The soft, fluffy white bunny pajamas were adorned with a galaxy.
"What is this?" Ji Zhaoming exclaimed in amazement as he could feel the uneven surface of the stars when he touched it. "It looks like it."
Gu Yunzhou said, "It's Star D."
Ji Zhaoming: ? ?
Ji Zhaoming: "Model?"
"It's a shrunken version." This is the first planet Gu Yunzhou has acquired. It hasn't been developed yet and retains its original state. The planet isn't large, but the stars inside are exceptionally beautiful.
Of course, in Gu Yunzhou's eyes, the only one who could be called beautiful was their king.
But the moment he saw the planet, he decided to give it to the person he was waiting for.
If Ji Zhaoming never appears, this planet will remain forever shrouded in gray.
“This…” Ji Zhaoming was about to refuse, but seeing Gu Yunzhou’s serious look, he withdrew his refusal and changed his words to, “Thank you, I like it very much.”
"Hmm." After giving this gift, the rest was up to him. Gu Yunzhou took two steps back so that Ji Zhaoming could see the warehouse, and turned his head to ask, "Is there anything else you want to take?"
This planet is already precious enough; Ji Zhaoming had no right to ask for a second one, so he smiled and shook his head in refusal.
Gu Yunzhou said, "Then pack them all up."
Put everything in the warehouse into the ring, wrap the ring with a rope, and with his head slightly lowered, fasten the rope around his neck.
Although it has no interest in human books, it did include a piece of information in its vast database—a ring is a symbol of love and should not be given or received casually.
Therefore, there is a possibility of rejection.
Gu Yunzhou didn't do anything uncertain, so he chose to personally place the ring on his king's neck. After placing it, he fiddled with the ring, then suddenly took Ji Zhaoming's hand and placed it on the gemstone of the ring.
"Close your eyes," Gu Yunzhou said softly.
Ji Zhaoming subconsciously closed his eyes. It seemed as if someone was playing with his fingers. Ji Zhaoming's eyelids trembled slightly several times, and his body tensed up instinctively.
"Relax." Gu Yunzhou always spoke concisely, never speaking when he could express something with his eyes, and never saying more than one word when he could resolve something with a single word. But his king was too tense, so Gu Yunzhou added, "Please relax, Master."
This title made Ji Zhaoming's heart rise high and then fall hard.
Gu Yunzhou said, "Inject your spiritual energy into the ring."
This was definitely outside Ji Zhaoming's area of knowledge. He tilted his head, opened his eyes, and asked, "What...?"
Her eyelids had just opened, and before she could even see what was in front of her, they were gently closed again by a hand.
The owner of this hand has a faint fragrance, not very strong, and you can't smell it at all unless you sniff carefully. It is as cold and aloof as a snow mountain, living high up and not to be touched.
Ji Zhaoming took a long breath, then immediately realized what he was doing and held his breath.
Gu Yunzhou said softly, "Don't open your eyes, Master. Please recall the location of the ring and look for it with your mental power."
He was just an ordinary person, so what spiritual power did he have? But perhaps because Gu Yunzhou's words were so convincing at this moment, Ji Zhaoming began to focus his attention on his hands and feel the ring on his hand, following the content of the words.
bite.
My mind suddenly became clear.
This is too amazing. Ji Zhaoming's eyes twitched twice, and then the hands covering his eyes were removed.
Just as he was about to open his eyes, he suddenly felt warmth and heard breathing on the back of his hand.
Gu Yunzhou knelt on one knee, took his hand, and reverently kissed the back of his hand. He opened his eyes and saw the red string on Ji Zhaoming's wrist, and a feeling of jealousy arose in his heart.
He is not a robot. Even if he is loyal to his king, he will inevitably have rebellious feelings at certain times.
—He wanted to pin his king beneath him and make him his one and only treasure.
However, upon meeting Ji Zhaoming's astonished gaze, Gu Yunzhou suppressed all these thoughts and buried them deep within his icy demeanor. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Master, look outside."
Ji Zhaoming looked out the window.
The night was quiet and beautiful, but...
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
However, soon, blooming flowers were reflected in his pupils.
Those are fireworks.
Clusters of fireworks added various colors to the tranquil night, like a fine inkstone that had been overturned and remained quiet because no one had cleaned it up. However, a little fairy appeared out of nowhere, waved her hand, and mixed in freshly picked flowers, and the night slowly blossomed with the feeling of spring on the paper.
"What is this?" Ji Zhaoming's eyes widened.
“This is a gift we present to the King,” Gu Yunzhou said slowly. “Welcome, King, to this world.”

Chapter 8
Green Tea
Ji Zhaoming couldn't remember how he ended up in bed.
The fireworks display was so spectacular that even though he knew he was the king of the robots and the master recognized by Gu Yunzhou, he was still taken aback by the unexpected display and finally let out a gasp of amazement.
His mind was a complete mess, with images of fireworks flashing through his head. In the end, Ji Zhaoming was helped back to bed by Gu Yunzhou, his hands and feet clasped together.
