about it made him… afraid.
“Don’t hate me,” Gu WenCheng lowered his gaze, “I said the wrong thing, ZouXing.”
“Well, since you think you said the wrong thing, I’ll say something wrong too,” Li ZouXing said, “I think I might be crazy. I actually hope that what you said, about liking me, is true.”
Gu WenCheng’s breath caught.
But Li ZouXing had already pushed him away and walked out of the room, heading for the bathroom.
Translator’s corner:
I suddenly want to murder the two of them huhu why can’t they just confess to each other properly? AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
