Ji Zhaoming didn't understand the meaning, and replied with a smile, "That's right, you'll only know what kind of person he is after you've actually spent time with him."
Gu Yunzhou: ...
How to truly get along?
That's far from enough.
Gu Yunzhou lowered his eyes and asked, "Master."
"Um?"
"Can you touch me again?"
Ji Zhaoming: ? ?
What kind of talk is that?
Ji Zhaoming looked at Gu Yunzhou with some fear and stammered, "Touch...touch where?"
Gu Yunzhou's hand slid from his forehead to his brow, then to his eyes, down to his lips.
His lips were very thin.
It is said that people with thin lips are the most ruthless, but the confusion lingering between Gu Yunzhou's brows broke the aura of ruthlessness.
Ji Zhaoming stared at Gu Yunzhou's hand, thinking: Could it be that he's going to touch here?
It looks a bit strange.
He clutched the hem of his clothes, remaining motionless for a moment.
Fortunately, Gu Yunzhou's hand eventually returned to the bright eyes. He half-closed his eyes and tapped his eyelids: "Here."
Whenever the king's hands roamed over his body, he felt a strange palpitation that kept pounding in his heart. Especially when his hands touched the king's eyes, Gu Yunzhou had to use a lot of strength to control himself and not pull the king into his arms and embed him into his bones.
He wanted to know why.
Gu Yunzhou bent down, his neatly styled hair lying flat against his face.
Despite being a gesture of submission, it inexplicably instilled fear in Ji Zhaoming, and he tremblingly reached out his hand—
Boom!
A loud bang came from outside the spaceship.
Gu Yunzhou quickly opened his eyes, grasped Ji Zhaoming's outstretched left hand with his large palm, and gently placed him back in his seat. At the same time, he strode to the control panel and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Gu He glanced at the panel: "It's space pirates."
Disturbed by the sudden interruption, Gu Yunzhou was in a particularly bad mood and said in a suppressed tone, "You have quite the nerve."
It's no wonder that space pirates are afraid of the robot race; it's the most dangerous race, bar none. Unless absolutely necessary, most races avoid robots.
The robot's spaceship is also easy to recognize; it's cold and unadorned, and can be identified at a glance even from a distance.
But this time, for their king, the robots were specially decorated inside and out, making them look like wealthy young men on an outing.
The space pirates were a little puzzled as to which family's young master this was, showing no restraint whatsoever. But after circling around him and looking at the expensively decorated patterns, they finally made up their minds.
Who cares whose young master he is, he's definitely a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Gu He glanced at the thin Ji Zhaoming and asked, "Chief, shall we call? Wait... the space pirates are requesting a call, should the king answer?"
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Gu Yunzhou?"
To protect their king, Ji Zhaoming sat in the secondary seat, while Gu Yunzhou slowly sat in the main seat, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and raised his eyelids: "Receive."
He was curious about what had gotten into these space pirates that made them dare to hijack their spaceship.
—And Wang happened to see it all.
That's so embarrassing.
But is it also an opportunity to play the victim?
After a crackling sound, the contact was connected.
Before they could even see who was inside the spaceship, the person on the other end burst into loud laughter and said, "Hand over your most precious possessions, and I might spare your lives."
After a delay, the image finally appeared in front of the space pirates.
Space pirates: "…………Machine race???"
However, no one paid them any attention.
Because the robots' gazes were all fixed on Ji Zhaoming, who appeared unusually quiet to the side.
This is their most precious possession.
Ji Zhaoming: "Hmm?"
A note from the author:
Ji Zhaoming: 0v0 Hmm? Why are you looking at me?

Chapter 19
<Inviolable>
When the space pirates realized that the flashy ship was carrying a machine race, their hearts sank.
Although many questions lingered in my mind, such as why the usually indifferent machine race used such a strange spaceship, who they were looking at at this moment, and who exactly was that docile-looking, harmless creature with soft hair.
His mind was filled with a jumble of questions, and driven by his instinct to risk his life, the space pirate was about to apologize: "Yes—"
The communication software in front of them was quickly disconnected, leaving them no time to react.
what happened?
Nothing actually happened.
Gu Yunzhou, unusually, turned off the contact.
Their king has been spied on.
They were still the most notorious space pirates.
Ha, to make them hand over the king is something no robot can tolerate.
The air inside the spaceship suddenly dropped several degrees, and Gu He said angrily, "Chief, they are spying on our king!"
He tried hard to suppress his anger, but when he saw Ji Zhaoming sitting next to him, the flames ignited.
This is their treasure, a treasure they would cherish so dearly they'd be afraid it would melt away. And these space pirates talk about it so casually.
Give them to them?!
This is undoubtedly like pulling the tiger's hair out of its head.
Gu He said, "Chief, shall we...?"
He glanced at Ji Zhaoming beside him, but ultimately didn't finish his sentence.
—Their king was the cleanest man in the world, and he didn't want their king to know these things.
In the past, Gu Yunzhou would have naturally nodded in agreement.
But his king is still beside him.
Gu Yunzhou tilted his head and asked softly, "Master?"
Ji Zhaoming blinked.
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Should we shoot down their spaceship?"
In fact, Ji Zhaoming really wanted to explain that what the space pirates wanted to steal was not him.
Perhaps explanations won't help.
Ji Zhaoming smiled.
When he smiles, his eyes first curve slightly with a hint of amusement, then the corners of his eyes droop, and the corners of his mouth form a beautiful arc, making all the muscles in his face smile.
Seeing that smile, Gu Yunzhou and Gu He's anger subsided slightly.
They quickly regrouped.
If such a beautiful woman were to be captured...
These space pirates deserve to die.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Space pirates, are they the kind who kill and set fires?"
Gu He nodded: "Mm."
Ji Zhaoming asked, "What would you have done in the past?"
Previously, no one dared to hijack the machine race's spaceship.
In earlier times, before the machine race had established its reputation, it did indeed experience a period of chaos.
Gu Yunzhou lowered his eyes, concealing his expression, and said in a low voice, "I will kill him directly."
Their king is a good man.
The machine race, however, are villains.
How can we control evil?
Let disgusting things be willingly led astray.
However, this is ultimately flawed. Once the rope breaks, evil will only become worse and will run away without ever turning back.
—Because once you have surrendered, you can no longer bear the loneliness of darkness. Unless there is an even darker desolation, how can it fill your heart?
In that case, Ji Zhaoming has no way to leave.
Gu Yunzhou spoke calmly, concealing his true thoughts.
However, after a brief pause, Gu Yunzhou heard Ji Zhaoming's reply.