Just as Gu Yunzhou was about to leave, a sliver of clarity finally flashed through Ji Zhaoming's muddled mind. He grabbed Gu Yunzhou's sleeve and whispered, "Please thank them for me."
Gu Yunzhou grasped Ji Zhaoming's hand and said in a low voice, "Okay."
After a pause, Gu Yunzhou added, "The fireworks were prepared to be presented after I met the Queen."
Unlike the treasures in the warehouse, which the robots collected before Ji Zhaoming woke up, the fireworks were an extra gift they wanted to give to their king after they actually met Ji Zhaoming.
That's why, even though the materials used for the fireworks were the best, the design and welcome message after the fireworks exploded were decided after going through all the materials and arguing for a long time.
Although in terms of value, it is much cheaper than the treasures in the warehouse.
but……
Ji Zhaoming learned of Gu Yunzhou's unfinished words.
It was not given for all of humanity represented by the title of "King".
It was given to Ji Zhaoming only.
In Ji Zhaoming's mind, this fireworks display was more valuable than all the treasures in the warehouse combined.
But Ji Zhaoming was puzzled: "Why?"
They've only spent half a day together, is it really worth putting in so much effort?
Ji Zhaoming didn't think he had that much charm.
The coldness that had been lingering between Gu Yunzhou's brows was washed away, replaced by gentleness, which made Ji Zhaoming begin to doubt whether he had seen it wrong.
Gu Yunzhou said casually, "It's not a big deal for them."
"Moreover," Gu Yunzhou said, sitting down next to Ji Zhaoming. He reached up his sleeve and touched Ji Zhaoming's hand, casually rubbing Ji Zhaoming's fingers. But his words were unusually serious: "Master, you are very good. Don't underestimate yourself."
Robots have always been ostracized by other races, but they have never thought of integrating into them, because apart from the orders of their leaders and kings, robots have always only wanted to do what they want to do.
They are all very pure, without much distinction between good and bad, or likes and dislikes. There have even been doubts: can they be called sentient beings?
No one could tell them the answer.
They could only rely on instinct to deliver the fireworks to Ji Zhaoming.
—In truth, emotions are inherently irrational things. Just like the phrase "love and hate intertwined," it's hard to say whether love prevails or hate takes precedence.
The naive and immature robots had no code stating that they should like Ji Zhaoming as a person, but they just happened to think that Ji Zhaoming as king was exceptionally good.
We need to set off hundreds more, no, thousands more, of fireworks for Wang!
After a brief discussion, the robots quietly approached Gu He, though Gu Yunzhou wasn't entirely sure what they said.
Just thinking about that scene made Gu Yunzhou want to rub his temples, feeling regretful that he was one of those creatures.
Just as he was about to leave with Ji Zhaoming, Gu He, who was guarding outside the door, walked shakily to Gu Yunzhou with his short legs, trying to impress their leader with his small and cute figure, at least to avoid being ruthless to the robot who looked like an underage child.
Just then, his king hadn't fully reacted yet and was moving rather slowly, so Gu Yunzhou gave Gu He a meaningful glance.
The sharpness in his eyes made Gu He immediately close his eyes, but this was a matter of great importance concerning the king, and he could not back down. Gu He mustered his courage and said, "Chief."
Gu Yunzhou was thinking about letting his king rest when he blinked slowly and asked, "Hmm?"
Gu He's courage almost vanished in an instant.
He met Gu Yunzhou's eyes, trying hard not to look away, and said, "Chief, you mustn't hit our king!"
"No," Gu Yunzhou said, puzzled.
Their code is configured not to attack humans.
Although Gu He had always suspected that their leader actually possessed this code.
Gu He scratched the back of his head: "Chief, what I mean is that our king has just awakened and knows nothing about this world. In addition, humans are not as indestructible as us."
He glanced at Gu Yunzhou and said cautiously, "So, could you please be nicer to Wang? Please don't hit him, don't yell at him, and definitely don't... give him the silent treatment!"
Although the leader's actions were somewhat different from before, it was precisely this change that made Gu He uneasy.
When has the leader ever been so kind to anyone!
Even the last time he laughed was...!
Gu He couldn't even remember the last time their leader had laughed.
Immediately afterwards, their leader's aura turned cold.
Gu Heming was so frightened that his code was all messed up, but he still had to keep his back to the leader's gaze.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou looked at Ji Zhaoming, blinked rapidly, and smiled almost imperceptibly: "Master, very good."
He praised her so earnestly that Ji Zhaoming buried her face in the blanket, only revealing her bright eyes. Ji Zhaoming whispered, "Thank you."
Gu Yunzhou helped cover himself with the blanket, saying, "Master."
"Um?"
Gu Yunzhou placed his hand on Ji Zhaoming's face, then leaned closer and whispered in Ji Zhaoming's ear, "Goodnight."
"...Goodnight." Ji Zhaoming gripped the blanket tighter. To avoid being heard by Gu Yunzhou, Ji Zhaoming carefully lowered his voice, slowly exhaling to dispel the heat in his heart.
