Chapter 77

Gu Yunzhou smiled, not finding it childish at all, and replied, "He is my master."

He emphasized the word "my" with extra force.

After a pause, Gu Yunzhou asked, "Are there any dietary restrictions?"

“No,” Ji Zhaoming said. “I’m not picky.”

The former city lord, tall and imposing, stood in front of the kitchen, doing meticulous work. As he raised his eyebrows, the light softened his features, making him appear gentle and tender.

This scene looks incredibly eerie.

Ji Zhaoming touched the bridge of his nose and felt that Gu Yunzhou actually looked a little like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Gu Yunzhou seemed to notice Ji Zhaoming's gaze, turned around, put the wrapped wontons into the boiling water, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The moment Ji Zhaoming saw this person's gaze, he knew for a second that this woman was definitely not a virtuous wife and loving mother.

He was not a wolf, but a wolf ready to pounce at any moment. He had simply put aside his true nature in front of Ji Zhaoming, appearing to have reformed.

Ji Zhaoming quickly shook his head.

The space was too cramped. If he stayed any longer, Ji Zhaoming felt like he was about to be swallowed up, so he quickly ran back to the living room.

After waiting a while, Gu Yunzhou brought out the wontons.

He cooked two bowls, handing one to Ji Zhaoming and placing the other in front of himself.

Ji Zhaoming picked up a piece with his chopsticks. When the chopsticks touched something, Ji Zhaoming lifted the object up.

There was an egg inside.

After finishing eating, Gu Yunzhou put the bowls and chopsticks in the sink. As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, he saw Ji Zhaoming take off his shoes and socks, sprawled on the sofa, holding a personal terminal in his hand, and waving at him.

Gu Yunzhou stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

Ji Zhaoming asked, "Have the people from other planets been settled in?"

"Hmm." Gu Yunzhou sat down next to him, grabbed Ji Zhaoming's ankle, and said, "It's cold at night, wear socks."

Ji Zhaoming made two "oh" sounds, got up and put on his socks, and said, "Actually, you could have woken me up, but the environment was so comfortable that I drifted off to sleep."

He scratched his face a couple of times, embarrassed.

Gu Yunzhou hummed in agreement: "I deliberately didn't wake you because you were sleeping so soundly."

Ji Zhaoming grunted and then got to the point: "But wouldn't it be inappropriate if I didn't show up?"

After all, he had also seen Gu Yunzhou's information on his personal terminal, and it seemed that all the people who came were people with names and identities.

"It doesn't matter." Gu Yunzhou said casually, tilting his head back and shifting his gaze to Ji Zhaoming, "They're not worth your attention."

Besides, if Ji Zhaoming has to handle everything, what's the point of being the city lord?

What he wanted to create for Ji Zhaoming was a carefree paradise.

Gu Yunzhou patted Ji Zhaoming's head: "Want to go out for a walk to digest your food? You can sleep after you've eaten?"

Ji Zhaoming felt that he was getting closer and closer to the days of eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating.

There's a small garden behind the castle, which is used for disinfection.

The back garden was filled with bouquets, and you could smell the fragrance of flowers as soon as you entered.

Taking advantage of the beautiful moonlight, the two decided to go for a walk together.

Since arriving on the garbage planet, Ji Zhaoming had never seen so many flowers before, and couldn't help but joke, "Did the previous city lord bring all the flowers here?"

Gu Yunzhou corrected, "It's the previous appointment."

Ji Zhaoming always believed that Gu Yunzhou was the new city lord.

He drew out his "oh" and teased, "Oh? You don't want to plant flowers?"

As far as he knew, flowers were one of the most precious things in the world.

And who could resist having flowers planted inside and outside their house?

Gu Yunzhou said, "I already have a bouquet of flowers in my heart."

Ji Zhaoming paused for a moment: "What flower?"

Gu Yunzhou smiled but did not answer.

It is impolite to casually comment on the smell of omega pheromones.

He looked at Ji Zhaoming with only a pair of deep eyes.

Just like...

It's like looking at your favorite person.

Even without saying anything, Ji Zhaoming already understood the meaning behind those eyes.

Ji Zhaoming suddenly realized that Gu Yunzhou's pheromones were indeed a good match for this person.

