Chapter 81

Besides, when it comes to the frequency of looking at the quantum computer, Gu Yunzhou should first reflect on himself.

Gu Yunzhou said, "But we have to get up early tomorrow."

Tomorrow we're going to the Imperial Star, Gu Yunzhou turned to Gu He and said, "You should go to sleep early too."

Gu He was flattered and overwhelmed.

This was the first time Gu Yunzhou had ever shown him any concern.

Gu He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, Gu Yunzhou is right. Wang should spend less time on his personal terminal."

He glanced at the time and said simply, "Then I won't bother you any longer. What time tomorrow? I'll set the time."

"We'll depart at ten o'clock," Gu Yunzhou replied.

Ji Zhaoming usually gets up at 7 or 8 o'clock, and after tidying up, he can finish around 10 o'clock.

Gu He: ?

But isn't this Wang's usual routine? Why did he specifically tell him to go to bed early?

However, going to bed early is always a good idea, and what Gu Yunzhou said was indeed reasonable, so Gu He had no reason to refute it.

Gu He pondered for a moment but still couldn't figure out the reason, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to the two of them, saying, "Okay, then I'll go back to sleep, Wang Wan'an."

"Good night," Ji Zhaoming said with a smile as he said goodbye.

Ji Zhaoming was also unconvinced and muttered, "It's only a few o'clock, I'll look at my personal computer for a while longer before I go to sleep."

Just as Gu He was about to close the door, he heard Gu Yunzhou say, "Then let's play a little longer."

Gu He: ?

Something seems off.

Gu He walked towards his room, but stopped halfway there.

Wait a minute, why is he the only one sleeping?

What about Gu Yunzhou?

Damn it, he fell for it again!

Chapter 50

<Love Again>

The starship started up, passing through layers of clouds and traversing the stars.

The entire starship gleamed with a metallic sheen, looking incredibly imposing. The technologically advanced starship blended perfectly with the interstellar space, and the words "Garbage Star" were written in bold, elegant strokes on its surface.

Although the words appear to be sarcastic, they somehow convey a sense of unbridled freedom and a "keep away" attitude.

However, the feeling inside the starship was quite different.

The orange light was just right, neither too bright like an incandescent bulb nor too dim.

It was dark in space, but warm and cozy inside this small starship.

Ji Zhaoming ate breakfast before going out.

But on the small table in front of him, there were all kinds of snacks. If you opened the drawer next to his table, you could even see various drinks and books. They were all prepared by Gu Yunzhou and Gu He to keep him from getting bored.

In particular, the two of them were so eager to see who could find something that suited Ji Zhaoming's tastes better that they practically moved the entire small warehouse over.

Having no other choice, Ji Zhaoming could only advise, "It's not that different."

“The journey is long,” Gu Yunzhou and Gu He said. “Your Majesty/Master will be very bored along the way.”

The commander, feeling embarrassed, said from the side, "This time we've prepared the fastest starships; they should arrive in just half a day."

Gu He sighed, "Yes, it's been half a day. Wang has never been that far before."

commander:?

He finally realized that even if Ji Zhaoming only went to the port, these people would probably be extremely worried.

This isn't how you treat a city lord; it's like treating a newborn cub.

That's not right either; the cubs of their imperial planet don't need to be treated with such care.

Once aboard the starship, the residents of the garbage planet, upon hearing the news, rushed to the port. It was as if they were facing a life-or-death separation; they wept uncontrollably. Many even prepared food, toys, and clothes, which they ran to present to their city lord.

As a result, Ji Zhaoming brought a significant increase in supplies.

As the Imperial Star drew closer, the Commander noticed Ji Zhaoming, who was wearing only a thin shirt, and suddenly remembered something, reminding him, "It's winter on the Imperial Star now, remember to change your clothes before you go down."

For the thick-skinned aplha, these things were of course not a concern. As for the beta, they were not the focus of the Imperial Star's attention. The commander had almost forgotten about it.

The commander's fingertips lightly touched Ji Zhaoming's body, and he paused: "This clothes are too thin, you might catch a cold."

In the past, if someone said he would worry that someone might catch a cold because they weren't dressed warmly enough, he would definitely laugh and scold them back.

But this person is Ji Zhaoming.

