This is too much for him; he's just a coward who doesn't want to shoulder other people's hopes.
However, looking at the garbage planet and at the thin Gu He, Ji Zhaoming thought that he didn't want to bear the hopes of others, but he wouldn't mind becoming the hope himself.
Amidst a sky full of stars, he would gladly be the moonlight.
From then on, everyone had a direction.

Now that the contract has been signed, Ji Zhaoming is no longer afraid that Gu He will find out about Gu Yunzhou's amnesia.
Gu He raised an eyebrow, maintaining a condescending expression despite his short stature, and said to Gu Yunzhou, "Oh, I didn't realize that the City Lord's amnesia was still so annoying."
Gu Yunzhou ignored him.
Ignoring him was the greatest contempt, which made Gu He grit his teeth in hatred.
He wished he could take Gu Yunzhou on a lot of laps and exhaust him to death, even though he might actually be the one to collapse first.
After all, in terms of endurance, he was far inferior to Gu Yunzhou.
However, thinking of Ji Zhaoming, he regretfully abandoned the plan.
Gu Yunzhou's castle truly lived up to its name. As the place with the most flowers and plants on the entire garbage planet, you could smell a faint floral fragrance as soon as you entered.
Gu He scoffed, "It must have been his deputy who helped with the planting. He's definitely someone who got promoted through connections; he's quite the flatterer."
In Gu He's eyes, Gu Yunzhou was bad in every way.
The gate opened, and amidst the winding river, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, Gu He's deputy hurriedly came to greet them.
Seeing the people behind Gu Yunzhou, he asked curiously, "City Lord, who are these two?"
Gu Yunzhou pushed Ji Zhaoming in front of him: "He is my master."
He glanced casually at Gu He again: "and his henchmen."
Deputy: "Oh—"
Deputy: ? ? ? ?
The city lord's master?
How should we shout it?
The deputy looked bewildered.
The deputy, bewildered, echoed, "The city lord's master is our master."
"King," Gu Yunzhou corrected, "He is your king."
The deputy naturally saw the importance of Ji Zhaoming in Gu Yunzhou's heart, and went along with it, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me."
Gu He jumped up and down: "Don't you have your own names?! Why do you have to copy mine?!"
Ji Zhaoming patted Gu He's head reassuringly.
Gu Yunzhou stopped in his tracks: "I want one too."
He crouched down and brought his head to Ji Zhaoming's side.
Second-in-command: ...
The deputy felt his values slowly crumbling.
When has their city lord ever been so approachable?
His eyes suddenly changed.
Could this be their city lord's wife?
Gu He: "Hey, hey, hey, don't you have your own way of being cute?! How awful!"

Chapter 36
<Pheromone Matching>
Gu He's shouting made Ji Zhaoming pause as he was about to touch Gu Yunzhou.
However, Gu Yunzhou did not give Ji Zhaoming this chance, grabbing Ji Zhaoming's hand and slowly placing it on his head.
Now that you've already touched it, there's no going back.
Ji Zhaoming gently rubbed Gu Yunzhou's head and suddenly burst out laughing.
The emotions that had been building up all day were calmed the moment he touched Gu Yunzhou. He then patted Gu Yunzhou's head hard before gesturing for him to stand up.
Gu He moved closer to Ji Zhaoming, dissatisfied.
Ji Zhaoming skillfully patted Gu He's head again.
The deputy stood to the side: ...
He hesitated whether to continue speaking, but then he caught a look from Gu Yunzhou out of the corner of his eye. He immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Let me take Wang and this gentleman inside. You must be tired from the journey."
Gu He replied, "Gu He, my name is Gu He."
After Gu Yunzhou took over the position of city lord, he kept the master bedroom and only kept a secondary bedroom for himself.
However, he wandered around outside all day and was rarely seen. He even rarely stayed in the secondary bedroom. His assistant initially found it strange, but later thought that it was probably because Gu Yunzhou was new to the area and not used to it.
It wasn't until he saw Gu Yunzhou leading Ji Zhaoming into the master bedroom that he suddenly realized what had happened.
It turns out it wasn't that I wasn't adapting well, but rather that the right person hadn't come to the master bedroom yet.
Gu He followed Ji Zhaoming into the master bedroom.
Gu Yunzhou said, "Wait a moment."
When Gu Yunzhou came back in, he was carrying a small white package.
After dismissing his deputy, Gu Yunzhou took a small package and sat down next to Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming asked curiously, "What is this?"
Inside was a syringe, a piece of gauze, and a spray bottle. The needle at the end of the syringe was extremely sharp, gleaming coldly.
Gu He instantly stepped in front of Ji Zhaoming: "What do you want to do?!"
Gu Yunzhou said, "Take the pheromones."
Gu He is only 16 years old this year. He has experienced his first differentiation prediction. The prediction result is a powerful aplha, but this does not mean that Gu He can smell pheromones.
Strangely enough, Gu He was already showing signs of differentiating himself from Aplha, which meant that both his appearance and personality would develop in the direction of egocentrism.
However, he did so so easily when it came to submitting to Ji Zhaoming.
This made Gu He wonder if his prediction about the differentiation was wrong.
Only after being reminded of this did Gu He remember the matter, and he subconsciously asked, "Wang, are you an adult?"
Ji Zhaoming looked up and down.
He has a small face, fair skin, and small bones; even a gust of wind can reveal his slender waist hidden under his oversized clothes.
Gu He explained, "I didn't mean to question Wang, it's just that Wang's face looks so young. Is Wang an aplha? Then we need to test his pheromones quickly, just in case... no, just in case! It's just to make it easier to make inhibitors!"
Strictly speaking, Ji Zhaoming's appearance is neither like an aplha nor like a beta.
He was slender, yet he possessed the same conviction as Aplha.
But that syringe is way too sharp!
Gu He complained, "Using such a sharp needle, I think you have something against Aplha."
Even though Aplha is the strongest gender, in Gu He's eyes, Ji Zhaoming should be cherished and protected.
Ji Zhaoming smiled and said, "It's alright, how do I do it?"
Gu Yunzhou said, "Get out."
"Um?"
"ah?"
Gu Yunzhou: "Gu He, get out."
What's the point of going out? Gu He has seen people test pheromones before.
However, when he met Ji Zhaoming's eyes, Gu He hesitated again.
Hmm... Kings are different.
Gu He gritted his teeth: "I'll help you get out, isn't that the same thing?"
He knew he was just a vulgar guy from a trash planet, no match for Gu Yunzhou's ruthlessness, so he ultimately chose to leave the room.
Suddenly, only Ji Zhaoming and Gu Yunzhou were left in the room.
The room, intended as the master bedroom, was quite spacious, but Ji Zhaoming still awkwardly shifted to the side and asked softly, "What should I do?"
The cold fingers touched the back of Ji Zhaoming's neck, and Ji Zhaoming shivered slightly.
Gu Yunzhou said, "Here."
In order to allow Fang Guyunzhou to test him, Ji Zhaoming half-undressed, leaving his collar open and revealing his slender neck.
There is also a small mole on the back of her neck.
Gu Yunzhou touched it with his hand.
Ji Zhaoming hissed, "It itches."
After waiting a long time without Gu Yunzhou making any further moves, he turned around—
He was pinned down on the bed and couldn't move.
Gu Yunzhou said in a deep voice, "If you're scared, don't watch."
Ji Zhaoming was actually a little scared by the long needle tip, so he turned his head away and chose not to look.
Where he couldn't see, Gu Yunzhou's pupils gradually turned red as he stared intently at Ji Zhaoming's neck, his gaze flickering between light and shadow.
Omega has an absolute attraction to aplha.