It's a pot of strong liquor.

Chapter 47

<A beast in human clothing>

After they finished eating, Gu Yunzhou accompanied Ji Zhaoming back to his room, closing the door to separate the two of them.

Ji Zhaoming, inside the door, rubbed his face with his hand, wondering if he had undergone a second differentiation, otherwise why would his face be so hot?

He turned the air conditioner down, took off his shoes, and pounced on the bed, letting his face sink into the soft sheets.

Finally, he rolled over and looked up at the ceiling.

The surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The walls were white, and even the night breeze was gentle. Everything seemed so peaceful, except for Ji Zhaoming's heart, which was pounding nonstop.

He took a deep breath and tried to fall asleep.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

Ji Zhaoming, unusually, suffered from insomnia.

He sat up abruptly in bed, put on his slippers again, and tiptoed out of the room.

I wonder if Gu Yunzhou is asleep at this time.

Ji Zhaoming went to the living room again in the dark to take another look.

The living room lights were still on. Gu Yunzhou was finishing up his work when he heard the sound. He frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

Upon seeing that the person in front of him was Ji Zhaoming, his gaze softened instantly. He took a few steps to Ji Zhaoming and asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of the dark?"

It's impossible that I'm afraid of the dark.

Ji Zhaoming shook his head and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Gu Yunzhou scrolled to the last page on his personal terminal and said, "Hmm, the last bit. I'll go to sleep after I finish reading. Why did you come over, Master? Can't sleep?"

Ji Zhaoming suddenly realized that whenever Gu Yunzhou spoke, most of his sentences were 1 part about himself and 9 parts about Ji Zhaoming.

He gave a soft "hmm," and said, "I just slept, so I'm not sleepy now."

Gu Yunzhou drew out an "oh" at the end of his sentence.

This made Ji Zhaoming feel that his little secret thoughts had been seen through.

Gu Yunzhou warmed a glass of milk in the kitchen, tilted his head, and looked at Ji Zhaoming: "Let's go?"

Where to go?

Ji Zhaoming followed Gu Yunzhou in a daze, watching him wander through the maze of streets before finally stopping in his room.

The door creaked open.

The voice sounded very familiar, making Ji Zhaoming feel that it wasn't a door that had been opened, but his own heart.

He looked up at Gu Yunzhou.

The lights were off inside. Half of Gu Yunzhou's face was in shadow, while the other half was illuminated. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and when he turned his head, his eyes were filled with a bright smile.

Gu Yunzhou called out, "Is Master looking at me?"

Ji Zhaoming's first reaction was to turn his head away.

After a moment of stunned silence, she said matter-of-factly, "Yeah, they're all boys, what's wrong with looking?"

Gu Yunzhou turned on the light and actually pondered for a while before saying, "Okay, but I don't like Master looking at me from a male perspective, but rather..."

It's for people you like.

Gu Yunzhou placed the cup on the bedside table, then moved a chair over, reached into the bookshelf, and pulled out a book.

Ji Zhaoming didn't understand: "What are you trying to do?"

Gu Yunzhou shook the book in his hand: "Bedtime story."

Ji Zhaoming muttered, "I'm an adult now. This is just child's play."

Despite saying that, Ji Zhaoming still took off his shoes and socks and climbed into bed.

Just as he was about to lie down, Gu Yunzhou placed his hand on Ji Zhaoming's back, stopping him from doing so.

The warm question traveled down those hands, causing Ji Zhaoming to tremble a few times.

Gu Yunzhou glanced at the room temperature, frowned, and said, "Why is it set so low?"

Ji Zhaoming said in a low voice, "It's hot."

Gu Yunzhou sighed helplessly, adjusted the temperature back, and said, "Master."

Ji Zhaoming suddenly felt like a troublesome child being scolded by an adult.

Perhaps it was in this atmosphere that Ji Zhaoming started to act like a child, saying in a spoiled tone, "I know, it's just too hot."

Gu Yunzhou glanced at Ji Zhaoming.

He hummed in agreement: "Don't do that again next time. Drink this glass of milk. Do you want to hear a bedtime story?"

Ji Zhaoming said, "Yes."