The commander's gaze lingered on Ji Zhaoming's face for a moment.

Ji Zhaoming's face was very pale, so the touch of red at the corners of his eyes and lips stood out.

The commander was immediately filled with worry.

Ji Zhaoming looked up and smiled slightly at him: "I understand, thank you for reminding me."

The commander said in a low voice, "No need."

The moment his hand left, he was met with two deathly gazes.

Gu He said, "This is my king, you don't need to trouble yourself."

Gu Yunzhou placed his hand on Ji Zhaoming's shoulder, a gesture that seemed to assert his dominance. He smiled faintly and said, "This is our city lord. We will take good care of him."

Gu Yunzhou himself was born on the Emperor Star, so of course he knows what month and season it is on the Emperor Star.

I just thought that the indoor temperature on the starship was sufficient, so I didn't change it.

Unexpectedly, this gave the commander an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Gu He volunteered, saying, "The clothes are in the next room; I'll get them for Wang."

After watching the commander and Gu He leave, Gu Yunzhou sat down again, burying his head on Ji Zhaoming's shoulder: "Master is indeed very popular."

That's right. Ji Zhaoming has a pleasing appearance and a good personality, so it would be strange if he wasn't popular.

Gu Yunzhou whispered, "What should we do? As a subordinate, am I not qualified to manage these trivial matters of my master?"

The meaning of this statement is already quite clear.

Ji Zhaoming also lowered his voice and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

Gu Yunzhou suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Zhaoming in disbelief.

The gaze was too intense, like a fierce beast staring at him with wide eyes, ready to pounce at any moment. Ji Zhaoming turned his head away somewhat embarrassed.

Before long, they were facing Gu Yunzhou again.

Ji Zhaoming repeated, "Then in what capacity do you want to manage this?"

Gu Yunzhou tried his best to calm himself down.

He heard his own voice.

It was trembling slightly.

Gu Yunzhou said, "Couples, or perhaps—"

"The one after that is too fast," Ji Zhaoming quickly interrupted.

Gu Yunzhou asked, "Does Master mean that he agrees with the former?"

Ji Zhaoming replied, "Yes."

Gu Yunzhou suddenly hugged Ji Zhaoming tightly, so tightly that Ji Zhaoming could not break free.

—Although Ji Zhaoming showed no intention of breaking free.

It wasn't until he met Ji Zhaoming and felt the warmth emanating from him that Gu Yunzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought this was a dream."

Ji Zhaoming smiled: "What if it's a dream?"

This world is not the world Ji Zhaoming lives in; for Ji Zhaoming, isn't it all just a dream?

Ji Zhaoming didn't even dare to think about what he would face after waking up from such a vague dream.

This is why he's afraid of falling in love; love makes people crazy, makes them obsessed, makes them...

It makes people willing to throw themselves into a dream, even if they know it's just a dream, even if it means being shattered to pieces.

Like a moth drawn to a flame.

It turns out that one day, he too would succumb.

Ji Zhaoming sighed softly to himself.

Ji Zhaoming disliked the kind of passionate love that was like a flame that constantly burned away his life, tempering him through life and death.

To be honest, Ji Zhaoming just wanted to be a lazy bum and didn't want to work so hard.

So at the beginning, when Gu Yunzhou expressed his feelings, Ji Zhaoming rejected him and even felt somewhat resistant.

This doesn't suit his taste.

Falling in love in a dream—isn't that a story where you have to go through trials before you can fall in love? And the ending might even be that you're separated by death.

However, compared to the ethereal feeling of falling in love in a dream, Gu Yunzhou gives people a sense of groundedness.

Whenever Gu Yunzhou stood beside him, Ji Zhaoming always felt that this person had built a bridge from dreams to reality.

Thus, Ji Zhaoming had the courage to take the gamble.

But he couldn't help but ask Gu Yunzhou, "What if it was just a dream?"

Gu Yunzhou leaned in, and Ji Zhaoming placed a kiss on his cheek. His voice was muffled as he said, "Then let's have a simple romance in our dreams. No one can control dreams, can they?"

After saying this, Gu Yunzhou stood up again and said decisively, "Moreover, this is not a dream. Even if I leave the dream, I can still find my master, find my Ji Zhaoming."
